Podcasts about ji hwan bae

The Pirates activated Alexander Canario and optioned Ji Hwan Bae to Triple-A. They traded Jason Delay to Atlanta. Aaron Judge has hit five home runs already this season. Who will hit more home runs this weekend, the Pirates or Aaron Judge? The Reds have lost 1-0 in three consecutive games.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Donny Chedrick: It's the Pirates Home Opener! We share some of our favorite Opening Day memories. Regardless of the team's outlook, Opening Day is always special. The Pirates activated Alexander Canario and optioned Ji Hwan Bae to Triple-A. They traded Jason Delay to Atlanta. Aaron Judge has hit five home runs already this season. Who will hit more home runs this weekend, the Pirates or Aaron Judge?

Can the Steelers draft and develop a quarterback to finally pass the baton from Ben Roethlisberger? One fan advocates for Ji Hwan Bae to be in the Opening Day lineup.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles briefly discusses the team's 5-1 loss to the Twins in their final spring training contest Monday then gives his key takeaways as the team's opening day roster starts to take shape. Manager Derek Shelton informed reporters Monday morning that Carmen Mlodzinski will start the season as part of the Pirates' starting rotation. Is this just a quick fix in Jared Jones' absence or will Mlodzinski make the jump to being a starter full time? Speaking of Jones, how will his absence affect the team in the short term and — if necessary — the long term? Finally, who has the easiest path to the final roster spots, as six players — Peter Strzelecki, Hunter Stratton, Justin Lawrence, Joey Wentz, Ryan Borucki and Tanner Rainey — vie for three bullpen spots and three players — Jack Suwinski, Ji Hwan Bae and DJ Stewart — compete for the last two position-player spots? Noah answers those questions and more.

On their weekly Pirates mailbag video, Post-Gazette insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin answer reader questions from spring training in Bradenton, Fla. Are there any prime candidates for a contract extension this spring, given that the Pirates have handed one out to a key piece in each of the last three years? With Matt Gorski producing well during spring training, could we see him lock up a spot on the opening day roster? What does the future hold for fringe infield prospects like Ji Hwan Bae and Liover Peguero? What about stalwart backup catcher Jason Delay? Will new hitting coach Matt Hague focus more on small ball due to the Pirates lineup's lack of major power hitters? And with the return of Daniel Vogelbach, which other former Pirate would Noah and Andrew like to see return in a special adviser's role? Our duo answers those questions and more.

Hour three with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise. Pirates manager Derek Shelton joined the show. Shelton said it's extremely disappointing what happened with Tucupita Marcano and the rule not to bet on baseball is posted everywhere. Breaking news from Shelton: Henry Davis is back and will catch tonight. Jack Suwinski returns from Triple-A and Ji Hwan Bae will be placed on the IL. Cam Heyward is back at Steelers OTAs to support his teammates, but does not have a new contract yet. Hockey is working in Florida.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the Pirates' comeback win against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night at PNC Park, in which Nick Gonzales and Oneil Cruz played key roles. Is Cruz turning a corner with clutch hits and more frequent displays of his raw power? What can Ji Hwan Bae do now that he's been promoted back to the MLB roster after a sizzling stint with Class Triple-A Indianapolis? Could Henry Davis be returning after his own power surge with the Indians? And what are Jason's reactions to Barry Bonds, Jim Leyland and Manny Sanguillen being selected to the team's Hall of Fame? Jason answers those questions, then talks a little Steelers OTAs. How is George Pickens showing signs of maturity already? And what should we make of the contrasting ways Najee Harris and Cam Heyward are handling their contract situations?

Pirates manager Derek Shelton joined the show. Ji Hwan Bae has officially been recalled from Triple-A and will be in the lineup tonight. Capitalizing situationally is the most important thing the offense needs to take advantage of.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Pirates recall Ji Hwan Bae from Triple-A. Who goes back to Indy? We think Alika Williams. Rowdy Tellez is still here, as of now. Cam Heyward is sitting out OTAs this week and wants a new deal. He doesn't think it's an issue he's sitting out because they're voluntary. We didn't think he had a desire to play 2-3 more years.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Pirates manager Derek Shelton joined the show. Ji Hwan Bae has officially been recalled from Triple-A and will be in the lineup tonight. A look back in time.

