So this is, I believe it's his first time pitching at Rogers Center.

It was decent, but... I mean, heck, if you told me they were going to get two runs over six innings against Skeens on Saturday, I'd take that.

Yeah, it's also I'm on the Skeens part and what you mentioned about him being very methodical.

It got in my head.

So there was like, I don't think Skeens ever actually talked about this, but I remember seeing like the pitching analyst guys late last year when the Pirates were out of it being like, I think Paul Skeens is doing side quests.

Like he's going into the game and he's like, I'm not going to use this pitch today or I'm going to try this because he had a sub two era and the pirates are kind of out of it.

So he kind of went into development mode.

So this year he's actually been like a commander.

He's the only guy walking batters less frequently than Kevin Gosman in the entire major leagues.

I do wonder, like, the stuff, as the pitch design metrics measure it, is down a little bit this year.

I do wonder if coming off a bad outing, he ditches the, like, six-pitch mix and command artist stuff and is like, let me just...

throw the best stuff to get back on track here because he has allowed five runs three times this year and bookended around those five were just like unhittable performances.

So I'll be curious to see what a bounce back Skeens outing looks like.

Yeah, and he's going to have a ton of competition the way it looks right now for the NL Cy Young.

Now, Skeens will have, hey, this is my third season of doing this when we're talking about best pitcher in the world.

But Mizorowski and Chase Burns right there with him.

Christopher Sanchez right there with him in the NL.

Shohei as well?

Shohei, yeah.

unbelievable there's sub one era um and now he's hitting again when he pitches sir uh okay so the other thing we have going on this weekend and we're going to talk to vivek jacob about this later in the show as well but it's cricket day at the park on saturday this is the fourth year of this um
