Skenes

[Aces High]

Skenes pulled after 5 innings and only 78 pitches. Twins led 2-1.
He had 6 Ks, his line was 6.5. Hmmm???

They really baby him. He won't be pitching for the Pirates long term anyway so at least go 100 pitches.

They both lost last night though. Off to the All-Star game

Skenes on a decent team would be 5-1 or 6-0. The Pirates are an embarrassment to MLB, and parity has hit MLB like the NBA. Skenes must demand a trade.

Agree with others. Skenes needs to get out of Pittsburgh as fast as he can. His talent is being wasted there.

Maybe he should shave his moustache

he almost didn’t last that long!

he did up 2 runs, granted that was on a HR… and he had 2 on base… and he usually just goes 5, last several games.. but also he has All Star coming up, need keep real fresh for that..

… oh, and the bet to take with these Aces, when at home, is their under allowed first 3 innings. it usually 1.5 runs.. Skenes is like 16-4 on this bet this season

What’s more important, pitching for your team, or the all star game?
Just looking at the fact they controlled that bet. Thanks TerryRay for info, respect your prop information.

They don't have to choose to play him more innings or play the All Star Game. They need to keep him healthy to get max value when they trade him.
