HOUR 1 - Pirates shut out in Seattle, Calls, Dan Zangrilli
The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller - Un pódcast de Audacy - Lunes
Oh, the Pirates. Less than a week after shutting out the Cardinals in all 3 games of a sweep at PNC Park, they were shut out in all 3 games against the Mariners in Seattle. What is this team? Is there a simple answer? Paul Skenes is their only All Star. By the way, that is the first time the Pirates have been shut out in an entire series since the late 1800’s when they weren’t even called the Pirates. Listeners give a word or two to describe the Pirates’ season. Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan has no idea if the Pirates are closer or further away to where they want to be. He said the crux of the frustration is how good their starting pitching is. Dan believes outside of Paul Skenes, the pitching is ‘pretty darn good.’ How much credit do we give Ben Cherington for the staff? The guys asked Dan about a report of some players going ‘rogue’ in some of their hitting work. How much of the team’s budget was put into the analytics department?
