00:00I mentioned to you Skeens scoreless first inning he did allow a walk to Soto
00:10everybody wanted to see the strikeouts but he actually made real quick work I
00:14mean it was like a ground out a pop-up judge flew out the left and that was it
00:18Skeens his night was done but Scottie he absolutely loved the all-star experience
00:24probably the first pitch just like you know being out there I don't I don't
00:30think I blacked out when I was out there but I was pretty close it was cool to be
00:33on that mound you know just but but just being able to share this with my family
00:39and and have them out here and just being able to experience it I don't I
00:45don't know that there's one moment because I mean it was two days you know
00:49packed with moments I think that he's gonna have a lot of these moments in his
00:55career where I think the one that I want to see is them in the playoffs because
01:03of him he's gonna carry them on his shoulders to the postseason if he if he
01:09gets them into a wildcard this year I will keel over but at some point there
01:15is no way even Strasburg won a World Series if you're that great it's look
01:22this is no different than the conversation that we had about Connor
01:26McDavid at some point you have to win it you have to win the championship you
01:34have to do something magnificent to be considered such if this guy and I'm
01:40gonna put the label right on him if he's such a badass which I think he is I
01:45believe that he's gonna carry the the Pirates to the postseason and it may not
01:51be this year they have to have the stars have to line up but one of these years
01:57and I would think early in his career when he's young I truly believe that
02:03they have a chance with him to go to the World Series when you have a pitcher
02:09that great it's no different than the Yankees they have one great pitcher
02:15that's it they have one Garrett Cole he is great he won the Cy Young he is their
02:23only hope of going to the World Series they try to sell you all this other
02:27bullshack about this team every year it's no different than the Giants and
02:33Jets every year in August are going to the Super Bowl if you read the papers in
02:36New York they're both going all the way but you need to have a superstar a great
02:42player and you know McDavid didn't get it done
02:45McDavid didn't get it done I want to see Paul Skeens win the World Series for the
02:52Pittsburgh Pirates and until I see that life will have no meaning for me I have
02:57waited since 1979 you talk about suffering and then you with the bills
03:03you and I you know my teams you know I've been lucky with the Penguins fair
03:09enough but they've hit a they've hit a dry martini haven't they they don't
03:13matter now you see the Steelers don't win playoff games anymore and I'm waiting
03:19a lot of dealer glory you've seen the Steelers win you you know you have a lot
03:24of Super Bowls with the Steelers yeah so and they want obviously a very long time
03:31for the Pirates just like a lot it seems it's been a very long time since
03:36they've mattered that much
