is Larry Kallis this is the fan of the morning show for the average Joe and on the average Joe wants to shop like a pro the average Joe and go to see your whole sale so we got some got some news from yesterday involving the penguins the first time in a little while I mean they signed an assistant coach about a month ago and now they've got the delkovich back on a two-year contract which means now they have two goalies locked down to multi-year deals which means we may not be seeing the end or a new face I guess I should say not so much the end Jari's been under a lot of scrutiny in adokovic got a camera on had a nice run there he was a fan favorite but how effective can he be now that he's on a two-year contract maybe it gives the penguin some security maybe it gives them some at least a player some confidence like when you're getting paid at least you have more confidence you know when you have job security sometimes it works for you sometimes it doesn't but in this case they're giving an adokovic it's the opportunity to to make a healthy amount of money over two years and so now you really have your two goalies right now that's that's what that seems like so are you welcome to call in for one two nine two nine three seven zero I may touch on that a little bit later as well when focused more on the pirates this morning because trade rumors are kind of heating up not so much confirmed by the team or by anybody around the team but there's a reason why I'm starting to get excited as the trade deadline approaches we're about a month away from that a little over a month I'd say so it's really interesting there's something that I'm very interested in that I want to share with you but if you want to talk about an adokovic getting signed getting a two-year deal you're welcome to call on about that and again I might touch on that a little bit later if I have some time but for the most part pirates this morning I want to open with the pirates because again I'm excited and I'm excited for a specific reason and I've been I was kind of excited before but there was something that just happened to me personally yesterday that made me just absolutely thrilled you know with conversations surrounding the team just for perspective on the wild card standings to right now it's a very interesting national league this year we've went over that before one team of the three wild card teams is under 500 that's the Padres who were 39 and 40 now this is starting to balance out a little bit we're starting to see that the teams that are qualifying for the playoffs are getting closer and closer to 500 then they were about a week or two ago there were really slanted records now now it's close like the Padres are or win from being back to 500 they're 39 and 40 the Cardinals right now are at 500 so it's Braves Cardinals Padres and I guess you count the Diamondbacks as well in there but they're below the line right now just based on their winning percentage being one one thousandth below the Padres but the Pirates two wins back from being considered 500 a half game out with the Washington Nationals they're both 36 and 38 and then the Cubs Mets Giants or excuse me Cubs and Mets one game out Giants and Reds one and a half games out the Rockies and Marlins deep out of it the only two teams that are not close but every other team in the national league is fighting for that third wild card spot so much so that all the two teams are within two games of a wild card spot so I'm excited for the Pirates because they I mean they've hung around enough and I've been frustrated with losses I've wanted them to get sweeps I've wanted them to go on a run but just putting it into a general perspective they're in it and they're there and they've hung around longer than we've seen them hanging around over the last five years five seasons six seasons they're here they're hanging around they've got a chance it's June and they've got a shot what specifically makes me excited though about this is that you know Crowley and Dorne when they were doing the morning show they found some national commentators who had an opinion on the Pirates you know Morgan so I see those I play those clips I cut some of their opinions you know for audio so that they can be played over the air not really always just fully grasping like okay it's cool these guys are talking about the Pirates that's nice now it's centered my social media feed where I'm seeing these commentators now talk about the Pirates and even some some online channels that I watch or that I you know get entertained by are talking about the Pirates they're talking about the Pirates realistically acquiring certain guys one I saw yesterday in particular that got my attention and made me really really happy was that there were there were a couple of different channels or even like those little you know those little TikToks you scroll through like I'm going through there and I'm seeing like there are these clips there are these cuts of people making arguments for the Pirates to acquire players Luis Robert from the White Sox was the specific player I saw yesterday from from two different channels two different accounts where there were people talking about this is what the Pirates need to do the Pirates were kind of a dark horse on Luis Robert but now he would really he would really accentuate their lineup he would really complement their lineup he may give them a more complete outfield and that just makes me excited the Pirates are not they're not just pushed down to the bottom there are people out there now there are national people out there now general baseball fans out there and enthusiasts of the game they're talking about what the Pirates could realistically add to this roster to strengthen it and separate from the pack and it seems like I mean the Pirates have had you know in recent years just a reputation of struggling and not winning and it's almost like a lot of these national fans as well these national accounts they want the Pirates to win it's really it's not fun when a team just gets buried out of nowhere when the Pirates are doing well not only is Pittsburgh right now I think you know carrying a lot about it and and and really showing fandom but really it's it seems like it's many baseball fans out there just general baseball fans who want to see the Pirates do well Paul Skeens might be helping a lot with that as well there's a trickle effect from the amount of notoriety he's received you know when he was in college and now that he's dominated the minors and he's been pretty much dominating the majors as well maybe there's a lot of pirate fans just exist out there now because Paul Skeens is on the roster and he's on the team either way though there are people that care about the Pirates it's