00:005-3 loss for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

00:01The Pirates are going to lose a lot of baseball games.

00:03It's just what they do.

00:04But we're not used to Paul Skeen.

00:05Six innings pitched, five earned runs like we saw yesterday.

00:09Should we already be making trade rumors up about the Pittsburgh Pirates?

00:12Can't afford Paul Skeens just to get him out of town here, huh?

00:15Well, I saw a great picture over the weekend of Skeen's Yankee jersey

00:23is making the rounds on social media.

00:25So it won't be long.

00:27Don't worry, Yankee fans.

00:28He will be in pinstripes before it's all said and done.

00:32We all know this.

00:33But listen, if you thought he was just going to come in

00:36and dominate every game he pitches,

00:40especially now with a year under the belt

00:43and we have video footage of him,

00:46we got players now that have had a chance to see him a bunch of times.

00:50Like, there are going to be nights like this, like he had last night.

00:55Against, by the way, give St. Louis credit

00:56because they've been swinging the bats to start the year

01:00better than anybody thought they were.

01:02But hey, I mean, he gave up five runs.

01:05It wasn't like he got shellacked for,

01:08oh, they got nine runs in two innings.

01:10Like, he had a rough outing at home in 30 degrees.

01:14It happens.

01:14I think he'll be just fine when it's all said and done.

01:17I think he'll be just fine when it's all said and done.
