The two aces both pitched in yesterday's doubleheader, but not against each other

In today's Buy or Sell, Bill answers if he was bummed that Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes did not face off against each other, if there are certain instances where athletes going after fans is justified, if there is concern with Shedeur Sanders' second speeding ticket, if Adrian Peterson is one of the former athletes you'd least like to fight, if the Pacers winning the NBA Finals would be the biggest upset in history and if TJ McConnell has a chance to win Finals MVP.

Steve Byrne hangs out with us live in studio to flex his best impression of Evgeni Malkin listing his top five reasons why Bob Nutting won't sell the Pirates. Guy Junker calls in to discuss the Pirates double header today against the Tigers with both Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal taking the mound.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to ponder some Steelers over/unders for the 2025 season. Will Aaron Rodgets surpass 3,200 yards and 22 touchdowns? Will either Jaylen Warren or Kaleb Johnson threaten the 1,000-yard mark? Can DK Metcalf get over the 1,000-yard threshold that's been a problem for Steelers receivers including George Pickens in recent years? And how many sacks will T.J. Watt record? Our duo tackles those questions, plus some Penguins topics. Can GM Kyle Dubas and new coach Dan Muse return this club to Stanley Cup caliber in short order? Or is there too big a gap with the back-to-back champion Florida Panthers right now? What should we make of conflicting reports about Evgeni Malkin's future? Will this season definitely be his last in the NHL? Or could he come back for another chance to win next to Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang? And how seriously should we take a potential sale of the team back to Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys talk about malaise that has set in after an encouraging early run from manager Don Kelly's team following Derek Shelton's firing. Are fans beginning to tune out? Why hasn't Ben Cherington made a move to salvage the season, as owner Bob Nutting had suggested might be possible? Could Ke'Bryan Hayes and Mitch Keller be among names that are moved before the trade deadline? Why hasn't Tommy Pham been cut yet? And did the Pirates miss an opportunity to create some must-see TV by matching up Paul Skenes and Tarik Skubal during a double header against the Detroit Tigers?

RUNDOWN   Mitch kicks off Episode 337 with a deceptively tough trivia question about Louisiana's top-selling music artist—hint: it's not the one you'd expect. That sets the tone for a packed show that includes a heated Mariners No-Table debate over Randy Johnson's Mariners legacy and whether Seattle ever truly embraced one of the game's greats. Mariners No-Table, with Joe Doyle (Future Stars Series) and Brady Farkas (MLB analyst & podcaster) tackle the club's shaky offense, trade deadline outlook, and whether the front office is bold enough to make a real playoff push. It's a nostalgic and energetic ride as Mitch reunites with the original KJR Sports Pit crew — Jason Puckett, Steve Sandmeyer, and Matt Johnson — for a three-part conversation packed with inside stories, on-air memories, and raw reflections on their time together. From launching an iconic Seattle sports segment to the challenges of keeping it alive, the guys share hilarious behind-the-scenes tales and openly discuss the circumstances that led to its sudden end. It's equal parts reunion, therapy session, and roast — and a rare glimpse into what made Seattle radio tick in the 2000s.   GUESTS   Joe Doyle | MLB Draft Analyst, OverSlot, Future Stars Series and Mariners Reporter Brady Farkas | Sports Radio Host and Mariners contributor Jason Puckett | Former KJR Sports Radio Host and Co-Host of The Sports Pit Steve Sandmeyer | Former KJR Host and Producer of The Sports Pit Matt “Stretch” Johnson | Longtime Seattle Sports Radio Personality   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch quizzes Hotshot Scott on the top-selling artist from Louisiana (spoiler: Britney Spears), sparking a playful debate over musical icons and surprising stats.

The trio debates whether Seattle should buy or sell, how injuries have altered the outlook, and what front office boldness might mean for a playoff push. 55:11 | Jason Puckett and Steve Sandmeyer kick off the Sports Pit reunion with Mitch, revisiting their early days on KJR, behind-the-scenes dynamics, and the unique blend of chaos and chemistry that made the show a Seattle favorite. They reflect on their friendship, battles with management, and the show's surprising influence. 1:25:44 | Mitch, Sandmeyer, and Puckett dive deeper into the Sports Pit era, exploring its impact on Seattle sports media and the authenticity that drew a loyal following. They share personal moments, fan memories, and address how the show would—or wouldn't—work today. A candid look at the evolution of sports radio through the lens of their pioneering chaos. 1:59:21 | The Sports Pit trio closes out their reunion with reflections on life after KJR, including career updates and personal growth. They share final laughs, rapid-fire memories, and emotional gratitude for the listeners who made it all matter. A fitting end to a heartfelt and hilarious throwback. 2:26:38 | In “The Other Stuff,” Mitch and Hotshot cover a wild mix of headlines: a British Airways attendant caught dancing naked mid-flight, Derrick Henry's movie bet with Adam Sandler, John Olerud's $65k tree feud, and Sean Kemp's court plea. They spotlight Coco Gauff's classy French Open win and Sabalenka's poor sportsmanship, Paul Skenes' historic ERA start, and Livvy Dunne's creepy autograph seekers.
