As stupid as it sounds, maybe Pirates should trade Skenes right now. Can you imagine haul they’d get in return for young superstar? Maybe 3-4 everyday players (not prospects) and 1-2 pitchers. Hell, they can’t with him (lost 6 of his 9 starts). Could remake team trading one guy.
Paul Skenes reflects on his start 🗣️. "Could have been better. being able to get out of there with one run is a good thing, but [if] we're more efficient, maybe we go seven, maybe we go eight.". @mearshannah_

Good grief, it’s about time. Shelton was one of the worst managers in MLB history from a win percentage standpoint. It wasn’t all his fault because the organization is cheap as they come. Next up: Ben Cherington. And if we’re wishing out loud: #selltheteam.
Derek Shelton has been relieved of his duties as Pirates Manager. Pirates Bench Coach, Don Kelly, has been named manager.

James Franklin is a very good coach. He’s accomplished so much and seems to be on verge of taking another big step. But it’s this kind of nonsense that makes you think he is still incredibly insecure and thin skinned. It’s happened numerous times now, and it’s always a bad look.
.@NeilRudel @CoryGiger Thoughts? Extremely thin skin for a head coach at an elite school.

This guy is one of the most garbage managers in the history of MLB. He’s absolute trash. No way he should have a job. But yeah, keep running out dudes hitting .128 like Suwinski, who isn’t even a major league player. Shelton should have been fired loooooong ago.
Shelton didnt use McCutchen as pinch hitter late in game. Cutch throws shade at Shelton for not being in lineup today. Something’s off here. I’m on Cutch’s side.

All this stuff below matters. But none of this has ever been PSU’s biggest weakness. Weakness has always been Franklin’s gameday coaching. Predictable, conservative, bad decisions in clutch, adjustments take too long. If all else is fixed, Franklin himself now has to step up.
For much of James Franklin’s tenure, Penn State didn’t act like a school that cared about football as much as, say, Ohio State. Franklin believes Penn State has that kind of alignment now. Will it make the difference?.

The Pirates’ season is over. Yes, already. Tune in every fifth day to watch Skenes and save yourself from the inevitable torturous frustration.
Can't get Bucs on MLBTV because I'm in a "local" market to Tampa Bay. My cable carrier doesn't carry the "local" station, FanDuel Sun. I can stream FanDuel Sun but I used my free 7-day subscription up last year watching the Pirates. So. $19.99 to watch three Pirates games.

RT @MisterMrSmith: @CoryGiger Hey Cory, think you could share the petition to urge them to reconsider? Probably a far chance of it working….
