The Pomp And Joe Show

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: We hear the call from Joe Block and Neil Walker when David Bednar was pulled. More on booing and what fans should do. Joe recalls a Roberto Clemente quote when he was booed. These are topics that matter with the Pirates because they're good and people care more now than previous years. It's a breath of fresh air in a way with expectations to win and be competitive all season.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Sidney Crosby has once again been named the NHL's most complete player with 34% of the vote. Crosby can play at a high level through age 40. It's the fifth year in a row Crosby has won the honor. Mark Kaboly of The Athletic joined the show. A new report regarding how the Steelers handled their QB situation. Russell Wilson wouldn't sign unless he knew he was the starter. Mason Rudolph reportedly had close to a deal to return to the Steelers, but Kaboly said it's completely false. There was no official offer on the table for Rudolph. Tackle, center, and wide receiver in the first three rounds of the draft.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Pirates reporter John Perrotto of Pittsburgh Baseball Now joined the show. It was nice of Rowdy Tellez to support David Bednar, but he's been here for five minutes... how does he know what we do in Pittsburgh? Martin Perez was dominant over eight innings and has been their best starter. The 100 pitch mark makes some sense to take out pitchers, but at the same time, Perez is a veteran who was having quick innings and is healthy. He could have completed the game. Texts in the city.

Were fans booing David Bednar or Derek Shelton after Bednar's blown save? Two fans who were at the game shared they were booing Shelton.
