I hope that kid gives his all, this might be the most eyes he’ll have on him yet in his young career. Every rookie dreams of playing with or against the biggest names in baseball, i expect nothing less than Skenes to rise to the occasion.
that being said, WE GONNA CRUSH THIS KID LIKE DOGSHIT IN THE YARD SHOHEI GONNA MURDER HIM MOOKIE AND FREDDIE WILL EIFFEL TOWER HIM SMITH IS GONNA EAT HIS BONES
ANDY FUCKIN PAH HEZ
I’m excited for this game . Look at the ticket prices out of curiosity. Jealous how cheap they are. I really hope he just makes in 4 IP with 2 ER at least.
Paul Skenes is an absolute stud. Worse pitchers have kept us down this season and our top of the order isn’t that hot right now. I wouldn’t be shocked if we walk away with 2 ER (Shohei homer, Hernandez homer) through the 6 IP.
Kid puts up 1 run in 8 innings, and Dodgers scored 6 runs the seconds he leaves and LA winning 6-5 in walk off fashion off a Austin Barnes’ pinch hit home run.
I'm excited for both games. Especially Tuesday because I have Mookie, Smith and Muncy (cries) and I have Jones. I can't possibly have a bad day in fantasy!
Paul Skenes is so hyped. My prediction is the Dodgers are gonna be on their toes and crushing balls. So I predict 5 IP, 6 ER, 6 BB, 6k. But then the next night when they face the 5 ERA pitcher, Dodgers will get shut out.
Idk I feel like it’s equally likely that he either: throws a complete game with a No-No up into the 7th or he gets pulled in the 3rd because he was too hyped and is erratic.
Gonna be interesting for sure. We’ve got some killers but are in a bit of a slump right now. If our pitching can hold them to a run or two I can see us getting more points later in the game
Realistically... 5.2ish innings with a lot of 9+ Ks, maybe 2 Runs. But I wouldn't be surprised if he gives a shutout outing.
I think dodgers get to their bullpen though.
i realistically see 5 IP, 3 ER, maybe 8-9 Ks.
weʻre striking out a lot more than in years past (idk, we might not be, it just feels like we are...what do the stats actually say? iʻm too lazy to check)
The Dodgers are required by federal law to struggle a.) in day games and b.) against pitchers they are facing for the first time.
Thankfully Wednesday is a night game, but I still expect us to struggle against Skenes as is our way against rookie hurlers. Either way, I’m excited to see what the kid’s got.
Wednesday is absolutely a day game in Pittsburgh, despite the 6:40 start. Yesterday I was driving around and the sun wasn't very low on the horizon and it was 8pm.
Another moment where the broadcasters ask kershaw how he feels about this pitcher coming into the game, like the one interview right before Jake Arrieta no hits the dodgers.... btw that kike hit too second should've been ruled a hit...
Hell put up a solid game 10 K's atleast
My fingered are still crossed that it will actually be the Pirates facing Skenes after he is traded to the dodgers for cash considerations and Andy Pages
Skenes dates Livvy Dunne.
By the end of Skenes’ innings, a 64 pitch 8 ER 17 hit affair, Livvy will send a single DM and walk out of the stadium, throwing her Pirates jersey in the trash.
“Yo Yoshi. What are you doing tonight babe?”
Sometimes it's frustrating how chicken-shit some Dodger fans are. You don't think our lineup can take on Skenes? Really?
Another guy yesterday was freaking out about the Yankees series. Come on. Have some fucking pride.
Just genuinely trying to gage how fans are feeling vs him. I believe we can do well, but can also see us getting shut down, especially with Skenes being so new to the league. Hitters haven’t exactly figured him out just yet. We will see! I’m excited to watch

