Hey guys, welcome to the Pirates podcast to be named later.

The rebooted version of the Pirates podcast to be named later.

My name is Chris Halle, joining me as our Pirates beatwriter at DK Pittsburgh Sports, Jose Negeran.

Jose, we are going to talk baseball.

Let's introduce the show, what we're going to be doing, how often we're going to be doing it. Take it away, Jose. What are we here to talk about? Yeah, well, I mean, we're going to talk about the Pirates off season. You know, we're going to start off there and then get into, as the offseason progresses, we'll get into the regular season, spring training, everything that it kind of follows we'll do this

every Monday um not sure if it'll be at 530 every week we'll try to adjust our schedules i mean our

schedules are pretty hectic with uh with you on Steelers and you know me during the pirate season's

pretty hectic too but oh and and with 162 games i'm pretty sure i'm going to be end up

uh end up covering a fair share of games uh so yeah it just it is what it is uh that's just the

nature of the baseball season uh for those who don't know anything about us just so we can

get that out of the way um i'm ch Halleck, Jose Negron, too.

My, be my, that way, on that side of me.

I guess if you're watching it, probably on my right.

We are both, Jose covers the pirates for D.K. Pittsburgh sports. We both work for D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

We have an app that you should download and we can get to that later. But,

but Jose covers the pirates where they go, he goes most of the time. Obviously, it's 162 games plus

all-spring training. Can't be there. That's not fair for any human being doesn't matter if

they're the pirates or the dodgers um but i tag in on pirates whenever i can we are both members

of the baseball writers association of america um Jose you know gets to vote on the awards at the end of

the season you know all this kind of stuff so we are we're plugged in uh when it comes to understanding

what's going on with with the baseball team that plays on the north shore at pnc park uh so hopefully

you can take what we say is you know not just you know fanboys sitting in our basement
