Name a great player that played on a defunct pro sports team. I’ll start:

Jason Shetler Ronnie Paulino. Highest batting average for a rookie catcher since Mike Piazza at the time at least.

Battle of former Pirates in 1990. John Candelaria, of course, was one of the great pitchers in franchise history, while Johnny Ray became one of the more underrated 2B of his era.

Jason Shetler Larry Csonka - Memphis Southmen

If it wasn’t for podcasts, we all would have to listen to 93.7 The Fan & it’s immature commentary on a constant basis. I like a few guys on The Fan, but it’s refreshing to have alternatives, like Gary Morgan (Pirates), Christopher Carter (Steelers) & Kelsey Surmacz (Penguins)

Let me really deep dive on another choice. Sam Clancy - Pittsburgh Maulers

The 2025 MLB Draft will consist of 4 second generation players. OF Jake Casey - Son of Sean Casey OF Manny Ramirez Jr. - Son of Manny Ramirez 1B Carsten Sabathia - Son of CC Sabathia OF Quentin Young - Nephew of Dmitri & Delmon Young

Pretty cool of the Tigers to do a video package of Don Kelly

Bubba Chandler gets the start tonight for Indianapolis. The #Pirates top ranked prospect looks to bounce back from his shortest outing of the season

Jason Shetler Mark Fidrych

Make it 5. Not sure how I forgot Ethan Holliday - Son of Matt Holliday

Billy Cook with a first inning RBI single. He’s reached base safely in 12 of his last 14 games. #IndyIndians

Jason Shetler Bob Hamelin

Mark Quinn with the Kansas City Royals

Jason Shetler Warren Morris

Per an announcement in the press box: Bryan Reynolds left today’s game to join his wife, Blair, who is in labor with their third child.

Third inning single from Konnor Griffin. He’s recorded a hit in all 7 games since getting promoted to Greensboro

A source tells Dejan Kovacevic that Nick Bonino will be joining Dan Muse’s coaching staff. Nothing confirmed as of yet, per DK, but sounds like Muse has his first coaching addition. Bonino played a integral role on the #Penguins Cup teams in 2016 & 2017.

Final line on Bubba Chandler: 4 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 3 K (79 pitches; 42 strikes). Not a bad outing from Chandler, but he labored a bit. Some unfortunate luck sprinkled in. 4 of the 5 hits allowed had exit velos of 80 mph or less. #IndyIndians

During Bonino’s final NHL season in 2023-24 with the New York Rangers, Muse was the assistant coach, so the 2 know each other
