Robinson Cano explains blatantly not trying with excuses, no apology

MIAMI — The check is in the mail and the dog ate his homework.

Robinson Cano’s latest bone-headed base-running play came without apology Sunday, after he stood near the batter’s box at Marlins Park and watched catcher Chad Wallach turn an inning-ending double play on his squib that started foul and rolled fair.

“I thought it was a foul ball,” Cano said after the Mets lost 3-0 to the Marlins.

Cano said the ball is foul in such instances “99 percent of the time” and blamed plate umpire Jordan Baker for not immediately informing him the ball was fair.
