re: Pittsburgh Pirates and Paul Skenes

I don’t watch baseball as much as when I was younger. I follow my teams but it is not like it used to be where I know about every team anymore.

The Pirates used to have a history of being triple A plus. They drafted well and had good young talent but when it came time to pay they didn’t. You would then look around the league at former Pirates players and say man if they kept that team together they would be competing. I’m not sure if that type of culture has really changed in Pittsburgh.

Edit: fyi though I’m with you on struggling teams. I’m a Cubs fan. I follow the Astros too now but the Cubs are my team. I remember how cool it was seeing the Cajun names in Chicago. Fontenot and Theriot.
