“You Pit” Pit “in Pittsburgh,” a person wrote at Tiktok in response to one of her videos from Great American Ballpark.
Dunne replied, “You would also break a sweat on being a pirates -fan.”
There is a core of truth as pirates have not exactly had the best seasons recently. The pirates are 70-90 this season and have not played playoffs since the 2015 season.

Skenes has been one of the few bright spots for the pirates in the last two seasons. He was 2024 National League Rookie of the Year and is a challenger to the National League Cy Young Award this season.
He has 216 strikes and a 1.97 era in 32 matches. However, he was 10-10 when Pirates struggled to find run support for him.
“I’m actually worse than I was last year,” said Skenes. “It was 1.96 last year. I’m 1.97 this year. I just have to be better. No, it’s cool. I’m not coming into the year with any numeric goals.”

During the match against Reds, the pirates announced that he put the mark for most strikes in a single season of justice. Bob Veal and Oliver Perez each had several strikes in a single season.
