Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk joined the show. Bailey Falter has been huge for the Pirates this season and the Pirates analytical view of him is proving right. When the pitching was doing well, the hitting wasn't, and vice versa. The bullpen has also been shaky. The Pirates have elements to win a good amount of baseball games. Paul Skenes should be here in mid-May. Nick Gonzales has been great and Oneil Cruz started to find his swing against Milwaukee.

The Joe Starkey Show

Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk, Pirates talk

Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

(5-6 The Whole Joe Starkey Show with Joe, Paul Zeise, and Bob Pompeani)

Joe has a plan in place to call in to Bob's show on Saturday morning and he has no idea when he will enact said plan, but it is in motion. Moving along to Paul Skenes possibly making his MLB debut Friday. Will it happen? Did Livvy Dunne spoil the news with her social media post? Is Paul Skenes the prospect with the biggest hype around his debut in Pittsburgh sports? 

What in the world is a "Mackey Planner"? The Miami Marlins traded Luis Arraez to the San Diego Padres. Why couldn't the Pirates have made that deal? Arraez, a two time batting champion, was traded for a few prospects. Would you have done the same deal?

Is there actually tension between Mike Sullivan and Kyle Dubas? Josh Yohe said absolutely not even though other reports say there is. The panel is split on whether or not there is tension between the coach and general manager. The Todd Reirden firing seemed to be the reason for the reported rift. Was firing Reirden the right call?  

The Tom Brady roast on Netflix last night was funny at times. Was there a line that should not have been crossed? Is there a thing as too much swearing in comedy? We took a few phone calls about the Penguins. 

A Bob Pompeani Showdown! Is Lebron James a 'coach killer'? Looking at the NBA and NHL playoff pictures after the first round. 

Reviewing some of the jokes from the Tom Brady roast. Snoop Dogg bought a Bowl Game and renamed it "The Gin and Juice Bowl". The NFL Schedule release may be delayed. Who do you think the Steelers will open with? Joe says Rod Woodson is a top ten NFL player of all time after watching the documentary on him. 

Reviewing more of the Brady Roast.

The show goes off the rails. As per usual. Is there tension between the guys? We get Bob's take on Najee Harris not getting his option picked up. Joe asks the guys to name the best baseball players in their opinion. Bob and Joe say Shohei Ohtani and Paul says Barry Bonds. A quick Texts in the City.
