Just started following the game. I hope to heck no Pirates pitching coach ever says a word to Skenes the whole time he’s here. This team is an enigma. Just when I’m about to say I’ve had enough they go and do what they did last night and are doing so far today. But I don’t think I’ve changed my mind...

And I see Oliveras is out of the line-up. That'll teach him to have a HR and double in four at bats last night.

Poor Paul Skenes. He needs to toss a shutout, and that may not be enough to get a win. After he got a load of Suwinski last night, I'll bet he went to Shelton's office this morning and asked if he could hit instead him.

No way.

I didn’t think he’d pitch the 6th so I don’t know what Shelton might do.

Williams leads off the 7th with a single. He drives me crazy.
