NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros.

Spencer Horwitz kept swinging a hot bat, while late-game heroics from Joey Bart and IKF sealed the deal — and yes, we're giving away sandwiches. Tyler and Ryan break down all the key moments, from Suwinski's bounce-back night to Oviedo's rust, plus why the bottom of the order came up huge.

Paul Skenes took the mound today and looked dominant through 5, and then the wheels came off. We discuss the pitching, the lack off offense from everyone not named Peguero, and Donnie Ball.

NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros. Paul Skenes was downright filthy. Tyler and Jim break down another dominant outing from the Pirates ace, who tossed six shutout innings with nine strikeouts and stranded every runner the D-Backs put on. We dive into the ridiculous stats behind his start, his historic first-inning dominance, and why the NL Cy Young race might be his to lose. The offense also showed up. Bryan Reynolds had one of his best games in weeks, Oneil Cruz continued to flash superstar potential, and Tommy Pham stayed hot. The guys discuss Reynolds' importance to the team's future, Cruz's post-All-Star break turnaround, and how this team looks heading into the trade deadline. Oh — and the Pirates just held the Diamondbacks scoreless for an entire series.

The Pirates blank the D-backs 2–0, and we're breaking it all down. Oneil Cruz delivers the big blow with a 2-run homer, and Andrew Heaney—likely making his final start as a Pirate—throws a gem that no one saw coming. We talk about Heaney's rollercoaster season, the bullpen stepping up, how David Bednar and Dennis Santana have been light out, and how the Pirates continue to stay afloat despite offensive struggles. Plus: what's the realistic trade return for Heaney? And is Cruz finally starting to click at the plate? All that and more in tonight's postgame breakdown.

Plus: • David Bednar's dominance continues • Spencer Horwitz is on fire • The Tigers get Pirate-y • Caleb Ferguson struggles, Matson bounces back • Doug's eternal life secrets revealed (sort of)

The Pirates shut out the Tigers 3–0 behind another electric outing from Paul Skenes, who lowered his ERA to 1.91. Neil and Doug break down the win, discuss the state of the offense (still no extra-base hits), and question if the front office is capable of building around this generational ace. They also dive into trade deadline strategy, bullpen dominance from Dennis Santana and David Bednar, and the continued mismanagement of Henry Davis. Is this what the Pirates were supposed to look like? Or just a temporary illusion?

The Pittsburgh Pirates were just swept by the White Sox, and it's pushed the fanbase to the edge. In this episode of Bucco Brew, we dive deep into Ben Cherington's tenure as GM, and ask the question: why is he still making decisions for 2026? We also recap another brutal series loss and preview what's ahead against the Tigers. It's time to hold this front office accountable.

North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brothers. The Pirates return from the All-Star break with… that performance. Tyler and Doug break down the brutal 10-1 loss to the White Sox—aka the second-worst team in baseball—on a night where Bailey Falter faltered, the offense was lifeless, and Joey Bart couldn't catch a break (or a strike). We vent about the total lack of energy, question the Pirates' catcher situation, and give a well-earned tip of the cap to Isaac Mattson for showing actual heart. We also touch on Oneil Cruz's solid night, IKF doing IKF things, and how many more days of this roster we really have left before the trade deadline changes everything.

The All-Star break gave Pirates fans a lot to chew on — from Oneil Cruz's 513-foot bomb in the Home Run Derby to Paul Skenes dominating the first inning of the Midsummer Classic. Cruz tied for first in the opening round before falling in the semis, while Skenes went 1-2-3 with two strikeouts in a perfect debut on the national stage. We also break down the new Home Run Derby swing-off format and whether MLB should expand it beyond the All-Star Game. But the break wasn't just about spectacle — it also marked the beginning of trade season. The first domino has officially fallen, with Adam Frazier being dealt to the Royals in exchange for Triple-A shortstop Cam Devanney. Could this signal more moves to come? We also dive into the Pirates' 2025 MLB Draft haul, headlined by high-upside righty Seth Hernandez at No. 6 overall. We cover key Day 1 picks like Angel Cervantes and Murf Gray, plus some of our favorite Day 2 names. Does this class reflect a shift in draft strategy, and how do these players fit into the system? Finally, we preview the upcoming White Sox series as the Pirates return to action and gear up for what could be a pivotal few weeks before the trade deadline.
