The Pomp And Joe Show

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. Jason thinks Paul Skenes will be here in May. He could still win Rookie of the Year and the service time talk goes out the window. He doesn't think it's going to be a Super Two thing. The Pirates are conserving innings now so they don't have to shut him down late. The Pirates traded for San Francisco catcher Joey Bart for a minor league pitcher. He's a former No. 2 overall pick that will backup Henry Davis and likely means Yasmani Grandal will be out even longer. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of The Athletic joined the show. Mark thinks if a Tyler Boyd deal was going to happen with the Steelers, it would have happened by now. He thinks the Stefon Diggs trade to Houston is a salary dump for Buffalo. Center remains a big question. Mark heard the Steelers would rather get a center in the second or third round.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: BREAKING: Pitt basketball guard Bub Carrington declares for 2024 NBA Draft. Also, the Penguins are still alive. Texts in the city.

BREAKING: The Buffalo Bills have traded Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans for a 2025 second-round pick. It might be an addition by subtraction for the Bills. Should the Steelers have been interested? Pitt is holding a mysterious press conference at 1 p.m. What could it be for? If it was a negative story, Pitt would only put out a press release. We speculate on if it could include Bub Carrington and/or Jaland Lowe.

Should we buy into the Pirates this season? The lineup is better with Oneil Cruz healthy, Henry Davis, and Ke'Bryan Hayes significantly better. the bullpen isn't even healthy yet.

The great Chase Claypool could be bound for the CFL. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show. The Pirates are 5-0. Ke'Bryan Hayes 2015 autograph rookie card is the card of the week. He also picked out a Sidney Crosby card.

It's a real possibility they could make the playoffs. Bronny James is transferring from USC? LSU-Iowa had 12.3 million viewers, the most watched women's basketball game ever.

Would the NBA international players beat team USA? Jay Caufield joins on women's basketball, the Pens impressive showing last night, the importance of tonight's game vs the Devils, the jumbled standings in the East. how scary Crosby would be in the playoffs for the opposition. Crosby's consistent greatness. The Pens won't die, and there's still enough culture in the locker room to have them in the race. Pro sports want most teams still in contention until the end. Derek Shelton joins to discuss the absence of Joe and Cook, the different ways they've won, Rowdy Tellez, the starting pitching, handling Jared Jones, the patchwork bullpen, O'Neil Cruz, Michael A Taylor, Henry Davis, the home opener crowd, and if he would eat the Renegade hot dog. Dan Zangrilli jumps in the studio to discuss the Pirates and the sum of their parts, the success against lefty starters, Bailey Falter, Quinn Priester, Henry Davis and his positional outlook, O'Neil Cruz. Iowa vs LSU WBB created a racial divide, a lot of sports talk is bad nowadays. Paul is excited about the home opener against Baltimore. Jim Leyland will throw out the first pitch at the home opener.
