Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Burrows

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles examines what the club's starting rotation will look like next season. While the organization boasts notable arm talent, many pitchers also have an unfavorable injury history. With workload restrictions expected to be a big part of the equation, Hiles looks to see who can exactly be expected to take on a true season's worth of innings in 2026. Noah gives his thoughts on options including Paul Skenes, Mitch Keller, Mike Burrows, Bubba Chandler, Thomas Harrington, Hunter Barco, Carmen Mlodzinski, Braxton Ashcraft, Jared Jones and Johan Oviedo.

Cory Phillips and Craig Sandlin discuss the Cincinnati Reds edging the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 at PNC Park, snapping a three-game losing streak. Nick Martinez delivered seven strong innings for the Reds, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four. Noelvi Marte was the offensive star, doubling three times, driving in one run, and scoring another. His first double in the fourth inning tied the game at 1-1 by driving in Spencer Steer, and his seventh-inning double led to the go-ahead run on TJ Friedl's sacrifice fly. Emilio Pagán secured his 25th save, navigating a leadoff walk in the ninth with a game-ending double play assisted by Elly De La Cruz. The Pirates scored first in the third via Jared Triolo's double and Tommy Pham's sacrifice fly, but their offense managed only four hits, with Spencer Horwitz contributing two. Carmen Mlodzinski took the loss for Pittsburgh in a bullpen game. The Reds moved to 61-57, staying in the NL wild card race, while the Pirates fell to 51-67. The series continued with Zack Littell facing Mike Burrows on Sunday.

Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley discuss the state of the club's starting pitching staff and bullpen after their series loss to the San Francisco Giants at PNC Park. With the rotation showing signs of fatigue after short starts by Johan Oviedo, Mike Burrows and Andrew Heaney, plus a few key arms like Dennis Santana and Isaac Mattson taking on new roles in the bullpen, Noah and Colin debate if adding more young arms into the mix could help solve both problems. What about highly touted prospects in Triple-A like Bubba Chandler or Hunter Barco? What should the rest of the season look like for young arms like Carmen Mlodzinski, Braxton Ashcraft and Kyle Nicolas? What about veterans like Dauri Moreta and Ryan Borucki? Noah and Colin answer those questions and more.

The Pirates got steamrolled at home, falling 8-1 to the Giants in a game that was never close. Doug & DiNardo break down another uninspired performance from Don Kelly's squad — including brutal defense, non-competitive at-bats, and a a bad outing by Mike Burrows.

Michael thinks Spencer Horwitz can be a constant bat in the lineup, but has to see more against left-handed pitching. Michael thinks Mike Burrows is a guy who wants to "take your soul" on the mound. Michael thought the Pirates would maybe extend Paul Skenes before he debuted. Michael thinks Skenes will break the arbitration record for his first year and will make $50 million his last year.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Michael thinks Mike Burrows is a guy who wants to "take your soul" on the mound. Michael thinks Paul Skenes will break the arbitration record for his first year and will make $50 million his final year. Jeff had a one-on-one with Arthur Smith and Smith discussed how he's not panicking and trying to find a good offense balanced with Aaron Rodgers. Jeff thinks Mike Tomlin might be trying to send a message to Roman Wilson with the depth chart.

