Skenes has been pretty good in his debut for the Pirates - 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 K. He got into a bases-loaded jam in the second with a HBP, single,, and walk, but got a strikeout and a groundout to end the inning.

But how does the WAG look?

Bingo thread deleted again.... sigh. What the heck is wrong with that thread????

Here's the answer I got via email (partial): Please don't create threads that troll an entire group of other users to the extent that they start to take collective action against you.

What does that actually mean? I'm so confused by the moderation.

I don't really know. I guess putting the reference to pretty girls in the title, or maybe saying "no Ranger fans allowed" was interpreted as me trolling. I was more concerned they took hours and hours to get rid of a lot of policy-breaking posts and the main person involved in it received zero ban. There's nothing I can do about it in the long run. Having creative fun on this board is like trying to dance in the pre-Kevin Bacon Bomont, Utah.

Nico Hoerner takes Skenes deep. Pirates still up 4-1.

Joe Espada said it was "very difficult" telling Brandon Bielak of the Astros' decision to DFA him. "It’s a part of my job that kind of sucks, having that conversation with someone who’s done so much for the organization."

Pirates take Skenes out after 84 pitches (54 strikes). 4 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 7 K. Weird thy didn't let him pitch the 5th to get the win when they are up 6-1.

He won a natty at LSU

I'd imagine they'd make some D1 children

The Astros want to keep Cristian Javier at 70 to 75 pitches tonight, Joe Espada said. Hunter Brown will be in the bullpen for added coverage. It sounds like a temporary move and that Brown could make at least one start on the upcoming homestand.

Bregman with the rare two pop up outs in a single AB

Looks like they rushed Javi back...

Not ideal

We have to lead the league in RBI walks I swear

He may not make it to 75 pitches

I know he has zero command right now but he seems to be really avoiding the fastball tonight. Not sure if that is scouting report if just has no feel for it. Velo seems down too

Well…..oof

Well that's an early night for me

5-0

F me in the goat A

84 mph change-up right down the pipe

batting practice pitch

What I get for trying to watch an entire game…

Blow it up.

Try again tomorrow.

A&M and the Astros trying to ruin my Saturday today

Did put 4 runs on their bullpen last night

Keep it at 5

Skubal tough to knock out though

Did not need this after the Aggie beatdown in Oxford. What an awful day of baseball with both teams getting blown out in the 2nd inning

Espada can pull the rest of the regulars too now

We just really suck

Goatse.

We almost certainly lead the league in games that are 6+ run deficits by the second inning at the latest

Ugh
