PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - In his third MLB start this season Mike Burrows looked more like the pitcher from AAA as the Pirates evened the series with Houston, 3-0 Wednesday night. Burrows went 5.1 innings allowing no runs on five hits with no walks and six strikeouts. He threw 70 pitches, 42 for strikes. In his two previous starts with the Bucs, the right-hander went 8.1 innings, nine runs, four walks and five strikeouts with three home runs allowed.

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - There was hope the Pirates found a rotation piece in trading Jose Quintana and Chris Stratton to the Cardinals at the trade deadline in 2022. Johan Oviedo had a 3.23 ERA in seven starts after joining the Pirates. Now he's taking another step in returning from Tommy John surgery. Oviedo threw a bullpen session in Bradenton on Tuesday and felt good after. Later this week he is scheduled to move forward and throw a live batting practice.

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - To Beanie Bishop the whole situation is very easy to explain, it's a rivalry. That's what people do in a rivalry when they don't like each other. What happened was the Steelers safety, and former Mountaineers safety, was in the Pitt locker room Tuesday, because the Steelers borrowed it for a couple of days to do some in-house pictures, scoreboard videos, stuff like that.

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - Steelers adding some safety depth on Wednesday signing free agent Quindell Johnson. The 6'2", 208-pounder was on the Rams practice squad last year, signed and then released by the 49ers practice this year after a rookie season with Chicago. Johnson had an interception in 2023 off Blaine Gabbert while playing in nine games with Chicago. He also finished with three tackles and a pass defensed in 35 defensive snaps.

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - It's one thing to come back from one devastating knee injury, but Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb is back and full go at practice after a second substantial knee injury in November of 2023. Holcomb missed the last nine games of 2023 and all of 2024. The 28-year-old did return to practices at the end of last year, but said it was for the best that he didn't attempt to play in a game even though he thought he would be able to go.
Paul Skenes says he's got to control what he can control

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - It's got to be maddening, you are arguably the best pitcher in the game and doing your job, yet the run support is inconsistent at best. What Paul Skenes said about a 3-0 loss to Houston Tuesday. Over his last five starts Skenes has pitched 28.2 innings, allowed four earned runs and has one win. Half of his last four starts the righty went eight innings allowing only one run and lost both of those outings.

In his last start in Arizona, Skenes got 10 runs of support when he only needed one.

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - Per multiple reports the Steelers lost a tight end to a likely season-ending Achilles injury with rumors of trading for Miami's Jonnu Smith heating back up. 6'8" free agent signee Donald Parham was reportedly injured during OTAs on Tuesday. At best he would have been a third tight end and likely four with the impact Connor Heyward makes on special teams. Parham spent last year on the Broncos practice squad and didn't play in a game.
Fitzpatrick working now so defense 'leaves no gray' in 2025

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - From the leader of the secondary, it seems the moves of bringing in Darius Slay and bringing back Gerald Alexander as secondary coach should be major factors for the Steelers defense this year. Minkah Fitzpatrick discussed the changes and why the eighth-year safety is at voluntary workouts. Improving goes back to the buzz phrase we heard so often from the Steelers last year about lack of communication.

PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - Kaleb Johnson has exciting potential. Jaylen Warren is the best returning back who has waiting for the opportunity to be the lead.

He said he's never gone through as many drills in his football career, but believes it will make him even better.
