Podcasts about dinardo

Channel 8 and Channel 6 hold hands awwwww... as Matt DiNardo kicks off the show with Jon Burkett to chat about more storms coming in and why the local weather reporters at all 3 stations do a great job about not over hyping the weather forecasts.

The Pirates finally found their offense in a 9-0 win over the Mets, and Bubba Chandler gave them exactly the start they desperately needed. DiNardo and Ty Ty break down Chandler's six scoreless innings, the continued growth in his fastball command and slider, and why this may have been one of his best starts of the season. They also discuss Ronny Simon providing a much-needed spark, Jake Mangum collecting three hits, Brandon Lowe hitting his 25th homer, Endy Rodriguez's latest injury concern, and strong work from Lake Bachar and Kirby Yates out of the bullpen. Can this finally be the start of the winning streak the Pirates need to get themselves back into the race? The NS9 Postgame Show is powered by Primanti Brothers.

The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped their fourth straight game as their slide continued against the New York Mets. Carmen Mlodzinski struggled in his return to the starting rotation, allowing five earned runs over three innings, while the Pirates offense once again had major problems against a left-handed starter. DiNardo and Jim break down Mlodzinski's outing and debate whether the Pirates need to use an opener the next time he takes the mound. They also discuss another dominant performance from Yohan Ramirez, Luke Weaver's Pirates debut, Ronnie Simon providing a spark, and playoff odds that have now fallen to just 10.3%.

The Pirates dropped three of four games in Milwaukee and have officially fallen into last place in the NL Central. They are now three games under .500, five games out of a Wild Card spot and sitting at just a 12.6% probability of reaching the postseason. Is the Pirates' season already over, or is there still enough time for them to recover? Ty Ty and DiNardo break down how Pittsburgh reached this point and what would need to happen for the team to climb back into the race. Mitch Keller has also been transferred to the 60-Day IL, opening another hole in the starting rotation. Don Kelly announced that Carmen Mlodzinski will return to the rotation and start Friday. Is Mlodzinski the best option, and could removing him from the bullpen create another problem for the Pirates? Plus, Austin Hays, Rob Refsnyder, Mitch Garver, Jorge Soler and Andrew McCutchen have all recently become available. After designating Marcell Ozuna for assignment, should the Pirates take a chance on any of them? @eddiep_photos Download our app! : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-shore-nine/id6771171000 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.northshorenine.app 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!

The Pittsburgh Pirates' problems against left-handed pitching were exposed again in a 4-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Kyle Harrison completely overwhelmed the Pirates, allowing just one hit while striking out 10 over five scoreless innings. Endy Rodriguez finally broke through with a two-run homer, but the offense could not complete the comeback. DiNardo and Neil discuss the Pirates' failure to address this weakness at the trade deadline, the continued struggles throughout the lineup, Paul Skenes' uneven performance and why this loss displayed nearly every concern surrounding the team.

The Pittsburgh Pirates waited until the final hours of the MLB trade deadline before completely overhauling their bullpen. DiNardo, Tyler and Jim react live to the additions of Luke Weaver, Kirby Yates and Lake Bachar, joining the recently acquired Camilo Doval. They break down what each reliever brings, the surprisingly light prospect cost and how the new-look bullpen could be deployed down the stretch. The Pirates undoubtedly improved, but did Ben Cherington do enough? No hitter was added to address the team's struggles against left-handed pitching, no starting pitcher arrived and the news of Mitch Keller's season-ending injury dropped during the show. The crew grades the deadline and discusses whether these moves can push the Pirates into the postseason.

The Pirates picked a terrible time to stumble. After losing both series this past week and dropping five of their final six games, Pittsburgh has fallen back into a hole entering the MLB trade deadline. Jim and DiNardo recap what went wrong, assess the damage in the Wild Card race and discuss how the rough week changes what the Pirates need to accomplish before 6 p.m. They'll also make their final deadline predictions before NS9 goes live at 5:30 p.m. to follow every move through the finish.

