The Pirates had a chance to make a statement this week against the Braves and Dodgers, but instead, a 1-5 stretch exposed some real concerns. Alex Stumpf breaks down why the pitching staff suddenly feels like the biggest issue, from Mitch Keller's recent struggles to the rotation's workload questions with Paul Skenes, Braxton Ashcraft, Jared Jones, and Bubba Chandler. He also looks at the bullpen problems, the impact of Oneil Cruz being out, and why the schedule does not give this team much room to breathe.

The Pirates looked dead. Down 6-1 to the Dodgers, missing Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin, and staring at a fifth straight loss, Pittsburgh somehow found a way back. Neil and Doug break down Tyler Callihan's huge night, including the first two home runs of his MLB career, one of them coming off Shohei Ohtani. They also get into Jared Jones' start, Carmen Mlodzinski's rough outing, Spencer Horwitz's massive insurance homer, Bryan Reynolds robbing Ohtani, Gregory Soto closing it out, and why the bullpen remains the biggest issue even after a wild 9-8 win.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff and Chris recapped the golf outing they played in today, with Jeff being the squad's best hitter. Jeff told the guys about how Konnor Griffin looked in his field work today as he rehabs his injury. Jeff believes we are still a few weeks away from seeing Griffin back in the lineup. Could he be the team's DH in a pinch if he can't play the field? Jared Jones is starting tonight, but is it a guarantee that we see Carmen Mlodzinski as the second part of the piggyback? How much longer are the Pirates going to give Marcell Ozuna to turn his season around? The guys wondered if Isaac Mattson is going to come back up due to good numbers following his recent demotion. Jeff said the team is going through ABS training to become better on the challenge portion of the game. We had some fun with the rough night for Ozuna.

In his weekly Pirates mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette insider Colin Beazley answers reader questions. Among them: Should fans be worried about ace Paul Skenes' recent results? Particularly with fast ball velocity dipping? What can GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelly to do to get the bullpen under control after another meltdown this week against the Astros? What are the best- and worst-case scenarios for Jared Jones in his return from injury? And could a prospect like Antwone Kelly begin to make an impact at the MLB level soon?

The Pittsburgh Pirates bounced back from one of their worst losses of the season with a much-needed win over the Houston Astros. Neil and Doug break down Jared Jones' return, Carmen Mlodzinski's strong bulk outing, Ryan O'Hearn continuing to produce, Oneil Cruz staying hot, and why this Pirates offense suddenly feels completely different. They also discuss the Pirates taking two of three in Houston, the state of the lineup, the upcoming Braves series, and another Primanti Bros “Raise It” giveaway.

Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk joined the show. The Pirates bullpen has been more inconsistent than we thought. Bob wonders if Wilber Dotel and Carmen Mlodzinski are what the bullpen needs. Jared Jones regrouped in the first inning and showed his ability. Carmen Mlodzinski pitched four innings of one-run ball and seemed right mentally guiding the Pirates to the win.
Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk joined the show. The Pirates bullpen has been more inconsistent than we thought. Bob wonders if Wilber Dotel and Carmen Mlodzinski are what the bullpen needs. Jared Jones regrouped in the first inning and showed his ability. Carmen Mlodzinski pitched four innings of one-run ball and seemed right mentally guiding the Pirates to the win. We listen to Dan Zangrilli's epic rants to close out a feeling good Friday!
Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. Ray thinks the Darnell Washington deal makes sense and doesn't hurt their cap number. Ray was surprised that Nick Herbig signed for as much as he did. Herbig is now making $6.5 million more than Highsmith per season. "I wouldn't be surprised if Highsmith held-in." The Pirates piggyback worked Thursday!
The Pirates piggyback worked Thursday. Jared Jones pitched five scoreless innings and Carmen Mlodzinski earned a four-inning save. Pittsburgh is 4.5 games out of first and is in the first Wild Card spot. Joe thinks the Pirates are going to get to 86 wins and a Wild Card. Jeff Passan thinks the Pirates need to target a catcher. The No. 1 need is the bullpen.
Jared Jones and Carmen Mlodzinski combined to shut down the Houston Astros and help the Pirates earn a series victory on the road. In the rundown of the minors, I discuss some potential bullpen help in Double-A, as well as Irwin Ramirez, one of my favorite arms in the system, who pitched well in the FCL on Thursday.Subscribe to Bucs on Deck Substack for an in-depth look at the entire Pirates' organization. bucsondeck.substack.com/subscribeAlso, check out my YouTube channel, where I post live look videos and some long-form videos. https://www.youtube.com/@bucsondeck Get full access to Bucs On Deck at bucsondeck.substack.com/subscribe
Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Real_G Warner is back with the June 4 episode of the what I bet podcast on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed of the pregame.com podcast network, and the card tonight is headlined by Game 2 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals, with the Vegas Golden Knights heading back to Raleigh as plus money underdogs after stealing Game 1 on the road, 5-4, erasing a 2-0 deficit and getting a late winner from Tomas Hertl. Vegas is plus 138 in Game 2, Carolina minus 157, and the series price has already flipped all the way to the Golden Knights minus 140 favorites, a swing of roughly 222 percent on the Hurricanes side. Warner has been riding this team throughout the postseason, going five for five on the Knights as underdogs, and he is not stepping off now. Mitch Marner leads the entire 2026 playoffs with 21 points across 16 games, blocking shots in regulation and throwing no-look assists in the same shift, while Jack Eichel leads the postseason in assists with 16 and Ivan Barbashev, the Barbershop himself, has been a physical force at every stage of the run. On the baseball side, Warner runs through eight Thursday matchups, calling the Padres-Phillies game with Lucas Giolito against Zack Wheeler a tough spot for San Diego, skipping the Orioles-Red Sox matchup with Trevor Rogers and Brayan Bello in Boston as a pass with no strong angle, noting the Guardians plus 145 in the Bronx against Carlos Rodon and Slade Cecconi is a respectful number but a difficult structural spot for a small-ball club, passing on the Giants at Milwaukee with Adrian Houser against Coleman Crow while lamenting the state of the San Francisco front office, waiting on Seth Lugo and the Royals in Minnesota before committing to a side, leaning Astros at minus 105 with Kai-Wei Teng over Jared Jones in just his second start back from internal brace surgery, and watching the Dodgers price on Justin Wrobleski at Arizona against Ryne Nelson with Arizona plus 120 looking interesting. The best bet of the episode is Oakland Athletics plus 112 on the road at the Chicago Cubs, with J.T. Ginn carrying a 2.87 ERA and five straight quality starts into a matchup against Shota Imanaga, who has allowed eight home runs in his last three outings, and if the Wrigley wind blows out, Warner likes this number even more.

Another blown game for the Buccos last night and this one could take the cake for the 2026 season. The Pirates led 8-3 in the 7th inning in Houston, and wound up losing 11-9. Paul Skenes couldn't get out of the 5th inning then multiple bullpen arms got rocked, including ones that were previously pretty reliable. Are the lights too bright for Don Kelly? How much is on Ben Cherington? How does the blame get divvied up with the Pirates bullpen blunders? Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason told us Carmen Mlodzinski will pitch tonight and will ‘piggy-back' off Jared Jones, who starts tonight. What will his role look like out of the ‘pen? The guys wondered if the role of Wilber Dotel will grow since he's one of the few arms that has been consistently reliable. Jason mentioned Joey Bart as a trade piece the Pirates could have once he gets healthy. Jason has doubts if improving the bullpen from the outside is doable. Who are some other arms in the organization that could help the big league club? Are we at the end of the line with Dennis Santana?