tremendous it's thrilling and it makes me happy and I mean I'm looking through it I'm seeing opinions about the Pirates I have not really seen that you know in a while in a long time in years five to six years so it's awesome to see I'm glad that I'm glad that there are people out there general baseball fans that may want to see the Pirates win just because it feels like a feel good story I know that many of you out there who've been pirate fans for a long time don't feel like it's a feel good story you've been through a lot you've felt the the lows of the losing that's just what makes this year so much more sweet is that you've got a pitching staff that I now fully believe can bowl through at least one round of the playoffs won three game series I mean how many rubber matches of the Pirates played in this year how many series wins do they have they have won a good bit of series they actually weren't really running rubber matches there so scratch that point a hub for a little while but they're not losing series consistently they had one bad losing streak to start May but now that's gone that's not there anymore they've kind of been balanced they've lost some series but they haven't really been swept they've won a fair share of series too and they've won enough to stay in it it's excitement there and I'm glad capitalized on this now so here here's what I want here's what I want because now this kind of just pivots to another point the Pirates are in conversations for trades with certain players or not necessarily rumors trade rumors out there but there there are commentators out there there are national people giving their opinions there are baseball fans out there we're on social media who are giving their opinions that the pirates should acquire and add certain players to distinguish themselves from everybody else the Pirates have loaded up on prospects these last few seasons and really there's a deep minor league system for them right now it seems there's a lot of big names out there that could be used as some collateral as some as some leverage with other teams the big problem I think that exists out there right now is that the Pirates may have whether it's Charington or Bob Nutting hesitant a little bit whatever's going on what's stopping them from adding guys I have a theory and this has been a theory that's been thrown out there but I have a theory that maybe they're afraid of adding people because of the Chris Archer trade a few years ago so what I want to happen this morning that if you're listening whether you're on X and you want to communicate that way through written form whether you want to give me a call for one two nine two eight nine three seven zero if the pirates make an addition and it doesn't work out or it works similarly to how Chris Archer performed I just tell me are you gonna be mad at the pirates four one two nine two nine three seven zero and on X at Kalos underscore three three that CA LLAS underscore three three now I'm hoping that the reigning answers will be no because my specific opinion on this but I want the pirates to hear it as well while we have this medium to be able to communicate I want to hear people's opinions on this and I truly want the opinion as well do you value developing those prospects and waiting to use them rather than mortgaging a few of them for a guy that could get you through the playoffs or significantly bolster your line up to give you a better chance of getting through the playoffs and baseball it's in terms of games in a series it's three five seven seven pirates got the pitchers to get through three and five in my opinion at this point just added offense and Robert good defender as well let let me know what you think though are you gonna be upset if the pirates were to hypothetically trade for Luis Robert and he doesn't end up hitting well or he struggles mightily he doesn't live up to what you expected him to be you're gonna be upset my answer would be no and I would encourage your answer to be no as well because you can't get anywhere unless you take those risks and guys like Robert or at first base guys like Vlad Guerrero Jr. Ryan McMahon another first baseman or guys that could play first base that are available could be worth it and really could bolster this team and I think that's what fans are thinking right now too that's certainly what I'm thinking is that maybe there's not a bad side to this there's only upside no that's not real and you know it's baseball and they could struggle and and things could happen but I want to believe in the highest upside here I want to be optimistic I think many of us want to be optimistic so call me let me know talk to me on X let me know would you be upset with the pirates if they made a trade it didn't work out and I genuinely want to know too my answer is is no I'm not going to be upset I'm gonna appreciate that they tried because I think that Chris Archer trade to that's the last big addition that they've made at the deadline it's been it's been years since I mean that was the 2018 or in 2024 now so let me know what you think four one two nine two eight nine three seven zero and on X at calis underscore three three and if you would be upset if you feel like the future is worth holding on to and these players are gonna develop and be worth more than you could get on a return from another team for a rental or maybe a guy that's got a high expense a high and expensive contract I mean let me know all right so let's get some calls four one two nine two eight nine three seven zero I'll take a few now and then a few after this break that's coming up in a few minutes but I will start with this caller good morning what's your name good morning Nick nice talking to you again I think the pirates should absolutely bring in a player and not worry about Chris Archer trade Chris Archer trade was a bad trade to begin with because he was on a downhill climb six years ago and they gave up too much to get him and even Tampa Bay was laughing at the trade at the time and it was terrible I hated it when they did it now is the time that you trade because you need to add something to get that offense go a little bit better and make a run at a world series because basically you're not remembered for being second third or fourth you're remembered for winning the World Series so let me ask you let me ask you this one real quick let me let me cut job for just a second if they make a train for Robert or somebody and it doesn't work out you're not going to call me in a month or two and say that was terrible why they try to do that right just making sure no absolutely not because now is the time to do it if you're going to make it if you're going to do it there's a time there's always a time in a place to do something and