Locked On Pirates - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Pirates

Welcome back to Locked On Pirates everyone!

On today's Tuesday, May 11 episode, host Ethan Smith recaps yet another blowout loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday and talks about why only one of the two games left has hope for the Pirates to potentially get one win in the series.

Following that, struggling veteran Todd Frazier was DFA'd and had some strong words for a certain Pittsburgh media writer and podcaster, but what other moves could be following what has been absolute madness on the Pirates roster?

Finally, Tyler Anderson has the argument to be the best trade piece the Pirates currently have and could he be as important as Josh Bell, Jameson Taillon and Joe Musgrove were to getting the Pirates back into contention in the rebuild?

Welcome back to Locked On Pirates!

In a new segment, host Ethan Smith is joined by Gary Morgan of DK Pittsburgh Sports and Bucs in the Basement to discuss what was a very good week and road trip for the Pittsburgh Pirates as they return home tomorrow with a .500 record, which has turned some eyes in the fanbase.

Also, Gary and Ethan discuss how tons of players on the roster are under arbitration control for some time which will clearly benefit the front office in building a contender in the years to come.

Finally, the Pirates are 11-11, and yes it is early, but with a strong bullpen and consistent offense, can the Buccos get to 70-75 wins this season and take a major step in the rebuild? All that and more on today's episode of Locked On Pirates.
