Langford with a walkoff grand slam to beat the Yankees last night.

The Yankees closer has blown something like 12 saves. They blew it by not getting Finnegan at the deadline.

No skenes for the Nats in the upcoming series vs Pittsburgh. Pirates have gone to a six man rotation.

no sense of drama. Skenes vs Crews would have been worth watching.

Didn't that article about Skenes say when Skenes faced LSU when he was with the Air Force, Skenes smoked them except Crews who took him deep?

Skenes wins RoY. Pittsburgh gets another pick next year.

OK, Crews. It's your turn in 2025.

They do not I believe. They waited too long to call Skenes up. Skenes also earns a full year of service time.

You are right. So the Pirates essentially gained no benefit for keeping him down until May. Merrill was eligible for the bonus pick but finished 2nd (which IIRC means San Diego gets extra bonus pool money).
