Just an awful awful start to the Joe and Pomp Show on @937theFan. Had to turn it off for the day with them talking about how Paul Skenes should be the Pirate DH.
@AGretz He’s athletic for his size but he’s not athletic enough to be an effective pass catcher game in and game out. He’s also stiff when carrying the ball. DBs hit him low and he goes down like a ton of bricks. Rewatch the play where he broke is arm.
@ChrisMuellerPGH This depends on if it’s a 2027 second round pick. If so, that gives them legit “move up” ammo. So yes, I would pull the trigger on that deal.
@AGretz Sure but can we stop with the “maybe the best pitcher ever” nonsense? I mean he hasn’t even been the best pitcher on a .500 baseball team this year. That’s not a knock on Paul, it’s simply way too early to start throwing that kind label on him.
@mercerboy Agreed. If I’m Ben I’m shopping Lowe and Cruz at the deadline. Well that’s assuming Cruz doesn’t go all Cruz and completely bottom out in the next couple of months.
