How likely do you find it that the Pens get lucky and are bad enough to be in the Gavin Mckenna sweepstakes next year?
Jason Mackey
1:10
Man, how is that not a goal at this point, right? I'm almost rooting for it. It's how they've won before. Trade Rust & Rakell, anything else that moves. Own the rebuild. That's your carrot? It's not stupid.

hey jason, regarding the Pirates road record, any truth to the rumor that nutting has them traveling by fred flintstone mobile and their feet are always hurting them because they are so tired from driving the cars barefoot? Thanks -
Jason Mackey
1:10
Ben, you workshopped this for several minutes didn't you?
Ben

Hey jason - it’s impressive how badly Pham wants to get traded! He’s hitting like .400 trying to get out.
Jason Mackey
1:11
So you're saying he can see the light at the end of the tunnel?

Are Bucs having a die hard night promotion soon? Fans get in free that were alive last time Bucs won the pennant.

You could always suggest it to Travis Williams: https://www.mlb.com/pirates/tickets/promotions

Do u think Cutch will be back in 2026. I lean yes but I could see it being as a Platoon somewhere vs LHP. Thoughts?
Jason Mackey
1:12
I'm not sure. Honestly, Jake. I'm not sure if he knows. If they were good, it would be easy. The losing is hard. If I had to answer, I'd say he comes back. But I don't think it's as iron-clad as it used to be.
This will happen
1:12
In the next few weeks... Skenes will be a Met. Cherrington gets a 5 year extension. The Pirates get swept by the White Sox and Rockies
Jason Mackey
1:12
No, it won't.

Lebo Boy is just Shelty without the beard
Jason Mackey
1:13
No, he's not. Plus, he abandoned us. Traded the South Hills for the North Hills. Pittsburgh rarity!
Fingers crossed
1:13
So with the Penguins moves on defense does that mean Ryan Graves will spend next season collecting dust in the press box ? Hope so
Jason Mackey
1:13
As of now he's one of their top LHD, maybe playing a huge role in the tank.

Here's another maybe obscure question. I imagine that if some small D1 schools move it will be to D3. But why D3 and not D2?
Jason Mackey
1:17
Not sure, Gunner. I always thought D2 was the superior Mighty Ducks movie, too. In all seriousness, you bring up a good point. I don't know enough to get you an actual answer, however.

With the money that could be be generated for both teams, why do WVU and Pitt not play every year in football?   It makes no sense.
Jason Mackey
1:18
I'm with you. Pitt and Penn State the same, though I understand why Penn State has other priorities. Nittany Lions don't benefit from playing or beating a team like Pitt. But Pitt-WVU should happen every year.
What ?
1:18
What happens first. The Sun exploding and therefore ending all life in our galaxy or the Pirates finishing above .500
Jason Mackey
1:18
Pirates above .500.

Do u think Jack Suwinski would profit from a change of scenery! He has basically gone into a funk due  to much tinkering! I really feel for the guy! I would hope they give him a chance to play rest of the year!
Jason Mackey
1:19
I agree with you. But I just don't know what another organization would give you for him. I do think Jack figures it out somewhere. Just not here.
Please
1:19
Jason you played Baseball at Westminster would you consider becoming the manager at St Vincent ? They need a new one real bad
Jason Mackey
1:21
Among the many jobs I'm not qualified to have ...

What happened to Mick Janosko?
Meet the new boss
1:21
Can't blame him for wanting to leave Mt Lebanon. Place is a bombed out hellhole
Jason Mackey
1:21
*And where I live
PrinceBob
1:21
Well, you do give scholarships in D2 and you have to sponsor more sports. So I guess the costs are higher. Maybe that's it. I was an original D2 athlete but am not sure I understand why the division is there. Seems like the worst of both worlds.
Jason Mackey
1:21
Ah, I gotcha. Thank you for the explanation.
Bob
1:21
This may have been asked, so I apologize if it has. Do you think if they trade a big contract (Keller, Hayes, Reynolds) or an upside guy like Cruz that is sign that they will be sticking with Ben as GM?
Jason Mackey
1:22
I don't think they're going to stick with Ben as GM, first off. And, no, I wouldn't read that as a sign. Don't think they'll trade Cruz. There's too much upside. I don't think they'll do much aside from trading guys on expiring deals, either.
OK, folks. That does it for this week. Thanks so much for participating. This was fun. The most varied collection of questions we've had. We'll do it again real soon.
