Esta edición de Viva Béisbol la hemos dedicado a la Serie Mundial de Pequeñas Ligas 2017. Conversaremos con los protagonistas: los niños de los distintos equipos. Sus padres nos darán testimonio de la travesía que para muchos de ellos fue llegar a esta Serie Mundial.

What role do the Pirates have planned for Juan Nicasio going into the 2017 season? MLB.com's Matt Waymire and Pirates reporter Adam Berry break down why Nicasio is a better fit in the bullpen and discuss Andrew McCutchen moving from center to the right field spot.

On paper, the Pirates won three out of four games against the Dodgers, they had a tough loss on Sunday. MLB.com's Matt Waymire and Pirates reporter Adam Berry break down what went wrong on Sunday, what's the heart of the issue with Francisco Liriano, and whether or not Juan Nicasio could lock down the 8th inning role in the bullpen.

Even with Colorado Rockies' short stop Trevor Story off to an hi-Story-ic start, we refuse to jump on the bandwagon of Trevor Story puns. Instead, on this week's episode, Andy, Bob, and Jason get back together for the first time in ages to talk baseball. The open this week's show by discussing the new slide rule and the potential psychological ramifications of it being referred to as 'The Chase Utley Rule'. Andy then talks about Gregory Polanco's new deal, a new sabermetric Bucs lineup, all the other pitchers giving up because Juan Nicasio is going to win the Cy Young Award, and finishes his portion of the podcast by talking about Ray Searage's contract in Pittsburgh. Bob and Jason then dive into the Indians with talk of, but not limited to: Opening Day being cold, Jose Ramirez's defense, Carlos Santana's walk rate, and former top prospect Jeremy Sowers now as a front office employee with an MBA from the University of North Carolina. The gang finishes with a SeaWolves shout out that features their enjoyment of watching former Erie SeaWolf Steven Moya hitting baseballs.   There might be an awkward pause at the beginning as the three podcasters learn to work together again, but the trio pull it together for one of the best episodes of the year.

The Pirates couldn't have drawn up a better opening series by sweeping the Cardinals. MLB.com's Matt Waymire catches up with Pirates reporter Adam Berry to hear about Pittsburgh's strong series and spotlight Juan Nicasio as well as Gregory Polanco's five-year extension.

On this week's episode, Andy and Jason discuss the merits of Major League Baseball changing the rules of tagging runners out; the laces on your mitts are now excluded from the tag. Once their heated debate cools, Andy discusses the end of the Pirates' spring, including, but not limited to: Juan Nicasio nailing down the fifth starter spot and whether to be optimistically optimistic or cautiously optimistic, the Pirates' bullpen construction, and how the Pirates' roster is going to cut down from 30 men to 25 before Sunday. Jason then transitions flawlessly into talking about Trevor Bauer's career and how it's led him to the bullpen. He also talks about Tyler Naquin in center field, Michael Brantley and Lonnie Chisenhall on the disabled list, and he finishes up with discussing Paul Dolan's recent interview in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The gang finishes with a SeaWolves Shoutout, taking a look at when the Tri-State teams are coming to town as well as waxing poetic about Minor League Baseball.
