#JoshNaylor could’ve done for the current Pirates what Russell Martin did for the 2013-14 young Bucs — put them over the top & into the postseason. Martin’s $17M/2yr deal also means Naylor would’ve cost the same or even less! (That’s $32M/2yr in today’s $.) Well played, Mariners

Little Mort — the face on ESPN2 looked just like the Mort we knew 40+ years ago, covering the Braves. Congrats on the upset. Keep it up, Coach. #AlexMortensen

Ex-Pirates manager Derek Shelton is already hosting Loud Outs on MLB Radio. That’s almost as quick and smooth as transition as Paul Skenes to the bigs. Waytago, Shelty.

Longtime Pitt football media relations head E.J. Borghetti is moving to a different job in the university, ending a distinguished 28-year run promoting Pitt athletics. He will be a special assistant to the senior vice chancellor for external relations at Pitt.

@Be_Believing Oh, sure, it’s easy to have such a nice, free swing when you’re only wearing a pull up

Take that, #72Dolphins — I went 18-0 and won my fantasy league. By large margins (though I was lucky this past Week 2 of the Championship round that my opponent benched a 40-point Drake London). #fantasyfootball #ffnow

Saturday at the #WYEP Summer Music Festival, I met the @GoDuquesne mascot, the (Aqua?) Lion Duke… nearly 30 years after I debuted the infamous & short-lived Duke the Bear mascot costume. Somehow that mascot moment has been lost to either history or a fire of questionable origin.

Bill Cowher is the special Pittsburgh guest at NPR’s Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me taping at the Benedum Center

A ballcap salute to the late #LarryLucchino, Pittsburgh guy. But which ballcap?: Orioles, where he got Camden Yards built & a baseball renaissance started; Padres; or Red Sox-where he helped to bury a Curse. FJ Lucchino sent this pic: one of my stories on Larry, next to Yaz. RIP

Rest in peace, Mort, a long-ago Atlanta Journal-Constitution stable mate. #ChrisMortensen and John McGrath on the Braves remain one of the greatest duos on a beat I’ve ever seen. Good journalist, writer and dude. https://t.co/bbfu5WbnqA
