Paul Skenes Just Bullied the Rockies

North Shore Nine — Wed, 13 May 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Paul Skenes delivered another dominant start for the Pittsburgh Pirates, striking out 10 Colorado Rockies hitters over eight scoreless innings while allowing just two hits. Alex Stumpf breaks down why this may have been Skenes’ best start of the season, how his pitch mix helped him overwhelm Colorado, and why Don Kelly made the right call by not sending him back out for the ninth inning.

The discussion also gets into Skenes’ pursuit of his first true nine-inning complete game, how the Pirates should manage his workload, and why keeping him fresh for the full season matters more than chasing an individual stat in mid-May.

Pittsburgh Pirates history is being rewritten as Paul Skenes dazzles with pure dominance—three near no-hitters in four starts and a 1.97 ERA.

Morgan spotlights the Pirates’ explosive offensive turnaround, crediting key additions like Brandon Lowe and phenom Konnor Griffin for propelling the lineup from MLB’s basement to elite status. The conversation heats up around Nick Gonzalez’s clutch hitting and Brandan Bidiow unique ascent into the bullpen, potentially transforming Pittsburgh’s relief corps.

Paul Skenes Is The Best Pitcher On The Planet

North Shore Nine — Wed, 13 May 2026 02:02:00 GMT

Paul Skenes is no longer just the Pirates’ ace. He might be the best pitcher alive.

Paul Skenes delivered another ridiculous performance for the Pittsburgh Pirates, going eight dominant innings and continuing to build a real case as the best pitcher in baseball. DiNardo and Doug break down Skenes’ latest masterpiece, his absurd season numbers, why his efficiency matters, and how his presence changes the entire outlook for the Pirates.

They also discuss a strong day across the Pirates organization, including Jared Jones throwing four shutout innings, Justin Garcia’s monster game, Murf Gray staying hot, Oneil Cruz continuing to produce, and why this team suddenly feels a whole lot more legit.

How can the Pirates fix their bullpen? Gregory Soto a pleasant surprise? Get Dennis Santana right?

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — Tue, 12 May 2026 14:30:00 GMT

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley and columnist Noah Hiles break down the team's bullpen struggles and which pitchers' stock is rising and whose is falling. This show is presented by FanDuel.

Which pitchers have been solid out of the 'pen? How can manager Don Kelly continue to maximize his three lefties — Gregory Soto, Mason Montgomery and Evan Sisk? How can they help get Dennis Santana back to where he needs to be? And what options do they have in middle relief after some of the struggles of Justin Lawrence and others? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

Seth Hernandez Is Already Forcing the Pirates’ Hand

North Shore Nine — Tue, 12 May 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Seth Hernandez is wasting no time making noise in the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system. After dominating in Low-A with eye-opening strikeout numbers, an ERA under one, and three secondary pitches producing massive whiff rates, Hernandez has already earned a promotion to High-A Greensboro.

On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down why Hernandez’s stuff has been so overwhelming, what makes his fastball-changeup-slider-curveball mix so advanced, and why Greensboro could be the next real test in his development. He also looks at whether Hernandez could follow a Konnor Griffin-style rise through the system and potentially reach Altoona before the end of the year.

URGENT: The REAL REASON Even Elite Arms Like Paul Skenes May LOSE the Strike Zone Suddenly? | Pittsburgh Pirates Podcast

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 12 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Why do even elite pitchers suddenly lose command, and can throwing harder actually hurt your game? Former Pittsburgh Pirates coach Eric Minshall explains the science behind pitching meltdowns, debunks myths about "reaching back" for extra velocity, and reveals how subtle changes—like the slide step—can shake a young arm’s confidence. What separates Paul Skenes and Bubba Chandler from the pack, and how can pitchers effectively control the running game in a post-pitch clock era?

Host Gary Morgan and Eric Minshall unpack the mental and mechanical battles behind the mound, from MLB starter velocity strategies to injury risks lurking behind max-effort throws. Key insights include optimal pitch sequencing, the evolution of the strike zone, and how teams calculate safe innings jumps for prospects like Paul Skenes and Braxton Ashcraft. Development philosophy, the art of pitch tunneling, and the realities of player promotion for standouts like Seth Hernandez round out this inside look at Pittsburgh Pirates pitching.
