Podcast appearances and mentions of Luke Weaver

The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 and officially clinched the season series against the NL Central leaders, finishing 7-5 against Milwaukee this year. Cody and Doug break down a big two-out rally sparked by Konnor Griffin and Oneil Cruz, Henry Davis adding some late insurance with his 10th home run of the season, Christian Curtis working through more command issues, Luke Weaver's continued struggles and Mason Montgomery shutting the door for the save. The Pirates may be hanging on by a thread in the Wild Card race, but taking the season series from one of baseball's best teams is at least something to hang their hat on.

The Pirates were shut out 4-0 by the Red Sox as the offense failed to capitalize on its few opportunities against Sonny Gray. Jared Jones battled through five innings of one-run baseball with 17 whiffs, but Pittsburgh gave him absolutely no run support. DiNardo and Tyler break down Jones' outing, the continued offensive issues, Luke Weaver's rough ninth inning, strong work from the rest of the bullpen and the late news that Paul Skenes has been pushed back to Wednesday with Lake Bachar getting the start Sunday.

The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped their fourth straight game as their slide continued against the New York Mets. Carmen Mlodzinski struggled in his return to the starting rotation, allowing five earned runs over three innings, while the Pirates offense once again had major problems against a left-handed starter. DiNardo and Jim break down Mlodzinski's outing and debate whether the Pirates need to use an opener the next time he takes the mound. They also discuss another dominant performance from Yohan Ramirez, Luke Weaver's Pirates debut, Ronnie Simon providing a spark, and playoff odds that have now fallen to just 10.3%.

Griffin Warner talks betting on Friday. Griffin Warner runs through a stacked Friday, August 7 Major League Baseball slate on Episode 80 of What I Bet, part of the Straight Outta Vegas AM Podcast feed, breaking down all 11 games at a moment when several rotations are still shifting in the wake of the trade deadline. He opens with the Mets sending Zach Thornton to Pittsburgh against Carmen Mlodzinski, reading the heavy under juice on the eight and a half total as a sign the market expects a Pirates bullpen game, especially with new arm Luke Weaver now closing and Mets closer Devin Williams sitting the last two nights. Griffin leans toward New York at plus 129 and likes the over, suggesting patience for a push to eight. He then covers Jose Soriano's Blue Jays debut against Zach Wheeler and the Phillies, preferring the Toronto run line at plus one and a half over the moneyline, and the first five under four and a half. Tyler Mahle's first start for the Braves against former teammate Max Fried in the Bronx draws Griffin's trust in the Atlanta bullpen despite a modest season, landing on the Braves at plus 134 and the under eight. He gives a brief look at the Athletics visiting a red hot Red Sox club before diving into the Angels and Marlins, where he backs Tyler Phillips and multiple unders against a struggling Los Angeles lineup. The show's strongest opinion arrives with the Guardians visiting the White Sox, where Griffin fades Parker Messick despite respecting his stuff, pointing to Cleveland's shaky bullpen, poor defense, and inability to hit with runners on, and lands on Chicago at plus 122 with unders on both the full game and first five totals. He explains why the Twins overspent caution at the deadline on players like Dean Kremer even as Zebby Matthews starts in Milwaukee, builds a live number on air for Kevin Gausman and the Cubs visiting Daniel Lynch and the Royals, and gives quick reads on the Rockies at the Cardinals and the Orioles at the Rangers, a series carrying real American League wild card weight against Nathan Eovaldi. Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers traveling to face Merrill Kelly and the Diamondbacks brings out Griffin's long standing support for Kelly, who he calls himself a stan of, with the Dodgers bullpen still sorting out closer Edwin Diaz's role working in Arizona's favor. He closes his game by game breakdown with Robbie Ray's Padres debut against Ronel Blanco and the Astros, and a Rays and Mariners matchup between Drew Rasmussen and Logan Gilbert that he calls arguably the best pitching matchup of the night. Before locking in his official pick, Griffin shares a Pregame dot com promo code, hit fifty, good for fifty dollars off Major League Baseball Second Half All Access, which runs through the World Series and drops from 349 dollars to 299 dollars through August 10. His official What I Bet best bet of the episode is the San Diego Padres at minus 120 over the Houston Astros, citing Robbie Ray's strong recent form, a deep Padres bullpen, and doubts about Houston's offense beyond Yordan Alvarez and Jeremy Pena. Throughout the episode Griffin threads in bigger picture storylines, from the Mets continuing to mash without Juan Soto to Cleveland's fall from first place, the Twins facing fan backlash over a quiet deadline, and a wide open American League wild card race where the Yankees and Red Sox look closer to locking up spots than everyone else chasing the final berth. It is a full rundown built for bettors looking for value across every window of the night, from first pitch runs to first five totals to closing numbers, delivered with the same mix of numbers and opinion that has made the show a daily stop for Major League Baseball bettors all season long, with new episodes covering every slate straight through the rest of the season and into the playoffs.

Pirates beat writer Kevin Gorman joins me for our weekly baseball podcast as the Pirates have fallen into last place with the Mets coming to town this weekend. We discuss missed opportunities at the trade deadline, Paul Skenes' problems, Nick Gonzlaes' issues; an underutilized Luke Weaver; and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Pittsburgh Pirates closed a disastrous road trip with a 5-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, dropping to 57-60 and back into last place. Nathan and Doug break down another lifeless offensive performance, costly baserunning mistakes from Endy Rodriguez and Nick Gonzales, the continued defensive problems at third base and an uneven start from Braxton Ashcraft. Brandon Lowe provided one of the few highlights by hitting his 24th home run, setting a franchise record for a Pirates second baseman. The deadline additions have done their jobs, but there have been no leads for Luke Weaver and the rebuilt bullpen to protect. With the offense collectively slumping and the team looking completely disengaged, can the Pirates find a pulse before the season slips away?

