Logan Gilbert is a dawg. Dude through 7 innings of shutout ball last appearance and got on NCAA Football in the clubhouse afterwards

Skenes just hasn’t been the same since the all star break, even though he’s been well above average.

Control hasn’t been there based on what I’ve seen, and people are swinging aggressively early in the count, so trying to mix it up without the control has been a problem.

Apple TV+


I love baseball, but MLB is the fricking worst. I have to buy the MLB package to watch most (but definitely not all) games. Fine, I bought it. But I can't watch the Rangers or Astros b/c I live one state over. So I buy FUBU's overpriced garbage service. Now I need Apple+ to watch Skenes tonight. This is such bullshite. Find one platform, overcharge me for it, and let me watch the fricking games.

Instead, I will go to a pirated stream (no pun intended) to watch the pirates.

As I was saying…

ROY is probably over and I’m pretty sure the Pirates will shut him down. Velo and command just aren’t what they were and that’s troubling.

Pirates need to win this and push the Mariners further behind the Stros

it's pretty bad. While I hate ESPN, I love how that you can watch basically every LSU baseball game just with a TV contract.

It would help if he had run support. From the break ...

Game 1: 2 ER in 8.1 IP 8K
Game 2: 1 ER in 6 IP 6K
Game 3: 2 ER in 5.1 IP
Game 4: 4 ER in 6 IP 8K
Game 5: happening now

With the exception of his last start, he's still pitching very well. No one expected him to keep pitching 7 innings of no-hit ball.

Skenes needed the shutout today vs a bad hitting team. Merrill might be favorite after today

Merrill still has to keep hitting.

leadoff walk leads to a run X% of the time.

Apple TV talking up ROY and CY Young for Skenes. I doubt it happens, even if he continued his pre all-star ways.

He got really hot for a few games last week when Skenes had his worst outing. Skenes has been consistent otherwise. Unless Skenes drops off a lot, Merrill would have to stay hot for a while to take it over and put some distance b/t them. The only other thing that might hurt Skenes is if the Pirates start stretching out his starts b/c of the innings he's pitched this year.
