I read somewhere if you bet the Pirates $100 the first game and then just rolled it over twice you would have $3000 today

With respect to replacing Tuitt does it really make sense to add a stop gap veteran on a one year deal? The Steelers, despite what they say, are not realistically competing for a championship this year. Wouldn't it be better to give more snaps to Loudermilk and Leal to hasten their development and find out what you have?
Zeise
12:43
I think they will give all those guys opportunities but they still need depth. They need to add to that group

Hi Paul thanks for the chats! Interesting stat line for the Bucs as they are 1-11 vs the Cards and Brewers and 21-16 against everyone else. I like that they are starting to play the kids more and look forward to more call ups as there is no reason to play guys like Newman and Yoshi when they are not going to be around 2 yeqars from now.
Zeise
12:44
I would say that is a welcome development. I don’t need to see any of these journeymen guys or washouts like Newman play ever again. Play the kids and move on
Cole Tucker

Hiya Paul. Still on waivers here. That Hu Chang dude they got makes me look so much better! Strikes out too much! To me they are running out of options, right?
Zeise
12:45
It is absolutely incredible they moved on from you and ended up with a worse player
Mark
12:45
Who is the better QB: Pitt's new guy from USC or West Virginia's new guy from Georgia?
Zeise
12:46
Well West Virginia’s guy was at USC before Georgia! I think Slovis proved he can be a very good player in the Pac 12

Do you prefer the no holds barred approach to head shots taken by the NHL or the strict liability touching the head and targeting approach of NFL and college football?
Zeise
12:47
The NHL needs to really lock it down on these head shots. They should protect players
Jacob Trouba
12:47
Hi Paul. What's all that fuss about me still? I play clean. Just below that line. Ask Sid.
Zeise
12:48
People are just mad because the Penguins lost!
Donna

Good afternoon Paul.  I just want to say that it’s nice seeing the Pirates bringing up and playing some of their “prospects.”  Thoughts? Comments?
Zeise
12:51
Exactly just as we said before - I don’t need to see the journeymen guys any more. People have seen enough of that group. If they play the young guys we can live with the results
Sunner in Orlando
12:51
Hard to watch the Rangers win as I feel deep in my heart that if Trouba doesn't take out Sid and Rackell the Pens might still be playing. Is that sour grapes or any truth to that statement? Should the Pens try to sign an enforcer like Trouba or Reaves to protect our stars or has that ship sailed?
Zeise
12:52
I always believe this - the teams that are supposed to win series win series. All the whining about Crosby and Jarry being hurt is just excuse making that’s all.
Bernard
12:52
The Tuitt announcement was not shocking and it is nice the team has some resolution there finally.  How do they improve the DL and run defense now?  And will Bush be exposed again or do you think he'll show some improvement this season as he moves further away from his injury?  The middle of this defense just seems very weak and that's usually a really bad set up.
Zeise
12:55
They have a few younger options at defensive line but they really need a veteran that can solidify that group. As for Bush, it is a hope and a prayer. I don’t think he is a very good football player but maybe he will prove us all wrong
Zeise
12:56
He is a grown ass man, he can do what he wants. It is the offseason!!
Mary Kay Cabot
12:56
Hi Paul. Baker skipped Brown's OTAs. He's been estranged from the team since March. He still wants a trade! Last seen, partying boozily w/wife & friends down in Austin Tx.
Zeise
12:57
Again, he is grown and these are voluntary. Would you want to play for the Browns again after how they treated him? I don’t blame him one bit
AK
12:57
Devin Bush said yesterday he has "nothing to prove" - is this guy out of his mind? Not only does he look like a bust, but talks like one too. Seems to be some large maturity and self-awareness issues with him.
Zeise
12:58
Again, I have never thought he was a good player. I’ve thought he was an overrated freakish athlete guy with little instincts for the game. He also needs to grow up, that much is clear watching his social media accounts
AK
12:58
My prediction on the Deshaun Watson thing in Cleveland is that its going to totally implode. There's just too many ingredients for a total disaster. How do you think it will work out in the long term for them?
Zeise
12:59
I don’t think so. I think he will get 4-6 games suspension and move on, like Ben did

I have read that people think that MT will be more powerful with the exit of KC.  I guess that we will be seeing a lot more Dustin Bush type of draft selections.  Your thoughts?
Zeise
1:00
I don’t buy the idea he wasn’t already extremely powerful. The Rooney’s have always set it up so their coach carried a very large voice in personnel. And yes, he seems to favor those freakish athletes even if they can’t play a lick
AK
1:00
If you were the Pirates, would you keep Quintana around like a Liriano type? If they are serious at competing at the major league level (maybe they aren't serious LOL), then keeping a guy like Quintana around for another year or 2 makes sense.
Zeise
1:01
No way. They should trade him tomorrow. They aren’t going to contend this year and he is on borrowed time. Get him traded while he has value
AK
1:01
Had Diontae Johnson not melted down at the end of the year, I would have no problem inking him to a large deal. The fact that he regressed at the end of the year worries me. I would still try to sign him because he has some elite skills. Your thoughts?
Zeise
1:02
I just think he is probably just outside the top ten receivers and that means he should get $18 million max
G Dulac

Hi Paul. No chat today. Taking a break. Just hangin' out at The 19th Hole. Tell everybody hi.
Zeise
1:05
You earned it, long season!
Cole Tucker
1:06
You don't think Vanessa is gonna leave me now that I'm not in the Majors anymore do you ?
Zeise
1:06
No. How could she leave someone with hair as nice as yours?
the State Penn
1:07
the Buccos traded for this guy Chang, who is batting a whopping .000 this year. Is Ben Cherington playing chess, not checkers?!
Zeise
1:08
It is amazing that they DFA Cole Tucker and find a guy who hits worse than he doss
Jock Sutherland

If it is true that Dustin Johnson is getting 125 million just to play on new tour I don’t see how the PGA tour could not kick him off their tour.    If he was just playing a couple of events wouldn’t see need for complete ban but making such a commitment with a rival league I think changes dynamics.   What’s your thoughts?   Will you watch on YouTube next week?
