88 mph vs 100 mph is crazy 👌

Skenes was dominant today

We can see Paul Skenes having a very bright future in MLB if he continues to have great performances like this one today.

... only his second Major league appearance... he's gonna be HUGE

This guy is something special. Stay healthy get paid.

the Pirates have raised the Jolly Roger in Wrigley Field 🏴‍☠🏴‍☠🏴‍☠ This Skenes will have a bright future

Dude is a menace on the bump..

Skenes reminds me of Tim Lincecum. Hope this dude can stay healthy and help the pirates return to relevance, they got a solid young team over there

Paul Skenes is 🔥🔥🔥

Man as a pirates fan I haven’t enjoyed a game of baseball as much as did this one in a long long time 🟡⚫️🟡

For a guy throwing 100mph, I respect his ball command

Paul Skenes looked amazing! He continues to shine on the mound in his first 2 starts since calling up

If Paul and Jared Jones was on the Yankees or dodgers it would take over the sports world

I gotta wonder if Skenes will be the first starting pitcher ever to record 21 strikeouts. Imagine him pitching against the White Sox this year 😳

The last pitch of the first strikeout was probably the nastiest pitch ive ever seen...

Skenes is INTENSE

I’m a cardinals fans and when I tell you this is one of the most exciting players to watch I mean it!

Paul Skenes raise the flag for the Pirates!!!

Pirates could sweep the Cubs

Please, you gods of baseball, let Skenes have a long and injury-free career.

Absolute LIT performance. Any win vs the sCrUBS is awesome!

Imagine getting 11 K’s and no hitting 6 innings just for your bullpen to throw it away on the first batter faced

Where are all the cubs fans from the IG comments? LMAOOO

Paul Skenes is a generational talent.

Unbelievable to pull this dude during a no hitter. What has happened to the game I love

God bless that Arm 🙏

His 4 seam looks like a cutter on top of the velo 😂 it has some run.

Incredible! Skenes for President.

Can you imagine in the early 2000s have angry people would be if a coach took out a pitcher throwing a no hitter. I understand developing your pitchers and having a pitch count but damn

Wonder where he will end up. If the great pitching continues the Pirates will just trade him away. And it's a shame because they've made good draft pick recently

Imanaga is the only reliable SP for the Cubs.

The movement on his fastball should be illegal

To the window, to the wall Til they whiff on the fastball Til all the cubbies fall Paul Skenes, Skenes MF Paul Skenes, Skenes GODDAMN

GG Pirates 🏴‍☠️

Baby Gronk is punching air rn

Skenes will be the new Nolan Ryan, I hope 🙏🏼❤️

Hendricks is done. Professor has reached retirement time

SKENES 🔥🔥🔥

Chopped down those batters like weeds😮

Just think how Pirates management is salivating at the prospect of trading Skenes.

Skenes is pretty good

those fast balls got good movement

Counsell should be fired for continuisly starting Hendricks, and him still being on the team is gross negligence

Tommy John surgeons are lining up at his door now...😂😂

Raise the Jolly Roger! 🏴‍☠️☠️🏴‍☠️☠️🏴‍☠️☠️🏴‍☠️

This kid is SPECIAL!

Come face Shohei, Skenes. It'll be hype!

Ouch Skenes was nasty

What is a realistic countdown until Skenes wears the Yankee pinstripes?

GO CUBS! beat the Pirates, and for once, Go Astros! beat the Brewers, any team that faces the Brewers at this point. I want to see the Cubs go up to 1st.

Oh No! Skenes made Ian Happ look silly.

This would be a 'Cinderella' start for the kid if he wasn't in Pittsburgh - unless of course the owners wake up before they not only lose a team-full of young talent, but their brilliant GM Ben Cherington as well, and it all becomes just another flash-in-the-pan (if you could even call it that in the end). As a Bucs fan since '69, and seeing all the success in the '70's, all I see now is more of the same. Why? Because now, even though we've drastically improved the players on the team, the other half - coaching - has been left behind in the dust.

this is BS, the Cubs just swept the Astros, now the Cubs need the Astros to help them out by beating the Brewers, and of course the Cubs will have to do their part and beat the Pirates from here on out in order to ascend to 1st place in the NL Central division.

6 innings No hitter!!!!! wow!!!!!!

I want O Cruz on my team and I don't even play baseball

Lol damm where are the commenters from his first start?? Their wifi must be down till skeens gives up a run 😂

Gotta start to question if Kyle is MLB worth anymore

Skenes is so filthy.

Other teams need to watch out for this guy... he's not messing around

Almost Every top prospect pitcher have a good start in MLB, I hope He became a star but don’t jump in the bandwagon, MLB players and coaches are looking at him and the more he pitches more tape and info they will have in their hands to work agains him, remember the way he’s been praise now that he’s good and be patient with him when he gets humbled.

Skenes will have a no hitter by the end of this year

How fast did Skenes throw? I feel like at some point one of the announcers would've mentioned it.

What is going on with the cubs?

But when is Skenes gonna need Tommy John?

Millitary wears for the Cubs and Pirates.

誠也休みかぁ😮

🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🔥🔥🔥

Watched these highlights for Livvy and she wasn't even there.

Cubs got some growing to do..

마지막공까지 101마일.... 역대급선수다😮

Skenes for ROY

Damn I wish we had skenes on our team lol

Cubs vs Pirates

Now I just need him traded to Atlanta

Skenes’ elbow will come apart within 2 seasons.

why’d they take him out? something with the pitch count?

Spoiler blocker

As a Pirates fan, I’m excited to see Paul Skenes dominate for bigger, richer teams for years to come 😭

more high fastballs

Bro almost is a non hitter why they get him out of the mount bro

Shota talent is being wasted with the Cubs really , not making big runs at all !

Cachorros ❤

stud

HI

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Cubs are gonna cub. 😂😂😂

trade bait

FE en DIOS y en ti mismo siempre DIOS es AMOR ❤❤❤

GOD is LOVE ❤❤❤

Nails on the chalkboard

FAKE FAKE EXCITEMENT BY THE ANNOUNCER. these editted highlights remind me of the MASH episode of the surgeons broadcasting a baseball game over the PA system using sound effects and Klinger announcing

Man, I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but it kinda is unfortunate that Skenes is on the Pirates instead of a contender... he's fun to watch.

I can't wait to see Imanaga and Suzuki play. That's all I want to see the Cubs do.😒

It is just 6 innings though...Skenes. It is obvious over reaction. They are desprate for a superstar but wait...

Dd

Yankees : Skenes😋

he's going to have TJ surgery by the end of the season

Skenes is gonna need Tommy John surgery real quick with that arm

jesus christ

I'm sorry, but Sasaki is better.
