Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrew Heaney

NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros. The Pittsburgh Pirates were swept by the Padres and now sit at 12–23, prompting serious concerns about the direction of the team. In this episode of the North Shore Nine Postgame Show, Jim and Ryan react to another miserable loss that featured sloppy defense, baserunning blunders, and a lifeless offense that couldn't get anything going—even against a Triple-A pitcher making his first MLB start. They discuss Andrew Heaney's rough outing, what worked out of the bullpen, and why the same mistakes keep happening with no accountability from the coaching staff. The guys dive into Derek Shelton's and Ben Cherington's role in this mess, and whether it's time for real change. They also touch on fan apathy, lack of urgency, and the broken culture that's growing more obvious by the day. If you're still watching this team, you're not alone.

Post-Gazette insiders Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley recap the Pirates' series victory in Anaheim, Calif., over the Angels. The recap begins with a look at Andrew Heaney's early dominance, then transitions into highlighting the consistent production the Pirates are now receiving from the top third of their lineup from names like Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds and Andrew McCutchen. The duo then discusses the roster moves made by the team Thursday afternoon, which included Jack Suwinski being optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis and Mike Burrows and Matt Gorski being called up to the big-league club. The video is concluded with a series preview for the Pirates' upcoming three-game set against the Dodgers this weekend. How will Paul Skenes fare in his homecoming game against Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and the defending World Series champions? Can he outpitch Yoshinobu Yamamoto?

Heaney in four starts in 2025 delivers an ERA of 2.13 with WHIP of 0.91. The left hander fans 22.4% with 6.1% walks. Ground balls dealt at 43.9% with limited home run damage.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles previews the team's three-game series on the road against the Los Angeles Angels this week. With the team in a slide, will Derek Shelton seek to find more consistency with the lineups he puts out, eschewing the strategy of off days we've seen for players like Oneil Cruz and Andrew McCutchen already this season? What can we expect from the Pirates' probable starters in this series — Bailey Falter, Andrew Heaney and Carmen Mlodzinski? Is this Mlodzinski's last chance to prove he can be a viable option as a starting pitcher? With the Angels likely to start former Pirate Tyler Anderson and former Pirates farmhand Jose Soriano this series, what does it say about the current state of the organization in Pittsburgh? Noah gives his scouting report of the Angels, who so far this season have showed power at the plate thanks to names like Mike Trout, Logan O'Hoppe, Kyren Paris and Taylor Ward but have struggled out of the bullpen. Noah answers those questions and more.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley break down the Pirates' series win over the Washington Nationals, in which they won three of four games, which concluded Thursday afternoon with a 1-0 win. Paul Skenes, Mitch Keller, Bailey Falter and Andrew Heaney all gave the Pirates quality starts in the series, but how long can a strong starting rotation be expected to carry the team's lackluster offense? Is Oneil Cruz the answer to the club's leadoff spot woes, as the center field hit two home runs, including a grand slam, in this series? And what other changes could manager Derek Shelton make to the lineup to try to generate more runs? Our duo discusses those topics and more.

Williams in three starts on the campaign carries an ERA of 7.36 with WHIP of 1.77. The right hander strikes out 16.2% with 4.4% walks.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles previews the team's four-game series against the Washington Nationals this week. Are Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller in must-win situations following the weekend sweep vs. the Cincinnati Reds? Can Skenes bounce back from his rough start last week vs. the St. Louis Cardinals? And what should we make of fellow rotation members Andrew Heaney and Bailey Falter? Noah tackles those questions; offers injury updates on Joey Bart, Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz; ponders call-ups for prospects including Matt Gorski and Nick Yorke amid a promotion for Henry Davis; and offers stories to watch from the other dugout with the Nationals.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles and sports columnist Jason Mackey stream LIVE from Miami ahead of the club's MLB Opening Day matchup with the Marlins at loanDepot Park. How will Paul Skenes look after a dominant spring training? What about the rest of the rotation -- which includes Mitch Keller, Bailey Falter, Carmen Mlodzinski and Andrew Heaney -- in the absence of the injury Jared Jones? Are Oneil Cruz, Andrew McCutchen, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Bryan Reynolds and the offense prepared to take a step forward? And what will young players including Endy Rodriguez, Jack Suwinski and others prove in 2025? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

