Graves is back this season to talk about the Pirates and help break down the upcoming series with Chrystal. The Pirates and White Sox both sit at the bottom of the Central Division and have plenty of unfortunate similarities, and Graves does a great job of pointing out their commonalities.

Here is what Chrystal and Graves talked about:

  • What's new with the Pirates?
  • Firing managers and poor ownership
  • How the Pirates and White Sox are nearly the same
  • Remembering Dave Parker
  • Yinzerpalooza weekend and Mac Miller Day
  • Paul Skenes gets the All-Star start for the National League
  • Pittsburgh's inability to develop prospects
  • Ben Cherington and the distrust among fans
  • Minor leaguers get called up and don't play
  • Will Bob Nutting ever wake up?
  • Trade deadlines
  • A potential lockout in 2027?
  • Pitching previews
  • Andrew McCutchen lovefest
  • Who is the biggest threat to the White Sox?
  • Keys to winning the series
  • Fears of being swept, or at least losing two of three
  • Automated Ball-Strike system is coming soon
  • The league is ready for a salary cap and floor
  • What happened to the torpedo bats?
  • You can find Graves on X and Bluesky.
