On the April 18, 2025 episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview MLB podcast, Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner provided in-depth analysis of the Friday baseball slate with betting insights. Munaf opened by highlighting his 5-1 betting record and credited their collaborative discussions for the success. The first matchup covered was Diamondbacks vs. Cubs (0:10–7:40). Corbin Burnes has struggled early, while Cubs starter Colin Rea provides potential value. Chicago leads MLB in runners in scoring position appearances and has scored 124 runs to Arizona's 104. The Cubs as home underdogs and a lean to the over were discussed, depending on Wrigley Field wind. In Royals vs. Tigers (7:41–11:34), Cole Ragans faces top prospect Jackson Jobe. Kansas City's offense has produced just 19 runs over its last 10 games and is 2-8 on the road. The Tigers' bullpen is strong, and both hosts leaned toward Detroit plus money and under 7.5. Guardians vs. Pirates (11:35–15:11) features Luis Ortiz against Carmen Mlodzinski. Mlodzinski has a 1.77 WHIP with command issues. The Guardians were favored due to bullpen depth. Pittsburgh is 6-4 at home and to the over. There was a slight lean to Cleveland and possibly over 8.5. In Marlins vs. Phillies (15:12–19:08), Sandy Alcantara is no longer dominant, while Zack Wheeler boasts an 11-4 record and 2.73 ERA against Miami. Philadelphia is 24-11 in Wheeler's home starts since 2023. The Phillies were a strong lean, especially on the run line. Yankees vs. Rays (19:49–25:11) featured Carlos Rodón, who has allowed 4+ earned runs and 3+ walks in three straight starts. Drew Rasmussen has not allowed a run in 21 career innings vs. the Yankees. Munaf's best bet was Rays first five innings at -110. In Reds vs. Orioles (25:12–28:31), Andrew Abbott faces Cade Povich. While Abbott had a solid outing against Pittsburgh, Baltimore's offense poses more danger. The Orioles were favored and offensive production expected. Mariners vs. Blue Jays (28:31–31:40) has Bryan Woo, who has struggled away from home, against Bowden Francis. Toronto is 7-3 at home and the over 7.5 was considered. Cardinals vs. Mets (31:42–35:05) pits Miles Mikolas against David Peterson. St. Louis is 1-6 on the road and lacks comeback potential. The Mets were the lean, especially on the run line. Griffin's best bet was Braves -130 vs. Twins (35:06–38:12). Chris Paddack has lost all three starts by 2+ runs and Bryce Elder is trying to earn a rotation spot. In Red Sox vs. White Sox (38:13–41:46), Martín Pérez is a steady innings-eater. Boston has a negative run differential and both hosts were reluctant to back them as heavy favorites. Dodgers vs. Rangers (41:46–45:55) features Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has a 0.91 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 22 innings, against Jacob deGrom, who's allowed multiple home runs in consecutive starts. The Dodgers were favored early. In Astros vs. Padres (52:32–56:54), Kyle Hart rebounded after a poor debut, while Houston's Ryan Gusto is unproven. The Padres are 15-4, and with Houston's bullpen issues, San Diego at +123 was the consensus lean. Brewers vs. A's (56:55–1:01:02) has Freddy Peralta allowing six earned runs over 23.1 innings. Milwaukee is 43-27 at home in his starts since 2018. Nationals vs. Rockies (1:01:11–1:04:14) features cold Denver weather and a low total of nine. MacKenzie Gore's road struggles were noted, but Washington was the slight lean. Giants vs. Angels (1:04:14–1:07:43) featured Logan Webb's consistency against Tyler Anderson. San Francisco is 9-4 on the road with eight wins by 2+ runs. Munaf leaned Giants run line. The episode ended with a promo for Pregame's $1,000 MLB contest and 20 percent discount code HOMERUN20.

Is this anything more than a hot start?2.Paul Goldschmidt is off to a great start, or at least he's posted a great BA of .365 and hitting in a lot in the leadoff spot, has seven runs. Unfortunately, he's only hit one home run. Rebirth in New York or a 37-year-old in decline?3.JT Ginn pitched a gem on Saturday against the Mets. It's a power-sinker with a true outpitch, but I'm assuming he'll be on your waiver wire.4.It's been a long wait for Matt Mervis, but he hit his fourth home run on Saturday and is hitting .300 for the Marlins. There are players better than him in the minor leagues, but he's not giving up the ghost. Is he the first baseman for the Marlins all season long?5.Impressed with Trevor Story's start? .255/.340/.734, 2 HR, 6 SB, 8 runs, 10 RBIs?6.What stat line impresses you the most?a.

