00:00The Pittsburgh Pirates, their offense stinks.
00:02It stinks every single day.
00:03Paul Skeens is a really good pitcher.
00:05He's got to throw a shutout if they have any chance to win.
00:07He didn't throw a shutout yesterday, but he went eight innings
00:09and gave up one earned run, which is a solo home run,
00:12and the Pittsburgh Pirates fought back with?
00:14Yeah, zero runs.
00:15Three to nothing victory for the Houston Astros.
00:18Play that same song again, and that's Paul Skeens dominating
00:21and still not getting anything for it.
00:24Yeah, I mean, look, the Pirates had a nice little run on the West Coast
00:29against Arizona and San Diego where their offense actually, like, hit the ball.
00:33You know, I think they scored 19 runs or two games against Arizona out West
00:37and they ended up beating the Padres.
00:40I don't know if they took two out of three, but they scored a bunch of runs
00:43in the games.
00:43Anyway, regardless, apparently they're back to their old selves again
00:46of just being completely impotent on offense and unfortunate for Skeens,
00:50but, you know, it's these kind of things where the momentum now starts
00:55to build for Skeens, who is pitching his tail off to go,
00:57what do I want to stay here for, right?
01:00Like, this is the problem.
01:01You can't even win the days he goes out.
01:03Even if you're only going to win 65, 68, 70 games,
01:07just win most of the games when Skeens starts
01:09because he's pitching well enough for you to do that on a routine basis.
01:14So frustrating for Skeens, more frustrating for Pirates fans.
