Podcast appearances and mentions of paul skenes

Welcome back to Sports Fellowship with Fox and Frank! In this week's episode—dubbed “The Robert Newhouse Episode”—Dan and Frank kick things off with a spirited debate over who truly owns jersey number 44. Is it the Cowboys legend Newhouse, Hammerin' Hank Aaron, Pistol Pete, or even... Barack Obama?The guys are joined by their ever-dependable sound man, Rich Vassallo, and give a shout-out to their steak-hunting pal, Allen “Action” Jackson.Then it's all things baseball, starting with the All-Star break. Frank and Dan break down the Home Run Derby format, Cal Raleigh's surprise win, and the heartwarming family dynamics behind the plate. They discuss mic'd-up players mid-game, Pete Alonso's three-run blast, snubs like Juan Soto, and why the MLB still leads all major sports in having a watchable All-Star Game.Also up for debate: the odd swing-off finale, questionable MVP choices, and whether exhibition games should even be competitive. You'll also hear thoughts on the state of small-market teams, Paul Skenes' future, and the economics of professional sports.Special Thanks to:Fox Brothers Alarms - https://foxbrothersalarms.comFirst Baptist church of Phillipsburg NJ http://www.fbcpburg.org/

The All-Star break gave Pirates fans a lot to chew on — from Oneil Cruz's 513-foot bomb in the Home Run Derby to Paul Skenes dominating the first inning of the Midsummer Classic. Cruz tied for first in the opening round before falling in the semis, while Skenes went 1-2-3 with two strikeouts in a perfect debut on the national stage. We also break down the new Home Run Derby swing-off format and whether MLB should expand it beyond the All-Star Game. But the break wasn't just about spectacle — it also marked the beginning of trade season. The first domino has officially fallen, with Adam Frazier being dealt to the Royals in exchange for Triple-A shortstop Cam Devanney. Could this signal more moves to come? We also dive into the Pirates' 2025 MLB Draft haul, headlined by high-upside righty Seth Hernandez at No. 6 overall. We cover key Day 1 picks like Angel Cervantes and Murf Gray, plus some of our favorite Day 2 names. Does this class reflect a shift in draft strategy, and how do these players fit into the system? Finally, we preview the upcoming White Sox series as the Pirates return to action and gear up for what could be a pivotal few weeks before the trade deadline.

Leila Rahimi and Marshall Harris discussed a variety of topics in the 5 On It segment.

Danny and Brett join me to break down all of the action from the first half of the MLB season and make some predictions for the second half! We start with Brett giving us a recap of his time attending the MLB All-Star festivities, including meeting one of his dad's favorite pitchers. We also compare the in-person experience to the TV experience, and talk about the pros and cons of the swing-off. Then, we get into our first half awards. So many players are having exceptional seasons, but we pick out the best of the best from each league. We get into some good analysis about Paul Skenes' personality, when to make Cal Raleigh a full-time DH, and Zack Wheeler defeating Father Time. We also dish out both praise and critiques to players and teams that have upset us and/or surprised us. We finish up with our division winner predictions. Will the Rockies shock the world? Probably not. Brett also makes a compelling case for the Charleston Riverdogs to let Danny throw out the first pitch. Tap in for that and more!Want more of what I'm doing?

The State of the Pirates. A season that has mostly been a failure that is nearing its next checkpoint in the form of the trade deadline. What can the organization do to salvage this season? We've known that the team would have a limited amount of time with Paul Skenes and so far, they have wasted it. Their plan was to bring in guys they could easily flip at the deadline, almost like they knew they would be bad. Names like Adam Frazier and Tommy Pham were the biggest offseason acquisitions. It seems like Bob Nutting is afraid to fire Ben Cherington because they would be admitting this regime has been an utter failure. Why are they allowing Cherington to run the trade deadline? Is there a real chance he is gone before the season is over? Chris has divorced himself from the idea of the Pirates taking advantage of their time with Skenes.

Eric Hosmer, host of "Diggin' Deep Show" on the future of umpires, watching Paul Skenes vs Aaron Judge tonight, and his own All-Star memories

Join Bryan Hayes, Frankie Corrado, and Keegan Matheson for hour 2 of OverDrive! John Gibbons joined the show to discuss the Blue Jays. The guys got into the AL MVP race and Paul Skenes' future in Pittsburgh before playing Level of Concern.

The guys talk about very tall athletes and Travis can't believe how tall and good Paul Skenes is. The ESPY's are tonight and D'Marco has an ESPYs Story that you want to hear. Plus, the Lakers and LeBron have not had any formal discussions about a trade or buyout so far he will be at training camp. This is a win-win situation for the Lakers right?

