On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts after the Pirates wasted yet another Paul Skenes gem Tuesday night against the St. Louis Cardinals, dropping a 2-1 decision after the MLB rookie of the year candidate allowed just two runs across eight-plus innings. Will GM Ben Cherington finally act to get Skenes some offensive help ahead of the MLB trade deadline? Are Ke'Bryan Hayes, Henry Davis and Jack Suwinski any closer to showing some internal improvement? Can Martin Perez pitch well in the rubber match against the Cardinals on Wednesday? And when will injured players including Bailey Falter and Jared Jones be able to return to reinforce the rotation?
Jason tackles those questions as well as Kevin Hayes' introduction with the Penguins in Cranberry.
