I played the wrong open but Joe liked it. The Ville Koivunen contract seemed like a joke. What does he do well and what could his role be? It's Sidney Crosby's birthday! Would Sid want market value in his next contract?Callers pepper TK with questions. Joe is bummed today. Do young women watch TV? Joe likes to ride only old and weak horses. We are overtaken by flash flood warnings. Joe thinks AI will create an athlete. A debate about tipping. Another debate about ghosts. Ray Fittipaldo joins to give a health update on IMax, the QB depth chart, some penalty woes, the odds of keeping 4 QBs, Broderick Jones, Daylen Everette's bright future, how veterans are adjusting to the different style of camp under McCarthy, free association. Joe asks Ray a final question three times. More flash flood warnings. Mike Tomlin made his anticipated broadcast debut last night. Joe gives him an A-. We'd love to see him call a game. Joe doesn't like some of the YouTube comments. Are there any Pirates fans still feeling optimistic? Is Luke Weaver ever going to pitch? When is Cruz coming back? Joe blames Cherington (Nutting), and Skenes. Callers aren't happy about Bill Murphy. A caller questions the analytics factor in Skenes performance. The Pirates have a built-in excuse now with their injuries. Somehow the bullpen has become the strength. We revisit ghosts and Josh Harrison. Bob Walk joins to discuss Caddyshack, the best baseball movie of all time, what he expects from Mlodzinski, how Paul Skenes has handled his struggles, the Mets pitcher with a wild celebration, if Barry Bonds HR record is legit. Joe is mad I didn't include Antawn Randel-El on the weather read. Famous sports birthdays and deaths on this day.
