OT: Pirates Talk: That Skenes guy is okay at teh baseball
- Thread starter Zirakzigil
- Start date
It's hockey and football season. The Pirates did their job of getting us to August when the competitive sports begin.

No need to worry about baseball until the winter meetings

Not that anyone watched this game over the Steelers game, but if this is Skenes' last start, he went out with a bang. 9 strikeouts and only 2 hits against in 5 innings, I'm guessing he was pulled so he can get another start.
Also Yorke had his first HR, I think he could be a really good hitter for them next year.

Made a nice snag on a hard hit line drive, and nothing glaring that made him look overmatched.
I did watch because I am not a football guy.

If York is going to be mainly a 2nd baseman then Nick needs to take over ss. Glad to hear he played well

I didn't watch the game so I can't comment, but I think the big worry I have with Gonzales at SS is that his arm is really weak. He does have good range though (at least at 2B), so I think he could be passable at SS. That being said, it's really not a good idea to plan on that being option A going into next year.
I think they're better off pushing Yorke to LF and keeping Gonzales at 2B, or perhaps go the opposite way. I don't think either Yorke or Gonzales have the arm to be effective SS or 3B in the long run.

Ikf arm isn’t great for ss or range. The only way they put Nick or Yorke in Left is if Reynolds moves to 1st unless they want to rotate DH because they know Cutch isn’t going to play 120 games will be interesting going into the winter meetings

Nothing matter unless there is, at least, new management.
I'd like to see Cherington gone, too, but, at the very least, Shelton and his band of flunkies need removed.

Reynolds to 1B is absolutely something they should be doing.
McCutchen at DH, Reynolds at 1B, Yorke (or whoever wins the role, but I think Yorke's bat will let him win it) in LF and bring in a legitimate bat to play RF.
Too bad deGrom is rarely healthy.

There's a very real argument that he's been the best pitcher in baseball since he broke into the league. The ROTY voting shouldn't be close.

The Reds fired their manager basically as soon as they lost yesterday.
He had signed a three year extension this off season, so there you go, Pirates, it IS possible.
