What is, as they build up, and look, this is your...

Year three of Paul Skeens.

Paul Skeens wants to win at some point.

Jared Jones is getting close to coming back here.

What would be a successful 2026 season at the end if it's not a wildcard spot?

Which will be uncomfortable for other teams that are trying to acquire bullpen arms because the Pirates are always one of the first teams I look at because they do a good job developing.

some bullpen arms and you're like, well, maybe Santana will be available.

But yeah, if they're, if they're adding, that'll be a different story.

Let's take a look at a couple of the starters.

So everyone's excited for Paul schemes on Saturday.

Bubba Chandler is a pretty big prospect as well.

It hasn't been going quite as well for him.

He'll get the start tonight.

What have you seen from Chandler so far?

And you were someone who on your way up was ranked pretty highly on the prospect lists.

What kind of pressure comes with that when you first get the nod?

So I did want to ask you, so the walks and wild pitches aside, when you pitched, the thing that I remember was you hit a lot of guys and the numbers back that up and you just said it.

You also, you had been on a couple of teams, so I imagine you would have ended up teammates with guys you hit at some point.
