The Pomp And Joe Show

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Baker Mayfield doesn't think he is being recognized for his value. Cam Heyward said he would like to play AT LEAST two more years. Keeanu Benton is not playing anywhere near nose. Bob in Monongahela wants people to enjoy the run for the Pirates and being competitive! Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. The Steelers were more in a rhythm today. DK Metcalf had a good day. Aaron Rodgers had a great practice. Will Howard ended practice with an interception. Accuracy and timing are so much different for Rodgers compared to Howard and Drew Allar.

Baker Mayfield doesn't think he is being recognized for his value. Cam Heyward said he would like to play AT LEAST two more years. Keeanu Benton is not playing anywhere near nose. Bob in Monongahela wants people to enjoy the run for the Pirates and being competitive!

We hear from Pirates fans. They're feeling pessimistic. A debate with Greg in Youngstown on how good of a player that Nick Gonzales is.

The LA Angels traded reliever Chase Silseth to the Rangers and takes one pitcher off the board for the Pirates. Austin's proposed Mason Miller deal. Austin thinks the Pirates could deal Carmen Mlodzinski, Edward Florentino, the Password, and Sammy Stafura. Would you trade Bubba Chandler?

Joe wants to golf. Mark DeRosa proposed the Pirates acquire Astros third baseman Isaac Paredes for Carmen Mlodzinski and Termarr Johnson. A heated debate on if the Pirates are utilizing Carmen Mlodzinski the right way. Bob and Austin think they haven't.

Adam Thielen said it was stressful playing with Aaron Rodgers. If you don't see or understand Rodgers' hand signals at the line that it could make a bad relationship with Rodgers. How does this effect Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard? How much of an impact does a baseball manager have? Joe doesn't think it's that much. Gennings Dunker was with the third team. Drew Allar had an up and down day, but made arguably the best throw of the day.

Ted in Connecticut, who knows Joe, calls in to talk about pickleball. Ted was on vacation with Joe. Is Ted Joe's brother? Joe is trying to figure out how to play golf in all 50 of the states.

The Pirates are frustration and excitement at once. Bob was at the first day of training camp. Bob noticed how quick the Steelers ran their practice was a fast pace and they don't waste any time. Charlie Batch is adamant the Steelers are not going to keep four quarterbacks. Pat Bostick would be shocked if the Steelers keep four quarterbacks. Gerry Dulac said in the Steelers situation, why wouldn't you keep four?
