Podcast appearances and mentions of Tommy Pham

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff reacted to the Jared Jones news and if he can recover at a quicker pace than normal. Jeff said Jones apparently felt something in his elbow during recovery and it made him realize it might be time for surgery. Jeff said Paul Skenes is probably most upset about the Jones news and not about his gem being wasted on Sunday. Did the Pirates do enough to build this team? The guys asked Jeff why Tommy Pham is still on the roster, which comes on the heels of one of his better games.

One baseball insider said the Pirates do intend to build around Paul Skenes and baseball Twitter is having fun with it. 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show.

Noah thinks the Pirates may be playing Tommy Pham to trade him in exchange for something or cash considerations. Noah thinks the Pirates need to think about sending Colin Holderman to AAA and do what the Bucs did with David Bednar. Noah doesn't see Ben Cherington being let go before the draft.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Noah thinks the Pirates may be playing Tommy Pham to trade him in exchange for something or cash considerations. Noah doesn't see Ben Cherington being let go before the draft. the Pirates need to think about sending Colin Holderman to AAA. Joe disagrees with the idea that the Pirates should trade Paul Skenes for Skenes' sake. We hear from the fans.

We have reached rock bottom for the Pirates offense. Joe would trade Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes. He would get rid of Tommy Pham and others. What could the Pirates get in a Paul Skenes trade?? Jeff Passan thinks teams are going to call on Skenes at the deadline. Passan thinks it makes some sense to trade Skenes right now.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Mullsy joins to recap the Mullsy-Austin trivia game. Is Tommy Pham one of the worst free agent signings in Pirates history? Pham is hitting .176 with no home runs and six RBIs in 34 games. This is not the Paul Skenes we expected. Paul Skenes believes his stuff is unlike any other pitcher. Shouldn't that mean he pitches like the best? Skenes' walks are way up.

Mullsy joins to recap the Mullsy-Austin trivia game. Is Tommy Pham one of the worst free agent signings in Pirates history? Pham is hitting .176 with no home runs and six RBIs in 34 games. This is not the Paul Skenes we expected. His strikeouts are down three-per-game. He's still pitching great, but not at a Cy Young level.

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan gave his first impressions of what we saw from the Pirates in their first series under Don Kelly. The guys talked about a few of the mistakes of the weekend, but most of the stuff they liked. Why didn't Tommy Pham play? What can we view for Ben Cherington going forward?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He welcomes Washington Wild Things general manager Tony Buselli to analyze the Pirates' most recent losing funk, which included a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Is this team fixable around stars like Paul Skenes, Oneil Cruz and Andrew McCutchen? Does manager Derek Shelton have the right answers? Or could his time in the dugout be running short? And what should general manager Ben Cherington do with struggling hitters like Tommy Pham, Jack Suwinski and Jared Triolo?

Ben Cherington said the Pirates signed Tommy Pham for a reason and they like his toughness. Why? Alexander Canario is still here but hasn't done well offensively. The Pirates offense is statistically one of the worst in baseball.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Ben Cherington said the Pirates signed Tommy Pham for a reason and they like his toughness. We don't understand the move and why Pham is considered an important acquisition. Ben Cherington thinks the Pirates need to "be urgent everyday and not in a rush." Cherington said, "it starts with me, it doesn't end with me."

Carmen Mlodzinski's short outing, a dominant performance by the bullpen, and Andrew McCutchen's clutch go-ahead double in the 7th. They also dive into Joey Bart's rough night behind the plate, the ongoing struggles of Tommy Pham, and the latest on David Bednar's strong return to the closer role. Plus, Primanti Bros. sandwich giveaways, a look ahead to Paul Skenes Day, and a special shoutout to Jack Wilson ahead of Thursday night's live show.

