Podcast appearances and mentions of david bednar

The Pirates shut out the Tigers 3–0 behind another electric outing from Paul Skenes, who lowered his ERA to 1.91. Neil and Doug break down the win, discuss the state of the offense (still no extra-base hits), and question if the front office is capable of building around this generational ace. They also dive into trade deadline strategy, bullpen dominance from Dennis Santana and David Bednar, and the continued mismanagement of Henry Davis. Is this what the Pirates were supposed to look like? Or just a temporary illusion?

Brandon Tierney emphatically declares that both the New York Yankees and Mets are currently not World Series contenders and must make significant moves at the trade deadline. He stresses the need for "legitimate arms and legitimate bats," not just bench fillers, and critiques the Mets' struggling offense while acknowledging the Yankees' closer but still flawed position. Tierney and Hoff discuss specific trade targets for both teams, as outlined by Jeff Passan, including Steven Kwan, Emmanuel Clase, David Bednar, Eugenio Suarez, and Ryan Helsley, highlighting the critical need for impact players to elevate both New York franchises.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Joe makes the case for Spencer Jones to be traded to the Pirates. Joe and Austin have a big argument and rants on the trade deadline and what to get for Mitch Keller and Ke'Bryan Hayes. How do the Pirates acquire bats in the organization?? Mitch Keller, David Bednar, and Dennis Santana are valuable.

Greg Brown thinks the Pirates are going to make a big trade. What would that mean? It would probably be trading Mitch Keller or a David Bednar trade for a big time bat. Pulse of the People. We want a salary cap and floor but have doubts.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani: Greg Brown thinks the Pirates are going to make a big trade. What would that mean? It would probably be trading Mitch Keller or a David Bednar trade for a big time bat. Greg Wyshynski of ESPN thinks Sidney Crosby could finish his career in Montreal.

Does Oneil Cruz deserve to be in the Home Run Derby? Who could you get the most from at the deadline? We think they could get the most for Mitch Keller then David Bednar and Dennis Santana. The Pirates have some pitching depth, but how much depth?

Hour 2 with Jason Mackey: Kevin Gorman's not convinced Cherington is a bad GM, but he has restrictions on him with what to do. Kevin thinks the Pirates could package Mitch Keller with Dennis Santana or David Bednar to get a great return at the trade deadline. The Pirates pulled Paul Skenes after five innings and 78 pitches on Sunday. Jason thinks it's overmanaging.

Kevin said Ben Cherington's fingerprints are on almost everything in the organization and it's harder to move on from a GM. Kevin's not convinced Cherington is a bad GM, but he has restrictions on him with what to do. Kevin thinks the Pirates could package Mitch Keller with Dennis Santana or David Bednar to get a great return at the trade deadline.

Bob Walk joins the show to talk about his Fourth of July plans, how fun this past homestand was for everyone on the Pirates, what Don Kelly has proved the last couple series, what has changed for David Bednar this season, if Paul Skenes should start for the NL in the All-Star Game this year, how impressed he is by Konnor Griffin, and more!

The Pittsburgh Pirates just swept the Cardinals, but with the trade deadline fast approaching, all eyes are on who stays and who goes. We react to the weekend sweep, then dive into Jim Bowden's new article in The Athletic, which features a ton of Pirates trade chatter. Could Mitch Keller or David Bednar be on the move? Should the Pirates sell, hold, or buy? We'll also break down which players should be on the block, who shouldn't and what kind of moves make sense for this team right now.

Will the Pirates have another All Star outside of Paul Skenes? David Bednar has a cause. Oneil Cruz should have had a better half. How close will the Pirates be from a wild card at the break. Joe thinks the Pirates will win 15 in a row.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Trade options for the Pittsburgh Pirates at the deadline. Will the Pirates have another All Star outside of Paul Skenes? David Bednar has a cause. Oneil Cruz should have had a better half. How close will the Pirates be from a wild card at the break. Joe thinks the Pirates will win 15 in a row.

