Bob Pompiani

His spring training number, I think, was 29.

But he was 30 for his first start.

I remember spring training, he was something different.

Pedro wore a 17 throughout 2010, and then it changed to 24.

That's a good correction by Harry, and I have made a mistake five minutes into the show, and for that I apologize.

It's not a day for cynicism, folks.

There's a certain radio host in town that told you this would never happen.

that the Pirates would never spend money, that they don't try to win.

And look, we can complain about the past or we can turn our eyes slowly upward and forward.

And we can think about a new Pirates generation, Dickerson.

Everybody shout, let's go Bucs.

I don't care why they had him start in Indianapolis for five games.

That's been a topic of conversation on social media.

Why'd they do this?

That can't be for baseball reasons.

I don't give a rat's ass.

He's up here now, and they've paid him.

That's what matters.

Well, real quick, my theory is that they started him down there because they wanted him to have his debut here.

Right.
