  • Great Show

    I’m a huge Pirate fan currently living in Michigan. Love tuning into this podcast for daily Bucco coverage. You guys have been my go-to during walks this past winter. Nothing better than it being 9 degrees along with a blizzard and tuning in as you guys report from Bradenton lol

  • Hitting a HR with the team?!?

    Glad to have found your pod… as a lifelong Pirate fan that was fortunate enough to be a little Bucco when they won in 79… it has been a struggle for most of the years since!!! You all bring a refreshing look to a team that needs quite a bit of squinting to see the positives. Keep up the great work and maybe just maybe we will be playing some games that count in October soon!!! Let’s go Bucs!!!

Found a couple podcasts that cover the Pirates and this is the one I like the most. Entertaining and informative coverage. They talk about Baseball like regular people unlike certain loud mouth, irritating radio hosts who may or may not be a “super genius”. Keep up the great work fellas. The only criticism I have is the opening musi... more
