Paul Skenes most dominant Bucs starter ever
Paul Skenes most dominant Bucs starter ever
The most dominant Pirates player I have seen in decades and THE most dominant starter I have ever seen play for the Bucs. Finished his final appearance last night with a typical Skenes performance: 6 IP, 4 H 7 K 0 R. For the season, 1.97 ERA, .095 WHIP, 216 K, .199 BA against. Get some offense, Nutting and we will go far! Let's go Bucs!!
He’s a generational talent. He has the power of Nolan Ryan and the craftiness of Greg Maddux. Amazingly, the Pirates are going to squander it.

Who was the best ever Pirate pitcher before him? Babe Adams?
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

Pirates have ZERO pitchers in the HOF.
Best of my lifetime have probably been Friend, Candelaria, Drabek and maybe Cole.

Yeah, I think the two old timers for sure.
But the Bucs have never had an era of stellar pitching like the Mets, Orioles, Dodgers, Cards, Phillies, even the Diamondbacks did.
Until Skenes, I would say Candelaria was maybe the best pitcher during my lifetime.
The early 70s might have been that had Blass and Ellis not fallen apart.
