Episode Details

The Arizona Diamondbacks knew they were in for a challenge with Paul Skenes on the mound Wednesday, but the Pirates’ ace was even more dominant than expected. Skenes held Arizona to just two hits over seven shutout innings as the D-backs dropped a tight one-run battle to Pittsburgh. We break down Michael Soroka’s impressive outing as he matched Skenes pitch-for-pitch and gave Arizona every chance to win despite the lack of offense. We also discuss the D-backs’ aggressive approach early in counts against Skenes, whether it was the right strategy, and why the lineup had no answers all night long. Plus, we dive into ESPN naming the biggest concern surrounding this team moving forward and officially welcome a brand new co-host to the show.
