Pirates Notebook 9/29; Paul Skenes, Rowdy Tellez, Grandal, Oakland, Sportsnet

How are you even supposed to hit Paul Skenes?!?!

He strikes out Juan Soto AND Aaron Judge with straight filth pic.twitter.com/bqLJYHzyYn— MLB (@MLB) September 28, 2024

  • Painting 100 mph fastballs glove side to Juan bleeping Soto. Unreal.
  • Since 1912 when ERA became an official statistic, Paul Skenes is the only AL/NL rookie pitcher to finish with at least 170 strikeouts, at least 130 innings and have an ERA under 2. Because of course he is.
  • Has been said many times by many people, but the Pirates have to make the most of Paul Skenes while they have him and while he’s healthy.
