Austin Bechtold

CAREER UPDATE ‼️ I’m excited to announce that I’m officially the full-time producer of The Joe Starkey Show on @937theFan! Blessed to live out my dream in Pittsburgh sports radio. Thanks to @JoeStarkey1, @PaulZeise, and @KraigRiley for believing in me. The best is yet to come!

Family is everything. Happy to see this for Rodgers!!

@tommygramm @CALLAS_33 He conveniently missed my home runs in the next at-bat. Clip is coming soon.

@CALLAS_33 @AustinRBechtold Tell me you took more videos…

I have the pleasure of watching @AustinRBechtold play wiffleball tonight

The rare “everything hit off Braxton Ashcraft is scoring a run or two” outing

Guys and girls, I don’t think Esmerlyn Valdez is a fluke.

Bryan Reynolds…

So goodbye AL and NL??

These numbers are staggering for Esmerlyn Valdez. He is in pretty good company.

Limits reaches his limit after a caller suggested trading Bryan Reynolds. @AustinRBechtold @jhathhorn

The #Pirates bullpen has blown 18 saves, but not as many as other contenders. @jhathhorn @AustinRBechtold Listen: audacy.com/podcast/the-po… Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=yEalAG…

Someone called in and suggested trading Bryan Reynolds. I can't take it anymore. Can we please be ok with KEEPING good players and trading prospects??

93.7 The Fan insider @jhathhorn is reporting that the national report saying the Pirates will be aggressive only if they don't add payroll is not true. Jeff is hearing the Pirates are not on a huge payroll restriction.

Most home runs in their first 31 games with the Pirates: Esmerlyn Valdéz - 12 Garrett Jones - 11 Brian Giles - 10 Most RBI in their first 31 games with Pirates: Reb Russell - 42 Valdéz - 32 Billy Southworth - 32 (1918, before RBI were an official statistic)

Paul Skenes with arguably his most important start of the year. Great performance from him.

Billy Cook legacy day. What do you say.

The Billy Cook game, featuring BB.

Nightengale: Rival executives are convinced the Padres will move Mason Miller.

So, trade Ozuna to create money elsewhere.

Pirates bullpen, 2026 Saves - 19 Blown saves - 18
