The Pittsburgh Pirates crushed the Athletics 12-4, secured another series victory and moved back above .500. Ryan O'Hearn drove in a career-high six runs, Braxton Ashcraft delivered another strong start and Bryan Reynolds continued his scorching month of June. Jim and Tyler break down the complete offensive performance, Ashcraft's evolving pitch mix, Marcell Ozuna's first home run in weeks and Dennis Santana's encouraging stretch out of the bullpen. They also look ahead to a three-game series at Coors Field as the Pirates try to finish the road trip strong. The NS9 Postgame Show is presented by FanDuel and powered by Primanti Brothers.

Crowley's dramatic shot from $5K yesterday was an all-time sports moment. Jack had a great round of golf recently but downplayed it. We analyzed Zangrilli's call of the shot. Callas tried to discourage Jack from betting on an Ozuna home run. Joe is confused about the giveaways, so Crowley helps. Will Lowe be the first Pirate to hit 40 homers since Stargell? Or could he be traded at the deadline. Joe and Pomp are both preoccupied. Will Henry Davis stay on the roster? Will Skenes or Ashcraft lead the Bucs in strikeouts? Would you take Antonio Brown over the other great Steelers WRs? Will Hines Ward ever get into the HOF?

The Sermon on the Mount isn't a list of rules to follow — it's an invitation to something better. Jesus steps onto the scene and redefines everything: greatness, justice, love, and what it truly means to be alive. He didn't come to pile on more religious obligation; He came to fulfill what the Law never could — real transformation, from the inside out. This upside-down Kingdom He describes isn't reserved for the spiritually elite. It's for all of us. And the deeper we step into it, the more we discover it's actually the right-side-up way to live — freely, fully, and together.

The Pirates dropped their second straight game in Atlanta, falling 6-3 to the Braves as Braxton Ashcraft was hit harder than we've seen in a while. Jim and Tyler break down Ashcraft's outing, why the starting pitching has become a concern over the last couple weeks, and how the bullpen at least kept the Pirates within reach again. They also get into the offense's chances against Spencer Strider, Tyler Callihan continuing to provide some useful at-bats, Oneil Cruz drawing three walks, Endy Rodriguez having a rough night, and Brandon Lowe leaving late after fouling a ball off his knee. The Pirates now turn to Bubba Chandler with a chance to salvage the series and finish the road trip at 3-3 before returning home to face the Dodgers.Subscribe to North Shore Nine for daily Pirates coverage, postgame shows, prospect talk, and more.

Communication can make or break trust on a team, especially when the conversation gets tense. In this episode, Whitney Putnam and GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft talk about one of the most common leadership challenges: how to communicate with clarity, candor and care when the stakes are high. They unpack a real moment from a recent GLN all-staff meeting, where a public challenge created tension, required follow-up and ultimately helped sharpen strategy. Whitney and David explore why leaders often think they are being clear when others are hearing something different, how trust makes hard conversations possible, and why "keeping short accounts" can prevent tension from becoming toxic. This conversation gives leaders a practical look at how honest communication, handled with humility and follow-through, can strengthen both the work and the relationship.

The Pittsburgh Pirates completed the sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 9-3 win, and Neil and Doug jumped on the NS9 Postgame Show to break it all down. Braxton Ashcraft continued to look like one of the most important arms on this staff, Ryan O'Hearn picked up right where he left off, Nick Gonzales added a home run, and the Pirates once again showed the bounce-back ability that has defined this stretch of the season. The guys also discuss Carmen Mlodzinski landing on the restricted list, what it means for the rotation and bullpen, how the Pirates should handle Ashcraft's workload, and why the lineup feels deeper with O'Hearn and Brandon Lowe taking pressure off the rest of the group. The Pirates are now four games over .500, the vibes are high, and this team just took care of business against a club they needed to beat.

Ashcraft entered the year with real questions about health, role, and innings, but his consistency has made him one of the most important arms in the Pirates' rotation.

