Welcome back to Locked On Pirates.Today, host Ethan Smith begins the episode with stating after a dismal defensive season last year that the Pirates should approach the season with a more defensive mindset rather than an offensive one, seeing as the offense may stumble and should have some positives fielding the baseball this season rather than not.Also, the Buccos will have fans to begin the season at 50% capacity, following the Pittsburgh Penguins in allowing fans back into the Steel City venues. How will fans change the game this year and could some players feed off of their energy unlike last season?Lastly, Division Day here at Locked On Sports is tomorrow as Ethan and host of Locked On Cubs Sean Sears discuss the Pirates and Cubs as well as the state of the NL Central.Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
