Greg Brown joins the show! Will the Pirates play tonight? The smoke in the air in Cleveland is casting doubt over whether tonight's game will be played. Do the Pirates need another starter? Greg says every team could use another arm and the Pirates would be one of those teams open to it. He says the Keller mystery is still one that needs to be solved.

Will the Pirates add another arm to the bullpen? Dorin says they will, whether it is the right arm or not. Crowley and Dorin are not fans of the Brandon Eisert part of the trade. Will Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz continue their success when they return from the injured list?

Yesterday's Quiz Dom went viral. The guys continue to dive into Bill Barnwell's list of players that can fetch a first round pick for the Steelers. Crowley just does not see Benton getting a first round pick. Crowley will be seeing the live action Moana movie and has a semi-mental breakdown.

With the Steelers playing on Black Friday this year, the amount of leftover food will be a sight to see. Crowley continues to try and fix sports. ESPN sent out a list of potential trade targets for all teams. ESPN says that the Pirates need to add a couple of arms(duh), to become more of a contender. Crowley does not see the Marlins as a good team just a hot team. Crowley has some questions about what it will take for the Pirates to make the playoffs.

The Pitt upset of Clemson is making its rounds on Twitter. Dorin discusses the game and the speech he gave before it. What would have happened if the NCAA had a playoff format in the latter part of the 2000s. Brownie compared Esmerlyn Valdez to Aramis Ramirez. The guys would absolutely take Ramirez's career for Valdez.

Chris Carter joins us from his vacation to talk about the Steelers! Bill Barnwell's list yesterday of Steelers who could be worth a first round pick in a trade. Chris says that five out of the six Steelers on the list make some sense but a first-round pick for Keanu Benton is not something he would expect. He thinks that Benton would fetch a second-round pick and command a high price tag in the free agent market but not a first-round pick in a trade. A lot has been made about the potential upcoming Joey Porter Jr. extension, what will a Benton extension look like? Yesterday's Quiz Dom went viral. The guys continue to dive into Bill Barnwell's list of players that can fetch a first round pick for the Steelers. Crowley just does not see Benton getting a first round pick. Crowley will be seeing the live action Moana movie and has a semi-mental breakdown. Quiz Charlie! He tries to do a better job than Dom did yesterday. The result: he gets four right. But this quiz was incredibly hard. As Donny Football said, it wasn't exactly "Where did Jack Ham go to college".

We're onto the second half of the Pirates season. If the Pirates don't make the playoffs but have a better record, Ben Cherington will definitely say "We made strides," which will anger Crowley. Crowley is also not up to date on pop culture and a recent New York Post headline has him very confused. Crowley has a bone to pick with the NHL and MLB. Both sports released their schedules on the same day. What were they thinking?

Jeff had a great call yesterday from someone suggesting transitioning Oneil Cruz from an outfielder to a pitcher. The guys are very happy that the All-Star Break is over and the nightmare of no sports will end. If the Pirates win 86 games and miss the playoffs would fans be satisfied? Dorin says he wouldn't be. He says that would irritate Pirates fans because they didn't address the issues early enough and put themselves in completely avoidable situations. I say I would be satisfied. Crowley agrees with Dorin. I am wrong. Not making the playoffs is the be-all and end-all.

Paul Skenes had a very weird interaction with a reporter last night. During his media availability, a reporter called him a "future Yankee". Crowley says that this is the only sport where that happens. The reporter was chastised by many in the Pittsburgh media. The All Star Game is meant to be fun and now it has been tarnished for Pirates fans. Jeff Passan said that the new format was going to suck, Bryce Harper kicked Rob Manfred out of a locker room, and Paul Skenes was told he is going to be a future Yankee. This is where we are in baseball right now. Crowley says we are entering a very dark period in the sport.

