About this Episode
Matt and Steve are talking about this week in sports updates, including:
- The Riverhounds took its first USL loss of the season 1-0 to Nashville, but had a 0-0 tie with Penn FC after.
- The Riverhounds returned home for the weekend with the Richmond Kickers.
- Pitt Baseball made it to the Final 4 of the ACC tournament, but lost to Louisville.
- It seems that the ACC has elevated PITT in smaller non-mainstream collegiate athletics.
- Mark Madden wrote an article on Sullivan and Kessel.
- In PGA news, it's the last week in the Forth Worth Invitational.
- Justin Rose won with a -20.
- Steve got to check out some of the Memorial at Muirfield Village “Jack's Place”
- It's fun to see the pros do some of the same things Steve does.
- The NHL Stanley Cup Finals!
- Game one went to the Knights with a back-and-forth game with a 6-4 final, and game two went to the Caps 3-2.
- Tom Wilson of the Caps had a few questionable hits in game one - especially the one on Jonathan Marchessault.
- Ryan Reaves' punch to the nose in front of the Caps net in game two sent a message to the not-so-nice Wilson.
- The NBA Finals started. It's the 4th straight year of the Warriors and Cavs in the final.
- The first game went to overtime, and Lebron had some issues with it.
- Hill made the tying free throw and missed the second with 5 seconds left on the clock.
- Cleveland passed the ball around and looked like they were playing keep-away to protect a win they didn't have.
- On the replay, JR Smith said he thought they were ahead.
- In OT the Warriors go on a 7-0 run, and end up with Klay Thomson ejected and the Cavs losing.
- Steelers' OTAs continue and the rookies are getting to learn the play book and figure out their exact positions.
- Jerald Hawkins, the back-up OT, was carried off the field with a ruptured quad. Third pick, Oakafore, is now up for the position.
- Jake McGee also limped off the field with injury.
- Most of the stars of the team (the “Skilled Position Players”) were absent for the second week of OTA’s, but that was no shocker.
- 1978 throwbacks.
- The Pirates lost 2 of 3 to the Reds, 2 of 3 to the Cards, and 2 of 3 to the Cubs with some drama on the base pads in the Cubs series.
- The Buccos are still above 500 by 2 games and 6.5 back in the division.
- The offense was solid, Polanco had a 3-hit night.
- Cervele and Bell went yard, but Vasquez gave up the winning HR in the 9th.
- The Pirates sitting Austin Medows when Marte came back over Polanco might be a mistake.
- The bullpen is suspect, and the offense has cooled a bit with some brained moves on the base pads.
