HOUR 4 - Rocky Skenes start, Jason Mackey, TRT

Poni thinks this was one of the worst months of Pirates baseball in recent memory, including the PR disasters that were met within the first 30ish days of the season. PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason isn’t worried about Paul Skenes after a rocky start today. The guys asked Jason how hands-on or hands-off the Pirates are with Skenes. Jason wondered if the lack of a veteran catcher explains why Skenes isn’t quite as sharp as he was in 2024. The guys asked Jason about the arm angle change that Skenes has gone through this season. Jason looked at the bottom half of the Pirates order, which is a sad state of affairs for a regime in Year 6. Total Request Thursday.
