Pittsburgh Faces Crucial Countdown: Will They Lose Skenes Forever?
Last year recap:
Well, there isn’t much reason to be excited about last season. The team lost 91 games and was 20 games under .500. There wasn’t even much hope as the team was 20 games under at the All-Star Break and they never really got any better. The biggest issue was their hitting; the offense was bad. However, the pitching wasn’t exactly amazing outside Skenes. Mitch Keller was okay, but he had a 4.19 ERA, higher than you’d like for a guy that is supposed to be your number 2. I want to knock Skenes for this, or maybe praise Keller, but I’m not sure either is deserved. Skenes had 20 quality starts, and Keller had 17. But Skenes was removed repeatedly after five innings. Those two combined for 47 of the Pirates’ 54 quality starts for the year.Â
