00:00at the lineup. Yeah, there are no breaks there. There's no free outs. I mean, it is the all-star

00:08game. But yeah, looking forward to attacking them each head on. It's going to be cool.

00:13Yeah, you better believe it. And look, who knows? Kwan's a great hitter. Henderson, Soto,

00:23Judge. I want to see if he gets out of it in three batters or is he going to face Judge too.

00:33I want to see that. That's really, to be honest with you, the only reason for me to watch the

00:40game at all. Like, I love baseball and I love the Pirates and the Yankees, but I don't care

00:47about anything in this game whatsoever, other than Paul Skeens. Like, I have been clamoring

00:52for this guy to start for a month and saying to you that he should be the starter in the

00:58all-star game. The next thing I'm going for is him to, which he's already done, one rookie of

01:03the year. And then I want him to win the Cy Young. And then I want the Pirates to get a wild card

01:08because of him, by himself. Because the bottom line is, he's the reason. If they make a wild

01:15card, he's the reason. And I'll give Reynolds credit. His bat on both sides of the ball,

01:19he's been like a 280 hitter, driving in all these runs, hitting home runs from both sides of the

01:23play. Those two guys. Jared Jones has good stuff, but he hasn't dominated anyone. Helen Keller has

01:32been way better than Jared Jones. Now, the kid from Whittier, California, Jones is a great pitcher,

01:36but he got injured. So we're worried about him already. It's really been Skeens and Reynolds

01:42that have carried the Pirates. So for me watching them in the all-star game is the only reason to

01:46watch.
