2024 MLB Season: Paul Skenes to Debut On Saturday (5.11) Against the Cubs

[Deaconblue]

Aaron Nola and Phillies had a three pitch complete inning. Took 85 seconds.
First batter: first pitch broken bat single
2nd batter: first pitch line out
3rd batter: first pitch grounded into 5-6-3 double play.

That has only been done 202 times in the history of baseball.

The opposite of Skenes, former MLB 2nd baseman David Fletcher throws an unhittable knuckler in AAA:

Skenes started off hot today striking out the first 7 he faced, but he allowed the next two to put the ball in the play. Bum.

10k no hitter through 5, that’s crazy. Most hyped pitcher since Strasburg

 

[Pilchard]

Cubs need Jack Winnay to break up the no-no....

 

[myDeaconmyhand]

He’s done for the day (has to be?) at 11k no hit through 6. 100 pitches.

 

[Pilchard]

Ties for the most strikeouts by any Pirate pitcher at Wrigley. Pirates have been playing games at Wrigley for more than 100 years.

One fair ball left the infield, a harmless fly out.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

How long before Skenes is regarded as the best pitcher in the game today?

 

[Biff Tannen]

How long before Skenes is regarded as the best pitcher in the game today?

Well his performance TODAY is likely to be the best. So I'd say 4:00 PM EDT is how long it took.

John Schriffen is such a complete tool. Fitting play by play guy for the joke of a White Sox organization. What an asshat
