I honestly think he’s mentally struggling. He was one of the most visibly affected by Skaggs passing. He was a mentor to Canning and I think he’s emotionally taking it really hard and it’s effecting his game currently. I would say to bench him till he rights the ship. Remember he’s a young kid still and this is something that’s going to take time to process. He has the talent and the ability to be a dominant pitcher. But right now its difficult to gauge him when his emotions are probably getting the better of him. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually now remember this being brought up after his last outing, which was poor as well. Everybody takes a tragedy like this differently. Can’t be easy for him, as he was adjusting to life in the bigs as it is, and now to add on to that stress with the passing of a close friend and mentor. I hope he can keep his head up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MaeDay 8 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 When is his next scheduled start? Thursday or Friday. ESPN showing Thursday but everything else shows Friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Onroto is showing Thursday, Fantrax is showing Friday. 🤔 Originally slated for Friday, so considering some have Thursday I’m assuming it was updated/changed for a reason. I guess we’ll see tomorrow 🤷🏽♂️ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AHF 149 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Baltimore and Detroit is a juicy 1/2 combo. Anybody jumping back on board after a solid effort vs Seattle? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy_Slippers 4,007 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 If you don't start him tomorrow, there's no point in starting him ROS. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Backdoor Slider 8,339 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 ...And he gets used in the extra inning game, gives up 5 ER, and obviously won’t be starting today now. Yikes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoHablaIngles 539 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I read some rumours of him going tommorow or sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmcampbe11 926 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I'm still holding out hope Canning can turn things around. I just offered Pederson for him to a hopefully frustrated owner coming off last night's outing. He's struggled mightily, but that 13+ swinging strike rate gives me hope!

AHF 149 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I'm off after him getting rocked again last night. Hopefully he can get it back on track but I'm not confident enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HaloFanatic17 437 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) If you’re in a keeper league this would be a good time to take advantage and make an offer to a frustrated owner. Obviously it’s league dependent but I was able to get him for some draft pick compensation. He’s flashing a solid K rate and obviously his performance this season is hard to gauge due to the emotional impact he’s faced in regards to the passing of Skaggs. However, for the long term he’s the projected ace of this team alongside Ohtani. He’s young though, so there’s the expected growing pains but he’s shown promise and last nights results shouldn’t carry much weight due to the circumstances. I don’t believe many starting pitchers would have been successful having to been thrown into an extra inning game at 1am when mentally they’re prepared to start the next day.

Backdoor Slider 8,339 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 This will be v. DET Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ty5592 426 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 6 innings 0 R 4 H 1 BB 7 K. I know Detroit is probably the worst lineup in the league but nice to see him have a good start after that rough stretch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NoHablaIngles 539 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 There's been talk of managing his innings limit recently. Hopefully this is just a phantom DL stint to give him some rest and manage his innings. It sucks that we lose out on a juicy 2-start week though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NoHablaIngles 539 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Not the best news, but doesn't sound overly serious either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dod959 1,019 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Sounds like a phantom injury. The best kind of injury. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
