If Gilbert is getting pitches that like, who knows what might happen.

Joe West has never umpired a perfect game. He's chomping at the bit.

A horse who "chomps" at the bit will only break his teeth. The horse who "champs" at the bit is straining to get moving faster.

Somebody give Joe West the delta variant.

He’s demonstrating that he is in fact a man.

Smart pitching.  Just as they start swinging early, throw sliders first pitch.  Uncharacteristic Fletch

[failos]

I have a feeling Fletch isn’t going to get a hit today. I blame Marsh

Thank you for that diction lesson.

Not my strong suit.

OHTANI!!!! DID NOT STRIKE OUT.

A walk is progress.

A Suzuki stab behind the plate to start the at-bat for Walsh

If we don't get to him this inning we will eventually this game

Walsh missed two straight meatballs.  Unacceptable 

[fan_since79]

Walsh is totally overmatched here.

He's been ass ever since the home run der- oh wait

[jsnpritchett]

Since May 18 until the beginning of this game, Walsh was hitting .234/.278/.528, with 12 BB and 66 K.  Still hitting HR and 2B, but not getting on base otherwise.  And now 0 for 2 today.  Really need him and Ohtani to kick things back into gear until Trout and Rendon are back if the Angels have any chance to make the playoffs.

The other night I noticed that one of the cool things about Ohtani is a noticeable uptick in cute Asian chicks turning up at the big A.  Didn’t mention because I was too pissed about Arte cheating me out of my bobble head.  Worth mentioning now I guess.

Shocker

[full circle]

Have a game Walshy.  

[eligrba4ever]

Awww. Jared.

Ohtani and Walsh showed up big time this series.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Walsh… that was pathetic

[HeavenlyHalos]

Walsh and Ohtani both cooling off. We desperately need trout back to have a chance at a playoff run

[rageous]

Walsh having a hell of a game so far.

[full circle]

Both of them looking off speed constantly and getting caught way in between.  Gotta stay on the fastball and adjust to a hanger.  

[fan_since79]

3-0 now.

Ugh...

The Mariners announcer calls the rockpile "Bedrock."
