Speaker 1: in the country. I can't think of anything like this

69
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: anywhere where you have such a beloved figure like Clemente.

70
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: The Clemente Museum in and of itself is a complete

71
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: unicorn in the world of sports because it has every

72
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: piece of memorabilia you could ever imagine. Things you would

73
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: never even think of are there. And if the person

74
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: walking you through is the guy who was on the

95
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 5: News This hour brought to you by Keystone Basement Systems

00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,400

100
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: winds and an isolated tornado that should be happening somewhere

101
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 5: around seven o'clock tonight. Delta Airlines is suspending its special

102
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 5: Congressional Desk service for lawmakers. According to a statement, Delta

103
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 5: will suspend the service, which provided dedicated flight assistance to

104
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 5: members of Congress, including allowing them to skip the line

105
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 5: at security checkpoints. In a statement, Delta said, next to safety,

106
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 5: Delta's number one priorities taking care of our people and customers,

107
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 5: which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment. The

108
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: change comes days after the Senate unanimously approved a proposal

109
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: to end the preferential treatment that lawmakers receive. It also

110
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 5: comes as the backlog at airports nationwide has worsened in

111
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 5: recent days as TSA employees go without pay due to

112
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 5: the ongoing partial government shutdown.

113
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I think this is going to have a reverse effect,

114
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: and it's going to make the lower echelon lawmakers have

115
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: to up their grift game because they're gonna be like,

116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: screw this flying cod you know, like with the general

117
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: public stuff, I'm going to have to really let myself

118
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: get taken by some lobbyists to get on some private

119
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: plays here.

120
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: I guess, so this is hell.

121
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 5: I did like that they were finally going like, oh,

122
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 5: you guys can't get it done.

123
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 4: Oh I don't remember who you are? Yea, All of

124
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 4: a sudden I forgot.

125
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: Well, it's a sad, sorry, state of affairs that need

126
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: not us to delve too far into other than to

127
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: say it.

128
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: Could be fixed immediately in five minutes.

129
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, now, keep keep doing what you're doing.

130
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 5: So far, it was looking like Pittsburgh International wasn't getting

131
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 5: held up by the TSA issues. I know that this morning,

132
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 5: Fly Pittsburgh stopped updating, which I think is one of.

133
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: The not so good signs. They're like TSA wait is zero.

134
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 5: Minutes, and it's like that's your first sign that it's

135
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 5: not so good because once that stops updating, that kind

136
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 5: of shows you that the TSA lines are about to

137
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 5: get very long.

138
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 6: Okay, well you know, someone who is listening to this

139
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 6: right now is like, I go to the auxiliary TSA

140
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 6: line where you cross over the top.

141
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 7: That's where I get.

142
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 2: People don't know about that. And then you get up

143
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: there on the line is just as long.

144
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 6: Worst even, and people are not prepared yet any I'm sorry, Yeah, no,

145
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 6: I don't understand.

146
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: People go to the airport and they're like, huh, I

147
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: can't have a twelve pack of D batteries in my pocket.

148
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: Well, why didn't you put up a sign.

149
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: It's like the you're always stuck behind people who have

150
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: not left their house since nineteen seventy eight.

151
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 3: You gotta do pre and you and clear is not

152
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: always faster, but you gotta have you gotta have pre

153
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: although or it's harder. In Pittsburgh now. Pre used to

154
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: be awesome in Pittsburgh. Now they've kind of watered it

155
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: down a little bit.

156
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you travel non stop, so for you, that's

157
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: a necessity.

158
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: I just I don't like the new system of every

159
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: They have to inspect your tray before you stick it

160
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: on and go through, and there's.

161
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: Like the Q system.

162
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: It should be you get in line, you throw your

163
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: crap on the light, you go through. I agree, that's it.

164
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: I agree.

165
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: I just formally believe that. But you said it's some

166
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: big scheme for twenty twenty five or twenty six with

167
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 3: Project twenty twenty five. Yeah, I just think, why can't

168
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: we all just agree we don't need the TSA. Let's

169
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: have one big metal detector. If he goes, then one

170
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: old cop walks over and go way. He got on you,

171
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: and that's it, like it used to.

172
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: Be Joe Bartneck for Homeland Security.

