Starkey & Mueller

Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. The guys asked Nick about the Tiger Woods situation and Tiger’s defense that he was ‘just looking at his phone’ before rolling his vehicle last Friday. Should we be worried about Bryan Reynolds or is it just another slow start for him? Nick thinks Danny Hurley should have gotten administered a technical foul for contacting an official after the game-winning shot for UConn the other day.

A dominant effort from the Penguins last night, beating the Islanders 8-3 on the road. The Pens are back home tonight as they continue their playoff push. There is now a big question the team faces in the offseason – what do they do with Anthony Mantha? He has 29 goals after a pair last night, but what kind of contract is he looking at? If the contract looks like $30M over 5 years, is there any chance he lives up to it? Is there any chance the Penguins can afford it?

The Pirates salvaged a game in the finale of the series to open the season against the Mets. The big story out of the weekend is the treatment of Oneil Cruz. Are people already being too hard on him?

Is it even worth trading Cruz at this point? Did the World Baseball Classic impact the play of Oneil Cruz in centerfield over the weekend? Is it fair to draw parallels to George Pickens? Calls on Cruz. HOCKEY TALK! Sidney Crosby is a game-time decision and Evgeni Malkin is out. Who is in net tonight? The nerds think the Penguins need 10 more points to qualify for the playoffs.
