271 | But There's PiratesFest

Mon, 20 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

You thought the Dodgers were done? Nope. They are still going. They get Roki. They get Tanner Scott. Meanwhile, the Pirates are putting on PiratesFest. They acquired Chase Shugart, though. We're talking all about some of the comments Paul Skenes made during PiratesFest. Doug Ford joins me for this one!

267 | What's It Gonna Take

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This offseason is frozen in time for most of the MLB teams. The Pirates are no exception. Either the MLB Insiders aren't doing their jobs or the team front offices aren't. While we try and avoid talking about the same time every week, it's kind of hard to address anything new when news only comes every 3-4 weeks.

104 | Money Can't Buy Me Dubs

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 10:00:00 +0000

Josh and Jake talk about Derek Shelton's use of different lineups day in and day out, while comparing it to the rest of the league. Also, getting into the idea of "punting" in baseball, what it means and whether or not it defines what the Pirates are doing. Which leads us into a conversation about payroll and spending money! You don't want to miss this one!

We also draft our OF and C this week in our 3 part Pirates draft series!

Monday February 28, 2022. The deadline to start the 2022 season came and passed with no CBA agreement. Baseball fans are sad, angry, and everything in between. Folks who hate baseball are pretending to like it and saying, "I told you so."

We break down our thoughts on the whole thing. Which basically means our questions. We feel lost.

045 | It's Not Hammer Time

Mon, 20 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Joel Hanrahan left the Pirates. That's all we got for news. So, this week, we decided to play a game called "How Could You Be So Wrong?" We picked guys throughout the years that we had all wrong. Whether we thought they were overrated or we overlooked them, we brought up some names that you are familiar with and maybe some that you forgot. But basically, there are always going to be players that you got all wrong. Whether it's Jose Bautista that just blossomed after his time with the Pirates, or an injury plagued road that derailed his potential... one way or another your idea of 5 years from now is not always going to be reality. It's fun to project and share our opinions and thoughts, but it doesn't make anyone less than a fan if they get it wrong. We give some examples of that.

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Jacob Stallings traded to Miami, Bucs Sign Roberto Perez, and a bunch of other moves as well. All getting in before the CBA expired.

Now the league has locked out the players and MLB is officially on LOCKOUT mode.

We break down what we think of those moves and ask a lot of questions. Now is probably a good time to ask more questions than we have answers for. What direction are the Pirates going? Will 2022 be another bad season? Are they trying to do anything to make it better? Does it affect the rebuild at all?

Rough week for Pirates pitching, but Frazier and Reynolds are still bright spots in a dark room. And Adam Frazier's superstitions are worth hearing and talking about.

We also talk about the "unwritten rules" of baseball, respect vs disrespect, and about old school vs new school arguments.

In this episode, we got interrupted twice by Josh's daughter, and it was too good to leave out this time.

There was a big chunk cut out of this recording that will be released later. This all just got too long this time. Too much fun.
