00:00but i do know i saw paul skein's pitch on tuesday in miami and he got beat up quite a
00:06bit he threw
00:07about 65 pitches through five innings he came out of the game he never hit 97 miles an hour
00:13there's just so much discussion as to why his velocity uh has dropped and why he's just not
00:19as effective tom and there's just like so many different reasons i'm not going to pretend look
00:24the pirates have major league pitching coaches and analytics groups tom if they can't figure it out
00:30then we probably shouldn't try to but i you know my my thing is this i have a feeling whatever
00:35it is
00:36just can't be fixed right now tom i think he gets into the offseason whatever the issue is is weight
00:41mechanics he fixes it and he becomes awesome paul skein's again i'm not worried but what i would
00:46say to people who were betting on paul skein's for the next couple of months you're taking a pretty
00:50big risk because i don't think this is something you can fix in august i i would agree you know
00:55there's a lot of different reports out there half them are probably not true more than half them are
01:00probably not true there's probably pieces of bits that are true saying oh that the pirates are doing
01:04this intentionally to scale back on him to preserve his arm just to decrease the workload so he doesn't
01:10have to be pitching that hard and that much there's all these sorts of things i agree with you to
01:15your
01:15point this is not something that's going to happen mid-season that's going to be rectified this is
01:19going to be a complete change of code and a new fundamental training regimen in the offseason
01:25it's not going to happen mid-season when frankly the pirates are out of it no yeah and also skein
01:31said that he would have taken himself out of the game and actually those pictures uh on miami beach
01:35posted of him looking a little bit on the heavier side i mean look is it possible that has something
01:41to do with it sure
01:42you
