    Look like White may have successfully rode out the rapids. That's why you don't simply demote a guy when he hits his first slump.

    I think I agree with Ashby that we should be pitching Cano down and away. If he gets a single, so be it.

    The strike zone has changed so much the last few years ! I remember the days of a strike is a strike and a ball is a ball

    Pretty sure he deposited a Crawford Box HR on a down and away pitch.

    He's just in a total groove right now.

    he's not barry. You don't just put him on base with 0 outs

    I didn't say put him on base just pitch the corners just like he did. He's not Barry but he sure has looked like him this series he's been on a tear

    You said don't pitch any strikes to him. But fine if you were advocating for corners. If a ML pitcher could hit the corners and then have pitches dive out of the zone with every pitch they threw, that's what they would do. Some velocity, movement, and pinpoint accuracy together are not the easiest thing to do on every pitch though

    Good solid 7 innings from Colin. Do we send him out for the 8th or turn it over to Will?