The Pirates scored seven runs and still found a way to lose. DiNardo and Jim Rosati break down a pathetic 8-7 loss in Cincinnati after Paul Skenes allowed five runs in four innings, the bullpen blew another late lead and Nick Gonzales made a costly decision at third base during the Reds' eighth-inning rally. They also discuss Ryan O'Hearn's injury, Antwone Kelly's three scoreless innings, strong performances from Jake Mangum and Brandon Lowe and what a four-game losing streak means with the trade deadline approaching.

The Pirates are buyers at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, but how aggressive should Ben Cherington be? DiNardo, Tyler, and Jim rank the available bullpen arms, debate the best platoon bats for a lineup that struggles against left-handed pitching, examine the starting-pitcher market and build three mock trades centered on Kirby Yates, Lane Thomas, Luke Weaver and AJ Minter. Can the Pirates fix their bullpen without gutting the farm system? Is Lane Thomas the right fit? Should Carmen Mlodzinski be included in a blockbuster deal with the Mets? Which prospects should be off limits? Subscribe to North Shore Nine for complete Pittsburgh Pirates coverage throughout the trade deadline and the playoff race.

The Pirates looked dead for seven innings, then somehow erased a 6-0 deficit and forced extra innings before falling 8-7 to the Diamondbacks. Brandon Lowe and Bryan Reynolds went back-to-back, while Brandon Eisert and Ron Marinaccio gave the offense a chance to complete the comeback. A rough start from Bubba Chandler and sloppy defense ultimately proved too much to overcome. Cody and DiNardo break down the comeback, Jared Triolo's costly mistake, Chandler's uneven night, the recent improvement from the bullpen and why the rubber match now feels like the biggest game of the season.

Welcome to Episode 179 of Tablesetters! Today's guest is DiNardo of North Shore Nine, one of the most respected independent voices covering the Pittsburgh Pirates. We first welcomed DiNardo back on Episode 44 in December 2024, and with Pittsburgh sitting right in the middle of the National League Wild Card race as the trade deadline approaches, there was no better time to catch up. For nearly a decade, Anthony has helped grow North Shore Nine from a fan blog into one of the premier destinations for Pirates coverage, featuring podcasts, postgame shows, prospect analysis, videos and in-depth reporting. We begin by looking back on North Shore Nine's recent 10-year anniversary before turning our attention to one of baseball's biggest surprise teams. We discuss how the Pirates have transformed last year's lowest-scoring offense into one of the best in baseball, leading the majors in hits while ranking among the National League leaders in runs scored, RBI, batting average and home runs. We also examine whether seven blown late leads are the only thing standing between Pittsburgh and a playoff spot, or if they expose larger roster issues that still need to be addressed. From there, we dive into the biggest storylines surrounding the club, including Ben Cherington's deadline strategy, reports surrounding payroll, the possibility of listening to offers for Oneil Cruz, and why the bullpen remains the organization's biggest priority as the stretch run begins. Plus: North Shore Nine's 10-year anniversary and how the platform has evolved Esmerlyn Valdez's remarkable breakout and whether he's becoming a long-term cornerstone The impact of Konnor Griffin's injury and why reinforcements could still be on the way Paul Skenes, Braxton Ashcraft, Jared Jones, Bubba Chandler and the outlook for Pittsburgh's rotation Jacob Gonzalez, Spencer Horwitz, Tyler Callihan and the organization's ability to continue developing internal contributors Don Kelly's impact on the clubhouse and why this Pirates team feels different from recent seasons What this season has revealed about the direction of the franchise and whether expectations have permanently changed Before we wrap up, DiNardo reflects on what's next for North Shore Nine, shares his outlook on the trade deadline and gives his prediction for how the Pirates' postseason chase will unfold.

