Listen Now

After taking the Cubs series the Pirates welcome the Sand Diego Padres for a 4-game series at home and split it. Mitch Keller took the mount in the final game looking to build off his last start, but unfortunately he reverted back to the old way in which he did not look good. Kevin Newman is also off to a pretty awful start after tearing it up in spring training. However, Colin Moran & Adam Frazier are not and does this team seem to have a more productive approach this year at the plate all around?

Is it too early or too late to jump off the Kuhl train? I take a look back at last nights fiasco of a game. Joe Musgrove returns tonight so let’s take a look back at his no hitter and tell you what the lazy local media doesn’t want you to know.

It is time we recognize Thrillip Evans as the ROY, MVP, Silver Slugger, & Cy Young!We also talk about the success of Mitch Keller & JT Brubaker's Cubs series, what a Cody Ponce return means, & get a few Cubs trolls in while we can.

No, we aren't raising the Jolly Roger tonight, but we are joined by Brian of the former Pirates site (Raise The Jolly Roger). Tonight we discuss Brian being at the first game fans could attend since 2019 in PNC Park, as well as the product he was able to see on said field.

Pirates are now 1-4 after their 14-1 loss to the Reds and showing why they are predicted to be a bad team. Today we talk what’s wrong with Mitch Keller, what do they do with Gregory Polanco, why DFA Edgar Santana for Kyle Keller, & Phillip Evans is the best baseball player on the planet.

IT'S HERE!! Let's talk some Buccos roster, Lindor money, & win total.

It was reported by Jon Heyman that the Pirates offered Ke'Bryan Hayes a contract extension, however the two sides are far apart on it. So what does this mean and why was there overly excitement about a failed negotiation? Bob Nutting had a candid discussion with The Post Gazette. Hear our take on the comments made. Lastly, we give our Over/Unders on every NL Team to complete our Plank series.

We are one week from the beginning of the season and Jim & DiNardo talk the middle infield as well as how the Opening Day Roster is shaping up. We also talk a little of the Royals extension of Sal Perez and why this should be something the Pirates are able to also do.

Michael McKenry joins us this week as we talk spring training, current vs past regimes/teams, potential new rules (with a mini rant on the automated strike zone), and more.

Our yearly show where we give each other our very own Over/Under's on this upcoming season. We will have these listed on the website to see who correctly picks the most at the end of the year.

Now that we are about halfway through spring let's dive into the few position battles and see how they're shaping up. With that being said, it seems like most players have been performing well - albeit spring training stats. What can we take away from this and what should we expect?

You guessed it, we go over a few Pirates 2021 projections and debate if we would take the over or under, make a few bold predictions on the upcoming season, and wonder why everyone is so triggered over the new PNC Park deal.

Let's do a bit of overreaction from the early Spring Games.

Tim Williams joins the show tonight as we discuss and ask your questions about the current farm system.

We are just a few days away until live baseball games are taking place!!! Ben Cherington discusses a bit of the Pirates plan for their rebuild, Kevin Mather says what everyone knows but never says, and the Pirates might have a few choices to select from this July in the Amateur Draft.

With Pitchers & Catchers reporting let's discuss and hash out who we think will be in the 2021 rotation and why Chad Kuhl is either a really good pitcher, a fine pitcher, or not a good pitcher at all. We also discuss who may be next for the Pirates to offer an extension to and finish up the show debating on whether we would rather have Fernando Tatis Jr, Ronald Acuna Jr., or Juan Soto if we had to choose just one.

They did it! After we made a friendly bet on if they Pirates would make a major league signing this offseason they went ahead and signed Tyler Anderson to a $2.5M deal. We discuss his role and contributions as well as some Derek Shelton quotes, and seeing who may benefit the most by a new MLB baseball in 2021.

After Tyler is done discussing his vaccination we talk about the latest signings of Brian Goodwin and Tony Wolters. We do dive into the differences between Cherington & Huntington's tenure as far as development ideas. Then we wrap up discussing an article of potential future Hall Of Fame players currently in the league.

This episode we talk the free agent signing of Chasen Shreve, Ke'Bryan Hayes heading to be a top 100 player, & the newly released Pecota Projections.

So somehow the show gets thrown into a nostalgia wrestling discussion, but we all then bring it back to discuss the latest MLB The Show Cover as well as getting some things off our chest with MLB.
