00:00You know, every five days, it's really exciting when Skeens pitches.
00:04And it's terrible watching him pitch because every time he pitches, they don't score.
00:10He never gets a win.
00:12But what is the deal?
00:14So he pitched into the eighth inning, gave up two hits, seven Ks, no decision.
00:19His ERA is 1.88.
00:20He has a 1.12 ERA in his last seven starts, only one win in those seven starts.
00:27Honestly, I guess it's like DeGrom, the year that he had the great ERA and never won because the Mets couldn't score runs.
00:34Isn't it frustrating to you to watch the Pirates, even though they swept the Phillies?
00:39Like, look, it was a Saturday 2-1, Sunday 2-1.
00:41They still can't score runs even when they win.
00:44Yeah.
00:45First of all, it was great to see you and the boys.
00:47And, you know, Mafia said it while we were just waiting.
00:50Having him hit the lineup probably would actually help when he pitches.
00:54There's no way to do it because you can't.
00:56But, yeah, it's beyond frustrating.
01:00And the numbers would tell you, you know, the books have adjusted.
01:04The Pirates are a clear under team.
01:06The numbers are so low.
01:09You saw it yesterday with Skeens on a Hill.
01:12Six and a half was the total.
01:13It still went under.
01:16I don't know what has to happen.
01:18They're not going to go out and get a bat.
01:22So, it's going to be a lot of grinding, a lot of low-scoring games.
01:27The pitching staff has been the best in baseball in the last 30 days as far as the starters.
01:33ERA.
01:34They're all following in line.
01:36Now, with the change of manager, they're getting guys in the right spots in the seventh and the eighth.
01:43Bednar has been rejuvenated since he went down early.
01:47So, Scotty, we got a shot at winning some games.
01:50Now, I don't know about – I mean, they're buried.
01:51I don't think they can come back and, you know, they get –
01:54What are they, 25 and 40?
01:56Yeah.
01:57It would be an unbelievable year and summer if they could do it.
02:02I just want to get them back to playing competitive baseball, which they are small favorites tonight against Miami.
02:08How many times have you seen a team 15 games under 500 get back to 500?
02:14Besides, like – I mean, it happens, like, once every 10 years.
02:19Like, who comes back from this?
02:21Like, the last one that I really remember in the book was 2019 when Washington was just floundering and was terrible.
02:31And then we got to the all-star break and they could not lose.
02:34And we were all in a really good position in the book on them and kept going, they're catching the Mets.
02:41They are going to do this.
02:43There's no doubt about it.
02:45We're not even close to that, even having that conversation with the Pirates, Scott.
02:49So, let's just enjoy the ride.
02:53Hopefully, they have a good week this week.
02:55Take two or three minimum.
02:56I'd like to see them win three more in a row from Miami, who's been really bad.
03:01The pitching matchups kind of set up nice.
03:04Burroughs tonight, Keller tomorrow, and then we'll see what happens on Wednesday.
03:08Wasn't Miami playing Tampa or something this weekend?
03:11Was that what it was?
03:12And they had a wild game.
03:14They had, like, this 13-12 game and the Marlins actually won a game against them.
03:19They did.
03:20That was the only one they won all week, which is fine.
03:23You know, those games down in Tampa are wild.
03:26The games out in Sacramento with the A's are wild.
03:30We'll see what happens tonight.
03:32But the Pirates' number, let's see, double check, is eight on the total.
03:36They're only minus 120, 125-ish.
03:40I feel like a, you know, kind of a mark, maybe a little bit, a homer.
03:44But the Pirates are going to win tonight.
