North Shore Nine

We're back to wrap up the Pirates' West Coast road trip against the Diamondbacks and Padres before diving into a big moment in franchise history — Andrew McCutchen has tied Roberto Clemente for 3rd on the Pirates' all-time home run list. We break down just how valuable Captain Cutch has been, what his legacy means in Pittsburgh, and whether a return in 2026 makes sense. Then, we look ahead to the upcoming series against the Astros and close the show with a great conversation featuring Anthony Murphy of Bucs On Deck, who joins us to talk Pirates prospects making noise in the system.

Andrew McCutchen ties Roberto Clemente on the all-time Pirates hits list—but the celebration doesn't last long as the bullpen coughs up a late lead in a frustrating 6-4 loss to the Padres. We break down the highs (Cutch's milestone, solid starts from Cruz and Heaney) and the lows (Rainey's implosion, more questionable managing), plus how this bullpen could actually be better today. Watch the full breakdown and let us know what you would've done differently in the 8th inning.

The Pirates delivered one of their most complete performances of the season, shutting out the Padres 5-0 in San Diego. Bailey Falter continued his incredible run with 6.1 scoreless innings, capping off a historic month of May with a 0.76 ERA. The offense chipped in with contributions from top to bottom, including multi-hit games from Oneil Cruz, Andrew McCutchen, and Bryan Reynolds. In this episode of the North Shore Nine Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros., Jim and Doug break down Falter's dominance, the quietly effective bullpen, and signs of life from the lineup. They also discuss how the Pirates are finally stringing together complete games—and what that could mean moving forward. Make sure to subscribe for more postgame breakdowns, analysis, and giveaways.

With Joey Bart hitting the IL and Endy Rodriguez back in the mix, the Pirates' catching situation just got a whole lot more interesting. Tonight, we dive deep into the chaos behind the plate — from Henry Davis' recent surge to Endy's return and what it means for the future. We also check in on the early returns from the Don Kelly era — has anything actually changed since Shelton was fired? Plus: is it time to cut bait with guys like Pham or Triolo? When will we see Dauri Moreta again? And of course, it wouldn't be a North Shore Nine episode without a little Paul Skenes talk. We break down his dominance, the national buzz, and whether we're still somehow underrating him. We wrap things up with a quick preview of the Pirates' upcoming series vs. the Padres.

Paul Skenes is electric. He's a superstar. And no, the Pittsburgh Pirates should not even entertain the idea of trading him — no matter what the national media says. On this episode of Bucco Brew, we break down why Skenes is already changing the trajectory of the franchise and why all these “should the Pirates trade him?” takes are absolutely insane. We also dive into Ben Cherington's growing scrutiny as the Pirates continue to underperform, give an update on Jared Jones' injury status, and talk prospects with Anthony Murphy — including who could be next to get the call. Plus, we preview the upcoming Reds series and what needs to change fast. Watch/Listen and subscribe for all things Pittsburgh Pirates. ☕ Powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea

The Pirates wasted another gem from Paul Skenes, falling 1-0 to the Phillies and getting swept on the road. On today's NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros, DiNardo and Ryan react to a brutal offensive performance that extended Pittsburgh's streak of scoring four runs or fewer to 23 straight games. We break down what went wrong at the plate, why the team can't seem to support elite pitching, and where things go from here. Is this the worst offensive stretch in recent franchise memory? What does it say about the direction of this club under Ben Cherington? Catch the full show for rants, stats, and some hard truths about where the Pirates stand right now.

North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brother's. The Pirates dropped another lifeless one in Philly as Zack Wheeler diced up the lineup for 7 shutout innings. Bryan Reynolds broke up the shutout with a 9th-inning homer, but it was far too little, far too late. Oneil Cruz and Andrew McCutchen combined to go 0-for-7 with 6 strikeouts, and Carmen Mlodzinski once again failed to pitch deep into a game. The offense has now scored fewer than five runs in 22 straight games, and fans are running out of ways to describe just how bad it's gotten. Tyler and Ryan break it all down—Cruz's concerning at-bats, Horwitz's return (and quick hook), the endless carousel at first base, and why it's time to shut down the Mlodzinski starting experiment for good.

The Pirates bullpen strikes again—this time in brutal fashion, blowing a late lead as Pittsburgh falls 8-4 to the rival Phillies. On tonight's NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros, Anthony DiNardo and Jim Rosati break down another frustrating loss. We cover the turning point that unraveled everything, questionable bullpen decisions, and the continued trend of the Pirates failing to close. From lackluster offense to high-leverage implosions, this one had it all—again. Is it time for real change in the bullpen? Is this team running out of answers? Hit play and find out why this loss feels all too familiar.

We're going live to break down another rough series for the Pirates—this time against the Mets. The offense continues to look lifeless, with the usually-reliable Bryan Reynolds being the main culprit. We'll talk through what's going wrong, what changes (if any) should be made, and whether it's time to bring up some help from Indianapolis with Horwitz, Gonzales, and Endy all nearing a return. We'll also touch on another update to the Bucco Bricks fiasco, Paul Skenes being named to Team USA for the 2026 World Baseball Classic, and the latest MLB Pipeline Top 100 update. Then we'll close things out with a look ahead to a tough Phillies series and who needs to show something to stay on this roster.

Rain delays couldn't stop the Bucs tonight as Matt Gorski and Jared Triolo each launched two-run homers to lead the Pirates to a 4–0 win over the Mets at Citi Field. Bailey Falter danced out of early trouble, Chase Shugart held the line in relief, and the bullpen combo of Rainey, Bednar, and Santana sealed the shutout. Alexander Canario had a multi-hit night and cut down Pete Alonso trying to stretch a single in a highlight defensive moment. The NS9 crew breaks down the key performances, evaluates how Don Kelly's squad continues to respond post-swap, and asks the big question: are we finally seeing a spark?

The Pirates fell 9–4 to the Padres in a tough one at PNC Park, and the NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. breaks it all down. From Mitch Keller's rough outing to the bullpen's struggles, we analyze what went wrong and where the team stands heading into the rest of the series. Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds provided some offensive highlights, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with San Diego's explosive lineup. We also dive into some questionable managerial decisions, look at the state of the Pirates' pitching staff, and discuss what comes next as the team looks to rebound.

Former Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson joins the North Shore Nine crew for a wide-ranging, fun, and insightful conversation about baseball then and now. We kick things off with what Jack's been up to lately—coaching in the Appalachian League, mentoring young players, and watching his son Jacob rise through the A's system. From there, we dive into his time in Pittsburgh: the clubhouse culture, his favorite teammates, the highs and lows of being a Bucco, and what made those early-2000s teams so special despite the records. Jack also shares his perspective on today's Pirates, how he'd coach “young Jack Wilson,” and what it takes to build a winning culture from the ground up. If you're a Pirates fan or just love good baseball stories, you won't want to miss this one.

Paul Skenes wasn't himself, and the Pirates let another one slip away. On this NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros., Ryan and Doug break down the Pirates' 8–3 loss to the Cubs in the series rubber match at PNC Park. Skenes walked four, gave up three homers in one inning, and looked uncharacteristically off—all while the offense once again failed to pick him up. The guys talk about Don Kelly's bullpen management in Derek Shelton's absence, the continued struggles from the bottom of the order, and how the Pirates just can't afford to waste Skenes starts like this. Is this team ever going to step up around their ace? Or are we doomed to watch this same movie all year? Hit subscribe for more Pirates postgame shows, interviews, and rants from the NS9 crew.
