Robinson Cano Is the Miami Marlins of Coherent Statements

Some of you out there may be aware that yesterday my beloved A's absolutely dominated* the universally despised Yankees for 18 innings of baseball.  What I want to talk about is something Robinson Cano said after the game.  Apparently, early in the game** A's future Hall of Famer Derrick Norris accused Cano of stealing signs while he was at second base.  Cano did not like this and yelled at the potential Nobel Physics Prize winner.  When asked what all the yelling was about after the game, Cano said this:

"It was the catcher talking. He said that I was giving signs. When he first said something, he came to the mound and had his mask on. And then after that, they struck out Vernon [Wells] and I said, 'Throw the ball over the plate,' you know what I mean?"

I just want to focus on that last sentence: "And then after that, they struck out Vernon [Wells] and I said, 'Throw the ball over the plate,' you know what I mean?" No, Robinson, I don't know what you mean. I could not even guess at what you mean. If anybody out there can enlighten me (Joe U?), please do.

*I also considered crushed or annihilated.
