The Cleveland Guardians’ social media team probably thought they were being clever on Sunday, but it ended up costing them big time, as their troll of Paul Skenes’ girlfriend, Livvy Dunne, blew up after a massive 7-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
A Troll Gone Wrong
It all started in the bottom of the third inning when an error scored a run for the Pirates. The Guardians’ social media crew, trying to be cute, posted a caption saying “Job well Dunne.” You’ve gotta be kidding me with that. Well, Livvy Dunne didn’t let it slide. After the Guardians went on to lose the game in a 7-1 blowout, she clapped back on social media. What a way to get roasted for a bad joke!
Skenes Shuts ‘Em Down, Pirates Stay Hot
Even with that early run on the board in the third, Paul Skenes showed everyone why he’s having a dominant season. He didn’t let another run score for the rest of his outing. Skenes went seven strong innings, racking up eight strikeouts, and snagged his ninth win of the year. He’s been legit all season, rocking a 3.43 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP across 21 starts. Meanwhile, his Pirates are looking good, sitting at 52-48 and staying right in the playoff mix.
The Guardians’ social media team learned a tough lesson here. You gotta wonder if they’ll be so quick to troll next time they face Skenes and the Pirates. Probably not, right? The Pirates are looking to finish strong, and Skenes is a huge part of that.
