Locked On Pirates - Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Pirates

What's up everyone?!

Host Ethan Smith is back for the Tuesday, June 4 edition of Locked On Pirates, discussing the upcoming three-game series versus the LA Dodgers to begin the first full week of June. Is pitching the highlight? How can the Pirates up-end one of baseball's best teams? Keys to victory? And more

Also, Henry Davis received the call to come back to the big league roster after spending a month in the minor leagues. What adjustments did he make in AAA that suggest he'll make an instant impact back in the bigs? How can he ensure this is his last promotion and what should we be watching for from Davis?

Finally, former Pirate Tucapita Marcano has received a life-time ban from MLB after betting on a large number of MLB related bets. How will sports betting continue to impact not only baseball, but sports in general and what impact does it have on the game right now?

Welcome back to Locked On Pirates everyone. 

On today's show, host Ethan Smith takes a look at the upcoming two-game set between the Pirates and Tigers at Comerica Park the next two days, highlighting pitching for both squads and offering how the Pirates can end the month of May on a high note. 

Also, Jack Suwinski and Henry Davis have both been sent down to AAA Indianapolis, so why not take a look at what each has done so far, what each needs to work on to get back to the Majors and why it isn't a death sentence for either of them to be playing in Indy moving forward. 

Finally, Ethan takes a look at the NL Central and what the division is offering right now and has a take you all might find interesting about how each team, including the Pirates, will handle things in a very winnable division.

Following a wild 7-6 comeback win on Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates followed up with two very frustrating losses, losses that are arguably the most frustrating of the season.

Introducing The Indiana Pacers may have already missed out on their best chance against the Boston Celtics from Locked On Sports Today - Daily Podcast Covering The Biggest Sports Stories.

The Indiana Pacers missed their chance in Game 1 and after Game 2 … it’s getting late early. Also, the Cavaliers fired JB Bickerstaff, but this was NOT a scapegoating. And there’s a simple reason why the Suns and Lakers should not have gotten multiple players on the All-NBA teams.

Happy Wednesday and welcome back to Locked On Pirates.

On today's show, host Ethan Smith discusses the late game heroics we saw from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night, capped off by a 10th inning walk-off single from Nick Gonzales to erase a four-run deficit in the ninth inning. The Pirates got contributions from just about everyone last night, and its important that those contributions stick around.

Also, Gonzales and now Ji-hwan Bae have made impacts upon their arrivals from AAA Indianapolis, specifically Gonzales. What do their impacts have on the team overall and could they be the sparks the offense needed moving forward?

Oneil Cruz had one hell of an evening as well, smashing through Statcast barriers and keeping the game alive in the ninth. Are we starting to see Cruz tap into his potential, and if so, how far could he take the Buccos?

Finally, Jared Jones continues his strong rookie season tonight versus Blake Snell as the Pirates look to secure a series victory against the Giants.
