Cook And Poni

We hear the Pirates grab a 4-0 lead against the Cardinals. Dan thinks Joey Bart will be here for a while, but doesn't seem to be the starter. Rowdy Tellez drove in a run off a left hander but Dan spoke on how the Pirates played matchups Tuesday.

We hear what Najee had to say about not getting the option picked up and brushed it off. Najee knows he'd look very bad not playing this season and holding out for a new contract.

The Pirates lineup is out, and it isn't good against the Cardinals in a big game. Poni tweeted a rumor that the Pirates and Orioles talked about a David Bednar for Coby Mayo deal. We would both make that deal.

Chad is a Franklin Regional and IUP grad. He helped recruit Russell Wilson to NC State and still keeps in touch with him.

Derrick Henry is a big addition to the Ravens this season but Rob thinks they need to manage his workload for full effectiveness. Rob thinks Lamar is great BUT he doesn't know a playoff signature moment for Lamar.

We hear from Pirates fans frustrated with the offense and Derek Shelton's decision making. Caller Paul goes off on Poni, loves the Starkey Show.

Tuesday was the worst loss of the Pirates season. They squandered opportunities to score off Lance Lynn, left the bases loaded twice, and grounded into two double plays. Paul Skenes pitched into the 9th and was the most efficient he's been all season.

Listen to the entire Joe Starkey Show from Tuesday, 7-23-2024.

Hour four with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise. Michael wants to see Bart, Davis, and Endy all on the team and pointed to Endy as a great bat in the minors two years ago while playing 1st, 2nd, and the outfield as well as catcher. He expects Skenes to pitch similarly as Mitch Keller did Monday. Pat Narduzzi said at ACC media day that Pitt will play Penn State but Penn State won't play them. Narduzzi loves playing rivalry games and is thankful for West Virginia.

Hour three with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise. Shelton pointed to pitching as a big reason why the Pirates are on a hot streak but doing the little things right is the key reason. Shelton mentioned Bryan Reynolds and Nick Gonzales as clutch players. Derek Shelton stated that Ke'Bryan Hayes is healthy, but the back injury has a chance to continue to linger. Joey Bart is becoming a bigger part of the Pirates and could be here for a while. What does it mean for Henry Davis and Endy?

Hour two with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise. Andrew still thinks next year's team will be better, but the Pirates showed against the Phillies they can compete with anyone in baseball. "They absolutely need to add." He would trade Thomas Harrington. Bubba Chandler and Braxton Ashcraft are the two best arms in the minors. The story of Steelers training camp is the quarterback controversy. The Pirates are still stealing headlines as camp starts tomorrow.

Hour one with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise. The Pirates are a bigger deal than Steelers camp starting tomorrow, and they should be. If the Pirates can get to the playoffs, they will be major trouble. The Pirates are the talk of town and the pitching staff is relentless. The bullpen might be the best in baseball. Starkey makes the case that Ben Cherington is doing a decent job by acquiring Aroldis Chapman, signing Reynolds and Keller, and picking Paul Skenes over Dylan Crews. He's made a lot of mistakes too, but it's ok to be balanced.

Shelton pointed to pitching as a big reason why the Pirates are on a hot streak but doing the little things right is the key reason. Shelton mentioned Bryan Reynolds and Nick Gonzales as clutch players. Shelton thinks Joey Bart could be here for a while and is earning it, but believes Henry Davis and Endy Rodriguez are big parts of the future and it takes more time for some players to figure it out.
