I watched some of Paul Skenes' game last night, and it's insane to me that he hasn't been called up yet. Some of his stats this season:
6 games
23.0IP
0.39 ERA
0.87 WHIP
41K
.171 opponent batting average
He has allowed ONE earned run in 23 innings. He didn't have a single 23.0 inning stretch at LSU where he allowed only one run, and that was against college hitters, he's doing this against AAA hitters. He's only gotten better since leaving and it's such a shame the Pirates are waiting until June 1st to exercise some contract rule that'll keep him on his rookie deal a year longer (I don't know much about the MLB, but that's what my friend told me).
Luckily, we're only about month away from when he'll likely be called up.
