August 1 Pirates Talk

So how many games in a row of this bullpen costing leads for Ben to start acting

Focusing on Skenes velocity is lazy analysis. The issue with Skenes seems to be his off-speed pitches, which have fallen from elite (98th-100th percentile) to well below average (17th percentile) in effectiveness.  It’d be nice to see less about “arm trouble,” and more “his splitter/slider stopped fooling anyone, and the defense behind him hasn’t helped.” He’s not messed up from the WBC. His pitch selection and sequencing is f’d up. I think he could use a divorce from Henry.

Ben really needs to wake up and get on the phone

I just want to see my OG badge

Saw a thing about the brewers willing to take on skubals salary so thats fun

Need Hor and Cruz back asap

Ashcraft the stopper will save us today

What date will we have the airing of grievances??

If we can only take on 3 players at the deadline I’d rather see us get 1 RP, 1 SP, and a 3B. We need more than just RP and Ben needs to make a move now!

Same old season. Hope I’m wrong but will August and September have any meaning

Any news on O’Hearn??

did GMBC fall asleep at the wheel again? deadline fast approaching and he’s just watching them collapse instead of bringing in any impactful spark plugs

4 game losing streak

I am so behind on my episodes 😭

I'm ready to be hurt again today.

Yes WBC did screw up Skenes

Does anyone else think that the WBC messed up skenes?
