The Pomp And Joe Show

One Steelers reporter said the Steelers want to give Najee Harris a new deal. If they did, why not pick up the option and add on more years? It doesn't make sense.

 More frustrated Pirates fans weigh in on the state of the team. Would you allow Cam Heyward and Andrew McCutchen to dictate when and how their careers end? 

The Fan Morning Show dropped a diss track against the PM Team. We reacted and discussed the bet Crowley and Poni made on Friday.

Rowdy Tellez is 4 for 25 this season with runners in scoring position. He has been a major disappointment and shouldn't be in the heart of the order. The lineup has been an overall disaster. 

Oneil Cruz hit a solo home run a mile into the air over the Clemente Wall into the first row of the seats. We hear from concerned callers regarding the Pirates' poor past 25 games. 

Paul Skenes was solid in his MLB debut with 4+ innings and seven strikeouts. It was electric at PNC Park Saturday. Despite it all, the Pirates found ways to lose the series and continue to flounder in the NL Central.  

The full Joe Starkey Show with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise from Friday, May 10th, 2024

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Will Paul Skenes be an all-time great? We're pumped for Skenes' debut and what he could become in Pittsburgh. Who will be more famous in two months, Paul Skenes or Livvy Dunne? LSU baseball head coach Jay Johnson wouldn't put it past Paul Skenes to be the Pirates version of Ohtani. 

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline joined the show. If MLB Pipeline reranked their top pitching prospects right now, Paul Skenes would be No. 1 and Jared Jones No. 2. Skenes is close to the best pitching prospects he's ever seen behind Stephen Strasburg. Frank Caliendo gave an impression of how Mel Kiper graded Dorin during the NFL Draft. 

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Bethel Park alum and Pirates prospect Justin Meis joined the show. Meis was roommates with Jared Jones in Double-A Altoona last season. Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show following the first day of rookie minicamp. Troy Fautanu was working out at right tackle and Beanie Bishop was working in the slot.