BREAKING: Pirates recall Ji Hwan Bae from Triple-A. Who goes back to Indy? We think Alika Williams. Rowdy Tellez is still here, as of now. Cam Heyward is sitting out OTAs this week and wants a new deal. He doesn't think it's an issue he's sitting out because they're voluntary.

In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to react to the Steelers' NFL free agency signing of WR Scotty Miller, who most recently played under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith with the Atlanta Falcons. Could Miller be useful? Or is he just the latest in a slew of uninspiring free agent signings that includes Van Jefferson and Quez Watkins? Does Smith's offense really require a strong No. 2 receiver across from George Pickens? Or is the emphasis on the running game with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren all that really matters? And is there still a chance GM Omar Khan gives quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields a bigger-name weapon between now and the start of the season? Our duo tackles those questions, then gets into some Pirates topics. Can Paul Skenes really help the team's results much as the offense continues to scuffle? How long will GM Ben Cherington allow 1B Rowdy Tellez to scuffle before giving his roster spot to minor league standouts like Nick Gonzales, Jake Lamb and Ji Hwan Bae? And are Oneil Cruz's early struggles more related to his 2023 injury? Or the Pirates clear issue with developing hitters overall? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How important is this upcoming homestand against the Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels and Chicago Cubs to this team's hopes?

In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to discuss Steelers draft picks Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier. How quickly can they be upgrades on 2023 offensive line starters Dan Moore Jr. and Mason Cole? How long after that will they mature into the stalwart pieces of the line that the Steelers hope they can be? And where does fourth-round pick Mason McCormick fit into this conversation? Our duo tackles those questions, the latest on WR trade rumors involving names like the Commanders' Terry McLaurin and the possibility of Cam Sutton returning to Pittsburgh. Then they get into the Pirates' recent offensive struggles. Has hitting coach Andy Haines become a scapegoat for GM Ben Cherington's systemic development failures? Does Cherington deserve to keep his job through the entire season if names including Henry Davis, Oneil Cruz and Jack Suwinski continue to sputter? And why does Paul think it's time to bring up names like Nick Gonzales, Ji Hwan Bae, Jake Lamb and Paul Skenes from the minors, then cut underperformers like Rowdy Tellez loose?

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: The bad: the Pirates lost again to the Oakland A's. The good: Paul Skenes dominated again in Indianapolis. It's time to bring up Nick Gonzales, Liover Peguero, and Ji Hwan Bae. Skenes should be here now, but May 10 seems possible. Deion Sanders and family embarked on a Twitter war today with a former player. Poni has reported a DK Metcalf trade is not happening. Zeise thinks Brandon Aiyuk fits the Steelers better than Debo Samuel, but Starkey likes the weapon Samuel brings. Nashville stayed alive last night in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Jason Mackey reacts to the Pirates' latest loss to the Oakland Athletics, in which their offense struggled mightily once again. Is it fair to just blame hitting coach Andy Haines for the struggles of young players including Oneil Cruz and Jack Suwinski? Or do the team's problems run deeper? What can or should manager Derek Shelton change? And is it time minor-league options like Nick Gonzales and Ji Hwan Bae get opportunities in this lineup?

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: The Pirates only had two hits against the A's in a 5-1 loss. It was as bad as it sounds and multiple double plays to end potential rallies. They lead the league striking out looking. Joe calls on Bob Nutting to step in and force a change at hitting coach and Andy Haines has to go. Starkey wants him to be like Art Rooney did and step in to get rid of Haines like Matt Canada. It's time for Nick Gonzales, Liover Peguero, and Ji Hwan Bae to come to the majors. What would our ideal lineup look like? NHL insider and analyst Kevin Weekes tweeted the eyeball emoji with a picture of Pittsburgh on the Clemente Bridge.

