Here’s a random item on the day. Currently, Robinson Cano’s batting average on balls in play – not his batting average, but his BABIP – stands at .300. On his career, Cano’s BABIP is a robust .321, meaning that his current BABIP is actually lower than the norm (but, to be clear, we are only 13 games into the season, so take this analysis lightly). Hence, while his .327/.375/653 triple slash line is nice, Cano should probably have an even better line right now (compared to his career average, he’s also hitting more balls in the air, further impacting his current line). It’s hard to imagine him doing any better than he is, though. Even his outs are hard fought battles.

Robbie’s game last night was extremely encouraging. Three walks in a game for Robbie is huge.
Like I said, Melky was addition through subtraction.Cano thinks about hitting and situations now instead of doing idiotic belly bumps and grins with Melky.He’s alone now and looking more to the veterans.
