Removed after 64 pitches while dominating is wild.

Pirates are trash

It’s criminal that his record is what it is because the Pirates can’t find a run to save their booty.

He’ll never set yearly/season records because unlike the pitchers in the 20th century, they will rarely let him go 9 innings. However, that should extend his longevity so he might be able to hit some career stats and records and, hopefully, make a shite-ton of money.

He'll set a shite-ton of records for no decisions

Way to say how many total strikeouts he had for the game!

FIVE Pirate starters last night hitting .200 or below. The other 4 hitting under .260. Pathetic. Pirates are last in MLB in scoring and 6th in runs allowed.

Anyone know why they pulled him after only 64 pitches with a 1-0 lead? And “throw” a strikeout??

Making a late season run perhaps...

Because they're terrible and aren't making the playoffs. It would be pointless other than Skenes wanting to make a run at the CY
