have to hope maybe skenes is a bit over amped facing the yanks in the YS so we can get to him early.

Gonzales gets a slider that stays waist high, outer 3rd, hits a fliner to deep left, Dominguez goes back, and catches, inning over.
Bottom 1, 0-0 20 pitches in the 1st for Gil.
Let's see if the Yanks are "up" for this challenge; or if Skenes can be overamped for his.

6'7" seems a bit too large to play SS...

Soto fouls off a sinker, 0-1 Change in the zone low/away, also fouled. Takes his timeout. Change tails low and outside, 1-2 100.7 FB tails outside, Soto checks his swing, hits the bat, goes foul. Perfect sinker starts at Soto makes him flinch, then hits the inside corner for the ꓘ. Uber-Maddux sinker there, 10 or more mph faster.

Judge takes a FB just outside, called strike 1 anyway, 0% on Gameday missed by 2 inches. Slider below and outside middle, taken, 0-2 FB up and away, he doesn't chase, 1-2 FB tailing inside at 99.5, fouled off. Slider breaks sharply outside by 4-5 inches, Judge chases for the K.
That tells you all you need to know, folks. Players may adjust to him, a bit, but not much. 1-2-3 with 2 K's for Skenes in the first, on 14 pitches. Top 2, 0-0 Palacios, Triolo and Grandal in the 2nd for the Pirates.
