 I hate to say this but I think he is injured.  No bite on offspeed pitches. No velocity. Hope I'm wrong. 

He did rehab from a torn UCL so who knows how good his arm is. Stuff looks awful though that's for sure.

[Chuck]

Geeeez .Had Joyce 0-2 and walked him.

JC needs to get the boot before this game becomes another blowout like his last start. 

[Jason]

Put a fork in him

[Ohtani&Trout]

Having starting pitching depth doesn't mean much when it sucks. Eppler should have signed a starter. 

[bloodbrother]

Let this be the last time this season we have to see Bridwell and Ramirez pitching back to back in a series. Brutal

[Waybackman]

Too bad we wore out the bullpen yesterday.

[Ohtaniland]

It’s not a game until we’re down by 6 runs. That’s when we step on their nutts. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

He isn't the same pitcher he was last year. He is sucking badly.

[Chuck]

The good news is that Heaney and Tropeano both looked great last night and Barria starts tonight, so there's plenty of options to replace JC Ramirez. 

[bloodbrother]

92 MPH fastballs and loopy offspeed pitches. When's the HR happening?

I wondered why Tropeano was sent down but it looks like he’ll be back sooner rather than later....

[Chuck]

See the trend here. Ohtani starts and we win, all six of the contests he's either DH'd or started off the mound.

The two games he sat we lost.  

[Waybackman]

Bring the new guy in. Send Ramirez to outer space.

[southpaw]

Wow. Could have been a lot worse but would not surprise me that he goes on the DL. He doesn't look right.

He’s going to have to take some days off if he’s going to pitch.....

[Amazing Larry]

The Halos are going to need a lot of offense tonight. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Astros and SD are tied 0-0 after 8.

[JarsOfClay]

Shoemaker is really letting the team down, always injured.  Im sick of his ass.

He’s not even pitching tonight.  

[Stradling]

Ramirez is hurt, it is obvious.  You don’t go from throwing 97 to throwing 92 unless something is wrong.  Calling him trash is shitty.  

[Waybackman]

Bring in anybody except Bedrosian.

Well it is the third inning and we are already in the bullpen, Bedrosian will be pitching tonight.

I was speaking in terms of the last couple years.  He's really left a huge hole in the rotation and we have been forced to see Nolasco, Chavez, Bridwell, take his spot.

Angels really need him, but he's never healthy.

[bloodbrother]

Smart to get Ramirez out. Didn't look right at all. Man, Ohtani needs to really pick up the slack tomorrow because this bullpen is getting overworked this series