The Pirates enter another “biggest series of the season,” but this one could have legitimate implications in the National League Wild Card race. Pittsburgh sits one game behind the Diamondbacks for the final spot and can secure the season-series tiebreaker by taking two of three at PNC Park. DiNardo and Jim break down the pitching matchups featuring Mitch Keller, Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones, along with why Arizona's struggles against right-handed pitching could favor the Pirates. They also discuss Derek Curiel officially joining the organization, Pittsburgh's plan to unlock more power from its first-round pick and how his under-slot signing helped strengthen the rest of the draft class. Plus, Spencer Horwitz and Endy Rodriguez could be nearing their returns, Esmerlyn Valdez continues to prove his breakout is real and the bullpen remains a major concern before the trade deadline.

Ryan O'Hearn celebrated his birthday with a grand slam, Shawn Ross crushed his first Major League home run and Esmerlyn Valdez continued his remarkable rookie season as the Pirates avoided a sweep with an 8-7 win over the Cubs. DiNardo and Doug discuss the offense finally waking up, Braxton Ashcraft battling through six innings and another late bullpen scare that showed exactly what the Pirates must address before the trade deadline.

The Pittsburgh Pirates finally moved on from Dennis Santana, designating the struggling reliever for assignment while acquiring Ron Marinaccio from the San Diego Padres for $500,000 in international bonus pool space. It is a necessary bullpen change, but it cannot be Ben Cherington's final move before the MLB trade deadline. DiNardo and Tyler break down what the Pirates might see in Marinaccio, whether Pittsburgh can still be trusted to fix struggling pitchers, and why the decision to trade David Bednar looks even worse now. The guys also put the Pirates' difficult stretch into perspective. Despite several frustrating losses and an unreliable bullpen, Pittsburgh is 7 and 5 against the Braves, Brewers, Guardians and Yankees while remaining firmly in the National League Wild Card race. Plus, Spencer Horwitz is nearing a return, the roster decision that could follow, and a preview of an important home series against the Chicago Cubs. @eddiep_photos Download our app! : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-shore-nine/id6771171000 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.northshorenine.app 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!

Bubba Chandler delivered one of the best starts of his young career, holding the Yankees in check over 6.1 innings while throwing only 84 pitches. Then Don Kelly pulled him for Brandon Eisert, and the game quickly slipped away. DiNardo and Tyler discuss Kelly's costly decision, Chandler's continued development, another lifeless performance from the Pirates offense and why Esmerlyn Valdez was one of the few hitters who handled his opportunities correctly.

Ryan and DiNardo break down a huge 4-2 stretch against the Braves and Brewers before reviewing the best, worst and most important developments from the first half of the season.

The Pittsburgh Pirates closed out the weekend with a 14-5 win to complete a three-game sweep of the first-place Milwaukee Brewers. DiNardo and Doug break down Paul Skenes' encouraging start, a ridiculous 10-run fourth inning and huge production from Henry Davis, Jared Triolo and Marcell Ozuna. The Pirates now head into the All-Star break three games over .500 with an offense that continues to produce despite injuries to Konnor Griffin, Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz.

The Pirates have another major injury to deal with after Konnor Griffin is expected to miss about two months. Does that change Pittsburgh's trade deadline plans and force Ben Cherington to target a shortstop? Plus, the bullpen continues to implode while Carmen Mlodzinski remains underutilized, and Mitch Keller turns in another rough outing. Is this just a slump, or has something fundamentally changed?

Ryan O'Hearn delivered one of the greatest offensive games in Pittsburgh Pirates history, blasting three home runs, driving in 10 runs, and helping lead the Pirates to a 12-4 win over the Atlanta Braves. DiNardo and Tyler break down O'Hearn's absurd night, Paul Skenes finally getting run support, the Pirates winning three straight, how this offense keeps producing despite injuries, and why Carmen Mlodzinski's usage in a blowout still raised questions.

Drs. James Dinardo and Hubert A. Benzon discuss the article "Intravenous Lidocaine for Postoperative Pain in Children Undergoing Tonsillectomies: A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial" published in the July 2026 issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia.

