10 AM: Was it the Hoffman family instead of Kyle Dubas who wanted Malkin back; are the Pirates making a mistake with Braxton Ashcraft

Geno is back! The Pens release indicates Letang will be back as well. Austin doesn't believe this was the decision of Kyle Dubas, but rather, the Hoffman family. A caller chimes in to support the move but notes the team isn't that close to contending. If the Pens bottom out, would Malkin benefit from being moved? Another caller wants Auston Matthews. A quick 6 pack. Pirates hammered the Cubs. Braxton Ashcraft could be an All-Star. Did he pitch too deep last night?  How closely should they follow an innings limit? The General chimes in to offer his cards of the week - Malkin and Ashcraft.