173
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 7: Old Copp.

174
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't need the older the better. Yeah, the

175
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: highly trade Marines, what s they art? Now?

176
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: To me, the TSA is a bunch of people who

177
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: literally it's like an unemployment check.

178
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: You have to stand around the airport to pick up.

179
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're gonna have a hard time getting through Pittsburgh

180
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: International next time.

181
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 5: All right, what do you think of this trend? Some

182
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 5: couples are passing on the expensive engagement rings and opting

183
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 5: to spend the money on a vacation instead. So according

184
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 5: to a new report, sixty five percent of Americans say

185
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 5: that engage rings have evolved from a traditional symbol of

186
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 5: love to a financial burden.

187
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 4: On average.

188
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 5: People think an engagement ring should cost around ten thousand,

189
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 5: six hundred dollars, which for some is actually less than

190
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: the old adage of three month salary. The people in

191
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 5: the survey bring in an average of sixty two thousand

192
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 5: dollars per year. Twenty five percent of that or three months,

193
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: is about fifteen thousand dollars. That's a big chunk of change,

194
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 5: and twenty six percent of gen z ers would rather

195
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 5: pass on a pricey ring and just use the cash

196
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 5: to go on a trip together. Twenty five percent of

197
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 5: those people say they'd just get matching tattoos instead, and

198
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 5: even tattooed rings.

199
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 4: It's also become trendy to get modern.

200
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 5: Bands made of silicon wood or titanium rather than going

201
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 5: gold or getting diamonds, and it sounds like even the

202
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 5: future mother in laws don't care. About half of younger

203
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 5: Americans say they feel more pressure from social media society

204
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 5: have an expensive engagement ring and from their family or

205
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 5: their partner you.

206
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: Know, this is one of those. To me, it is

207
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: very much up to you.

208
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: It's certain people want a big wedding and big rings

209
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: and the pump in the circumstance, and other people it's

210
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: not that important. I mean, I remember when I was

211
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: younger someone who was dating she said, like, if if

212
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: we ever got married, I wouldn't care if you put

213
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: a like a coke can ring.

214
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: She's like, it did not matter at her at all.

215
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: And then there are other people where that is a

216
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: very important symbol, like that represents so much to them

217
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: that they couldn't imagine life without it. I think it's

218
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: partner specific. Like Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.

219
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 4: Yeah they're not wait they're not married right, never.

220
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: Never married, never anything.

221
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 7: Really, I just assumed that they were married.

222
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 2: They were like, well, let's just keep doing this till

223
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: it's not fun anymore.

224
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: Yeah.

225
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 7: Nice, sounds great, but I get it.

226
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: I think that too many people with weddings in particular

227
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: are not so much like just the ring, yeah, that

228
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: they are doing it to please other people. Like if

229
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: they're up to me, I would just do this small party,

230
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: but my mom will be upset, right, you know, my

231
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: grandparents are really looking forward to it, and that's something

232
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: you have to take into consideration too.

233
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting like screw those people.

234
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be about everybody, or you want it

235
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: to be that way, but I think too often people

236
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: aren't doing what they really want to do for their wedding.

237
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: They are not.

238
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 5: Am I super precious? That ten thousand dollars for an

239
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 5: engagement ring does not sound reasonable.

240
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,599
Speaker 2: Like it's too low, Like it's too high. Oh, I

241
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: don't know, it's crazy.

242
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 5: I think I'm not trying to Yeah, that sounds stupid

243
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 5: to me.

244
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 4: Is that is that what people pay? I'm serious, I.

245
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 7: Think big time that's what people pay.

246
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 4: Are really what people pay?

247
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: Yeah? I would thought it was even more.

248
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 6: To be honest with you, I went to a wedding

249
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 6: last year. My wife is you know, she's like zoom

250
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 6: in on the ring, zoom in on the ring. You know,

251
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 6: it's like you cut. I, Hey, Steve got engaged, Okay,

252
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 6: zoom in on the ring.

253
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

254
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 6: Wow, I'm like, tell me about it. She's like oval

255
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 6: cut And she's not that type of person who wanted

256
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 6: like a fancy engagement ring, but she's into it.

257
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 8: You know.

