Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
All right, Bob. We are back at 84 Lumber's brand new Anderson Windows and Doors showroom in Mount Lebanon. Swing in today, say hello, and enter to win $5,000 toward a Windows and Doors purchase at the showroom right here. A gigantic showroom, 8,000 square feet. It's like you can come in and play with all the toys in here. It's like a giant toy room for people who love this stuff.
And a lot of people are looking forward to doing that this time of the year when you're trying to assess your house and There's always a need for something if you're in it for a long time.
So don't underestimate the importance of brand new windows or what it could be, not just from an aesthetic point of view, but also from, you know, just keeping everything under control, keeping all the cold air out in the wintertime. It does a great thing.
Well, whenever I do a remote like this, Bob, a remote being an on-site location, I think of my old friend, Ron Cook. And when I think of Ron Cook, I think of him drinking in Florida. Let's do a six-pack, Jolie, in honor of Ron. There's number one. Bob, last night, or yesterday, I should say, in the daytime, the Pirates are locked in a pitching duel. Mitch Keller is at 75 pitches.
Apparently, for some reason, early in the season, he's locked into 85 pitches, a hard count yesterday, Kelly said. So he comes out of the game, Justin Lawrence gets lit up like Malzi at a craft beer house, and the next thing you know, it's 8-2, and they lose. Kelly said... of Keller, he was nearing his pitch limit coming off his first start on regular rest.
Really felt really good about the pocket that Lawrence was coming into. That's two reallys, Bob. It didn't work out great, Kelly said, but Lawrence has been so good for us. That's actually a good point. He's been dominant for us a lot of times out of the back end of the pen. You know, my thought on that is let him at least come out and pitch the next inning.
If his hard count is 85, then let him get to 85. That's 10 more pitches. I don't know that he couldn't get out of an inning. And if he gets through two batters, I mean, come on. You can't get to 88.
Yeah, 75 pitches for a player like him. He's been around. He's one of the guys who you count on to give innings. And he had a shutout going in a very tight game. It was scoreless into that seventh inning. I would have kept him in there and not just saying it now after it didn't work, but at the time I'm wondering. That seems to be a little soon.
I realize we're in a different time when it comes to pitchers, how long they go. You seldom see complete games anymore, but Mitch Keller has been one of those guys who has been good about going deeper into games. To me, just let him go. If he gets into trouble, bring in Lawrence if that's the case. I understand why those guys do it, but yesterday I would have kept him rolling.

Chapter 2: Why was Mitch Keller pulled at 75 pitches?
But Dan Mews has been terrific, and whatever he's selling, they're buying.
I'll take it one step further, Bob, if we really want to talk about if Mews means Dubas, then Dubas means Fenway Sports Group. They went out and got the right guy and gave him the freedom, free reign, to reshape the organization to his liking. I think the number one reason the Penguins are where they are and why this season has happened is Fenway Sports Group. They did the right thing.
They've taken a lot of heat, and there's some things I don't like about them either, but they hired Kyle Dubas. They basically, it looks like, secured the future of the Penguins organization. And I don't even know who to credit there. Tom Werner, I guess.
John Henry, whoever does it over there. Yeah, I think that's an excellent point. And the first couple of years, he was under some scrutiny because he gave guys big contracts. One of them still here in Ryan Graves. We never talk to him, but he's pulling in some nice money. You know, he's probably trying to figure out a way to move past that as he did with Tristan Jari.
But yeah, I mean, Kyle Dubas has been terrific at what he's done. I still think the move to get rid of Jari and his salary and bring in what he got, that may be the best one of all.
Next. Thank you, Jolie. Alex Ovechkin.
Can we ever have a wine pour? We could.
Maybe later in the show. You can get a wine pour. Yeah, try a wine pour, Joel.
Or maybe shake it up, you know, get a martini shaker and give us that sound, Joel.

Chapter 3: What scenarios could lead the Penguins to clinch a playoff spot?
Have you had a shot of it since then? One time. For what occasion? I forget. It was a golf event, and somebody was, I don't know, they must have been having too much because he was buying shots of Louis XIII. And as soon as I heard it, I said, okay, please, I'll take one. I was trying to get Ben Roethlisberger. I did his podcast in his basement the one time, and he had it up there. He did?
I think so, yeah. And I was looking at it, hoping he would crack it, but he didn't.
My menu, Bob, would probably be, I can't get that fancy. I don't even know the names of the stuff you put on there.
Tomahawk steak. Do you like that?
I like steak. What's a tomahawk steak?
It's one of the best steaks you can get.
I'll just take a nice filet. Okay. They have that too. Maybe some Arby's curly Q fries. Those are unbelievable, aren't they, Bob?
I love them.
Donnie was talking about those the other day. Arby's curly Q fries, probably a Buster Bar for dessert. From Dairy Queen? You like those, Bob?
