What can words do? Well, since Dennis Eckerlsey called out the Pirates team as being a hodgepodge of nothingness the offense has scored 16 runs in their last three games. Tonight, they not only had 5 runs, but they contributed towards it with 13 total hits.All but one starter had at least one hit, while Kevin Newman, Greg Allen, Bligh Madris, and Ben Gamel each enjoyed a multi-hit game. Though he had a terrible base running blunder that could've cost the lead, Ben Gamel redeemed himself at the plate with 3 total hits as well as a HBP in the 9th. It was Kevin Newman's second hit that gave the Pirates the lead in the 9th and then Michael Chavis' clutch hit vs. a lefty that ultimately won the game.Bryse Wilson did enough to keep the team in the game as he gave up 3 earned runs on 5 hits and 2 home runs. What am I making out of Bryse Wilson so far? Well you will hear just how he ultimately is opening my eyes ever so slightly.

Should Royals first base prospect VInnie Pasquantino be added in all leagues, now that he has been called up? DVR and Al address this question, as well as look into the fantasy appeal of Michael Harris, Josh H. Smith, Jonathan Ananda and Bligh Madris. They also consider whether David Villar and Dominic Fletcher could see time in the majors in 2022 and turn their attention to some of the more intriguing players currently in Class A.

Oneil Cruz is finally here and he can throw baseballs faster than the average ballplayer and leap buildings in a single bound. While all of that hype is fun, Pittsburgh Pirates fans should expect ups-and-downs with the young SS, but also enjoy a lineup that we only imagined a year ago. Craig also insists that he's told everyone about Bligh Madris repeatedly over the years, but we make him tell us about the young outfielder again. Craig Toth covers the Pirates for Inside The Bucs Basement, and joins his buddy Chris at a 9-foot homemade oak bar to talk Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball. Listen. Subscribe. Share. We are "For Fans, By Fans & all Pirates Talk." THE Pirates Fan Podcast found EVERYWHERE podcasts can be found and always at BucsInTheBasement.com!

Matt says Cruz reminds him of Vladimir Guerro Sr. Clement says he'd try to tie him up inside. Matt said he could feel it coming in 2002 that the Cubs would be good, but unlike with these Pirates, it was all about the pitching. Matt said St. Louis was unbearably hot.  7:26- Breakfast Bytes-  Greg Brown's home run call for Bligh Madris sparks conversation. Blimey!  7:33- Women get tattoos in Asian writing. Are we sure it says what you think it says???  7:47- Midweek Mouth Off: Is Chase Claypool a Diva? 

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg talked about the emergence of Oneil Cruz and Bligh Madris into the Pirates lineup and why it leaves him excited for the future. He said Cruz showed off all of his talents already and there is plenty where that came from. Greg talked about the comparison between Cruz and Gregory Polanco, but said Polanco never grew into his body. 

The Steelers have signed Larry Ogunjobi. Ogunjobi was in the scuffle involving Mason Rudolph and Myles Garrett a few years ago while he played in Cleveland. Poni thinks this is the most disrespectful move the Steelers have done to Rudolph, topping the signing of Mitch Trubisky and drafting of Kenny Pickett because Ogunjobi is someone that called out Rudolph's character. The guys then debated if Rudolph has been treated fairly in Pittsburgh. Both think he has gotten more than his fair shake and Chris referenced Rudolph losing his job to Duck Hodges the year Ben Roethlisberger was out for the season.    Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason said the team has definitely become more interesting over the last few days because of the emergence of two new young players to the equation. Not only has Oneil Cruz played well, but Bligh Madris hit his first big league home run last night after 3 hits in his debut. Jason said there hasn't been a player with an awe factor like Cruz in a very long time. Jason thinks the Pirates will take the training wheels off so the fans can keep seeing Cruz. He said the players are all-in on Cruz as much as the fans. Jason picked who out of the young players will have the best MLB career – Oneil Cruz. He expects Nick Gonzales to also have a good pro career. Jason still projects Cruz to be a corner outfielder eventually.

NBA – Champion Warriors celebrate fourth title in eight seasons From the moment all those months ago that Klay Thompson uttered “championship or bust,” the Golden State Warriors seemed set to make good on his lofty proclamation.It took Thompson getting healthy at last, then Draymond Green and Stephen Curry overcoming their own injuries down the stretch and a cast of youngsters shining on the big playoff stage for the Warriors to win again. Golden State captured the franchise’s fourth championship in eight years Thursday night by beating the Boston Celtics 103-90 in the clinching Game 6. NBA – Orlando still evaluating all options with No. 1 draft pick College basketball season ended almost three months ago, the NBA draft lottery was more than a month ago and the draft itself is later this week. Seems like the process should be winding down. Orlando Magic President Jeff Weltman sees it differently. He says the real work is just getting started. The Magic haven’t decided yet what they’ll do on Thursday night when the draft rolls around and they have the No. 1 pick. Other teams have called to gauge what the asking price would be if they want to trade for that selection. NBA – Magic-Rockets, Pistons-Blazers to open Vegas summer league NBA Summer League will start with a little Midnight Madness feel, at least in some of the country. And if the Orlando Magic keep the No. 1 draft pick, then that player won’t wait long for his summer debut. The league released the 75-game summer league schedule on Monday, with the first game in Las Vegas set to pit Orlando against Houston on July 7 at 10 p.m. Eastern. That game will be followed by a midnight Eastern tip-off between Portland and Detroit. Those two matchups are the only ones on the Day 1 schedule. All teams play five games in Vegas. The championship is July 17. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Chicago Sky at Las Vegas Aces, 10:00 p.m. WNBA – Wife of WNBA’s Griner tells AP scheduled call never happened WNBA star Brittney Griner tried to call her wife nearly a dozen times through the American embassy in Russia on the couple’s fourth anniversary Saturday, but they never connected since the phone line at the embassy was not staffed. That’s according to Cherelle Griner, who tells the Associated Press that the couple has not spoken by phone in the four months since Griner’s arrest in Russia on drug-related charges. That was to have changed Saturday, when a long-awaited call was to have finally taken place. But the day came and went without any contact, leaving an anguished Cherelle Griner to wonder what went wrong. FINA – Ledecky leads 1-2 American finish; Italian sets backstroke mark Italy’s Thomas Ceccon has set a world record in the men’s 100 backstroke and Katie Ledecky has claimed yet another gold at the swimming world championships in Budapest.  Ceccon stunned the competition by clocking 51.60 seconds to shave 0.15 seconds off the previous best mark set by American Ryan Murphy at the 2016 Olympics. It’s the Italian’s first world title.  Ledecky extended her record haul of titles to 17 with her fourth in the 1,500 freestyle alone. Ledecky never looked threatened and finished 14.74 seconds ahead of Katie Grimes. Ledecky punched the water in delight then embraced her teammate.

Seems like the process should be winding down. Orlando Magic President Jeff Weltman sees it differently. He says the real work is just getting started.

Other teams have called to gauge what the asking price would be if they want to trade for that selection. NBA – Magic-Rockets, Pistons-Blazers to open Vegas summer league NBA Summer League will start with a little Midnight Madness feel, at least in some of the country.

The league released the 75-game summer league schedule on Monday, with the first game in Las Vegas set to pit Orlando against Houston on July 7 at 10 p.m. Eastern. That game will be followed by a midnight Eastern tip-off between Portland and Detroit. Those two matchups are the only ones on the Day 1 schedule. All teams play five games in Vegas.
