The Pirates win total according to the betting markets is currently sitting at 80.5, which would be a season below .500 and a 4th place finish in the NL Central. With the Pirates being a game under .500 and 2-8 in their last 10, fans are asking if it's time to trade Paul Skenes. What would that fetch? Are you disappointed that Paul Skenes never wants to see a salary cap? Name Game.
The Pirates' tandem of Jared Jones and Carmen Mlodzinski did not work last night, to say the least. Joe Block and Kevin Young went off on the Pirates' decision to waste Carmen Mlodzinski in a blowout loss last night. Poni thinks it is a very bad sign if guys employed by the Pirates are avidly disagreeing with the team's decision making. Endy Rodriguez has been swinging the bat very well as of late. Donny Football Debrief – Falcons QB Michael Penix has not yet been cleared to begin practicing, which likely means Tua Tagavailoa will start for them. A bunch of WPIAL football players have been ruled ineligible for the upcoming season.
Brendan Sorsby has applied for the NFL's supplemental draft. Poni thinks that Sorsby knows the NFL is an escape hatch for his situation. Apparently, there are teams that like Sorsby more than Arch Manning. Should the Steelers take a chance on Sorsby in the supplemental draft? Poni does not think that they will. The Steelers have gambling in their history, so that will prevent them from going after Sorsby. Poni thinks that it would be a good idea for the Steelers to take a chance on Sorsby. More on Sorsby and the supplemental draft. Calls. PM Team Tuesday Draft – Best World Cup Countries.
Another blowout loss for the Buccos, falling to the A's, 11-2 in Sacramento. Poni's question to start the show – why did the Pirates fire Oscar Marin? Things were going well with him here. Several random dudes pitched well with Marin in charge and the Pirates, as a collective, had a Top 10 staff in all of baseball. We're getting awfully tired of Carmen Mlodzinski complaining about his role. But does he have a point? PM Team Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. Are the Pirates going to finish above .500? What is going on with Mitch Keller? Is there any reason to worry about Paul Skenes? How far will the United States go in the World Cup?

Poni isn't happy with what we have seen from Paul Skenes as of late. There was an epic meltdown on Pirates postgame yesterday after another loss capped a 2-4 homestand a 2-7 record in the team's last 9 games. PM Team Guess Who?
Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo said that Drew Allar has made good progress so far during mini-camp. Poni is not confident at all in Allar's ability to turn into a good NFL quarterback. Limits drove back to the station to defend his stance on Allar. Callers chime in on Drew Allar and the Steelers. Insiders think that the Steelers will be drafting a QB in next year's NFL Draft. Poni thinks that Penn State is to blame for messing up Drew Allar. Donny Football Debrief – RIP Aldon Smith.
Ben Cherington said yesterday that July is the time to make moves, essentially slipping up and telling everybody that it is impossible to make trades right now. Poni thinks that Cherington is completely to blame for the bullpen being terrible this year. Poni thinks the Pirates would be a legitimate contender with a better bullpen. More on Ben Cherington and the Pirates' bullpen. Cherington apparently thinks that the answers to the Pirates' bullpen are in the building, which makes Poni think that the Pirates won't do much at the trade deadline. Bucco Auction House – Poni, Donny, and Jack bid on different Pirates.
The Pirates drop another series at PNC Park as the Marlins took 2 of 3 over the weekend. The Buccos have dropped 7 of their last 9 games. Poni called out Paul Skenes – saying we need more from the ace. He wasn't bad against the Marlins, but he has to take control of a game like that. Is it fair to blame Skenes at all? People seem afraid to do so. Paul Skenes is against a salary cap or floor in baseball. Is that a quick way to get the fans to turn on you in a place like Pittsburgh? HOCKEY TALK! Jordan Staal is a Stanley Cup champion yet again. The former Penguin also captured the Conn Smythe award after the Hurricanes won their first Cup in 2 decades. How far away are the Penguins from the top?

A crazy week in sports with an improbable win for the Pirates and is Baker Mayfield a possibility for the Steelers? Also, is it okay to wear sports memorabilia?

