Skenes obviously is a highly rated prospect, probably one of the top ten pitching prospects in all of baseball, and he sure looked like it yesterday. The pirates pitching staff really isn't all that great, but skenes is someone that is a big building block for the future, much like when justin verlander came up with the tigers in 2005, and then was a fixture in their rotation for close to 12 years.
Im from the uk and pittsburgh is my city and team in all sports since the 70s . And im loving watching skenes. What a talent. Heres to a long career...
I’m a Mariners fan but boy do I get excited watching the highlights of a pirates game where Skenes is pitching. 22 years old with what can be an incredible career ahead of him. So fun to watch.
Skenes hasn’t even had to throw his hook which is huge. He’s got a nasty breaking ball but they seem to be happy with him just throwing the fastball and split for now
If Skenes is on it, he seems damn close to unhittable. I hope his arm holds up and I hope he has plenty of rest days when the Pirates have to play the Guardians.
Glad to see Tellez get a hit, and also score. Hater's gonna hate on him, but this is coming from people who could never make a single A roster. Armchair quarterbacks, and their opinion means nothing. Chapman has hurt the team more than Tellez by a mile.
Always warm and sunny at Comerica Park so umpires can wear short sleeve black shirts. Never see umpires wear jackets ever again at Comerica Park. I guarantee it
