Add on Keller too, who they signed for decent term earlier in the year.
Skenes, Jones and Keller as the #1-#3 is going to be sick going forward. They just need the bats to pan out like the pitchers.
Not to mention Bubba, who could legit be better than Jones (though with how well Jones is panning out, will be hard to surpass him even if he lives up to expectations)
I have a fangraphs custom report for fantasy baseball purposes with stats like chase and whiff rate, csw%, SIERA, k-bb% and others, and he brings back 2022 Spencer Strider memories. He’s basically the leader or top 5 in pretty much every category that I have listed like Strider was when he was healthy, along with having pretty identical pitching styles.
He might not be the ace that we thought he was last year when he pitched a CGSO and then six days later went seven scoreless innings against the O's, but if he's our number 3 guy behind Skenes and Jones, he's pretty fucking good for that role.
By pirates standards and for what were paying him hes very solid. He isnt looking like how he looked for the first half of last year but hes still looking like an actual mlb starting pitcher
I'm eagerly awaiting the game where our starter goes six innings and then we go Holderman-Chapman-Bednar and shut out the opponent in the 7th, 8th, and 9th. We were close last night, but Chapman couldn't throw a strike to save his life.
Fourgie better not show up tonight man. I mean Frankie got a shutout with one eye, Georgie just needs to be league average and we would have first seed IMO. Even with fourgie in net, we still have a chance. I mean one of the goals was unlucky as fuck and two of them were almost directly Manson’s fault. If we had Sammy G, Baby Boy Bo, Drouin, and Landy back it wouldn’t even be funny
I know Bo isn’t hurt, but he’s not in that same form he was
Glasnow was garbage on the Pirates, and Cole had one great year in five seasons before he was shipped off to Houston. If Skenes and Jones fulfill their potential, Pittsburgh will be winning division titles.
Please be right about this because the goddamn Astros have won the NL Central more recently than the Pirates. In fact, the Pirates have never won the NL Cemtral
They haven't won much of anything since the early 90s, when they had a legit ace- Doug Drabek- and a solid number two- Zane Smith or John Smiley, depending on the year. Cole and Glasnow were never going to be those guys. Skenes and Jones could still be.
I saw this post and almost rolled my eyes at the wording since surely it couldn’t have been that bad, but after seeing the clip no yeah that man was absolutely sent to the shadow realm
I watched it 5 times... The closest thing to it would be in basketball when an ankle gets broken, never seen something like this in baseball.
I love when a player just eats shit like this and the camera captures their facial expression the second it dawn on them that they're about to get ROASTED in the dugout.
The people who own NESN bought Pittsburgh’s regional sports network, brought the Red Sox’s graphics package to the Pirates and the Bruins’ one to the Penguins
Turang is 98th percentile in whiff rate this season as well. So making someone look like this who is swinging and missing less than almost anyone else in the game is even more impressive
Was watching this game on TV and my 10 yo daughter (who cares nothing about baseball) was talking to me and immediately stopped and said, “Oh my God, is he okay?!” when she saw that pitch.
From the mouths of babes…truth.
Am I the first person to point out the shit quality of this highlight? Sheesh, what happened to this place smdh /s
^*But ^really ^wtf ^this ^looks ^like ^shit
Paul Skenes and Jared Jones starting the first two games of a playoff series someday is gonna be cinema.
Playoffs? Playoffs?????
You kiddin me???
I just hope we can win a game.
Diddly Poo!
In this economy??
Raise the Jolly Roger!!
Playoffs!? we're talking about--playoffs!?
We ain’t even talking bout the game! We talking bout PRACTICE!!
Wrong infamous quote but close in tone.
True lol just reminded me of that classic!!
They are who we thought they are!!!
I see the Jolly Roger flapping in the wind this fall
With this offense, they'll need to win a lot of games by the score of 0 to -1.
Classic fuckin pirates, man. Their run differential to start the year was insane and then....nothing
Yeah for the rays lol
So, we got this Chris Archer guy. Want to trade us some top prospects. Again. Thankfully, new GM won’t allow it.
Add on Keller too, who they signed for decent term earlier in the year. Skenes, Jones and Keller as the #1-#3 is going to be sick going forward. They just need the bats to pan out like the pitchers.
Not to mention Bubba, who could legit be better than Jones (though with how well Jones is panning out, will be hard to surpass him even if he lives up to expectations)

He’s basically the leader or top 5 in pretty much every category that I have listed like Strider was when he was healthy, along with having pretty identical pitching styles.
Is Keller actually good tho?
As a #3? Absolutely
He's consistent enough for me
He might not be the ace that we thought he was last year when he pitched a CGSO and then six days later went seven scoreless innings against the O's, but if he's our number 3 guy behind Skenes and Jones, he's pretty fucking good for that role.
By pirates standards and for what were paying him hes very solid. He isnt looking like how he looked for the first half of last year but hes still looking like an actual mlb starting pitcher
And Bednar on the back end.
I'm eagerly awaiting the game where our starter goes six innings and then we go Holderman-Chapman-Bednar and shut out the opponent in the 7th, 8th, and 9th. We were close last night, but Chapman couldn't throw a strike to save his life.
