Randy Baumann and the DVE Morning Show

Eddie Olczyk is a grandpa! He joined Mike and Val this morning for a heartfelt conversation about becoming a grandfather in addition to the x's and o's of playoff hockey under the current format: best of five game series, hotel life in the bubble, and potentially running into a foe or two.

Edzo wouldn't be surprised if tensions boil over between rival teams in the NHL bubble, Sean Collier lays out a few classics being played at local drive-ins, and Collin Chamberlin and Ray Zawadni return for an outdoor stand-up show this weekend in the North Side.

Training Camp is officially underway and offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner spoke with local media via zoom yesterday for the first time this "season," and although Ben's return is a much needed spark in the offense, there's plenty more that has to fall in place. Also, a look back at one of the all-time greatest Sean Casey stories on the show with Paul Virzi, and Stan Savran looks forward to the NHL playoff bubble.

Mr. Wednesday is a string cheese kinda guy, and he's pretty crafty around the house, too. We were lucky enough to have him on for an extra hour or two this morning. Phil Bourque is happy to be back in the color commentary saddle even if it's remotely, and already has a few thoughts on how the Penguins should orchestrate their powerplay after striking out against the Flyers in yesterday's exhibition game. Mark Madden's advice: let Sid be Sid.

The Pens have their one and only exhibition game against the Flyers today before the playoff play-in picks up later this week. Seth Rorabaugh has a decent idea of what to expect against the Habs, but the rest of the playoff field is wide open. Missi Matthews details the Steelers new-look Training Camp protocol, which is very reliant on testing, and Billy Gardell's PlayStation Pirates are struggling, too.

The Pirates pitching and hitting woes were ever present in Games 1 & 2 in St. Louis over the weekend, only to be vanquished in the club's first victory (and manager Derek Shelton's first victory) of the abbreviated season yesterday. Young bullpen arms impressed, and the bats showed up, too, but could it all end so soon as the Miami Marlins are reporting at least 14 additional positive COVID-19 tests today. Meanwhile, the Pens are set for the playoffs to begin in Toronto, and the Steelers are inching closer and closer to the start of training camp.

Opening Day 2020 is finally here, better late than never. Rob King of AT&T Sports Net previews the Bucs opening tilt in St. Louis led by Joe Musgrove on the mound, Sean Collier reviews a most unnerving horror movie, Jimmy Adler performs in the Coffeehouse. And, finally: a band that won't sue Donald Trump for playing their song at his rallies - that legendary hair group from Iowa, Dinglecherry!

Comedian Greg Warren shares his uncle's idea of an Emmy award worthy baseball broadcast, Big Cat is thrilled to have sports back so he can start betting again and head to PF Changs win, lose, or draw of course. And Stan Savran has a plan for those who purchased a Blue Jays hat in anticipation of the Toronto team temporarily calling Pittsburgh home.

The Penguins are inching closer day by day to resuming the 2020 campaign and the plot is only thickening, primarily inside the crease between Matt Murray and Tristan Jarry, but Phil Bourque has his eyes on a talented forward who's two-way contributions rival that of Bryan Rust and Sidney Crosby. The Rolling Stones released a demo from the Goats Head Soup days featuring Jimmy Page called 'Scarlet,' which prompted the SuperGenius Mark Madden to discuss his favorite Page collaborations over the years and some that may have just missed the mark. Also, Mr. Wednesday is not a fan of the firehall comedy show free sauerkraut.

Doug Benson thinks it might be time for Tom Hanks to broaden his horizons past the quintessential war movie, Billy Gardell is the Bucs' skipper on MLB The Show and he has a bone to pick with some of the nation's favorite snacks. Plus we remember some of our favorite Robin Williams comedies and dramas on what would have been his 69th birthday.
