Send a textStep into a hidden studio in western Pennsylvania and a sunlit shrine in Bradenton as we sit down with Pirates legend Steve Blass for a ride through memory, ritual, and the stories that make baseball feel like home. Steve opens up about retirement with Karen, the sanity of walking a quiet golf course, and the strict joy of a 4:30 happy hour that turns every day into a small celebration. The conversation moves with the ease of an old friend call—Jeopardy at 7:30, classic sitcom reruns, and an honest, can't-look-away take on Tiger King—before we step into his museum of moments.The memorabilia tour is a time machine. We see Steve vaulting Freddie Patek, co-managing a fantasy camp win with Bob Walk, and a row of gleaming Ford Thunderbirds circling the Forbes Field track in 1967. He brings out rare Pittsburgh artifacts from a traveling baseball school with Honus Wagner and Wilbur Cooper, proof that the game's roots run deep and loud. We laugh at Eddie Feigner's King and His Court showmanship and share the kind of clubhouse humor that still rings true.Then the stories deepen. Steve remembers Willie Stargell's grace, a dugout snapshot at Three Rivers, and an Oval Office visit with President Nixon after Roberto Clemente's death to support the dream of Ciudad Deportiva. He reflects on how Clemente's vision could have reshaped Puerto Rico for generations. Finally, we stand on the dugout roof for the last day at Three Rivers, a World Series ring catching the light as thousands sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game. It's a portrait of baseball as community: history preserved in photos, laughter, and a city's voice lifted together.If you love Pirates history, Roberto Clemente's legacy, and the human side of a World Series pitcher, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who misses Forbes Field or Three Rivers, and leave a review to tell us which memory hit you the hardest.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!!www.holdmycutter.com

Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason talked about Termarr Johnson being sent back to minor league camp and thinks he still is in good standing in the organization. Jason said Johnson is only 21 and will likely start in Triple A, so he's not behind schedule. Jason believes the plan is for Nick Gonzales to play SS to begin the season, assuming Konnor Griffin isn't here yet. What kind of options do the Pirates have to improve their defense? Jason disagrees with some of the others that cover the team and he feels like Griffin will begin the season at Triple A. Jason doesn't have a ton of concerns with the Pirates outfield, including Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds. Do the Pirates have any worry about Paul Skenes throwing a lot of pitches in the World Baseball Classic?
Doug & DiNardo wrap up the NS9 trip down to Bradenton by discussing the 2 games that were played today. Bubba Chandler started for the Pirates split squad playin in Dunedin vs. the Blue Jays while Braxton Ashcraft started at LECOM facing the Phillies. Both pitchers put up a solid performance to build on this spring. The offense was pretty light but some players to highlight were Ryan O'Hearn, Jake Mangum, Jared Triolo, and Duce Gourson. The bullpen let down both teams, but it was mostly by pitchers who are much further away from making the big league roster. Isaac Mattson and Brandon Bidois both pitchers well in their time on the mound. We also interviewed Braxton Ashcraft as well as Joey Bart. We also provide Don Kelly's presser today before each game.

Nate & DiNardo are live from LECOM Park before today's split squad action at LECOM Park. While half of the players are in Dunedin taking on the Blue Jays, Braxton Ashcraft and the rest of the Pirates will be facing the Phillies here in Bradenton. So far, Ashcraft has allowed 1 earned run in the 5 innings he has pitched. What are we looking for from him today as well as the upcoming season? What about the lineup that still features a majority of guys you assume to get everyday at bats? Although Konnor Griffin is in Dunedin, the trio of Reynolds, Lowe,and O'Hearn continue to plug the middle of the lineup. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As the Pirates' rotation picture starts to come into focus, the fifth starter battle is heating up in Bradenton. Jose Urquidy, Carmen Mlodzinski, and Hunter Barco are all making their case — and Barco's strong Sunday outing added even more intrigue to an already tight competition. But the story doesn't stop there. The Pirates' pitching depth has been one of the biggest developments of camp, with prospects like Antwone Kelly, Wilber Dotel, and Kristian Curtis all flashing in early looks. With Neil and DiNardo arriving in Bradenton for their first full week on site, they share what they're watching most closely over the next few days — from rotation clarity to rising arms and roster battles taking shape. Spring Training is rolling, and the pitching picture is getting clearer by the day. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're LIVE from LECOM Park in Bradenton for another North Shore Nine Spring Training check-in, presented by FanDuel. DiNardo and Doug soak in the vibe at the ballpark and dive into what they're seeing up close, starting with Mike Clevenger taking the ball and what his role could look like as camp rolls on. From there, the conversation turns into the bigger picture stuff that actually matters right now: how this pitching staff could shake out, what the Pirates need most from their arms, and why certain roster decisions might come down to fit as much as talent. The guys also hit on the lineup groups we're expecting to see plenty of this season, what's standing out early in camp, and a few spring-storyline trends that are already starting to feel real. If you're following the daily grind of spring training and want the on-the-ground perspective from Bradenton, this one's for you. In this episode: Live show from LECOM Park in Bradenton Mike Clevenger's outing and where he fits Early spring pitching/roster picture and what to watch next Lineup observations and players trending the right way Spring Training vibes, fan talk, and the little things you only catch at the park Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jim is joined by DiNardo back in Bradenton as the NS9 Spring Training crew transitions into “shift two” with new faces arriving and others heading out. They recap a winning weekend the hard way (two road games on Florida's east coast with no TV feed) as the Pirates move to 8-2 in Grapefruit League play, highlighted by Konnor Griffin's third homer of the spring and a big swing from Jhostynxon Garcia. The guys dig into what they're seeing from Garcia early (patience, loud contact, not a lot of some swing-and-miss) and why Griffin's impact keeps getting louder. Then it's all about the arms: Hunter Barco's encouraging outing against St. Louis and what it means for the fifth starter conversation, plus strong work from Antwone Kelly and Khristian Curtis as spring roles begin to take shape with several players leaving for the WBC. They close by previewing a packed week of NS9 coverage from Bradenton, including Bucco Brew, daily pods around the games, and another NS9LIVE from The Cut Golf & Grill on Wednesday night.

