DRAMA: Paul Skeens DELIVERS When Team USA Needs Him MOST vs Dominican Republic

Pittsburgh Pirates fans shine as Paul Skeens dominates a high-octane Dominican Republic lineup in the World Baseball Classic, propelling Team USA to a tense 2-1 victory and a spot in the final. Is Skeens the playoff ace the Pirates have been waiting for? Gary Morgan explores Skenes’ poise under playoff-style pressure, Oneil Cruz’s electrifying athleticism, and how players elevate their game when everything’s on the line. Odds for the Pirates are rising, but what’s behind the shift—can new signings like Marcel Ozuna and Ryan O’Hearn boost the lineup’s potential? Gary Morgan breaks down Cruz’s limited WBC at-bats and why maximizing him in spring training is crucial for the team’s ceiling.
