Craig takes time to discuss the hitting and pitching philosophies of the Pirates-as well as how they are disseminated throughout the system-before diving into the inexact science of protecting pitchers from injury-or at least how the Pirates brass approaches things-before finishing up with the Top 5 Pirates Prospect Performers over the past week or so.

Craig and Chris discuss the possible reasons for the slide the Pirates have been on during the past week, a potentially impending decision concerning Henry Davis, some players that could defy the platoon lineup decisions to help jumpstart the offense, and the Jared Jones Pitch Count Narrative.

Towards the end of the show they also address how the team could address the current void in the starting rotation brought on by Marco Gonzales’ stint on the IL.
