Pirates insider Jason Mackey comes on The Fan Hotline to discuss the latest involving the team with fill-in host "Donny Football" Chedrick.
There are ways to get back in shape and ways to not get back in shape…. Whoah! Talk about an NBA blockbuster! The Bucks traded Giannis (finally) to Miami and this deal is a whopper. Giannis and Bobby Portis head to Miami in exchange for Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr and two other players along with draft picks, including the 13th pick in tonight's draft. :30- ICYMI: Jason Boterill The Kraken GM joined the show yesterday to talk about the moves the team made on Sunday and look ahead to the draft on Friday. :45- The Mariners are in Pittsburgh to face the Pirates starting tonight and with the way the Mariners are playing and the injuries, this series is no walk in the park. The Pirates have a top 5 offense… let that sink in. The good news is that we won't have to face Paul Skenes and they don't have any left-handed starting pitchers. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Headlines and the Draftathalon! The first of 3 drafts is tonight- the NBA Draft is tonight and it sure seems like the 1st few picks are up in the air. While we know who the players are, how the chips may fall is a mystery. :30- ABC's of the Mariners - P is for Pittsburgh Pirates: the team is in Pittsburgh starting today and that means Cole Young is returning home. - Q is for Queasy- we haven't gotten an update on Dom Canzone and his hamstring - R is for Rob Refsnyder- how long are the Mariners going to give these guys that were supposed to crush lefties? :45- The NHL Draft is on Friday- could the Kraken be shopping Shane Wright beforehand? There was so much promise and so many expectations surrounding Wright, so what happened? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Bob joined the show. Bob was been the emcee at the Stanley Marks charity golf outing the last 15 years. Bob thought Wyndham Clark shouldn't have been booed. The people at Oakmont are still upset about Clark. The membership is still not happy.
The Pirates are 39-39 and went 3-3 on the road trip. The Pirates were three games over .500 when Konnor Griffin and Oneil Cruz got hurt. This is a team that is going to hover under .500 all year. There has been much more out there for the Pirates that they haven't taken advantage of.
Bryan Reynolds is having an incredible year and is on pace for 100 runs scored and 100 RBIs. Kevin Young had 100 RBIs and 10 runs in 1999.
The Pirates traded Joey Bart to the Atlanta Braves. Joe thought it would have been better to send Henry Davis to Triple-A. Davis is a .170 career hitter and is hitting .136. Chris Sale thinks that Joey Bart has good rhythm with pitchers and that "every pitch he called was the right one."
This date in sports history. The first cricket game was in the early 1800s. Tennis player John McEnroe had an iconic rant on this day in 1981. Tom Seaver retired in 1987. In 1994 Ken Griffey Jr. broke Babe Ruth's record for homers before June.
Fill-in host "Donny Football" Chedrick and producer Nicholas "Harry" Callas discuss the continued poor results from Pirates' catcher Henry Davis after the team traded away Joey Bart and lost the series to the Colorado Rockies over the weekend.

The Pittsburgh Pirates wasted another winnable game at Coors Field, falling 2-1 to the Colorado Rockies after scoring only once and failing to bring home the tying run with the bases loaded in the ninth. Paul Skenes was not at his sharpest, but six innings and two runs should have been enough. DiNardo and Jim break down the game-ending interference call involving Billy Cook, another lifeless offensive performance, Jake Mangum's costly mistakes, how much the Pirates miss Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin, and why Carmen Mlodzinski's two scoreless innings were finally the right way to use him. The loss drops Pittsburgh below .500 and turns the series finale into a must-win game to avoid being swept in Colorado.

Braxton Ashcraft delivered the quality start the Pittsburgh Pirates desperately needed, helping them finally secure another series win. Now the rest of the rotation must follow his lead. Alex Stumpf explains why the Pirates cannot rely on their offense or struggling bullpen to carry them through the most difficult stretch of their schedule. Paul Skenes has not been as dominant, Mitch Keller continues to search for his sinker, Jared Jones is still working back into form and Bubba Chandler is trying to turn a corner with his command. With Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin sidelined, the Pirates need Skenes, Keller, Chandler and Jones to become the homegrown rotation everyone expected. Alex also discusses Bryan Reynolds' All-Star case, Braxton Ashcraft's workload and why Carmen Mlodzinski should be separated from the Jared Jones piggyback role. Presented by FanDuel.

