Skenes is fantastic, but it helps him to be pitching in an era where strikeouts occur all the time.
He was really great, and can really thread the needle. The umps helped him out greatly though. He was given just about every close pitch and given multiple pitches out the zone.
One that was really maddening was he threw 4 straight balls to Alvarez but 1 was called a strike. Of course then Alvarez grounds out on the 5th pitch. None of this is why the Mets lost but just annoying.
Skenes is clearly an ace and I hope the bucs keep him a long time. I have tried to watch most of his outings and he is just on another level.
Impressive. But remember that Jose Fernandez came up to the bigs with a coach-imposed 80-pitch limit. At the other extreme, we had Kerry Wood, who struck out 7 or more in 8 of his first 10 starts, because Dusty Baker pretty much let him loose to do whatever (and Wood’s career suffered because of it).
He’s a really good pitcher. He’ll make an awesome ACE for that IL team you see everyone getting traded to.