The Pirates take down the Orioles 6-1 in Bradenton, and this one belonged to the “Young Bucs” late. Jim and Tyler break down the seventh-inning rally, standout base running, and why the prospects made the difference. We also dive into a strong day on the mound as Mitch Keller and a parade of relievers keep Baltimore in check, plus thoughts on Konnor Griffin's 0-for-2 that still featured loud contact and good at-bats. Then: MLB Network's Lauren Shehadi joins the show from Pirates camp to talk the vibe around this team, the Griffin hype, the NL Central outlook, and why Pittsburgh feels different this spring.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley report from spring training in Bradenton, Fla., and examine a couple of newcomers in Jake Mangum and Jose Urquidy. How has Mangum been able to make a strong first impression since arriving from the Tampa Bay Rays with teammate Brandon Lowe? What's his role? Will he be able to find a spot in the outfield amongst Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds and Ryan O'Hearn? How did Urquidy look in his Pirates debut? Does his experience give him a leg up in the battle for the fifth spot in the starting rotation alongside Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller? Or does a younger pitcher like Carmen Mlodzinski or Hunter Barco have a better shot? Our duo tackles those topics, then discusses former Pirates manager Derek Shelton appearing in the opposing dugout on Thursday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
The Pirates close out Thursday with a 6–4 win over the Twins and a familiar face in town, as Derek Shelton returns to spring training and sparks some conversation. Tyler and Doug break down Jose Urquidy's first outing in a Pirates uniform, why spring results matter less than the process, and how the shortstop competition is pushing Nick Gonzales to another level. They also dive into early spring standouts like Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz, Spencer Horwitz, and Jake Mangum, who continues to look like a guy that can help this team win games in multiple ways. Plus, you'll hear Tyler's sit-down interview with Mangum on his approach, his “A-swing,” and how he earned the nickname “The Mayor,” along with Cody's conversation with Nick Cimillo that mixes some fun Jersey debate with real hitting insight. Finish it off with Don Kelly's postgame presser, thoughts on the pitching mix, and why the vibes around camp feel very different in 2026.

Pitchers and catchers are officially back, and Pirates baseball is underway in Bradenton, Florida.

Pirates insider Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Jason is taking in the early workouts in Bradenton after pitchers and catchers reported yesterday. Nick Castellanos just got released by the Phillies, but Jason does not anticipate the Pirates having any interest there. Jason does not think talks have begun between the Pirates and Konnor Griffin on a contract extension. Jason guessed it would need to be close to the Roman Anthony deal with the Red Sox, which was worth $130M total. Jason said there is a ‘very good chance' Griffin is on the Opening Day roster and he will have every opportunity throughout the spring, similar to Jared Jones, to prove it. Jason said there are no questions defensively for Griffin and he can play a mix of shortstop and outfield. Jason is a little less optimistic that the Pirates will sign a left-handed pitcher before the season begins. He projected that they have ‘maybe a half dozen' options at 3B outside of the organization. Jason has the Pirates as an 84-85 win team right now.
Sidney Crosby has begun his quest for a third Olympic gold medal as Canada blanked Czechia, 5-0 earlier today. Poni had a big question for people in Pittsburgh – are you rooting for the United States or Canada? It sounds silly, but a recent poll showed that 40% of Penguins fans are rooting for 87 to win another gold. Team USA doesn't have anyone from the Penguins current roster, but it has a former coach and Stanley Cup champion in charge. Mullsy got annoyed late in the segment and decided he would also root for Canada and Crosby. Do callers want Team USA hockey to win gold or another one for Sidney Crosby and Canada? One wild man said he wouldn't care if Crosby broke his leg in the games. Pirates insider Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley report from the first day of spring training in Bradenton, Fla. They recap a busy day of comments from players and coaches as well as on-field action with the Grapefruit League opener looming later this month. How is starter Jared Jones looking in his return from injury? What changes has Mitch Keller made to his routine amid offseason MLB trade rumors? What did Paul Skenes think of the moves GM Ben Cherington made this offseason to acquire bats like Marcell Ozuna, Ryan O'Hearn, Jake Mangum and Brandon Lowe? What did manager Don Kelly have to say at the start of his first season at the help? Did top prospect Konnor Griffin look big-league ready?

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi talked about her experience at Super Bowl LX. Aditi commented on Joey Porter taking a shot at Ben Roethlisberger, and possibly adding a jab at James Harrison. Aditi talked about some things heard in the Steelers facility during her time covering the team closely. She noted, as we have before, how Ben was only once voted Team MVP. Aditi already wasn't convinced about Ben being a first ballot Hall of Famer and stuff like this won't necessarily help matters. Aditi doesn't think there is another Sam Darnold in the 2026 free agent field, but said Malik Willis is her most intriguing name.
