these two are not going to shake hands in the WBC.
Healthy confidence. Some ego but backs it up.
However, it doesnt last forever.
Reporter: “he said you never played in an FCL game”
Skenes: “I played in ONE š””
Bubba’s complaining like Skenes did do 3 years of college. They both debuted at basically the same age.
The befuddlement when the interviewer told Skenes about Chandlerās quote is maybe the most emotion Iāve ever seen him express. And I get it too, because Chandler is so obviously a cocky guy and Skenes, at least to the public, acts very reserved
I know you donāt get to pick your name but I am weirdly unsurprised a dude named Bubba has a bad take

Bubba Chandler: āPaul Skenes is spoon-fed shrimp cocktail and needs to check his ego. He doesnāt even know thereās 21 ways to cook shrimp. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.ā
People are really going to take this seriously even though itās clearly two buddies just trying to mess with each other
For those of you who seem massively confused, they are messing with each other. Bubba Chandler is giving Skenes a hard time to be funny. He is joking. He is not being serious.
I’m taking this as two people that are friends who bug each other.
Bubba chandler is a real person?
Who’s the interviewer? Research purposes ofcĀ
Bubba absolutely knew he played in one fcl game. He just wanted Paul to say āI played in oneā lol.
Paul Skenes hasnāt even had to go through having an ugly gf smh. Not a grinder
This type of bullshit isnāt why I love baseball. Keep the drama merchants away from this sport please.
Reporter making shit up. When did bubba say he needs to check his ego
As a Jays fan…. I LOVE this guy.
Skenes: “I’m not gonna be lectured by a guy named ‘Bubba’.”
Why do they look like the same person in different fonts
So much talent on the cusp in Pittsburgh right now, and the vibes are highā¦donāt fuck this up ownership.
God i wish we had a different owner because there’s no reason this pitching core should be losing 90+ games
Lol, I didnt know there were two different people at first.
Top-tier rage bait by Bubba šš you could definitely tell he gets him with this all the time
These guys literally look like the same person
I’m seeing double, 4 Paul Skeneses!
I was so confused at first because I thought the video started with an old video of Skenes for whatever reason.
He looks like a younger Paul skenes
Hardly watching the Pirates, I didn’t know Bubba Chandler was a real person and thought it was Skene’s alter ago. Look pretty similar!