Testify Testifya sermon by Rev. J. Christy Ramsey DOWNLOAD A LIVE RECORDING Audio from worship at the 10 AM Worship Service February 16, 2025at St Peter’s Episcopal Churchedited from a flawless transcription made by edigitaltranscriptions all errors are mine. John 8:12-19 Sermons also available free on iTunes My pastor growing up, Dr. Paul Bauer, said “Sermonettes are for Christianettes.” That was probably his only joke in 20 years, but it was a good one. Good morning, Episcopalians. They’ve got me tied to this mic today, so you’re welcome. So today I’ve got scriptures, I love the scriptures you give me there. Define the relationship of Jesus Christ and God the Father without straying from Episcopalian beliefs or violating your Presbyterian doctrine, and do it in 10 minutes. Thanks. We’ll pass on that. I mean, there have been wars fought over this, and over a single Greek letter. We’ll pass on that. What we won’t pass on is the opportunity the scripture gives us to talk about testimony. Testimony. We need more testimony in this world. We don’t need more arguing. We don’t need more fact-checking. We don’t need more gotcha. We don’t need any snarky answers to people’s sincerely held beliefs. What we could use is testimony. Did you hear it in Jesus’s saying, “You don’t know where I came from or where I’m going?” If you know where you came from, if you know where you are going, you have a testimony. You have something to say. And I don’t know if any of you have been preachers, weekly preachers for 40 years. But I’ll tell you a secret. When you’re preaching every Sunday, everything that happens is sermon-fodder. You know, everything goes in the old chipper and comes out, I tell you. And so I was thinking about testimony and what does it mean to – and where is the good testimony and where things are. And would you believe it, in my inbox comes testimony from the Episcopalians. Woo-hah. And about 20 other denominations, including Presbyterian, about sanctuary. Now, you all know how hard it is to keep quiet in a sanctuary. You know how hard it is to keep me quiet in the sanctuary before service. Well, I’ll tell you, you Episcopalians work even harder on sanctuary. For over a quarter of the century, sanctuary has been kept in churches, synagogues, religious gathering places around the country, saying, hey, arrest people somewhere else than in church, at services, on a Sunday. But no longer. No longer. And that’s what the Episcopalians testified. Listen to this. Sean Rowe, presiding bishop. In the Kingdom of God as we understand it, immigrants and refugees are not at the edges, fearful and alone. Their struggles reveal the heart of God. We cannot worship freely if some of us live in fear. Sean Rowe, Episcopal bishop, presiding bishop. Even Jesus himself identifies as “stranger.” We must proclaim, particularly in this time, that we are all welcome in the places of worship, that all have – that all are welcome in places of worship. This seems a basic human right, one that we are called by God to serve. In the first week of the current administration I see he arrested over 4,500 people, including 1,000 people in a Sunday immigration enforcement blitz. At least one of these – this is from the court case that your church joined with the church I serve, and 21 other churches in testimony. And at least one of these enforcement actions occurred at a church in Georgia during the worship service. According to news coverage, an usher standing at the church entrance saw a group of ICE agents outside, locked the door. The agent said that they were there to arrest Wilson Velasquez, who had traveled to the United States from Honduras with his wife and three children in 2022. Immediately after crossing the border, they turned themselves in to U.S. authorities, requested asylum. They were given a court date, released after federal agents put a GPS tracking monitor on Velasquez’s ankle. After settling in suburban life, the family joined the Pentecostal Church, where they worshipped several times a week and helped with the music. They were listening to the pastor’s sermon when ICE agents arrived to arrest Velasquez. Although Velasquez had attended all his required check-ins at the Atlanta ICE office and had a court date scheduled to present his asylum case to a judge, ICE agents arrested him, explaining that they were simply looking for people with ankle bracelets. The pastor, Luis Ortiz, tried to reassure his congregation. But he said he could see the fear and tears in their faces. And if you’re upset that people are talking in sanctuary, imagine how upset you’d be if someone came in and arrested someone during the sermon. That should be an announcement every Sunday morning. But we’re not saying you’re bad, or you’re awful, or you vote for this person, or it’s all your fault or blame. We’re saying where we have been, where we came from, and where we are going, we know that, so we have a testimony. And here’s the Episcopal Church’s testimony. And God bless you all. This is in the filing of the United States court system. Because you all know where you’ve been, and you all know where you’re going, and you have a testimony. Plaintiff, the