Hey guys, welcome to double shot of Pirates.

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

And this program is brought to you by the North Shore Tavern.

Home of Steak on a Stone.

I'm joined from Phoenix by our beat reporter, Jose Negron.

What's up, Jose?

Hey, DK. How are you?

All right.

Everyone, when you talk to somebody who's in some kind of climate like that, they always have to ask,

what's the weather like?

But hey, what's the weather like?

I was going to ask you the same question but then uh i i i didn't but the weather is actually weirdly comfortable here like right now it's like high 70s yeah our uh our entire country

is under some sort of psychoses right now. Like Denver

is getting the snowstorm of the century. Yeah. Somewhere between us. Well, it was very strange

because I actually flew into Denver. It was my connection yesterday morning and it was like 30 degrees.

And as I was walking up the the the jetway

to the gate I it was freezing I was I was in shorts and that's that's that's that's actually a good yeah

I was that's what I was thinking um but yeah no yesterday was actually very comfortable the roof

was open uh over at Chase Field,

and I think it's supposed to be, you know, somewhat okay today as well.

Well, somewhat okay is probably the best way to state the condition of the team at the moment.

I think, you know, they're still a little bit over 500.
