What a question from @mearshannah_ to David Bednar after tonight's game Bednar: "It's really special. You know, I think every day I just have to pinch myself, it's just so special, and it's been awesome."
Welcome to baseball immortality, Dave Parker.
Paul Skenes this afternoon: 6.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 SO 99 pitches, 62 strikes, 20 whiffs He has a 1.83 ERA this season. NL CY YOUNG. NOW.
Skenes is simply incredible. He has so many ways to get you out it hardly matters if he’s missing one on any given day. Brilliant. #LetsGoBucs
Paul Skenes, Nasty 88mph Changeup. 👌 And walks off the field with a smile...after picking up his 8th K thru 4.
Imagine thinking that someone other than Paul Skenes is the best pitcher on the planet. 💯 #LetsGoBucs
Just Paul Skenes things. I sometimes think he allows a baserunner just to make it interesting for himself
Tommy Pham has a significantly higher OPS than Bryan Reynolds and Spencer Horwitz and is only four points behind Nick Gonzales. 🥴🥴🥴 #LetsGoBucs
18-year-old @Pirates prospect Edward Florentino homers for the third straight game! That's 7 homers in 28 games with the @The_Marauders.
A spectacular view of #Pittsburgh from nearly 3,000 ft over the city!
When Owen Cassie and Spencer Jones are inserted into the Pirates’ lineup:
Those first three sentences in particular are wild. Ben Cherington has been here six years and has mostly avoided risk. 🤷🏻♂️
Ben Cherington spoke with the media this morning. A lot was discussed. For me, this was his most notable quote from the availability:
Today Dave Parker aka The Cobra 🐍 is officially enshrined at the Baseball #HallOfFame in Cooperstown as a member of the Class of 2025. #Pittsburgh #Pirates #LetsGoBucs
Someone seriously took time out of their day to make a graphic for this. 🥴
MET CAST TRADE PROPOSAL: Mets Receive: - Oneil Cruz (CF/103 OPS+) - Mitch Keller (SP/3.53 ERA) Pirates Receive: - Mark Vientos (3B) - Blade Tidwell (#10) - Drew Gilbert (#12) - Jonathan Santucci (#13)
The Cubs have some interesting pieces, but don’t think it’s a great match and would rather not see Keller dominate the Pirates for the next half decade. 🥴
This is absolutely insane. 🙄🙄🙄
Jones (1.407 OPS in AAA) also isn’t going anywhere. The only type of player they’d trade him for is Paul Skenes, who’s off the table, and that’s obviously a very limited category.
