Hey guys, welcome to double shot of pirates.

I'm Dan Kovachvich.

He's Chris Hallick.

We're from D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

Your baseball club is in Bradenton right now.

It's a one-one tie with the raise.

And it's just another Tuesday down there, even though it's Monday.

That's a running joke, by the way, for...

In every spring training fold everywhere.

Yeah.

The days all blend together.

Nobody remembers who's who, what's their name,

everything else, except for Connor Griffin. Yeah. Three hits this spring. They've all cleared

defense. That's what he does, apparently. I don't know what, I don't know what else this.

This spring is just, it's so interesting because you can look at like what Jared Jones has done in previous springs and what other young guys have done to, you know, earn their way onto a roster spot or really, but this is, like I said, this is different.

We've been talking about this.

This is a different situation with Connor Griffin.

He's the number one prospect in all of baseball. This is a decision. Whatever decision you make, you can't mess it up. You really can't. No, I'm saying like you don't want to. I'm not, I don't fear the backwards step the way a lot of baseball people do. They feel like you get this a lot.

Well, the guy makes it up, you know, and everybody goes through the big Ballyhoo and yay, first this, parents in the crowd, first hit, all that other stuff.

Then you go through some monstrous slump and you get sent back. And it's seen as the end of the world.

Like you totally blew it. I don't know why.

I really don't.
