And away. Brewers broadcast said the Monday Tuesday games had attendence of ~24k, whereas the Wednesday day game Skenes started (and threw that 7 innings of no hits) had ~36k.

Road starts I bet too. There were 36k at a weekday game for the Brewers. That seems unheard of.
Almost all the baseball nerds I know in this city half considered taking a day off.

Saw him at Wrigley. Was worth every penny.

I haven’t been able to make it to a game yet. But I gotta get up there to see him play. He’s revitalizing the fan base. It’s cool to see opposing teams fans showing him respect home and away. Stl fans gave him a standing ovation when the pirates played in stl.

That’s pretty cool
Vegeta approves
Probably like the Taylor Swift effect on the games Kelse played and she showed up although Paul Skenes girlfriend is 1000 times better.
Shhhh how are the Pirates gonna sign him to a long term deal if he realizes his value?
I’m hoping he’s gonna pitch one of the days the pirates come to the Juicebox.
The average cost of attending a Pirates game is [$167.50](https://www.alliednews.com/sports/local_sports/extra-innings-pirates-may-be-on-to-something-with-ticket-prices/article_88d2c3da-1735-11ef-9b87-0359f9a2df77.html) (includes tickets, food, blah blah blah). That means Paul Skenes single-handedly brings in roughly ~$1.5 million per start at PNC park.
TIL people buy tickets to see good players.

Incredible view! 💞
Is this because of Angel Reese too?
