Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes is acclimating himself well to the city of Pittsburgh.
As the Pittsburgh Pirates' season winds down, the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to begin theirs on Sunday when they go on the road to face the Atlanta Falcons at 1 p.m. ET. Skenes made an appearance on Pardon My Take, a podcast for Barstool Sports.
"That's going to lead the 7 o'clock news in Pittsburgh," Katz said. "Paul Skenes says he's always been a Steelers fan."Katz's co-host, "PFT Commenter," then joked that all Pittsburgh sports fans view their team as the Steelers version of their respective sport. Skenes noted the amount of Steelers fans who attend Pirates games and how they appear from his point of view.
Skenes has been one of the few bright spots in the second half of the season, as he's currently 9-2 with a 2.13 ERA and in the thick of the National League Rookie of the Year race.
