Don’t flip out, Livvy Dunne. Apologies, bayou moms. Paul Skenes may have an LSU girlfriend and an LSU baseball card. He’s still, deep down, a Zoomie at heart. “Anything that I can do, or any of us can do, to bring eyes to the Air Force Academy is good,” Skenes, the Pittsburgh Pirates pitching phenom and former AFA baseball star told a crowded circle of reporters earlier this weekend at Coors Field, where he was supposed to pitch against the Rockies, but won’t. “Especially with how much it affected me.

The Rockies are not counting on Adael Amador to make a huge splash in the big-league pool. They’ll settle for some ripples. For now. They want the 21-year-old second baseman, their No. 1 prospect, to get his feet wet, make some mistakes, and learn.

Ryan Feltner knew it the nanosecond that Jack Suwinski clobbered his hanging 2-2 curveball. He’d made a big mistake. The Rockies’ right-hander contorted on the mound in frustration while Suwinski watched his two-run homer soar 459 feet to right to stretch the Pirates’ lead to 4-1 in the seventh inning. Pittsburgh went on to win, 5-2, in front of a Friday night crowd of 31,717 at Coors Field. The Rockies have lost four straight in LoDo for the first time all season. “I thought all of my pitches were generally working,” Feltner said.