The Tigers' flaws were exposed against the Mariners, but focusing on bullpen issues and potentially adding Paul Skenes could make the Tigers unstoppable. The break couldn't come at a better time as Detroit looks to regroup and refocus for the second half of the season. --Voicemail call in: (219) 413-9405Instagram: @TheRunPodcastFacebook: PodcastTheRunYouTube: The Run with Manny WilsonTheRunUSA.com

Mike and Charlie discussed the latest news regarding LSU baseball's recruiting. The guys interviewed Jim Derry, the host of the "Dattitude" podcast, Robert "The Real Deal" Trujillo, a lightweight power slap champion, and Kendall Rogers, the co-owner of D1Baseball.com. Mike, Charlie, and Jeff played their daily "Triple Option" segment. Jeff and Charlie previewed the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, featuring Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes and Detroit's Tarik Skubal. Chris Knoche, the color analyst for Maryland basketball, shared what Pelican fans can expect from rookie big man Derik Queen. Jeff and Charlie also spoke to Mike Hoss, the voice of the Saints, about New Orleans' upcoming training camp.

Devin McCourty told us Bill Belichick kept everyone in check and the Patriots did have a chip on their shoulder. Mike Tomlin's words on Antonio Brown's Facebook live had no effect on the Patriots. He didn't have an issue with it. Dorian in McKees Rocks said he talked to Paul Skenes and Skenes doesn't ski.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Noah Hiles gives it a 10% chance for Oneil Cruz and 1% chance for Paul Skenes to sign a long-term extension. % chance players are dealt. Mark Kaboly said T.J. Watt wants five years, four years guaranteed, and to be the highest-paid edge rusher. Mark said that's the starting point, before the Steelers meet in the middle. The disconnect is being paid more than Garrett and the Steelers are going to point to Watt being 15 months older.

Noah gives it a 10% chance for Oneil Cruz and 1% chance for Paul Skenes to sign a long-term extension. Noah thinks both sides are wondering with Cruz if his full potential will be reached. He doesn't think Skenes will demand a trade, the Pirates will likely move him regardless. If they start winning, the conversation around Skenes changes. % chance players are dealt.

Paul Skenes dominated in the All-Star Game. Should Paul Skenes request a trade in the next year if the Pirates don't add bats? Austin called the situation embarrassing. The All-Star Game ended in a swing off instead of ending in a tie. BREAKING - Pirates trade Adam Frazier to the Kansas City Royals for Cam Devanney.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Paul Skenes dominated in the All-Star Game. BREAKING - Pirates trade Adam Frazier to the Kansas City Royals for Cam Devanney. Donny's wedding is the talk of Pittsburgh. Joe is frustrated with Bryan Reynolds and Jason Stark picked him as a top 3 candidate for LVP.

ITL Lunch-Time Confessions: Somebody rescue Paul Skenes?

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if SP Paul Skenes will have a better future with the Pirates than what were seeing in current times. July 16, 2025, 6:00 Hour

Paul Skenes started his second All Star Game last night, but the guys were bothered by something. Skenes was great as he went 1-2-3 in the 1st inning. There was no shot taken at the Pirates organization for how they have handled their first full season with Skenes. Nothing from the broadcast mentioning or eluding to how great of a pitcher he is on such a bad team. Does Major League Baseball have a problem with the Pirates way of business? If they did, why did it seem like last night's lack of criticism meant a gag order was in place?

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike says that the fact that Watt's contract is so expensive, it makes sense for him to hold out. He also says that TJ's holdout is far more likely this year than it was in 2021. He says the door to a potential TJ Watt trade is “at least cracked”. The Steelers need to know when they can escape a bad deal in a potential contract with Watt. Mike says he'd be stunned if the Steelers end up tied to Watt for three years. Mike thinks Micah Parsons should want TJ Watt to sign his deal first. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi believes that a hold-in is more likely than a holdout for TJ Watt and the Steelers. The Pirates are failing Paul Skenes similarly to how the Bengals defense is failing Joe Burrow and the rest of the offense. Cam Heyward was vocal and said that the players want TJ Watt to remain a Steeler. Aditi thinks that the Steelers front office is disrespecting TJ Watt. Donny Football Debrief – A list that ranked the top 10 defenses since 2000 did not include any from the Steelers. The guys agree that this is ridiculous. How many defenses would you put ahead of the 2008 Steelers?

The Pirates have traded Adam Frazier to kickstart the trade deadline moves. They are sending Frazier back to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Cam Devanney, who is 28 and has yet to make his MLB debut despite good power numbers in AAA this season. They got something for Frazier and that's probably better than what we could have expected. Has the outline for this team ever looked worse? We looked at some comparisons between this team and the 2010 Pirates, a squad that lost 105 games. Who are the other players that will be on the move? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Poni questioned Jeff for saying the Pirates should make Oneil Cruz the highest-paid player in their history. Jeff said it's all about Paul Skenes and the finite amount of time they have to win with him here. Jeff said he's willing to bet on the potential of Cruz and that's why he'd give him $22M/year. Jeff pleaded that at some point the Pirates need to take a chance. Would the Pirates go out in free agency and sign a player like Cruz while they still have Skenes? Judge Donny.