On his weekly mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions. Among them: When will prospect Bubba Chandler be promoted to bolster the rotation behind names like Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller? Did Ben Cherington make a mistake in not extending Oneil Cruz this offseason, given his hot start at the plate? Who's the front runner to be the Pirates' All-Star through April? Cruz? Skenes? Maybe Andrew McCutchen? How does Noah assess the job Matt Hague has done as hitting coach? With some players having solid starts but others like Jack Suwinski and Tommy Pham struggling mightily? And is Pham a bust like Rowdy Tellez as a free agent signing?

The Pirates were shut out last night for a league-leading fifth time. In the lifeless effort at PNC Park, what are brewing as the team's biggest problems? At 11-19, they are among the worst teams in baseball. Poni has Tommy Pham as the ring leader of horribleness. How much longer to Derek Shelton and Ben Cherington have?

The Pirates were shut out last night for a league-leading fifth time. In the lifeless effort at PNC Park, what are brewing as the team's biggest problems? At 11-19, they are among the worst teams in baseball. Poni has Tommy Pham as the ring leader of horribleness. How much longer to Derek Shelton and Ben Cherington have? What is the most embarrassing aspect of the Pirates right now? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Is Rick Tocchet bound to be the Penguins next coach? TK isn't so sure. He thinks the Kyle Dubas hire will be a developmental coach that is ready to take on his first team. Tyler thinks the Penguins need a guy that is on-board with a rebuild. The guys dove into a few different candidates that could fit the job in Pittsburgh. TK said Sidney Crosby is still the selling point for any coach, but that person has to be patient.

*Not* a reference to Tommy Pham, but he does appear in Police Blotter for possibly a record-setting time. Our fantasy team infields continue to make news with Pottymouth contemplating Rice from Wong and Patti finally covering 3B. Christian Walker heats up, Eugenio Suarez makes some noise, Wyatt Langford is back with a bang, and Pete CA can't stop taking it to the Dodgers.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles reacts live to the club's weekend sweep at the hands of the Cleveland Guardians and looks ahead to a West Coast swing against the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers. Can the club survive a schedule that gets tougher in the coming weeks? Does manager Derek Shelton deserve the scrutiny he's getting for lineup decisions related to Oneil Cruz, Andrew McCutchen, Jack Suwinski, Tommy Pham, Alexander Canario and others? How much hope should fans have in underlying statistic that suggest an offensive turnaround should be coming at some point? And when will this team begin to take advantage of strong starts from names including Mitch Keller and Paul Skenes? Noah tackles those topics and more.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. The guys asked Brownie why Enmanuel Valdez is getting so much run in prominent roles in the lineup every night. Greg said the necklaces could become the Pirates rally cry if they get going. Why is Tommy Pham still getting so much run? Greg touted the work of the bullpen as of late and said the problems will be solved if they simply score some runs. What can Jack Suwinski do to fix his issues and stay on the big-league roster?