A big win for the Buccos last night, beating the Cubs 12-1 at PNC Park. Another sharp start for Braxton Ashcraft, but is there about to be a problem? Is it a good problem to have? The Pirates have Jared Jones coming back to the rotation, but they have a slew of young arms that are on innings limits. 2 Pirates-Fan contributors have suggested Ashcraft being the man to the bullpen upon Jones' return. That seems like it would be a big much, considering Ashcraft has been the best starter on the team – even better than Paul Skenes.

We haven't heard from usual guest Tyler Kennedy in a few weeks, which has sparked concern about our show. It seems like a few team reporters were swerved by the Evgeni Malkin re-signing.

The Holy Spirit isn't a force you manage — He's a presence you learn to move with. That takes practice: slowing down enough to notice Him, staying honest enough to respond, and trusting Him enough to let go of the life you've been white-knuckling on your own. The flesh wants to prove, protect, and control. The Spirit offers something better — a life that's freer, fuller, and grown from the inside out. That kind of life doesn't happen by accident. It's cultivated, tended, and chosen — one small act of faithfulness at a time.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Bubba Chandler pitched freely against Toronto and we all think Chandler needs to relax on the mound. Michael thinks the next month is very important because the Pirates are going to be careful with innings counts for Braxton Ashcraft and Bubba Chandler. Mitch Keller and Paul Skenes likely want to stay on schedule. Every pitcher is different, but the Pirates might be careful with Ashcraft due to injuries.

The Pirates need to figure out their pitching staff and continue to win big division games!

Braxton Ashcraft was absolutely dominant against the Cardinals, cementing himself as the must-add pitching target on waiver wires. Corey Pieper breaks down the top injury news, studs and duds, the Pitching Planner segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Unfortunately, we will be without Robby Snelling for the rest of this season and perhaps all of next season with Tommy John surgery. It looked like another injury for Ronald Acuna Jr., but that may have just been a scare. In studs and duds, Cade Cavalli matched Ashcraft with a brilliant nine-strikeout performance and Michael Harris crushed two home runs, while veteran ace Sandy Alcantara got completely shelled for six earned runs in a miserable outing. For the Pitching Planner, we break down the upcoming schedules for Landen Roupp, Bubba Chandler, and Cole Ragans to help you target the right arms for your weekend matchups.

Jesus isn't absent — He's ascended, and His Spirit is alive and active in us right now. God has a way of showing up in the places that feel most dead and bringing life back where we least expect it. He sent His Spirit as our Advocate, actively championing our freedom and our flourishing. But a life disconnected from that presence doesn't stay neutral — it drifts. When we stop trusting God, we start grasping for certainty, and distrust has a way of pulling everything apart. The cross is God's answer to all of it — not just a penalty paid, but the worst of humanity absorbed and a brand new way of living thrown wide open. Repentance isn't about shame; it's about coming home. And the Spirit isn't just the promise of what's ahead — He's the guarantee, the guide, and the source sustaining us every step of the way. The most faithful thing we can do is slow down, get still, and pay attention to what God is already doing.

