Podcast appearances and mentions of Joey Bart

Isiah Kiner-Falefa is hitting.273 and can help a contender. It wouldn't surprise Jason if he's traded. Who should play shortstop when IKF is traded? Jason would try Joey Bart at first base and play Nick Gonzales at short.

In his weekly mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions. Among them: Has manager Don Kelly handled outfielder Oneil Cruz's recent lapses correctly by benching him? Is there any reason owner Bob Nutting is holding onto GM Ben Cherington as the season slips further and further away? Will pitcher Andrew Heaney be dealt at the MLB trade deadline, opening up a spot for prospects like Thomas Harrington and Hunter Barco? Does Henry Davis deserve more playing time at catcher amid Joey Bart's recent struggles? And what is the Pirates' best possible starting lineup on paper currently?

Doug and Neil are back for another North Shore Nine Postgame Show, powered by Primanti Brothers, as the Pirates drop a 7–3 loss to the Tigers. They break down another brutal night of offense, Bailey Falter's decent but unspectacular start, and Carmen Mlodzinski's rough outing from the bullpen. The guys also dig into the return of Joey Bart and what it might mean for Henry Davis moving forward. Plus: Canario shows signs of life, Horwitz continues to struggle, and Pirates fans are left wondering — where's the urgency Bob Nutting promised? It's the same problems, same frustrations, and still no clear answers. Watch the full NS9 Postgame Show now and don't forget to subscribe for more Pirates talk all season long.

On his weekly Pirates mailbag video, Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions. With the sudden surge in Henry Davis' game and Endy Rodriguez waiting in the wings, could Joey Bart be a potential trade chip for GM Ben Cherington? What did the Pirates see in hitting coach Matt Hague, and how is he doing so far? What does the future hold for Jared Triolo? Why are fans and many in local media so hard on Oneil Cruz when he's the Pirates' most talented player? And are Mike Burrows and Braxton Ashcraft up in the major leagues just to build trade value for Cherington to bring in a hitter? Noah tackles those topics and more.

With Joey Bart hitting the IL and Endy Rodriguez back in the mix, the Pirates' catching situation just got a whole lot more interesting. Tonight, we dive deep into the chaos behind the plate — from Henry Davis' recent surge to Endy's return and what it means for the future. We also check in on the early returns from the Don Kelly era — has anything actually changed since Shelton was fired? Plus: is it time to cut bait with guys like Pham or Triolo? When will we see Dauri Moreta again? And of course, it wouldn't be a North Shore Nine episode without a little Paul Skenes talk. We break down his dominance, the national buzz, and whether we're still somehow underrating him. We wrap things up with a quick preview of the Pirates' upcoming series vs. the Padres.

The team is a loose group under Don Kelly and more relaxed. Could Joey Bart play first base? Noah doesn't think we're going to see it. Henry Davis needs to get the bulk of reps at catcher. Would you trade Joey Bart at the deadline?

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Austin Bechtold (behind the glass): Henry Davis needs to get the bulk of reps at catcher. Would you trade Joey Bart at the deadline? Jordan Schultz is reporting the Steelers are still looking for weapons. Pitt and Penn State should play every year.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson acknowledge the recent success Pirates' C Henry Davis has had in recent games since Joey Bart got hurt.

There is still joy for people in this season. Joe and Austin think Henry Davis needs to play almost everyday and Dan agrees. Andrew McCutchen has been a part of the solution, but might need to put on a glove. Dan thinks that Davis could take over for Joey Bart. Oneil Cruz hits the ball harder than anyone else and Dan compares it to a pitcher throwing 99 MPH.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Are you still able to enjoy the good moments in this Pirates season? We want Davis to play almost everyday, even if that means Joey Bart and Andrew McCutchen have to play less. Roman Wilson spoke at Steelers OTAs on how he's motivated to make a statement and to keep working. Pat Freiermuth isn't concerned about the WR room and thinks they have some good players on the team.

