As much as on the surface he doesn't seem all that special with his barely 90mph fastball, he has been the most consistent work horses of all the relievers the Angels have sent out there the last 3 years. Scioscia used him for over 1/3 of the games in long relief, Asmus did about the same and so did Maddon. Each year his ERA dropped. Meanwhile everyone else has been all over the place pairing a good year with awful. 

He is nothing really special but he also isn't throwing kerosene on a flickering fire. The Angels need 6th and 7th iining eaters, he's that guy.

I love Noe, one of the more under-appreciated Angels. Great guy to have on the depth chart as the season goes on.

He struggled with the long ball in 2018, but since then has allowed just 11 HRs in 88 innings with a sub 4.00 ERA.

Struck out well over 1 per inning in 2018-19, but only 14 in 21 innings in 2020.

Career WHIP with the Halos so far is just under 1.20.

That was last weekend against the M's. 

Since then they got Bregman and Alvarez back and Altuve is coming back this weekend sometime. 

Today's lineup..

It looks like Seattle is getting solid pitching. Not sure the Angels can say the same at this time.