This is where we are in baseball right now. Crowley says we are entering a very dark period in the sport. What is the thing that snakes live in called? Crowley breaks down his top four moments from the Pirates' first half of the season. Bryan Reynolds' walk-off home run vs old friend Derek Shelton, Esmerlyn Valdez's grand slam, Tyler Callihan hitting his home run off Shohei Ohtani, and Ryan O'Hearn's 3 home runs and 10 RBIs make up the list. A lot of people texted in that Konnor Griffin's RBI double in his debut should have been among Crowley's best moments.This is the most fun Pirates team to watch since when? Even though there have been some really bad losses so far this year, they have been a lot of fun to watch. Nick Yorke's walk off single in the series against the Orioles is another honorable mention. Crowley says don't eat your veggies unless you cook them. There is something going around and veggies are to blame. Apple Cider season is almost upon us meaning it is almost time for football.

Who wants to be smarter than a plumber? South Side Jake apologizes for missing last week's show. I got a hockey question wrong. The guys get one question right. The MLB had the youngest player ever drafted who then actually played for the Pirates in the 1979 season.

Jason did not see the woman call Paul Skenes a future Yankee to his face. Jason was with Braxton Ashcraft at the time. Jason says that it is problematic in many aspects of the sport, especially the media. It irritates Jason, a member of the media. Skenes talked about his dip in velocity. Did Skenes have any ideas why his velocity is down? Jason has indeed consumed a cheesesteak in Philly.

Who are the guys' picks for MVP of the Pirates so far? Crowley says that Esmerlyn Valdez is his pick. Nick Gonzales gets an underrated honorable mention. Brandon Lowe has fallen off a little bit in recent weeks but he has still shown he is a main contributor

Jeff Hatthorn joins the show! Does Jeff have hope that the Pirates make the playoffs? He believes they can make it especially if Paul Skenes pitches better in the second half. He also points out that Braxton Ashcraft is entering uncharted territory regarding innings pitched. Jeff also says he does not care what it costs for someone like Josh Hader or Aroldis Chapman because everything else on the team is there. Who is more likely to be cut: Roman Wilson or Mason Rudolph? Status quo on everything related to Jason Robertson. Could the Penguins offer sheet Connor Bedard?

7-13 Fan Morning Show Full Show

7-13 Fan Morning Show 8am Hour: Our very own Dan Zangrilli joins the show to recap the Pirates' successful weekend. Dan and Dorin were bad at math in school. Dan says he likes the trade the Pirates made but wouldn't say they 'won' the deal. He also likes that the Pirates addressed a need and says a different GM wouldn't make that trade if Cherington had tons of job security. Is Dan confident that the Pirates can make the playoffs? They need to win 39 games to reach the 89 win mark, which Dan says would be the threshold for making the playoffs. It is doable, but reaching that mark will be difficult. Dan says that "anyone with an arm" needs to have a good second half for the Pirates to have a great second half of the season, specifically Mitch Keller. Producer Charlie may or may not have said my fiancée sounds like a grazing cattle when she chews gum. Crowley has gum in his mouth and is paranoid people can hear him chewing. Exactly how bad of a year has Mitch Keller had? John Wehner joins the show! What did Wehner see from Esmerlyn Valdez over the weekend? Without him, the Pirates would not have won either game on Saturday. He says that Valdez's approach is elite for someone his age. The pitching staff is getting shelled and Bill Murphy is getting bad press. Matt Hague has not been talked about enough and deserves more credit according to Hague. When things go well, no one gets credit. When things go badly, their name is the only thing you hear. There is a viral video going around of a grown man being tossed around like a small child by a buffalo. How much would you be paid to get into a ring with a buffalo? My theory is that the buffalo wanted to trample the woman in the Dolphins jersey but was respectful enough to go after the grown man in the overalls instead.

