Yeah.
Doing all right.
Another...
Yeah, and it was a fun weekend of ball, not just because they took two or three.
There was the Paul Skeens of it all as well.
We're going to talk about some of the injury stuff, but before we do that, Paul Skeens wasn't all that sharp in that game.
I know everyone is hittable, but man, even when he's not good, it looks impossible to hit off of him.
His ERA is up all the way to three, and he's allowing just over .8 base runners per inning.
So the last two starts have not done a dent to his season line.
I assume I know the answer to this, but he's in must-watch territory for you now.
I guess the Jays will be there next year, but next time he rolls through Toronto.
And then if you're me, you can sit there and have your laptop open and be like, ooh, how much did that move?
Or what is that pitch that George Springer got to?
So that Pirates team, Mitch Keller obviously doesn't have the stuff.
Paul Skeens, but that's another guy that has five or six pitches that can change quadrants that can move the ball around a little bit.
Obviously, when we talk about who's the nastiest pitcher, who's the toughest pitcher to face, it's usually the super high stuff guys.
But we're in an era where the kitchen sink guy has come back around and we're going to see it tonight with Jansen Junk as well.
A little bit of nominative determinism there with the quality of his stuff, but he'll throw a lot of it at them.
So when you are trying to prep for a Skeens, when you're trying to prep for a Mitch Kelly, when you're trying to prep for a Jansen Junk, I know you didn't throw six pitches, but as a team, like how many...
How many extra layers of difficulty does that... Because it's not just like, oh, instead of prepping for two pitches, I have to prep for three.
