In some capacity, whether it be starting and giving us 3-5 innings, or pitching a single inning and getting us out of a jam or closing out the game.

My bet would be closing out if we have the lead after 6

He can close out either Sunday or Monday if you have the lead late.

He's the closest thing I've seen to Nolan Ryan.


He's just a true horse.

He throws from the legs like Ryan, and because of that, throwing a lot of pitches doesn’t seem to wear on him.

We’ll win the series 2-0. Won’t need him hopefully.

He’s the Team Madison Bumgarner.

I would hate to be the batters facing Skenes if he was to only come in to close the ninth with a small lead. That man would hit 105+ knowing he is just throwing the one inning and refusing to let anyone take away his championship.

Exactly he's got tree trunk legs.

And he's technically extremely sound in his delivery like Ryan, limiting stress on his shoulder.

Nolan once threw 235 pitches in a major league game. True story.

You may be witnessing exactly that Monday night. Close out the last 3 or 4 innings.
