Mike and Rico discuss last night's altercation between some Tigers fans and Pirates players.

While his nickname suggested otherwise, Paul Waner was good for whatever was ailing the Pirates for 15 of his 20 big league seasons. But 83 years ago this week, after moving on from the Bucs, Big Poison would cement his Hall of Fame legacy by becoming the seventh player to reach 3,000 career hits. Mike and Bill look back on a deserving Hall of Famer and find are surprised to find that his nickname was a misnomer on both ends. He was neither big, nor dished out more poison than he ingested. Plus, happy birthday to Sandy Alomar Jr and Brett Butler! And farewell to Chito Martinez and Tom Brown.

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

On this brand new edition of Cubs On Tap, Nick and Ron are back on the mics after Father's Day weekend! The Chicago Cubs took 3 of 4 from the Pittsburgh Pirates, and on Tuesday night, the Cubs took care of business in the first game of a three-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers. The duo dive into some of the big storylines from the Pirates series, paying compliments to the starting pitching and bullpen despite a lack of runs scored. That said, good teams win games no matter how its done. From there, the crew dives into Tuesday's win. The offense broke out a bit, some Dinger points were awarded, and the MVPCA conversation is very real in Chicago. Add on some rabbit holes and it makes for a heck of a show. The comment section's questions and a preview of the remaining two games against Milwaukee helps the boys close out episode 30 of the season!

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if the Pirates are doing SP Bubba Chandler a disservice by leaving him in the minor leagues as long as they have now.

Joe Starkey thinks it's completely ridiculous that T.J. McConnell did not play for Indiana late in the 4th quarter after electrifying the team in the 3rd. Konnor Griffin is killing the ball at High-A Greensboro. Griffin was named player of the week and batting .401 with a 1.247 OPS.

Starkey's mailbag. How much longer will Tommy Pham be here? The Pirates have signed guys to one-year deals that haven't worked out and can be combined to pay a big free agent. The Pirates did well with Aroldis Chapman when they paid him $10 million. They need to pay a bat.

Should Paul Skenes hit? Oneil Cruz's power numbers are down and isn't making enough hard contact. Michael wouldn't be surprised if they move Cruz down the order for a time. Michael thinks Ke'Bryan Hayes has been in-between hitting the ball out in front or being more like IKF making good contact.

Former Pirates' OF Travis Snider comes on The Fan Hotline to talk to Adam Crowley about what the Pirates winning culture felt like from 2013-2015.

Joe doesn't think the Pirates are that far away from a playoff spot. Don Kelly thinks the Pirates are close and played well against Chicago. If you bring in a star hitter or two, things could change for the Pirates. Ben Cherington won't do it, and we don't understand it. Austin thinks the Pirates need two bats to lengthen the lineup and one bat wouldn't be enough.

The Pirates are a few hitters away from contention. Austin thinks they have to acquire more than one. The Pirates have 12 home runs from their infielders. Is Nick Gonzales good enough? Horwitz, Gonzales, IKF, and Hayes have seven home runs. How far away are they??

A recent national baseball story did not include Ben Cherington as someone on the hot seat. Buster Olney points to Seattle and Baltimore. Cherington is too comfortable and won't make a move. Why? We hear from Pirates fans who are upset about the offense and not acquiring any hitters. Tommy Pham is 0-18 in June.

The Pirates continue to lose one-run games. They are not going anywhere this season and could sort of be called a "lost season." There is no urgency for change. Joe thinks the owner should step in to cut Tommy Pham and play Henry Davis. Can the Pirates trade part of their pitching to acquire a bat? When can you determine if a young guy can hit?

Evgeni Malkin is reportedly not going to be back with the Penguins following the 2025-26 campaign when his contract is done. Evgeni Malkin trivia. Austin does a decent job. The Pirates have 89 games left and Joe thinks if they add one star bat, they will be a .500 team the rest of the season. Andrew McCutchen said the baseballs are dying at the warning track and he asked the MLB about it and they said there's nothing they can do about it.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss whether or not the Pirates should let SP Paul Skenes hit for the team when he's not pitching.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss some of the best finishing sports moments and other exciting events that have involved Pittsburgh in history.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if SP Paul Skenes will win the Cy Young despite his pitching record and the Pirates' overall poor performance.

Austin Layton joined Cory Phillips to break down the Cincinnati Reds defeating the Detroit Tigers 11-1 at Comerica Park. Tyler Stephenson hit a grand slam in a six-run fifth inning, while Elly De La Cruz, Spencer Steer, and Matt McLain also homered.

The Reds, now 36-35, snapped a two-game skid, while the Tigers, still leading the AL at 46-25, struggled with Jack Flaherty giving up seven runs in 4 2/3 innings. De La Cruz also made a standout defensive play, throwing out a runner at the plate.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to the Pirates' loss to the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.

T.J. McConnell shined for the Indiana Pacers to take a 2-1 series lead. Austin makes the case for Andrew McCutchen to make the Hall of Fame. Joe does not think Andrew McCutchen is a Hall of Famer and just below the line. What would you ask for in a trade for McCutchen's 241st home run ball?

The Bengals don't want to pay Shemar Stewart the rookie contract he thinks he's worth. Adam Schefter said the Steelers were 'all in' on Matthew Stafford. They also wanted to bring back Justin Fields but couldn't agree to a contract. Sean McVay said it was a possibility that Aaron Rodgers could have been the Rams QB! If the Steelers truly wanted Fields, they would have committed to him.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson make a case for why Pirates' OF/DH Andrew McCutchen deserves to be in the MLB Hall Of Fame.

PM Team FULL show 6-12-2025

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. What would happen if the Pirates did get a call on Paul Skenes? Are they going to trust Ben Cherington to do anything big at the trade deadline? Jason thinks the biggest name that could be on the move by the deadline is Mitch Keller.

In this week's edition of Fair Or Foul, Patrick and Joe try to guess who the worst home run hitting teams are in the league, discuss the future of Bryce Harper, and more.

In Hour 2, Patrick and Joe wonder if MLB will actually let Cal Raleigh participate in the Home Run Derby or not, dive into a weird proposed sale of the Chicago White Sox, and more.

Joe disagreed with Don Kelly having Adam Frazier attempt to bunt. Frazier has been one of the Pirates' hottest hitters and both Henry Davis and Ke'Bryan Hayes couldn't deliver a tying or winning hit in the 9th. Which Pirates will be traded? Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz aren't going anywhere. Should Mitch Keller be traded for a bat?

Dan didn't have a problem with Adam Frazier attempting to bunt with two on and no one out in the 9th. Dan thinks Mitch Keller, David Bednar, and Dennis Santana could be on the table at the trade deadline. Scouts from other organizations that Dan Zangrilli has talked to this week think Bubba Chandler is not quite ready for the majors and needs to cut down on walks.

Pirates' broadcaster John Wehner comes on The Fan Hotline to talk to Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson about what's got the team playing so well lately.
