The Joe Starkey Show 4-17-2024

Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: The Penguins season is over after Washington and Detroit both won last night. Their run as a Stanley Cup contender in this era is over. Starkey wouldn't mind seeing multiple staff chances to Mike Sullivan's group and Sullivan possibly be gone too. If the Penguins are very bad, fans could disappear quickly. This was entertaining, but that's all the Penguins have become. The Penguins and Warriors are both done winning championships. Golden State said they need Klay Thompson.. he went 0-10. It's a scary proposition to tear it down. Would Mike Sullivan feel like he's bailing on Sid if he left? Detroit and Washington both won and eliminated the Penguins from playoff chances. The Pirates took Jared Jones out too early. Jeff Patton of the Baseball Card Castle joined the show and said Andrew McCutchen's 300th home run ball would sell for about $5k.

The Penguins will miss the playoffs for the second consecutive season

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise: Pirates pre and post host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Starkey's brain is spinning around the idea that Jared Jones had to come out of the game after 59 pitches. Dan is ok with protecting pitchers, especially because pitchers with the stuff and makeup of Jared Jones can blow up and have an arm injury. Dan thinks it was disappointing and the most frustrated he's been hosting the show. There's a lack of touch and feel with baseball and calling audibles at the line of scrimmage. Things change. It's a frustrated clubhouse from what occurred. Dan is for innings limits and pitch counts, but there has to be nuance with it.Big name starting pitchers are getting hurt and having Tommy John surgery much more than in previous generations. Some pitchers blame the pitch clock for speeding up pitches.
