Ben Cherington and the Pittsburgh Pirates had the No. 1 overall selection in the 2023 MLB Draft and selected LSU SP Paul Skenes despite weeks of smoke and rumors they'd go elsewhere.

Skenes is a potential generational talent who brings a unique skillset and swagger to an already solid pitching system in the minor leagues, so what impact will Skenes have for Pittsburgh longterm, what does the future of the rotation look like with the arms nearly ready for the Majors in 2024 and how good could the tandem of Mitch Keller and Paul Skenes be together?

The Pittsburgh Pirates were once in first place in the NL Central and obviously, that is no longer the case. The Pirates sit 6.5 games back of the division lead and now the room for error they once had is slowly slipping away. How do the Pirates regain their winning ways and get back into the division race?

Also, Andrew McCutchen met up with some noteworthy fans in an eight year reunion at Dodger Stadium.

Pittsburgh also has some adjustments to make if they want to start winning again, so what are those adjustments and reasonable ways to fix them?

Finally, the Pirates look to win game two against the LA Dodgers.

On today's show, host Ethan Smith brings on Craig Toth as he does every Thursday to discuss the Pirates first series win since June 11, with a chance to sweep today. Ethan and Craig also talk about the debut of Jared Triolo and his instant impact not only defensively, but with his bat.

Also, the Pirates could, and probably will, get Bryan Reynolds and Colin Holderman back this weekend vs Milwaukee. Ji-Man Choi is also on a rehab assignment alongside Holderman in Indianapolis. Will getting healthy lead to more winning baseball in the near future and why does Ethan think its of the upmost importance?

Finally, while the month of May and June have both felt like a disaster for the Pirates, they remain five games back in the sluggish NL Central. Is the division still up for grabs and who will the contenders for the division be down the second half of the season?

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith discusses the Tuesday night victory for the Pittsburgh Pirates that saw the offensive explosion we have all been waiting for as the Pirates had 16 hits and 9 runs against a loaded San Diego Padres squad(on paper), with 4 of the 16 hits coming from Nick Gonzales and Henry Davis. Are the young duo the spark the Pirates needed?

Also, amidst this brutal stretch of June, one thing hasn't been lost by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and that's their starting pitching, which has kept this team from complete implosion and an outside chance of remaining competitive in the NL Central. Can they continue to do so and will the offense continue to give them run support after Tuesday?

Finally, we're in for a good pitching matchup Wednesday as Mitch Keller takes the hill against Blake Snell as part of a game two preview.

The Pittsburgh Pirates lost another series in the month of June, this time to the Miami Marlins. Despite excellent starting pitching, the Pirates managed to only win once in the four-game series due to inept offense. Is the offense doomed under Andy Haines and is too late to salvage anything? Host Ethan Smith and Gary Morgan discuss on today's episode of Locked On Pirates.

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith breaks down the call-up of 2020 No. 7 overall pick Nick Gonzales, who just so happened to be Ethan's first player interview when he joined Locked On three years ago. Gonzales has done well at AAA Indianapolis, but can it translate to the big league level?

Also, the Pirates lost their tenth straight game on Thursday, this time to the Miami Marlins and in a very similar fashion as the bullpen surrendered another late lead. Can the bullpen mismanagement be fixed or are injuries becoming too much for the group?

Finally, its Mailbag Friday, so Ethan answers your questions and concerns about the Pittsburgh Pirates!
