All of those years of year-round travel ball are catching up with him.

It’s his fastball. Period. He hit a hundo regularly before, now he’s topping out 96? Tired arm or injury

Pussy. He’s to worried about his piece and what she’s doing online.

He’s not focused.

For perspective tom Brady had a hot wife and he basically told her to frick off during the football season for 20 years.

Thats how you win titles.

a girl doesn't make your fastball all of the sudden lose 4 to 5 mph

I believe he is injured.

You dont alter mechanics like he says it is unless you have to

It’s inevitable that someone that throws as hard as he does will blow out his elbow. He’s injured and is just gutting through on lower velo because if he took surgery now he’d miss rest of this year and likely all of next

How so? They coddle him. I guess you're one that blames the Bengals front office and coach for burrow too.

For burrow? Yeah, I blame the bengals front office for him Getting destroyed because his OL can’t block. For his defense being abysmal.
You can blame Pitt for skenes’ lack of run support but him getting shelled is his own issue. You can compare the 2 when burrow starts throwing ints & losing games due to his play

There’s a lockout looming. Why not have surgery now expecting that the time missed next season is gonna be canceled anyways?

It's way better to keep your kids off the mound for as long as possible. Let them play SS, keep their arms live. You can teach kids how to pitch whenever, you can't regain velocity if your arm is going to fall off.

Skenes just doesn't look like himself anymore. First batter of the game tonight 4 straight balls. Fast ball at 97 mph. Just doesn't look dominant anymore

Got out of the first with no runs allowed. One four pitch walk and two full counts and pitched out of it

He’s saving his arm for when he gets traded to the Yankees

Lol. When he misses now its not even close. He needs to get ahead of the hitters.

Eta: all this and he has a no hitter going through 2 innings

You can't throw as hard as he throws that much and last. He should just have his Tommy John now and get it over with. Then he should become a closer. Or develop his other pitches.

That kid in Milwaukee will be having his Tommy John by next season.
