Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew mccutchen

The Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Jason Mackey size up the NFL free agent wide receiver market now that Aaron Rodgers is officially in the fold for the Steelers as QB. Should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin be targeting Amari Cooper as one of the biggest names remaining? Allen Lazard as one of Rodgers' personal favorites? Or could they still convince Keenan Allen to come to Pittsburgh to play alongside names like DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Robert Woods? Our duo tackles those topics, as well as Jason's column on why Rodgers is the most important person in Pittsburgh sports right now. Then the guys pivot to hockey ahead of the NHL draft later this week. Should GM Kyle Dubas look to trade up? Or hold onto both of his first-round picks? Could he move draft capital to add firepower around Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? Move out bad contracts to guys Erk Karlsson, Ryan Graves and Tristan Jarry? Or could names like Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust be on the trade block? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, Adam and Jason analyze recent hot streaks for players including Spencer Horwitz and Nick Gonzales. Are they sustainable in the long run or just the latest flashes in the plan? Could those two guys preserve GM Ben Cherington's job by playing well? What should manager Don Kelly do with the struggling Oneil Cruz? Why is Bubba Chandler having trouble in the minors? And should Andrew McCutchen have a roster spot with this team next year if he continues to perform?

Joe included Sidney Crosby, Ben Roethlisberger, Evgeni Malkin, Andrew McCutchen, Troy Polamalu. McCutchen is one of only three players in Pittsburgh this century to win an MVP. Malkin won Rookie of the Year, MVP, two scoring titles, playoff MVP, and three Stanley Cups. Mario Lemieux is the only other Pittsburgh sports athlete to win Rookie of the Year, MVP, and playoff MVP.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: James Palmer is hearing there is a chance T.J. Watt gets over $40 million from the Steelers. Paying Watt over $40 million is extravagant. Do the Steelers need to sign Watt before Parsons? Jay Glazer thinks Tomlin-Rodgers is a 'perfect match.' Joe included Sidney Crosby, Ben Roethlisberger, Evgeni Malkin, Andrew McCutchen, Troy Polamalu

Should T.J. Watt be in our top five Pittsburgh athletes of the past 25 years? Watt should be a 3x Defensive Player of the Year. We would have to bump Andrew McCutchen, Evgeni Malkin, or Troy Polamalu. Jeff Patton of Baseball Card Castle joined the show with a Nick Gonzales signed card for Starkey's Card of the Week.

David Samson got roasted by Andrew McCutchen, and JuJu Gotti is here to share his thoughts on the Kevin Durant trade to the Houston Rockets. He also helps us recap an incredible NBA Finals after the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Indiana Pacers in Game 7. Plus, who would make the Hall of Fame of Freds? Learn more about your ad choices.

Evgeni Malkin is reportedly not going to be back with the Penguins following the 2025-26 campaign when his contract is done. Evgeni Malkin trivia. Austin does a decent job. The Pirates have 89 games left and Joe thinks if they add one star bat, they will be a .500 team the rest of the season. Andrew McCutchen said the baseballs are dying at the warning track and he asked the MLB about it and they said there's nothing they can do about it.

On his weekly Pirates mailbag video, Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions, including: Why on Earth isn't Bubba Chandler with the big-league club already? Are his Triple-A starts a waste of time? Are torpedo bats still a thing after they were all the rage early in the season? How will the Pirates utilize the designated hitter spot once Andrew McCutchen retires? Why is the national media so obsessed with the idea of a Paul Skenes trade? Where does the team rank in terms of its use of analytics? Noah answers these questions and more.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg spoke his mind about the bad call in San Diego the other night in the Henry Davis at bat, which was the Pirates last real shot to win the game. Brownie said it's a forgone conclusion that the technology will be changed by Opening Day 2026. Greg talked about the leadership in the clubhouse and why Andrew McCutchen speaking up the other night really meant something. Chris asked Greg about Cutch tying Roberto Clemente for third all-time on the Pirates HR list and what #22 means to the city. Greg thinks McCutchen is Hall of Fame worthy in terms of consideration and says he is continuing to build a strong case. What type of crowd is expected tonight with Paul Skenes on the mound?

Post-Gazette insiders Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley discuss the Pirates' three-game series against the Padres, in which they won one of three but could have realistically won either of the games they lost. Hiles and Beazley start by discussing the overall series and how the team is feeling after blowing a late lead Sunday, then talk about the starting pitching, headlined by a fantastic month of May for Bailey Falter. Beazley compares the series to one earlier in May, in which the Padres swept the Pirates handily. The two conclude with a look at Andrew McCutchen, who had a strong series and tied Roberto Clemente with his 240th Pirates home run.

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.

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.

A claim made earlier by Dan Zangrilli that Andrew McCutchen was the ‘best Pirates player of the generation.' Is it something we agree with? We think it really depends on where you split the lines of a generation. Barry Bonds would have a pretty healthy claim.

We think it really depends on where you split the lines of a generation. Barry Bonds would have a pretty healthy claim. Will Andrew McCutchen get his number retired by the Pirates? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff witnessed Scottie Scheffler win the Memorial Tournament in Ohio this weekend – his third victory in the month. Is anybody close to his level right now? Chris asked Jeff if this is the most dominant run we've seen since Tiger Woods. Jeff isn't sure if he will pick Scheffler to win the US Open due to some other talented names in the field. Who would be Scheffler's biggest threat later this month?

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan joked about the time he was offered an overnight shift in the early days of The Fan. We then got into the Pirates under Don Kelly and how the vibe is up, at least a little bit, with the guys in that clubhouse. Dan said he's not sure if you can simply look at what the MLB club is doing before you decide about your GM. Andrew McCutchen made some history over the weekend and Dan called him the best Pirates player of our generation. He said Cutch is a fringe HOF player, but he isn't sure he'd get quite enough to get in. Dan labeled McCutchen as the most important Pirate of nearly the last 50 years.

The Pirates lost 2 of 3 in San Diego this weekend. But is this team looking better? It feels as if they are playing more entertaining baseball under Don Kelly. Will it be good enough to save the job of Ben Cherington? That wouldn't really be a good thing. The Pirates are 10-12 under Kelly, but it was brutally bad before he took over. If the Buccos do play .500 baseball under Kelly, is that a good thing? What do fans want to see out of the Buccos the rest of the way? What is best for their future?

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.