Join Jonathan Rice (@PhilPhan99) and Connor Williams (@Wins_Williams) for the extended Sunday Spectacular show on Talk the Plank 3k via Fans First Sports Network (@FansFirstSN). The Buccos' give up a pair of 3-run innings to lose to the Brew Crew on Sunday. Jonathan and Connor recap the game and discuss things like Oneil Cruz record exit velocity, Alexander Canario, Don Kelly, Joey Bart, and more! Tune in to check it out! Let's go BUCS!!!!

The Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Jason Mackey react to a busy week of Pittsburgh sports news. Should OTAs be a red line for Steelers GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin in their pursuit of QB Aaron Rodgers? How important is the offseason program to his success, given that it didn't seem to matter much for Russell Wilson and Justin Fields? And how much worse off would the Steelers be with Mason Rudolph as their starter instead? Is the national media bashing he's received fair? Our duo tackles those questions; the difference between George Pickens and DK Metcalf as WR1; and the team's biggest remaining weakness after adding Derrick Harmon and Kaleb Johnson in the NFL draft. Later, the guys discuss the Penguins coaching search. Why does Mitch Love continue to make a lot of sense as a frontrunner? How much say should Sidney Crosby have in the hiring process? And how cool is it to watch Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury play together one last time at the IIHF world championships? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, our duo ponders Ben Cherington's options as the season continues to slip away. Is there a trade he can make to salvage his job? Is that a move he should be allowed to make, given his track record? Would firing him have a bigger practical or psychological impact? And what should we make of the Paul Skenes trade chatter, initiated this past week by ESPN's Jeff Passan? Adam and Jason give their thoughts, then analyze the catching situation with Henry Davis and Joey Bart. And Alexander Canario's recent hot streak.

On his weekly Pirates mailbag video, Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions. Among them: What are the reasons the Pirates' offense is struggling so profoundly. Is it a problem with GM Ben Cherington's development regime? Why does Henry Davis instead of Joey Bart catch for Paul Skenes starts? Could hitting coach Matt Hague be in trouble after manager Derek Shelton's firing? What should we expect from Spencer Horwitz when he returns from injury? Are there any updates on the search for a bench coach? Could Francisco Cervelli be a candidate? And how has Don Kelly performed in his first week as manager?

Joey Bart is a good player who has become Ben Cherington's best trade acquisition. Bob wants to see Henry Davis get considerable at-bats, but where will he play? You're not benching Bart or Andrew McCutchen and would have to move them to other positions.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Bob Nightengale thinks there's a 1% chance baseball institute a salary cap. He thinks there's a chance for a salary floor. Joey Bart is a good player who has become Ben Cherington's best trade acquisition. Bob wants to see Henry Davis get considerable at-bats, but where will he play?

The Pirates had a play similar to their past mistakes on the bases. On a shallow fly ball, Joey Bart tried to score and it was unknown if Mike Rabelo sent Bart or what happened. Derek Shelton said he didn't know what happened.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Joe applauds Kyle Dubas for moving on from Mike Sullivan. He thinks it was Dubas' move, not Fenway Sports Group, to move on from Sullivan. Why is Art Rooney II so afraid to move off Mike Tomlin after the Baltimore game? The Pirates had a play similar to their past mistakes on the bases.

Teoscar talks to DV after hitting an RBI 2B, throwing Joey Bart out at home, and hitting the go-ahead HR in the Dodgers 8-4 win over the Pirates. 

The Pirates kicked off their road trip with a bang, taking down the Angels 9–3 behind a vintage Andrew McCutchen homer and solid nights from Joey Bart and Ke'Bryan Hayes. DiNardo and Ryan break down the offensive explosion, Bailey Falter's strong start, and what this win says about the team's current momentum.

The hope for the Pirates is getting healthy and holding on for as long as possible before they're here. Spencer Hortwitz is a decent defensive first baseman and can be a decent hitter. The electric stuff isn't there yet for Paul Skenes and he needs to get more swing and miss north and south. Michael wants to see Joey Bart get some run at first base.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: The electric stuff isn't there yet for Paul Skenes and he needs to get more swing and miss north and south. Michael wants to see Joey Bart get some run at first base. The Pirates aren't playing Oneil Cruz everyday and have strangely given him a few days off. Clint Hurdle wanted his stars to play all the home games but would also have the players decide what game to take a day off.

