North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros. Tyler and Doug are back with another North Shore Nine show! We gave away Primanti Bros sandwiches and broke down Mike Burrows' strong start, plus the bullpen led by Carmen Mlodzinski, Kyle Nicolas, Colin Holderman, and Yohan Ramirez. We also reacted to Andrew McCutchen's home run, talked Tommy Pham's presence, and debated whether we believe in Jared Triolo.

Andrew McCutchen isn't holding back. In his recent sit-down at Wrigley with Jose Negron of DKPS, Cutch admitted he doesn't want to “waste a roster spot” and made it clear that the Pirates have to pay to win if they want to take advantage of their pitching window. We dive into what that means for his future in Pittsburgh, how his Milwaukee stint shaped his outlook, and whether 2026 will be his 18th big-league season. Then we shift to Tommy Pham's comments from last night, where he stressed the need for a team-wide offensive philosophy and even pointed to Jared Triolo as someone starting to buy in. Is this really an organizational approach, or just veteran leadership trying to push change from inside the clubhouse? Finally, we zoom out: Are the Pirates actually “close,” like Pham believes, or does Cutch have it right that ownership must finally spend to avoid wasting an elite pitching staff led by Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller? ⚾️ Subscribe for more Pirates talk and North Shore Nine content!

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. The guys had Jason react to the Bubba Chandler promotion and beginning his Major League career out of the bullpen. Jason described the reasoning behind letting Chandler pitch in a relief role before starting. Is there a sense that Andrew McCutchen is not a fan of Ben Cherington? Jason mentioned Cutch may not be doing himself any favors by ripping Bob Nutting a little bit. Do we think the decision has always been made on Cherington's future with about a month to go in the season? The guys asked Jason about some comments made by Tommy Pham off the cuff.
With multiple WR trades taking place in the last 24 hours – and a third if you go back 72 hours, should the Steelers be active in the market? A new name has risen up – Alec Pierce from the Colts. Pierce could be on his way out in a pretty crowded room in Indy. If it took a 4th round pick or a 4th round pick and a middling player, would you make the deal for the guy that led the league in yards per reception last season? KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob thinks the Steelers could go into the season with the WR room as it is, but isn't ruling out Omar Khan making a move as roster cuts take place. Pomp said he wanted to see the combo of DK Metcalf and George Pickens this season, but it wasn't meant to be. Would Alec Pierce be a good fit in Pittsburgh? Bob speculated how much of the starters we would see tonight, including the potential first look at Jalen Ramsey in a Steelers uniform. Who is getting cut? Bob thinks Connor Heyward is on the bubble, but expects the team to find a spot for him. Bob talked about some of the intriguing battles that will conclude soon. Will Kaleb Johnson be on the field at the same time as the starting offensive line tonight? The guys asked Bob about preparation for the preseason games. PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show.

The NS9 Postgame Show Powered By Primanti Bros. Ryan and Cody attempt to shake off their disbelief and break down the Pirates 17-16 loss at Colorado. They discuss the Pirates historic 9-run 1st inning and how they blew leads of 9-0, 12-4 and 15-6. They also talk about Thomas Harrington's rough return to the Majors and Santana's first outing as the main guy since the David Bednar trade as he gives up the game-winning home run. Records, Joey Bart's bizarre stat line, Cruz's grand slam, Cutch passing players on lists and the pitching staff just completely falling apart...it's all there in this postgame recap.

The trade deadline is four hours away and scuttlebutt is abound. Jon Morosi can speak 6 different languages. Mason Miller got traded for a king's ransom, so is it a given that David Bednar will get traded before the show's over? Chris says Ben Cherington is an “ignoramous”. Poni wants to open up the phones, but the only guy on the line is someone labeled “DO NOT ANSWER, GUY KEEPS CALLING”. A caller badly messes up IKF's name. Chris praises Intern Jack, but takes a shot at me. How much faith should we have in Cherington at this deadline? Chris doesn't know if Bednar will ever be as good as he is now. A caller says he would rather give up Bubba Chandler over Bednar. What? Poni has heard a rumor that the Rangers are interested in Andrew McCutchen, but Pittsburgh has said no go. Jason Mackey joins the show to talk about a potential Cutch trade, what he expects to happen with Bednar, who's making the calls behind-the-scenes on trades, and reaction to

NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brothers. The Pirates Win a Wild One in San Francisco | Keller Struggles, Cutch Delivers | NS9 Postgame Show The Pirates take down the Giants 6 to 5 in one of the most entertaining games of the year and Tyler and Neil are here to break it all down Mitch Keller had his worst start in nearly two years, lasting just two innings and throwing 73 pitches. But the bullpen, led by Johan Ramirez, Genesis Cabrera, Isaac Mattson, and Dennis Santana, held the line. Andrew McCutchen delivered the decisive blow with a clutch two run homer, and David Bednar survived a wild ninth to secure the win. We also talk: • Nick Gonzales' early blast • Canario's disaster in right field • Tommy Pham stays scorching hot • Peguero at first (??) • Another moment in the Hall of Fame campaign for McCutchen Oh, and we gave away some Sammies. #RaiseIt

Noah Hiles joins to discuss how the Pirates are feeling after the awful week, Ben Cherington's job security, can he successfully navigate the trade deadline, what type of players the Pirates could target at the deadline, could Cutch get dealt. Will Keller's value be at its highest now or in the offseason?

Will Keller's value be at its highest now or in the offseason? It's almost time for Steelers training camp. Their spending on defense is in contrast to most of the NFL. A caller throws shade at Callas but he had an epic wiffleball call over the weekend. TJ Watt is 9 spots below Garrett on PFF's top 50, could the Packers be a trade partner for the Steelers at WR.
It's another rock bottom for the Pirates after being swept by the White Sox. Can you trust Cherington to handle the deadline? We're on Ben Cherington watch today. His contract could keep him around longer though. We react to Kevin Gorman's comments on the topics. Callers give their thought, including one who still will go to games regardless. More callers are eager to give their take on the Pirates, some are ready for Steelers season. The Steelers announced their throwback jerseys from 33. Another caller is worried about Rodgers staying healthy. Another caller is defending Bob Nutting. Others bring up the missed opportunities to add to the roster recently.

Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss his take on the Steelers new throwback uniforms, what questions he wants answers at training camp, Watt's usage, which young player needs to have a big year, what will be the biggest overreactions in training camp, how bad is Juan Thornhill, which DBs could see extensive snaps, who could be next for an extension. The Sean Segment - Acuna's throw, WNBA players want better pay, Rich Hill is still going, McDavid plays beer league hockey, Erie's minor league baseball team is rebranded. ESPN ranked the best NFL rosters, and the Steelers are surprisingly low. We react to their supposed weaknesses, strengths, and X factors. What are the biggest storylines for Steelers camp - Broderick Jones, Kaleb Johnson, will there be additions at WR/safety, Jalen Ramsey's position. Johnny the Barber challenges Bechtold. Austin went to the Pirates game on Saturday and was mad about the people just there to sell their bobbleheads.
How many under-contract holdouts have there been in Steelers history? If TJ continues what he is doing through training camp, it would be a true holdout. The Steelers won't force TJ Watt to do anything. Poni calls it a “contractual act of war”. Poni also says that there are exceptions to the philosophy that players should make every dollar they can. Mullsy calls TJ Watt's 2024 season “mediocre” for his standards. Mullsy is not mad at the way TJ Watt is handling things. Donny and Mullsy both side with TJ Watt in this situation. Are the Steelers going to cave and give TJ Watt what he wants? The guys discuss if TJ is worth more than Myles Garrett. Poni thinks that TJ will get more, so he is worth more. Should the MLB consider using the All-Star Game's tiebreaker for extra innings in the regular season? Poni says that because it is more entertaining, they should consider it. Mullsy is not in favor. The guys think the Pirates three swing-off players would be Cruz, Cutch, and Reynolds.
NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros. The Pirates drop their sixth straight and get swept in Kansas City with another frustrating 4–3 loss. Jim and Tyler break down the game and the entire series, from Bailey Falter getting barreled to Braxton Ashcraft impressing again out of the ‘pen. We talk about Tommy Pham somehow becoming this team's best hitter, the Royals suddenly finding power, and the brutal reality of another wasted road trip. Plus: Isaac Mattson's costly slider, Cutch's RISP struggles, and what the heck to expect next with Paul Skenes on deck.

