Critics, including local writers, have turned their focus to young ace Paul Skenes, questioning his consistency and depth, even as he boasts a stellar 2.89 ERA and ranks 14th in the majors. But comparing him to Michael Jordan and blaming him for the team’s shortcomings ignores the bigger picture — a franchise still rebuilding and struggling to support its talent. Skenes, still very young and adjusting, isn’t playing at his peak yet — and that’s okay. The real issue? The Pirates’ front office needs to step up and give their young stars the tools to thrive, not the other way around. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
