27 pitches in the first inning?

What is going on with the starting pitching?

Full count walks are bad

Maybe but so far he hasn’t played to a level this season that is worth $50 mill a year 

No baseball player is worth $50 mil a year in my opinion, yet here we are!

WTF was that pitch selection? You are facing a hitter with an under 500 OPS, just throw the heater in the zone. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Nice defense, Walsh!

Urshela!!

[HeavenlyHalos]

Nice to be the team that takes advantage of the two out walk.

Not a lot of power but every good team needs a guy like him.

Why is ohtani nibbling? Just pump the zone against these dorks.

Ohtani's error cost at 15 least pitches

Honestly, it's an F'n slider FFS. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Second defensive mistake from Ohtani

What happened to the splitter? I haven’t seen him throw it much

Halos offense needs to get going.  Putting waaaaay to much pressure on the pitchers over the last 13 or so innings.

I think he barely throws it because it causes blisters.

Really sorry AB’s after the lead off runner gets on….

[HeavenlyHalos]

Really wasted that leadoff gift. Wish we had Thaiss' bat in there.

[T.G.]

Ohtani's parents are at the game.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Needed that double play. Please get out of the inning now
