In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins assistant sports editor for multimedia Adam Bittner to analyze the first week of Steelers training camp. Is the hype for players including Kenny Pickett, Broderick Jones and Joey Porter Jr. too good to be true? Are middle linebackers Elandon Roberts and Cole Holcomb really performing if considering GM Omar Khan saw the need to sign Kwon Alexander this week? And is 11 wins a reasonable expectation for this roster? Our duo also tackles some Pirates topics following the Pirates trade deadline. Did the club get enough in exchange for Rich Hill, Carlos Santana, Ji-Man Choi, Rodolfo Castro and Austin Hedges? Where does Henry Davis fit now that more defensive positions have opened up? And was it the right move to hold onto Mitch Keller and David Bednar? Finally, Paul gives his thoughts on college football conference realignment, whether the Pac-12 is about to be finished and what that means for other leagues including the Big Ten, ACC and Big 12 amid rumors that Arizona, Utah and Arizona State could all be on the move after Colorado's recent defection.

Are the Philadelphia Phillies 2023 World Series Contenders? Last season Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Zack Wheeler and the Phillies caught lightning in a bottle and returned to the World Series for the first time since 2009... falling to the Houston Astros 4 games to 2. As of right now, the Phillies are in the Wild Card push, currently holding the second wild card spot in the National League, and trailing the Atlanta Braves by 11.5 games for the NL East Division. With two months left in the season, are the Phillies serious World Series contenders? The Phillies made two moves in yesterday's trade deadline, bolstering their starting rotation and bench. The Phillies traded prospect, Hao-Yu Lee, to the Detroit Tigers in exchange for pitcher Michael Lorenzen. The Phillies sent pitcher Bailey Falter to the Pittsburgh Pirates for infielder Rodolfo Castro. How do you grade Dave Dombrowski and Sam Fuld's moves at the deadline? Do the moves raise your confidence in the Phillies' postseason push?

Hour 1: The Pirates are on-pace to win 73 games, 11 more than last year, but the guys say it's not good enough. Callers weigh in. Ben Cherington says the Pirates need to start winning soon. What are the Pirates going to do at first-base?

The trade deadline has passed, and the Phillies made their moves. Are Michael Lorenzen and Rodolfo Castro enough to keep this team in playoff position?

The Pirates were active at the trade deadline, but they didn't trade away their All-Stars. We react to that and talk about the future of the Bucs. 

Patti and Pottymouth celebrate our 300th episode with a peanut gallery of friends of the pod. Manny celebrated the occasion with his 300th homer. And we hope you celebrate with a donation to  Proud to Be in Baseball. Pottymouth has a whole old out, new in, new out, old in boyfriend situation with Oswald Peraza and Rodolfo Castro. Chas McCormick's bat is ridiculously hot and his recent play in Seattle is ridiculously suspicious. Bobby Witt Jr and Drew Waters have magic in a blue bottle. Josh and Bo make some brotherly history. Pottymouth touts the appearance of vegan treats at ballparks and Patti tries to twist it into a whole air quote-y monopoly situation. We made some good calls about the Derby, where Adley made a switch-hitting splash as well as a red carpet splash with a daring suit and lovely mom and sister. 600 girls attend Baseball for All Nationals, and the US Women's National team announces their roster and the schedule for qualifying rounds.

Hour 2: The guys previewed the Pirates' upcoming homestand. What does their record need to be during it? Mueller had an issue with the TV in Studio B. The guys went over the Buccos' lineup for tonight. One player is mysteriously still not getting enough time. Mueller really enjoys a certain menu item at Chili's. Should you be on TikTok if you're above the age of 40? Donny Football Debrief. Was someone trolling Poni with their recent NFL QB tier list?

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg talked about what is going on with the team right now after the great April and abysmal May. The guys asked about the very odd situation yesterday with Tucupita Marcano being doubled up on a pop up to left field. Poni doesn't like the excuse that the Pirates are just a young team because the team isn't all that young. Greg said he wants to see Rodolfo Castro out there every day because he provides a spark in the offense that not many guys on the roster have right now. Greg talked about what Jack Suwinski brings to the offense and compares it to Castro.  GIVEAWAY.