The Pirates lost 9-5 to the Nationals, and somehow the offense was not the biggest issue. Mitch Keller was hit hard again, Isaac Mattson struggled out of the bullpen, and the pitching staff continues to look like a much bigger problem than anyone expected. DiNardo, Tyler break down Keller's rough outing, the pressure on Bill Murphy, why the Pirates may need more than just bullpen help at the deadline, and why Esmerlyn Valdez continues to be one of the only bright spots right now.

The Pittsburgh Pirates bounced back on the Fourth of July with a 7-1 win over the Washington Nationals, getting back to .500 behind another strong start from Braxton Ashcraft. DiNardo and Doug break down Ashcraft's outing, Konnor Griffin stealing home, Brandon Lowe's All-Star case, the offense finding different ways to score, the Yohan Ramirez experience, and what this win means as the Pirates try to finally push above .500.

The Pirates have played 84 games and now rank third in MLB in runs and RBI, second in OPS and OBP, and fourth in slugging. Jim and DiNardo break down how this offense has become one of the best in baseball and how sustainable these numbers might be. Brandon Lowe has already reached 20 home runs, while rookie Esmerlyn Valdez has made an immediate impact with five homers and a 1.001 OPS through his first 15 games. Is this finally an offense capable of carrying the Pirates? @timelessimagery.mtl Download our app! : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-shore-nine/id6771171000 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.northshorenine.app 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!

In today's episode, we spoke with Courtney D. DiNardo, MD, MSCE, a professor in the Department of Leukemia in the Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and an associate member of The University of Texas Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in Houston.In our exclusive interview, Dr DiNardo discussed the May 2026 FDA approval of decitabine (Dacogen) and cedazuridine (Inqovi) plus venetoclax (Venclexta) in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). DiNardo outlined numerous important facets of the approval, including its effects on the treatment paradigm, which patients will benefit most, safety considerations with the regimen, and quality of life advantages that have been observed with the combination. Furthermore, she discussed how this approval fits into a larger shift for the AML treatment paradigm and how the AML research field can build upon the approval of this regimen.

Paul Skenes' ERA is nearly a full run higher than it was last season, and people are beginning to wonder whether the Pirates ace is still the same pitcher. Jim and DiNardo dig into the underlying numbers, what has actually changed and how much Pittsburgh's awful defense has hurt him. Then they turn their attention to a bullpen that remains one of the team's biggest problems. The Pirates traded Joey Bart to Atlanta for former Pirate Hunter Stratton, but one familiar arm is not fixing this group by himself. What can Pittsburgh realistically do right now, and how aggressive must the front office become before the trade deadline?

The Pittsburgh Pirates wasted another winnable game at Coors Field, falling 2-1 to the Colorado Rockies after scoring only once and failing to bring home the tying run with the bases loaded in the ninth. Paul Skenes was not at his sharpest, but six innings and two runs should have been enough. DiNardo and Jim break down the game-ending interference call involving Billy Cook, another lifeless offensive performance, Jake Mangum's costly mistakes, how much the Pirates miss Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin, and why Carmen Mlodzinski's two scoreless innings were finally the right way to use him. The loss drops Pittsburgh below .500 and turns the series finale into a must-win game to avoid being swept in Colorado.

FanGraphs prospect analyst Eric Longenhagen joins Jim, Tyler and DiNardo on WNS9+ for a complete breakdown of the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system. FanGraphs recently released its Pirates Top 50 prospect list, led by Konnor Griffin, Bubba Chandler, Seth Hernandez, Edward Florentino and Johan De Los Santos. Longenhagen also described Pittsburgh's system as strong, with star talent at the top, near-ready pitching and several high-upside position players. The guys pick Eric's brain on the biggest names, surprising rankings, potential breakout prospects and which players have the best chance to become legitimate major league contributors.

