I would hazard a guess that it has something to do with him being one of the worst pitchers in baseball this year such that he has no business pitching a tie game in a playoff race.
But that has nothing to do with how he actually pitched that inning. Maybe he shouldn’t be in the game, but he didn’t pitch poorly that inning.
My post had nothing to do with what he did in the inning. It had to do with him showing up in a game he has no business being in.

Sign behind the plate says that Jesus forgave errors. Pitchers hated having him as the official scorer.

Lmao Pirates announcers just looked at Kikuchi's stats and can't believe how bad he's been this season.

On the other hand, he also forgives gopher balls.

That 1-0 strike call to Springer was one of the worst pitch calls in any game all season.

A lot of poor situational hitting here.

Can we pull Kikuchi for Garcia here so that he doesn't face a RHB with the game on the line?

Struggling to score against the Pirates doesn't bode well for our chances against the Orioles.

They should make the park smaller for when we bat.

Should just be trying for solo HRs at this point. Hitting with RISP clearly isn't an option.
