Did I see it correctly on Game Day that Skenes threw three pitches in the 1st inning and got three outs? The good news is that he literally couldn't have done it any better. The bad news is that it only gets worse from here.

It was 10 pitches. Topped 100 mph a few times.

That's good then. It means there's room for improvement.

Well, he did have a 1-2-3 inning. So it doesn't look like anyone will ever reach base against him in his career.

Just watched a video of the Davis home run today, and he appears more solid than he was last season.

They might as well save everyone the time and induct him into the Hall of Fame this summer.

He’s going to be a really good player. He’ll end up being a decent enough catcher because he’ll never stop working to improve. He’ll never be satisfied. As soon as Endy is healthy enough, they need to start preparing him to play RF.