258
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 6: I think she knows about it. All I can say

259
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 6: is because I recently rewatched this movie. If you're in

260
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 6: a situation where your partner has a big ring expectation,

261
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 6: come home from work, say hey, I was thinking about State.

262
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 6: Maybe we could put on a movie, you know, see

263
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 6: what's on Netflix, and then put on Blood Diamond. Yeah,

264
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 6: you won't be worried about I rewatched that recently.

265
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 7: It's like, oh, yeah, wow, this is really intense.

266
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: I have watched that.

267
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: That's one of those movies you watch it one time

268
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my god, Yeah that's harrowing and devastating,

269
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: and I don't think I'm gonna watch it again.

270
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: Put it out of my mind.

271
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: Wow, But I heard like the fake diamonds are even like,

272
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: they're stronger.

273
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 9: Even less ethically. They killed animals too. The lab diamonds, Yeah,

274
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 9: lab diamonds, that's it. They're pretty okay. Mine mine was

275
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 9: a lab diamond.

276
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: There you go.

277
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and way cheaper.

278
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 5: Who would I thought I was gonna say this ten

279
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 5: thousand dollars number. I'm like, one, I'm a rube.

280
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 4: I got hosed if that's what you guys are spending.

281
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 5: And I'm like, way too accommodating but also I didn't

282
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 5: get a real diamond, like well, I mean real diamond.

283
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 5: I didn't get a blood diamond. I was I was

284
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 5: kind of like, I don't want that anyway. And also, yeah,

285
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 5: the lab diamonds are very pretty.

286
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: I used my grandmother's, which was awesome. But now after

287
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: the divorce makes it for like I let my grandmother down.

288
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: Ah, did you get it?

289
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's good, but it's kind of like, oh,

290
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: you didn't.

291
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: Let her down because you got it back.

292
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: Have you guys?

293
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: You know, along along the lines of this marriage and

294
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: a discussion here, have you been reading any of these

295
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: stories about something that is being called the alpine divorce?

296
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 2: No, kind of, yes, kind of.

297
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: It's when you go hiking with the person that you

298
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: don't want to be with anymore, and the more experienced

299
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: hiker just takes off and strands the other person. This

300
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: has happened several times recently. Wait, yes, but there's a

301
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: whole Reddit thread about it. Women are being abandoned by

302
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: their partners on hiking trails. There was a whole article

303
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: in the Guardian about it. It's called the Alpine divorce.

304
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god, not kidding. Now, there are women who

305
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: have died women who were left for dead, and then

306
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: they come back and then they're like, he literally wanted

307
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: me to die.

308
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: And then the guy's like, I did it and I

309
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: lost you.

310
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 6: You know.

311
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: Obviously the guy couldn't afford the rent a boat.

312
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: Oh my god, so much easier.

313
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't get a boat. But I did watch

314
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 6: the Revenue night the nautical divorces. Yeah, that's sure tried

315
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 6: and true.

316
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: But I just thought it was such a funny phrase, like,

317
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: and the fact that the Guardian's reporting on it was

318
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: so serious. Why are women being abandoned by partners on

319
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: hiking trails? What's behind the alpine divorce?

320
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 5: I love that men have to do something extreme like women.

321
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 5: We could just like abandon you in a grocery store

322
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: and be like, go get me two percent milk, check

323
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 5: the cell by date and make sure it's going to

324
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 5: last for two weeks.

325
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: And I was like, I will.

326
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: Never see you again. I was in the cereal aisle.

327
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: I got distracted.

328
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 4: Okay, I tried calling you.

329
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: Why didn't you answer.

330
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: I think I would think that you would do it.

331
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: You're trying something on somewhere.

332
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd be like, I need to find a dress

333
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: for this event. Can you wait for me? Right here?

334
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 10: Gone exactly?

335
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: Never again, because the dude would just be on his

336
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: phone until the battery ran out.

337
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: Why are the lights off in the mall?

338
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 4: What happened?

339
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:24,040

395
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 15: It's that time of year when the DV Morning Show

396
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 15: thinks that hope springs eternal about baseball season, and while

397

Speaker 8: Bridgewal clients.

414
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: Take number one, what don't you prepare to do?