In this episode, the team discusses a new paper on why Clovis hunter/gatherers selected certain types of stone for their points and blades. Then the team welcomes archaeologist Scott Ashcraft to discuss his complex federal whistleblower case against the U.S. Forest Service.  Scott Ashcraft attended Western Carolina University, earning a degree in Physical Geography. In the summer of 1989, he was hired for a major archaeological excavation ahead of the construction of a new elementary school within the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' Qualla Boundary.   After graduating from WCU in 1990, Ashcraft immediately enrolled in a University of North Carolina-Charlotte field school at a large WNC Mississippian site. Over the next three years, Ashcraft worked on a variety of archaeological contract projects from Mobile, AL, to New York City. During occasional work breaks, he returned to Asheville, NC, to assist Dr. David Moore with large salvage excavations at Mississippian town sites across western North Carolina. In 1993, Ashcraft was hired by the USFS (NFsNC), beginning a 32-year CRM career that eventually broadened to include complementary research and investigative interests.  In 1994, Ashcraft founded the North Carolina Rock Art Project, eventually increasing the state's recorded petroglyph and pictograph sites from seven to more than 120. He also advanced major rock art conservation efforts, including Judaculla Rock—the most densely carved petroglyph in the eastern U.S.—and Paint Rock, among the region's oldest pictograph sites. Another primary career passion for Ashcraft was Wildfire Archaeology, a specialized field he helped pioneer by integrating archaeologists into active wildfire operations to assess and protect important cultural resources. This position required intensive firefighter training and physical conditioning so that archaeologists could play an active role in protecting significant sites during the often chaotic initial attack phase of fire conditions.  As the specialty matured, Ashcraft was invited to co-instruct the National Interagency Fire Archaeology Course over several years. Working closely with Tribal partners—especially the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians—was among the most meaningful aspects of his later career, including many collaborative projects important to the Cherokee.  Seven Ages Official Site  Seven Ages Official Merchandise  Instagram  Facebook  Patreon  Seven Ages YouTube  News Link Why did Clovis toolmakers choose difficult quartz crystal?   Guest Links Scott Ashcraft  Scott Ashcraft Go Fund Me     

Bob Walk thinks Paul Skenes is like Greg Maddux. Skenes does have a chance to be one of the best pitchers in history. Braxton Ashcraft attacks hitters. Bob would rather have more run support than elite defense, if he had to choose.

Konnor Griffin is becoming a great player that will likely only continue to get better at the plate. We discuss the Fan Trading Cards with Joe broadcasting at Studio B.

God's Spirit isn't a distant force or a theological footnote — He is alive and at work within every believer, creating, ordering, and breathing life into everything He touches. From the very first moments of Genesis to the mystery revealed in Christ, God has always been moving toward us, and now He moves within us. That changes how we see ourselves, how we arrange our days, and how we respond to what God is stirring around us. The invitation isn't passive — it's to pay attention, align our will with His, and cooperate with what He's already doing. We are empowered people, carrying the very presence of God, and that is both a profound gift and a daily calling.

The Pittsburgh Pirates offense has been night and day compared to last season. They're top five in baseball in runs scored, and six everyday players currently have a wRC+ of 115 or higher. On this episode of Bucco Brew, we break down what has changed, how real this offensive surge feels, and why this version of the Pirates looks so much more dangerous. We also give Braxton Ashcraft the love he deserves. With a 2.77 ERA and the team lead in innings pitched, Ashcraft has been one of the best stories of the Pirates season. If Paul Skenes wasn't in the same rotation, we might be talking about Ashcraft as the ace of this staff. Then we get into the biggest concern right now: the bullpen. Gregory Soto has been lights out, but beyond him, who do you actually trust? Dennis Santana and the rest of this group have been more than inconsistent lately, and the Pirates need answers fast.

The Pittsburgh Pirates finally got the offensive explosion they were waiting for, putting up 13 runs and 20 hits in a blowout win over the San Francisco Giants. Tyler and Neil break down the Pirates' massive night at the plate, another dominant start from Braxton Ashcraft, Joey Bart's revenge game, Nick Gonzales continuing to hit, Oneil Cruz coming through against a lefty, and what this win means for the rest of the road trip. The NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brothers also looks at how the Pirates are finding ways to win even when the offense had been quiet earlier in the week, why Ashcraft is starting to look like a true top-of-the-rotation arm, and how the lineup suddenly looks much deeper when players like Bart and Gonzales are producing.