Episcopal Church. Recognizing the Bible’s repeated calls for God’s people to embrace the foreigner as a way of extending the work that is the heart of God in every time and place, the Episcopal Church, champions and advocates for humane policies toward migrants. And many dioceses, parish, and Episcopal networks provide resources, support, and care for asylum seekers, undocumented immigrants, refugees, and other migrant communities. Testimony. Testimony. If you don’t know where you’ve been and don’t know where you’re going, you don’t have a testimony. But Christians know where we’ve been. We read the scriptures every Sunday. Hopefully more than every Sunday. We live by them. And we know where we’re going. We’re going to the Kingdom of God, and we’re living in the Kingdom of God right here. We are not living in Empire. We do not serve the Empire. We serve the Kingdom of God. We know where we’ve been. We know where we’re going. We know what our passport says. Our passport says “Kingdom of God.” Not Empire. And so we have a testimony. You don’t have to argue with someone because they’re just not listening. They’re just waiting for their turn to argue with you and go back and forth. We need to have conversations. We need to find common ground. We need to go forward. Yes, yes, yes, yes. But that’s not going to come from arguing. It’s going to come from testimony based on where we come from and where we want to go. Brian, you got that slide up there for me? Here’s a testimony. Here’s a sign that doesn’t say “Vote for this” or “I voted that” or “Don’t blame me, I voted for the other one.” This is what I believe. In this house we believe love is love. Testimony. Black Lives Matter. And if you’re racist, Black Lives Matter Too, because I have to say that or otherwise you’d think that we do a Breast Cancer Awareness or Fundraiser, we’re saying no other cancer matters. Black Lives Matter Too. Science is real. Women’s rights are fundamental. Women’s rights are human rights. No person is illegal. Disability rights are human rights. Healthcare for all. Kindness is everything. That just says what you believe. That’s a testimony based on where you’ve come from and where you’re going. It attacks no one. It should upset no one. It goes, oh, thanks for sharing what you believe. Now, I know you a little better. Some of those things I believe. Maybe we could figure out how to make that a little more true in the greater world. It’s testimony. I brought a prop. My wife made this for me. And I think I’m going to be wearing it more and more. This might be a daily driver. Some people are against rainbows. But this shows where I believe. And I think I’m going to be wearing this shirt. I almost wore it to preach in. You’re welcome. This should threaten no one. This just gives a testimony to what I believe. It’s perfectly okay if you pee next to me. Now, if you want to bring a gun in, I might have an issue with that. But you all can pee next to me. So if you’re upset, you can say, well, at least he didn’t wear the T-shirt the whole time. So I come to thank you. Presbyterian Church is in the pleading, too. Eighty pages, great reading, along with Episcopalians, the spot on the Mennonites. We can almost – we’ve got a couple atheists in there. All testifying. In 1993, America decided that sanctuary was a place not just to keep quiet for a few minutes before worship, but a place where humans that are fearful could come and worship God, and hear the good eternal truth in the gospel without fear of being arrested and hauled off because it’s easy to get them there. Over a quarter of a century ago. I don’t remember changing, that we thought as long as you’re quiet you can arrest people in our services. Testimony. I believe sanctuary is a place where everyone can come and worship without fear of persecution, without fear of that. And you know, folks, I have some privileged folks in my life. And when I start talking about that, they go, oh, you’re talking politics. Oh, you’re just talking – we don’t talk politics. Wilson is now not with his family. He’s taken away from his children and his wife. And I would challenge that person to go and explain to their children that their father is not with them anymore, that he’s in prison, it’s just politics, and they shouldn’t really care that much. Our faith is a lot more than what is comfortable for us and for the people that we can see. Our faith is a faith of the entire world. We believe that Jesus Christ came, not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. It’s not a scripture, but that world means cosmos, means everything, all the relationships, and all the people in it, and the plants and the animals, and the people that come and go. That’s what God came for, not just to make my life comfortable. And those I can see not suffering because that’s upsetting. It’s for everyone. So I come here as a wandering Presbyterian to thank the leadership of the Episcopal Church in saying where they come from and where they’re going, and testifying to all that would hear, and many that don’t want to, that this is who we are. This is who we love. And this is where we’re going. And we’re telling everyone. Testify. Amen.

