The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

The Pirates win total according to the betting markets is currently sitting at 80.5, which would be a season below .500 and a 4th place finish in the NL Central. With the Pirates being a game under .500 and 2-8 in their last 10, fans are asking if it’s time to trade Paul Skenes. What would that fetch?

Donny Football Debrief – Falcons QB Michael Penix has not yet been cleared to begin practicing, which likely means Tua Tagavailoa will start for them. A bunch of WPIAL football players have been ruled ineligible for the upcoming season.

The Pirates’ tandem of Jared Jones and Carmen Mlodzinski did not work last night, to say the least. Joe Block and Kevin Young went off on the Pirates’ decision to waste Carmen Mlodzinski in a blowout loss last night. Poni thinks it is a very bad sign if guys employed by the Pirates are avidly disagreeing with the team’s decision making.

PM Team Tuesday Draft - Best World Cup Countries

Brendan Sorsby has applied for the NFL’s supplemental draft. Poni thinks that Sorsby knows the NFL is an escape hatch for his situation.

The Steelers have gambling in their history, so that will prevent them from going after...

Another blowout loss for the Buccos, falling to the A’s, 11-2 in Sacramento. Poni’s question to start the show – why did the Pirates fire Oscar Marin? Things were going well with him here. Several random dudes pitched well with Marin in charge and the Pirates, as a collective, had a Top 10 staff in all of baseball.

The Pirates drop another series at PNC Park as the Marlins took 2 of 3 over the weekend. The Buccos have dropped 7 of their last 9 games. Poni called out Paul Skenes – saying we need more from the ace. He wasn’t bad against the Marlins, but he has to take control of a game like that. Is it fair to blame Skenes at all? People seem afraid to do so. Paul Skenes is against a salary cap or floor in bas...