415
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 8: Significant statements were made by Sidney Crosby via Joey Be's

416
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 8: broadcast partner, Josh Joey of The Athletic after the Penguins

417
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 8: went splat against the Avalanche. Said sid and I quote,

418
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 8: we're giving up too much. We've got to make sure

419
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 8: we're defending better. I was guilty of it too. We

420
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 8: have to defend better. We just have to. I've got

421
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 8: to lead the way on that. Amen to all of that,

422
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 8: the captain knows they've been playing with their heads up

423
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 8: the backside of their hockey pants of late, and that

424
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 8: it is not sustainable.

425
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 2: And as the.

426
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 8: Captain, it's on Crosby to emphasize that, not just to

427
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 8: the Athletic but to all who need to hear it

428
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 8: in the room. Whatever it takes to drive that point

429
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 8: home needs to be communicated immediately, if not sooner, agreed,

430
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 8: stop giving up five goals. Yeah, see how that works.

431
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 8: Take number two for love of the game. It's Paul

432
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 8: Skeen's day for openers in Flushing, New York. And whether

433
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 8: you're riding high on a newfound and unfamiliar optimism, if

434
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 8: not expectation or skeptical, because after all, these are the

435
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 8: Pirates we're talking about. Schemes transcends even the Bucko's signature

436
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 8: ability to annually become their own worst enemy. His turns

437
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 8: into rotation are days to be embraced, experienced, and appreciated

438
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 8: at home.

439
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: Or on the road.

440
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 8: They're different, and the Pirates are a different team with

441
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 8: schemes on the mound to the degree that they could

442
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 8: win on those nights or days even if.

443
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 2: John c Riley was behind the plate.

444
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 10: Paullie, we don't stink today.

445
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 8: Today we're the best team in baseball, and it's all

446
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 8: because of you. Clear the mechanism and breathe in as

447
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 8: much of schemes as you.

448
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 10: Can for as long as you can. Take number three.

449
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: The party has not been crashed.

450
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 8: Speaking of enjoying things while they last, my fear that

451
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 8: the NCAA Tournament as we've known and loved it traditionally

452
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 8: will be going away sooner rather than later has not

453
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 8: been assuaged despite a recognizably dramatic and compelling first four days.

454
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 8: When the Sweet sixteen tips off and Cinderella hasn't been

455
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 8: invited to the ball, it's a problem, but at least

456
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 8: there's this. For the first time since nineteen fifty four,

457
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 8: the guest list doesn't include Kansas, Kentucky, UCLA, or North Carolina.

458
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 8: Welcome to the party, Iowa and Nebraska. They've played twice

459
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 8: already this season, and I'll be honest with you, I

460
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 8: didn't watch either game.

461
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: I could have. I just did. But tonight Cornhub is

462
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 2: must see TV. Credit to PFT.

463
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 10: Credit to pftson joke. That was a good joke.

464
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: I'm excited for all this work for a Thursday night.

465
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: We are really blessed. Oh my god, I don't know

466
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: what to do.

467
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna go to a bar that has

468
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: a lot of TVs basically because there's just too much

469
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: going on. The Penguins game, as Joe Bartnek pointed out earlier,

470
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: super important, it's must win.

471
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 2: You know, I'm gonna argue with you on that.

472
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 8: You're waiting for those five or six games, right, and

473
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 8: the Islanders are playing Dallas tonight.

474
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: How do we think that's gonna go?

475
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: You know, hopefully, uh, hopefully better for Dallas, but that

476
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 3: I would Dallas theme.

477
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 10: Finland's gonna crush the Fishermen.

478
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, the Fisherman's sorocan didn't steal one here A remain calm.

479
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: All as well.

480
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: I'm more of the we need to win because of

481
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: how they've been playing. It's not I'm not looking at

482
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: the math. The trend starts needs to start going the

483
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: other way here. If we play what ten games left?

484
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: Love it, I believe.

485
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 3: Okay, if we play like we did against the Avalanche,

486
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 3: we'll beat most teams, even though that was a five

487
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 3: to two result. Yeah, but you know, I mean we

488
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: blew a couple of power play chances and uh you know,

489
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 3: and they would club back goal. I mean, they're the

490
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 3: Avalanche are the best team in hockey kind of by far.