On their weekly podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey react to repeated criticism of the Steelers by former RB Najee Harris. Should we be surprised at his bitterness toward Mike Tomlin, Arthur Smith and the team he leaves behind? Or is he right about the culture and facilities being an impediment toward team success? On the QB front, should GM Omar Khan really want Aaron Rodgers as his protracted decision making process shows a lack of enthusiasm for joining the team via NFL free agency? And how fractured must the relationship with Russell Wilson be that the team still won't turn to him? As March Madness begins without Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia, which program is in the best position to return next year? The worst? And what should the Penguins' goals be for the remainder of the season as their Stanley Cup playoff hopes look bleak? Our duo tackles those question, then talks Pirates. Did GM Ben Cherington bet too hard on the team's rotation amid the potentially serious injury to Jared Jones? Will the rotation led by Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller manage without him? Who are the best options to fill out the rest of the group? Veterans like Bailey Falter and Andrew Heaney? Or youngsters like Thomas Harrington, Bubba Chandler and Carmen Mlodzinski? And why is Jason bullish on the Tommy Pham signing and how he could influence young players like Henry Davis, Jared Triolo and Jack Suwinski?

Post-Gazette insider Noah Hiles reports on MLB breaking news that SP Jared Jones has been sidelined for the rest of Pirates spring training with elbow discomfort. Manager Derek Shelton made the announcement early Wednesday. What details do we know about the injury so far? What could it mean for the makeup of the rotating with Opening Day just eight days away? If Jones is forced to miss significant time, who could take his spot in the rotation alongside names like Paul Skenes, Andrew Heaney and Mitch Keller? Could it be prospect Thomas Harrington? Or converted reliever Carmen Mlodzinski? Noah tackles those questions and more.

We'll discuss Oneil Cruz's big day at the plate with a home run, two walks, and a stolen base, and dive into the impact of Johan Oviedo's injury on the rotation. Plus, we'll cover Andrew Heaney's debut, the new bullpen arm Justin Lawrence claimed off waivers, and spring performances from other players like DJ Stewart and Billy Cook.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin discuss their key takeaways from the team's 12-4 loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday afternoon at LECOM Park in Bradenton, Fla. Newly signed left-hander Andrew Heaney made his Pirates spring training debut, and it didn't go well. What caused Heaney to give up four earned runs and three walks in 1.2 innings? Should we be concerned about that? Plus former Pirate Quinn Priester started for the Red Sox and earned the win, showcasing velocity we never saw during his time in Pittsburgh. Where was that version of Priester during his time at PNC Park? Billy Cook made an excellent play in center field Tuesday. Could his defensive versatility give him a better chance of cracking the opening day roster? Our duo answers those questions and more.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to analyze discontent in the Steelers fan base over coach Mike Tomlin, owner Art Rooney II and the franchise's recent drought of NFL playoff wins. Do any moves GM Omar Khan could make this offseason matter as long as Tomlin is the coach and Rooney is the owner? Or will the franchise be doomed until big changes are made? And if there's hope, what moves could Khan make in NFL free agency, the NFL draft or the trade market to improve the mood of the fan base? Is it a splash at quarterback with options including Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers? A move for a big-time receiver opposite George Pickens? A new anchor for the defensive line? Or a proven cornerback opposite Joey Porter Jr.? Our duo ponders those questions, then pivots to Penguins. What's the most disappointing piece of their performance coming out of the break for the 4 Nations Face-off? Is it the goaltending with Joel Blomqvist and Alex Nedeljkovic? Struggling defensemen like Erik Karlsson? Or simply the effort level surrounding stars like Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? Then in the third segment, airing on the new PG Pirates YouTube channel, Adam and Jason toss around some Pirates topics. Would it make sense to sign free agent first baseman Anthony Rizzo, given the team's need at that position following the Spencer Horwitz injury? Or is Rizzo and other free agent options like Jose Abreu or Yuli Gurriel too far past their prime? What does Jason think of the Andrew Heaney signing? And what does it mean for the depth of the rotation? Could the Pirates get creative to try to limit innings for Paul Skenes, Jared Jones and Mitch Keller?

