Show Open and some phone calls

The Joe Starkey Show

(Hour 1 with Joe Starkey, Paul Zeise, and Bob Pompeani) The Show begins with a Starkey Rant. The time for the Pirates is right now, Joe says. The magic between Jared Jones and Paul Skenes only happens once, just ask the Cubs how Mark Prior and Kerry Wood went. The pieces are there, but they cannot be sellers. Joe goes over some players that could be available the Pirates may possibly target. The guys agree they need to add a bat. The topic shifts to Paul Skenes' start against the Cubs and how many strikeouts he had. Joe compares Skenes to Sidney Crosby. We take some phone calls about the Pirates and what they should do trade wise, is Derek Shelton the guy, and what will happen with their bullpen?
