All great baseball teams have amazing minor league systems where development and preparation for the show are the focus. The OSP is thrilled to have Indianapolis Indians broadcaster, Jack McMullen joining us on this episode. The Indians are the Pittsburgh Pirates AAA affiliate. We are gonna discuss with Jack who’s in the pipeline for the Pirates, who is the next “big thing” to join the varsity roster, will Jack Suwinski and Henry Davis get fixed and is there a legit 1st baseman in Indianapolis. Crack a cold one open and start shelling peanuts. It’s time to play ball!

Nothing says Pittsburgh Steelers than someone who is able to share their in depth insights from the Steel City itself than Smitty from the Around the 412 podcast. There is no downtime in the NFL so we will talk with Smitty about free agency thus far, the draft and rookie camp, OTA's and of course the pending summer camp to officially kick things off for the 2024 season, in my opinion. Grab an Iron City and a Chipped Ham sandwich and listen as we pick Smitty's brain for the latest on the Stillers.

Main Segment: 
OC Arthur Smith is in charge with a new offensive:
• What are your thoughts on what you’ve seen so far in camp/OTA’s?
• YEA OR NAY?? 
2) Russ was tagged as QB1: has Russ looked like he’s got a grasp on the offense?
3) Is Fields getting many reps/looks with 1st team? 
• Do he and Russ communicate a lot on schemes or different reads?
4) Khan did a great job in this year’s draft:  What’s the progression of Fautanu been like on the O line?
5) Roman Wilson, he’s always been applauded for his route running, in camp as he been more of a slot or Wr2: Does he remind you of Heinz Ward? (Not flashy/not huge size but he’s tough, blocks well, and isn’t afraid of contact.)
6) Payton Wilson NC State LB: 
• I’m hearing good things so far. 
• Is he as good as advertised: 6’3, 4.4 speed?
7) Cam Heyward: No doubt a leader on the team, Water Payton man of the year winner, He’s absent in OTA’s, lots of time left, but from what you’re hearing, will an extension get done?
8) With Watt/Heyward/Queen/Minkah you’ve technically got ALL PROS on each level: Do you think the Steelers can realistically have a TOP 5-6 ranked defense this season?
9) Schedule is out, we all know Steelers got it rough, Extremely Tough: right now, today, what is your prediction for Steelers 2024 season record?
10) What games of the Steelers, in particular, are you looking forward too and why?
• What are 2-3 OTHER NFL games, in general, are you interested in seeing this upcoming season?
11) Steelers fans are excited and ready for this upcoming season: Do you believe we have good reason to be so optimistic or are we all just being “Homers” about our Steelers?
12) What 1-2 UNDRAFTED FREE AGENTS that have sort of opened a few eyes in OTA’s?
13) Great draft made moves in free agency: If the Steelers/ Tomlin DON’T GET A PLAYOFF WIN THIS YEAR, is the season a disappointment?
14) Has there been a player or 2 that HAS NOT had a particularly good showing so far “draft pick/ veteran” or “free agent”?

As we work towards summer at a fast and furious pace our show finds itself at a crossroads of sports. Playoff basketball and hockey are in full swing, baseball has reached the quarter point and we are well underway with the golf majors and football mini camps. Sometimes I think I am swimming with all the stuff I have to preoccupy myself from the craziness of the real world. 
Tonight's episode is going to talk about who has been standing out and who has been disappointing in these NBA and NHL playoffs. We are going to put together a list of some of the current best club swingers, baseball’s contenders and pretenders as well as who has stood out in some football mini camps. As always we love your input and thoughts to see if you agree or think we are whack!
