The Pomp And Joe Show

Bob Pompeani suggests that an Oneil Cruz demotion is possible to help him get his confidence back. What can the Pirates do to stop their skid?

What has happened to the Pirates since the beginning of the season? They started off hot and now are at .500. Who is to blame?

Was it? The guys are not buying it. Why would they pull Jones while dominating? Diving deep into the comments made by the Pirates General Manager.

The inductees to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame were announced. Who was deserving out of the list and who is not in who should be? Is the voting process comparable to professional sports?

(4-19 Whole Joe Show)

We begin the show with a sports six pack! Kyle Dubas is currently speaking to the media right now. What questions would you have for the Penguins General Manager? Will Todd Reirden have a job this time next week? How would you grade Kyle Dubas' first year in Pittsburgh? Aroldis Chapman was suspended for two games for cursing at an umpire in Spanish. What could have possibly been said? Paul Skenes threw another great outing. Why is he still in the minors? Josh Yohe says that coaching changes may not be coming. So Todd Reirden may be staying after all. 

Stanley Cup Champion Tyler Kennedy joins the show. Why should Mike Sullivan be the head coach? He tries to answer why the Penguins power play was so bad. Should the Pens hire Jaromir Jagr be brought in as a power play coach

Ray Fittipaldo joins Joe and Paul. Joe skips the pleasantries and asks immediately: Who will they draft? Ray is torn between Amarius Mims and Graham Barton, two offensive linemen. He says the wild card scenarios are Cooper DeJean and Bryan Thomas. Peyton Wilson from NC State is a name to watch according to Ray. He says Wilson is often injured but is someone to take a chance on in the later rounds. Joe then plays his normal game of free association with Ray. 

Gregg Doyel had an awkward interaction with Caitlin Clark. Joe asks why he makes it about him? Joe and Paul have a discussion about columnists and asking questions at press conferences. 

Jeff Hathhorn joins Joe and Paul in the studio to discuss the Kyle Dubas press conference. Jeff says there "was a lot of dancing" around the questions. 

Jeff sticks around to talk about the Pirates and their plans with Paul Skenes. Why are the Pirates being stingy with Skenes and Jared Jones? Skenes went on the Pat McAfee show as the three were talking about him and Jones. 

Bob Walk joins to talk about Skenes and to preview the Red Sox series. Bob talks about how much the game has changed over the years and how pitching has become more speed than anything. 

Quick predictions for the Pirates this weekend against the Red Sox and how Quinn Priester does.