If anyone outside of the clubhouse has their finger on the pulse of the Pittsburgh Pirates, it's long time play by play announcer Greg Brown. We are fortunate to have him join us on this episode to take a peek into the 2025 Pirates. With few roster roster and coaching changes can we expect much of the same or does one of the best young pitching staffs in baseball lead by All Rookie of the Year and CY Young candidate Paul Skenes take this team to a level they have not seen since 2013-2015.    Lets jump right into the off season, the team spent under 12 million dollars to fill spots that were in need. Did they really address these needs with upgrades when all they did were 1 year deals with aging veterans or guys looking for an opportunity?   Who would you say is the most important acquisition of the off season?    Spencer Horwitz was traded for in a 3 team deal to be a mainstay hopefully at first base. Coming in, Ben Cherrington knew that a wrist injury has been an issue. Why did he make the deal and if so why give up so much starting with Luis Ortiz?   With Horwitz out now, who will play first base in his absence? What is the timeline from his return and what can the Pirates expect from him.   Recently, the Pirates signed Tommy Pham, a 37 year old journeyman outfielder. Why? He has a history and a not so favorable one at that.    What role does Isiah Kiner-Falefa play on the 2025 Pirates? He has been known predominantly as a highly productive utility player but word on the street is that he could be the everyday shortstop and that's not his strong suit.   Where will the power source come from with this team? Andrew McCutcheon at 38 years old and Bryan Reynolds could be two sources.    Before we move on to the pitching staff, share what you believe will be the most days starting 8 (I know Shelton has his Sunday lineup).   Paul Skenes is a generational player. What can Pirate fans expect next from him after he was an All-Star, Rookie of the Year and a Cy Young candidate in his ¾ of a season.   Can Jared Jones maintain his #2 role? It looks like he will be needed to replicate his success from last year or will Mitch Keller swap spots with him to alleviate some of the pressure and innings.    Please project the starting five pitchers.    How did the Pirates help their bullpen?  Will Bednar and Holderman bounce back from somewhat disappointing seasons and what makes you believe that?   You've been around Pirate baseball for 31 years, why should fans trust that this team is going to be different based on what they know from the off season and past recent seasons.   Are Derek Shelton and Ben Cherrington sitting on hot seats?      Instead of predicting a record lets say will they be over or under 82 wins this season?   Rashene Hill rage against the Rashene- Instagram  Rashene Hill-facebook  @rashenehill-tik tok rj the hill-x Michael “Chops” Mills @therealbigchops  Terry “T-sizzle” Young : Instagram and Twitter @1tyoungy Kevin Watson:@coachkwatt10 on threads Facebook: Kevin Watson Mike Neubeiser: X and Instagram @CoachNeub  ===========================  CONNECT WITH US  ===========================  Check out our websites, social media and networks we are featured on:  https://www.originalsportspodcast.com    Find us on Facebook, X, And SnapChat @ OSPwithMM   https://www.facebook.com/OSPwithMM  https://twitter.com/OSPwithMM      OSP   Follow our Instagram, TikTok, Twitch and YouTube @  OriginalSportsPodcast https://www.instagram.com/originalsportspodcast   OriginalSportsPodcast  https://www.twitch.tv/ospwithmarkmaradei  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZuudj681oIAbnscyHBa0g?view_as=subscriber    You can also use our LinkTree to access all our locations at : https://linktr.ee/Originalsportspodcast    Find us on: Let's Talk Sports Network, https://sidelinesportsnet.com/  