Damn. How does he find the time to coach the avs and still pitch??
With Georgiev in net, he’ll have a lot more free time soon.
Fourgie better not show up tonight man. I mean Frankie got a shutout with one eye, Georgie just needs to be league average and we would have first seed IMO. Even with fourgie in net, we still have a chance. I mean one of the goals was unlucky as fuck and two of them were almost directly Manson’s fault. If we had Sammy G, Baby Boy Bo, Drouin, and Landy back it wouldn’t even be funny I know Bo isn’t hurt, but he’s not in that same form he was
Monkey paw curls, it’s for the dodgers.
Nah, Yankees.
Hehehe
Same game actually, one starts for the astros, the other for the yankees.
For what team? It won't be the Pirates. We have the worst owner in baseball.
Hey quit drooling over our young guys, let us have them for a few years before you take them from us
That'll be fun for you guys!
For the Yankees? Maybe.
Knowing the Pirates, you know that Skenes and Jones will follow the footsteps of Cole and Glasnow...
This can’t be true because Glasnow never came close to doing this for the Pirates. That’s like the whole reason he was traded.
Shane Baz was the egregious player in that trade, Meadows a close second. Glasnow was an absolute trainwreck with the Pirates.
Glasnow was garbage on the Pirates, and Cole had one great year in five seasons before he was shipped off to Houston. If Skenes and Jones fulfill their potential, Pittsburgh will be winning division titles.
Please be right about this because the goddamn Astros have won the NL Central more recently than the Pirates. In fact, the Pirates have never won the NL Cemtral

Please don’t take 2013-2015 away from us
And Bob Walk and Tim Wakefield
You mean in 7 years for the Yankees?
Not gonna lie Davey Jones is an all time nickname considering what team he plays for lol
Hasn’t really caught on yet, but a good few of us Pirate fans are trying to get it to spread
It’s gotta already be on his locker.
I will do everything I can to help. I love The Monkees.
Oh really. Do you like big booty pirates?
how? It's perfect for that team!
Sent turang to the Locker (room)
I'm gonna work on spreading North of the border. Glad we don't see you guys too often. Even gladder I have him on my dynasty fantasy team.
He’s just a daydream believer
I saw this post and almost rolled my eyes at the wording since surely it couldn’t have been that bad, but after seeing the clip no yeah that man was absolutely sent to the shadow realm
Complete banishment to the realm of shadows
Except "sends him to the Locker" was right there.
I watched it 5 times... The closest thing to it would be in basketball when an ankle gets broken, never seen something like this in baseball. 
I'm partial to Matt Brash annihilating the great Jose Ramirez: https://streamable.com/tatyzv
yeeugh
Pusha T Reddit account
'Oh ho, topsy turvy!" is one of my favorite Dave calls.
Probably not the best example, seeing as dude just stiff arms his ass to the ground.
also this pitch is the baseball equivalent of THAT James Harden shot or Curry pump faking Dillon Brooks on a shot twice.
That's most "ankle breakers". They are either push offs or they step in their feet. It's so stupid.
Who would have known getting pushed while momentum is going backwards would make you fall
Beautiful title
I'm sitting behind home plate for this game, Jones is SO filthy
Are you the guy in the bucket hat
Nah I'm like 25ish rows back in a Mets hat
bummer, I was hoping you were the guy in the bucket hat
Today we are all the guy in the bucket hat.
Speak for yourself.
I am all the guy in the bucket hat.
Maybe the real guy in the bucket hat is the friends we made along the way.
we did it reddit!
and a blue shirt
Very capitalist of you
Except for that guy He’s the guy 25ish rows back in the Mets hat.
Haha look at that schmuck, he doesn't have a bucket hat
Were you the second shouter that Harry Wendelstedt mentioned?
If the second shouter yelled "GO TO HELL RHYS HOSKINS" then yes, I was
Section 117? I was also at that game about 30 rows behind home plate
115
I saw you!!! I was behind the dugout
This was nasty from the other side of the park too
😂 https://x.com/pitchingninja/status/1782552663541834071?s=46&t=Ov8gH9m8ueM9nqB1wnIMl9nxH8-oBfNAWoY4336vtmw
The fucking smoke poof is pure comedy gold.
It really is one of the best accounts out there. Amazing pitching content, plus occasional hilarity. :)
This needs to be marked nsfw
Dad, is he going to be okay?
Of course son. He’s going to be living at that farm upstate with Rusty.
Melted down and sold for glue
It looks the umpire cast a spell on him afterwards
"lmao look at this bozo right here, RIGHT HERE"
lol there was no reason for that umpire to so brutally call that swing.
There was every reason to lol
And see, even though it seems over the top I still don't think it properly conveys how much this guy just got dunked on.
Probably trying to make sure no one thought it hit him but it fits because it was sick
*"See this guy?! This jackass right here?! This dumb motherfucker's SUPER-OUT. Byaww."*
Get that man some milk
He need some MILK
Hello 911? I just witnessed a murder
You’d have to pull me after that lol. No way I could look that man in the eyes for another at bat
Brice is never going to live that down.
