Skenes Night: He’s due. So here’s the deal. If Paul strikes out 9 or more. Like he did the last time he faced the Dodgers. And the Buccos win. I’ll give away 5 Paul Skenes jerseys. Just follow me. And retweet this post. And you’re good. Let’s go Bucs!
"If we lose this game, I'll walk back to Pittsburgh."
On this date in 1989, Pirates broadcaster Jim Rooker made that promise after Pittsburgh scored 10 runs in the 1st inning.
The Pirates lost 15-11.
And Rooker actually walked the 300+ miles back to Pittsburgh.

Today: Juan Soto signing a $765 million contract and won’t run out ground balls
70s: Pete Rose signing a $100,000 contract and running out his fucking walks like Usain Bolt because he had money riding on that shit
Advantage: 70s
