Pirates kept him from winning it. Kid from San Diego will win and actually deserves it.

He could easily have 15 wins if the Pirates bullpen would not have shite the bed on big leads after he left the game.

Any other year, sure. He has had a really good year.
But Skenes leads the entire MLB in ERA and K/9, and is 4th in WHIP and WAR.
The fact that he’s 4th in WAR starting 8 games less than other starters is very impressive.

Had Skenes pitched about 4 more games this year, he’d be in a tight race for the Cy Young.

It’s not like 11-3 sucks

Pretty damn good, most of us know there have been fantastic pitchers with shitty teams that had average W/L ratio.
That ERA and innings pitched since in the league is HOF stuff.

WAR

That is a useless stat.
Ok. Since the downvotes. I’ll challenge you to go read. You’ll laugh if you’re a stats guy. how many versions are there and which one is right? Fan graphs? What “level” of replacement player? Lololololol. It is a fricking joke when you’re facing a pitcher like Skenes that would own Aaron Judge’s arse because he can’t hit a curve and that change he has learned would frick his goofy arse up. But but but GOAT blah the frick blah.

What was so impressive was none of the Ks were on the “sprinkler”. All were change ups except on sweeper. That dude through a change to the up and away quadrant of a right handed hitter. When you see a pitcher hitting that spot with any off-speed pitch, you know he has it going on

The only thing that can derail Paul other than an injury which you can’t predict is Livvy Dunne.

Good luck to him with her that sister and mom. Ole Paul gonna have some drama to deal with.

Agreed, he's been excellent, but his team has let him down a few times where he could, and frankly should have, racked another W.

Let me guess, you watched the documentary on Amazon and now are an expert on the Dunn family? Nevermind the fact that there was zero drama in that documentary from them. Livy actually came off as an even more down to earth person, and more likeable than before. With all the fame and money she accepted her role on a national championship winning gymnastics team. She's taking advantage of what's given to her, and only puts herself in the spot light as a job. You are a damn moron.

Yep, if he were 14-3 like he should be, he would be getting the ROY and Cy Young likely