Andrew doesn't think signing Andrew Heaney means the Pirates will trade a starting pitcher. It addresses a need for another left-handed starter. Andrew thinks it's between Henry Davis and Jason Delay for the backup catcher job.

The Pirates signed Andrew Heaney to a one-year deal to be in the starting rotation. Does this mean the Pirates could trade a young starter to enhance the offense? Austin would not promote top prospect Bubba Chandler until late May or early June.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Chris Carter doesn't see Pitt moving off Pat Narduzzi or Jeff Capel for at least two more seasons because of financial implications and this will require much more fundraising. The Pirates signed Andrew Heaney to a one-year deal to be in the starting rotation. Does this mean the Pirates could trade a young starter to enhance the offense??

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Andrew Destin doesn't think signing Andrew Heaney means the Pirates will trade a starting pitcher. Andrew thinks it's between Henry Davis and Jason Delay for the backup catcher job. New Pitt AD Allen Greene is in a difficult spot with Pat Narduzzi and Jeff Capel signed through 2030.

We had a few moves this week. Justin Turner signed with the Cubs. Will that affect Matt Shaw? Ty France signed with the Twins. Will he be a starter?

Aaron Judge no jugará con los Yankees hasta marzo, lo que genera dudas sobre su preparación para la temporada. Mientras tanto, Juan Soto sorprendió a Brett Baty regalándole una camioneta a cambio del número 22 en los Mets. En el ámbito televisivo, ESPN y MLB han decidido terminar anticipadamente su contrato de transmisión al finalizar esta temporada. También, el sistema ABS debutó en un juego de Cubs vs. Dodgers, con Cody Poteet siendo el primer lanzador en solicitarlo y ganar una decisión. Además, Cubs vencieron 12x4 a Dodgers en un partido donde el lanzador Bobby Miller salió golpeado en la cabeza por una línea. En cuanto a movimientos de jugadores, Andrew Heaney firma con los Piratas, Nick Anderson con los Cardenales, Ryan Yarbrough con los Blue Jays y Rowdy Tellez con los Mariners.

Hour 1 with Dorin Dickerson: Dorin didn't know what to expect with the 4 Nations Face-Off, but it completely blew away his expectations. He wants them to do it every 2 years and try to make it better with Russia in the tournament. Can they replicate this success in future years? The Pirates have signed left-handed starter Andrew Heaney to a one-year contract worth over $5 million.

The Pirates signed Andrew Heaney to join their rotation as a veteran lefty. It's actually a move they should be applauded for a little bit, but let's not give them an A on the project. Poni pointed out some other lefties that have come to town the last few seasons and how this guy could be an actual asset. You can never have enough pitching, but it's hard to play every game to win 3-2 or 2-1. It feels like the Pirates are in a division that is winnable, so can they take it?

The 4 Nations Face-Off was a great tournament for hockey and brought eyes to the game. Austin Bechtold explains why he loved the tournament and what the next stretch of tournaments SHOULD look like. The Pirates signed left-handed pitcher Andrew Heaney.

In this episode, we dive into the biggest MLB offseason questions, starting with the Los Angeles Dodgers. If the consensus was always Dodgers, what was the point of trade discussions? Does this Roki Sasaki crack the Opening Day roster, and how will LA deploy him to maximize their chances? We also debate the Dodgers' World Series odds: Are they truly the best on paper, or does the field of 29 other teams have the edge in a playoff gauntlet? History suggests it's not so simple—only six teams since 2000 with the best regular-season record have claimed the title. Shifting gears, we look at how teams like the Padres, Giants, and Diamondbacks should strategize their baseball operations with the Dodgers looming over the NL West. Plus, we break down free-agent fits for the division, including intriguing names like Nick Pivetta, Jack Flaherty, and Max Scherzer. And of course, we touch on the futures of Clayton Kershaw and Andrew Heaney. Don't miss this jam-packed episode full of hot takes, smart analysis, and the latest buzz around MLB's most competitive division! (Thumbnail photo credit Luke Hales/Getty Images)
