This is probably the most insane thing I have ever read.

But same time it checks out sorta so let’s just get right into it.

So technically not a Reader Email but also kind of a Must Read situation here.

It takes a certain bulldog mentality to be a really good pitcher.

I already want to check out because we’re referencing Kevin Costner baseball movie quotes.

But same time that only speaks to just how insane we’re willing to get.

For the sake of arguing,lets assume hes a sociopath.

With that, lets table this for a moment and diverge here.

Just roll with me on this.

Itll all come back together, I promise.

We’ve already made it this far.

How much weirder can it get?

The regular gestation cycle for a human baby is 40 weeks.

People say nine months, which makes things easier to remember.

40 weeks is more exact.

Obviously

For example, my then-wife was induced at 37 weeks, scheduled ahead of time.

This guy is married?

Apparently theyre just chilling and waiting to fall out at that point.

But maybe we should.

Skenes was born on May 29, 2002.

With that knowledge, lets go back roughly 37 weeks.

That puts us at roughly September 12, 2001.

See where Im going here?

Its completely possible that Paul Skenes was conceived on 9/11.

Nobody was particularly aroused on 9/11 or the days that followed, though.

It was a real bad time to be a boner.

Even despite our sex drives, the last thing any of us were thinking about that day was sex.

Mr. and Mrs. Skenes, though, had other ideas.

9/11 footage turned them on.

If the former is the case, that would speak to their ability to tune out whats around them.

This would likely be antisocial personality disorder if you want to be clinical.

Alright so there’s the entire analysis straight from the horse’s mouth.

Or do you guys think Paul Skenes is just a really good pitcher with really good stuff?