Pirates analyst Michael McKenry joins! The Pirates have scored 102 more runs at this point in the year than last! The Brandon Lowe trade was an incredible one and has been great for the Pirates, while Mike Burrows hasn't been good for the Astros. The Carmen Mlodzinski situation puts pressure on Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones to pitch better.
Hour 4 with Donny Football: Pirates analyst Michael McKenry of SportsNet Pittsburgh joined the show. The Pirates have scored 102 more runs at this point in the year than last! The Brandon Lowe trade was an incredible one and has been great for the Pirates, while Mike Burrows hasn't been good for the Astros. 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.
Alex Stumpf breaks down the Carmen Mlodzinski situation after the Pirates placed him on the restricted list when he communicated he was not ready to pitch out of the bullpen. Mlodzinski has made it clear he wants to be a starting pitcher, and he pitched well enough this season to have a real case. But with Jared Jones returning, Braxton Ashcraft forcing his way into the rotation, and the Pirates badly needing middle relief help, Mlodzinski was moved back into a bulk bullpen role. This episode of OffBeat looks at why the situation matters, the ripple effects on Cam Sanders and the bullpen, what it means for Braxton Ashcraft's innings, and why Mlodzinski's response could shape how his future is viewed in Pittsburgh and possibly around the league.

Where in the world is Carmen Mlodzinski? The Pirates put Mlodzinski on the restricted list and wasn't available to pitch against Minnesota. Jared Jones has the higher ceiling and the Pirates can manage his injury recovery. Mlodzinski has not been happy about being moved to the bullpen and has seemingly made a selfish decision that is currently not helping his team.

Bucs sweep the Twins, but it didn't happen without a week of roster moves and drama. This bullpen still needs help. Carmen Mlodzinski is not happy about the move to the bullpen. Almost 10 roster moves this week, most on the weekend. Jared Jones, Mitch Keller, and Braxton Ashcraft write another page in the book.

Bryan Reynolds delivered the swing of the night, launching a walk-off home run to give the Pittsburgh Pirates a 6-5 win over Derek Shelton's Minnesota Twins. Jim and Tyler break down one of the Pirates' most satisfying wins of the season, from Reynolds' huge night at the plate to the bullpen keeping the game alive after Jared Jones' first MLB start in 609 days. They also discuss Jones' return, Konnor Griffin's impact despite the injury concern, Oneil Cruz's big blast, Wilber Dotel's dominant bulk outing, Evan Sisk's continued success, and the Pirates finally winning a game they trailed entering the ninth.

Griffin Warner talk betting for Friday. Griffin Warner is back on the What I Bet podcast with one of the most loaded Friday cards of the season, covering a Champions League final preview, a potential series-ending Game 5 in the NHL Eastern Conference Finals, and a full fourteen-game Major League Baseball slate from first pitch to the night's marquee showdown in Los Angeles. Warner opens with a quick look at Arsenal and PSG preparing to meet in Hungary on Saturday, noting that both clubs play a possession-dominant style that would make the final an exercise in control and patience. The hockey segment takes center stage early as Warner dissects the situation facing the Montreal Canadiens, who arrived in Carolina as a plus 199 money line underdog trying to avoid elimination after a dominant Game 1 gave way to three straight losses. He walks through the series odds, the compressed total of 5.5 at nearly even juice, and the possession dynamics that have kept Montreal trapped in their own zone, comparing Carolina's shot-volume approach to the ball-control philosophy of the two Champions League finalists. His clearest hockey lean is the under, supported by a secondary interest in Montreal's puck line at plus 1.5. The baseball analysis begins with Atlanta and Grant Holmes visiting Cincinnati and Chris Paddock, where Warner leans over, before working through Lucas Giolito's road start for San Diego against Washington and the potential value in the Nationals as a home underdog given their surprising offensive output. Pittsburgh and the long-awaited return of Jared Jones from internal brace surgery draws a careful look against Taj Bradley and Minnesota, with Warner favoring the under given Jones's extended absence and bullpen volatility on both sides. The Miami Marlins and Max Meyer visiting Freddy Peralta and the Mets produce an under lean consistent with a matchup Warner faded successfully the previous week. He moves through Walbert Ureña and Los Angeles at Tampa, Boston's minor league call-up visiting Cleveland and Slade Cecconi, Shōta Imanaga and the Cubs visiting St. Louis, Troy Melton and a struggling Detroit team road-favored against the White Sox and Erick Fedde, Stephen Kolek on a post-complete-game fade against MacKenzie Gore in Texas, Coleman Crow on the road for Milwaukee in Houston against Kai-Wei Teng, Logan Webb and the Giants visiting Colorado where Warner leans over and toward the Rockies, Carlos Rodón and the Yankees at the Sacramento Athletics and Luis Severino, Zac Gallen and Arizona at Seattle in a stay-away situation, and finally Zach Wheeler and the Phillies arriving in Los Angeles as plus 103 road underdogs against Justin Wrobleski, where Warner leans to Philadelphia as a coin-flip spot with positive expected value. The What I Bet Best Bet lands on the Cleveland Guardians and Slade Cecconi at minus 115, a number that climbed from minus 113 during the recording session as confirmation of the direction.

