This week’s “Beyond the Bylines” with Joe Starkey and me dives into Paul Skenes’ recent issues. We also attempt to figure out why he has fallen off a cliff and how to fix him.

We talk about the Pittsburgh Penguins and what they’ve done so far on the free agent market. Or, more to the point, what they haven’t done.

I try to get Joe into Team USA’s win at the World Cup … and fail miserably. Plus, Joe is having issues with his facial treatments.

Then, we lament dog movies and dwell on the danger of Fourth of July sparklers.
