Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes is calling for urgency from his team following the firing of manager Derek Shelton amid a poor 12-26 start to the season. Skenes emphasized the need for the team to define their goals and grow, stating that without improvement, the season would be considered a failure. Despite his impressive performance with a 2.77 ERA and 47 strikeouts, the Pirates are currently on a seven-game losing streak, sitting last in the NL Central and significantly behind the division leaders and wild-card contenders.
