Nicholas "Harry" Callas reacts to the Pirates' win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Helluva comeback last night for the Buccos, beating the Diamondbacks 9-6 after facing a 6-0 deficit after the 4th. A monster night for Bryan Reynolds, 4-4 with a 3-run HR to give the Pirates the lead. Paul Skenes gets the ball today as the Pirates try to take the series in Arizona. Poni highlighted the maturity of Skenes and how it really does feel like the guy wants to win here. We heard some audio from Skenes. Poni wants to see Skenes become AJ Burnett – or have a similar attitude to bring to the Pirates.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. The guys asked Greg if he had any idea why Ben Cherington hasn't appeared on his radio show as of late. Greg was going through the lineup for tonight and what Cherington could have meant by saying it's a better team this year than last. Was it dumb of the team to expect some of the older players to have big seasons? What is wrong with Bryan Reynolds? Greg gave an update on Jared Jones and if he will ultimately have to face Tommy John surgery, mentioning that it is always up to the player to get the surgery.

Is it all being set up for the Steelers to draft Drew Allar in the 2026 NFL Draft? If that does happen, how do we feel about it? It doesn't even seem like Penn State fans would love it. Does that perfect the plan set out by Pittsburgh? This past draft was the first one in roughly 30 years that did not see a WPIAL player get selected? Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. After a brief discussion about baseball card collecting, we got into the Buccos. The guys asked why Carmen Mlodzinski doesn't get moved to the bullpen where he is likely a better option. Dan suggested Bubba Chandler could be up here soon, around the same time Paul Skenes debuted in 2024. Dan thinks Chandler is right there, and maybe better than, Jared Jones, with a better body type. Dan weighed in on the man versus gorilla debate, and which former Pirates could stack up in a fight.
