It feels like the Pirates season ended over the weekend. Should Cherington be fired? Shelton? Who are the biggest culprits? Bednar blew it again. Holderman, Hayes, Suwinski, and Davis are all culpable. What number of wins is needed to keep the manager/GM in tact?

Hour one with Joe Starkey, Paul Zeise and Bob Pompeani. It feels like the Pirates season ended over the weekend. Should Cherington be fired? Shelton? Who are the biggest culprits? Bednar blew it again. Holderman, Hayes, Suwinski, and Davis are all culpable. It's officially now a collapse for the Pirates. What game was the turning point? Cruz errors game? Josh Bell homer game? Joc Pederson homer? Calls on the Pirates and Shelton. Why didn't Chapman go multiple innings yesterday?

On today's episode of First 10, Jason Mackey discusses what the Pirates need to see out of Jack Suwinski after Tuesday night's performance, why they continue to play Yasmani Grandal, and where he'd like to see them go with the catching situation. Mackey also touches on the Penguins adding Sebastian Aho, needing to get a winger and what looks to be a daunting schedule.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey answers reader questions. Among them: Why would Starling Marte be a member of the Pirates' 2015 team who'd be an ideal fit with today's? Do manager Derek Shelton's getaway day lineups reveal a lack of urgency about making the postseason? Are there any obvious solutions for Jack Suwinski's prolonged struggles this season? And who's the team's most likely All-Star from the group of Paul Skenes, Mitch Keller and Bryan Reynolds? Jason tackles those questions and also a couple from the Penguins realm. Including: Will GM Kyle Dubas look to make the team's defense better in NHL free agency? Or rely on bouce-back years from Ryan Graves and Erik Karlsson? And what could the potential return be in a Tristan Jarry trade?

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Andrew Destin and sports columnist Jason Mackey react to the club's series victory against the Minnesota Twins at PNC Park over the weekend. Among the topics: Is Rowdy Tellez truly out of his season-long slump after a strong start to June? Why are Henry Davis and Jack Suwinski continuing to struggle? What is working for Nick Gonzales right now? And what are the big storylines in the bullpen? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey ponders the struggles of young Pirates including Henry Davis, Jack Suwinski and Jared Triolo. Is GM Ben Cherington doing something wrong with their development? How do their struggles fit into MLB-wide trends with names like the Detroit Tigers' Spencer Torkelson, the Baltimore Orioles' Jackson Holliday and the Texas Rangers' Wyatt Langford? And do those struggles suggest more time in the minors with Class AAA Indianapolis could be beneficial, as it was for Andrew McCutchen? Jason offers his thoughts on those questions as well as the series victory against the Minnesota Twins. Then he looks ahead to Steelers minicamp storylines to watch, including how Cam Sutton fits in the secondary and what becomes of Najee Harris.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: John Perrotto of Pittsburgh Sports Now joined the show. John is excited to see Paul Skenes make his spring training debut. His status is significant dating Livvy Dunne and being one of the best pitching prospects in years. John doesn't think Skenes will be overworked this season and could see 160 innings. The Athletic's Jim Bowden thinks Skenes will be up in September, but we all think before that, with around the All-Star break the latest.  John would bat Ke'Bryan Hayes leadoff, then Bryan Reynolds second. Cruz third, Suwinski fourth. He thinks Henry Davis will be in Indianapolis. The Penguins have won three in a row. Could Kyle Dubas stand pat at the trade deadline? Unless the Pens are willing to trade stars, the roster is not going to significantly change.

Hour 4 with Dorin Dickerson, Adam Crowley, and Paul Zeise: Pirates analyst John Wehner joined the show. John pointed to how Keller said he wanted to stay, then got a deal done with the club. John thinks it's time to turn the corner and make the playoffs this year. He thinks Oneil Cruz is the best defensive shortstop on the team and John wants Cruz to play more than usual in spring. John believes this is the best Pirates lineup since the 2013-15 playoff teams. Mitch Keller may have struggled during the middle to end of the season because of the amount of innings he threw. Keller hadn't thrown near 200 innings before in his career. It brings great value. Crowley wants to see Skenes locked up first, but thinks Jack Suwinski might be the next guy. Love advice with Paul Zeise. That's Right, I Said It. Pitt basketball is on the outside looking in of bracket discussion and will play Virginia Tech on Saturday.

Coach Bruce Cassidy started five of the original Vegas players known as the Misfits and put the sixth on the second shift. Cassidy sounded confident the day before the game that his team would play well, and it certainly did. Vegas blew open a one-goal game in the second period to lead 6-1.  The nine goals tied the record for the most in a Cup Final.  Jonathan Marchessault, who ended the postseason with a 10-game points streak, received the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP.

Golf – PGA Commissioner Monahan recovering from medical issue, cedes daily control PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is recovering from a medical situation. The tour did not offer details of the situation or how serious it was. The tour says two of Monahan’s top executives will be leading the day-to-day operations while he recovers. It caps a tumultuous week for the 53-year-old Monahan. It was last Tuesday when he stunned the golf world and his players by announcing a deal with Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund for a business partnership. The wealth fund is what pays for LIV Golf, the rival the PGA Tour had been battling in court. Golf – Koepka blocks out the chaos as he chases another US Open title Brooks Koepka is at a major and feeling as good as ever. No issues with his health. His major trophy count is at five. Koepka isn’t the least bit bothered about the future of LIV Golf or anything else involving the PGA Tour partnership with the Saudi national wealth fund. He says he enjoys chaos because he’s able to focus clearly on what he’s trying to do. He was runner-up in the Masters. He won the PGA Championship. The next test is Los Angeles Country Club for the U.S. Open and his bid for another multiple major year.
