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.

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.

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 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 dropped this one 5-1 in Texas, and Doug joined DiNardo live from Globe Life Field to break it all down on the NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros. They dive into Carmen Mlodzinski's rough outing and why one bad start still doesn't change the bigger conversation around his role in the rotation. They also talk about the weird turning point in the game with Nick Yorke's glove mishap, Oneil Cruz nearly changing everything with a missile to the wall, and why this one felt like one of those frustrating “game of inches” nights for the Pirates. A tough loss, some bad luck, and plenty to unpack from another night in Texas.

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.

Paul Skenes set the tone early, the Pirates scratched through in the middle innings, and then absolutely blew this one open late. Nate and DiNardo break down a 7-1 win over the Padres, including Skenes mowing through San Diego, Oneil Cruz delivering the big two-run double that got the scoring started, and the eighth-inning burst that put the game away behind big knocks from Nick Gonzales, Jake Mangum, and Konnor Griffin. The guys also get into the way the Pirates kept adding pressure, the clean work from the bullpen after Skenes exited, and what stood out most from another strong night at PNC Park.

The 2026 season is underway, and the Pirates wasted no time delivering chaos. Doug and DiNardo react to an ugly 11-7 Opening Day loss to the Mets, headlined by a shocking early exit from Paul Skenes, defensive issues that immediately raised concerns, and a bullpen performance that couldn't stop the bleeding. They break down Oneil Cruz's rough day in the field, the walks piling up on the mound, and why so many of the Pirates' biggest question marks showed up in Game 1. But it wasn't all bad. The guys also talk through the biggest offensive positives from the opener, including strong debuts from Brandon Lowe and Ryan O'Hearn, and why scoring seven runs should usually be enough to win. It's a classic Opening Day postgame mix of frustration, perspective, panic, and a little bit of hope as NS9 kicks off another season of Pirates baseball. *Get your tickets to the April 18th game in the NS9 Group: https://www.gofevo.com/event/Northshore9tailgate0418 Use Promo Code NS930 for 30% off your first order at https://www.defer.coffee Use Promo Code NS9 for 30% off your first order at https://www.gritily.com 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!

Tonight on NS9LIVE, Jim, Ty Ty, and DiNardo have a packed show as we get closer and closer to Opening Day. We're kicking things off the only way we know how with the NS9 Really Stupid Question before diving into a brand new Jimalytics segment, this time focused on MLB's new ABS system. Jim's got the spreadsheets ready, which means we'll probably make fun of him for it, but that's part of the fun. From there, we're reacting to the new food items coming to PNC Park in 2026 with a full smash or pass breakdown. Then we get into the big stuff: the final week of Spring Training. What roster battles are still alive? Who wins the fifth starter job, and what does that decision mean for the bullpen? Is Konnor Griffin actually forcing the Pirates to make a real decision? And with Alika Williams still hanging around as the only other non-40-man position player in camp, what does that say about where things stand? Opening Day is almost here. Let's talk about it. *Get your tickets to the April 18th game in the NS9 Group: https://www.gofevo.com/event/Northshore9tailgate0418 Use Promo Code NS930 for 30% off your first order at https://www.defer.coffee Use Promo Code NS9 for 30% off your first order at https://www.gritily.com 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!

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.

DiNardo sits down with the man behind most of the magic at NS9, Cody Kohlman! As he wraps up his week and a half trip in Bradenton, we get to hear his perspective of the trip as well as the team from behind the camera. Not only do we get to hear his perspective, but he also had the opportunity to sit down with some of the Pirates top prospects in the system. Hear him talk to Termarr Johnson, Esmerlyn Valdez, & Konnor Griffin. Once again, shout out to Cody for making things happen for us this week! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nate & DiNardo breakdown what happened today at LECOM Park as the Pirates defeated Team Colombia in a World Baseball Classis Exhibition. Jose Urquidy continued to look effective as he battles for the 5th starter role in this 2026 rotation. Offensively, Konnor Griffin, Jake Mangum, & Duce Gourson also produced. We also had interviews with Isaac Mattson and Justin Lawrence. Each pitcher, as well as multiple bullpen pitchers looked really solid today. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nate and Neil discuss all that happened today at LECOM Park. Mike Clevinger got the start and pitched very effectively. On top of that, Carmen Mlodzinski pitched in today's game and sat down with DiNardo to talk his focus on 2026 as well as the potential of starting again. Alex Stumpf also joins in to talk a little more about Carmen, the young bucs who hit back to back homers in today's game, as well as the Don Kelly postgame comments.

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.

Tonight on Sicko Soundoff, Ty, Ty, and DiNardo are running the debate: did the Pirates make the best use of the money they had available now that the offseason is basically in the books? We're breaking down the moves through one lens: value. Not just “did they add talent,” but did they allocate their budget the right way — the signings, the trades, what they prioritized, and what they didn't do. And because it's a Twitter/X Spaces, we want you in it: Did they spend smart? Did they leave too much on the table? What grade are you giving this offseason — and what's the one move you still wish they made? ️ Hop in, request the mic, and let's hear it.

Jacob Dinardo speaks about his recent opening of Arrowroot Coffee Co. in downtown Springfield. His journey as a coffee roaster from the farmer's market to his first brick and mortar business.

A familiar face is back in Bradenton — and the energy around Pirates camp feels different. A.J. Burnett showed up at Spring Training today, and the reaction from players and staff was immediate. But this isn't just a nostalgic visit. It's part of something bigger. Manager Don Kelly appears to be opening the door for former Pirates to reconnect with the clubhouse — a shift from recent years that could matter more than it seems. Jim and DiNardo break down what Burnett's presence means, why it resonates with fans and players alike, and what this says about the culture forming around the 2026 Pirates.

Drs. James DiNardo and Viviane G. Nasr discuss the article "The Current State of Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology Staffing in the United States" published in the February 2026 issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia.

Three minutes before going live, everything changed. Just as NS9LIVE was preparing to break down the Pirates' potential pursuit of Framber Valdez, the news dropped — he was off the board. Another big arm gone. Another pivot. Another missed opportunity. In this episode, DiNardo and Tyler react in real time to the sudden shift, dive into what the Pirates' rotation really needs, and debate whether this front office is doing enough to push this team toward contention. Is adding pitching still the priority? Did Pittsburgh do enough? And what does this say about their long-term plan? From frustration to honest analysis, this is a raw conversation about where the Pirates stand — and where they need to go.

Tonight on The Point, DiNardo is joined by a loaded panel featuring Alex Stumpf of MLB.com, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Platinum Key from Bucco Territory, and our own Neil for a high-stakes Pirates debate. We dive into the biggest questions facing the Pirates in 2026, starting with a bullpen that no longer includes David Bednar or Caleb Ferguson. Can this group still be trusted late in games? Then, we hand the panel an extra $10 million and ask: what moves would actually turn this roster into a real playoff contender? Finally, with Jared Jones expected back early in the season, we debate how the Pirates should handle his return if the rotation is already full. If you care about where this team is headed in 2026, this episode is for you.
