About

Pirates pitcher Jared Jones joined the show. Jared talked about the experience of making the team’s Opening Day roster despite zero MLB playing time – the first Pirate to do so since Kris Benson in 1999. Jared talked about calling his dad as the first phone call after getting word he would be on the big-league club out of camp. A funny story about Jared throwing a perfect game in high school when almost every pitch was a fastball. Jared said he will not crack a smile out on the mound, but he might do so after the game – depending on how it went. Jared got into how he some guys push each other, including Paul Skenes. Chris asked Jared about Mitch Keller as the elder statesman of the rotation.
