What is the problem with the starters and needing 20+ pitches in the first inning?

It's like they're afraid to throw strikes...walking batters absolutely kills us.

Great effort, Sandy. Nice n

[rafibomb]

holy shit Sandoval is broken

Haha

I saw nando and fs79 had already posted in the GDT and knew we were in trouble.

I mean who didn’t see this performance coming ? Getaway game , late start, sandy doing his best cj wilson impersonation. 
 

recipe for disaster 

[T.G.]

Well, the boys have their work cut out for them today.

[Angel Oracle]

Why are Halos starters so afraid to throw strikes?

Uhh, Matt Wise????

This team is looking very mediocre.

Who would have thought the bullpen was the strength over the past several days?

Remember all those articles about the Angels having a real sense of urgency this season? 

Fool me 8 times, shame on me.

Nevin better start giving his guys some proper motivation.  Angels not prepared to play ball game in and game out.  

[ScottM]

Matt Wise has been "interim" pitching coach for 26 months

[CaliAngel]

And Cortes threw 12 pitches for a 4 minute first inning against the Halos lol.

[REDneck]

I should know better than planning a day around these clowns.

Oh well at least the beer is cold and the weather is awesome.

[Don3347]

I thought this was our best starter?

[CaliAngel]

On cue Rendon with a k.

We're a .500 team at best and Shohei will move on to a team that is positioned to win. 

It is what it is.

They'll probably go something like 5-2 or 6-1 in the next two series against the Royals and A's, and people will start thinking they're back on track.

Time for a new pitching coach?

This shit never seems to work for us. A pitching coach isn't going to teach Sandy to throw strikes...

Except Cortes is no ordinary lefty, and Sandoval reverted to pre-2021 Sandoval.

You can't be serious.

Cortes carving us up.  He has an idea of what he wants to do.  Has a game plan.  Angel pitchers always look like they’re figuring it out as they go along.

[eligrba4ever]

Brandon Marsh .737 slugging. Ranks No. 3 at the moment.
