The

The You're going to be. I'm sorry to be. Hello, everyone and welcome to the Pirates fan forum here on DK.

Pittsburgh Sports Podcast Network.

I'm your host, Gary Morgan, with me as usual.

My good friend, Jim Stam, how you doing brother good uh yeah dude that intro yeah

that's new for me i i i hadn't had i didn't get a chance to hear it you tell me this is the unholy

rollers yeah yeah it gives us a little it gives a little bit of edge i like it my buddy joe that

i worked with for a long

time put it together with his daughter I really love it and it's really good stuff so

anyways we're gonna talk about a interesting poll question that you put up about

Andrew McCutcheon that I think probably exposes some people's deepest darkest feelings that they don't want to

say out loud but it's a lot easier to click a button with anonymity right oh yes yes that's why

we're going to talk about that we're going to talk about o'neal cruise a little bit he's doing some

some different kind of training this offseason

with some different players and trying to really focus on getting better in certain areas.

Jim, I don't know if I'm pushing it too far, but it really feels like a guy that maybe has matured

over the off season or at least is ready to take his career a little bit

more seriously yeah i mean you know it it it's i would hope o'neal cruz realizes this is very a very

pivotal season for him so to see him him saying the things he said and then you see him doing some of this work,

even, hey, not just hitting, you know, like it's got to be in the field too, buddy.

Like, you know, so that to me is, is good.

I think pressure, this kind of pressure on a guy is a good thing because it's going to drive him to, hey, if it doesn't work out, it won't be because of lack of focus or trying.
