Gary Morgan Monday's; Recapping A Good Week of Pirates Baseball; Team Has Plenty of Control; 75 Wins an Attainable Goal?
Welcome back to Locked On Pirates!
In a new segment, host Ethan Smith is joined by Gary Morgan of DK Pittsburgh Sports and Bucs in the Basement to discuss what was a very good week and road trip for the Pittsburgh Pirates as they return home tomorrow with a .500 record, which has turned some eyes in the fanbase.
Also, Gary and Ethan discuss how tons of players on the roster are under arbitration control for some time which will clearly benefit the front office in building a contender in the years to come.
Finally, the Pirates are 11-11, and yes it is early, but with a strong bullpen and consistent offense, can the Buccos get to 70-75 wins this season and take a major step in the rebuild? All that and more on today's episode of Locked On Pirates.

Customer Reviews
Good show
It does not feature any “ Yinz or Aht “but still good.
Terrible
The host reads news articles without attribution and presents them as his own thoughts. In the February 24th show, the host’s “takeaways” from a spring training game were taken directly from a Sports Illustrated article, word-for-word, including calling a pitcher “super hot and super cold” and describing a hit as a “flick of the wrist.” This plagiarism should be taken down. Beyond the plagiarism, the host just reads from a script each show without adding any of his own insight. Avoid.
Best on the Pirates
I have gotten to the point that I hardly listen to the radio anymore. Living in Columbus, there is only so much Ohio State I can take, particularly since I'm not a native to the area. I had seen on Bucs Dugout that this podcast was being publish, so I gave it a shot. Very nicely done.
While Jason doesn't seem to be updating his end much currently, the River Blast section, once they hit their stride, does quite well. It's a nice mix of the sabermetrics, an explanation of the same, and old school "gut calls," with good writing evident that makes me look forward to each publication. You may not agree with every statement--though, I have, for the most part--but they are not supporting their arguments by going, "c'mon! I mean, he's..." or any other worthless statement. It's backed up by numbers and well thought out. Well worth the time.
