Hello and welcome to the Pirates Fan Forum here on DK. Pittsburgh Sports Podcast Network. Listen, the shutout club is the name of this episode.

We almost had a second straight until Dowery Moret had to close this one out.

But either way, Jim, the Dodgers got swept out of pnc park by the lowly

pittsburgh pirates 3333 million dollars taken down by 87 god damn right i'm proud how do you feel man

yeah you know um more of this uhekyll and Hyde team, right?

When they're at home, they look like they can play with anybody.

You know, and then the road, they're way under 500.

And I mean, way under 500.

But yeah, man, like, sleeping the Dodgers hasn't happened in over 10 years in Pittsburgh so and they

they they uh they almost kept them scoreless in the last two games so what was what's there

complaint about what did you think of paul skeins tonight man i mean he's under two on the ERA now, 1.9, 6 innings, 8 strikeouts, dominant. I mean, just dominant performance. He's the Cy Young, bro, unless he, like, stubs a toe big time on the way down, right?

Yeah, I mean, you're talking, what, 20 some games left i don't know what's he have even like three maybe three or four starts um he'd have to he'd have to do

something he's yet to do which is pitch poorly yeah yeah pitch poorly in like two, three or four games. And even then,

you know, it's funny you watch him. And I think you'll know what I'm getting at when I say this,

Gary. It's like he almost looks great. He almost makes great seem boring like that's how good that that's how good

it is and it's not boring but you know what i'm saying like i do it's so accustomed to it and he

just keeps doing it um it's like nothing we've ever seen right i mean it's really kind of otherworldly to watch

and i watched him tonight and i'm just watching him struggle like hell at a place some of his

pitches especially his sweeper was like hanging up on him right and and it was frustrating him but he just

like gets mad and just throws one of those fastballs he can always go back to that fastball you know he

he can always go back and pinpoint that and it's enough most of the time and it's crazy how often

he just falls back on that.
