As her boyfriend Paul Skenes started his final game of his second season, former college gymnast Livvy Dunne appeared to be stressing out as she watched on from a suite.
Dunne took the trip to Cincinnati to watch the Reds take on Skenes’ Pittsburgh Pirates – in what would ultimately be the pitching ace’s final game of the season.
But she appeared to be going through it – with cameras seeing her in distress as she recorded him from the stands.
She was seen clutching her hands with anxiety in the third inning as she was captured saying ‘Come on’ in support of Skenes.
In the fifth inning, however, the grey shirt that she had been wearing saw noticeable sweat stains on her armpits.
Social media reacted – with many people creepily saying they’d want to purchase that unwashed shirt.
Ex-college gymnast Livvy Dunne was seen – literally – sweating out a start from her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates starter Paul Skenes, as she accidentally showed off some armpit sweat
Dunne looked incredibly stressed as she watched Skenes pitch his final game of the season
Skenes, the front-runner for the Cy Young Award, kept the Reds scoreless through six innings
Others took a completely different route, seemingly suggesting that it was ‘disgusting’ for Dunne to be sweating.
‘Put your arms down, that’s gross!’ read one comment under a TMZ article about the incident.
Others simply remarked ‘Nasty’, ‘Gross’, or ‘Ewww wtf?’ Another said, ‘Someone is gonna need some Spray n Wash’.
Dunne took plenty of photos of the game, posting them to her Instagram story. She also re-posted an ESPN post about her stressed reactions, saying, ‘can’t blame a gal for being nervous.’
While the Pirates struggled this season, Skenes certainly showed why he’s one of the top pitchers in the majors.
He kept the Reds scoreless, but didn’t get the win as the Pirates were forced into extra innings. Pittsburgh eventually won the game, but Skenes didn’t get any credit.
He’ll end his sophomore campaign with a WAR of 7.6, an ERA of 1.97, an 0.95 WHIP, and 216 strikeouts across 187.2 innings of pitching.
It’s likely that Skenes will be a finalist – if not the outright winner – of the NL Cy Young Award.
