on this program if there's one truth that we hold to be self-evident well at least that i

hold to be self-evident it's that everybody should have been fired after the twenty-twenty-four

season so making that case anew is a little too easy.

Try a little harder.

Good morning to you.

Good.

Monday morning, I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is Daily Shot.

Pirates comes your way bright and early every weekday.

If you're into football and or hockey, I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Penguins in the same place that you found this.

Reds 4, Pirates Zero yesterday in Cincinnati.

Reds sweep all three games in Cincinnati.

The pirates produce all of 10 total hits. Two of those yesterday,

the final 23 batters being retired in a row. Where to start with why you would fire.

Essentially all over again, at least in my mind, Ben Charington, Derek Shelton,

anybody who's in charge of anything,

especially following all of the various off-field events of the past few days.

So rather than state or restate the obvious, the blatantly obvious that they should be fired, what I'll do instead is offer the potential perils of doing that now, you know, pretty much

just so that you can cross all of that off the list. Let's start with Charrington because from an ownership standpoint, and believe me, this decision is not going to be made by Travis Williams.

If anything, Williams would be slash should be in trouble himself right now after the bricks and the Clementi thing and everything else.

Just purely on a perception level and lack of communication and lack of accountability and

all else.
