Paul Skenes Has to Save the Pirates’ Season
Keep the session moving with another watch from the same channel.
The Pirates passed an early test at Wrigley, taking 2 of 3 from the Cubs, but Alex Stumpf explains why the series still left some real concerns behind. On this episode of OffBeat, Alex breaks down strong starts from Carmen Mlodzinski, Braxton Ashcraft, and Bubba Chandler, the continued production from Oneil Cruz and the offense, and why the bullpen and defense still feel like the biggest threats to this team’s ceiling.
He also looks at Justin Lawrence’s struggles, Yohan Ramirez emerging as a real bullpen weapon, and why this might be the clearest path the Pirates have had to contend in the NL Central in years.
If the Pirates are for real, this weekend told us a lot.
