Paul Skenes debut predictions Saturday. What do we expect?

 Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk joined the show. Bob recalled his MLB debut and first game in the dugout. He expects Paul Skenes to be as good as Stephen Strasburg. Jared Jones and Paul Skenes going for Rookie of the Year is a sight to see. Nick Gonzales is also back in Pittsburgh. 

Dr. Ron Dick from Duquesne University thinks Livvy Dunne could bring a an effect to the Pirates and Pittsburgh like Taylor Swift did, but in a JV type of way. Zeise disagrees emphatically. Who's right?

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. 

Bethel Park alum and Pirates prospect Justin Meis joined the show. Meis was roommates with Jared Jones in Double-A Altoona last season. Jones is a fascinating and really good dude who pitches angrily.

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. 

LSU baseball head coach Jay Johnson wouldn't put it past Paul Skenes to be the Pirates version of Ohtani. The bats need to come alive and drive in runs. 

Will Paul Skenes be an all-time great? We're pumped for Skenes' debut and what he could become in Pittsburgh. Najee's agent Doug Hendrickson called out Zeise on social media for his 'little birdie' report Najee Harris wanted the Steelers to decline his fifth-year option.
