Neto and the Kids Win!

It was a great night for the Angels youth movement. Zach Neto had a single, double, home run, and stolen base by the 4th inning and Jose Soriano was cruising through the Braves lineup. The early good start was enough for the Angels to walk away with a win and a .500 record.

Jo Adell extended his hitting streak to 14 games and plated Neto in the top of the first inning.

Nolan Schanuel pushed the lead to 3-0 with his 8th home run of the year.

Then Zach Neto went yard.

Neto needed a triple for the cycle but it was Taylor Ward hitting a triple in the top of the 6th that pushed the Angels lead to 5-0. Mike Trout scored from first on the play, the second time we’ve seem him hustle hard on the base paths this week. Hopefully that is a good sign.

A youth driven win and a .500 record as we head to the 4th of July. Up next, three games in Toronto.

Morally I could never put money on the Halos to lose but we are now .500 again so we know exactly what happens tomorrow.

…..Aaaannd, he is getting on base. If it is not a hit it is a walk, which is just like a single in my book. If not better.

Yeah. Probably overreacting but he isn’t an elite guy anymore. Closer to average than MVP. Just a bummer that his best days are behind him.

Mike “Chubby” Trout makes Albert look better when he was at age 33. Holy crap.

Every post game has to have discussions about Trout being β€œdone”. It is getting old.

Albert Pujols gave us a preview of what to expect with Trout, annually: low 0.200 BA, 20-25 HR, 50-75 RBI (assuming he’s plays a full season).

Biggest difference is that Pujols could be counted on to drive nearly 90-100 runs annually.

In 11 years with the Cardinals (2001-2011), Pujols had 0.326 BA (not counting his final season of 2022, right before he retired).
With the Angels, his BA was so low that he lowered his overall BA to 0.296

It’s incredibly difficult to lose 30 points on your BA, when you’ve had 6312 at-bats with the Cardinals, before coming to the Angels.

So, Trout’s BA could possibly go below 0.280 when he retires. He’s currently at 0.296

Neto was taken in the same draft as Roman Anthony and has 306 games played to his 22. Angels big brain

Neto was an awesome pick and one I fully approved of, but this is apples and oranges.

Anthony was an 18 yo high schooler, selected in the compensation round after the second round – Boston’s third straight prep selection in a row. All of them are doing well, especially given their ages. Anthony was a phenomenally great pick, frankly, at #79 – exactly where the Angels pick in the third round this year.

Of course a 21 yo is going to have played fewer MLB games than a 24 yo. Neto was playing at Campbell at Anthony’s age.

Anthony has high expectations with high ceiling. Nothing against Neto but I’m buying stock in the Roman Empire.
