Hey guys. Welcome to Double Shot of Pirates.

I'm Dan Kovanovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

And this is a program that we do every day, every weekday, live at 3 p.m.

related to your favorite baseball team, which tonight opens up a three games set in

Arlington, Texas against Andrew McCutcheon and the Rangers, which still has an awful

sound to it.

The Cutch has cooled off a little bit since that sizzling, first off, sizzling spring that he had to make the roster and then a tremendous start as well.

Marcelo Zuna, the guy who replaced him here, got off to a horrendous start and has only recently

begun to hit, but he has begun to hit.

I would imagine that's going to be the lion's share of the conversation throughout the series

as it relates to these two teams.

What I want to talk about today isn't that.

I've been over that a million times is more, it's more pointed at this club and where

this club is headed into the very near future and what they've achieved so far to get there.

And within that, I'm going to ask you what's been the Pirates' biggest surprise so far.

That's up to you.

To answer that, the biggest surprise so far for this team. Now, it doesn't have to be a person.

It can be a facet. It can be just a, wow, they don't stink. That's the biggest surprise so far.

That's what I want to hear from you guys today. I have thoughts on this. I kind of feel like somebody else should go first.

Because I already see a couple of good ones coming in on the chat.

We'll be putting them up on the screen.

Make sure you remember, dkbs.net slash join pirates is the way to do this.
