They better stop gripping so hard and throwing so hard.

Man I have a feeling we are going to see dudes going down like flies. Seems like everyone used something and now they can’t use nada. Thoughts??
Pitchers use this across the board above h.s. level. Been happening for decades in one foreign substance or another.
Oh for sure that’s why I think it’s mad they did it in the middle of the season. Going to be a lot more guys like Glasnow I’m afraid

They should add it as a ritual you can equip on your ballplayer
I think it’s called axel grease bud

Don't they have one. There's a little black tub of something, I've never read what it is, but I've always assumed it was tack.

That’s axel grease. And I guess you could image it to be tack. Maybe, idk

I just want to make a commercial with Oscar the Grouch wearing an Astros uniform coming out of his trash can and be like. “ Whew the heat should be off us for a while”

I almost commented saying "I'm just glad it's not the Astros" lol

I think Trevor Bauer is cool about other players celebrating.

Yes he is.
I also wish he was my dad

Next inning's conquest map should be in the shape of a Spider (Tack).

It shouldn't be a ritual, it should be a glove. It can be a Gerrit Cole or Bauer glove, kinda like the Nike Trouts cleats. +99 control, +99 break, and K/9 should be +99 too.

Glasnow is blaming his injury on trying to get used to not using it before the crackdown.

There is no denying that MLB should have been enforcing the "no foreign substances" rule more closely, and that they should have been looking into this years ago when the rumblings first emerged about new variants to add RPM. That being said, I don't get the pitcher reactions. They've been getting away with murder for years, and now they're whining because if they get caught they get a 10 day paid vacation? Most of them have already made their millions by cheating the system, and you know sure as [censored] they won't be giving any back as their performance comes back down to Earth.
Maybe this is a hot take, but suck it up buttercup. I don't think it should matter that the penalty has changed during the season. They weren't supposed to be doing it to begin with, and now there are consequences. They're super weak consequences and barely a slap on the wrist, which makes the complaints about it even worse. Maybe if pitchers didn't take it too far in the quest greater RPM they could still use something for a better grip while MLB looked the other way. They have no one to blame but themselves.

You mean like changing the baseballs like they did right before the postseason 2 years ago? This league is clueless.

Absolutely nothing changed during the season, this has been the rule and penalty long standing.
MLB issued official notice to all teams this off season they were aware of rampant cheating and told teams they were stepping up enforcement including data analysis of spin rates to find cheaters. https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/03/24/mlb-cracks-down-foreign-substances-baseballs-help-hitters
Players brazenly ignored the league and their warning now they are crying. There is absolutely nothing new about this and the MLB have explicit warning to stop this off season.

Also, in the next conquest map, you just get stuck in one spot and can't move.

Sell your Gerrit Cole's. He's gonna be average at best from now on.

I am actually worried about injuries. DeGrom went out in the 3rd with elbow soreness much like Glasnow complained about. I think guys are having to grip the ball a little more, causing tension in the elbow.
