The Pomp And Joe Show

We are helping the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank with the #BurghProud initiative. Participants are going to walk 30 miles in 30 days. Dysen on DC proposes that the Pirates start Wilber Dotel, move Carmen Mlodzinski to the bullpen. Bubba Chandler has a great arm but has way too many command issues.

The Pirates bullpen fell apart again and lost 10-4. Yohan Ramirez and Justin Lawrence allowed six runs. Dennis Santana has been a huge disappointment. The Pirates are 2-9 in Bubba Chandler's starts. Chandler leads the league in walk and his ERA is close to five. Donny thinks Bubba Chandler is sort of out in No Man's Land.

A hockey fan in Nova Scotia gave Tyler Kennedy all of his hockey cards. TK once traded hockey sticks with Evgeni Malkin! TK will give Austin a signed Sidney Crosby jersey if he grows out his mustache until Christmas. Who will play the longest and who retires first: Crosby, Malkin, Letang, or Alexander Ovechkin?

Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy joined the show. TK has gout. TK thinks it's a great thing that Evgeni Malkin is back. Malkin is still very productive and is a good mentor. Malkin was still a point per game guy. If Malkin plays a full season, could he have 75 points?? TK thinks Sidney Crosby may have had a say, but the decision to bring back Malkin had to be up to Kyle Dubas.

Geno is back! The Pens release indicates Letang will be back as well. Austin doesn't believe this was the decision of Kyle Dubas, but rather, the Hoffman family. A caller chimes in to support the move but notes the team isn't that close to contending. If the Pens bottom out, would Malkin benefit from being moved? Another caller wants Auston Matthews. A quick 6 pack. Pirates hammered the Cubs. Braxton Ashcraft could be an All-Star. Did he pitch too deep last night? How closely should they follow an innings limit? The General chimes in to offer his cards of the week - Malkin and Ashcraft. Mark Kaboly joins to discuss the different schedule with Mike McCarthy, which rookie has impressed the most, Drew Allar's reps, the offensive line alignment, Kaboly details Derrick Harmon driving a very small car, his thoughts on Malkin's return and a hockey tidbit, Dean Lowry's return, will Porter Jr or Herbig sign extensions. Matt Clement joins to discuss his big day with Butler baseball, Braxton Ashcraft's performance, Dennis Santana's outing, Bryan Reynolds' under-the-radar success, Henry Davis and if he'll continue to get chances. Matt Clement sticks around to talk about Ozuna, if the recent call-ups should be getting those ABs instead, if Chandler is making his final start in the rotation. could Carmen Mlodzinski thrive in the bullpen, how the Pirates will manage Jared Jones. Bailey Falter got DFA'd today, so we revisit that trade with the Royals, as well as check in on Ke'Bryan Hayes. A caller gives his ideal lineup construction. How concerning are Cruz's strikeouts? Austin and Sean share their first autographs. The Pirates' offense has been good, and Spencer Horwitz has been extremely underrated. Jason Mackey joins, and is baffled by Austin's question about Bubba Chandler. why did Ashcraft pitch into the seventh in a blowout win, and how good Horwitz has been lately.
