00:00And Jack McMullin has called a couple of outings there in Indy, for one, Paul Skeens, who now
00:11makes his Major League Baseball debut on Saturday for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
00:16Is this an exclusive that we have Jack McMullin on this Thursday morning?
00:22Man, I mean, is it going to be, hey, I heard this Skeens guy is good.
00:26Tell me about him.
00:27No, man, like it's it's funny.
00:30A lot of people want to talk about Paul Skeens right now.
00:33And understandably so.
00:35If you haven't watched him throw.
00:36And I know that minor league baseball has kind of made that the free game of the week
00:40every time he throws.
00:42So a lot of people have already watched him throw and, you know, super thankful that they
00:45have because, you know, we've been able to been able to call that.
00:49But I mean, if you're watching him for the first time on Saturday and you didn't watch
00:53him at LSU.
00:56Start making popcorn.
00:57It feels like it is a show and it's more of a show than really any other pitcher in the
01:02game.
01:03He's sat 100.4 in an outing.
01:05It feels like he's having a bad day when he's sitting 99.7 with his four seamer.
01:10But his ability to mix in a great, great slider and a really good like high speed splitter
01:17at 95 and then a change up as well that can make people look so stupid because guys are
01:23out in front.
01:24I mean, I think we may be watching a tremendous career get going on Saturday against the Cubs.
