00:00And the Pirates are home this evening at PNC.
00:03And, of course, they'll get a big crowd because who's on the mound?
00:06Paul Skeen's night in Pittsburgh against the Nationals.
00:10That also means you're going to pay for it.
00:12Minus 205 for the Buccos this evening.
00:15The Nats are plus $1.70.
00:16They'll have your boy, Brad Lord.
00:21May the Lord be with you.
00:21Seven and a half is the total.
00:25And also with you.
00:26I will say this.
00:28Paul Skeen's is amazing.
00:30But I think he's doing too much stuff on the side.
00:34He's become so famous.
00:35He's doing GQ shoots and, you know, doing all kinds of, you know, video games.
00:41And he's on the cover of this and that.
00:43And they got him, you know, already winning the Cy Young.
00:46And what he's doing is he's going out and getting lit up.
00:50His last start, he gave up five runs in four innings.
00:55I'll take him tonight anyway because I think the Nationals suck.
00:58And I think Skeen's has to wake up and stop doing all this Hollywood stuff and start being who he is.
01:04He's a pitcher.
01:05I think all this fame and fortune is getting to his head.
01:09And it only took one year.
01:10Am I wrong, Mike?
01:11Like, he's not pitching well.
01:13He gave up five runs his last start.
01:15And he's already had two bad starts.
01:18And he had the 4-1 lead.
01:21And the Pirates blew that game in Miami.
01:23But he has not been great at all.
01:26I think it's because he's doing all this other stuff.
01:28Not only that, he's doing interviews about his other stuff.
01:30He's like, yeah, I can't believe I'm in GQ.
01:32I'd never heard of him before.
01:33But it was a pretty good photo shoot, didn't you think?
01:35I thought my girlfriend looked good.
01:36Like, bro, honestly, just go pitch.
01:39I would say this is his fourth start of the season.
01:43I would say only one of the first three were really good.
01:46That was the one in Tampa, that afternoon game, where he pitched really well that day.
01:50But other than that, the Miami game and the St. Louis game, he didn't pitch well in either of them.
01:56Even the game that they blew for him.
01:57You know, he wasn't great in that opening day game.
01:59They already handed him to Cy Young.
02:01He's not even winning that.
02:02That's not happening either.
02:03Yeah, there's a long way to go to be handed anybody to Cy Young in April.
02:09Yeah, thanks.
02:10There's just way too much time left in the season.
02:13He needs to work.
02:13He needs to bust his ass and work and stop being famous.
02:18Like, I think it's gotten to him already.
02:20It took one year.
02:21Is it part of that because the team sucks, so he thinks he has to do all that to get himself boosted up?
02:28Because if he doesn't do it, the team is so bad, he's not going to be in these high-profile games or the playoffs or anything like that.
02:35Maybe that's why.
02:35I think there's some semblance of that, that he's not in anything that matters except all-star games where he started.
02:42But I think that he's a great talent, and he needs to show what he's made of pitching.
02:48And all this other stuff is bullshack.
02:50I mean, that's just money and side cheese and side hustle and all this other stuff.
02:56Fame and fortune, it ruins everyone.
02:59It ruins everyone.
03:00It really does.
03:00I don't care what anybody says.
03:02It ruins everyone.
03:03I want to see the guy pure as day pitch and not have his arm fall off.
03:08I've told you that a thousand times.
03:10I don't care about all this other bullshack.
03:12I don't care about it.
