  • Diamondbacks and Rangers AND Pirates!(?)

    I wanted to like this podcast… But the discussion trying to link these three teams together was so stretched and thin. My favorite line was “there’s nothing stopping the Pirates from being as good as these teams”. Well, there is and it’s Bob Nutting. I think I’ll spend my time elsewhere outside this house of mirrors.

  • Mitch Better than Kenny?

    I’m sorry, just this take alone immediately disqualifies this pod as a trustworthy source of Steelers takes. The team was immediately better when Kenny came in for Mitch and that was with KP taking zero 1st team reps last year. If you’re looking for good content on Steelers look elsewhere

  • Hard to listen to, literally

    I love the Steelers and want to like this podcast, but it is weak. The host struggles to talk in a coherent manner, his interview skills are severely lacking and they play the intro music too much. The main issue, though, is that they can’t seem to get the sound levels right. Last episode, Chris Carter was barely audible, but Brian Batko was loud.
