Bob Pompeani

14 at-bats later, here he is, and it's going to be a lot to talk about.

How do you feel about that?

Call us at 412-928-9370.

We'll try to get Jason Mackey on here.

All right, welcome back.

It's the Pomp and Joe Show.

And breaking news, if you hadn't heard it, you will, and you'll be very happy.

Connor Griffin's debut will be tomorrow, opening day against the Baltimore Orioles.

It took just 14 at-bats or so, and the Pirates have decided that's it.

He will be up.

I know we have a lot of people who want to talk about it.

And just hang on if you're on the line to 412-928-9370.

But we want to bring on the man who broke the story, Jason Mackey, Pirates insider.

You hear him a lot on the fan here.

And Jason, this is awesome to see.

I think based on the fact that he started in AAA, a lot of people didn't think this was going to happen so quickly.

Why did it happen so quickly?

And I think they instantly become a better team in the field and on the bench, too, because they can do some different things over there on the left side.

So...

I was waiting for a second part of your tweet about whether or not it would be a contract extension or at least a long term.
