Like pretty much everybody else who witnessed it, Olivia Dunne couldn’t believe the Pittsburgh Pirates’ collapse on Wednesday.
Leading the Chicago Cubs 10-3 going into the seventh inning, the Pittsburgh bullpen surrendered two runs in the seventh, three in the eighth and six in the ninth to snatch a 14-10 defeat from the jaws of victory.
In the process, Dunne’s boyfriend, Paul Skenes, lost out on a win of his own. Skenes had limited the Cubs to three runs (two earned) in five innings before leaving the game and turning things over to the relief corps.
Dunne was clearly annoyed by what unfolded, and her reaction on X/Twitter showed it.
She tweeted out a GIF of her boyfriend mouthing “You gotta be kidding me” on the mound during a game.

Funny for sure, though Skenes might wish she hadn’t tweeted anything at all.
The fans in the comments asking Dunne to tell the fireballing rookie to request a trade to their favorite team are certainly loving it though.
Skenes and Dunne have been an item dating back to the end of the former’s final season at LSU in 2023.
Dunne, who is currently back at school preparing for her final season of collegiate gymnastics, has been a frequent presence at Pirates games since Skenes was called up to the big leagues, and she accompanied him to the All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas last month.
