This streak of Cano and the 3 Runs every game is just awesome.
It really is. Cano is soooo locked in right now, it seems everything he hits is a bullet. True pleasure to watch him hit right now…..such a smooth swing and he never seems to be off-balance. He hits off-speed pitches so well if I had a good fastball that’s all I’d throw him.
my wife got me his autographed signed baseball 2 years ago for christmas. It’s amazing to just watch the price going up and up for it now.
Ken. Who holds the MLB record for hitting in 56 games straight?
twasp, why do you write in the 2nd (or 3rd maybe even 4th) party? I know Ricky did, when speaking of himself but, why you?
As for 56 in 56 games, that is an insulting question to ask one of my great mental ability and power of deduction and reason…don’t you think? lol
Keb – too easy fir a man of your power of dedction and reason ? Ok try this….
Who is the only man in MLB history BESIDES Joe DiMaggio to get 59 hits in 61 straight games?
TWASP M.D.
Cano is only going to get better….he isn’t a cerebral player butnhe will learn more through experience……his selectivity at the plate will slowly get more disciplined each year and his base running instincts will improve. Neither will ever be great though because his lack of constant focus his rooted deep in his personality.
