Good Afternoon Paul,  Thank you for your time.  In regards to Mitch Keller being sent to AAA.  If Oscar Marin couldn’t help him with the Pirates, isn’t it a knock on Marin that the Pirates are hoping Joel Hanrahan can help Keller?  Perhaps they should switch teams?
Zeise

No. The Major League pitching coach can’t spend all his time trying to help a head case find his pitches and confidence. That stuff needs to be handled by the minor league guys whose focus is development and not necessarily trying to win games

Should Adam Frazier just wear a generic MLB logo jersey instead of the poorate jersey to the televised all star game?  Or should fans seek it as a collectors item?
Zeise
1:00
It will be a collectors item!!

Will college athletes be able endorse beer and alcohol brands?  What  would Amanda say about that??
Zeise

I haven’t gotten a chance to read the ins and outs of the new rule. I would think they could if they are 21 but don’t quote me on it.

in keeping with his resume a good probability Canada will stay one year and move on to another job in college or pros?
Zeise
1:03
I’m not sure, I can’t imagine he will get offered a better job than Steelers offensive coordinator. I guess if he gets a head coach gig it could happen. But I think he will be back of here has a good season

When a free agent such as Malik Hooker or Trae Turner visits the Steelers, besides a physical, what else is part of the procedure? Interviews, workout, etc.

Hi Paul…I wonder this same thing every year. With all of the money in the world now, why do the Mets not just pay off the Bonilla contract in one lump sum? Obviously, they know that it’s seen as a black eye for the organization that is mocked and laughed at all over sports media every, single year. Could it really be as easy as the financial benefit that comes with gaining interest in the money? I just always thought it was strange they don’t just flush the issue!
Zeise
1:06
Alan I think that there is a trust type thing set up that gains interest and all that and so they aren’t pulling a bunch of money out of their budget every year

HI Paul,  do you think a public reunion between Troy Polamalu and the Steelers is in the near future ?
Zeise
1:06
Yes, I do. It seems like that relationship is healing

I think the Pirates "window" slammed shut years ago.

If you were a top draft pick would you sign with the pirates organization now for this upcoming draft based on their player development ie Kellerw
Zeise
1:08
Yes because the regime that is most responsible for Keller is gone.

Although I am happy for the college athletes who will benefit from these new rules and thrilled that FINALLY someone put the NCAA and their archaic rules in their place, the reality is that not too many of them will really benefit from these endorsement opportunities.
Zeise
1:09
I disagree. I think this will be great for them and you will be surprised how many benefit

We down in Tampa need another good pitcher do the Pirates got anyone they want to get rid of??
Zeise
1:10
We got Mitch Keller to send you!!

Hi Paul, do you see the Pirates going all in on drafting a pitcher like Leiter or drafting a guy like the catcher Davis in the hope he will take less money and enabling the team to draft a highly rated player with their second pick?  Thanks Paul.
Zeise
1:11
No I think they will go with a position player. They have been talking about this for a while

Is Gwen Berry my soulmate?
Zeise
1:12
No. She is a marketing genius who turned herself from an obscure nobody into someone people have heard of.

You believe in Climate Change Zeise or do you agree with your idol Trump that it is a hoax orchestrated by the Chinese. Knowing you I'm sure that's what you think.
Jake

Couldn’t agree more that Rico is probably in his 40’s and still living at home
Zeise
1:12
Really, you think? Ha ha. Please someone get Rico some help. He is losing it more and more every week!!
1:13
OK this has been fun but I need to run. Thanks for participating and we will do it again in two weeks - I’m on vacation next week
