“There’s a new kid in town. Everybody’s talkin’ ’bout the new kid in town.”
The Pirates’ Paul Skenes, the first overall pick in the 2023 draft, made his MLB debut at home against the Cubs and the 21-year-old allowed three runs before he was pulled after four frames.
So slightly better than Caitlin Clark’s WNBA debut, although Caitlin drew a few more viewers.
The 34-year-old Kyle Hendricks has pitched 1,475 innings and has seen more hits-and-runs than Times Square.
Hendricks has yet to win a game after starting six this season but he limited the Bucs to one run on two hits over five innings in the Steel City.
Play the kid or the cagey vet?

$50 on the Cubs.
This one was over a couple of minutes after the national anthem was played. Anthony Volpe launched a leadoff home run and the Yanks went on to spank the Twins 5-0.
Clarke Schmidt scattered three hits over eight dominant innings.
Winner. Down -664 whiteyfords.