and Elite Sports and Entertainment Network. https://linktr.ee/ESENetwork , https://manningmediainc.com/ , https://www.peakonesportsnetwork.com/    Catch OSP on ROKU weekly on National Stream Sports www.NEESP.info  Tuesday Nights from 7-8 pm  ===========================  Feel free to let us know if you have any comments or questions By emailing us at: OriginalSportsPodcast@gmail.com Voice intro: Steve Medley Music by Charlie Hodgson Join us every week to Experience the “O” on the Original Sports Podcast!!! @FunFootballPod @FootballKnow32 @SmokinJeremy @dailygrindpod @jennacheryl @QueenofHoop @rachmariesports @SteveB7SFG @scottGOLIONS @JuanPerezJr7 @ChiefsNana @DaSportChatter @TravisDHolmes @MikeBrodskyFL @TheSoTG @CD3Gator @cduvall30 @TribuneCity @john_nufc42 @always_chiefs @joshuaburs @rodpedersen @BillfromBoynton @phins93 @mikecalheta @NelliNel13 @Sportsteamnews @ChiefsChic87 @RButler723 @ShkBkMediaGrp @TomKorun @pblake1003 @Montejp231 @TheOffSeasonCFB @Blitz_Burgh @TheStandard412 @NflKramer @NYsportsGoat @madchadandeddie @BSenopole @profootballman1 @ClaudioReilsano @Topoffsports @SportsPodiumPodcast @TheMicDr @MarLovelace1 @100Sanford @coachmaradei @Letstalksports @TribuneSouth @BBALLBABE6 @NFLDraftEd @Key103Radio @1069THEEAGLE  @ShkBkMediaGrp @MunnseyTalks @JB_ThePROgram @ecwilson76 @LandersTalks @Mancinisports @GridironXtra @GridironGrubb @GridironZeroes @GridironGuru2 @OSPwithMM @thrillofsports @SmokeyHellNFL @jennachery @ShkBkMediaGrp @SteveB7SFG @CFBWeekly @ecwilson76 @LandersTalks @RadioJakeTaylor @tssjester @1tyoungy  @coachneub @MediaManning @ListenFrederick @ListenHubCity  @therealbigchops @PeakOneSports @bradwalker3083 @TBBucs5 @ShkBkMediaGrp @JB_ThePROgram @BrutallyHones @Montejp231 @GridironGuru2 @OSPwithMM @TheyCallMeMrYu @southfloridatribune @rodpedersen @CatsNBoltsPod @RodPedersenShow @JoshuaDoor954 @bradwalker3083  @High_Low_Sports  @SmokinJeremy @DaSportChatter @BillfromBoynton @phins93 @WindyCityDig @bradwalker3083 @JB_ThePROgram @FunFootballPod @rachmariesports @scottGOLIONS @MichiganMan_2 @DaSportChatter @LegitFBPods @TribuneCity @TheTouchdownNFL @always_chiefs   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZuudj681oIAbnscyHBa0g https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/original-sports-podcast-with-mark-maradei/id1504014103 https://open.spotify.com/show/3bMNxHBGw0V61LtpSuKh2u https://www.audible.com/pd/Steel-City-Nation-Podcast-Podcast/B08JJMND3F https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS85NDM0MjMucnNz https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-steel-city-nation-podcast-60538738/ https://www.twitch.tv/ospwithmarkmaradei/videos  https://linktr.ee/Originalsportspodcast  https://linktr.ee/ESENetwork https://linktr.ee/truthbetoldsports?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=27aeb327-ebe2-4330-98a6-b7ee0188d490

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey ponders what's next for the Pirates in MLB free agency and the trade market after their deal with the Cleveland Guardians for 1B Spencer Horwitz this week. How GM Ben Cherington and manager Derek Shelton address their weakness in right field? Could they trade starters Mitch Keller and/or Jared Jones to bolster their offensive depth? What's next for David Bednar after losing the closer role late last season? And who will replace Luis Ortiz in the rotation? Jason tackles those questions and more. Then previews Pitt volleyball's NCAA tournament matchup with Oregon and the Steelers' NFL Week 15 showdown with Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Pirates traded Luis Ortiz late last night to the Cleveland Guardians for Spencer Horwitz. What is the reaction to the trade across the station? Did the Pirates overpay by departing with Ortiz? Poni says it doesn't move the needle for him.

