  1. So did prime Griffey jr, Pujols, bonds, a-rod, sosa, miggy, and many many more not bat 3rd? Lol if u think I’m wrong. U think any ball player outside of the ones who join the media say to each other or even think about the kinda stuff you analytics nerds say? Well they don’t. They care about their avg, hrs, rbis, stolen bases, strikeouts things that have for a long time been the point of conversation in baseball before u armchair *advanced stat geeks came around.

    I guess you don't  know Canning's history of shoulder problems that dropped his value in the draft allowing the Angels to pick him up in the 2 round of the amateur draft.

    He did not pitch for the Angels that season, instead stayed in Arizona working on rehabbing the shoulder. Last season he was on limited innings and pitch counts. The jump from starting in A+ ball last year to the Majors this season is quite an accomplishment.

    But it isn't reason to over extend a kid that has the longest day of his life. If you think for one minute he slept at all last night or was able to eat before the game, you are clueless. He had media events, getting to know his coaching staff, working with a new catcher, fielding drills and long toss.

    He was living off adrenalin and when that faded so did his fastball  and location. Add to it he was running through the Jays lineup a third time and they were tagging everything in the zone, he was done. No need to leave him in to lose the lead and potentially take a loss.

    In short, you are so very wrong.

     

    He didn’t look like any of those things you describe. He looked rested slept in his own bed, probably had a home cooked meal from mommy and had the family watching to back him up. And a lot of what ur saying is conjecture. I didn’t know u talked to him before/after the game and he clued u in on how he’s feeling. U sound hung up on proving me wrong but u won’t and can’t. And if he is so limited b/c of his shoulder why let him pitch more then 40 pitches? Why is 80 the magic number? U r splitting hairs but don’t realize it. Try again.