Teoscar Hernandez is headed to the injured list with a severe left hamstring strain that sidelines him for several weeks. Corey Pieper details the breaking injury landscapes, unexpected roster shakeups, the daily Pitching Planner segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. The injury ledger is absolutely overflowing as Kenley Jansen lands on the IL with pelvic inflammation, Steven Kwan hits the bereavement list, and the Texas Rangers officially place Andrew McCutchen on release waivers. On the positive side of health, top pitching prospect Jared Jones returns to the mound for Pittsburgh today. Statcast metrics reveal immense optimism for Paul Skenes after an elite 10-strikeout outing despite a deceptive surface loss, while underlying barrel metrics suggest Nathan Eovaldi is on thin ice following an ugly five-earned-run implosion characterized by an alarming drop in his zone control. For the Pitching Planner, we surgically break down the streaming potential for Robbie Ray pitching at Coors Field, Brayan Bello working directly behind an opener, and high-upside weekend spots for Troy Melton and Tatsuya Imai.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley welcomes sports columnist Noah Hiles to talk about a busy week of news for the club.

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.

Jared Jones is back with the Pittsburgh Pirates and will return to the starting rotation, ending any debate about whether he should be used out of the bullpen. Alex Stumpf breaks down why starting was always the right call for Jones, why a six-man rotation never made much sense, and why Carmen Mlodzinski ultimately became the odd man out. The move may help a struggling Pirates bullpen, especially with Mlodzinski capable of giving them multi-inning, high-leverage work, but it also raises a fair question: did a young starter who had earned more runway lose his spot because of roster circumstance? Alex looks at both sides of the decision, what it means for Bubba Chandler, and why Jones' return could reshape the Pirates' pitching staff moving forward.

Hour 4 with Donny Football: Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk joined the show. Bob thinks Jared Jones will pitch well and is good to have Jones back, starting on Friday. The bullpen is a real problem that needs addressed and Mlodzinski being a reliever is best for the Bucs to do that. Bob threw over 200 innings as a rookie and was in a four man rotation. We hear from Pirates fans about the series against the Minnesota Twins.
Jared Jones is back and Derek Shelton returns managing the Twins. Hear from Pirates fans before the start of Pirates-Twins on Friday.
Donny is absolutely irritated, like the rest of us, about Ian Happ dominating the Pirates almost every single time they play. Happ has reached base in 41 games in a row at PNC Park. Jared Jones makes his return tonight for the first time since late September 2024. Carmen Mlodzinski is not happy to go to the bullpen but is going to do what's best for the team. Derek Shelton is back in Pittsburgh, managing the Twins.
Carmen Mlodzinski said it's exciting to have Jared Jones back, but he is still communicating with his family and agency about what's next. He did not sound happy to be in the bullpen. There was a conversation on Wednesday about the move but Mlodzinski is not ready to share what was discussed. Konnor Griffin is dealing with a forearm strain and didn't play on Thursday out of precaution.
Hour 1 with Donny Football: Donny is absolutely irritated, like the rest of us, about Ian Happ dominating the Pirates almost every single time they play. Happ has reached base in 41 games in a row at PNC Park, dating all the way back to 2021. Jared Jones makes his return tonight for the first time since September 2024. Carmen Mlodzinski is going to the bullpen. Derek Shelton is back managing the Twins.
Bob thinks Jared Jones will pitch well and is good to have Jones back, starting on Friday.
