Paul Skenes Just Bullied the Rockies
About this episode
Paul Skenes delivered another dominant start for the Pittsburgh Pirates, striking out 10 Colorado Rockies hitters over eight scoreless innings while allowing just two hits. Alex Stumpf breaks down why this may have been Skenes’ best start of the season, how his pitch mix helped him overwhelm Colorado, and why Don Kelly made the right call by not sending him back out for the ninth inning.
The discussion also gets into Skenes’ pursuit of his first true nine-inning complete game, how the Pirates should manage his workload, and why keeping him fresh for the full season matters more than chasing an individual stat in mid-May.