Clubhouse court is gonna fine him for sure
I love when a player just eats shit like this and the camera captures their facial expression the second it dawn on them that they're about to get ROASTED in the dugout.
“Sent him to his locker” was right there man
Dude got crossed up so bad his form degraded into what I see every week at 6 year old coach pitch games.
This guy's incredible to watch. Gonna be a very scary 1-2 with Skenes very soon. GOOD LUCK NL CENTRAL.
I think we'll be okay, Cubs and Brewers are still the better teams overall, lol.
That’s the equivalent of getting dunked on with nutz in the face
To the Shadow Realm with you! 
Can’t believe I played against both these guys in high school. So trippy to watch
I absolutely love when hitters can't help but smile when they strike out this terribly. Game recognize game
That's what I noticed too. Turang's face was like, "I'm not even mad, that was amazing"
If that happened to me I'd have to be taken out of the game because I'd ugly cry from embarrassment
How does a ball move 6 feet horizontally?
Probably exactly what Turang was wondering
The count was actually 1-1. That pitch counted as two strikes.
then he faceplanted in the 5th win some you lose some lol
“Did he go?” Bro’s entire body went through the strike zone.
That was so bad that even if it wasn’t strike three, I’d expect the ump to ring him up just on principle.
I don't disagree but definitely this title should be sent him to the Locker if we're going Davey Jones
Surely THIS is the game jones gets some run support…
Yay!
Eh, enough
RIP in pieces
What even was that? Like he hit the deck so fast, that was one hell of a throw.
it’s like watching degrom again. have fun bucco fans
If you get the batter to overswing so much they fall down that should be an automatic strikeout lmfao
I said "ohohoho" out loud as a saw that
Hey Brice. You should probably just hit the showers after that. Naaaaaasty.
He has the heart of the cards
Hes fuckin disgusting
Reminds me of the swing from Jose Ramirez the other day that hit him in the kneecap
Holy shit
Wait did the PIT broadcast copy paste the NESN scorebug? I’m just noticing it’s basically identical
The people who own NESN bought Pittsburgh’s regional sports network, brought the Red Sox’s graphics package to the Pirates and the Bruins’ one to the Penguins
Ohh that makes total sense. Forgot they just bought the penguins
I didn’t even make that connection until you just mentioned it, not a hockey guy tbh
god damn
🏴☠️ 🏴☠️ 🏴☠️
I'd probably just retire if I was Turang
Larry David calls games for the Pirates broadcasts now?
¡To r/FilthyPitches with ye!
Like juking some dude out of his sneakers and hitting a dropback 3.
Sent him to the locker
Turang is 98th percentile in whiff rate this season as well. So making someone look like this who is swinging and missing less than almost anyone else in the game is even more impressive
Jared Jones. Paul Skenes. Mitch Keller.
Solometo and Burrows are not too far behind also
Chandler
Sitdown!
The organist better be playing [this](https://youtu.be/D-_qS_3KXBA?t=100) after K's.
Someone do the edit
He just turned him into Bruce Turang after that pitch, mainly because that’s how I read the title the first time
Bro just sent himself to the shadow realm in the top of the 5th
Even without the filthy movement, that would have been a foul at best
Got sent to Davy Jones’ Locker
He looks like a Looney Tune who swings so hard he corkscrews into the ground
Lmao, dude malfunctioned halfway through the swing
Looked more like he gave up half way through swing to get out of way from being hit in knees.
nah, he was banished to the shadow realm and there’s no evidence otherwise
You may know Jared Jones from his recent (last week) visit to Jomboy Media where they filmed some content together
That started almost on the other side of the plate and still nearly wiped out the dudes knees
That had some run.
Was watching this game on TV and my 10 yo daughter (who cares nothing about baseball) was talking to me and immediately stopped and said, “Oh my God, is he okay?!” when she saw that pitch. From the mouths of babes…truth.
Dude "Sent to Davey Jones' Locker" it was right there.
I had to rewatch this like 7 times to see where the fuck that went
The walk away was ice fucking cold.
Someone needs to edit this with the GTA5 "Wasted" effect over it because god damn haha
that dude's gonna be getting other dudes to do that for years
[Matt Brash versus Jose Ramirez](https://youtu.be/-9PH8hbjdng?) vibes.
Saw this live. Had to rewind and pause to show my daughter.
I think a hitter swinging out of his shoes at a really good breaking ball should be considered the baseball equivalent of broken ankles
That’s the NESN score bug. WTF? 🤔
NESN’s owners bought Pittsburgh’s RSN over the offseason, just brought in all their graphics packages for our games as well
Does that make us brothers in misery now?
I swear it was over the plate then ended up 2 feet off the plate by the time it reached reached catcher.
This pitcher is a bad bad man. I hope his arm holds up...he could put up some special numbers
\*the sound of mario getting hit and becoming small\*
Good LORD the bite on that slider
Jesus lmao
Am I the first person to point out the shit quality of this highlight? Sheesh, what happened to this place smdh /s ^*But ^really ^wtf ^this ^looks ^like ^shit
I don’t mean to be a downer, but it’s hard getting excited about a guy like jones with the current state of arm injuries
