One of our favorite listeners made a rap for us.

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason was asked a very weird question in his chat, so we also answered it. Jason predicted what type of reaction we may hear tomorrow when the Pirates are introduced. Jason talked about the first two series, which has the Buccos at 2-5. The guys questioned why there are multiple players seemingly out of position. Jason doesn’t think Paul Skenes will sign an extension here and he isn’t sure if the team will offer him anything, like we’ve seen some other teams do with their young stars.
