Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley details his conversation with reigning Cy Young Award winner Paul Skenes about the state of MLB's current labor negotiations and the possibility that games could be lost in the 2027 season. He also explains the competing proposals and the implications of each on the Pirates. Would owner Bob Nutting, GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelly be better able to compete in a salary cap system? Would it be more likely for stars like Skenes, Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz, Braxton Ashcraft and Konnor Griffin to stay in Pittsburgh long term? And would the team be able to make more impact signings like Brandon Lowe and Ryan O'Hearn in free agency? Colin tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Bryan Reynolds carried the Pittsburgh Pirates back from a four-run deficit with four hits and two home runs before Brandon Lowe launched the go-ahead homer in the ninth to complete a wild 6-5 win over the Athletics. Neil and Doug break down Reynolds' huge night, Mitch Keller's polarizing start and the disastrous first-inning defense that nearly buried the Pirates. They also discuss Endy Rodriguez's growing case to become the starting catcher and a bullpen that finally protected a lead, even if Gregory Soto made the ninth more stressful than necessary.

Jake's back on the mic and we had a full MLB slate to chew through. The A's jumped out early on the Pirates, Zach Gelof stayed hot, and then the bullpen let another one slip away. The Rockies gave us the bright spot of the day with a win at Wrigley, while the Tigers wasted a good Framber Valdez start and opened up a bigger conversation about Detroit's rotation and bullpen decisions. We also get into the rest of the league: Jesús Luzardo dealing for Philly, George Springer hitting career homer No. 300, the Yankees hammering the White Sox, Logan Gilbert shoving for Seattle, Reid Detmers blanking Arizona, Shohei Ohtani supplying the only run in a 1-0 Dodgers win, and the Giants apparently sliding into full fire-sale mode. Then we look ahead at today's games, the A's-Pirates rubber match, Rockies-Cubs, Tigers-Astros, a few weekend series worth watching, and the World Cup crowds taking over American cities. The dog days are here. The ball is flying. Trade rumors are heating up. It's a damn good time to be a baseball fan. Move your ass. We're burning daylight. In this episode: A's blow an early lead against Pittsburgh Bryan Reynolds and Brandon Lowe power the Pirates comeback Zach Gelof keeps swinging a hot bat Rockies beat the Cubs at Wrigley Tigers waste a strong Framber Valdez start Jake breaks down Detroit's rotation questions Phillies, Blue Jays, Yankees, Mariners and Dodgers all make noise Shohei Ohtani wins a 1-0 game with one swing Giants trade rumors and possible fire sale talk Today's MLB slate preview World Cup crowds bring chaos and energy to American cities Learn more about your ad choices.

Brandon Lowe has hit 17 home runs, provided strong defense at second base and become one of the most important players in the Pirates' improved offense. Despite that production, Lowe sits outside the leaders in the first All-Star voting update. Alex Stumpf examines the cases for Lowe, Bryan Reynolds and Paul Skenes, the crowded National League field and why Pittsburgh's eventual selection might not accurately represent what has powered the 2026 Pirates.

The Pirates pulled off one of their best wins of the season, overcoming Shohei Ohtani and a 6-1 deficit against the Dodgers behind Tyler Callihan's first two Major League home runs. But the bigger story is Oneil Cruz. Alex Stumpf breaks down Cruz landing on the injured list with a fracture, why the reported 4-6 week timeline may not be as simple as it sounds, and how big of a loss this is for a Pirates offense that has relied heavily on his power, speed and on-base ability. With Cruz out, the Pirates now have real questions in center field. Can Jake Mangum hold it down? Does Jhostynxon Garcia get another shot? Could Esmerlyn Valdez force his way back up with the bat? And how much more can the Pirates realistically ask from Brandon Lowe, Ryan O'Hearn, Bryan Reynolds and Spencer Horwitz? This episode of OffBeat looks at why there is no easy replacement for Oneil Cruz and why the Pirates' postseason push just got much tougher.

Marcell Ozuna was supposed to be one of the Pirates' biggest offensive additions this offseason, but through more than 200 plate appearances, the production still has not been there. On today's episode of OffBeat, Alex Stumpf looks at Ozuna's slow start, how it compares to past veteran struggles from Rowdy Tellez and Tommy Pham, and why the DH-only profile makes this situation different for the Pirates. Brandon Lowe and Ryan O'Hearn have become major pieces of the lineup, but Ozuna's bat still has not followed.

