Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Potential Bullpen Reinforcements
Q: Where would you start calling up a reliever if you had to make a move today?
The discussion centers on options like Mike Clevenger, Thomas Harrington, and Wilbur D'Otel, with many weighing MLB experience, 40-man roster status, and potential DFA candidates to open a roster spot.
Mailbag: What's the plan with pitch counts?
Q: Who makes the decisions on pitch counts for the Pirates, and how is that process described?
It's described as a group decision involving the pitching staff and front office, reviewing individual plans and staying aligned despite different personalities, with an emphasis on balancing short-term competitiveness and long-term durability.
Skenes' WBC Gem, Henry Davis, and high-leverage bullpen options
Q: If Dennis Santana isn't the closer, who could take on that role and how would bullpen roles shift midseason?
Gregory Soto is a top internal option with closer experience; others like Mattson could contribute in high-leverage spots with Santana potentially handling eighth or closing duties depending on health and matchup.
Skenes' WBC Gem, Henry Davis, and high-leverage bullpen options
Q: Should we be concerned about Henry Davis since he hasn't recorded a hit in spring training with a new batting stance?
Davis is still valuable defensively and could hit closer to league average with time; spring training stats don't define him, and a path to offense could emerge as he settles in.
Skenes' WBC Gem, Henry Davis, and high-leverage bullpen options
Q: Josh, what's the dynamic like when one of your boys on the team gets traded relative to Skenes and Jared Jones?
It's mostly business, but relationships carry over; guys understand trades happen and will stay connected via highlights and messages, with room still existing to break bread after games.
