    Brutal. He's made it into the 8th inning 3 times, and lost all 3.

    His stats: 1.88 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 92:20 K:BB

    He's 4-6

    I read a couple Red Sox & Dodger trade proposals put forth by media and they are utterly laughable. The commissioner should seize the Pirates franchise from the owners if they even entertain this nonsense (I don’t think they are)

    If you read the offers you feel very little pain or sacrifice as you review the players offered. That is a measure of the nonsense surrounding the Skenes story

    That Skenes’ agent has yet to capitalized on marketing indicates he’s got a weak ass crew in his corner

    Sad how common that is these days. I assume this has changed to occur more often because of the increased physical demands on pitchers today, compared to before.
    I recently read the Mets and the Dodgers minor league systems have the two highest average fastballs.

    It’s an organizational philosophy that they think they can afford.

    Yeah I read some and all these writers literally can't grasp Skenes trade value right now. Arguably best pitcher in MLB with another 1 1/2 years at min wage. With the slumlord Nutting in charge, he's basically untradeable. Pirates can't "afford" proper value back.

    Dodgers literally couldn't trade for him now. Saw a hypothetical offer that was Rushing, Pages, and 2 lower level guys. Sure, as long as you throw in Mookie or Freeman also, which the Pirates wouldn't pay for.

    Phillies the only team off the top of my head that could make an offer of all prospects, and it would be like their top 6 basically, that you could reasonably consider it. Mainly cause Abel and Painter are both SP's also.

    Roman Anthony , Christian Walker, Devers from Boston. Ooh. Now you feel the pain that is necessary.

    Francona just shoving the Tribes face in the sand at this point. 0-5 against the Reds. We just have no offense at all.

    The Roman Anthony era has begun in Boston. Forget the Skenes trade

    I’ve gotta check his pitching stats. He’s been out a lot and he’s prolly not the worst Dodger reliever.

    2.08 ERA & 1.33 WHIP

    HE IS BETTER THAN MOST OF THE DOYERS BULLPEN

    Show some respect for the glasses

    He’s actually pitched a number of times this year.

    Funny how despite basically underhanding it, he’s kept to reasonable stats thus far.

    Tribe simply cannot hit lefties despite seeing many. Another lefty tomorrow in Lodolo. But Lodolo can’t put away lefty batters and Cleveland has a few good ones

    Reds can’t hit lefties either.

    Wanna find a way to Cleveland team total or ML. It’s so counterintuitive it outta be good.

    I just don't have the patience to spend 3 hours of my summer watching an average team like the Sox but this kid might make it worthwhile:

    You are so good at this shit. I was leaning towards probably betting against Tribe and you made me dig deep and land on Cle team total and game over, both comfortable wins all ready. Thank you sir

    Thank you sir.

    I detected negativity in your Tito tone.

    2 Rings. He’ll always be beyond reproach. You made me look and respond to a game I woulda passed on a busy slate

    Always enjoy your work

    Tito will get nothing but unconditional love from me forever. My only negativity was thinking about how we downgraded at manager, which of course you’re going to do when it’s a new guy and Tito is consummate pro. I miss him running the show. Always felt he was maximizing whatever the teams ceiling was, but I have no complaints with Vogt other than around the edges occasionally. He will learn. We usually make smart choices given the limited resources.’

    Red Sox treated him so badly on his way out. If you want to change horses fine but then they disparaged him by leaking shit about his marriage and pain pill (drug use). There was no profit in that except to escape fan outrage over the move. Scumbags

    Red Sox will never fully recover their reputation with me. They are forever flawed. I acknowledge Theo Epstein’s genius and understand he too got fucked over and couldn’t wait to get out of town - but Theo did little to throw his body between Tito and ownership

    Random stat I just noticed. Since the trade 1 1/2 years ago, Glasnow has pitched 152 innings with a 3.61 ERA for the Dodgers, Pepiot has pitched 212 innings with a 3.49 ERA for the Rays.

    Both pitchers really wound up on the appropriate teams.

    In another tale of two franchises, the Brewers are a rare team right now in that they have more quality starters than they have starts for. Nonetheless, they are calling up their top pitching prospect, Jacob Misiorowski, to pitch in the rotation. Aaron Civale getting bumped to the pen, despite having pitched well. The kid was no longer being challenged in AAA, thus its time.

    Meanwhile, Pittsburgh continues to trot out retreads at the back of their rotation while Chandler wastes time in AAA

    I’m on this tall 2 pitch flame thrower F5 +114 for the pure entertainment. I’m gonna ladder his walks 2+ -130 & 3+ +230 'cause you know. He may get yanked early so 3 is enough