The Pirates were supposed to be built around pitching, but through early June, it has been the offense carrying them. On today's OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down how Pittsburgh's lineup has become one of the better units in baseball, why Ryan O'Hearn, Brandon Lowe, Spencer Horwitz, Endy Rodriguez, Nick Gonzales, Oneil Cruz, and Konnor Griffin have helped change the identity of this team, and why the pitching staff has not taken the step forward many expected. After a rough series against Atlanta, the question is no longer whether the Pirates can score enough. It's whether Mitch Keller, Bubba Chandler, Paul Skenes, Dennis Santana, and the rest of the pitching staff can get back to being the strength this team was built around.

Are you concerned about Paul Skenes? The Pirates ace starts tonight against the Dodgers and he has not been his dominant self in his last few outings. How much do his numbers match up with what he has done in his first few seasons? With numbers dipping a little bit, are people worried about Skenes every 5 days? ESPN has released its initial MLB All Star Game projections and the only Pirates rep is Paul Skenes. The Pirates do not have a hitter included, not even Brandon Lowe. Does it irk you that the Buccos have very little representation? The game is still over a month away. PM Team Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. Rumors of Aaron Donald making a return to the NFL are heating up. How far does he have to go before becoming the greatest defensive player of all-time? Is Madison Square Garden the best American sports venue? Nick doesn't believe there is an issue with Paul Skenes and thinks we will see Skenes shine tonight against the Dodgers. Nick crushed the Brendan Sorsby situation after he was ruled eligible for the 2026 season.

This show is presented by FanDuel. How can manager Don Kelly right the proverbial ship with the back-to-back World Series champs coming to PNC Park? Are there any moves left to make with Gregory Soto, Dennis Santana, Carmen Mlodzinski and others within the struggling bullpen?

And what else are the guys watching as Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz, Brandon Lowe, Ryan O'Hearn and the offense look to lift the team out of its latest skid? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

They'll look back at what went wrong, preview the upcoming Dodgers series, and go through the latest updates on Konnor Griffin, Brandon Lowe, and Oneil Cruz. But the main conversation is the bullpen. The Pirates keep getting enough starting pitching to stay in games, but the back end continues to cost them. At some point, this can't just be something they talk around. It needs addressed.

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.

Alex Stumpf revisits the Pirates' biggest offseason swing: the Brandon Lowe trade. After Lowe homered against Mike Burrows and the Astros, it feels like the perfect time to look back at why this move mattered so much for Pittsburgh. The Pirates needed left-handed power, real lineup impact, and a win-now message to the clubhouse. Lowe has delivered all of that, while also helping make Pittsburgh a more serious landing spot for Ryan O'Hearn. Alex breaks down how the trade came together, why the Pirates' offseason may have looked very different without it, what Lowe's power pace means historically, and why this move stands out as one of the rare aggressive Pirates trades aimed directly at winning right now.

One day after Nick Herbig inked his $100M+ extension with the Steelers, Alex Highsmith missed practice. Steelers PR quickly got ahead of the narrative stating that Highsmith was ‘sick.' If a team approached the Steelers about trading Highsmith in exchange for a 2nd round pick, should they say Yes? Are fans buying the ‘illness' excuse for Alex Highsmith today at practice? One legendary caller said the Steelers are the ‘North Korea of the NFL' because they have an answer for everything. Bucco Minute – Another big night for the Pirates last night, beating the Astros 10-6 in Houston. Home runs from Endy Rodriguez, Oneil Cruz and Brandon Lowe. Mike Burrows started for the Astros and did his usual (not great). The guys can't get over how big the Buccos have won a trade. Should the Pirates prioritize Cruz or Lowe if they need to pay someone $200M?

Did Paul Skenes, Braxton Ashcraft, Mitch Keller and Bubba Chandler and the starters do a good enough job mitigating the struggles of the bullpen? How low of a mark did Yohan Ramirez, Dennis Santana, Justin Lawrence and the bullpen get? How did outfielders Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz and other fare in the absence of Ryan O'Hearn? And what did Colin see from infielders including Konnor Griffin, Nick Gonzalez, Brandon Lowe and Spencer Horwitz? He tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Konnor Griffin was arguably the Pirates' most valuable position player in May, tying for the team lead with 30 hits, batting .306, and finishing just behind Brandon Lowe in fWAR. Now, he starts June on the injured list. Alex Stumpf breaks down Griffin's rapid rise, the adjustments that fueled his strong May, why this injury matters more than some of the Pirates' other setbacks, and how thin the internal options look without him on the left side of the infield.

