Podcasts about Bucco

The Pirates drop another series — this time to the Cubs — and we're breaking it all down to open the show. Then we shift gears and ask the big question: is it time to bring up help from Indianapolis? We debate whether Nick Yorke, Billy Cook, or even Jack Suwinski deserve a call-up to shake things up. At the 35-minute mark, Anthony Murphy joins the show to talk Pirates prospects, spotlighting the biggest standouts from the past week across the farm system. We wrap up with a preview of the upcoming series against the Detroit Tigers — can the Bucs get back on track?

Aaron Rodgers is a Steeler. He's here. Now what? Are the Steelers a real contender? What is the ceiling with Rodgers as Steelers QB? Poni, sleep deprived, took a fiery call. More fiery calls on Aaron Rodgers. Bucco Minute – We heard Paul Skenes talk about his future a little bit yesterday.

Bucco Minute – Another Paul Skenes start tonight. What will the crowd look like?

Instead of Aaron Rodgers, who isn't even with the team yet, there is another Steeler facing a pivotal season in his career by the name of Broderick Jones. Chris touted for Jones a few years ago before the draft and so far, he hasn't been great, to say the least, in a Steelers uniform. Will the change to left tackle finally be what the doctor ordered? What does it say about Omar Khan and Andy Weidl if Broderick Jones never works out in Pittsburgh? Bucco Minute – Another Paul Skenes start tonight. What will the crowd look like?

Gabe Davis is visiting the Steelers later this week. How do we feel about this? Chris brought up some concerning numbers for his overall career. Donny said the Steelers made their bed with this when they traded George Pickens a few weeks ago. Bills sideline reporter Sal Capaccio joined the show. Sal gave us the skinny on Gabe Davis after he spent the best part of his career in Buffalo. Sal brought up the great point that many Bills fans didn't want him after he came available lately. Did his big-game performances earn him any points? Sal said there are too many drops in his game. Sal said Davis is a ‘tireless worker,' but there are just too many inconsistencies with his game. Sal told us Davis was used for a lot of downfield passing and not really anything underneath. According to Sal, Davis is a ‘willing blocker' that would be useful in the run game. Sal noted that it is important to remember Davis got released by the Jags with a failed physical diagnosis, which has several teams worried about his health. Sal talked about some of the teams that were originally interested in Davis when he hit free agency. Bucco Auction House – Round 9.

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. We break down just how valuable Captain Cutch has been, what his legacy means in Pittsburgh, and whether a return in 2026 makes sense. Then, we look ahead to the upcoming series against the Astros and close the show with a great conversation featuring Anthony Murphy of Bucs On Deck, who joins us to talk Pirates prospects making noise in the system.

What does the Pirates lineup look like as they try to take the series in Arizona? Is there actually a way for Ben Cherington to save his job?

Helluva comeback last night for the Buccos, beating the Diamondbacks 9-6 after facing a 6-0 deficit after the 4th. A monster night for Bryan Reynolds, 4-4 with a 3-run HR to give the Pirates the lead. Paul Skenes gets the ball today as the Pirates try to take the series in Arizona. Poni highlighted the maturity of Skenes and how it really does feel like the guy wants to win here. We heard some audio from Skenes. Poni wants to see Skenes become AJ Burnett – or have a similar attitude to bring to the Pirates. More thoughts as to what a Paul Skenes trade could look like from another big MLB insider. Where do some of these prospects rank among MLB's Top 100? Bucco Minute – What does the Pirates lineup look like as they try to take the series in Arizona? Is there actually a way for Ben Cherington to save his job?

Was there a QB move the Steelers should have made instead of waiting around for Aaron Rodgers? The list of QB transactions this offseason was underwhelming to say the least. The guys think Justin Fields coming back would have been the most logical move. Should there be any expectations for Roman Wilson this season? What did receivers not named George Pickens do last year for the Steelers? How BAD was the Steelers offseason, according to ESPN? Bucco Auction House – Round 8.

The North Shore Nine crew went live from De Fer Coffee & Tea in the Strip to recap a packed Memorial Day weekend in Pittsburgh, discuss a Pirates-Brewers split, and debate the “what if” scenario of Matt Arnold as GM over Ben Cherington.

Caller claimed they saw Aaron Rodgers leaving a Strip District hotel this morning. That has been the talk of the town. Do we believe it happened? We are getting updates from both sides. Poni gives a bad description of Stranger Things. Listeners weigh in on the Aaron Rodgers sighting. Caller questioned if we don't like Rodgers due to his political beliefs. Bucco Minute – Will Ben Cherington be around by the draft and/or trade deadline? Poni thinks Cherington is gone before we get to those checkpoints on the season because enough people will get in the ear of Bob Nutting to make sure he's not around. Poni said if they don't kill it in the draft or the trade deadline, they will set themselves back even more. Poni's guess is by Independence Day, Cherington is gone.

Poni was confused by TJ Friedl playing in front of hometown fans. Brett Keisel had a video go viral last night, showing the low attendance at the ballpark.

Another lifeless loss from the Pirates last night has this season turning into Groundhog Day. The Reds left PNC Park with a 7-1 win and a few things from last night annoyed Poni more than usual, capped by David Bednar smiling when he's coming off the mound following a bad outing that allowed the Reds to pile on. The guys feel bad for callers like Chuck in Uniontown, who are seemingly stuck loving this team to no end because of whatever reason. The Pirates are alienating fans with every game. Where are fans at on the Pirates right now? Bucco Minute – Poni was confused by TJ Friedl playing in front of hometown fans. Brett Keisel had a video go viral last night, showing the low attendance at the ballpark.

Paul Skenes is electric. He's a superstar. And no, the Pittsburgh Pirates should not even entertain the idea of trading him — no matter what the national media says.

We also dive into Ben Cherington's growing scrutiny as the Pirates continue to underperform, give an update on Jared Jones' injury status, and talk prospects with Anthony Murphy — including who could be next to get the call. Plus, we preview the upcoming Reds series and what needs to change fast. Watch/Listen and subscribe for all things Pittsburgh Pirates. ☕ Powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea

So, did the BIG Steelers announcement today include Aaron Rodgers? It doesn't look like. In fact, it seems like it is an announcement that everyone already knew – that the team will play the Vikings in Ireland on September 28. When will the Rodgers thing happen? The players don't even know. Dan Orlovsky thinks the Steelers have the saddest offense in football. Is that true? We also made the The Herd today, but they messed up the names a little bit.
