in this episode of The Buccocast, Josh Taylor welcomes in Greg Finley once again to sub for Jason. Together, the duo go through some Pirates discourse as the club is in absolute free fall. After the dust settles, the pair are left with these questions:

-How the hell did this rotation get this bad?

That's it. That's the question. Because this permeates every single aspect of what the club is going through right now.

We'll also play WALK THE PLANK, give you the floor with our Question of the Week, and bring you ONE LAST THING before we go.

The Buccocast 32: Get out of your Pirates bubble Jul 19, 2019

In the 32nd episode of The Buccocast, hosts Jason Rollison and Josh Taylor combine their powers to talk all things #Pirates with a degree of precision, accuracy and, to be honest, exasperation, all rarely seen on a Pirates podcast!

-What is going on with Josh Bell post-ASB? The answer is both simple and complex.
-Does Jordan Lyles even have any trade value at this point? The answer is both simple and easy.
-The team is slumping out of the All Star Break. What does *the way* that they are slumping tell us, if anything? The answer is both elusive and within reach.

We'll also play WHICH COMES FIRST, give you the floor with our Question of the Week, and bring you ONE LAST THING before we go.
