The Pittsburgh Pirates are being brought into a situation outside of their sport.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates are being tossed into the fire as their in-city team, the Steelers, are facing plenty of backlash for how they handled their former quarterback, Kenny Pickett's career.
One former NFL general manager is comparing the situation to the Pirates and how the team is dealing with the quick success of rookie pitcher Paul Skenes. Skenes started the All-Star game at just 22 years old and is heading into the back half of the season with a 1.90 ERA and 89 strikeouts. "This is … maybe the one time you might say the Pirates’ front office really got it right and the Steelers’ front office didn’t really have a plan,". "Everything that the Pirates did with Skenes led him to what he did last night. Now, Skenes had to actually go out there and perform. But they put the plan in place … not rushing him, making sure he was doing the right thing”. That even includes, he noted, pulling Skenes early out of a potential no-hitter.
Skenes is helping the Pirates push toward the playoffs as the team sits .500 and 1.5 games back from the final Wild Card spot during the All-Star break. The team has plenty to continue building from, but Whaley sees the building blocks there - unlike those with the Steelers.
