The Pittsburgh Pirates are struggling, with ace pitcher Paul Skenes underperforming this season, holding a 9-11 record and a 3.88 ERA. In a recent game against the Miami Marlins, Skenes was pulled after just 65 pitches, raising questions about his effectiveness and possible fatigue or mechanical issues. His velocity has significantly dropped, averaging a career low of 95.7 mph, and he has not registered pitches over 97 mph this season. With the team’s playoff hopes dwindling, some suggest it may be time to shut down Skenes for the remainder of the year to address his shortcomings.
