Pittsburgh Pirates: Rum Bunter Radio 2020 Preview with Michael McKenry

On this feature episode Marty, Nick and Trey welcome former player and current Pittsburgh Pirates television analyst Micheal “The Fort” McKenry.

A new era of baseball has arrived for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and with it a new take on the way players are treated. Relaxed, confident and ready to go; characteristics the new regime of Ben Cherington and Derek Shelton are instilling into the culture of Pirates baseball.

A vital part of the playoff teams Pittsburgh had in the early and mid two-thousands teens, and now in close proximity with the club everyday, McKenry dives into an analysis on both philosophies, and helps you understand each difference in the two eras.