BREAKING: The Penguins have made a minor trade, acquiring Matt Dumba from the Dallas Stars. Will the Pens make a big trade at some point to dump one of their bad contracts? The discussion turned to baseball and we centered it around Andrew McCutchen, who is apparently ‘untouchable' at the trade deadline. Cutch has never played in a championship series. Should the Pirates give him that chance? The feeling is surely mutual, but we thought it was bizarre that McCutchen has never gotten a chance to play for the whole thing. Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve said the trade that landed them Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith made them better, even if Minkah Fitzpatrick was part of that cost. Steve is confident that Ramsey is still a good football player and has better positional value than Fitzpatrick. Steve would still play Ramsey at outside corner, but he has the ability to move around with Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay also on the defense. Steve brought up how Ramsey played safety, nickel corner and outside corner during his time at Florida State. Steve explained how Smith can work best in the Steelers offense. How many teams would be in the running for TJ Watt if he really is made available? Steve still thinks Myles Garrett is a better player than Watt and he came with an explanation. Donny Football Debrief – A ranking of the Top 25 NFL teams of the 21st century from Yahoo Sports is just terrible
Rob Manfred is allowed to make one selection to the All-Star Game, but has a special exception to allow more if he wants. Manfred selected Clayton Kershaw, but Jason wanted Manfred to pick Andrew McCutchen as well as a special exception. We want to see McCutchen in one more All-Star Game before he retires. Is this it for Cutch? Should the NFL eliminate everything with the Pro Bowl?
North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brothers. The Pirates drop another close one, falling 3–2 to the Rangers in a game filled with missed opportunities and defensive miscues and Tyler and Ryan break it down. Mitch Keller looked solid early but couldn't escape the sixth, and the bullpen couldn't hold the line. The offense went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position, including back-to-back scoreless innings with chances to tie or take the lead. Oneil Cruz and Henry Davis drove in the only two runs, while Carmen Mlodzinski delivered a strong multi-inning relief outing. We break it all down — from Frazier's misplay to Cutch's brutal strikeout sequence — and ask the big question: when is this team going to start cashing in?

Feels like a Father's Day episode what with weaponry gone awry, novelty shirts made from petroleum products, and Caddyshack references. PCA hits them high and low, and Woody hits them where they don't usually go. Cutch passes Clemente, Manny sneaks up on 2000, and we've got more bfs on the IL than the bench. The Contreras brothers (Contrarians?) do something rare. Kiké speaks out even though the LAD do not, and we note how women's leagues do not hesitate to take a stand. And we crosstrain by buying Immigrant City FC shirts. MLB players speak out about how sports betting has changed fan interactions for the worse. Those nice BOS newlyweds give the Pope a CWS cap and now you know what the regulation Pope headgear is called and why there's a sunroof in the Popemobile.

Dan Zangrilli joins the show to talk about whether Paul Skenes could hit like Shohei Ohtani, who the most disappointing Pirate has been this year, if Andrew McCutchen could get a statue outside PNC Park when he retires, and more!
The Pirates fall 2-1 to the Cubs and the offense once again looks lost. DiNardo and Doug break it all down — from the lineup's lifeless approach to how it feels like watching the same bad movie over and over. Is there any end in sight to the Pirates' offensive struggles? We highlight the few bright spots, including another impressive start for Michael Burrows, and try to make sense of a team stuck in neutral. Tune in as we relive this familiar script… again.

Brownie said it's a forgone conclusion that the technology will be changed by Opening Day 2026.

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.
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?

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.

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 legend Jim Leyland joined the show. Jim said it is always a sad day when a manager gets let go and feels for Derek Shelton being the man out of a job. That being said, he's thrilled for Don Kelly, one of his pupils, getting a big opportunity. Jim's advice to Kelly was to be himself and let the players do their jobs too. Jim hopes that Don can ease some tension in the clubhouse and said you always have to earn it at this level. Jim said you have to do everything you can for the players and if they don't perform, it's time to take them to task. Jim wants to see the Pirates get a little bit creative offensively to cause a spark. The guys asked Jim about consistency in the lineup and how it can impact the usual players. Jim talked about Don's playing experience and how playing every single position will help him with the team. Jim said you can plan for a lot of things in a game, but you can't script it. Jim doesn't believe in the analytics department much and said a lot of his success came more from instinct, watching the game, and working with is assistant coaches. Jim expressed the importance of not overloading the players with too much information and just letting them play the game. Other advice from Jim to Don was to hire an experienced bench coach. The Jim Leyland chat got us talking about cigs. We also heard the words of Andrew McCutchen following the firing of Derek Shelton.

The Pirates drop 2 of 3 in L.A., but there are signs of life: Oneil Cruz is still on fire, Andrew McCutchen looks as steady as ever, and the Bubba Chandler watch may be officially underway. We break down the weird Colin Holderman moment from Saturday, David Bednar's return to the mound, and what Cruz's recent stretch could mean for his long-term outlook. Is Cutch still one of the team's best hitters? And is it time to seriously consider calling up Bubba? Plus: We preview the upcoming home series against the Cubs.