The Carmen Mlodzinski situation puts pressure on Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones to be much better. We hear from Mike McCarthy after the first day of Steelers mandatory minicamp.
The Pittsburgh Pirates somehow found a way to beat the Minnesota Twins, 10-9, in one of the wildest games of the season. Jim and Tyler break down the Pirates jumping out to a 7-1 lead, Mitch Keller's rough outing, the Brandon Lowe ejection, Jake Mangum's huge day, Spencer Horwitz continuing to thrive in the leadoff spot, Nick Gonzales staying hot, and Gregory Soto locking down the four-out save. It was chaotic, frustrating, ridiculous and somehow still a Pirates win. Jim and Tyler will be live immediately following today's game between the Pirates and Twins.

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.

The guys wonder why the Steelers mysteriously fired a coach today. And Nick Farabaugh joins the show for his weekly Steelers segment. Hour 2: Should the Pirates extend Brandon Lowe after this season? Matt Clement joins the show to break down the Pirates' recent bullpen moves. Was Dom popular in high school? And Dom plays a Super Bowl game with the guys, but is Chris checked out for it?

Carmen Mlodzinski seemed pretty down in the dumps after getting moved to the bullpen yesterday. 93.7 The Fan MLB Analyst Matt Clement joins the show. Matt says that it is reasonable for Mlodzinski to be upset about getting moved to the bullpen. Matt also says that it would not be smart for Jones' recovery to have him pitch out of the bullpen. He thinks that Mlodzinski did not deserve getting moved to the pen and thinks that he is upset about the money he can be missing out on. Matt thinks that it is smart for the Pirates to not extend Brandon Lowe right now, as he would be getting overpaid. He also thinks that both a salary cap and floor would help the Pirates a lot.

The Pittsburgh Pirates had a chance to keep momentum going, but another bullpen collapse turned a winnable game into a frustrating loss. DiNardo and Neil break down why the issue goes beyond Don Kelly's decision-making and points directly to the construction of the bullpen, especially the lack of reliable right-handed relief options. They also discuss Bubba Chandler's continued command issues, the strain his short starts put on the bullpen, Brandon Lowe's impact, Konnor Griffin's opposite-field home run, the lineup questions around Nick Gonzales and Marcell Ozuna, and why the Pirates need to find answers fast if they want to stay in the race.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss whether or not they believe the Pirates should get 2B Brandon Lowe a new contract with his current one expiring after the season ends.
BREAKING: Evgeni Malkin is back. The legend is re-signing with the Penguins on a 1-year deal. We all like the move. Now what's next? Is there another big move coming for Kyle Dubas? We are still over a month away from the start of NHL free agency and the Penguins big off-season question has already been answered. We have some of the contract details on the new Evgeni Malkin deal. It is 1-year, $5.5M with some bonus incentives mixed in. A few calls on the deal. PM Team Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. Nick said he can count on one hand the amount of times he has issued a cease & desist. Nick reacted to Evgeni Malkin coming back. Should the Penguins pony up for a big name in the off-season? Nick still believes the Pirates will finish at least 84-78, if not better. Who will be the man heading to the bullpen when Jared Jones comes back? Is there a chance Brandon Lowe has a better season than what Andrew McCutchen did in his MVP campaign?

The Pirates moved the start time of their game today to 1:30 to appease season ticket holders, and Jeff Hathhorn thinks it's a great idea. The guys examine where the Pirates stand right now on Memorial Day. Dom explain why Pirates fans are “shoe-drop” fans. Jeff names the MVP for Pittsburgh right now. Should the Pirates sign Oneil Cruz to a long-term deal?
Hour 1: Jeff Hathhorn in for the guys today! Jeff gives a State of the Union Address for the Pirates. Why was today's Memorial Day game start time moved back? And a French Open tennis player went through a scary situation over the weekend.
The Steelers report to camp on July 28th. All practices will begin at 11am. Friday Night Lights has been replaced by Saturday Night Lights on August 8th. Brandon Lowe hit an inside the park home run. Michael McKenry thinks the best way to manage Jared Jones' recovery is to make him a starter, like the Pirates are preparing him to be in the minor leagues. Carmen Mlodzinski is going to do what's best for the team.
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker react to the news that José Berríos has undergone Tommy John surgery before being joined by Pittsburgh general manager and former Blue Jays executive Ben Cherington (13:05) ahead of the Pirates' weekend series in Toronto. He shares his thoughts on the Pirates' season so far, Brandon Lowe's impact, how Konnor Griffin has adjusted to the majors, and Paul Skenes' elite mentality. Then, Jeff and Kevin listen to John Schneider's pre-game availability. Finally, Sportsnet MLB insider Shi Davidi (32:02) shares the latest on Alejandro Kirk's status, what the team expects from Trey Yesavage against the Yankees, Daulton Varsho's recent adjustment at the dish, the plan for Spencer Miles and the fifth spot in the rotation, and what the batting order might look like when the team is fully healthy.

