00:00it is really one of the bigger questions and i'm sure it's just driving people crazy from a betting
00:04perspective is joe and i'd love your thoughts on this is that paul skeins what is going on with
00:10paul skeins like this is not two starts or three starts anymore paul skeins going back you know
00:16almost two months his era is like six so i i don't know it's a really perplexing situation i'm sure
00:23if the pirates had the answer they would give it they just seem to be giving the same answer every
00:27time which is that he's going to get right and he just never does no he doesn't and and the
00:33problem
00:34is and my fear for pirates fans is that they're going to look back on this season and when they
00:38don't make the playoffs craig they're going to look back at his starts and go my goodness a he's had
00:46some ridiculous blow-ups uh this year that just should not happen i mean he allowed i think what
00:5213 runs in 14 and a half innings would have combined 10 walks here at one stretch so
00:57yeah i i do not think control has been a little bit of an issue you and i have watched
01:03them pitch
01:03on in-game live we've covered it and it feels like either he's working on something or he's falling in
01:11love with a pit but everything seems to be over the plate and the hitters are making them pay for
01:18it
01:18but when you look at how many opportunities pittsburgh had with him on the mound this year to win games
01:24and they didn't uh and he was paul schemes but they couldn't hit i i think ultimately that's what
01:31is going to separate them from making a run at this and not and i it it's offense to me
01:38is the
01:38biggest problem you gotta win at least i i mean 70 percent of paul schemes and starts otherwise what
01:47are you doing you don't deserve to make the playoffs right no and they're pitching with jared jones and
01:51ash craft i mean their pitching is good enough to win and it just hasn't been the case and and
01:55so i
01:56think this is put up or shut up time this week here in uh south florida if they don't win
02:00this series
02:01there's nothing else to say they're going to be just so far behind
02:03there's nothing else to say they're going to be just so far behind
02:04there's nothing else to say they're going to be just so far behind
02:04there's nothing else to say they're going to be just so far behind