491
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm glad you're feeling good about it now.

492
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: Then you get the Sweet sixteen as we said, I'm

493
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: with you. I would prefer they play much better.

494
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 8: That's let's all look like you know what you're doing,

495
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 8: and you're playing a game that can win in the play.

496
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Particularly defensively, like get it together, and then you get

497
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen, then you get the Buckos and Paul Skins.

498
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: How am I not going to watch Paul Skeens?

499
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: And will this tad be another year of us watching

500
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: Paul Skeans pitch seven brilliant innings or six and a

501
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: third or six and two thirds and then they lose

502
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: two to one.

503
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, or and pull them at the wrong time, which has.

504
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 2: Been that's gonna be on Tomorrow's.

505
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 7: Day preemptively written out Chelta.

506
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 2: Was worse at that than Donnie Kelly.

507
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 8: Right, that's true, guys, Budweiser, Clydesdale, and they're worried about

508
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 8: him breaking yeah for who the Yankees?

509
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 2: Yes?

510
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 8: And if he does yea, oh well, then I guess

511
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 8: the Dodge's got to cite somebody else for sixty trillion dollars.

512
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 16: Right.

513
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: That's why I don't understand the counter different thing. I

514
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: don't want to beat the dead horse here.

515
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 8: I don't either, But you know, all they're doing is

516
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 8: they're betting against the kid instead of on him.

517
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, nobody does how he's gonna do.

518
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, he might, he might, he might prove to be

519
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 8: overmatched in a once again, So what I send.

520
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: Him out a triple A then wonderfully doesn't need it.

521
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: You're wasting time. I don't know if people are prepared

522
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: for how bad this team could be defensively.

523
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: I don't think they are, and he makes them better defensively.

524
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 10: Now they think Drillo can handle shortstop.

525
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 17: He can, But then you got Gonzo a third and

526
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 17: he hasn't even played the spring I know I'm killing

527
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 17: that point a little bit, a little bit, but not

528
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 17: significantly for a guy whose position is on the other side.

529
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 8: And guess what if he played every inning of every

530
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 8: spring training game. At spring training game of third, Nick Gonzalez,

531
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 8: arm wouldn't have gotten any stronger because of that.

532
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: He's a second baseman who hits a little bit.

533
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: It's driving me crazy. I don't think he's a bad player.

534
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: It just can't put that much of an honest on

535
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: a guy like that.

536
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: I'd love him coming off the bench.

537
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 17: Yes, yeah, And you're like, well, we got Scheens and

538
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 17: he maybe we should got guns on that.

539
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: Well, he's got to get to some balls before he

540
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: mixed errors. He's saying he's in a mobile second baseement.

541
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 16: Mind.

542
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing with Triolo. They think he

543
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 2: can handle it, but he doesn't have the range that

544
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: Skeens has.

545
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And as you've pointed out many times,

546
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: it runs counter to the idea with this great rotation

547
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: that you would put a defense out of there. That is,

548
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: you know, half ass the outfield got worse defensively, you know,

549
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: the only Tonil Kruz should play third base.

550
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 8: Well, theoretically, don't confuse me saying this with me thinking

551
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 8: this is going to happen. But theoretically O'Neil Cruz could

552
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 8: be a great center fielder. Oh yeah, absolutely, it's a

553
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 8: physical ability. He could be a great anything. Yeah, anything

554
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 8: he said his mind to, Yes, which the list of

555
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 8: things that he sets his mind to, I think is

556
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 8: pretty short.

557
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 2: Is coming up at the top of.

558
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,600

Speaker 14: Thanks for making time nice, Thank you for having me.

602
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 14: I appreciate it. I'm sorry if you hear a lot

603
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 14: of traffic in the background. I'm outside in New York City,

604
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 14: but I feel like that kind of sets the tone

605
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 14: for today.

606
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: I know you got to jump on the bus pretty

607
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: soon to get to the park. But with the season

608
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: opening up today, Paul Skean's on the mound, I'm wondering

609
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: what in your mind separates this year's Pirate team from

610
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five buckos.

611
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 14: So many things, for sure. I think that every guy

612
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 14: that you ask about this exact question and this and

613
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 14: this exact feeling, every single one of them says the

614
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 14: same thing where they talk.

