In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to react to Kenny Pickett's camp attempting to shoot down negative narratives that surrounded his exit from the Steelers. Do comments by his high school coach and private QB coach to NJ.com amount to sour grapes about the way last season ended with Mason Rudolph taking the starting job? Or about the Steelers signing Russell Wilson? Or are any of the gripes from Pickett's people legit? Should any of the rumors about his strong offseason behind Jalen Hurts with the Philadelphia Eagles be believed? And will Pickett ever achieve redemption as a Steelers pariah like Le'Veon Bell has in recent years? Then on the Pirates front, our duo ponders GM Ben Cherington's options at the MLB trade deadline. Should every prospect be on the table as an option to move in exchange for a solid bat? Even names like Termarr Johnson and Bubba Chandler? And should the success Roansy Contreras has had with the Los Angeles Angels concern anyone yet? Our duo tackles those questions and also offers thoughts on Pitt's Bub Carrington being selected in the NBA draft and moves Penguins GM Kyle Dubas should consider ahead of NHL free agency on July 1.

The CraftNick and Eno talk about the craft of pitching, with conversations revolving around a select few pitchers.This week's episode focuses on conversations centered around discussions about Brayan Bello, David Festa, Hayden Birdsong, Roansy Contreras, Jake Irvin, Aaron Civale. and more.

Take 10 with Tim – Saturday, May 18 @ 8 am1.The Pirates DFA'd, Roansy Contreras and then traded him to the Angels. Will this be another reclamation of a failed Pirates starter or someone to avoid?2.How worried are you about Ronald Acuna? The Braves gave him Thursday off as a baseball “De-Tox” day. He's slashing .245/.354/.342, which looks more like his 2022 season than his 2023 season. Will 2023 be his outlier season?3.The White Sox acquired Corey Julks from the Astros as he was likely going to be DFA'd. He had some good games last year with the Astros and has played pretty well this year in Triple-A. I would think he would get a chance. Any interest?4.Who are you most surprised with this season between the following pairs?a.Ryan Jeffers 10 home runs or Brent Rookers' 10 home runsb.Randy Arozarena's .159 batting average or Corbin Carroll's .193 batting averagec.William Contreras' .359 batting average or Jeremey Pena's .329 batting averaged.Carlos Rodon health or Tyler Glasnow healthe.Ranger Suarez arguably being the best pitcher in the league to-date or Shota Imanaga arguably being the best pitcher in the leaguef.Dylan Cease's bounce back or Jack Flaherty'sg.Tanner Bibee's 4.34 ERA or Michael King's 4.31 ERAh.Kyle Finnegan's league-leading 13 saves or Suarez's 12 savesi.The Astros' 18 and 25 start or the Blue Jays 19 and 23 start5.A lot of people drafted and have kept Jasson Dominguez on their benches/IL. He's rehabbing now. What are odds he starts back in Triple-A after his rehab?a.Should managers be prepared to drop him or still hold onto him?6.I released my updated Top 400 Prospects to our Patreon subscribers and the Top 100 for everyone. Let's do one segment on questions you might have. Just a handful. Maybe certain players, when a guy might be up….anything. 7.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?8.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?

On his weekly First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey takes stock of where the Pirates stand after 44 games, on a 70-win pace. How fair would it be for owner Bob Nutting to be losing patience with GM Ben Cherington and manager Derek Shelton, as young hitters including Henry Davis, Jack Suwinski and Nick Gonzales continue to struggle and young pitchers like Quinn Priester and Roansy Contreras are being shipped out via DFA and the minors? And what happened to the "player-centric" development model Cherington promised, as the club seems to be imposing a cookie-cutter approach on hitters offensively? Jason tackles those questions, then reacts to the Steelers schedule, released Wednesday, that includes four primetime games as well as a Christmas Day matchup with Patrick Mahomes, Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs at Acrisure Stadium.

The Pirates have traded Roansy Contreras to the LA Angels. Will he thrive outside of the Pirates organization like we've seen from many others? We discussed the issues within the player development and what has happened with this regime.

The Steelers got screwed by the schedule makers in what appears to be record-setting bar in terms of strength. Is strength of schedule really the best barometer? Whether you think so or not, on paper, the Steelers schedule is brutal in the final 8 weeks. The Pirates have traded Roansy Contreras to the LA Angels. Will he thrive outside of the Pirates organization like we've seen from many others? We discussed the issues within the player development and what has happened with this regime. There is controversy afoot. Joe Starkey posted an 83 on the golf course the other day – that part is legit. However, Joe has failed to post his actual score to the golf association in fear that his handicap will go down. Is this a deliberate act from Joe? Joe then called in to defend his honor.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the club's 8-6 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night. Is it time to give shortstop Oneil Cruz credit for emerging from his early-season slump? How much longer can general manager Ben Cherington let Rowdy Tellez struggle at first base?  And will the Pirates cum to regret designating Roansy Contreras for assignment to make room for Paul Skenes on the MLB roster? Jason tackles those questions, then explains why he prefers the Steelers' QB situation with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to the $212 million contract that the Detroit Lions just gave to Jared Goff.

The Pirates have DFA'd Roansy Contreras and we think it is a puzzling move. We are worried that a team with better development will turn him into a star after all. 