The Pittsburgh Pirates fell below .500 after an embarrassing 11-2 loss to the Athletics. DiNardo and Neil discuss a complete failure from the players, coaching staff and front office as poor defense, a lifeless offense and another rough Jared Jones start buried the Pirates early. They also examine the continued mishandling of Carmen Mlodzinski, Marcell Ozuna's place on the roster and whether this team can survive the injuries to Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin.

The Pirates scored just 26 runs while going 2-4 against the Dodgers and Marlins. Jim and DiNardo discuss how much the offense is missing Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin and whether this lineup has enough depth to survive without them. Joey Bart appears close to returning, which creates another decision behind the plate. Will Henry Davis continue catching, or has Endy Rodriguez earned a bigger opportunity with a 126 wRC+ this season? They also break down the Pirates' handling of Carmen Mlodzinski. Using him almost exclusively as a scheduled reliever following Jared Jones limits someone who could become a legitimate high-leverage weapon for this bullpen. @eddiep_photos 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!

Jim and DiNardo recap a rough series in Atlanta where the Pirates were swept by the Braves and once again had games get away from them late. 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 were swept in Atlanta after another frustrating loss to the Braves, and this one falls heavily on the offense. Spencer Horwitz opened the game with a leadoff homer, Bubba Chandler gave the Pirates a strong outing behind Mason Montgomery as the opener, but the bats failed to capitalize on multiple chances. Jim and DiNardo break down the missed opportunity in the third inning, Tyler Callihan's rough day, the bullpen decision with Evan Sisk, why this loss is more about the offense than Don Kelly, and what Bubba Chandler can build off moving forward.

Mitch Keller's struggles continued at Truist Park as the Pirates dropped the series opener to the Braves after briefly taking a 3-1 lead. Keller allowed six runs in 4.2 innings, and while the bullpen kept the game from getting worse, the offense went quiet after a three-run third inning. DiNardo and Ryan Alexander break down Keller's recent stretch, why the rotation suddenly feels less stable, the thin margins with this pitching staff, the Pirates offense going silent against Martin Perez, and what the bullpen picture looks like right now.

Carmen Mlodzinski's role with the Pittsburgh Pirates suddenly feels a lot more complicated. After being moved back to the bullpen, Mlodzinski landed on the restricted list, creating a strange situation for the Pirates' rotation, bullpen, and his future with the organization. Jim and DiNardo discuss why Carmen had every reason to be frustrated after losing his rotation spot, why the way things played out afterward is harder to defend, and what this means for a Pirates bullpen that still badly needs help. They also get into Konnor Griffin landing on the IL after his forearm injury did not heal quickly enough for him to throw during the road series, plus Ryan O'Hearn returning much earlier than expected and already making an impact with his bat. Can O'Hearn help soften the blow of losing Konnor Griffin? And where do the Pirates go from here with Mlodzinski? Listen to Bucco Brew for the full discussion.

Jared Jones is officially returning to the Pittsburgh Pirates rotation, but his comeback forced the team into a tough decision: Carmen Mlodzinski is headed back to the bullpen while Bubba Chandler stays in the rotation. On this episode of NS9LIVE, Jim, Tyler and DiNardo break down why the move makes sense for the Pirates, why it still feels rough for Mlodzinski, and what it says about the current state of this bullpen. They also discuss Tyler Callihan being recalled, Esmerlyn Valdez being optioned, the latest concern around Konnor Griffin, and the early stages of MLB's CBA negotiations between the owners and players. The Pirates need Jared Jones back, they need bullpen help, and they need answers fast. This episode gets into all of it. NS9LIVE is presented by FanDuel.

