Skenes & Team USA Beats the Dominican - Now the Pirates Have A Decision

Paul Skenes took the mound on the international stage and gave Team USA exactly what it needed in a 2-1 win over the Dominican Republic, and now we’ve got plenty to dig into on Bucco Brew. We’re breaking down Skenes’ outing, what stood out from his 4.1 innings, and what it meant to watch Oneil Cruz and Gregory Soto on the other side of a game that felt loaded with Pirates ties. We’ll also touch on David Bednar’s scoreless inning and the bigger picture of how Pirates players and former Pirates showed up in a massive WBC moment. Then we shift back to Bradenton, where the fifth starter battle keeps getting more interesting. Jose Urquidy had a rough day, Mike Clevinger is somehow still in the mix, Hunter Barco continues to make his case, and Carmen Mlodzinski is becoming harder and harder to ignore. After Alex Stumpf’s recent breakdown on Off Beat, is Carmen starting to feel like the real answer? *Get your tickets to the April 18th game in the NS9 Group: https://www.gofevo.com/event/Northshore9tailgate0418 Use Promo Code NS930 for 30% off your first order at https://www.defer.coffee Use Promo Code NS9 for 30% off your first order at https://www.gritily.com Use Promo Code NORTHSHORENINE for $20 off your first order at https://www.seatgeek.com LIKE and SUBSCRIBE with NOTIFICATIONS ON if you enjoyed the show!