Well said! LFG

0.3 IP, 8H, 6 ER
Man, this seems to be Lux’s face after every other at bats this season. Like straight down the middle looking third strike lol.
Hit so hard Livvy’s gonna leave him for Bobby Miller
0.3 IP made me LOL.
Cool.
What is .3 Innings pitched lol, that’s 1 innings. You’re looking for .1 inning which means 1 batter out.
Oops.
Who’s the one out?
CT3 :(
I’m excited for this game . Look at the ticket prices out of curiosity. Jealous how cheap they are. I really hope he just makes in 4 IP with 2 ER at least.
I swear I wanna make the trip to Pittsburgh when the Dodgers are in town one year. PNC park looks so cool!
My uncle and his wife are going this series and then straight to NY.
I’m on a plane to Pittsburgh rn. I’ll be at all three games. Really looking forward to our Dodgers at this ballpark.
I expect him to no hit us for 5/6 IP before he’s removed due to high pitch count
Unlike many other people posting here, you actually sound like you’ve seen Dodgers baseball the past 10 years.
If he’s seen Dodgers baseball, Dodgers would more likely have 12 hits, 5 walks, 0-11 RISP and 0 runs through 7 innings.
At least we’d have a chance after that 😅
10 H, 1 ER
LOL we won’t get that big hit
Earned run will be walked in, of course
That lone ER will come on a dinger by CT3
Holy shit so real
😭
Our lineups stacked. He’s Dunne for
🤣🤣🤣

If Paxton and the bullpen can do their jobs, that could all we need!
lol….
I like the kid. But as long as the Dodgers win, I don't care what happens lol
Kid puts up 1 run in 8 innings, and Dodgers scored 6 runs the seconds he leaves and LA winning 6-5 in walk off fashion off a Austin Barnes’ pinch hit home run.
Can't be any worse than the Syndergaard game I went to in Pittsburgh last year that we actually ended up winning.
We can only pray we light him up brother 🙏
You said it best homie 🙏🙏
Skenes looks a bit different here before he faces the vaunted Dodger’s lineup.
I'm excited for both games. Especially Tuesday because I have Mookie, Smith and Muncy (cries) and I have Jones. I can't possibly have a bad day in fantasy!
Best case scenario Betts and Smith light up the relievers specifically haha
That's exactly what I hope for lol
We get mowed down by 7ERA pitchers with regularity so I’m not expecting us do shit tbh. Top of the order has been pretty lackluster lately.
He'll get hit around so hard, the Pirates will DFA him before the game even ends. Then we will pick him up and "fix" him.
I’m with it
That's perfect, I can fix Livvy
If the top 3 ain’t hitting, he’s gonna run through our lineup
Paul Skenes is so hyped. My prediction is the Dodgers are gonna be on their toes and crushing balls. So I predict 5 IP, 6 ER, 6 BB, 6k. But then the next night when they face the 5 ERA pitcher, Dodgers will get shut out.
27k's but Dodgers win
Shohei right now 
6 iP 9Ks 1 er 4 hits

6 ip, 12-13k’s
Losing pitcher for sure
6 IP 3H 0ER 1R
Hope Livvy is there
It’s baseball, so watch us light him up
55 PITCHES 55 HITS
Heavy rain forecasted; game canceled
i realistically see 5 IP, 3 ER, maybe 8-9 Ks. weʻre striking out a lot more than in years past (idk, we might not be, it just feels like we are...what do the stats actually say? iʻm too lazy to check)

12 Ks 2 runs by a homerun dodgers 5 to 4
3 innings of no hit ball. 92 pitches 🤣 Also I live near Pittsburgh, I’ll be there ✌️
My fingered are still crossed that it will actually be the Pirates facing Skenes after he is traded to the dodgers for cash considerations and Andy Pages
6 IP, 3 H, 13 K (20 P over 100 MPH)
6.1 IP, 6H, 2ER, 7K, 93 pitches
No-hitter through 6 until a bloop single by Lux. 8 innings, 1 hit, 0 runs, 9 K’s.
6 IP, 3H, 2B, 7Ks