0:00 - Jeff Legwold just published an article about how the Broncos successfully navigated the dead money from Russell Wilson's contract. They made the AFC Championship game while paying Russ $85 million not to play football. How did they pull off the impossible? Did they change the future of the NFL? Will other teams try to copy Denver's formula when it comes to dead cap hits? Leggy joined us this morning and broke down all the findings in his article. 19:35 - Back in March, Coach and Raj placed bets on when the Rockies would reach the 30 win mark. Coach Sanford predicted June 20th. Today is June 18th and the Rockies have 28 wins. The Pittsburgh Pirates are in town starting tomorrow. Can they win their next 2 games and fulfull the Sanford prophecy down to the exact day??After that, the New York Knickerbockers championship parade is underway, and they have celebrities on the parade floats/busses/whatever you wanna call them.

What are we doing here??30:19 - We're off tomorrow, which means it's time for our favorite part of the week (a little early) DRUNK TAKES!

Brandon Lowe has hit 17 home runs, provided strong defense at second base and become one of the most important players in the Pirates' improved offense. Despite that production, Lowe sits outside the leaders in the first All-Star voting update.

The Pittsburgh Pirates fell below .500 after an embarrassing 11-2 loss to the Athletics. DiNardo and Neil discuss a complete failure from the players, coaching staff and front office as poor defense, a lifeless offense and another rough Jared Jones start buried the Pirates early. They also examine the continued mishandling of Carmen Mlodzinski, Marcell Ozuna's place on the roster and whether this team can survive the injuries to Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin.

The Pirates are 36-37 and are nine games out of first in the division. They are only six games in the loss column of the Giants. The Cardinals have beaten up on the Pirates and rebuilt faster than the Pirates. The piggyback strategy hasn't worked. Are the Pirates going to be a seller instead of a buyer? The Pirates could stay in it, but this is a spiral.
Should the Pirates listen on Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz? We are curious what their futures are if the Pirates sell at the MLB trade deadline. The Pirates are at a crossroads. We hear from Pirates fans who are ok with the Pirates listening on offers. Do you trust Ben Cherington to make great trades?
John Tortorella will not return as Vegas Golden Knights head coach. NHL has the shortest time frame for coaches' job security of all sports. The Pirates are 2-10 without Oneil Cruz in the lineup. Mitch Keller's numbers the last three games are very bad. Keller has an ERA of 13.28 and has struggled in every aspect.
Michael McKenry doesn't think the Pirates are using Carmen Mlodzinski best and should be in a hybrid pitching role. Michael thinks Henry Davis should go to AAA. Paul Skenes has lost his last six starts and Michael thinks the Pirates would move Davis to the minors. We would like to see Konnor Griffin return and DH, but Michael thinks the concern is Griffin sliding and messing up his arm.
Where Pirates rank on the All-Star Game fan voting standings. Brandon Lowe has received the most votes. No Pirate ranks higher fifth.

When the New York Knicks snapped their 53-year championship drought this past weekend, it showed how long the fan base had been suffering before finally being able to celebrate a title. However, there are quite a few teams in baseball that can commiserate with what Knicks fans have been going through and hope to one day bring a championship back home. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at the current title-less droughts in MLB, led by the Cleveland Guardians, who haven't won since 1948, and the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres, neither of whom has yet to win a World Series since their debuts in 1969. Along with the Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Mets and others, which team will be next to break its drought? Later, Jake and Jordan discuss two standout pitching performances from this weekend: Jacob Misiorowski, who threw a Maddux for the Brewers, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who flirted with perfection en route to a Los Angeles Dodgers victory. They then recap Tarik Skubal's return to the mound, the Tartan Army taking over Fenway Park during the Boston Red Sox–Texas Rangers game and offer thoughts on players giving mixed messages regarding the annual San Francisco Giants Pride Night. 1:59 – The Opener: Next title drought to end 37:11 – Around The League: The Miz throws a Maddux 47:00 – Yamamoto flirts with perfection 56:22 – Skubal returns to the Tigers 1:04:52 – Turbo Mode: Tartan Army invades 1:10:01 – Giants Pride Night kerfuffle 1:14:57 – Recap of weekend action Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
Is this the greatest season we've ever seen in baseball history? In this week's This Week in Shohei Ohtani News, we break down another unbelievable stretch from Shohei Ohtani as he continues to dominate both as a pitcher and a hitter at the same time. Ohtani currently leads MLB in both OPS and ERA, a combination that simply shouldn't exist. Through 10 starts on the mound, he's posting one of the lowest ERAs in baseball history while also hitting over .300 with elite production at the plate. We dive into the numbers, the historic comparisons, and why what we're watching right now may be unprecedented even in the long history of Major League Baseball. From 0.74 ERA dominance to elite offensive production, on pace for one of the highest WAR seasons ever recorded, everything about Shohei Ohtani right now is pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible. This episode is all about appreciating greatness — because we may be watching something we'll never see again. We also dive into his 11th start on the mound against the Pittsburgh Pirates and how he did at the plate as well, blasting his 12th HR of the season!
