The Joe Starkey Show 4-18-2024

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: This is a bad place to be for baseball when Jared Jones has one of the best starts of anyone this season and only goes 5 innings. Starkey still can't get over it. Callers weigh in on the Pirates struggles and striking out looking way too many times. Plus, Jared Jones was removed after 59 pitches and one hit allowed. They're overthinking it. They got off to a good start, but was it the Marlins and Nationals? The decision making is questionable and makes us scratch our heads.

Are the Pirates and MLB teams too careful with pitchers?

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: More calls on the Pirates and a concerted effort in baseball to focus on pitch counts and preserving arms. Nick Farabaugh of Steelers Now joined the show. Graham Barton of Duke could be an option for the Steelers in the first round. Linemen have to be favored early and often for the Steelers. If the Steelers want to upgrade at tackle, it has to be in the first round because they'll all be gone by then. There are three centers who can be day 1 starters. Dante Jackson is an undersized guy at corner and it seems like they're looking at slot corners.
