The Skippers View Podcast

@SkippsviewBrett Burns has been gross 🤢

Chase Burns is the reason that the Reds' management team can sleep at night. Injured Arms: - Hunter Greene (RHP) - Rhett Lowder (RHP) - Caleb Ferguson (LHP) - Emilio Pagán (RHP) - Brandon Williamson (LHP) Burns is the 4th ranked pitcher on Yahoo fantasy only behind Chris Sale, Cam Schlittler, and Shohei Ohtani.

Vinnie Pasquantino has been very BAD this season. Across 47 games played in 2026... .194 AVG | .605 OPS | 18 R | 5 HR | 22 RBI | 1 SB Pasquatch needs to get going for this Royals lineup to have any chance at a postseason run this year.

Nolan Ryan's incredible strikeout numbers never earned him a Cy Young. The culprit? His sky-high walk rate. A reminder that dominance isn't always perfect execution. #MLB #NolanRyan

Braxton Ashcraft tonight against St. Louis: -7 IP | 1 W | 9 K | 1.29 ERA | 0.86 WHIP | 1 QS Stats on the year: 62.1 IP | 3 W | 65 K | 2.89 ERA | 1.03 WHIP | 5 QS Ashcraft's 5-pitch mix has been a PROBLEM for opposing hitters this season.

Spencer Arrighetti has been lights out for a horrific Houston pitching staff. 6 GS | 5 W | 1.50 ERA | 1.19 WHIP | 36 IP | 35 K Astros Team Stats: - 5.34 ERA (Last in MLB) - 1.53 WHIP (Last in MLB) - 67 HR Allowed (26th in MLB) - 12 Quality Starts (25th in MLB)

Kyle Schwarber is leading the league with a .393 ISO. An ISO of .200+ is considered elite, signaling a true slugger. .140 is considered average. Needless to say, he is obliterating the baseball right now...

The Brewers were 18-15 on May 3rd. Have won 11 of 14 games since Jackson Chourio returned to the lineup. 14 GP | 5 R | 1 HR | 5 RBI | 3 SB | .286 AVG | .741 OPS They now sit atop the NL Central division with a 29-18 record. Death. Taxes. Brew Crew.

The Guardians do not strike out in the batter's box 🤯

Does team success overshadow individual brilliance when it comes to the Cy Young Award? Voters face a tough decision between a pitcher's dominant stats and their team's overall performance. #MLB #CyYoung

WE ARE LIVE!

Liam Hicks has been a PROBLEM in the batter's box this season. 2026 - .283 AVG | .835 OPS | 22 R | 9 HR | 40 RBI | 1 SB

Paul Skenes is dominating this season. #MLB #Pirates #CyYoung

WE ARE LIVE!

Going live tonight with @HagenSnellBB & @SkippsviewBrett. Post any questions you want answered about MLB in the comments below!

Corbin Carroll has now gone deep twice today. 2022 - 1.3 bWAR 2023 - 5.3 bWAR 2024 - 3.3 bWAR 2025 - 5.8 bWAR 2026 - 1.9 bWAR* Continues to be one of the most slept on superstars in baseball!

@SkippsviewBrett pain.

Leave it to the New York Yankees (28-19) to drop 2/3 in a series to the New York Mets (20-26)...😢 NYY is heading home to take on TOR (21-25) in a 4-game series. Ryan Weathers, Will Warren, Cam Schlittler, and Carlos Rodón are slated to pitch in this series. Need big games from these four arms.

Logan Henderson is electric. Career MLB Stats: 9 GS | 4-1 | 43.1 IP | 2.49 ERA | 1.02 WHIP | 56 K | 11 BB Another arm out of the Milwaukee pitching factory.

Cody Bellinger is really starting to get going. Across his last two weeks: 9 R | 2 HR | 14 RBI | 2 SB | 9 BB | .319 BA | 1.059 OPS Rice, Judge, Bellinger has to be one of the most intimidating 1-2-3's in baseball.

Nick Kurtz cannot be stopped right now. Last 14 days: 10 R | 3 HR | 14 RBI | 2 SB | 6 BB | .370 BA | 1.137 OPS The Athletics should probably extend this guy before they do anything else...

Shohei Ohtani leads the MLB with a 0.82 ERA. He's the only qualified pitcher with an ERA under 1.00. Ohtani - Career BA allowed is .199 Skenes - Career BA allowed is .192 From the batter's box this season, Ohtani has also racked up: 7 HR | 17 RBI | 27 R | 5 SB | .799 OPS | 0.9 bWAR Now imagine if Paul Skenes could also hit?