The Pirates winning 3/4 against the Nationals shows a blueprint for how the team can win games. Jason likes the Pirates bullpen and how Ryan Borucki is pitching. He thinks the offense can and will be better. Jason wants to see Joey Bart playing some first base with Henry Davis playing more.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles previews the team's four-game series against the Washington Nationals this week. Are Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller in must-win situations following the weekend sweep vs. the Cincinnati Reds? Can Skenes bounce back from his rough start last week vs. the St. Louis Cardinals? And what should we make of fellow rotation members Andrew Heaney and Bailey Falter? Noah tackles those questions; offers injury updates on Joey Bart, Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz; ponders call-ups for prospects including Matt Gorski and Nick Yorke amid a promotion for Henry Davis; and offers stories to watch from the other dugout with the Nationals.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk joins. Ke'Bryan Hayes made a great heads-up play to tag out the Cardinals runner at the plate after Endy Rodriguez and Joey Bart collided. Bob likes the strategy of moving runners over and the automatic runner in extras. Pirates-Reds this weekend in Cincy.

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Ian Rapoport said when a player makes a cryptic social media post, it typically means something. It doesn't seem like Watt is happy with this and maybe sending a message. Ke'Bryan Hayes made a great play after Joey Bart and Endy Rodriguez collided with each other and Hayes tagged the runner at the plate.

One fan says the Steelers should trade Watt and that edge rushers aren't as valuable in the playoffs, but getting more pressure up the middle. Ke'Bryan Hayes made a great play after Joey Bart and Endy Rodriguez collided with each other and Hayes tagged the runner at the plate.

The Pirates walk it off in 13 innings and Cody and Doug are here to break it all down on the NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. Mitch Keller was dominant, the bullpen stepped up big, and Joey Bart came through with the game-winning hit in a weird, chaotic, and much-needed series win over the Cardinals. We talk Keller's bounce-back performance, the dominance of Dennis Santana, the bullpen usage finally making sense, and a whole lot of questionable base running from both teams. We also dive into the latest struggles from Jack Suwinski, Joey Bart's early season impact, Ke'Bryan Hayes flashing the leather again, and what's next for guys like Tommy Pham.

Carmen Mlodzinski delivered a strong first start of the season, Thomas Harrington picked up a rare four-inning save, and the offense finally came alive—led by Joey Bart's breakout game, Andrew McCutchen's continued hot streak, and big contributions from Ke'Bryan Hayes and IKF.

Anthony DiNardo and Jim Rosati break down everything from Skenes' dominant outing to the bullpen meltdown, Joey Bart's struggles, Oneil Cruz's nightmare in center field, and Nick Gonzales' homer (and injury?!) in the NS9 Postgame Show.

Zachary Smith from Pittsburgh Sports Now joined the show. Zach talked about what he has given back to the community and his involvement in giving back gifts to kids around the Christmas season. Zach talked about the big toy drive he does starting every July that caps off around December/January. Zach has some moles in the business and said it's more than a 99% chance Aaron Rodgers signs with the Steelers. Former Pirate John Wehner joined the show. John talked about how close he is with the community as a born-and-bred Pittsburgher that played and now calls games for the Pirates. John is not on the road with the Pirates for the first trip of the season, but he can't wait for Opening Day. John knows 1B is the big question mark in the field and isn't quite sure which way the team is leaning there. John said the offense looks the same as last year, which is frustrating because it's not a good offense. John wants to see Jack Suwinski rebound and thinks he can be a real wild card in the lineup. John doesn't believe Joey Bart was a fluke last season and he can do it again in 2025. John said the middle of the lineup has lacked a true threat over the last few seasons.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles reacts to the team's 3-2 victory against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday in Grapefruit League MLB spring training action. What has prospect Thomas Harrington shown this spring that could translate to the regular season? Could we see him with the big club sooner than later, even if he doesn't make the Opening Day roster? Is reliever David Bednar starting to find his groove after some inconsistency to start the spring? And could catcher Joey Bart be one of the most important bats in the lineup this season, alongside names like Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz?