MLB analyst Matt Clement joins the show. Matt says that Mitch Keller's control has been a big issue during his rough stretch these past 6 starts. Matt also says that he is not a fan of the Mlodzinski piggy back thing, as he thinks he is the best right-handed arm in the Pirates bullpen by far. He thinks that Dotel should be the guy in the piggyback role. More with Matt Clement. Matt thinks that Shohei Ohtani might have an argument to be the greatest baseball player of all time when he retires. He says that Ohtani isn't quite the hitter Barry Bonds was, but Bonds also did not pitch at an elite level, or at all. Barry Bonds was 0/3 against Matt Clement the year he broke the home run record.
Hour 2: The guys reminisce on past Penguins' championship teams. Marlins play-by-play announcer Jack McMullan joins Donny to preview Marlins-Pirates. And Donny quizzes Dom and Jack on World Cup trivia.
Dom and Jack go head to head in World Cup trivia. They do not know a whole lot.
Radio voice of the Miami Marlins Jack McMullan joins the show. Jack says that Sandy Alcantara has been very inconsistent this year, but it is very possible that you get the best version of him in any given outing. Jack mentions that Otto Lopez has been very good this year and could be a thorn in the side for the Pirates this series.

Donny Football in for the guys today! Mitch Keller had another terrible outing last night, and Donny wonders what's next for him. Keller isn't going deep into games and Donny says that's a problem. Is he the worst starter in the rotation? How much of an issue is the Pirates pitching currently? It appears that their pitching has gotten worse from last year.
PM Team Power Rankings – The greatest home runs in PNC Park history. Steve Palazzolo joined the show. Steve agrees with the Buccaneers in the sense that he would not pay Baker Mayfield a ridiculous amount of money. He also thinks that the Trevor Lawrence contract is justified. Steve thinks that Keeanu Benton is worth around what Turk Warton got in Carolina, so about $15 million. Steve is connected to Ben Cherington in a way. Donny Football Debrief – Donny Futbol Debrief: The World Cup is upon us. Poni says that he will watch every game the US plays in the World Cup.
Tyler Callihan had an absolute legacy performance to fuel the Pirates' comeback against the Dodgers yesterday. However, Callihan is not in the lineup today because there is a lefty on the mound. Jared Triolo and Marcel Ozuna are both in the lineup tonight, as they both hit lefties well. Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob says that he will watch the World Cup from time to time this year. Bob does not think that the division is out of reach for the Pirates, and he thinks that the Pirates will be involved in the playoff race this year. Bob also thinks that Mitch Keller will put together a nice performance tonight against the Dodgers. He says that the Pirates have to wait for Marcel Ozuna to do more considering what they paid him this offseason. Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo joins the show. Ray thinks that the backup QB job is solely in Will Howard's hands, and there is nothing Mason Rudolph can do if Howard performs well enough to be the backup. Ray says that Drew Allar has been up and down this year, but there is still a lot of optimism surrounding him. Ray says that a Joey Porter Jr contract will be more expensive than Nick Herbig's $25 million.
A remarkable comeback last night at PNC Park as the Pirates beat the Dodgers, 9-8. Tyler Callihan was the unlikely hero, homering twice for his first two home runs in Major League Baseball. What did this mean for this team? It could be a game that turns the tide of their season. Poni shouted out the crowd last night that didn't leave with the Pirates down 6-1 in the 7th. Game Balls for PIT-LAD: Tyler Callihan, Spencer Horwitz, Bryan Reynolds. Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason reacted to a magical night at PNC Park. Do we see more playing time for Tyler Callihan after his huge night? Jason thinks we could be close to the end of the line for Marcell Ozuna, especially once the team gets healthy again. How can the Pirates become a better team with challenging balls and strikes? Jason discussed the Oneil Cruz injury and what his recovery looks like. Jason paused, but believes we will see Konnor Griffin before July 1st since he can still perform in some aspects of the game. Who are some bullpen options in Triple A right now? Poni told Jason he is tired of the piggyback schedule within the rotation. Are the Pirates going to take a look at Aroldis Chapman going into the trade deadline?
