Alex Stumpf breaks down why Mitch Keller's latest evolution matters more than one rough spring outing. From a changing pitch mix to a different mindset on the mound, this episode looks at how Keller is adapting, why his work against left-handed hitters still matters, and why the Pirates may not need him to be flashy, they just need him to be steady. For a rotation full of upside, Keller's value might be in being the reliable innings-eater who keeps the whole thing together.

Alex Stumpf takes a closer look at one of the more complicated long-term questions facing the Pirates: second base. Brandon Lowe helps fix a major need for 2026, but what does that mean for Nick Gonzales, Nick Yorke, and Termarr Johnson moving forward? Alex breaks down why Gonzales' fastball issues matter, why Yorke still has something to prove, and how Termarr's development could shape the Pirates' infield plans beyond this season. If the Pirates are going to solve second base internally, someone has to emerge.

On today's OffBeat with Alex Stumpf, Alex digs into one of the biggest unanswered questions on the Pirates roster: catcher. Even after an aggressive offseason, Pittsburgh didn't address a position that remains loaded with uncertainty. Alex breaks down why Joey Bart may be the safest option in the room, why Henry Davis still has real upside despite the offensive concerns, why Endy Rodriguez remains one of the biggest wild cards on the roster, and why Rafael Flores is intriguing but still far from a sure thing. This episode gets into the floor vs. ceiling debate, what the Pirates need from Bart offensively, and why this entire position group could swing from weakness to strength depending on how a few major questions are answered.

Alex Stumpf takes a deep dive into one of the Pirates' most interesting spring storylines: Carmen Mlodzinski's case for the fifth starter job. Alex breaks down why the 2025 starting experiment fell apart, what changed in Mlodzinski's pitch mix, and why his splitter could be the key to handling left-handed hitters this time around. He also looks at the bigger rotation picture, the other names in the mix, and why Pittsburgh may have more to gain by giving Mlodzinski another real shot to start.

Tonight on NS9LIVE!, we're building our full prediction for the Pittsburgh Pirates' Opening Day 26-man roster. Jim is bringing out the Jimalytics to break down every spot on the roster - catchers, infielders, outfielders, starting pitchers, and relievers - using spreadsheets and logic to decide who's making the trip north and who could be left on the outside looking in. Before that, we'll welcome Alex Stumpf back to the show to tease the launch of his brand-new North Shore Nine weekday podcast, Off Beat with Alex Stumpf, which officially debuts tomorrow. Alex's new show will deliver a quick, beat-writer-style Pirates perspective every weekday in a 15-minute format, and while he's with us, we'll talk a little Pirates ball as well. And of course, we'll bring another edition of the NS9 Really Stupid Question segment. Opening Day is getting closer, roster decisions are heating up, and we've got plenty to sort through tonight on NS9LIVE!

In the debut episode of OffBeat with Alex Stumpf, Alex dives right into the biggest Pirates storyline of the moment: Konnor Griffin. Is the 19-year-old phenom truly forcing his way onto the Opening Day roster, or is the hype getting ahead of the reality? Alex breaks down what he's hearing, what he's seeing, and why Griffin's spring has created a very real conversation about Pittsburgh's future. From the excitement around his talent to the fastball concerns, service-time implications, and possible extension talk, this episode explores every angle of the Pirates' toughest spring decision. If you want a grounded, connected, beat-writer look at the story everyone in Pittsburgh is talking about, this is the place to start.

North Shore Nine is excited to announce a new addition to our podcast lineup: Off Beat with Alex Stumpf, launching next week. The new show will bring Pirates fans a fresh daily perspective straight from the ballpark, with Alex delivering reactions, insights, and observations from around the team in a quick, easy-to-listen-to format. Episodes are expected to run around 15 minutes, giving listeners a shorter daily option to fit into their routine while still staying informed on everything happening with the Pirates. During our announcement podcast, Alex said the goal is to make Off Beat part of a Pirates fan's regular day, offering a mix of immediate reactions and informed analysis from someone who is around the team on a daily basis. That is exactly why we are so excited to bring him to North Shore Nine. At NS9, we have always been proud to offer a fan-driven perspective through our live shows, postgame coverage, and podcasts. Adding Alex gives us another layer — a plugged-in, on-the-ground voice that brings a different kind of insight to our audience. For us, this also feels like a natural fit. There is a lot of history here, a lot of mutual respect, and a shared love for talking Pirates baseball. Off Beat is another step forward for North Shore Nine as we continue to grow and give fans more ways to stay connected to the team. The first episode of Off Beat with Alex Stumpf drops next week.