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. San Francisco Giants MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Pirates at Giants 3:45PM ET—Mike Burrows will start for Pittsburgh. Burrows appeared in twelve games carrying an ERA of 4.15 with WHIP of 1.33. The right hander fans 23.7% with 8.9% walks. Ground balls are 40.1% with 1.38 home runs per nine innings.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday. The discussion hosted by Manaf Manji with Griffin Warner covers MLB trades, team trajectories, and Friday betting previews. It begins with anticipation for an active trade deadline as the Arizona Diamondbacks officially begin a fire sale after being swept by Houston, trading Josh Naylor to Seattle and reportedly shopping Eugenio Suarez. Griffin notes the Yankees and Cubs as possible suitors while mocking the Yankees' defensive issues despite Aaron Boone's optimism. The first breakdown focuses on the Brewers hosting Miami with Freddie Peralta (12–4, 2.85 ERA) against Cal Quantrill. Milwaukee, 22–6 in their last 28, are heavy favorites at -220. Manji highlights Peralta's home dominance (7–0, 1.53 ERA), backing Brewers -1.5. The Diamondbacks vs Pirates matchup features Ryne Nelson (5.79 road ERA) against Mike Burrows. Warner criticizes Arizona's bullpen anchored by closer Kevin Ginkel (7.89 ERA) and prefers the Pirates as slight home underdogs. The Phillies visit the Yankees with Taijuan Walker and Will Warren on the mound. Both expect a high-scoring affair in homer-friendly Yankee Stadium, with Manji giving his best bet on over 10 runs. In Baltimore, Kyle Freeland (2–10, 5.19 ERA) faces Dean Kremer, who has a 2.00 ERA at home. Manji leans Rockies +1.5 for value. The Dodgers visit Boston with Emmet Sheehan against Brayan Bello. Warner views the Dodgers as overpriced and takes the Red Sox at +106. Tampa Bay's Zach Littell faces Cincinnati's Nick Martinez; Warner favors the Reds as home dogs, while Manji prefers the Rays' team total over. The Blue Jays visit the reeling Tigers, who are 1–10 in their last 11 and last in MLB in runs, ERA, and WHIP over that stretch. Both back Toronto behind José Berríos against Keider Montero. In Chicago, Shota Imanaga meets Adrian Houser. Manji notes the White Sox are 5–2 straight up at home and leans their run line or first five innings while targeting under 8.5. The Braves take on the Rangers with Joey Wentz against Nathan Eovaldi, and Warner leans Braves moneyline against an expensive favorite, though Manji supports Texas early behind Eovaldi. Cleveland's Gavin Williams faces Michael Wacha in Kansas City; Warner points out KC has lost five straight Wacha starts due to poor run support, siding with the Guardians. The Nationals visit the Twins, with Mackenzie Gore versus prospect Zebby Matthews. Warner calls Gore overworked and makes Minnesota -131 his best bet, joined by Manji. Seattle's consistent Brian Wu visits the Angels' Jose Soriano, who has a 5.65 ERA at home. Manji recommends Seattle's team total over. The Mets travel to San Francisco, with Clay Holmes set to be piggybacked by relievers against Logan Webb. Warner backs the Giants at -132, while Manji prefers the under 7.5 or first five under. The show closes with best bets: Griffin takes the Twins -131, while Manji selects Phillies-Yankees over 10. They also tease expanded coverage next week with three episodes leading up to the trade deadline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley unpacks Pittsburgh's series sweep in Seattle, as the team was shut out in three consecutive games and had one extra base hit all series. Beazley makes the case that this is the worst offensive series in Pirates history, noting that this was the first time since 1888 that the club had been shut out for an entire series. Beazley then focuses on the pitching, which continued to be solid. Mike Burrows and Paul Skenes both had good starts against the Mariners. He concludes by looking at what went right in the previous 6-0 homestand and why the first three games of the road trip were so frustrating.

NY Mets vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T Mets at Pirates 1:35PM ET—Frankie Montas will start for NY. Montas in his 2025 opener allowed no earned runs with five strikeouts in five innings at home to Atlanta. He missed the start of the season with a lat injury. He had 30 starts last year with an ERA of 4.84 and WHIP of 1.37. The veteran struck out 22.6% with 10.1% walks. Grounders are 41.6% with 1.43 home runs per nine innings.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley discuss the Pirates' three-game series against the Brewers. In the finale, ace pitcher Paul Skenes was pulled after four innings and 78 pitches. Noah and Colin theorize about why this decision was made, noting the health of the bullpen, Mike Burrows' availability and the scheduling quirk of the looming off day and a recent doubleheader in Detroit. However, Noah believes any plan should ensure Skenes' Cy Young candidacy stays intact, as while the Pirates have plenty of depth in pitchers like Burrows, Carmen Mlodzinski, Braxton Ashcraft, Thomas Harrington and more, they only have one Paul Skenes.