7-13 Fan Morning Show 6am Hour: The Pirates swept the Brewers over the weekend. They are the highest scoring team in baseball. The guys thought the Pirates would be eight games back when today started. However, the Pirates completely reversed those expectations. Dorin wishes this had happened after the All Star break or a couple of weeks before. Can the Pirates continue their momentum on Friday against Cleveland? Is it too late for Esmerlyn Valdez to be considered for NL ROY? Paul Skenes also says he wishes the All Star Break started later so they can keep the momentum going. How would you grade the first half of the season? The offense has been great, but the pitching and bullpen have dragged the grade down a lot. The Pirates had one player with a higher OPS last year than the entire team's OPS this year. A caller asks about potentially extending Valdez to a long term contract. Crowley asks who needs to step up in the second half to make the playoffs. Dorin says Ben Cherington. He needs to step up to solidify the bullpen so it is not a weak link anymore. The bullpen seems taxed because the starters have gone on short outings this season. Another caller grades the Pirates at a B right now. The Pirates are in the top three in most offensive categories. Pirates catchers this season have 16 home runs and also rank highly in other offensive categories even though Henry Davis is struggling. Brandon Lowe and Ryan O'Hearn, the two primary bats the Pirates acquired this offseason, account for 25% of the runs the Pirates have scored this season. The Pirates have already hit more home runs this year than they did all of last year. How much credit does Matt Hauge deserve?

Crowley is chewing gum as he tries to quit nicotine. We wish him luck as he quits nicotine. How do the guys feel about Paul Skenes? They say they feel a little better now that his last two starts were more like Skenes. Seth Hernandez had some interesting quotes while playing in the futures game. Could we maybe see Hernandez in the bullpen in September?

Ben Cherington made a trade over the weekend. Was there a better trade on the table? According to some reports, better relievers were available for what the Pirates gave up—the 34th overall pick. The White Sox also selected Jim Thome's son with the pick. This could potentially be an all-time Pirates trade. There was a potential deal with the Mets for Brooks Raley, a very good left handed reliever. The Pirates took the deal for Brandon Eisert instead.

Crowley asks who needs to step up in the second half to make the playoffs. Dorin says Ben Cherington. He needs to step up to solidify the bullpen so it is not a weak link anymore. The bullpen seems taxed because the starters have gone on short outings this season. Another caller grades the Pirates at a B right now. The Pirates are in the top three in most offensive categories.

7-13 Fan Morning Show 9am Hour: Jeremy Fowler released another list based on polled NFL execs. Josh Allen is the new number one quarterback instead of Patrick Mahomes. Crowley accidentally saw Fowler fully nude one time. Which is not a sentence I thought I would ever type. Mark is not as upset about Sam Neill's passing as we are. Quarterback talk. That's exciting. One of Dorin's kids was able to pick him up. Crowley wonders if he could pull off that feat of strength. Is Callas enjoying his time in Ireland? Does Callas enjoy the pints of Guinness he has been having? Kaboly is judging Crowley's sister for having a birthday party. Kaboly just hates fun. Where would Kaboly rank Rodgers right now in the AFC quarterback race? Kaboly, shockingly, is expecting a big year from Aaron Rodgers. His success rides on the play of his offensive tackles. Dorin has high hopes for Max Iheanachor. What were the Steelers smoking in the recent photo that came out with Aaron Rodgers?

The Pirates swept the Brewers over the weekend. They are the highest scoring team in baseball. The guys thought the Pirates would be eight games back when today started. However, the Pirates completely reversed those expectations. Dorin wishes this had happened after the All Star break or a couple of weeks before. Can the Pirates continue their momentum on Friday against Cleveland? Is it too late for Esmerlyn Valdez to be considered for NL ROY?

Ryan O'Hearn put together one of the best games in Pirates and MLB history with three home runs and a Pirate record 10 RBIs. What's the greatest individual performance you've ever seen in person? Bob and Lisa were at the game where Mario Lemieux scored five goals five different ways. Ben Roethlisberger throwing for 500 yards in back to back games. What are the best individual performances in Pittsburgh sports history?

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Ryan O'Hearn put together one of the best games in Pirates and MLB history with three home runs and a Pirate record 10 RBIs. What's the greatest individual performance you've ever seen in person? Pitt historian Sam Sciullo joined the show. Sam was at the game that Tony Dorsett ran for 303 yards against Notre Dame. Penguins historian Paul Steigerwald joined the show. Steigy was on the broadcast with Mike Lange when Mario Lemieux scored five goals five ways.

Joe discovered the new sports app 82-0. Flo Balogun is available for Team USA to play Monday in the Round of 16. Balogun was suspended with a red card in the match against Bosnia, but was overruled Sunday. Belgum has appealed. Politics has now gotten involved.