Two weeks into spring training, the Pirates' offseason moves are starting to feel real. Tonight on NS9LIVE!, we are LIVE from The Cut Golf & Grill and we look back at what Ben Cherington did this winter - and what we're already learning from the new faces in camp. Jhostynxon Garcia (“The Password”) has popped early, Brandon Lowe and Jake Mangum look like exactly what this roster needed (and maybe more), and Ryan O'Hearn has brought confidence while comparing the vibe of this club to those Orioles teams that took off. Plus, Marcell Ozuna's leadership is already making an impact across the clubhouse - especially with Oneil Cruz. We'll also welcome Alex Stumpf to the show for his spring training insight, camp takeaways, and what he's watching closely as roster battles heat up. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nate and Neil discuss all that happened today at LECOM Park. Mike Clevinger got the start and pitched very effectively. On top of that, Carmen Mlodzinski pitched in today's game and sat down with DiNardo to talk his focus on 2026 as well as the potential of starting again. Alex Stumpf also joins in to talk a little more about Carmen, the young bucs who hit back to back homers in today's game, as well as the Don Kelly postgame comments.

Tonight on The Point, DiNardo is joined by a loaded panel featuring Alex Stumpf of MLB.com, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Platinum Key from Bucco Territory, and our own Neil for a high-stakes Pirates debate. We dive into the biggest questions facing the Pirates in 2026, starting with a bullpen that no longer includes David Bednar or Caleb Ferguson. Can this group still be trusted late in games? Then, we hand the panel an extra $10 million and ask: what moves would actually turn this roster into a real playoff contender? Finally, with Jared Jones expected back early in the season, we debate how the Pirates should handle his return if the rotation is already full. If you care about where this team is headed in 2026, this episode is for you.

Tonight on NS9LIVE, we're joined by Pirates beat writer Alex Stumpf to unpack the sudden wave of controversy surrounding Andrew McCutchen's future in Pittsburgh. Stumpf recently shared on Reddit that frustrations on both sides could make a 2026 reunion unlikely — only for Cutch himself to jump in on X and reply, “wow that's news to me.” We'll break down what this all means, whether fans should actually be worried, and how the Pirates might navigate this crossroads with a franchise icon. Plus, we're diving into the trade machine: ESPN's proposed Mitch Keller–for–Bryce Eldridge deal. Is it real? Is it fair? And would the Pirates ever consider moving their Opening Day ace for a top-20 prospect? Insight, reaction, and a little therapy — all happening live.

The Pittsburgh Pirates wrapped up their 2024 season with a loss in New York which led them to the exact same wins total of 2023 - 76. With the offseason now upon us, what do we think the very first move this organization should take? Isiah Kiner-Falefa was not in the starting lineup yesterday while being 4 plate appearances shy of a $250,000 bonus. Both he and Derek Shelton have said they gave him the option to play, but was that the right move? Lastly, every year Alex Stumpf from mlb.com releases a Sporcle quiz to name every single player that played for the Pittsburgh Pirates. As always, we take a crack at it live on air.

Alex Stumpf returns to the show and makes a special announcement :-o With the recent news on Gary Sanchez signing with the Brewers for 1-year $7 million + option, we go a bit in depth on how that not only helps the Brewers, but also how another signing the Pirates missed out on continues to hurt their chances to compete within the NL Central. We also catch up with Alex, talk about the Pirates offseason together, and how things are going ramping up for Spring Training. LIKE and SUBSCRIBE with NOTIFICATIONS ON if you enjoyed the show!
