00:00the new york mets and the pittsburgh pirates here 11 wait 11 to 7 yesterday i thought two aces were
00:05on the mound yesterday well paul skeins he's teed up here from the wbc ain't no way he's not
00:11dominating on opening day until you watch that game and paul skeins went two-thirds of an innings
00:15pitch four hits five earned runs one strikeout two walks and pulled out of the game no thanks
00:20to his center fielder this is a man that's got like a one era starting the season joe 67.5
00:28is his era you don't like to see that in the paper the next day right well i mean he
00:34did last two
00:35thirds of an inning donnie let's give him a little credit uh he did yeah and and should have obviously
00:40been out of that inning not once but twice if his shortstop wasn't playing center field they could
00:45actually catch a fly ball uh but you know listen it happens uh you know it's got one thing let's
00:51not
00:51conflate the fact that he pitched in the world base as some sort of explanation as to what happened
00:58yesterday it 80 degree day warm day going on ball traveling off the bat in this it is what it
01:05is
01:05he'll be fine but the 67 era that he has right now it might take him a little while to
01:11get that
01:11thing back under control by the way philly's also dodged a bullet on don't on uh mr uh beau dante
01:18bichetta's like to call him oh for four yesterday take that that's fans but here's paul skeins
01:22he should be saying well what do you want me to do when my defense thinks this bad you gotta
01:27you
01:28gotta look at it for for what it is you know there wasn't a ton of hard contact um leadoff
01:35walk is not
01:35great um but yeah you know some balls landed that um or you know the the polanco ground ball um
01:47you know stuff like that so um it's just you know the the it's like the
01:56batting average on balls in play thing was super high today and that'll go down as the season goes
02:01on that's were really grinding at bats how frustrating was that yeah they did a really good job
02:09um in the moment i don't know uh maybe a little frustrating but um just gotta execute or you know
02:16earlier um yeah they did a good job it's a good teammate joe when he says some balls landed you
02:24know
02:25what that meant yeah it well they landed all right uh over your center fielder's head in front of your
02:32center fielder yes they they absolutely landed but he he was very good there in uh in not mentioning
02:40any of that or throwing anybody under the bus so you know it wasn't like he only went two thirds
02:45of
02:46an inning dotty so it wasn't like he had a lot uh a lot going on and he kind of
02:50just left out two
02:52pretty important plays there but you live it's only game one of 162 he'll be fine
02:58you
