Minor Matters: Lorenzo Cain Awaits his Chance
So two months into the season, Cain remains at Triple-A and he continues to put up strong numbers. He’s gone a bit chilly lately, with hitless efforts in two of his last three games, but after getting off to a slow start, Cain blazed in May, batting .321 with 21 runs, 16 extra-base hits and a 900 OPS. He’s only swiped five bases so far, but is showing more extra-base power than he did last season.

Video Game Review: The 3rd Birthday
Where the game struggles is when trying to create distance from enemies as it’s basically impossible to run and manipulate the camera (done via the d-pad) simultaneously. The workaround is to flee, and then press the left bumper to quickly lock onto a foe, adjusting your view in the process. It’s imprecise, though, as it causes you to come to a complete stop. Manually aiming weapons like the grenade launcher and sniper rifle is painfully slow, and it demonstrates just how dependent the game is on the auto-aiming system.