Post-Gazette Pirates beat writer Noah Hiles recaps his chat with manager Derek Shelton on Sunday as well an a spring training win against the New York Yankees in Tampa, Fla. Why isn't Shelton prepared to name a closer? And why isn't David Bednar the default choice for that role after holding the job for most of the last few years? How is Henry Davis looking defensively behind the plate as he competes for time alongside names like Endy Rodriguez and Joey Bart? And how is the competition for left-handed relievers going as the bullpen begins to take shape? Noah tackles those questions and more.

Joe and Bob are rooting for Spencer Horwitz and like him as a person. Joey Bart joined The PM Team and explained he worked with Barry Bonds in San Francisco and Bonds' ability to process information and previous at-bats is very impressive. Bart was in awe of Bonds and cool to work with him.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey Former Steelers guard David DeCastro joined the show and is opening a medical marijuana business on McKnight Road. David shares his favorite memories with the Steelers and friendship with Al Villanueva. Joey Bart worked with Barry Bonds in San Francisco and Bonds' ability to process information and previous at-bats is very impressive. Bob and Joe both think Barry Bonds should have his number retired in Pittsburgh and be in the Hall of Fame.

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike thinks Russell Wilson would be a mistake for the Steelers in 2025, leaving Justin Fields as the better choice. Mike doesn't think the Steelers have interest in Aaron Rodgers unless he's their last option. Mike doesn't buy into the dots being connected between Wilson and the Raiders. Mike described Russ' game as a one-club golf bag and said all he has is the moon-ball. Mike doesn't think Wilson is a player that will accept a backup job. Mike is surprised by DK Metcalf requesting a trade. Mike thinks DK could be had for a 3rd or 4th round pick. The guys asked Mike about what the Falcons are going to do with Kirk Cousins. How will the new deal for Saquon Barkley impact guys like Najee Harris as they enter the open market? Mike believes Davante Adams is the best WR of the available group. The guys asked Mike how the Maxx Crosby contract will affect what the Steelers offer TJ Watt later this offseason? Mike isn't sure what the strategy is for Myles Garrett and if he stays in Cleveland. How will the Bengals make all of their financials work with the young stars on offense? Pirates utilityman Jared Triolo joined the show. Jared won a gold glove last season and said that thing is heavy. Jared talked about how often he practices at the various positions on the field since he plays all over. The guys asked Jared about some of his early moments in the majors. Jared tried to build his all-defensive team. He said learning 1B is a lot more difficult than people think. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi gave her latest thoughts on the Steelers QB situation. She doesn't think there is a robust market for Russell Wilson. If Justin Fields isn't in Pittsburgh, she thinks there are ‘several' teams looking for his services. Aditi said it's hard to blame a player for testing the waters, especially if it's their first chance to really do so. Aditi does think there is a QB in the draft that she thinks the Steelers would take outside of the 1st round. The guys questioned the Jalen Milroe hand size that went up significantly since the Senior Bowl. Aditi loves Nick Chubb and thinks he's the antithesis of a few guys in the Steelers locker room. Aditi can see DK Metcalf going to Vegas. Pirates catcher Joey Bart joined the show. Joey mentioned his family members that have Pittsburgh ties. Joey talked about the activities he gets into during the offseason. He described the strategy of competition bass fishing and the events he has taken part in. Joey said Kevin VanDam is the best bass fisherman of all-time. Joey said there's nothing like being in a lake with 100 other boats. Joey talked about his journey to baseball when he expected to be a football player in high school. Joey told a story about catching for Matt Capps when he was 15. Who is the one pitcher from all-time that Joey wishes he could catch? Joey told the guys about meeting and working with Barry Bonds while he was part of the Giants organization. He said Bonds was on a level of hitter that he doesn't think we will ever see again. He thinks Bonds, even at 50+ years old, would be a threat at the plate in today's game. Donny Football Debrief – We have smirking emojis from George Pickens, aka Michael Brewerly.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Andrew thinks Henry Davis will make the big league team and will share time with Joey Bart and also hit as the DH. Bubba Chandler likely won't be on the Opening Day roster and is more likely in June. Chartiers Valley native Megan McConnell is up for A10 Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. Dan explains why McConnell stands out so well on both ends of the floor and should be drafted.