Leadership doesn't usually derail all at once—it gets hijacked slowly by subtle internal forces like comparison, self-doubt, and misplaced definitions of success. In this episode, Whitney Putnam sits down with David Ashcraft to unpack the internal and external "hijacks" that pull leaders off course. They explore how even confident leaders can fall into comparison traps, how self-doubt often disguises itself in different ways, and why defining success based on others' metrics leads to frustration. This conversation brings leaders back to what matters most: clarifying personal priorities, choosing the right voices to listen to, and aligning success with purpose rather than perception. If you've ever questioned your place, your progress, or your impact, this episode offers a grounded way to refocus and move forward with clarity and intention.

Unforgiveness locks us into a cycle of rivalry, resentment, and retaliation — a world where we measure our worth by what we're against rather than who we're becoming. But God invites us into something better. Forgiveness isn't a feeling or a finish line; it's a journey that begins with honest confession, moves through genuine repentance, and opens the door to real reconciliation. It won't always feel fair, but it honors the humanity of others and creates space for redemption to do what only it can do. Here's the truth we can't escape: the way we receive forgiveness shapes the way we give it. And when we learn to live fully as forgiven, we finally find the freedom to live fully in forgiveness.

The Pirates needed a response after a rough Cardinals series, and they got exactly that with a weekend sweep of the Cincinnati Reds. On this NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Brothers, Tyler and Jim break down the Pirates' 1-0 win, led by a career-best outing from Braxton Ashcraft. Ashcraft went 7.2 scoreless innings, leaned heavily on a dominant curveball, and continued making the case that he has become Pittsburgh's clear No. 2 starter behind Paul Skenes. The guys also discuss Gregory Soto coming up huge out of the bullpen, Chase Burns matching Ashcraft pitch-for-pitch, Konnor Griffin's late double and speed changing the game, and Oneil Cruz delivering the biggest swing of the night with a two-out RBI single in the eighth. After getting swept by St. Louis, the Pirates turned around and swept the Reds while outscoring them 27-8 over the series. Now they head west with some momentum, a much cleaner feeling around the homestand, and a pitching staff that once again carried the day.

Communion reminds us that we all come to God the same way—fully dependent on His grace—and that we belong. From that place of belonging, we're invited into right connection with others, no longer driven by fear of rejection or abandonment. Forgiveness doesn't require everything to be fixed, but it does create space for redemption to begin. Around the table, we remember both God's abundant provision and our deep need for Him, and we step into a kind of community where shame loses its power. Together, we resist unforgiveness, distrust, and isolation—and choose a better way forward.

Braxton Ashcraft turned in one of the best starts by a Pirates pitcher this season, and Alex Stumpf breaks down why it mattered far beyond the box score. From the efficiency, to the pitch mix, to the in-game adjustments, this episode of OffBeat looks at why Ashcraft's latest outing felt like a major step forward. Alex dives into Ashcraft's seven-inning performance, how his slider and sinker worked together, why his ability to self-correct stood out, and what this could mean for the Pirates rotation moving forward. If Braxton Ashcraft keeps pitching like this, the conversation around his role in Pittsburgh is only going to get louder.

Forgiveness is more than just letting something go — it's a declaration that the person in front of you has worth, dignity, and the capacity to change. When God forgives us, He doesn't just wipe the slate clean; He opens the door to a whole new way of relating — to Him and to each other. That kind of forgiveness is what makes righteousness possible, and without it, reconciliation simply can't take root. The Gospel was never meant to be a private transaction between you and God; it's a whole-person, whole-life endeavor that spills out into every relationship we have. The right connections grow from the right people — people who have been shaped by grace and are willing to extend it. And the beautiful thing about God's forgiveness is this: you don't have to have it all together to step into it. You are free to come just as you are.

Strategy can feel intimidating. Maybe it brings up pressure to get it right. Maybe it feels restrictive. Or maybe it's something you've been avoiding because you're not quite sure where to start. In this episode, Whitney Putnam sits down with GLN President and CEO David Ashcraft to simplify strategy and make it practical. Together, they unpack why strategy matters at every level of leadership—and why waiting for perfect clarity might be the very thing holding you back. If you've ever felt stuck trying to "figure it all out" before taking a step forward, this conversation will help you move.