The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped another frustrating game, and it followed a script that has become way too familiar: Paul Skenes gave them a chance, the offense did just enough to keep the game alive, and the bullpen let it get away. On this NS9 Postgame Show, Neil and DiNardo break down another rough night for the Pirates relief corps, the continued struggles from the right-handed bullpen options, Brandon Bidois' outing, Johan Ramirez entering another close game, and why Don Kelly may not have many trustworthy choices right now. They also discuss Paul Skenes' strong start, the defensive mistakes behind him, the Pirates' issues when trailing late, Carmen Mlodzinski moving to the bullpen with Jared Jones returning, and the roster questions around Tyler Callihan, Esmerlyn Valdez, Konnor Griffin, Ryan O'Hearn, and Nick Gonzales. The Pirates are still hanging around, but this bullpen problem is no longer a small concern. It is becoming the main thing standing between this team and winning games it should be winning.

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.

Jared Jones could be back with the Pittsburgh Pirates this week, and that creates one of the most important pitching decisions of the season. DiNardo and Ryan discuss Ben Cherington's latest comments, Jones throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, whether he returns directly to the rotation, who could lose a starting spot, and how his return could impact the bullpen. The guys also lightly recap the Toronto series before looking ahead to the Memorial Day matchup with the Chicago Cubs at PNC Park. With Chicago struggling badly entering the series, this is a spot where the Pirates need to capitalize at home.

The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped a frustrating 6-2 game in Toronto, and this one felt like a missed opportunity. Bubba Chandler delivered the most encouraging start of his young MLB career, striking out 11 Blue Jays over five innings while flashing the swing-and-miss stuff that makes him such an important piece of the Pirates' future. But the defense and bullpen gave the Pirates almost no margin for error. Costly mistakes extended innings, Dennis Santana struggled again, and the bullpen continued to raise real concerns about whether this group can hold up as the season moves toward June and July. DiNardo and Neil break down Chandler's outing, the Pirates' sloppy defense, Don Kelly's bullpen options, why this loss felt so preventable, and how many winnable games Pittsburgh can afford to give away.

The Pittsburgh Pirates suddenly have a much younger, & interesting roster. Tonight on NS9LIVE!, Tyler and DiNardo react to Esmerlyn Valdez getting promoted to the big leagues and what it could mean for the Pirates lineup. How much should Valdez actually play? Does this move make sense right now? And is this a real opportunity or just the Pirates trying to patch things together after the Ryan O'Hearn injury? We also get into the bigger picture: 20-year-old Konnor Griffin starting at shortstop, 22-year-old Esmerlyn Valdez joining the roster, and 23-year-old Jhostynxon Garcia getting called up earlier this week. The Pirates are sitting in a tough NL Central race, but they've suddenly created a real youth movement at the big-league level. Is that smart development, necessary aggression, or a sign of where the season is heading? Plus, we'll talk through the catcher situation with Henry Davis and Endy Rodriguez holding things down right now, and of course, we'll open with the NS9 Stupid Question. Valdez was recalled from Triple-A on Thursday, while Garcia was recalled earlier this week after Ryan O'Hearn landed on the injured list. Konnor Griffin has also started to settle in after a huge game against St. Louis, giving Pirates fans a very different-looking roster to talk about.

The Pittsburgh Pirates had this game in their hands, and then the bullpen completely gave it away. On tonight's NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Brothers, DiNardo and Jim break down the Pirates' brutal 11-9 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies after blowing leads of 6-0 and 8-3. The offense did its job, Braxton Ashcraft gave them enough to win, but the late innings turned into a disaster as Mason Montgomery, Gregory Soto, and Dennis Santana could not close the door. This episode dives into the growing concern around the Pirates bullpen, whether Ben Cherington needs to act quickly, how much blame belongs on Don Kelly, and why losses like this matter when the Pirates are trying to stay in the NL Wild Card picture. The Pirates have shown they can hit. The rotation has been strong. But if the bullpen keeps melting down, it may not matter.

Paul Skenes is no longer just the Pirates' ace. He might be the best pitcher alive. Paul Skenes delivered another ridiculous performance for the Pittsburgh Pirates, going eight dominant innings and continuing to build a real case as the best pitcher in baseball. DiNardo and Doug break down Skenes' latest masterpiece, his absurd season numbers, why his efficiency matters, and how his presence changes the entire outlook for the Pirates. They also discuss a strong day across the Pirates organization, including Jared Jones throwing four shutout innings, Justin Garcia's monster game, Murf Gray staying hot, Oneil Cruz continuing to produce, and why this team suddenly feels a whole lot more legit.