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. The guys asked Jason about the story brewing about Luis Ortiz and a potential gambling investigation. Investigators are looking 2 individual pitches in this story that apparently altered betting markets. The red-hot Pirates have won 6 straight games, but how long can they keep this going? Jason said this run does not change his mind about the current landscape of their front office. At what point should Ben Cherington be vindicated for his work? Jason does not trust Cherington to make notable trades involving Mitch Keller or David Bednar if those opportunities arise later this month. Jason fully expects Don Kelly to be back next season, but how much credit should Cherington get for that? Going back to the Derek Shelton firing, Jason believes it was a Bob Nutting call to make that change 38 games in. What should the expectation be for Spencer Horwitz?

Lyle and TJ dive into a couple more potential trade targets, debating the cases of Nolan Arenado and David Bednar, and if the price is worth the production for either of them (9:33). They highlight their No. 5 MLB Draft Spotlight, FSU LHP Jamie Arnold (26:26). They then welcome Mariners broadcaster Ryan Rowland-Smith live from The Hall on Occidental to discuss the Mariners challenges, the odds of them catching the Astros, how the Mariners pitching staff turns it around, and more (36:39).Check out 'The Top Step': Click hereSign up for our Patreon: patreon.com/marinelayerpodCheck out Pogacha's Pub 85: https://pub85.com/Merchandise, event schedule, and more: marinelayerpod.comEmail us: marinelayerpod@gmail.comCheck out Just Baseball: Click hereFollow the show on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@marinelayerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find us on YouTube: Click hereFind us on TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@marinelayerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find us on all Podcast Platforms: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/MarineLayerPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow TJ on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tjmathewson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Lyle on Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lyle_goldsteinAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Hour 4: Noah Hiles joins the show in-studio for the whole hour! How important is it to be a good hang? Is Ben Cherington up to something big? And which Pirates will get traded before the deadline?

Hour 1: Jeff Passan slammed Bob Nutting and his perception around baseball yesterday. Which show at the station would win a Fan golf outing? And an NHL insider makes a chilling prediction for the Penguins. Hour 2: The Pomp & Joe Show got into a heated argument yesterday over Barry Bonds. Is Pittsburgh about to make a bid for a major sporting event? And is Dom the Mariano Rivera of grilling? Hour 3: Chris Carter joins the show to talk all things Steelers! Justin Tucker has been suspended by the NFL. And did Dom take another shot at Austin Bechtold? Hour 4: Noah Hiles joins the show in-studio for the whole hour! How important is it to be a good hang? Is Ben Cherington up to something big ahead of the trade deadline? And which Pirates will get traded before the deadline?

Are the Pirates about to deal some stars at the deadline? It is being reported that the Cubs are interested in Mitch Keller and David Bednar. Crowley is jealous of the Reds. The Brewers have the next great ace in Jake Misiorowski. Who is the Pirates' best tradeable asset? Pittsburgh is one of the few teams in baseball right now that isn't competitive.

Hour 1: Are the Pirates about to trade some stars before the deadline? Paul Skenes was pulled after only four innings yesterday. And the guys turn the show into an opportunity to listen to their favorite songs.

MLB insider Bob Nightengale from USA Today joined the show. Bob was the first to indicate that the Cubs contacted the Pirates about Mitch Keller. Bob explained how much Keller could fetch in a trade, saying ‘people like a lot' even though he's not an ace of a staff. Bob thinks Keller would return a Top 5-10 prospect in another team's system because people are reluctant to trade away their prospects. Bob said there is a lot of interest in Isiah Kiner-Falefa around the league as the deadline approaches. He believes David Bednar will garner plenty of interest within the next month as well. Did the Pirates make a mistake not firing Ben Cherington after last season? Bob thinks the Pirates adding a few offensive pieces could get them to a legit level given the pitching they already have. Bob firmly said the Pirates have not made Oneil Cruz available.

We kept the conversation going about Barry Bonds and the ‘steroid era' of baseball. We defended the players from this era and players like Bonds because some of them were truly some of the greatest we ever saw play. MLB insider Bob Nightengale from USA Today joined the show.

Bob firmly said the Pirates have not made Oneil Cruz available. Donny Football Debrief – Justin Tucker has been suspended 10 games. He's currently not on a roster. Is his career over?

