Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Use of language that is intended to provoke interest or excitement at the expense of accuracy.

The article uses phrases like 'brilliant bit of baseball theater' and 'the ball seemingly explode out of his hand' which add a dramatic tone.

Use more neutral language to describe the events, such as 'noteworthy moment' instead of 'brilliant bit of baseball theater'.

Appeal to authority

Relying on the opinion of an authority figure instead of presenting objective evidence.

The article quotes Pirates manager Derek Shelton and catcher Yasmani Grandal to support the narrative of Skenes' potential, which could be seen as an appeal to their authority on the subject.

Include additional evidence or statistics to support claims about Skenes' potential, rather than relying solely on the opinions of authority figures.
