Podcast appearances and mentions of Francisco Liriano

On his Saturday Conversations podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey welcomes former Pirates All-Star utility man Josh Harrison to talk about the start of the 2025 season and his memories with the team. How much does Josh still watch the Pirates? What is his relationship like with Andrew McCutchen, who's still leading the team at 38? What similarities does he see between this team -- led by names like Paul Skenes, Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds -- and the 2011-15 group that got the Pirates back to the MLB postseason? With names like Neil Walker, A.J. Burnett and Francisco Liriano leading the charge? Our duo tackles those topics as well as Josh's move into retired life. Why is he content with now doing the family life? What are his favorite Opening Day memories from his career? And how did he see the art of being a utility player in manager Clint Hurdle's clubhouse?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey weighs in on the hottest topics in Pittsburgh sports. Did Pirates closer David Bednar deserve to be booed at PNC Park after blowing his third save in four chances to open 2024 in a 5-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday? Why does starter Martin Perez remind Jason of former Pirates Francisco Cervelli and Francisco Liriano? Does Edward Olivares deserve playing time over Jack Suwinski? Should Aroldis Chapman get a look at closer if Bednar continues to struggle? And on the hockey front, when should Penguins coach Mike Sullivan look to get Tristan Jarry a start over Alex Nedeljkovic? Has Michael Bunting been the linemate Evgeni Malkin has needed? And what are this team's chances of slipping into the Stanley Cup Playoffs with four regular season games to go.
