I agree with this. We took 2 of 3 from one of the AL favorites against some really good pitching. And one of our biggest worries was starting pitching yet we saw our three completely out pitch their 3.
As for Gordon I do recall he hit a few hard ones that were some bad luck. Regardless that throw he made on Pujols at the plate in game 2 was huge. If not for that play the inning could get troublesome. And one thing that typically holds true is hitters are slightly behind pitchers when the season starts. I am sure Cain did not see the calibur of pitchers in the preseason, especially starters, like he did over the weekend. He will hopefully adjust and continue to play great D. On a side our outfield defense is pretty sick with all above average arms and good speed at center and left.
