This week, Josh is joined by Ryan Nolan. Not Nolan Ryan, but Ryan Nolan. Ryan is a Buccos fan and a former baseball coach of Josh's. Listen to Nolan's take on the Bucs right now and his take on Josh's ability to hit a baseball -- or lack thereof. A former (15 year) college football coach makes his Super Bowl pick along with me. We also talk DH and CBA, as well. This is a longer episode, but I promise this one is good.

The CBA saga continues between the owners and the players. To a point where we do not know what's next. The start of the season is looking grim. We talk about this and Pedro Alvarez, Caitlyn Callahan, the Roberto Clemente bridge, and more. Come hang out with us and here Josh struggle through this episode with a sick voice.

This week, we're going to trade Bryan Reynolds to the Marlins. Well, not really... but we have a conversation about what it would take to pry Reynolds away from Pittsburgh. We also talk about the Hall of Fame, Mitch Keller, and the CBA negotiations. A lot to get into. Let's go Bucs!

This week we're talking about Baseball America's Top 100 Prospect list and International free agent signings! Pirates land 6 players in the top 100 this year.

Joel Hanrahan left the Pirates. That's all we got for news. So, this week, we decided to play a game called "How Could You Be So Wrong?" We picked guys throughout the years that we had all wrong. Whether we thought they were overrated or we overlooked them, we brought up some names that you are familiar with and maybe some that you forgot. But basically, there are always going to be players that you got all wrong. Whether it's Jose Bautista that just blossomed after his time with the Pirates, or an injury plagued road that derailed his potential... one way or another your idea of 5 years from now is not always going to be reality. It's fun to project and share our opinions and thoughts, but it doesn't make anyone less than a fan if they get it wrong. We give some examples of that.
Let us know who you got wrong throughout the years. You can connect with us via the links below

Jacob Stallings traded to Miami, Bucs Sign Roberto Perez, and a bunch of other moves as well. All getting in before the CBA expired.
Now the league has locked out the players and MLB is officially on LOCKOUT mode.
We break down what we think of those moves and ask a lot of questions. Now is probably a good time to ask more questions than we have answers for. What direction are the Pirates going? Will 2022 be another bad season? Are they trying to do anything to make it better? Does it affect the rebuild at all?

Rough week for Pirates pitching, but Frazier and Reynolds are still bright spots in a dark room. And Adam Frazier's superstitions are worth hearing and talking about.
We also talk about the "unwritten rules" of baseball, respect vs disrespect, and about old school vs new school arguments.
In this episode, we got interrupted twice by Josh's daughter, and it was too good to leave out this time.
There was a big chunk cut out of this recording that will be released later. This all just got too long this time. Too much fun.

The Pirates go 3-4 on the week, but the highlights of the week are the back to back walk offs against the NL West leading Giants. Adam Frazier is leading the league in hits and Jacob Stallings with the "bat drop" walk off bomb.
