The Pomp And Joe Show

There isn't much depth behind T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, plus the secondary still needs another outside and/or slot corner. Calvin Austin was a camp darling last year but didn't show it on the field.

BREAKING: Pirates recall Ji Hwan Bae from Triple-A. Who goes back to Indy? We think Alika Williams. Rowdy Tellez is still here, as of now. Cam Heyward is sitting out OTAs this week and wants a new deal. He doesn't think it's an issue he's sitting out because they're voluntary.

5-20 Full Joe Starkey Show!

The Show begins with a Starkey Rant. The time for the Pirates is right now, Joe says. The magic between Jared Jones and Paul Skenes only happens once, just ask the Cubs how Mark Prior and Kerry Wood went. The pieces are there, but they cannot be sellers. Joe goes over some players that could be available the Pirates may possibly target. The guys agree they need to add a bat. The topic shifts to Paul Skenes' start against the Cubs and how many strikeouts he had. Joe compares Skenes to Sidney Crosby.

We take some phone calls about the Pirates and what they should do trade wise, is Derek Shelton the guy, and what will happen with their bullpen?

Would Pete Alonso make sense for the Pirates as a pure rental? We move on to the horrific call on Saturday that cost the Pirates the game. The ball came loose after the tag and after the umpires reviewed the play, it stood. A discussion of instant replay, Dan Zangrilli joins the show really quickly to try and explain the call and what he has heard from the Pirates and their lack of protest after the game.

We listen to Derek Shelton's explanation about the play at the plate and somehow we are even more confused after.

Mark Stepnoski joins the show, a former Super Bowl Champion and Pitt Panther.

A Bob Pompeani Showdown!

Continuing the Bob Pompeani Showdown!

Wrapping up the show. Joe asks a question about who has the most touchdowns before the age of 28.