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Dan Zangrilli is disappointed in Oneil Cruz that he's not taking advantage of the opportunity to be one of the faces of the game. Dan would trade controllable pitchers for bats and thinks Dennis Santana and David Bednar could go. The five greatest moments in Pittsburgh sports. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of the Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark believes Aaron Rodgers is likely going to retire after this season.

Spencer Horwitz is hitting for a higher average and gets on base. Michael thinks he's getting comfortable and it's not easy sitting out the first month on a new team. He believes Don Kelly has done a better job communicating with players. Michael knows that David Bednar would sign an extension. He thinks Bednar could be an All-Star.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Michael McKenry knows that David Bednar would sign an extension. He thinks Bednar could be an All-Star. He believes Don Kelly has done a better job communicating with players. The Penguins will pick 11 and 12. Aaron Rodgers on The Pat McAfee Show said his conversations with Mike Tomlin are what brought him to Pittsburgh and it was like talking to an old friend.

Donny turned the AC off in his place while he was away, and when he got back it was 86 degrees in his house. As we approach the MLB trade deadline, who on the Pirates could get dealt? Isiah Kiner-Falefa, David Bednar, Andrew Heaney, Adam Frazier, and Dennis Santana are names thrown out.

Hour 2: What Pirates could be traded before the deadline? The guys talk Jaws and why NASA mysteriously stop exploring the oceans in 2014. And Dom thinks the NBA Finals sucked this year.

Dan didn't have a problem with Adam Frazier attempting to bunt with two on and no one out in the 9th. Dan thinks Mitch Keller, David Bednar, and Dennis Santana could be on the table at the trade deadline. Scouts from other organizations that Dan Zangrilli has talked to this week think Bubba Chandler is not quite ready for the majors and needs to cut down on walks.

Scouts from other organizations that Dan Zangrilli has talked to this week think Bubba Chandler is not quite ready for the majors and needs to cut down on walks. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly joined the show. Zach Azzanni is a huge Calvin Austin fan and called him the WR2.

The Pirates just swept the Phillies, and we've got a lot to say about it on this episode of Bucco Brew, powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea. We dive into Carmen Mlodzinski's request to be treated as a full-time starter and what his demotion to Triple-A really says about the Pirates' plans. Plus, is David Bednar back? We break down his recent dominance, talk Konnor Griffin's rapid rise to Greensboro, and preview the Pirates' upcoming series vs. the Miami Marlins.

Braxton Ashcraft has pitched very well. The Pirates are playing .500 baseball under Don Kelly and Noah believes if this continues all season, the Pirates will stick with Kelly as manager. Noah thinks David Bednar and Dennis Santana could be two trade candidates at the deadline.

Noah thinks the Pirates may be playing Tommy Pham to trade him in exchange for something or cash considerations. Noah thinks the Pirates need to think about sending Colin Holderman to AAA and do what the Bucs did with David Bednar. Noah doesn't see Ben Cherington being let go before the draft.

Another lifeless loss from the Pirates last night has this season turning into Groundhog Day. The Reds left PNC Park with a 7-1 win and a few things from last night annoyed Poni more than usual, capped by David Bednar smiling when he's coming off the mound following a bad outing that allowed the Reds to pile on. The guys feel bad for callers like Chuck in Uniontown, who are seemingly stuck loving this team to no end because of whatever reason. The Pirates are alienating fans with every game.

Brett Keisel had a video go viral last night, showing the low attendance at the ballpark.

Bob isn't concerned about Skenes and understands Skenes trying to control his pitch counts to go deeper in games and be more efficient. Bob doesn't think many pitchers will have big strikeout games against the Cubs. David Bednar's confidence seems back. His control has been much better. Cruz is becoming a star.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Bob isn't concerned about Skenes and understands Skenes trying to control his pitch counts to go deeper in games and be more efficient. David Bednar's confidence and control is now back. Oneil Cruz looks like a better hitter and Bob agrees with Joe, Cruz is becoming a star in the outfield. Best games of the week.
