North Shore Nine

Paul Skenes stole the show again as the Pirates blanked the Diamondbacks 6–0 to take the series, and Jim and Tyler were fired up about it on tonight’s postgame show. Skenes was absolutely dominant—six scoreless innings, nine strikeouts, and now a 1.83 ERA on the season. The guys broke down how his stuff looked better than ever and why he continues to prove he’s the best pitcher in baseball. They also praised a much-needed offensive spark, led by Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz, and Tommy Pham. Reynolds and Cruz finally looked like the cornerstones they’re paid to be, and the team is now 13–0 when scoring 3+ runs for Skenes. The bullpen delivered too, with Carmen Mlodzinski striking out four in two innings and looking like a legit weapon down the stretch. Could this be the last ride for some key Pirates ahead of the trade deadline? Tune in to hear the full breakdown, and be ready for emergency pods all week.
