Hey guys, welcome to Double Shot Pirates.

I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports joined by a red-eyed Jose Negron who just flew back from San Francisco on the actual

red eye. Can you sleep on those? I got maybe 45 minutes of sleep on that.

It was more than I get, man. It was not. and it was, man, I felt so jealous because I was looking

around and I was like, they're all out. Everybody is just knocked out and I'm, I'm sitting here.

I was watching episodes of friends. I was, I watched a little top gun Maverick. I was trying to do

everything possible to get through that flight well since you

were watching episodes of friends we're gonna we're gonna have us our our episodes today will be

the one with the beleaguered middle relief it's a good call you like that that? I like it. Okay.

What do you do?

I mean, you do have to bring Wilberd-Otel backed up, don't you?

Yeah, 100%. And off the top of my head, I probably should have looked this up before we got started.

But I don't know if I believe we're at the 15 day mark um so I wouldn't be

surprised if he's up here for this homestand like tomorrow um yeah like tomorrow so you know yeah

if you get him up here I think that's a big boost um obviously what he was able to do

uh in the few um appearances that he was able to have,

he showed something. And I think that, you know, especially when you consider what the situation

is right now, you definitely can use it. So I think that's step number one is to get,

get Dutel up here, you know, have him be that middle relief guy who's going to cover multiple innings and would put them in a much better spot for sure.

And for anybody who doesn't understand our context here for Dotel, there are rules in place in the collective bargaining agreement that keep players from getting yo-yoed up

and down or prevent more accurately GMs from abusing their rosters, you know, meaning,

you know, just have a guy here, a guy there, change people every single day.
