re: Skenes has rebounded nicely since that opening day disaster.

Rain delay caused his day to be cut short, but he pitched 4 innings of shutout ball, giving up just 3 hits while striking out 5.

In his last four starts, he’s been dominant:

21 1/3 innings, only 9 hits and 3 earned runs allowed, with 5 walks and 22 strikeouts

That’s an ERA of 1.27 and a WHIP of 0.656

Current season ERA is now 3.27, down from the 67.50 ERA he had after game 1

Skenes went 7 innings tonight, gave up a single hit, zero runs, zero walks, and struck out 7

Last 5 starts:


28 1/3 innings, only 10 hits and 3 earned runs allowed, with 5 walks and 29 strikeouts

That’s an ERA of 0.95 and a WHIP of 0.529

Current season ERA is now 2.48, down from the 67.50 ERA he had after game 1

Just nasty

Kinda like the Cubs did with Sosa in the late 90s-early 2000s.

Sosa was an a**hole. He told the out field coach to f*ck off.

" they pay me to hit HR's, not field", he told him.

Not a team player, just a self absorbed jerk.

He did HBP a batter, but that isn't scored a bb

We need to discuss Skenes decline. 52 years from now he'll be at an ERA of 2.50. Worrisome trend.
