Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” And that is the Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:16-17. 16 For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son so who so ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21 “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” Romans 10:9 “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Jesus Christ from the grave you will be saved.” God bless everybody that is reading this prayers for you all and your family in Jesus Christ name amen 🙏😊

Crazy that Shohei is allowed to play. MLB doesnt have many stars AT ALL. Thats why they're allowing him to continue even though he was betting. Other sports its a LIFETIME BAN.

Should've watched him in college. The College World Series game with LSU and Wake Forest with the schools' best pitchers going against each other. Skenes for LSU and can't remember the kid from Wake... but that was one of the best baseball games I've ever watched. Skenes is also a pretty cool dude.

The movement on his 4-seam is absolute filth, my goodness. All he has to work on is his pitch count, idk if he has gone more than 5 innings in his 4 starts. He has the potential to be an absolute star if he stays healthy. If only he graduated in 2022, my O's would have drafted him

Unfortunately there’s never been a a picture that had longevity that threw over 100 mph. And he’s won’t be the first. He has a chance to have a dominant career, but nonetheless, it will be short.

He won't. In order, Rotator cuff, then UCL(Tommy John), then the wrist. Every guy to ever throw that hard gets the trilogy. Remember Timmy Lincecum? Aroldis? Strasburg? It eats your arm. What about Nolan? 95-98 was his happy place. This guy has everything, Skenes, but he's overcooking the heater. It'll come back on him later. That, or he's just another android like Mahomes.

Skenes is super impressive, but you can't help but wonder how long it will be until he blows his arm out. You can only pitch 100mph consistently for so long before your arm explodes.

[@zeusthedrumlord547]

He looks perfectly comfortable doing it, the guy is huge.

There isn’t much difference between that and 96 mph. Obviously 100+ will wear down your arm faster, but it’s not like his arm is gonna fall off next week