The Pirates have DFA'd Roansy Contreras and we think it is a puzzling move. We are worried that a team with better development will turn him into a star after all.  Pirates scribe John Perrotto from Pittsburgh Baseball Now joined the show. Chris asked John his thoughts on the Paul Skenes debut and what he makes of Skenes as a prospect. John talked about what the Pirates plan should be to build around some of the good young pitchers. John doesn't like the lack of accountability within that building, especially when the team plays poorly. John said at some point you just have to play your best players. John left us on a positive note about Oneil Cruz, who has been raking over the last couple weeks.  Donny Football Debrief – The NFL kickoff game is set. Schedule release on Wednesday. 

Hour 1 with Dorin Dickerson and Adam Crowley: The Pirates have started the season 5-0 for the first time since 83. Connor Joe is hot at the plate and playing multiple positions. Crowley thinks the bullpen and lineup can be sustainable and the bullpen will have a top 10 ERA. Come from behind wins have powered the Bucs and Dorin thinks it could make the Pirates dangerous. Callers share their Pirates opinions. The Pirates are young with a ton of talent. It's easier to watch this team than many in the past. Henry Davis, Jack Suwinski, Jared Jones, and many others create optimism. We hear from callers. Roansy Contreras wasn't good in the second inning he pitched. For the 19th consecutive season, Sidney Crosby will average a point per game in his NHL career. Only Wayne Gretzky has achieved 19 in a row. He's trying to will them to the playoffs. 

On the Pitching In podcast this week, Post-Gazette insider Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to break down all the biggest storylines from Pirates spring training in Bradenton, Fla. Will GM Ben Cherington add to this rotation in meaningful ways before the season begins? Or will names like Chase Anderson and Jared Jones be the most likely to join the likes of Mitch Keller, Marco Gonzales and Martin Perez on the opening day staff? Are prospects like Roansy Contreras and Quinn Priester squandering their opportunities? And how did guys like Paul Skenes look in the MLB Breakout game against the Orioles?Our duo tackles those topics as well as some lineup questions. How seriously should we take strong springs from Henry Davis and Oneil Cruz? Is a quiet spring from Rowdy Tellez and concern? How are things shaping up in right field? What about the second base competition between Liover Peguero, Jared Triolo and others? And is this team poised to go over or under the Vegas win total of 74.5 wins?

The Pirates season hinges on Roansy Contreras and Henry Davis. If the Pirates don't sign another starting pitcher, Crowley thinks Contreras is the most important starter in the rotation. 

Hour 4 with Dorin Dickerson and Adam Crowley: The Pirates season hinges on Roansy Contreras and Henry Davis. If the Pirates don't sign another starting pitcher, Crowley thinks Contreras is the most important starter in the rotation. Oneil Cruz is leading off for the Pirates today. We envision what the Pirates lineup could be and if Cruz should bat leadoff. Pitt basketball has to win tonight, and the remainder of the season, if they want to get into the NCAA Tournament. 15 years ago, today, the Penguins traded for Chris Kunitz. That's the type of player the Penguins need. He was great with Crosby and a timely player. 

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith is joined by Gary Morgan on Tuesday, and the duo discusses some early Spring Training thoughts from the Pittsburgh Pirates, including Termarr Johnson's big Monday, Roansy Contreras and his spring debut and so much more. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsWith all the parts you need at the prices you want, it's easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to break down the Pirates signings of outfielder Andrew McCutchen and Martin Perez in the last 24 hours. Can McCutchen still produce over a whole season? How long might his second act with the club last? And how does Perez fit into the rotation alongside the recently acquired Marco Gonzales? Our duo tackles those questions and also looks ahead to what's next. Could there and should there be another move for a starting pitcher coming? Is it reasonable to expect such a pitcher to be a No. 2 behind Mitch Keller? And how do young players including Roansy Contreras, Quinn Priester and Paul Skenes fit into pitch plans for the years ahead?

Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting Johan Oviedo may need Tommy John Surgery for the Pirates. This is VERY BAD and the rotation depth is not there. Quinn Priester, Luis Ortiz, and Roansy Contreras don't inspire confidence. The Pirates need to add multiple starting pitchers and focus on it in free agency in trades. This changes a lot for the Bucs. 

Hour 1: The Steelers are 6-3 and not turning the football over. Buffalo had 12 guys on the field when Denver missed a game-winning field goal! The Bills might not make the playoffs, while the Steelers are in a great spot. Josh Allen has an interception in six-straight games. Pickett has gone five-straight games without an interception. The Steelers are 10-1 when Kenny Pickett starts and closes the game without a turnover. Would the Bills have won against Denver if Kenny Pickett was their quarterback? Austin doesn't think you can be a true Super Bowl contender unless you have one of the top 5-7 quarterbacks. The Steelers are running the ball at a great clip now. They don't turn the ball over! The defense forces turnovers and Broderick Jones has helped the running game. The Raiders are better once they fire a coach for the second time in a few years. Dorin wants to see the Ravens beat the Bengals and stop Cincinnati's playoff chances. It further helps to try and eliminate a possible playoff team. The Bengals are lacking AFC wins and have a tough schedule to close the season. Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting Johan Oviedo may need Tommy John Surgery for the Pirates.

On their weekly baseball show, Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Jason Mackey and Andrew Destin analyze general manager Ben Cherington's comments to reporters earlier this week.

What are the options at second base if Oneil Cruz is healthy enough to retake his spot at shortstop? Is that position Liover Peguero's to lose? And where do names including Nick Gonzales, Henry Davis and Miguel Andujar fit into the club's future? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Learn more about your ad choices.
