Bernie’s Redbird Review: In The Cardinals’ 2-1 Win At Pittsburgh, Lance Lynn vs. Paul Skenes Was Fantastic Theater.
Let us review some of the things that made the competition so special. 1) Lance Lynn, the old grizzly, held his own against the rookie Pittsburgh phenom Paul Skenes. There were a lot of pitcher pounds out there on the mound at PNC Park. A LOT of pitcher pounds. If we go by the combined weight of the two starting pitchers – as officially listed – Lynn + Skenes added up to 515 pounds. Lynn stands 6 feet, 5 inches tall. Skenes is 6 feet, 6 inches. I’d like to see them go at it in a UFC brawl. But Skenes is 15 years younger than the 37-year-old Lynn, so he gets the edge in stamina. But Lynn is more of a ruffian. He’d win a lot of battles in the parking lot of a roadhouse.
