Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

It's about damn time. We talk some Pittsburgh Pirates baseball. Yes you heard me. And no offense to the

pirates by the way. I like the Pirates. The Pirates are a good jungle team. I've got no issue whatsoever with the Pirates, but there is only one single reason to lead the show with the Pirates today.

And of course that reason is the rookie ace

ace aka the utterly dominant mustached sensation aka Paul Skeens

now I'm assuming that it's very possible that some, if not even many of you, have never actually seen this dude pitch, which would be too bad. But then again, understandable.

He was a May call-up.

He was only called up in May, and he does play for the pirates.

And once again, no offense to the the pirates but if you have never seen

this dude on the bump you have to check him out stat because this dude is

freaking electric he has freaking filthy stuff. He's disgusting. He's disgusting. He's

revolting. It's disgusting. It'susting. It's despicable.

Well, his stuff is.

Personally, he's cool as hell.

He has the swag and the confidence of a 10-year vet,

even though he hasn't even been in the majors for 10 weeks.

Like that's no joke.

He debuted almost exactly two months ago and very few pictures have ever done more damage in the first two months in the sport

than he has. I don't mean very few pitchers this year have done that much damage in two

months.

I mean, very few pitchers ever

in the history of the sport