615
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 18: About it feels different this year. It really does.

616
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 14: It's a hard thing to explain, but I think that

617
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 14: starts first and foremost with John Kelly and the culture

618
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 14: that he has cultivated here. Everyone is so aligned and

619
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 14: pulling in the same direction. And I've been, you know,

620
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 14: talking so much around the clubhouse and everyone's in full

621
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 14: support of him and what he's done and how he's

622
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 14: brought everyone together. And these guys are so determined to win,

623
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 14: and not just win for themselves. This is about the

624
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 14: city of Pittsburgh. It's bigger than all of them, and

625
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 14: they know that they feel that, and so you can

626
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 14: definitely feel that. Aside from that, the pieces that they acquired,

627
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 14: they have been so great for this clubhouse. They've looked

628
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 14: great on the field, and I think a lot of

629
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 14: those young guys that got experienced last year are going

630
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 14: to take a step up this year. I think that'll

631
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 14: just be a natural thing to see. So I think

632
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 14: there's a lot of excitement surrounding this team. But for

633
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 14: more than anything, every single one of them says, but

634
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 14: you know, we've got to go do it now. There's

635
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 14: a lot of good we believe it, we feel it,

636
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 14: we see it, but we just want to go do

637
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 14: it on the field.

638
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 8: Hannah Ben Shearingson talked about Kelly and what he appreciates

639
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 8: about him this week, and he didn't get real specific.

640
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 10: Oh he's great at double switches, or he.

641
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 8: Knows when to take the picture out, or he's a

642
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 8: master at picking pinch hitters. But he just talked about

643
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 8: his and the way he handles himself. I think the

644
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 8: way Charrington phrased it was just the way he goes

645
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 8: about his business.

646
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 10: How does that impress you?

647
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 13: Oh?

648
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 14: And I can't even put into words how impressive he

649
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 14: is as an individual. I think one really good story

650
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 14: that defines who he is and the character he expects

651
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 14: from those around him is kris Na Groene told me

652
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 14: that they were walking through Pirate City when he first

653
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 14: got there and said Don Kelly was talking to somebody

654
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 14: who he believed was a staff member. He said, oh,

655
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 14: who is that done?

656
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 18: Like, should I know him? Should I meet him?

657
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 14: He goes, Oh, that guy takes out our garbage. You'll

658
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 14: get to meet him.

659
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 18: He's a great guy.

660
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 14: That's who Don Kelly is. He knows the name of

661
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 14: the people in the building who take out the garbage

662
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 14: just as much as he knows and cares about the

663
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 14: people who are going to be stepping on the field

664
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 14: and supporting those around him. But I think one thing

665
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 14: Don Kelly does really well is he garners trust with everybody.

666
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 14: These guys really trust him. O'Neil Cruz is such a

667
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 14: good example of that. He was held accountable last year

668
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 14: a lot of the time for maybe the lack of

669
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 14: hustle that was displayed on the field or some mistakes

670
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 14: that were unacceptable in dohn Kelly's mind. And I talked

671
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 14: to Cruzy about that this spring and I said, you know.

672
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 18: He's someone who holds you accountable.

673
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 14: What are your thoughts with him as your manager? He said,

674
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 14: he is honored to play for a guy like John Kelly.

675
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 14: He said he helps him in the best ways possible.

676
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 14: He encourages him and this goes back to when he

677
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 14: was just a coach. So he has fostered so many

678
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 14: relationships that have gained so much thrust from these guys

679
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 14: on the field.

680
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: Don Kelly won't be taken out the garbage tonight because

681
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: Paul Skeens is on the mound, but I imagine he

682
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: will be taking him out of the game before most

683
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: of us want to see him get taken out of

684
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: the game because it's early in the season and I'll

685
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: have a tight pitch count and I get that, But

686
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: to anticipate this year, they might let him run a

687
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: little further into the game and not be so careful

688
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: with him at this point in his career.