The Mets' trade-deadline bloodbath puts the finishing touch on one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down the massive sell-off, why moving the expiring contracts made sense and why the Luke Weaver trade remains the most troubling decision. With the bullpen gutted, Evan proposes an unexpected new role for Kodai Senga while questioning whether David Stearns can turn a collection of lottery-ticket prospects into a quick turnaround.

The Mets' massive sell-off delivers the final blow to one of the most disappointing seasons in franchise history. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash revisit their wildly inaccurate trade predictions, assess the prospect haul and explain why moving the expiring contracts made sense. The one deal Evan still cannot fully accept is Luke Weaver, a dependable reliever who could have helped a bullpen that must be rebuilt next season.

The Pirates entered the trade deadline with one of baseball's biggest bullpen problems. They left it with Luke Weaver, Camilo Doval, Kirby Yates and Lake Bachar. Alex Stumpf breaks down how each addition fits, why the Pirates finally have legitimate high-leverage options and how the new group could remain together beyond this season. He also examines whether Pittsburgh focused too heavily on the bullpen after injuries to Mitch Keller and Ryan O'Hearn created new concerns in the rotation and outfield. Was fixing the bullpen enough, or should the Pirates have added another starter or right-handed bat?

The reinforcements will be in the building tonight for the Pirates. Will tonight be the first time we see Luke Weaver in a Pirates uniform? Kirby Yates and Lake Bachar will also be in the bullpen. Who are going to be the guys getting cut loose or sent down? Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. What happened with the caller last night that told Dan he was too ‘long-winded.' Dan shot down the idea of the Pirates signing Andrew McCutchen to a minor league deal. Dan had his doubts that Cutch was as close with the rest of the clubhouse as people assumed. Dan believes the Pirates will still have Mason Montgomery close games with Luke Weaver as the setup man. How do the 6th and 7th inning guys line up? Dan loved that last night's game was won in the 6th inning because the Pirates had an additional, effective bullpen arm – the others weren't even there yet. Dan thinks Evan Sisk will slot in when he comes back because they will need another arm from the left side. Dan doesn't think yesterday told us much about the future for Ben Cherington as the team's GM. Name Game.

The deadline chaos continues with debate over Luke Weaver's trade value, the Mets' prospect returns, Luis Garcia Jr., Tyler Stephenson and other possible Yankees targets.

Adley Rutschman reportedly nearing a trade to the Red Sox sends Shaun Morash into a full Yankees meltdown. With Boston closing in on New York and catcher remaining the Yankees' biggest need, Shaun calls it a disgrace that Brian Cashman could let his division rival land the deadline's most appealing option. Evan Roberts urges patience, reminding him that the deal is not complete and wondering whether Baltimore leaked the talks to pressure the Yankees into improving their offer. The deadline panic also sparks debate over Luis Garcia Jr., Luke Weaver's trade value and whether Cashman still has the urgency to build a championship roster.

Craig Carton and C-Mac debate the blockbuster Adley Rutschman trade, whether the Red Sox overpaid, and why giving up three top prospects might be too steep for the Yankees. Plus, the guys discuss the Mets making moves, Luke Weaver heading to Pittsburgh, and the pressure mounting on the Bronx Bombers with the clock ticking.

Evan said Weaver does interviews like a guy cutting an old-school wrestling promo. What kind of mix does Weaver work with? Former Pirates closer Matt Capps joined the show.

Will the Pirates make another big move before the deadline? Callers chime in to talk more about Luke Weaver. MLB writer John Perrotto joined the show.

He says that there are very few right-handed bats available at this point, but mentions Heliot Ramos as a potential trade candidate that is still available.

The Pirates are unlikely to trade Hernandez, even in a package for Mason Miller.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Jason Mackey said that the Pirates are interested in Luke Weaver but imagines it would take a player like Murf Gray. He thinks Murf Gray would be the right move to trade for Weaver. Jason thinks for the right deal, the Pirates will trade anyone not named Seth Hernandez. The Penguins signed Tommy Novak to a three-year extension for $4.65 million per season.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: This is the worst Joe has felt about the Pirates all year. We all knew they were going to lose in the 9th. Joe thinks it was a bad decision that Mason Montgomery didn't pitch the 9th inning after seven pitches in the 8th. The Pirates are 2-6 in their last eight games.

Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber examine the difficult decisions facing the Mets as the trade deadline approaches. They debate which players could attract meaningful offers, whether Luke Weaver is too valuable to move, and how the organization can turn a disappointing season into future progress. The conversation shifts to frustration over afternoon World Cup matches and the challenge of following major games during the workday. Shaun and Tiki also revisit memorable social media takes from familiar WFAN personalities in another edition of Posted and Toasted.

The Mets have reached the point where every mistake feels like a summary of their season. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber break down another painful collapse, Francisco Lindor's costly error, Devin Williams' struggles, and why Luke Weaver may be the most important bullpen decision coming out of the All Star break. They also examine the Yankees' four game winning streak, the urgency of getting Aaron Judge back, and whether a deeper lineup and reordered bullpen can carry New York into October. Plus, Tiki weighs in on Geno Smith and the Jets as the show searches for optimism during a frustrating New York sports summer.

The Mets enter the break buried in frustration after another costly mistake from Francisco Lindor and another late collapse from Devin Williams. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber debate whether Luke Weaver should immediately become the closer, whether he should be traded, and which young players offer any real hope for the future. The Yankees provide a more encouraging story after four straight wins and a weekend filled with late comebacks. Shaun and Tiki discuss whether the lineup is learning to survive without Aaron Judge, why the offense still feels incomplete, and how the tightening race with the Rays and Red Sox could shape the second half.