Audibles & Analytics podcast host Jon Ledyard joined the show. The guys had a few Shedeur Sanders questions off the bat and if he is as good or as bad as some draft experts see him. Jon said Sanders will only be as good as the structure around him, like a Brock Purdy in San Francisco at his best. Jon doesn't think Sanders has a special arm. Jon would not take a QB in the 1st round of this draft, citing the bad track record of that position in that spot of the draft along with the Steelers recent history there. Jon likes Will Howard in the middle rounds as someone to take a chance on. Jon thinks Jahdae Barron should be on the Steelers radar in the 1st round – a player that provides defensive versatility. Donny Football Debrief – Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders will have their numbers retired at Colorado. Fair or foul?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the week in Pittsburgh sports news. Is Aaron Rodgers delaying his deal with the Steelers out of fear of losing his job like Kirk Cousins did to Michael Penix Jr. with the Atlanta Falcons last season? As Fox Sports insider Jason McIntyre has speculated? What should we make of Justin Fields' comments to reporters, in which he said he didn't feel "comfortable" with Mike Tomlin and the Steelers following his midseason benching in favor of Russell Wilson? How seriously should the GM Omar Khan be taking Shedeur Sanders as a draft option? Whether or not Rodgers signs? And was T.J. Watt being cryptic in an Instagram post in which he gave a peace sign? Or are fans and observers looking too far into it and what it means for his future with the Steelers? Our duo tackles those questions and more. In the second and third segments, airing on the Post-Gazette's new Pirates YouTube channel, the guys give their thoughts on a busy week for the Pirates on and off the field. How much criticism does team president Travis Williams deserve for the Bucco Bricks fiasco, the bungled tribute to Roberto Clemente, attendance issues and the state of PNC Park? Are the problems with the Pirates as a business eclipsing their shortcomings on the field? And how much is owner Bob Nutting paying attention to his club's issues amid relentless chants for him to "sell the team" that started at the home opener last weekend and have not subsided? Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes on-field performance in the second segment. Should we worry about a small dip in Paul Skenes' velocity in his worst start as a Pirates on Tuesday in a loss to the Cardinals? Are Justin Lawrence, Denis Santana and Caleb Ferguson the answers manager Derek Shelton has been looking for in the bullpen following struggles from David Bendar and Colin Holderman in high-leverage roles? Should we be more encouraged or discouraged by Ke'Bryan Hayes' start to the season offensively? How much grace will veterans Tommy Pham and Adam Frazier get amid their struggles? And how important does Andrew McCutchen remain to this lineup?

The Pirates walk it off in 13 innings and Cody and Doug are here to break it all down on the NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. Mitch Keller was dominant, the bullpen stepped up big, and Joey Bart came through with the game-winning hit in a weird, chaotic, and much-needed series win over the Cardinals. We talk Keller's bounce-back performance, the dominance of Dennis Santana, the bullpen usage finally making sense, and a whole lot of questionable base running from both teams. We also dive into the latest struggles from Jack Suwinski, Joey Bart's early season impact, Ke'Bryan Hayes flashing the leather again, and what's next for guys like Tommy Pham.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. The guys asked Greg how much the weather tonight will play a factor into how the Pirates handle Paul Skenes, with temps hovering around 30 degrees. Could Skenes be flirting with Kerry Wood and throw 20 strikeouts tonight? Greg talked about Oneil Cruz through the first two weeks of the season and some of the highs & lows we see with his play. Greg said Tommy Pham is the type of veteran that will call out players if they don't show effort. The guys wondered why Jack Suwinski is batting leadoff tonight with a few other questions about the starting nine. NFL Draft analyst Ryan Wilson from CBS Sports joined the show. Ryan gave his latest on what he's hearing about 2 weeks out from the draft. He thinks Shedeur Sanders would be an easy choice for the Steelers at 21st overall if he does fall, but he said Kenneth Grant would be a safer bet to be the better player. Ryan told the guys how things have been impacted for Shedeur with his father being Deion Sanders. Ryan talked about players falling in past drafts. Could the Steelers be looking at a safety in the 1st round? The guys asked Ryan about a few WR prospects. The best-case-scenario 21st overall pick for Ryan would be Walter Nolen or Kenneth Grant. Donny Football Debrief – A Coastal Carolina basketball player is signing with the Panthers.

The Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Jason Mackey react to the week in Pittsburgh sports news. What should we make of comments from Steelers owner Art Rooney II, coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan about their pursuit of Aaron Rodgers? Is it wise for the Steelers to look toward the 2026 NFL draft for their QB of the future, given the many compensatory picks they'll have at their disposal to try to trade up? Are options beyond Arch Manning compelling? Or are Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava, LaNorris Sellers and Garrett Nussmeier similar to this year's crop, which includes names like Shedeur Sanders, Jaxson Dart and Will Howard? Are Jeff Capel and Pitt basketball in trouble after Jaland Lowe and Jorge and Guillermo Diaz-Graham entered the transfer portal? Or can they draw hope from quick and major turnarounds from Final Four programs like Auburn and Houston? How closely should we be watching new Penguins faces including Ville Koivunen and Rutger McGroarty? And in the third segment, airing on the Post-Gazette's Pirates YouTube channel, our duo offers thoughts on the club's ugly start to the season. Are GM Ben Cherington and manager Derek Shelton caught between what's best for the club's long-term future and what's best for retaining their jobs short-term in some of their roster decisions involving names like Carmen Mlodzinski and Thomas Harrington? What is the deal with the six-man rotation? Shouldn't we want to see more — rather than less — of Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller? Whose slow offensive start should we be most worried about? Tommy Pham, Jack Suwinski, Ke'Bryan Hayes, or someone else? And how frosty will the home opening reception be against the New York Yankees on Friday at PNC Park?

