600th career RBI for the guy who doesn't care.

Well this pitcher sucks.  Will win 2/3 against royals.  Win 4 of next 6.  Easy money.

I have not experienced the dulcet tones of Daron Sutton for a week. I have read a lot about him here, however. A jarring development tonight.

[jsnpritchett]

Hope they take advantage of Kowar's nerves this inning.  Don't let him get settled.

[thebloob]

He either throws terrible balls or down the middle.  Bad recipe. Are the minors that bad that this guy tears it up down there. 

[UndertheHalo]

If the angels can’t put a bunch of runs on this right now just pack it in a go home for the night.  He’s a mess.

It's his debut.  Rookie pitchers are oftentimes jittery.

He played for the Florida Gators.

I like Kowar so far.

This Kowar guy stinks

You said that like it was a bad thing.

If he’s too nervous to be able to pitch then he doesn’t belong.  I love hyped rookie pitchers that can’t get out of their first inning.  Welcome to the show.  That stasis pitch was a slow meatbal down the middle.  

[jsnpritchett]

This is truly becoming an evergreen tweet.  Appropriate again tonight.

Tough debut for the kid. Baptism by fire.

How did you control your emotions in your first game in the show?

That picture of Bernard will have many moons of life on the interwebs.

Closing in on 40 pitches this inning.

Holy shit, I thought this was a joke.  But, nope, it's him.  I didn't even realize he was still pitching.

[Justin]

I have enjoyed watching an opposing pitcher throw 39 pitches in the first inning. A nice change. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

I need Bundy to throw a compete game today.

[thebloob]

I did was I was trained to do.  My first night in my show was saving a guys life while he was trying to die while having a heart attack.  Focus and do your job.  This guy sucks.  Gonna be a 2-3 year flame out.  Or go all Rick ankiel.

Minasian probably figuring out some way to trade for him

Bundy actually getting some run support.
