The Pirates blew a 7-run lead to the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Livvy Dunne noticed.
Dunne’s boyfriend, rookie pitcher Paul Skenes, started the game and left after five innings with a comfortable 10-3 lead. Not so fast.
The Pirates’ bullpen collapsed and gave up 11 runs. Six of those runs came in the top of the ninth inning. Chicago went on to win 14-10.
Dunne, a gymnast at LSU, was not happy. She posted a GIF on the X social media platform of Skenes saying, “You gotta be kidding me.”

Some of the reactions to the post, summed up the tortured life of a Pittsburgh Pirates fan.
“It’s taken approximately four months but she’s now officially one of us,” wrote one person in a reaction.