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.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to a busy week in Pittsburgh sports news. Should the GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have allocated their offseason budget toward building roster depth for beyond just 2025? With deals similar to the one they made with DK Metcalf? Instead of pursuing a short-term QB solution in Aaron Rodgers? And if they knew Rodgers' indecision would last into OTAs, would they have handled things differently? What are the biggest storylines around OTAs otherwise? Is it the tackle situation with Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu? The receivers room with Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin III and Robert Woods jockeying for position behind Metcalf? is it Darius Slay Jr.'s arrival in the secondary? Or the re-loaded running back room with Trey Sermon, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell joining Jaylen Warren? Our duo tackles those questions, the Penguins coaching search and College Football Playoff expansion and what it could mean for Pitt and Penn State. Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys analyze the team's recent hot streak. Is new manager Don Kelly making a meaningful difference compared to Derek Shelton? Or is the offense just getting some better luck? Is Kelly's future tied to Ben Cherington's? Or could Bob Nutting retain Kelly and change GMs this offseason? What should we make of how the club is handling young pitchers Bubba Chandler, Carmen Mlodzinski, Mike Burrows and Braxton Ashcraft? And is Henry Davis finally starting to round a corner?

Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Arizona Diamondbacks MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Pirates at Diamondbacks 9:40PM ET—Mike Burrows is starting for Pittsburgh. Burrows in his 2025 debut allowed four earned runs with three strikeouts in five innings at home to the Brewers. The righty is an 11th round pick in 2018 out of high school put up good numbers in Triple A this year. He had one appearance last year allowing one earned run with two strikeouts in 3 1/3rd innings.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley previews the team's upcoming three-game series at Chase Field in Arizona. Can the Pirates capitalize on a playoff-caliber team that has lost five in a row and has a struggling bullpen? Will Andrew Heaney and Paul Skenes be able to stifle a top-hitting team? And can Mike Burrows and potentially Braxton Ashcraft help reset a tired Pirates bullpen? Colin tackles those questions and more.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Henry Davis had a good game with two hits and was on base three times. He also made a good play tagging a runner at home. We want to see Davis get more playing time. Mike Burrows has been great in AAA and will start on Thursday. Starkey watched last year's championship and thought Team USA would beat teams, but some countries can use NFL guys. You get penalized if you push off someone whether you have the ball or not. You are not allowed to stiff arm defenders.

Henry Davis had a good game with two hits and was on base three times. He also made a good play tagging a runner at home. We want to see Davis get more playing time.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: We discuss the downfall the Pirates continue to experience and if Henry Davis should be here. Andrew thinks Mike Burrows could possibly be here. Free association. Wheel of Ball.

On their Pirates podcast, Post-Gazette insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin discuss what the Pirates' goals should be now that losing sweeps against the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers have severely diminished their MLB postseason chances. Can young players including Henry Davis and Jack Suwinski prove they belong in the club's 2025 future and beyond? Will young starters Paul Skenes and Jared Jones see their innings counts managed more closely to limit injury risk? And will prospects including Billy Cook, Nick Yorke, Mike Burrows and Brandon Ashcraft see promotions from GM Ben Cherington and manager Derek Shelton by the end of the season? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey poses six questions the Pirates must answer in the second half of the season. Will we see innings limits for Jared Jones and Paul Skenes? Will young pitchers including Luis Ortiz, Quinn Priester and Mike Burrows play key roles down the stretch? And what will GM Ben Cherington do at the MLB trade deadline at the end of the month? Why do names like the Los Angeles Angels Taylor Ward and the Oakland Athletics make the most sense as targets? And is there a chance Aroldis Chapman and his hefty contract could be sent out of town, even if the Pirates add with the intention of fighting for a playoff spot? Jason tackles those questions and more. Then later, he offers thoughts on whether Derek Shelton has been a good manager for the club; what Jeff Capel's extension should mean for Pitt basketball; and the latest in the Brandon Aiyuk trade drama with the San Francisco 49ers.
