In this episode, Jake gives his thoughts on why Jared Triolo should start at second base on Opening Day, and what guys like Liover Peguero and Nick Gonzales need to do if they want to shake things up. He also talks about the Pirates' Spring Training power surge and why it will add a different flavor to this year.

Also, shoutout to @saxboybilly18 on X for ranking Bucs Dugout and several of our Talk the Plank personalities on his personal list of Top 100 Pittsburgh Pirates Media Personalities! Go give him a follow.
