City of Champions editor Matt Gajtka welcomes staff writers Larry Snyder and Zac Weiss for another edition of Burgh Brew, a highly-caffeinated dose of Pittsburgh sports talk, part of the City of Champions Radio network.

This week’s episode looks into the volatile prospects of the Pirates, who – despite being in fourth place in the NL Central – could be considered the favorites to win the division at the all-star break. Matt, Larry and Zac wonder what the Bucs can afford to improve and which aspects of their game could carry them to a pennant.

Also, the guys analyze the Penguins’ offseason and ask if they need to do anything else before training camp begins in the fall. Will Sidney Crosby be fully healthy in time for Game 1? Finally, the trio deliver their Final Thoughts before signing off for the week.