If they did, why did it seem like last night's lack of criticism meant a gag order was in place? Is there even a 1% chance of Paul Skenes re-signing in Pittsburgh? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The NHL schedule is out and we looked at a few of the highlights on the Penguins docket, including a trip to Sweden in November. TK talked about the trip the team took there in 2009 when he began the season with 2 goals in 2 games. The guys let Tyler react to the report that surfaced earlier this week about Mario Lemieux possibly repurchasing the Penguins. Tyler said Mario rebuying the team would be huge for all parties involved. Tyler thinks Mario is too competitive to keep seeing the Penguins miss the playoffs.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He gives his thoughts on a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter that the number of years in his next contract has become the sticking point in contract negotiations with T.J. Watt. Should GM Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin give into the demands of a player who will turn 31 this season? Or hold firm and not commit to him for too long on a defense that already includes older players such as Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay Jr.? Paul offers his thoughts on those questions, then tackles MLB All-Star week in Atlanta. What should we make of Oneil Cruz's second-round exit in the Home Run Derby on Monday night? And what can we expect from Paul Skenes as he start the game on the mound for the National League for the second year in a row?

Jeff and Charlie responded to a text from a WWL listener about Skenes and Joe Burrow.

Mike and Charlie interviewed Kendall Rogers, the co-owner of D1Baseball.com. Rogers evaluated LSU's additions in the transfer portal: Oregon State INF Trent Caraway and Grand Canyon 1B Zach Yorke.

Mike, Charlie, and Jeff played their daily "Triple Option" segment. Jeff celebrated Jimmy Graham completing his "Arctic Row." Charlie discussed Paul Skenes' second career start in the MLB All-Star Game. Mike projected Taliese Fuaga to be among the best right tackles in the NFC.

Paul Skenes is a special talent, Poni mentions the unfortunate scenario that Pirates fans have to “stop and smell the roses with Skenes”. Poni also thinks that Oneil Cruz is not a player that a team should build around. Chris thinks the Pirates have underwhelmed in general when finding talent.

Bucco Auction House – Round 11. Donny shows faith in Oneil Cruz post HRD. The guys don't know how to predict Paul Skenes win total post All-Star Break. How many games will the Pirates out of their last 65?

Poni also thinks that Oneil Cruz is not a player that a team should build around. Chris thinks the Pirates have underwhelmed in general when finding talent. Poni decided to start trying in Cam Heyward's softball game after he got rocked in the first inning. He thinks that people thought he took the game to seriously. James Harrison was not a fan of Callas' pitching. Bucco Auction House – Round 11. Donny shows faith in Oneil Cruz post HRD.

Paul Skenes is set to start his second All Star Game tonight in Atlanta. Poni listed off a lot of great pitchers that never got the chance to do this twice. Why do things feel so bleak with Skenes in Pittsburgh? Does anyone out there still have hope that this will lead to greener pastures for Skenes before he leaves? Tonight, feels like the biggest game he will pitch all season.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 144: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: Well, there it is, finally - the perfect storm that can dethrone or at least deplete Trump and of course it's his fault. HE has openly admitted he's covering up the Epstein Files, and he has in essence confessed he's in the Epstein Files. The problem is a simple one: Trump promised to give them pedophiles. They were promised politician pedophiles. They were promised that the politicians who were covering up Epstein were the pedophiles. And then one day Trump suddenly decided to announce that HE was the politician who was covering up Epstein and he SCOLDED them and HUMILIATED them and YELLED at them for challenging his god-ordained RIGHT to cover up Epstein, and they said in their confusion “but you promised us that you would reveal the pedophile politicians that were covering up Epstein and…wait a minute... that means...” As of mid-afternoon Trump was getting ratioed, on his own social media site, nearly 4:1 by angry, confused, moronic MAGAs. They have lived and died by his insistence that only pedophile politicians personally implicated in the Epstein documents and "client list" would be keeping them from being released. Now his two conflicting piles of bull have clashed, and he has been buried under them. UNFORTUNATELY TRUMP'S RESPONSE is utterly predictable: he will double down on Trump-ISIS atrocities, on torturing immigrants. It will give his 'people' the snuff films they want and may deflect their rage, at least for awhile. But remember, any time you see ICE threatening kids, to shout "Watcha doin? Grabbing those kids so Trump can take them to Epstein Island?" B-Block (30:46) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Karoline Leavitt thinks her conference calls are being interfered with by the devil. Riley Gaines' reward for stirring up murderous hate against Trans people? She gets to audition for Fox, and conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Her skills are so varied: she's 85th best in swimming AND propaganda! And then there's winner Caitlin Francis, a rando from California who has the kind of advice only a homeschooling MAGA mother can present to you: dogs and cats have no souls, so if their vet bills exceed $1000, kill them. Say, Mrs. Francis, what's your over-under on your sick kids? (44:17) SPORTSBALLCENTER: Would you like to play in tomorrow night's baseball All-Star Game? Because that's the only stunt they have left to save the dying exhibition, now that they've decided that five big league games is sufficient experience to be an All-Star? And the floodgates may have just opened in St. Louis, where a pro sports team is eliminating its separate radio and TV play-by-play teams and simulcasting. This is the future, and it's not pretty. C-Block (1:05:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Somebody asked me what was my favorite joke that I ever did on the air. So here's a bunch - starring Albert Hall, the Takko-Bell trade, and the day the Reading Phillies set me up to get ejected from a minor league baseball game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