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!

The Pittsburgh Pirates took another series, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 behind another strong start from Mitch Keller. DiNardo and Doug break down Keller's continued reliability, the Pirates' improved rotation, timely offense from Brandon Lowe and Spencer Horwitz, and why this team feels much different than past versions. The guys also discuss how the Pirates responded after a rough series against St. Louis, why the offense no longer feels completely dependent on one or two players, and what this strong start to the West Coast trip says about the club moving forward.

The Pittsburgh Pirates just got swept at home by the St. Louis Cardinals, dropped five straight games, and fell back to 16-16 after what had been a promising April. So now the question is simple: are the Pirates actually in trouble? On this episode of NS9LIVE!, DiNardo, Tyler, and Jim each bring one reason why Pirates fans should not be overly concerned and one reason why the sky might actually be falling. The conversation hits on the thin margins around this team, the state of the NL Central, bullpen concerns, Don Kelly's recent decision-making, Paul Skenes not stopping the skid, Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds, roster depth, and whether this team is simply showing us exactly who they are. The Pirates are still right in the mix, but this losing streak exposed a lot.

The Pittsburgh Pirates were cruising toward another strong NL Central win before everything unraveled in the 9th inning against the St. Louis Cardinals. Neil and DiNardo break down a brutal late-game collapse, Dennis Santana's rare meltdown, the decision-making around the bullpen game, whether Don Kelly deserves blame, and why pulling Wilber Dotel after four strong innings became a major talking point after the loss. They also get into the Pirates offense going quiet after the early runs, Jake Mangum's costly baserunning mistake, Marcelo Ozuna's continued struggles, and why this loss stings more because of where the Pirates are in the standings and how big this week is against the Cardinals and Reds. It was a frustrating one, but the Pirates are still in a good spot. Now the question is how quickly they can respond.

The Pittsburgh Pirates missed a chance to sweep the Milwaukee Brewers, falling 5-0 in a rough offensive showing at American Family Field. Jim and DiNardo break down a game where the Pirates managed just two hits, struck out 18 times, and had no answer for Kyle Harrison, who dominated over six shutout innings. They also discuss the Sunday lineup decisions, Joey Bart's continued struggles, whether Rafael Flores should become part of the catching conversation, and Carmen Mlodzinski's second straight shaky start. Even with the ugly loss, the Pirates still took two of three in Milwaukee, finished the road trip 3-3, and are now 6-3 against NL Central opponents, all on the road. So how much should fans actually worry about one bad game? The guys also touch on the bullpen's strong road trip, the upcoming Cardinals series, Mason Montgomery opening tomorrow, and why the bigger picture still looks much better than the final score did today.

Plus, the guys discuss the Pirates' aggressive style of play, Tony Beasley sending runners, the Brewers looking sloppy defensively, Nick Gonzales continuing to come through in key spots, and why this win felt like a real glimpse at what this Pirates team can become.

The Pirates are back in the win column after a 2-0 shutout of the Nationals, and this one was all about the pitching. DiNardo and Jim break down Carmen Mlodzinski's dominant outing after following Mason Montgomery in an opener role that worked exactly as planned. They dive into why the strategy made sense, how Mlodzinski attacked the Nationals lineup, and why he continues to make the fifth starter conversation a lot more interesting. They also talk about Don Kelly pushing the right buttons after a rough night of second-guessing, the bullpen locking things down, and how this game was a perfect example of the Pirates winning with pitching even when the offense only did just enough. Plus, they get into Ryan O'Hearn's big day at the plate, Nick Gonzalez driving in a run, and what Mlodzinski's recent success could mean moving forward. If you're looking for reaction, analysis, and some strong opinions on openers, this episode has you covered.
