After Varsho loses the ball in the sun that would have ended the inning then the next batter hits homerun

 

[RoadWarrior]

Not much luck in the first inning.

they key here is that Kikuchi holds it together mentally. last year he would crumble in these situations.

 

[phillipmike]

Really sucks for Kikuchi. He did so well that inning ip until Renfroe.

He made one mistake and that shouldn’t have happened to begin with if the ball gets caught.. His control has been much better this year.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Varsho was horrible against left handed pitchers last year, to the point he was being scratched when a lefty was a starter, he better figure something out for this year.

 

[canucksfan]

Detmers looks solid

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Merrifield has brought very little to table since being acquired last year.

 

[Anthrax442]

I'm in Florida and I can't play the game on neither Sportsnet ap or Ignite ap

 

[Puckstuff]

How does Varsho not get an error on that play? Kikuchi being charged with 3 earned runs is criminal lol

Berrios and kikuchi again 2 worst in the league.

This team is donzo. Can’t win with 2 auto losses every 5 games.

Kikuchi held his own against Ohtani and Trout. It should have been an inning ending out pop out, 0 runs against. That error changes the whole game so far.

Why you guys continue to take shaner seriously after this many years is truly baffling.

Ignore function is helpful

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Pitch clock seems to be helping Kikuchi. No time to overthink things. Just get into a rhythm, trust your stuff, and throw strikes

Other than a potato changeup up in the zone to Renfroe, he has been solid

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Belt or Jansen who's worse at hitting?

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

At least Chapman can catch flyballs in the sun

 

[canucksfan]

Didn’t think that was going out

 

[trellaine201]

Meatball

 

[habamillions]

Brutal. 5 earned runs. Really should only be 2. But detmers came to pitch so wouldnt matter anyways

 

[shaner8989]

What a gem by Kikuchi. What did you all expect.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

That slider wasn't even on the plate lol. A hanger, yes, but Ohtani is too good.

 

[trellaine201]

Our pitching has been brutal for the most part this year.

 

[RoadWarrior]

Kikuchi isn’t a starting pitcher. He throws 2 pitches. Big league hitters will just sit on his fastball and tee off.

bullpen the guy.

Our pitching has been brutal for the most part this year.

that’s what happens when you have only 3 legit major league starters in your rotation.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Surprised no one is even warming up yet.... Kikuchi is almost at 70 pitches, mistake or not in the 1st, still should be managing to win the game....

 

[dredeye]

Why is this starting to feel like this is going to a repeat of last year. Just not as good as expected I know it’s early but it just feels the same
