Alright, let’s gab a bit about this Paul Skenes fella and that Cy Young thing. Folks keep blabberin’ about it, so I figured I’d chime in, you know, give ya my two cents.

Paul Skenes, this young whippersnapper, just got drafted not too long ago, seems like yesterday. Folks are sayin’ he’s some kinda big deal pitcher. They drafted him first overall, which gotta mean somethin’, right? I mean, I ain’t no baseball expert, but even I can see that’s a pretty big deal. They call him a “righty,” which I guess means he throws with his right hand. Makes sense, most folks do, I reckon.
Now, this here Cy Young Award, that’s supposed to be for the best pitchers, or so I hear. And this Skenes kid, he’s already up there in the votin’, finished third, they say. That’s mighty impressive for a youngster, I tell ya. Makes you wonder how good he’ll be when he gets older, if he ain’t already at the top, you see.
- He got this Rookie of the Year thing too.
- Sounds like he’s winnin’ all sorts of awards.
- Good for him, I say.
- Hard work pays off, that’s what my pappy always told me.
They say he’s somethin’ special, this Skenes fella. Reminds me of them fellas back in the day, you know, the ones everyone talked about. This boy, he’s pitchin’ and people are takin’ notice. Heard tell he’s got a real fast arm, throws that ball like a rocket. Must be eatin’ his Wheaties, that’s for sure.
Now, they mentioned some other fellas, names I ain’t never heard before. Said somethin’ about winnin’ Rookie of the Year and MVP in the same year. That sounds like a heck of a thing to do. And then there’s this other fella, won Rookie of the Year and Cy Young in the same year. Valenzuela, they called him. Guess he was a big shot back in the day. This Skenes kid, maybe he’ll be like that, winnin’ all sorts of awards.
This “Fernandomania” thing, whatever that was, sounds like it was a big to-do. Folks gettin’ all worked up over a baseball player. Happens all the time, I guess. People always need somethin’ to cheer for, somethin’ to get excited about. Maybe this Skenes kid, he’ll start his own “Skenes-mania.” You never know.

They say this Valenzuela fella, he pitched a shutout on openin’ day. That means nobody scored on him, I think. That’s pretty good, right? Keepin’ the other team from scorin’, that’s the whole point of pitchin’, ain’t it? This Skenes kid, I bet he’s got some shutouts too. Gotta have ’em if you wanna win that Cy Young thing, I reckon.
This whole baseball business, it’s kinda confusin’ to me. All these numbers and stats and whatnot. But I can tell you this, this Paul Skenes, he’s somethin’ special. Folks are talkin’ about him, and that usually means somethin’. He’s young, he’s got a good arm, and he’s winnin’ awards. Sounds like he’s got a bright future ahead of him. Maybe he’ll win that Cy Young next year, or the year after. Who knows? But I’ll be watchin’, that’s for sure. Gotta support the young folks, they’re the future, after all.
It’s like my grandson always says, “Grandma, you gotta keep up with the times!” Well, I’m tryin’, I’m tryin’. And from what I can gather, this Paul Skenes fella is worth keepin’ an eye on. He’s the real deal, a top-notch pitcher. And that Cy Young Award, well, it might just have his name on it one of these days. And that’s somethin’ to crow about, I tell ya.
So, that’s my take on this whole Paul Skenes Cy Young thing. Just a bunch of folks makin’ a fuss over a talented young pitcher. But hey, that’s baseball for ya. Always somethin’ to talk about, always someone new to cheer for.