The guys are at Porky's in Etna today. With George Pickens out again against the Eagles this week, who is the pick to have a big game to get the Steelers to win? Chris says Pat Freiermuth comes to mind but the real answer is TJ Watt. Brain worms. Tyler Kennedy joins the show. The Penguins were booed off of the ice last night. Was it over the top? Tyler gives his thoughts on the fans booing and people being able to show their emotions. Mike Sullivan called out Tristian Jarry after another good performance. Tyler gives his thoughts on the head coach calling out a struggling player publicly. He also gives a story about going into Philadelphia and playing the Flyers. The Pirates traded Luis Ortiz late last night to the Cleveland Guardians for Spencer Horwitz. What is the reaction to the trade across the station? Did the Pirates overpay by departing with Ortiz? Poni says it doesn't move the needle for him. Gerry Dulac says in his latest post that TJ Watt will not be a priority after this season to get an extension. What is going to happen with Watt going into the final Mike Florio joins the show to talk about George Pickens' injury. He has a problem with the scheduling of some teams. He also has some issues with some games not being flexed to balance out the slate of the upcoming games. What are Mike's thoughts on Bill Belichick going to the NCAA? Has the in-season Hard Knocks lost its luster already? They did not mention the Diontae Johnson situation did not bode well for them. Why not air some of the best things that happen off the field? A discussion about Belichick going to coach UNC. Will he succeed or fail because the NFL is vastly different. All Access with Aditi. The Donny Football-less Debrief. Mike Tomlin said that the Eagles and opponents at this point of the year are "nameless gray faces". A midweek vibe check. A quick look at the injury report. Jeff Hatthorn hops on to give a more in depth look into the injury report. He says he would not rule George Pickens out for Baltimore even in a limited role. Jeff gives his thoughts on the proposed rule of flag planting becoming a felony charge. A College Football Minute. Bill Belichick has officially been named UNC Head Coach according to Adam Schefter. Is this good news or bad news for Pitt? Chris says its nothing but bad news for the Panthers. Hodgepodge of Nothingness.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news. Specifically, he wonders whether the Steelers will re-sign George Pickens this offseason if QB Russell Wilson and the passing game prove they can succeed with names like Pat Freiermuth, Mike Williams, Darnell Washington, Scotty Miller, Calvin Austin III and Van Jefferson amid Pickens' injury. Will Pickens be worth the headaches he causes? Or could coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan look to the NFL draft for a replacement after next season? Later, Paul gives his thoughts on the Pirates' trade with the Cleveland Guardians for 1B Spencer Horwitz at the MLB Winter Meetings. Will Horwitz make them better at 1B? Should fans have been hoping for a more proven option? Will the rotation miss Luis Ortiz? And what should be the next orders of business in MLB free agency and the trade market?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the Pirates' trade for 1B Spencer Horwitz. Is GM Ben Cherington thinking too small in addressing the position with a player who still has many question marks? Did he give up too much in sending Luis Ortiz and two pitching prospects to the Cleveland Guardians in the deal? And does this deal send an ominous message about what's to come for this team in MLB free agency and the trade market as the Winter Meetings continue? Jason tackles those questions, then ponders what the George Pickens injury could mean for coach Mike Tomlin, QB Russell Wilson and the Steelers in an NFL Week 15 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. He also gives his thoughts on possible discord between Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and WR A.J. Brown.

Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin react to the first big move of the winter meetings, with first baseman Spencer Horowitz coming to Pittsburgh in exchange for pitcher Luis Ortiz and others. Why did Ben Cherington target Horwitz as the answer at first base, and was he worth trading three pitchers? Plus, what other moves could come out of Dallas?

Starkey Six Pack. The Pirates traded Luis Ortiz and two left-handed pitching prospects to the Cleveland Guardians for first baseman Spencer Horwitz. We wanted to see a more established first baseman added to the team and not a player the Pirates hope takes the next step.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: The Pirates traded Luis Ortiz and two left-handed pitching prospects to the Cleveland Guardians for first baseman Spencer Horwitz. Pitt won it's first ACC game against Virginia Tech, but wasn't pretty. Pitt's rebounding disadvantage was pretty evident. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show for Starkey's Card of the Week. A Dave Parker 1974 rookie card is Starkey's Card of the Week and a Spencer Horwitz card is added too!
