I can end a win streak like no one’s business. One hitter thus far.

Skenes getting the call in PIT. Starting saturday vs the cubbies.
I tossed some lunch money on him for NLROY at +1000 right now on DK.
Can completely see him having a DeGrom like beginning of his career. Hopefully he has a coach also to show him DeGrom now and teach him how to pitch, not just throw 100 all the time.
Damn, I deleted Fanduel app off my phone because I had so many betting apps I was catching a lot of GA jokes as they filled an entire screen page. Accurate assessment, but we prefer to keep that to ourselves.
I hadn’t seen my girlfriends son in a few weeks as he was off at wrestling camps on the weekend when I was there. I got a hello and then the next words out of his mouth was ‘let’s bet some games tonight.’ I’ve created a monster because he collects when he wins and I eat it when he loses. I’m going to have to snag his Xbox one of these times and hand him a pawn ticket so he truly understands how this works.
He’s a natural prop under bettor with no encouragement from me. What kid when first introduced to gambling bets an under hits prop? A smarter one than me. He’s been a Pirates homer for all of his short life. Makes him instantly want to bet on failure and ineptitude.
China has a future protégée. I’m sure his mother won’t blame me.
I grabbed Skenes in fantasy last year for $1 (minimum bid) when he was drafted. I'm in a keeper league, so I could keep him for 2024. That was the good news.
The bad news was that it eats a full year of his fantasy contract, because I can't get anyone in "rookie" status (meaning you can keep them perpetually until they lose MLB rookie status) in the middle of the season.
So for Skenes to have any value for me, he had to come up fairly early this year. Which he is.
If Skenes can truly be an immediate star, the Pirates might finally have something between him and Jared Jones. And maybe Quinn Preister if he ever gets it together.
That offense though... that needs a lot of work.
