PGH Sports Castle Podcast: Steelers, COVID-19 and everything in between

Podcast — Welcome back to another episode of the Pgh Sports Castle Podcast! Hard to believe that it’s already October in this crazy pandemic-filled year. Either way, we made it to the home-stretch of 2020 and we’ve got two teams in Pittsburgh that are currently competing.

First up, host Rachael Kriger welcomes back A.J. Menendez, one of the Pittsburgh Steelers writers, to the podcast. Rachael gives a recap of the recent events by the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. At time of recording, Hartford Athletic just defeated Bethlehem with a 90th minute goal.

Why does this matter? This could brew trouble for the Riverhounds.

After falling to Hartford last weekend, the Riverhounds might be on the verge of missing out on a home playoff match. The spot for the Riverhounds in the playoffs is already confirmed, though. However, right now, in Group F, Hartford sits on top.

Both teams have one match left, with the Riverhounds taking on Philadelphia Union II on Saturday. Then, the Riverhounds have to sit by and wait as Hartford takes on the New York Red Bulls II on Sunday. It will be an excruciating wait for the players.

Here’s what Pittsburgh needs to do to claim first place in Group F:

  • Pittsburgh needs to win against Philadelphia, and then Hartford must either draw or lose against New York.
  • Pittsburgh needs to draw against Philadelphia, and then Hartford must lose to New York. (Hartford cannot draw, or they will receive a point).
  • Bonus: If Pittsburgh and Hartford are tied with 32 points, Pittsburgh will likely advance due to goal differential. Hartford would need to score almost 20 goals, as Pittsburgh’s goal differential is 28 and Hartford’s is 5.

Of course, the duo talks about the Pittsburgh Steelers and recent COVID-19 developments with the Tennessee Titans.
