| 9/26/24 | The Pittsburgh Pirates brought Paul Skenes along slowly. The star rookie pitcher now understands why. Paul Skenes didn't love the plan the Pittsburgh Pirates laid out for him in the spring, the one designed to bring the most talented pitching prospect in a generation along slowly and protect the right arm on which so much relies. Looking back after a dazzling season in which the 22-year-old rookie somehow surpassed even the most outsized expectations — starting the All-Star Game, flirting with the occasional no-hitter, holding his own against the best in the game and making the Pirates matter in a way they haven't in nearly a decade — Skenes admits the decision to have him begin his first full professional season in Triple-A so he could build his endurance up gradually was the right call. “I don't know if there can be a perfect plan, but it was just about perfectly put together,” Skenes said Wednesday. While Skenes is looking forward to his final start of the season when the Pirates visit Yankee Stadium this weekend, he's already thinking about what awaits in 2025, when the training wheels might come off, or at least be loosened considerably.

| 9/24/24 | Pirates Have Obvious Positives, and Setbacks. The book on the Pittsburgh Pirates' season is all but written with six games remaining and their playoff hopes well out the window.
