HOUR 1 - Pirates comeback on Dodgers, Game Balls, Jason Mackey

from The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

A remarkable comeback last night at PNC Park as the Pirates beat the Dodgers, 9-8. Tyler Callihan was the unlikely hero, homering twice for his first two home runs in Major League Baseball. What did this mean for this team? It could be a game that turns the tide of their season. Poni shouted out the crowd last night that didn’t leave with the Pirates down 6-1 in the 7th. Game Balls for PIT-LAD: Tyler Callihan, Spencer Horwitz, Bryan Reynolds. Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason reacted to a magical night at PNC Park. Do we see more playing time for Tyler Callihan after his huge night? Jason thinks we could be close to the end of the line for Marcell Ozuna, especially once the team gets healthy again. How can the Pirates become a better team with challenging balls and strikes? Jason discussed the Oneil Cruz injury and what his recovery looks like. Jason paused, but believes we will see Konnor Griffin before July 1st since he can still perform in some aspects of the game. Who are some bullpen options in Triple A right now? Poni told Jason he is tired of the piggyback schedule within the rotation. Are the Pirates going to take a look at Aroldis Chapman going into the trade deadline?
