Paul Skenes is no longer just the Pirates’ ace. He might be the best pitcher alive. Paul Skenes delivered another ridiculous performance for the Pittsburgh Pirates, going eight dominant innings and continuing to build a real case as the best pitcher in baseball. DiNardo and Doug break down Skenes’ latest masterpiece, his absurd season numbers, why his efficiency matters, and how his presence changes the entire outlook for the Pirates. They also discuss a strong day across the Pirates organization, including Jared Jones throwing four shutout innings, Justin Garcia’s monster game, Murf Gray staying hot, Oneil Cruz continuing to produce, and why this team suddenly feels a whole lot more legit.
