Hey guys. Welcome to Double Shot of Pirates. I'm Dan Kovachman of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

Tell me by Paul Churchill.

Hey, guys.

He's one of about three quarters of a million people in town for the NFL draft.

You can see that our place is bustling back there with draft activity and everything.

And that actually has me eager to share with you guys a thought about your baseball club that at least feels like it's somewhat related to that.

And that is this.

Is there anybody paying attention to this team?

Like, are we wasting our time covering?

They're really good.

And Paul, I asked you about the Pirates before we got on.

And you're like, that was more my son than anything my daughter was just at a

game and she said dad we all got to get down there a lot I had a blast so the

atmosphere was just fantastic oh you wait your daughter went to a game yep my daughter

and my son-in-law yep yeah see that's one of the things that I talk about on the program a lot. People will cut up the attendance and they'll say, well, look, it's, you know, they played really well last night. Why didn't they get people the next night? It's not how it works. Right, right. You make a decision, you're going to go eventually. Absolutely. I mean, on top of the beautiful park that we have there,

I mean, now Pirates seem very relevant.

So, I mean, they're just doing great.

I think looking at McCutcheon, not being here was not a bad decision.

Ozone is starting to catch on.

So, you know, I think we're in a really good place.

Super excited.

Well, that's the thing that, look, let's call this what it is.
