“Trying out a new grip”… wtf is he just out here trying bullshit?🤣

  1. I’m of two minds here:

    1. Writing is on the wall so why not try new things?

    2. You just had a great start, what the fuck are you doing tweaking things?

  2. We are all but mathematically out of it and he’s on the team next year. I say fuck it, let him try something out that could carry over to next year in a positive way. This is basically early spring training especially once September call ups start.

  3. Got to try it in a game at some point, might as well do it when the games don’t matter.

  4. Well, when your team is in fourth place, I guess it doesn’t really matter at this point, but it’s still a weird decision nonetheless

  5. Wouldn’t you? This team is garbage. Extended spring. Try shit, get noticed, see if it works

  6. When I tell you he was absolutely atrocious today. Rangers rolled out a minor league line up. And Kikuchi has absolutely nothing. Fastball velocity was down changeup was flat and his breaking pitches didn’t even spin 😭 worst start I’ve ever seen

  7. “It was a pretty ugly game”

    Yeah no fucking shit, some of us willingly watch this shit on a near-daily.

  8. This happens way more often than you think. There was a story about some pitcher who asked Skubal for his changeup grip and then basically told his catcher an hour before the game “Hey, I’m gonna add a changeup. I haven’t really thrown it before so we’ll see what it does.”

  9. Some of y’all must not realize that we are statistically out of the playoffs lmfao… If y’all are still watching with the hope of us getting there, I’m sorry to break it to ya but it’s not happening.

    I’d rather us try new things to prepare for next year than anything…
