    Spinning off Rowdy Tellez's "We don't do that out here," Jake talks about how the Pirates' offense has cooled off, the disappointing bullpen and Tellez's dead gap in the lineup.

    Bednar, Boos and Baseball

    Bednar, Boos and Baseball

    After blowing three saves in 12 games, the Pirates faithful has started to voice concern about closer David Bednar. Others have resorted to booing.
    In this episode, Jake talks why booing is a fan's right but why it might not be the best thing to do at this moment, especially for someone as tied to Pittsburgh as Bednar. Hear his thoughts in this episode of Talk the Plank.

    Connor Joe's offense is just as good as the Renegade Dog

    Connor Joe's offense is just as good as the Renegade Dog

    The Pirates have gotten significant help from Connor Joe at the top of the lineup and he could be nearing his full breakout. Also, the Pirates made two trades, added a new hot dog to their concessions menu and announced who will throw out the ceremonial first pitch in Friday's home opener.

Good except for one presenter

The podcast is well done for the most part. That being said, they need to get the girl podcaster out of there. She is a really bad speaker (clearly reading a script) and seems to lack the knowledge required to properly commentate on the team’s performance. The other people are decent speakers who demonstrate knowledge of the team.

Cutting Out

Why does the one dude-I believe it’s Jake-always get cut off before he is done talking?

Leave Personalitie’s Out Of It ?

It’s really really hard to leave personalities out of a “pod cast” such as “this one”. Two guys with zero personality unfortunately. One guy is constantly sucking on his teeth like he’s slurping up the other dude and the other dude uses profanity to cover his lack of baseball knowledge. Sounds like two fruitcakes b.s.ing at the unemployment line. Girls just end it. Start a podcast that you are familiar with. Like old MTV reality shows. Gawd!