689
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 14: I think that you're going to be careful with anybody

690
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 14: that you believe is that valuable to your program. But

691
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 14: I do think that they're going to loosen the reins

692
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 14: a bit. I mean, this guy has proven he is

693
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 14: the best pitcher in all of baseball. He has proven

694
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 14: he can go deep in games, he's built up for

695
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 14: something like that, and Paul has focused and found so

696
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 14: many more things he can do in his routine to

697
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 14: make sure his body is ready to go for October baseball.

698
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 14: I think that if this team really does want to win,

699
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 14: it's going to rely heavily on what he does in games.

700
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 14: But I think it also makes his job a lot

701
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 14: easier if the Pirates score and runs and improving some

702
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 14: offense too, or you're not going to have to rely

703
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 14: on him going nine every.

704
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 18: Time to make an impact and win some games. So

705
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 18: I think that's a big piece of this too.

706
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 2: All right, along those lines of scoring some more runs.

707
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 1: From what you saw from Connor Griffin in the spring,

708
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 1: did you think it was the right call to start

709
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: him in the minors?

710
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 14: You know, I think it's way above my pay grade

711
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 14: to say whether it's the right call for the Pirates

712
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 14: or for Connor Griffin himself.

713
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 18: But I do believe that that.

714
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 14: Is going to be a guy who he told me

715
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 14: he just wants to be playing baseball for this organization.

716
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 14: Let's not forget last year was his first pro season.

717
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 14: He exceeded expectations, but when you look at just what

718
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 14: he wasn't able to do. Maybe this springs something that

719
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 14: are being overlooked.

720
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 18: Hitting the fastball.

721
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 14: I think that's something you have to be able to

722
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 14: do at this level to be successful offensively. So I

723
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 14: think right now it's just taking some precaution, letting him

724
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 14: get in a really good rhythm, feel good about his swing,

725
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 14: so that when he comes up to the major leagues

726
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 14: he's as confident with himself as possible, because it's a

727
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 14: different game and he's going to be expected to play

728
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 14: a premier position and relied on a lot. When he

729
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 14: is up here, he's going to be in that lineup.

730
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 14: I would assume you're not going to bring him up

731
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 14: to not play him. So I think it's probably the

732
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 14: right decision for his development at this point. But I

733
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 14: hope he can help this team sooner than later. He

734
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 14: was quite impressive to watch in spring. And let me

735
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 14: just tell you that is one mature nineteen year old.

736
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: All right, we know you got to jump on the

737
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: bucks on the bus. One quick question before you go,

738
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: regarding Griffin, what stands out about that maturity? Everybody talks

739
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: about him as being like a nineteen going on thirty guy.

740
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 14: I think it's just when you speak to him you

741
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 14: don't feel like you're speaking to a nineteen year old kid.

742
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 14: He's so he knows who he is, I think is

743
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 14: the best way to put it. I think creating an

744
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 14: identity when you're young can be something that's really hard

745
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 14: to do. But he has cultivated an identity and knows

746
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 14: who he is on the field and off the field.

747
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 14: But last year was something that was hard for him.

748
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,959
Speaker 14: He did admit failure at times in terms of going

749
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 14: home and not having his family to lean on for

750
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 14: the first time in his life. But he's handled that

751
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 14: so well, and he had to go through a couple

752
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 14: of struggles in his mind personally, and the.

753
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 18: Way that he's handled all that this year.

754
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 14: And there was a lot of hype around spring. I mean,

755
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 14: look at the prospect game. Before a game, he's signing autographs.

756
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 14: Everybody wants the piece of him, they want all of

757
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 14: his attention. He's devoting that time to the fans. Then

758
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 14: he goes on the field, he's mixed up, playing shortstop

759
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 14: for the first time, makes a play, comes out doing

760
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 14: postgame media. I mean, the stuff that surrounds him he

761
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 14: handles just with so much maturity. It's impressive. It's just impressive.

762
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 14: To say the least, aside from everything he does on

763
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 14: the field. I can't explain it unless you talk to

764
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 14: him personally.

765
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 18: He's he's just wide beyond his ears.

766
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: He's like, obi wan is what you're telling me?

767
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: He's like obi wah, baseball, Go get on the bus.

768
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for making time for us this morning.

778
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: is funny how everyone talks about Connor Griffin like he's

00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: some why wise old stage like people are coming to

780

Speaker 1: him for advice.

781
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: What do you think I should do with my four