He also gets into season-ending Penguins questions. Which players from the current lineup should be sent packing after the team missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs this week? Is there any chance that GM Kyle Dubas moves on from core players including Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Erik Karlsson? And on the Steelers front, who's the most likely first round pick heading into next week's NFL draft? Is it Oregon's Jackson Powers-Johnson?

Todd Tomczyk did what he only knows how to do - bless every Pirates fan with doom and gloom news and updates about the health of this teams players. Ok, maybe not all doom and gloom as David Bednar appears to be healthy and is scheduled to pitch in tonights game. However, there were certainly a good bit of bad news. It is now confirmed that Dauri Moreta will miss all of 2024 while getting Tommy John surgery today. Yasmani Grandal still hasn't run and won't through at least next week. Carmen Mlodzinski experienced right forearm tightness. Thomas Harrington has experienced a right rotator cuff muscle strain. Ji Hwan Bae has been out for some time but is now just returning to baseball activities. Oh, and Colin Holderman has been out with an illness but looks to also be scheduled to return.

Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. Henry Davis is the best catcher on the Pirates roster and Jason hasn't seen anything to the point that he can't catch in a Major League game. He's disproven the fact that he can't catch. Nick Gonzales is third in the second base race. Liover Peguero is likely the starter with Triolo playing around the field and Ji-Hwan Bae is a question mark. Mackey thinks Jared Triolo could win a gold Glove in the future. Connor Joe looks like he could be the starting right fielder. David Bednar, Jack Suwinski, and Oneil Cruz are the next players that makes sense for the Bucs to extend.

Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. Pitchers and catchers arrived in Bradenton today. The Pirates are interested in trading for Marlins starter Edward Cabrera. Jason isn't sure if there will be a deal but the discussions are 'healthy' and Ji-Hwan Bae has been rumored. The Pirates are going to deal from a position of strength. They are not going to want to give up upper level prospects like Solometo and Chandler. It's a possible option Henry Davis begins catching in the minor leagues. Davis confirmed to Mackey there hasn't been any discussions on him playing right field. Jason would bat Cruz leadoff. Is Cruz physically ready? Jason thinks he's good to go. Skenes could be up in mid-May. Starting pitching is a question. 

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Pitt basketball star Blake Hinson joined the show. Hinson dominated against West Virginia, Duke, and Virginia this season. The Panthers are finding their stride and the freshmen are growing up in front of our eyes. Hinson doesn't think it was Pitt's best game of the year but they competed at a high level. Hinson has connections to Tony Bennett's family, Virginia's head coach. The next step is Louisville. Hinson said Jeff Capel has instilled confidence in him unlike any other college coach he's had. Capel has done a great job getting points across without yelling and having respect for the team and players. Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show.

Where/how should Ji Hwan Bae be utilized?Hear award-winning columnist Dejan Kovacevic's Daily Shots of Steelers, Penguins and Pirates -- three separate podcasts -- every weekday morning on the DK Pittsburgh Sports podcasting network, available on all platforms: https://linktr.ee/dkpghsports

