- Ben Roethlisberger: "I gave Cam a big hug and told him it’s on him now. It’s his job to pass it down and to keep teaching and holding guys to the Pittsburgh standard."
- Joe Musgrove with an interesting quote on the Astros' sign-stealing mess: "If MLB did an investigation as thorough as they did on the Astros with every team in baseball, they’re going to find a lot more than they want to find."
- Might be the lightest crowd I’ve seen during my time on the beat (since May 2019):
- I asked Aaron Judge if he saw any of himself in Oneil Cruz. Judge: “I saw someone better.” OK, then.
- Paul Skenes meeting with a World War II veteran on the field here at PNC Park.
- Phil Kessel: "The fans gave me a warm welcome. I love this city. I love them. They treated me great here."
- Steelers are 3-0 Pitt is 4-0 Penn State is 3-0 Last time that happened before now: 1982.
- I don’t run the Pirates. If I did, this look a couple minutes before first pitch would scare the hell out of me:
00:00 - Dave Parker wrote a poem for his Hall of Fame induction that he asked his son, David II, read. It's flat-out incredible. Here's the transcript:
- Phil Kessel on what he did this summer: "Same old shit, ya know?"
- Pirates and Bryan Reynolds have reached an agreement on a long-term extension, per sources. Eight years. $106,750,000. More to come.
