Despite strong pitching, Pirates' poor offense and 12-26 start raise concerns about another losing season and missed playoff window.
Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes, despite a dominant 2.03 ERA and 209 strikeouts, says the team’s 2025 season risks being wasted if it doesn’t learn from another last-place finish in the NL Central.
The Pirates, with the worst offense in baseball and a 12-26 start that led to a managerial change, remain on track for a losing season and a 10th straight playoff drought.
Skenes, a likely Cy Young contender with a 10-10 record, stresses the need for accountability, internal change, and continuous improvement, urging players and staff to act now rather than wait for the offseason.
He praises the team’s young pitching core but warns that past optimism hasn’t led to results.
With Skenes’ long-term future uncertain due to his rising value and the team’s limited payroll, the Pirates face pressure to make bold moves to build a competitive roster before his window closes.
A pesar del fuerte lanzamiento, la ofensiva pobre de los Piratas y el inicio 12-26 plantean preocupaciones sobre otra temporada perdedora y la ventana perdida de los playoffs.
