Touki pitching in relief for SLC.....3 straight clean 1 inning appearances....too small a sample size I guess but maybe he shows enough to stay on the 40 man over the winter and compete for a bullpen job in the spring....

Over past 9.2 innings (6.2 with Halos, 3 with SLC):
0 runs, 4 hits, 8/2 Ks/BBs

Makes you wonder if they found something and are fixing it.   He’s always had good movement, just didn’t know where the movement was taking the pitch.

Bring on AA post-season!

But the vast majority of success stories are the guys that sign for chump change and let's be honest, the reason is simple -- there are a ton more of them than the bonus baby ones...

and the fact that these guys are almost middle school aged when a commitment is required.  Where the physical component for these guys is far from set in stone.

I don't keep up with all this. But whatever happened to Canning?

Nothing, really.  Another lost year.  He had a "setback" in his rehab from back issues in May and they officially announced that he wouldn't pitch this year in early August.

curious why you chose to say 'another'?

I guess he did pitch a little under half a year last year, but I'm sort of lumping that one in with this year.

[Angel Oracle]

Canning only has 64.2 innings pitched the past two seasons.

Ohtani only pitched 80 innings from 2017-2020.   He was able to then likely pitch close to 300 innings from 2021-2022.

Canning has one more chance, just like CRod does.   Neither can afford another lost season!

Good question.  He has a lot of potential, but yeah - just never knew where the pitch was going.  Minasian is likely very familiar with him, given he was in the Braves' system.  I'm not expecting much, but again, this is where hopefully we can see the player developmental team earn their money and help make him a decent reliever at least.

I would think it's best to just assume that anything we can from them moving forward is "gravy," so to speak.  I wouldn't count on them to produce too much.  I'm more hopeful that CRod can develop into a solid reliever, though, than I am that Canning will become a good SP for us.

I think we are okay, in terms of our SP.  We have a solid quarter in the majors, and have a few pretty good looking prospects who aren't far away.  I'd expect us to sign one SP, too.

Canning and C Rod are wildcards. If one or both of them come back strong in 2023, what looks like a pretty solid pitching staff could jump a notch to legitimately good. Add in all those AA arms, and the Angels potentially have some really nice depth in the rotation, which will in turn impact the bullpen.

This was a fun one. 

More to come as I got Kyren Paris, Sam Bachman, Ky Bush, Chase Silseth, Preston Palmeiro (Rafael Palmeiro's son) and Kolton Ingram who led the league in holds and games appeared in as a reliever.

Who's watching tonight??

 

[Chuck]

Neto lead off the game with a double only for the next pitch of the game get drilled over the RF fence by Preston Palmeiro. Logan O’Hoppe then got an infield single to follow. 

2-0 Trash Pandas. 
 

BTW the game tonight is free on MILB.tv. I’m watching on my big screen via the Amazon Silk browser.

Interestingly he wasn't even totally on his game tonight.  His FB command was pretty rough.  He was having issues locating the slider.  The change piece was filthy though.  Yet still managed to gut out 5 innings without giving up a run and whiffing 7.  It was great to see him pitch his way through this against a very very good offensive lineup for the cubs.

Good read on Zach Neto. 
 

Also a quick blurb about him from Baseball America:

Quote

Zach Neto, SS, Angels: The Angels' first-round pick has been dynamic since turning pro. The Campbell alum zoomed quickly to Double-A and finished his year with an .857 OPS between High-A Tri-City and Double-A Rocket City, where he's currently fighting for a Southern League championship. In the first game of the Trash Pandas' division series, Neto went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles as well as two RBIs and two runs

My sister, BIL and nephew are going to the game tonight.