Pirates' broadcaster Neil Walker comes on The Fan Hotline and talks about his experience as an MLB switch-hitter and what the Pirates should do with Rodolfo Castro and his switch-hitting struggles from the left side.

As the Pirates continue trying to figure out the offense, Ron and Joe ask if Pirates' infielder Rodolfo Castro would better serve the team as an exclusive right-handed hitter.

Former Pirate Neil Walker joined the show. Neil is at the grand opening of a new GetGo location today. The guys asked Neil about the current HR slump Bryan Reynolds is in and what he can do to fix it. Another player the guys are worried about is Ke'Bryan Hayes – Neil gave the guys his insight on Hayes' approach and why he can still be a really steady hitter even if he doesn't put up big power numbers. Neil talked about his journey to the major leagues and how valuable the time is in the minors. Neil commented on when we could see Henry Davis or Endy Rodriguez in Pittsburgh. The guys asked if Rodolfo Castro should consider hitting solely from the right side with his drastic change in splits from both sides of the plate. Neil backed up the playing time for Austin Hedges because of what he offers to the pitching staff and said we hear about the offense more right now because the rest of the offense is struggling. 

BREAKING NEWS: Mitch Trubisky signs an extension with the Steelers. The 2-year deal will keep Trubisky in town until at least 2025. What does this mean for the Steelers QB room and Kenny Pickett? Do the Steelers have a fear of Pickett's ability or health? And the guys wondered what the Mason Rudolph apologists will do now.  Giveaway. Former Pirate Neil Walker joined the show.

Many discussions were held in private, including talks over how the league plans to close the financial gap with the Big Ten and the Southeastern Conference.

Alford has softened his stance and says he is optimistic about the future. Golf – PGA – PGA Championship promises a strong course for the strongest field Oak Hill is tough enough in any conditions. Throw in biting colder temperatures on the eve of the PGA Championship and it was a reminder that this major figures to be a strong test. The good news for the 156 players is the weather will get warmer. Oak Hill figures to stay tough. Jordan Spieth says it’s no different from a U.S. Open. The thick rough and penal bunkers are putting a premium on accuracy. The PGA Championship begins Thursday with 99 of the top 100 players in the world. Masters champion Jon Rahm is among the favorites.

Mickelson is playing in his first PGA Championship since his stunning upset at Kiawah in 2021.

Several sports outlets based in Spain said Wednesday that Nadal would not be competing at the the clay-court Grand Slam tournament in Paris, where main-draw play begins May 28. None of the reports cited a specific source. WNBA – Becky Hammon, Las Vegas Aces coach, denies bullying player over pregnancy Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon has denied that former Aces player Dearica Hamby was bullied on her team for being pregnant, saying any ill feelings between the two came from Hamby being traded. Hammon, one of the league’s marquee figures, said Wednesday in a video call with reporters that she did nothing to warrant discipline from the WNBA, which suspended her for two games without pay after a monthslong investigation into Hamby’s allegations.

Masters champion Jon Rahm is among the favorites.

Mickelson is playing in his first PGA Championship since his stunning upset at Kiawah in 2021.

Hammon, one of the league’s marquee figures, said Wednesday in a video call with reporters that she did nothing to warrant discipline from the WNBA, which suspended her for two games without pay after a monthslong investigation into Hamby’s allegations.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg talked about the Jim Leyland Cup starting tonight in Detroit between the Pirates and Tigers. Greg got into what could be afoot with Rodolfo Castro, who is out of the lineup again tonight. Greg isn't worried about Ke'Bryan Hayes not crushing the baseball because that defense isn't going anywhere. The guys asked Greg about the catcher play and how much longer Austin Hedges can spend in the majors. Greg discussed when we could see one of the young catchers in the big leagues.
