The Pittsburgh Pirates are 11-8 as they head into a weekend series back at PNC Park against the Boston Red Sox. The bats have gone silent over their last stretch with Ke'Bryan Hayes dealing with some back tightness and nobody picking up the slack. Everyone seems to be trending in the wrong direction at the moment, searching for answers as to how to get back on track. While the starting pitching continues to provide solid start after solid start, the same can't be said about the bullpen either. W...
Smitty and Tyler discuss the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Penguins The team missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season despite still getting surplus on the contracts of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and Erik Karlsson. Mike Sullivan's extension is just about to kick in but there are several questions that need answers about he and the entire coaching staff. Will Tristan Jarry be back? What about Rickard Rakell? What can they do with Ryan Graves contract? Let's discuss!...
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made several splash moves this offseason by acquiring the likes of Russell Wilson, Patrick Queen and Justin Fields. That said, they have several boxes unchecked as the NFL Draft draws near. Is Nate Herbig really an option at center, depending on how the draft plays out? What is the plan at slot corner and wide receiver? Do they plan to upgrade upon Dan Moore Jr. or wait another year? All this and more on today's Around the 412 Steelers Show!

The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to scratch and claw as the NHL Playoffs draw near. Just one point out of a playoff spot with 4 games to go, they've at least made things interesting. They also have games against the teams they are chasing in the standings. Michael Bunting continues to fit like a glove. Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are leading the charge. Alex Nedeljkovic has steadied things in net. This has all led to them going 6-1-3 in their last 10 games to put themselves in a decent spot....
The Pittsburgh Pirates are off to a 9-3 start through theearly portions of the 2024 MLB season. The team is getting contributions up and down the lineup and the pitching both from the rotation and bullpen have exceeded expectations early on. While they've won 9 out of their 12 games, it hasn't all been sunshine and rainbows. Closer David Bednar has struggled out of the gate, having blown 3 save oppurtunities already. Having missed extended time due to a lat issue in Spring Training, is an IL sti...
The Pittsburgh Penguins kept their playoff hopes alive on Thursday by winning their third consecutive game, securing 2 points in Washington over the Capitals. Alex Nedeljkovic was fantastic yet again, as he continues to show why he should start in place of Tristan Jarry. Michael Bunting continues to provide an element the team didn't have prior to his acquisition and fit in like a glove. Very much in the thick of the playoff mix, but with a tough schedule ahead, we discuss how we got to this poi...
The Pittsburgh Pirates are off to a 5-1 start through the first week of the MLB season. Manager Derek Shelton has pushed a lot of the right buttons, the lineup has come through time and time again and they always seem to have an answer. The bullpen depth has been tested but has been as good as advertised. Jared Jones had a stellar MLB debut and looks to carry that over into his second start, which will be the team's Home Opener. Connor Joe, Michael A. Taylor, Bryan Reynolds, Ke'Bryan Hayes and O...
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth joins Smitty and Tyler on this week's episode. They get into all the changes within the organization including revamping the QB room by bringing in Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Pat talks about off-season work he's done with Wilson and other teammates including Calvin Austin III and Van Jefferson. He also discusses the work he's putting in to improve as blocker in anticipation of his role in Arthur Smith's offense. He also touches on his upcoming contrac...
The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to trade wins and losses as we near the end of the regular season. While the team isn't quite yet dead, they might as well be. So, what are we watching for at this juncture? Sidney Crosby is on that very short list. He is just 5 points away from 82 on the season and clinching his 19th point per game season, which would tie Wayne Gretzky for the league record. Recently recalled Sam Poulin is getting another shot and maybe the final look that he will get. Michael B...
The Pittsburgh Steelers have reshaped their wide receiver room following the Diontae Johnson trade. Quez Watkins and Van Jefferson have been added to the mix and Cordarelle Patterson may play a role there, but there are still very much questions about the top of the depth chart. Is the team done adding until the NFL Draft? Which positions should we be looking at early in the draft? Why hasn't the team picked up Najee Harris' fifth-year option yet? All this and more on today's Around the 412 Stee...

MLB Opening Day is two weeks away. As the season draws near and we look ahead to how things are shaping up, one person has stood above all (literally) at Pirates Spring Training. Oneil Cruz has been front and center this Spring as he comes back from a gruesome ankle injury that took away most of his 2023 season. He says he feels 200% and the results would agree with him. Just how high is the ceiling for him in 2024? We then play an over/under game including the likes of Jack Suwinski, Paul Skene...
The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to bottom out following the NHL Trade Deadline. When things look like they can't get any worse, they somehow do. The team is unable to generate any type of offense and have only scored 2 goals on their last 288 shots on goal. Despite getting Bryan Rust back in the fold and adding Michael Bunting to the lineup, the team hasn't fared any better. So, as we look ahead, how can they salvage anything from this season to carry over into the offseason? Should they be cal...
The Pittsburgh Steelers have reshaped their roster quite a bit since the start of free agency. Russell Wilson agreed to a one-year deal for the vet minimum to come in and "compete". The team found what they hope is a solution to their punting woes in veteran Cam Johnson. They added standout, 24 year-old linebacker Patrick Queen from the Ravens and finally traded Diontae Johnson and a seventh-round pick for Donte Jackson and a sixth-round pick. Let's talk about all of this activity, and what we t...

Smitty and Tyler are back to discuss all things Pittsburgh Pirates. Dauri Moreta and David Bednar are dealing with injuries (though it looks like Bednar will be back soon), which could test the depth of the bullpen early. Andrew McCutchen and Josh Palacios made their Spring debuts as they work their way into the fold. Henry Davis continues to rake this spring. Paul Skenes isn't in play to be part of the Pirates Opening Day roster, but Jared Jones is according to Derek Shelton. There's a lot to d...

The Steelers aren't strapped with a ton of cap space or draft picks as we sit here right now, so what is the best possible plan of attack for Omar Khan and company?

Smitty and Tyler are back to discuss the latest with the Pittsburgh Pirates. The team signed Yasmani Grandal to a one-year deal and may not be done just yet. They've been linked to free agent pitchers Domingo German, Michael Lorenzen and Noah Syndergaard for some time and have reportedly been discussing a deal with the Marlins for one of their young, controllable starting pitchers, such as Edward Cabrera. Would a move like that push the Pirates towards playoff contention? Let's discuss! Everythi...
Smitty and Tyler are back to discuss all things Pittsburgh Penguins. After the Pens went 0-2 over the weekend, we discuss their up and down play and how hard it is to get a finger on the pulse of what this team is. With them scratching and clawing for their playoff lives and the NHL trade deadline approaching, how will Kyle Dubas and company choose to operate? Is Evgeni Malkin finally showing his age or is he dealing with an injury? Could a move to a wing help him extend his career? Let's discus...
Smitty and Tyler are back to discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers are the betting odds favorites to land Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields. Does the fit make sense for Fields in Arthur Smith's offense and what compensation would you be willing to give up in order to acquire him? We also touch on the Steelers cutting Mitch Trubisky, Chuks Okorafor and Pressley Harvin III. What free agent safeties the team could look at and if Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson should be in play at ...
