Can Pirates salvage anything good in final weeks? | Another chance for Steelers' Broderick Jones?

  • Summary

  • On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the Pirates' latest loss Tuesday to the St. Louis Cardinals. He ponders another strong start from Bailey Falter; three hits for Nick Yorke in his MLB debut; manager Derek Shelton's curious decision to pinch hit Yasmani Grandal for Billy Cook late in the game; the disturbing surge of stolen bases allowed to opposing runners; and what it all means in the big picture. How has the team crashed so hard since the July 30 MLB trade deadline? And can they even match their 2023 win total by playing decent baseball over the final couple of weeks?

    Jason answers those questions, then turns attention to the Steelers. Why should there be no controversy at QB this week with Justin Fields likely starting in NFL Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers, as Russell Wilson continues to navigate his injury? And will Broderick Jones get another chance at tackle from coach Mike Tomlin?