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles and sports columnist Jason Mackey break down the team's series loss to the Tampa Bay Rays this week. Did Wednesday's win, led by Paul Skenes, show this team can get on the right track? Or should Derek Shelton's club expect a chilly reaction from its fans when it returns to Pittsburgh for Friday's home opener on Friday? What is the state of the bullpen without David Bednar, who was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday? What should the Pirates do with Colin Holderman, who struggled again Wednesday? Is Dennis Santana the club's de facto closer? And how concerned should we be with the team's underwhelming hitting through seven games from players like Tommy Pham and Jack Suwinski? Our duo answers those questions and more.

The Pirates are making the right decision promoting Thomas Harrington today. Tommy Pham has started off poorly. The Pirates left 37 men on base in Miami and had only four hits in game one against the Rays.

Does hope spring eternal for the 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates? Besides Paul Skenes, what is there to root for or be hopeful for? Will the Skenes effect eventually wear off the way it did at the end of last season when the team starts going downhill? Bucco Auction House – Round 1. PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason has the Pirates at 84 wins. He explained why the Pirates have Tommy Pham in the lineup on Opening Day and why he may get the nod more than Jack Suwinski early on. Jason isn't sure if David Bednar will be the closer and we are all in for a mystery if the Pirates have the lead today in the 9th inning.

On their weekly podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey react to repeated criticism of the Steelers by former RB Najee Harris. Should we be surprised at his bitterness toward Mike Tomlin, Arthur Smith and the team he leaves behind? Or is he right about the culture and facilities being an impediment toward team success? On the QB front, should GM Omar Khan really want Aaron Rodgers as his protracted decision making process shows a lack of enthusiasm for joining the team via NFL free agency? And how fractured must the relationship with Russell Wilson be that the team still won't turn to him? As March Madness begins without Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia, which program is in the best position to return next year? The worst? And what should the Penguins' goals be for the remainder of the season as their Stanley Cup playoff hopes look bleak? Our duo tackles those question, then talks Pirates. Did GM Ben Cherington bet too hard on the team's rotation amid the potentially serious injury to Jared Jones? Will the rotation led by Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller manage without him? Who are the best options to fill out the rest of the group? Veterans like Bailey Falter and Andrew Heaney? Or youngsters like Thomas Harrington, Bubba Chandler and Carmen Mlodzinski? And why is Jason bullish on the Tommy Pham signing and how he could influence young players like Henry Davis, Jared Triolo and Jack Suwinski?

Join us on this episode of Starbucs as we dive into the latest storylines from Pirates spring training!

Henry Davis should be on the major league roster and is having a good spring. Spencer Horwitz and Tommy Pham need to be important pieces, but the Pirates need to develop a hitter they drafted to steer the ship. What do we think the offense can do this season?

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: The LA Chargers cut edge rusher Joey Bosa and has missed a ton of time due to injury. Do you think the Steelers should sign Nick Chubb? Charles Davis has Jaxson Dart going third to the Giants in his latest mock draft. Spencer Horwitz and Tommy Pham need to have good years, plus Henry Davis needs to have a big year.

