The Pirates wasted a true masterpiece from Paul Skenes yesterday in Philly. The big fella threw an 8-inning complete game in a 1-0 loss to the Phillies. If he asked for a trade right now, how would fans feel about him? The guys think it’d be hard to blame him.

How would fans feel if Paul Skenes asked for a trade?

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan was live at the ballpark getting set for his duties tonight as the Pirates host the Reds. He gave the feel from the park. Dan gave his take on how Paul Skenes could be feeling as he continues to watch this team waste his talent. Could the Pirates be working themselves into a no-win situation if they don’t figure it out? Dan reacted to a report that Jared Jones could be going under the knife for Tommy John surgery, which would keep him out probably until the 2027 season. Dan doesn’t think you needed to squint too hard to see that coming, but either the team or player wanted to just hope the tendon would get better. He questioned when we would see Jones pitch again.
