Paul Skenes pulled after pitching 7 no-hit innings

I think it's great Skeens has a manager who is looking out for him. Take a look at the Dodgers pitching staff decimated with injuries.

yea thats great, but when a pitcher has no hitter going into the 7-8th inning he should be able to go the whole game....that doesnt happen that often....2 more innings aint going to hurt the guy,,,

I hate this about baseball today. Let the kid pitch.

He's a rookie. Look what happened to Koufax and countless others whom they let pitch well over 100 pitches a game. It brought an early end to a lot of careers.

Very few like Nolan Ryan, Steve Carlton, Phil Niekro knuckleballer were excepts and the few exceptions.

WHen a pitcher is tired, their mechanics start to break down, and they are muscling pitches is precisely when they can do the most damage.

Im sure all you internet experts know better than the people getting paid millions of dollars to know more than you on this subject.

What good did pitching a 7 inning no hitter do for the team?

The Pirates lost. A guy who threw a 8 hitter could easily have the same outcome.
