Craig and Scott (@PirateTakes) talk through the general perceived "mission" of the 2025 Pirates, while discussing the rotation depth, the rumor mill, adding a lefty to the pitching staff, how fans/media/fellow podcasters react to every transaction, and what it is like to be a Pirates Fan. 

Craig Toth previously covered the Pirates for Inside The Bucs Basement, but now simply sits down at the 9-foot homemade oak bar every week to talk Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball with his buddy Scott Jackson (@PirateTakes).
