Trout hitting off machine today, Canning ready to come back

No velocity? They could bring in Jered Weaver to pitch to Trout. 

[Erstad Grit]

I want silseth to stay in rotation

[Slegnaac]

7 man rotation, with Giolito on a 5 day schedule and Ohtani on a 6 day schedule, should confuse the opposition. 

[Angel Oracle]

Detmers out of rotation, Canning in rotation 

Trout hopefully back this coming Friday for the start of the homestand?   That will have been 6+ weeks out.

Detmers seems to pitch well for an inning or two before he gets lit up….maybe work him out of the bullpen for a bit and, if he does well, decide in the off-season where he fits in for next year?….

Could send Detmers down to AAA to work on things similar to last year. Rosters expand on the 1st so that could give him 3 starts in AAA and then the team can reevaluate his role for that final month.

Reminds me a lot of Heaney. Heaney could be cruising for 3 or 4 innings and look completely unhittable and then one bad walk or home run and suddenly the wheels come off. Have to wonder how much of it is mental

I don't think Detmers would go to the next level in the pen. A demotion would make more sense. I guess that or going to the Dodgers.

You keep bringing up Syndergaard. So, the Dodgers' pitching coaches suck because they can't fix 100% of the veteran pitchers they bring in? Let's compare the Dodgers, Astros, Braves and Rays consistency in getting the most out of their players over the last 5 years compared to every other team in baseball. It's not just luck, and with the Astros, it's no longer because they're cheating. They have better organizational scouting, player development and coaching. I hate the Dodgers and the Astros, but I have to give them credit where credit is due.

I don’t keep bringing him up.  I brought him up today.  Others have brought him up.  I didn’t read the rest of your post.

Detmers needs to figure out how to develop consistency at this level so taking him out of the rotation is not going to help him. Keep him in. 

[m0nkey]

This team needs it. If all goes well, they’ll finish 4 games out of the last wild card!

[Taylor]

Ready for Trout to come back just after the team has been eliminated.

[Slegnaac]

August 18th at home against Tampa Bay would be Detmers next scheduled start. 

They could bring in Canning.

They could skip Detmers and go with Anderson on 5 days rest.

They could start Detmers again.

It will be interesting to see how they manage the rotation.  Will they still try to pitch Giolito on 4 days rest?

If Canning is healthy, they can't ignore the option of letting Detmers take a break in AAA. I think going to the bullpen is out of the question. He needs innings to try to figure things out.

Here's another question: would you say your average pitcher is better or worse than the machine?

Agreed but I think Detmers has more future upside than Canning. Mostly due to injury history

The machine never is out of service for 14 months for elbow surgery.

Trouts injuries the past  couple/3 years have been total freaky. And resulted in abnormally long absences
