7-13 Fan Morning Show 8am Hour:

Our very own Dan Zangrilli joins the show to recap the Pirates' successful weekend. Dan and Dorin were bad at math in school. Dan says he likes the trade the Pirates made but wouldn't say they 'won' the deal. He also likes that the Pirates addressed a need and says a different GM wouldn't make that trade if Cherington had tons of job security. Is Dan confident that the Pirates can make the playoffs? They need to win 39 games to reach the 89 win mark, which Dan says would be the threshold for making the playoffs. It is doable, but reaching that mark will be difficult. Dan says that "anyone with an arm" needs to have a good second half for the Pirates to have a great second half of the season, specifically Mitch Keller.

Producer Charlie may or may not have said my fiancée sounds like a grazing cattle when she chews gum. Crowley has gum in his mouth and is paranoid people can hear him chewing. Exactly how bad of a year has Mitch Keller had?

John Wehner joins the show! What did Wehner see from Esmerlyn Valdez over the weekend? Without him, the Pirates would not have won either game on Saturday. He says that Valdez's approach is elite for someone his age. The pitching staff is getting shelled and Bill Murphy is getting bad press. Matt Hague has not been talked about enough and deserves more credit according to Hague. When things go well, no one gets credit. When things go badly, their name is the only thing you hear.

There is a viral video going around of a grown man being tossed around like a small child by a buffalo. How much would you be paid to get into a ring with a buffalo? My theory is that the buffalo wanted to trample the woman in the Dolphins jersey but was respectful enough to go after the grown man in the overalls instead.
