    Very informal

    Honest and Unbiased
    Love this Pirates podcast. Keep up the good work!

    Review
    Great job brother. You’re clearly a legit Bucco fan and your appreciated earnestly. I only wish that Mr. Nutting would appreciate your efforts and support and open up his checkbook for two legitimate bats to impose in this lineup to gel around this incredible pitching staff we are currently lavishing in before time rips this city a new one. Great job dude!
  • Odog...pirates
    Great
    My pirates are great
  • buccobaseball22
    Keep Going
    love the work man… listen to this when working out! instagram@buccobassball22
  • davbic1
    Need more
    I enjoy listening and cannot understand why we get 1 to 3 episodes per week durning season.
  • Steel City Diamond.
    Getting worse
    Only listenable when guests are on. Seems to be getting worse, especially how many names he mispronounces.
  • buccos636
    Lack of content
    Supposed to be a daily show, lucky to get two episodes a week.
  • piratesfan12322
    Audio quality has been bad recently
    Generally I like Ethan’s podcast, and his guests Gary and Adam always give a quality perspective, but recently the podcast quality has been jumpy and a bit difficult to listen to.
  • Gramma Holly Hill
    poor production
    C'mon guys... is anyone listening to what you're releasing before you release it? Mic volume is sporadic. Episode 352.... aauugh! I'm a Buccos fan and really want this content but you're pushing the boundaries.
  • aaron1402
    Awful
    12/24/2022 was my first episode I listened to. Turned off after 6 minutes when the first topic was the guest Adam Bittner whining about ownership.
  • Still Hoping For One More
    Bottom Line
    The bottom line for me is that Ethan has made this season, of a very bad baseball team, interesting to me. He’s got me following the team closely in a year (my 56th as a Pirate fan) where in April I didn’t foresee paying any attention at all. Can’t do better than that for me.
  • TheBigRed10z
    Not great
    Your host that reads the most adds. I’m listening to a dude say obvious stuff after looking at a box score while spending over half the episode reading adds
  • Joe101219
    OK
    Decent content but the host is not a good speaker. (Lots of sniffling recently also). Makes the podcast boring. Not enough content to keep you interested with a drab host.
  • BobbyG84_
    Terrible
    The host reads news articles without attribution and presents them as his own thoughts. In the February 24th show, the host’s “takeaways” from a spring training game were taken directly from a Sports Illustrated article, word-for-word, including calling a pitcher “super hot and super cold” and describing a hit as a “flick of the wrist.” This plagiarism should be taken down. Beyond the plagiarism, the host just reads from a script each show without adding any of his own insight. Avoid.
  • Eric Parsons
    Best on the Pirates
    I have gotten to the point that I hardly listen to the radio anymore. Living in Columbus, there is only so much Ohio State I can take, particularly since I'm not a native to the area. I had seen on Bucs Dugout that this podcast was being publish, so I gave it a shot. Very nicely done. While Jason doesn't seem to be updating his end much currently, the River Blast section, once they hit their stride, does quite well. It's a nice mix of the sabermetrics, an explanation of the same, and old school "gut calls," with good writing evident that makes me look forward to each publication. You may not agree with every statement--though, I have, for the most part--but they are not supporting their arguments by going, "c'mon! I mean, he's..." or any other worthless statement. It's backed up by numbers and well thought out. Well worth the time.
  • Tanner Yoho
    Jason and his Brigade keep you informed
    Jason and his team have built something respectable here at LOP. I love the podcast and every time a new one gets put up i jump right to it and listen to it. It’s entertaining, informative, and a must listen to for unbiased pirates information.
  • Bketcham
    Good show
    It does not feature any “ Yinz or Aht “but still good.
  • vibunix
    Locked on Pirates.
    It’s great to have a place to go to listen to intelligent analysis of Pirates baseball, especially as the team sinks into irrelevance to the mainstream media. Jason provides an intelligent and objective conversation, though sometimes heavily laden with advanced metrics that can be challenging to absorb without a visual component. Improved sound quality would make it much easier to enjoy the podcast. Some of the interviews by remote hookup have been difficult to follow.
  • Buffdog1981
    Very entertaining
    Very good, interesting podcast for your Pirates news. A smidge more humor would take it over the top. Way to represent our Buccos. #LetsGoBucs #WinTheDivision
  • Steve in Cincy
    Like it!
    I sincerely like the podcast. My only potential complaint is that some of the sabermetrics terms used i am not familiar with and i bet I am not alone. Might be a great idea to explain some of the terms as they are used or potential devote some shows to the topic. With that i am sure i would enjoy the pod even more.
  • Gertie R.
    Two thumbs up!!!
    Excellent podcast- informative and entertaining - makes it easy for even a beginner sports fan to understand!
  • JeffAlbertson89
    Really excited about this!
    Loving it so far!
  • brandonwarne52
    Nice job!
    Jason does a really great job with this. Nicely done!