The Pittsburgh Pirates were shut out 6-0 by the Philadelphia Phillies, completing a frustrating sweep in a weekend where just about everything went wrong. Paul Skenes had a rare off day, the offense had no answer for Zack Wheeler, and the Pirates' outfield situation became even harder to ignore. Tyler and Doug break down why this series felt so ugly, what went wrong for Skenes, how the Pirates were outscored 20-1 after the seventh inning on Friday, and why the lineup depth is now a major concern with Ryan O'Hearn expected to miss time. They also discuss Konnor Griffin's continued signs of growth, Brandon Lowe's near-home run, the bullpen, Dennis Santana, Yohan Ramirez, and why Jared Triolo in right field cannot be a long-term answer. Are the Pirates just in a bad three-game stretch, or did the Phillies expose the bigger issues this team still has to fix?

Ryan O'Hearn helped power the Pittsburgh Pirates to a series win over the Colorado Rockies, and his recent swing adjustments may be a major sign for an offense that looks dramatically different from last season. Alex Stumpf breaks down how O'Hearn has fit into the Pirates lineup, why his left-handed power and defensive versatility have mattered, and how the additions of O'Hearn, Brandon Lowe, Marcell Ozuna and Konnor Griffin have helped create a deeper, more consistent offense. Plus, a look at why this Pirates lineup is no longer completely dependent on Bryan Reynolds or Oneil Cruz carrying the entire group.

Something big is happening in scale modeling, and you can feel it in the way builders talk about 3D printing, new subjects, and the shows that are turning into true hobby meetups. We sit down with Brandon Lowe from Squadron to get a grounded look at what it takes to turn a cool idea into a real 3D printed model kit you can buy, build, paint, and display with pride. We talk through two attention-grabbing releases: the 1/48 M2 Cletrac tractor built for airfield scenes, and the 1/35 M5 high-speed tractor that gives armor builders a fresh support vehicle that isn't another “usual suspect.” Brandon shares how Squadron uses early feedback to improve everything from production choices to what future releases should look like, and why IPMS Nationals is the moment where the wider community gets to judge the results. If you care about 3D printed aftermarket accessories, naval ordnance details, or how digital design can finally fill long-ignored gaps, you'll get plenty to chew on here. Then we pivot to what might be the biggest news for model show travelers: Eagle Quest is coming back in Chattanooga as a joint event with the Chattanooga Scale Modelers' ModelCon, and the demand is already intense with vendor tables selling out far in advance. We cover why Chattanooga is such a strong location, how the gold, silver, bronze judging system will be used, and why expanded contest categories like real space vehicles, trains, wargaming, and Gunpla could pull in builders who don't always feel at home at traditional shows.

Tonight on NS9LIVE!, we're starting with the NS9 Really Stupid Question before looking back at some Pirates takes we may need to apologize for. Ty Ty is ready to apologize for saying the Pirates wasted money on Gregory Soto, who has been lights out. DiNardo is walking back even entertaining the idea of trading Mitch Keller. And both are owning up to going under on Brandon Lowe's season home run total after he just launched his 10th. We're also taking a bigger look at Donny Ball as Don Kelly reaches 162 games as Pirates manager with an 80-82 record. What has worked? What hasn't? And what's still hard to figure out? Plus, we dive into the bullpen and ask whether it's time to be worried about Dennis Santana, or if this is just a rough stretch in a long season. @eddiep_photos @timelessimagery.mtl TICKETS FOR OUR JUNE 13TH TAILGATE: https://www.gofevo.com/event/Northshore9tailgate0613 Use Promo Code NS930 for 30% off your first order at https://www.defer.coffee Use Promo Code NORTHSHORENINE for $20 off your first order at https://www.seatgeek.com LIKE and SUBSCRIBE with NOTIFICATIONS ON if you enjoyed the show!
