Starkey & Mueller

Pirates catcher Jason Delay joined the show. He talked about what worked for Luis Ortiz today in the Pirates win. The guys asked Jason about the adjustment from his end in a game that is well-pitched. Jason talked about the psychological game in a place like Great American Ballpark, where it is so easy for hitters to poke it out. The guys asked Jason about Bryan Reynolds and his 23-game hit streak. What is more satisfying as a catcher – a couple of big hits at the plate or a pitcher tossing a gem? Jason got into how routines can change, especially for pitchers, who start a game despite being used to coming out of the bullpen. Do the Pirates have too many positive projections on current players and that plays into why they don’t make big moves? And we try some Buffalo Chicken Dip chips.
