@DKPghSports Never understood why Mem Day wasn’t more of a thing for MLB and teams.

The Pirates’ Memorial Day game against the Cubs on May 25 will now have a 1:35 p.m. first pitch. It was originally scheduled for a 6:40 p.m. start time. The decision was made upon receiving feedback from season ticket holders. — From José Negron in Pittsburgh

@tbonier @ladyredsoxxx Meanwhile Skenes was dealing again for the Bucs.

@ladyredsoxxx Saw this tweet just as they hit into their second DP of the night, taking only 15 pitches through 3 innings. So... yes, confirmed.

if you're having a bad day today, just remember the red sox are going to make it worse 🩷

@Travis_Sawchik Could graph this on log scale.

Paul Skenes was always going to be OK

@DTonPirates Like to see at least 4-2 on this home stand. Phils playing a bit better under Donnie Baseball these days.

Gregory Soto looks it down in the 9th. #Pirates win 3-1, raise their record to 23-19. Paul Skenes goes to 6-2. Rockies again tomorrow night.

@DrNeilStone Half of them, at any rate.

Journalism seems like an easy gig You just make up any old shit and people will believe you

@DTonPirates Even more impressive is his WHIP and K:BB ratio.

Paul Skenes gave up 5 runs in 2/3 of an inning to open the season. His ERA was 67.50. His ERA is now 1.98. It's May 12. #Pirates

@ExaminerSport Hard to argue.

Pep Guardiola feels winning convincingly is best way to avoid VAR controversies irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/a…

@DUPleader @TrumpDailyPosts Has he thought about who they’d vote for?

@TrumpDailyPosts Weirdos.

𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱 𝗝. 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗽 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 - 𝟬𝟲:𝟱𝟰 𝗣𝗠 𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝟬𝟱.𝟭𝟮.𝟮𝟲

@DTonPirates That hit made Donny’s night a lot easier.

In his last 8 starts, including tonight, Paul Skenes has given up more than 3 hits & 1 run one time. #Pirates

@NorthShoreNine What’s even more impressive is how low his WHIP is.

Paul Skenes is down to a 2.11 ERA on the season. Remember after this there was worry about how it would affect any potential Cy Young race? It's May 12th LOL

@DTonPirates That’s a big second run.

No more perfect game, but no-hitter thru 5. #Pirates

@NorthShoreNine Don’s gonna have to lay some rules down. Some guys may need to have keys to the car taken.

the Pittsburgh Pirates are out of challenges with 1 out in the bottom of the 3rd.

@DrNeilStone Walking stick?

I actually saw someone with a monocle today in London. Felt like I was back in the 1890s.

@DTonPirates Not gonna beat Wood. Increases CG likelihood.

Instead of striking out the side in the thrid, Paul Skenes had a 4-pitch inning--must be a career-first. #Pirates up 1-0, b3.

@GoonerTaIk Didn't even need to get to Havertz being tackled, the first foul in the sequence.

I’ve read mixed feelings on the VAR audio, but for me it clears everything up. They looked at all three fouls. They say Pablo’s is a clear foul, Trossard’s is nothing, and Rice’s happened after Pablo’s. They considered every possibility and made the right decision. Case closed.

@AlexJStumpf On the plus side, that quick 3rd helps his pitch count.

After Paul Skenes off with six straight strikeouts, Willi Castro opens the third with a bunt back to Skenes. Strikeout streak is done, some boos from the home crowd

@Orangeiceman10 Didn't even look at tackle of Havertz, which was first foul in series. Not that it mattered in the end.

Ref clears Trossard straight away & rightly so Rice on Mavropannos is definitely a penalty IF Raya isn’t being fouled first

@DTonPirates 30 pitches thus far, 7 inning or so pace.....

Paul Skenes opens the game wth SIX STRAIGHT Ks. #Pirates

@DTonPirates The Hit Collector. #LetsGoBucs

Nicky G w another ground single thru the right side--feels like about 10 in the past two weeks--to drive in Oneil Cruz. 1-0 #Pirates, b1.