now is the time to buy and get rid of your prospects and bring somebody in understood thank you for the call appreciate it 4 1 2 9 2 8 9 3 7 0 same question to all of you out there would you be upset if the pirates made an acquisition and ended up not working out would you appreciate them more for taking the risk or you're still going to be upset that they mortgage the future a bit got this color on the line now good morning what's your name hello hello all right you're on the air what's your name name is Mark all right Mark what's on your mind so I was thinking about this as the Robert and definitely be on the table also I remember the last playoff run grab really better and pitcher that had a little edge to them well there's one in the Mexican league pitching right now and Trevor Bauer it's kind of similar to AJ Burnett so I'm not grabbed somebody like him you don't have to give up anything it's on the cheap okay well let me let me ask you this then mark just just to clarify if the pirates went out and signed Trevor Bauer and he didn't work out with the team are you gonna call me in a month or two and be upset with the pirates for taking a risk on that guy absolutely not because he's on the cheap if it works out they're gonna look like geniuses all right Mark thanks for the call appreciate your opinion and you can give your opinion as well four one two nine two eight nine three seven zero and on X at callus underscore three three that CA LLAS underscore three three that's what we're talking about this morning that's the big question now that I'm addressing so if you want to call and give your opinion you're welcome to phone lines are open my Twitter is being seen by me right now I'm looking at comments I'm looking at what you think are you gonna be upset with the pirates if they take a risk on a guy and that guy ends up not working out I think it's a fair question and I want to hear from you guys Steve on Twitter callus no I want to see them make an attempt and not just another mediocre player to show the fans and players you want to win now and he's crossing his fingers for Luis Robert okay so so far that's three I got three guys who've called in and said no I'm not gonna be upset in a month or two if they make an acquisition that doesn't work out if they acquire a guy who is intended for them to push to win now and it doesn't work out four one two nine two eight nine three seven zero again that's the phone number and one more time my ex-account it's at callus underscore three three that's C-A-L-L-A-S underscore three three so talk to me give me a call talk to me on X I got to take a break I'll be back I'll take more of your calls I'll read more of your posts I'm coming up next on the question would you be upset if they made an acquisition mortgage the future a bit in that acquisition to win

four one two nine two eight nine three seven zero that's how you can talk to me I'm asking would you be upset if the pirates made a risk took a risk to make an addition to the team and that addition didn't work out kind of like Chris Archer I'm just trying to see where fans are it seems like there's a lot of calling for the pirates to take a risk it's been a little while that Chris Archer trades one of the last trades that they made where they tried to add at the deadline to make themselves better and I think that it's an important conversation to have right now because I think that maybe maybe there's some hesitancy with the team maybe they don't want to take that risk mortgage the future because they don't want to acquire a guy that doesn't work out but I just want to see what fans think as well out there you as a fan right now would you be upset if they acquired a guy and that person ended up not really working out not performing well not performing up to the standards that you had for for this particular player four one two nine two eight nine three seven zero let's take this caller on the line right now good morning what your name is Jake in the truck okay Jake what's what's your answer to this question I would not be mad if the pirates added a player but only but I would rather it be an outfielder than a first base and which might be controversial because I mean any addition though that's that's putting hairs I don't mind about that outfielder they need one a first base when they need one if anybody that you wouldn't be upset if they acquired anybody I would not be upset if they acquired anybody because every prospect we have is that they're most valuable to the team right now because we have three pitchers in their prime very good Jake thanks to the call appreciate it so it's 4-0 right now four guys have called me up and said and I went on on X said nope we wouldn't be upset John X posts in tweeting saying tweeting was so much easier John tweets in callous the real question is will you be upset with the pirates a month from now when they haven't made a move at all well that's why we're kind of talking about this I'm trying to persuade the pirates if anybody in that organizations listening or or you know cares about 5 a.m. radio you know I just want to get a perspective from fans like would you be upset in that way and I get what you're asking there John but no I'm hoping that they do and I'm persuading them to make one because I just want to get the general sense from fans like fans would not be upset and that's pretty much the whole point so that one's kind of a neutral take there I'm not gonna count that toward either one but we have four four right now that said no we wouldn't be upset and we'll take this caller on the line now wants to give a give an opinion so what's your name my necklace Terry how are you good Terry you got about 30 seconds okay just give me your short answer yes or no yeah definitely I'll be upset if they don't make a move because we're just not cutting out with the wind ski and Davis they're just they're just not doing the job right now if they if they make a move though and that player doesn't end up performing to standard or your expectations are you gonna be upset with the fire at all not at all so you want them to take the risk Terry is that right right they have in me they got to all right hey thanks for the call appreciate it I thank you to everybody that called that's five though five said no we wouldn't be upset if they made a trade and it didn't work out zero said that they would be upset so that's awesome to hear thank you for expressing your opinions and hopefully the pirates listen and understand and maybe you're influenced by that conversation but it's nice to see the fans to wouldn't be upset about that it's nice to see that that fans are embracing taking a risk it's always it's always good to see and good to hear America's favorite place to watch football