If anyone outside of the clubhouse has their finger on the pulse of the Pittsburgh Pirates, it's long time play by play announcer Greg Brown. We are fortunate to have him join us on this episode to take a peek into the 2025 Pirates. With few roster roster and coaching changes can we expect much of the same or does one of the best young pitching staffs in baseball lead by All Rookie of the Year and CY Young candidate Paul Skenes take this team to a level they have not seen since 2013-2015.    Lets jump right into the off season, the team spent under 12 million dollars to fill spots that were in need. Did they really address these needs with upgrades when all they did were 1 year deals with aging veterans or guys looking for an opportunity?   Who would you say is the most important acquisition of the off season?    Spencer Horwitz was traded for in a 3 team deal to be a mainstay hopefully at first base. Coming in, Ben Cherrington knew that a wrist injury has been an issue. Why did he make the deal and if so why give up so much starting with Luis Ortiz?   With Horwitz out now, who will play first base in his absence? What is the timeline from his return and what can the Pirates expect from him.   Recently, the Pirates signed Tommy Pham, a 37 year old journeyman outfielder. Why? He has a history and a not so favorable one at that.    What role does Isiah Kiner-Falefa play on the 2025 Pirates? He has been known predominantly as a highly productive utility player but word on the street is that he could be the everyday shortstop and that's not his strong suit.   Where will the power source come from with this team? Andrew McCutcheon at 38 years old and Bryan Reynolds could be two sources.    Before we move on to the pitching staff, share what you believe will be the most days starting 8 (I know Shelton has his Sunday lineup).   Paul Skenes is a generational player. What can Pirate fans expect next from him after he was an All-Star, Rookie of the Year and a Cy Young candidate in his ¾ of a season.   Can Jared Jones maintain his #2 role? It looks like he will be needed to replicate his success from last year or will Mitch Keller swap spots with him to alleviate some of the pressure and innings.    Please project the starting five pitchers.    How did the Pirates help their bullpen?  Will Bednar and Holderman bounce back from somewhat disappointing seasons and what makes you believe that?   You've been around Pirate baseball for 31 years, why should fans trust that this team is going to be different based on what they know from the off season and past recent seasons.   Are Derek Shelton and Ben Cherrington sitting on hot seats?      Instead of predicting a record lets say will they be over or under 82 wins this season?   Rashene Hill rage against the Rashene- Instagram  Rashene Hill-facebook  @rashenehill-tik tok rj the hill-x Michael “Chops” Mills @therealbigchops  Terry “T-sizzle” Young : Instagram and Twitter @1tyoungy Kevin Watson:@coachkwatt10 on threads Facebook: Kevin Watson Mike Neubeiser: X and Instagram @CoachNeub  ===========================  CONNECT WITH US  ===========================  Check out our websites, social media and networks we are featured on:  https://www.originalsportspodcast.com    Find us on Facebook, X, And SnapChat @ OSPwithMM   https://www.facebook.com/OSPwithMM  https://twitter.com/OSPwithMM      OSP   Follow our Instagram, TikTok, Twitch and YouTube @  OriginalSportsPodcast https://www.instagram.com/originalsportspodcast   OriginalSportsPodcast  https://www.twitch.tv/ospwithmarkmaradei  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZuudj681oIAbnscyHBa0g?view_as=subscriber    You can also use our LinkTree to access all our locations at : https://linktr.ee/Originalsportspodcast    Find us on: Let's Talk Sports Network, https://sidelinesportsnet.com/  and Elite Sports