They haven’t found their rhythm yet. I don’t want to bang on the drum to fire their manager but if they keep playing like this, their season will end up in the garage can.Astros are 7-18....
All of this talk of kids pitching is distracting from the fact that the PITTSBURGH PIRATES have the best record / run differential in Major League Baseball.
Raise the Jolly Roger!
He doesn't need the four or five more minor league games he would get in the rest of May to show he is ready for "the show."Surprised the Bucs are bringing him up now, before the Super 2 date or whatever it’s called. But his AAA numbers are absurd. Absolutely no reason to wait.
I'm sure this current Cubs lineup will make him look like a future Cy winner.Surprised the Bucs are bringing him up now, before the Super 2 date or whatever it’s called. But his AAA numbers are absurd. Absolutely no reason to wait.

Skeens will not accrue a full year of service time for this season (unless his finishes top 2 in ROY voting).He doesn't need the four or five more minor league games he would get in the rest of May to show he is ready for "the show."
However, it is surprising the Pirates are essentially giving up a season of starts in the future for around 5 starts this year. Pirates are a small market team and best guess is they lose Skenes when he hits free agency. Why push that ahead a year?
what a sad calculation being made for these guysAt this point pitchers with ridiculous velo have such a short shelf-life that you need to get them to the majors as soon as possible because:
- Why waste any of Skenes starts in the minors
- If he does need Tommy John, it's better that happens as early as possible
Allow me to introduce you to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Where expectations have gone to die for 45 years.He’s also really, really good and just looks ready, so why not?
