@KodyDuncanPGH Skenes is not the same pitcher this year. Too many pitches every game. Needs to be more efficient.

There is a negative correlation b/w the talk of artificial intelligence & the practice of natural intelligence.

Most in the West still think that escalating geopolitical conflicts, exploding debts & rising socialism won't affect them or their money.

This is normal human behavior b/c the biggest lesson of history is that humans don't learn from history.

@Demilio22 Great. We can use his bat.🙃

@KodyDuncanPGH Getting old. With this below average pitching staff, Kelly needs to have a “gut feel” in his decision making which he has yet to exhibit.

[JBVO @JBVO2]

@KodyDuncanPGH Perhaps one should question Kelly's use of Dotel after the latter's prior horrendous performance.

@PiratesFaithful No need to insult little leaguers.

[JBVO @JBVO2]

@PiratesFaithful Kelly will now use him in the next save situation.