Ji-Hwan Bae, 2B/OF, PIT (CBS: 43% rostered, ESPN: 7% rostered): Why is Ji-Hwan Bae rostered to such a low level? He's 19-of-24 swiping bases, good for fifth overall as we enter mid-June. It's time to give your Free Agent pool a scan to see if somehow he has been overlooked. He shouldn't be.Will Brennan, OF, CLE (CBS: 9% rostered, ESPN: 3% rostered): In the past seven games, Brennan has gone 11-for-29 with two homers and seven RBI. On most teams, that would be a good week. In Cleveland, it's otherworldly.Kerry Carpenter, OF, DET (CBS: 8% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): The injuries to Riley Greene and now Akil Baddoo have allowed Kerry Carpenter to play full-time. He has gone 10-for-15 in his past four games and should see a steady diet of at-bats until the walking wounded are back walking.Colton Cowser, OF, BAL (CBS: 28% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): If it wasn't for the quad injury, there's a good chance Cowser would already be plying his trade in Baltimore. Now recovered, how long will it take to see him plying his trade in Baltimore? My guess is not very long.Christian Encarnacion-Strand, 3B, CIN (CBS: 45% rostered, ESPN: Everyone else has been called up in Cincinnati. It's only a matter of time before Encarnacion-Strand gets his opportunity. With 17 home runs and a .427 BA in 177 at-bats at Triple-A Louisville, that opportunity will likely come sooner rather than later.Stuart Fairchild, OF, CIN (CBS: 1% rostered, ESPN: not rostered): Jake Fraley once again hits the IL, joining Wil Myers and Nick Senzel. Stuart Fairchild has helped pick up the slack and thus far has done an admirable job, slugging a couple of homers with 19 RBI and seven thefts. The outfield has taken a big hit injury-wise in the past couple of weeks. Fairchild could provide at least a temporary option.Nolan Jones, OF, COL (CBS: 42% rostered, ESPN: 8% rostered): Are we finally seeing a breakout from Nolan Jones? In five games this week, he has gone 6-for-16 with a pair of homers. It's worth a small bid to determine if this hot streak is sustained.Corey Julks, OF, HOU (CBS: 10% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): Long-term, Julks is more than likely a fourth outfielder, but short-term, the stolen base potential is providing sneaky value. He has four thefts this week with more to come, and for a small investment could be accumulating them on your Fantasy squad.Nick Pratto, 1B/OF, KCR (CBS: 29% rostered, ESPN: 4% rostered): Over the past seven games, Pratto has gone 6-for-22 with a homer and 3 RBI, hitting mainly out of the leadoff slot. Playing time should not be an issue with Vinnie Pasquantino on the IL with right shoulder instability.Emmanuel Rivera, 1B/3B, ARZ (CBS: 4% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): It's crowded in Arizona, with Josh Rojas and Emmanuel Rivera in a job share, but Rivera appears to be slowly winning the battle. The power and speed are limited, but there's no doubting Rivera's ability to control the strike zone. In deeper Leagues, that .860 OPS provides value.Tarik Skubal, SP, DET (CBS: 25% rostered, ESPN: 4% rostered): The rehab clock has started, and so far, so good. We're looking at a much-anticipated early July return to the Tigers rotation. Buying in early will save you some of that precious FAAB.A.J. Smith-Shawver, SP, ATL (CBS: 58% rostered, ESPN: 13% rostered): The 20-year-old righthander got that first start under his belt and handled it in fine fashion. He went 5 1/3 innings allowing two unearned runs in a no-decision. That has earned him another start against the Tigers. Go get him and get him active.Mark Vientos, 3B, NYM (CBS: 17% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): Pete Alonso got plunked on the wrist last Wednesday, suffering a bone bruise and sprained left wrist that will leave him sidelined for the next month. There will be opportunities in New York for additional at-bats, and it's worth a small bid to see if Vientos and that power potential gets his share of them.Bryan Woo, SP, SEA (CBS: 13% rostered, ESPN: 1% rostered): The first game was underwhelming, to say the least, but Woo bounced back nicely in his second outing, holding the Angels to two runs over 4 2/3 innings while chipping in with seven strikeouts. He has earned another start.The Closer ReportAdbert Alzolay, RP, DET (CBS: 12% rostered, ESPN: 2% rostered): With two saves in his past five appearances and sporting a 30/4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 30 appearances, Alzolay has moved into the setup role with an eye towards working the ninth regularly.Scott McGough, RP, ARZ (CBS: 8% rostered, ESPN: 2% rostered): McGough got off to a rough start and lost the closer job but has rebounded nicely. He hasn't allowed an earned run since May 12, a span of 10 appearances (14 IP). Over that span, he has amassed 21 strikeouts. In Leagues that count holds, it's time to include him in your future plans.A.J. Minter, RP, ATL (CBS: 24% rostered, ESPN: 12% rostered): The season has been one of very high highs and very low lows, but after both the success and failure, Minter has shown a return to the “good AJ”. He has two saves and a win this week and has solidified his hold on the setup gig. It's time to get him rostered and active, again.Andres Munoz, RP, SEA (CBS: 51% rostered, ESPN: 47% rostered): There was considerable debate as to whether Paul Sewald would own the ninth inning for the M's heading into 2023. A right shoulder strain suffered by Munoz back in early April made that decision a moot point. Well, Munoz has returned from the IL and is already flashing that huge strikeout potential. In a worst-case scenario, you wind up with a high K/9 setup man. At the best, a job share closing and save opportunities. It seems like a win/win to us.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3306394/advertisement

After getting caught stealing more and more frequently in recent games, Adam Crowley proposes giving Ji-hwan Bae a day off to relax and get back to a better decision-making mindset.

