Skenes gives me hope
Nutting will probably just take it away
Mark Cuban lets go
Musk would make a great pirate, plant a World Series flag on moon 🏴☠️
To bad nutting will get rid of skenes in two years
How cool would it be if you didn’t have so many spoilers.
NOT ONLY did Skenes pitch 6 no hit innings with 11 strikeouts, but the baserunner he allowed on a walk SHOULD have been a strikeout! One of the "balls" caught a piece of the lower strike zone. This dude is a space alien.
He is drinking from the fountain of youth 😂
Going to enjoy seeing Skenes throw a perfect game for the Yanks or Dodgers in 2 years
I wish that PIT announcer would stop screaming. It conveys zero enthusiasm to the listener of the broadcast. In fact, it's irritating.
I just wanna say that I am 34 years old and my city of Pittsburgh has NEVER had a chance to see great basketball. They always sell us short and break our hearts. Bob Nutting is THE WORST OWNER IN MAJOR LEAGUE SPORTS EVER and if he trades Skenes, he should be forced to sell the team and NEVER SHOW HIS HILL-BILLY face in this CITY OF CHAMPIONS ever again.
We deserve to have a team worth supporting and having a team worthy of that beautiful stadium. WE DESERVE IT PITTSBURGH. NEVER DOUBT IT.
The joy with which Paul Skenes plays and takes his place on the mound, makes him extra fun to watch. Love his incentive of donating a $ 100 for every strikeout. Excellent example of a great and humble player on the rise. Let’s bring that family feeling back to Pittsburgh.
GG Pirates. Skenes is filthy
It Looks like Bob Nutting May have a Future Problem on His Hands…If This Kid is as Good as Everyone Projects Him To Be….He, Paul Skenes Will Demand The Largest Contract in the History Of Baseball………Bob, If You are Faced With this Situation, Take the Advice if Michael Keaton and WRITE THE CHECK!
I sure hope we actually keep Skenes and pay him when we need to
Im so happy for this young man!
Hats of to the bats for backing him up!
CRUZ is definitely the next Ozzy Smith!
I will never buy a Skenes jersey because he will never stay with this loser mentality of a baseball organization. I’m done spending any of my Pennie’s on this hack team.
He is special
I haven't seen an arm like this since Randy Johnson.
Joe Block on the radio call was electric.
Maybe my $149 investment in the MLB package wasn’t a bad choice after all. This kid is lights out!
the GAS STATION!!
No entendí porque no dejaron al abridor llevaba juego sin hits ni carreras
A challenge to Pirates and Cubs fans = from a Reds fan .
The Reds are better this year than Philly as we already beat them in the season series .
Will the Cubs and the Bucs be better than the old Philly geysers and win the season series against them this year ?
I know the Phillies are the Pirates' biggest rival , and i hope Skenes pitches a no hitter at them and strikes out that Jagoff Bryce Harper 4 times !
Wow, what a start feom Paul Skenes! No hits, 11 strikeouts, wow