Jason Mackey joins the show! When will the Pirates cut ties with Marcel Ozuna? Mackey says that he is not being moved because who would want him? Jason says that Paul Skenes is trying to do too much. There seem to be too many pitches Skenes is trying to mix in, and he is trying to do too much off the field. He also does not think Skenes is hurt as it would be stupid to pitch him while he was injured. Skenes also has a different delivery since his first career start. Jason says that he is still not worried about Skenes. Jason says he thinks Skenes will be named to the All-Star Team based on name recognition but won't attend. Limits brings up a trade idea that Jason says is "on drugs".

Bob Walk joins the show!

A Bechtold Breakdown! World Cup, NHL Super Teams, and Andrew McCutchen's career is not over yet!

Are the Penguins still looking at Jason Robertson? Penguins fans are still obsessed with Ben Kindel and would not part with him for Robertson. What have the Penguins done so far this offseason? Has it moved the needle at all? Anthony Mantha has not signed anywhere yet. Ryan Shea got a bag from the Edmonton Oilers. Was it too much for a player who just played his first full season in the NHL?

Ray Fittipaldo joins the show! Where are the Steelers currently regarding a Joey Porter Jr. extension? Why did the Steelers get extensions done for Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington prior to JPJ's? Ray says that it would be smart for the Steelers to get the JPJ contract done before the Cristian Gonzalez contract with the Patriots. You do not want to place the Franchise Tag on him next season if you miss setting the market. Limits and Ray went through the entire conversation without talking about the quarterbacks—a true Christmas Miracle. A discussion about Limits' facial hair, what he should do, and what Joe Starkey would look like with a full beard.

What is wrong with Paul Skenes? Could there be off-the-field issues affecting him? Limits does not want to speculate unlike other people who have done so in the last few days after his career-worst outing in Philadelphia. Limits thinks that he is hurt. Callers chime in on what they think is wrong with Skenes. Buzz in Freeport does not know what PitchCom is.

Is it too hot for golf? I educate Limits on the amount of things that you pay for to put a wedding together. When he gets married in 40 years, he will understand. Are Pirates fans falling in love with Esmerlyn Valdez? With the absences of Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz, Valdez has emerged as a significant power threat. Will Valdez fall flat after a little while? Other Pirates prospects have emerged and then quickly faded. Only time will tell if Valdez can continue his hot play. Limits goes over some of the best starts for rookies in Pirates history. Valdez has had a better start than many notable names in the history of the organization. Greg in Youngstown says the Pirates should sweep the Nationals and says Valdez has the most power in the organization since Dave Parker. Aramis Ramirez would like a word. Bobby in Beaver County tells a long story about the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. We have no idea why. 

Team USA won in the Round 32 but will be without Balogun for the game Monday. Bob interviewed and golfed with John Daly.

Ned Bacheson of The Pittsburgh Grass Open joined the show. The Pittsburgh Grass Volleyball Open is celebrating its 10th anniversary. It's July 24-26 at the South Park Fairgrounds. There is a middle school, high school, and adult divisions. The event started with 35 people but last year had 1,050 people!! There is a $10,000 prize! 

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: What are the greatest comebacks in Pittsburgh sports history? Mario Lemieux is obviously No. 1 after 3.5 years in retirement. Mario put up 76 points in 43 games. Joe thinks it was the biggest story he's ever covered. Sidney Crosby coming back from concussions. James Harrison retired and came back to the Steelers. Rod Woodson returned from a torn ACL to play in the Super Bowl. James Conner coming back from battling cancer was incredible. A trip inside Joe Starkey's mailbag.

Serena Williams at age 44 is coming back to tennis. What are the greatest comebacks in Pittsburgh sports history? Mario Lemieux is obviously No. 1 after 3.5 years in retirement. Mario put up 76 points in 43 games. Joe thinks it was the biggest story he's ever covered. Sidney Crosby coming back from concussions. James Harrison retired and came back to the Steelers. Rod Woodson returned from a torn ACL to play in the Super Bowl. James Conner coming back from battling cancer was incredible.