Adam Crowley is losing patience with some of these decisions made by the Pirates on the bases.

Bucco Auction House Round 2 – Donny wins bids on Connor Joe batting average and Roansy Contreras ERA. Mullsy wins bid on Ji Hwan Bae stolen bases. 

The Pirates start a big series tonight in Tampa Bay against the AL's best team. If the Pirates win this series, how serious will people have to take them? Is it crazy that we're looking at these early May matchups as huge games?  Calls. Bucco Auction House Round 2 – Donny wins bids on Connor Joe batting average and Roansy Contreras ERA. Mullsy wins bid on Ji Hwan Bae stolen bases. 

1.Tanner Bibee got the call and did not disappoint. He pitched 5.2 IP, 6 hits, 1 ER, 8K/0BB for the win.a.What were your thoughts?b.Who do you prefer for the rest of the season? Taj Bradley or Bibee?2.Were you surprised that Jordan Walker was demoted? He wasn't lighting the world on fire like Gunnar Henderson is, but still… .274/.321/.397 isn't bad for a 21-year-old.a.Did they pull the trigger too soon?b.If Walker can go down, can Gunnar Henderson be far behind?c.Were you surprised that the Diamondbacks sent Jake McCarthy down?3.According to Sporttrac, the Padres have the third-highest payroll in the league. They have good players but are 13-13 and are underperforming. Is this just a slow start, or do you think there is a problem? If so, what?4.Speaking of the Padres, I have Juan Soto in a Dynasty League, and he's gotten off to a bad start. Yeah, he's 24, but when you grab him with a top-10 pick, you expect more than a guy hitting .188. What are your thoughts on what is happening?5.MacKenzie Gore and Hunter Brown had big outings on Wednesday. Who do you like better for the rest of the season?6.Give me three players you want to see promoted over the next several weeks. 7.Estuery Ruiz had four stolen bases on Wednesday and has moved up behind Ronald Acuna.a.First, you're welcome!b.Second, he's fast, and we expected a lot of stolen bases, but you know who else has 10 is Ji Hwan Bae of the Pittsburgh Juggernaut Pirates. Can he sustain this?8.Mitch Keller won again yesterday and is now sporting a 3.53 ERA with 40Ks in 35.2 innings. He still walks too many, but are we seeing this guy finally develop into a pitcher you can start with confidence?9.What one hitter are you picking up this weekend?10.What pitcher are you picking up this weekend?

Bucco walk-off! But the Pens blow it. We recap it, wonder if Mike Sullivan should be fired and take calls on all of it. 

The Pirates are...fun. The Korean call of the walkoff home run was awesome. Teams will now serve beer through the eighth inning due to the brisk nature of games. How about the bat flip?!

The @mets are playing like poop. @jaymahanti knows what I'm talking about. 8 pitchers on the IL currently.  Outscored 19-0 by @brewers in first two games of the series.  #mets look to score a run today and win a game.  They are 3-3 but no reason to panic.  #homeopener tomorrow vs @marlins but #maxscherzer not looking very dominant this season.  Did you see that catch last night by @pittsburghpirates #jihwanbae off the #greenmonster it was awesome.  @brooklynnets going into #nbaplayoffs looking shaky to say the least. @nyknicks vs @cavs is locked in for first round. @njdevils won last night still trying to catch @canes in #metropolitan division. @nyrangers have to beat @tblightning tonight to keep pace with NJ. @themasters this weekend. Will #tigerwoods bring back some of that old magic?  More realistic answer is can he make the cut?  Depends how healthy he is right now. #johnelway no longer in @broncos front office which he had joined in 2011. Won a #superbowl in 2016. New ownership. New coach.  New direction.