and Entertainment Network. https://linktr.ee/ESENetwork , https://manningmediainc.com/ , https://www.peakonesportsnetwork.com/    Catch OSP on ROKU weekly on National Stream Sports www.NEESP.info  Tuesday Nights from 7-8 pm  ===========================  Feel free to let us know if you have any comments or questions By emailing us at: OriginalSportsPodcast@gmail.com Voice intro: Steve Medley Music by Charlie Hodgson Join us every week to Experience the “O” on the Original Sports Podcast!!! @FunFootballPod @FootballKnow32 @SmokinJeremy @dailygrindpod @jennacheryl @QueenofHoop @rachmariesports @SteveB7SFG @scottGOLIONS @JuanPerezJr7 @ChiefsNana @DaSportChatter @TravisDHolmes @MikeBrodskyFL @TheSoTG @CD3Gator @cduvall30 @TribuneCity @john_nufc42 @always_chiefs @joshuaburs @rodpedersen @BillfromBoynton @phins93 @mikecalheta @NelliNel13 @Sportsteamnews @ChiefsChic87 @RButler723 @ShkBkMediaGrp @TomKorun @pblake1003 @Montejp231 @TheOffSeasonCFB @Blitz_Burgh @TheStandard412 @NflKramer @NYsportsGoat @madchadandeddie @BSenopole @profootballman1 @ClaudioReilsano @Topoffsports @SportsPodiumPodcast @TheMicDr @MarLovelace1 @100Sanford @coachmaradei @Letstalksports @TribuneSouth @BBALLBABE6 @NFLDraftEd @Key103Radio @1069THEEAGLE  @ShkBkMediaGrp @MunnseyTalks @JB_ThePROgram @ecwilson76 @LandersTalks @Mancinisports @GridironXtra @GridironGrubb @GridironZeroes @GridironGuru2 @OSPwithMM @thrillofsports @SmokeyHellNFL @jennachery @ShkBkMediaGrp @SteveB7SFG @CFBWeekly @ecwilson76 @LandersTalks @RadioJakeTaylor @tssjester @1tyoungy  @coachneub @MediaManning @ListenFrederick @ListenHubCity  @therealbigchops @PeakOneSports @bradwalker3083 @TBBucs5 @ShkBkMediaGrp @JB_ThePROgram @BrutallyHones @Montejp231 @GridironGuru2 @OSPwithMM @TheyCallMeMrYu @southfloridatribune @rodpedersen @CatsNBoltsPod @RodPedersenShow @JoshuaDoor954 @bradwalker3083  @High_Low_Sports  @SmokinJeremy @DaSportChatter @BillfromBoynton @phins93 @WindyCityDig @bradwalker3083 @JB_ThePROgram @FunFootballPod @rachmariesports @scottGOLIONS @MichiganMan_2 @DaSportChatter @LegitFBPods @TribuneCity @TheTouchdownNFL @always_chiefs   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVZuudj681oIAbnscyHBa0g https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/original-sports-podcast-with-mark-maradei/id1504014103 https://open.spotify.com/show/3bMNxHBGw0V61LtpSuKh2u https://www.audible.com/pd/Steel-City-Nation-Podcast-Podcast/B08JJMND3F https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS85NDM0MjMucnNz https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-steel-city-nation-podcast-60538738/ https://www.twitch.tv/ospwithmarkmaradei/videos  https://linktr.ee/Originalsportspodcast  https://linktr.ee/ESENetwork https://linktr.ee/truthbetoldsports?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=27aeb327-ebe2-4330-98a6-b7ee0188d490 

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin discuss their key takeaways from the team's Wednesday performances in spring training during a split-squad day. Bailey Falter made a good first impression against the Orioles. How important is it for him to get off to a good start, unlike the disaster he faced in his first appearance last season in Miami? Matt Gorski hit another home run Wednesday, his third of the season. Is this a flash in the pan? Or is Gorski a legitimate option at first base for Derek Shelton's team? Finally, Noah and Andrew discuss the competition to be the Pirates leadoff hitter. Who's in the lead after Tommy Pham and Jack Suwinski shined there Wednesday? Our duo answers those questions and more.

Bailey Falter pitches 2 hitless innings while striking out 3 in today's 7-3 Pirates victory over the Atlanta Braves. The Pirates totaled 10 hits and 6 walks as Tommy Pham & Henry Davis each had 2 hits. Andrew McCutchen & Isiah Kiner-Falefa each reached base twice as well with his 2 walks.
