Josh Yohe tweeted and said that the Pirates are too flawed to trade prospects for help at the deadline. Poni disagrees with this, saying that he would trade either one of Edward Florentino or Murf Gray if it meant getting significant help in return. More callers weigh in on this topic as well.

The Pirates had the second highest get-in price of any team in all of baseball yesterday, behind only the Dodgers, who play in Los Angeles. This is most likely why nobody is there on a Tuesday night for a huge game. Oneil Cruz has been cleared for all baseball activity, even though he cannot come off of the IL until August 8th. More callers chime in on the Pirates.

BREAKING: Yohan Ramirez will start for the Pirates tomorrow, or at least open for the Pirates tomorrow. Poni thinks that the Pirates can only pitch Carmen Mlodzinski when he feels like pitching, and mentions that it would make sense for Mlodzinski to start tomorrow.

The Pirates were shut out through 8 innings by left hander Eduardo Rodriguez and lost the rubber match of the series by a score of 3-0. Poni says that the easiest bet in all of sports is whoever the Pirates are playing if they have a lefty on the mound. This brutal homestand probably has the Pirates rethinking their deadline plans.

More callers chime in on the Pirates’ brutal loss this afternoon.

Manager’s Minute – Don Kelly spoke to the media following today’s tough loss. Poni says that he is tired of hearing that PNC Park is a playoff atmosphere when nobody is there.

Today was the first day of Steelers practice. How did everyone look today? The quarterback breakdown is going to be something to follow the entire way. Do we still think the Steelers have done Mason Rudolph wrong? Is he going to be the backup? We didn’t hear much about Will Howard today.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff gave us a rundown of how practice is different under Mike McCarthy in comparison to Mike Tomlin. Poni wanted to hear something about each QB today. Jeff told us TJ Watt moved around when lined up on defense and it’s something we could see from all of the edge rushers this season. Jeff said Broderick Jones still looks thin even though he’s healthy enough to practice. Jeff touted Asante Samuel Jr. as an MVP of the first day. What do players think of the lack of tackling at camp?

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi talked about the note-taking aspect of covering training camp when coaches keep the tempo very high. She said for some people, it’s all about the team’s health. Aditi talked about the movement of TJ Watt in the defensive alignment and she hopes he stays with it.

Was this homestand an ending of the Pirates season? They haven’t had a long winning or losing streak all year. Poni doesn’t want fans telling other fans how to fan after Marcell Ozuna was boo’d last night.
