Locked On Pirates - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Pirates

Uh. Welcome back to Locked On Pirates...

On today's episode, host Ethan Smith kicks things off with the one bright spot of Tuesday's game against Cincinnati with Phillip Evans hitting his second HR of the season in back-to-back games and also pitching, yes pitching, the only 1-2-3 inning of the night.

Following that, a ton of things need improvement for the Pirates, but what small things could help the Pirates remain competitive throughout the season?

Finally, the Pittsburgh Pirates finally welcome fans back to PNC Park tomorrow against the Chicago Cubs and what could be some keys to getting a victory in the homer opener?

Welcome back to Locked On Pirates!

On today's episode, host Ethan Smith recaps a pretty eventful opening game of the three game set against the Cincinnati Reds, which saw the Pirates lose 5-3, but once again the Buccos have proved they aren't great, but seem like they will remain a gritty and competitive ball club.

Also, Gregory Polanco has had yet another terrible start to a campaign, likely signaling his departure after this season, but what are some other negatives, both individually and as a team, that we've seen from Pittsburgh so far?

Finally, Luis Oviedo has looked great, but who else has started the season looking good alongside the young relief pitcher?

All that and more on today's episode of Locked On Pirates!

Welcome back to Locked On Pirates!

On today's episode, host Ethan Smith takes a dive into analytics by comparing Ke'Bryan Hayes' first 24 Big League to other Pirates greats, and the stats may surprise you.

Also, veteran 1B/3B Todd Frazier opted out of his deal with Pittsburgh last week which seems like a puzzling move as the Pirates appear to be moving forward with Phillip Evans as their utility 1B/3B.

Finally, Kevin Newman has had an impressive Spring. Will it translate to the regular season and can he absolutely shatter a record this Spring? All that and more on today's episode of Locked On Pirates!
