Podcasts about oneil cruz

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!

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 Shallows EP 018 - Dropping Our First Round Picks!? Erik Hinrichsen and Carson Picard navigate through The Shallows, starting with the Captain's Report, featuring major injury news on big names like Ronald Acuña Jr. and Oneil Cruz, musings about the 15-14 slugfest between the Brewers and Athletics in Las Vegas, and analyzing if Logan Webb is all the way back since returning from injury. Then it's the return of Walking The Plank where the guys talk about a handful of big name players that might not be long for your rosters, like Trea Turner, George Kirby, and Gunnar Henderson, and if you should cut or trade players of this caliber, even in shallow leagues. Finally, Erik tests Carson in a new game called Can You Name The Top 5? where he give Carson a random stat category and Carson attempts to guess the top 5 players in that category so far this season.

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.

The Pirates pulled off one of their best wins of the season, overcoming Shohei Ohtani and a 6-1 deficit against the Dodgers behind Tyler Callihan's first two Major League home runs. But the bigger story is Oneil Cruz. Alex Stumpf breaks down Cruz landing on the injured list with a fracture, why the reported 4-6 week timeline may not be as simple as it sounds, and how big of a loss this is for a Pirates offense that has relied heavily on his power, speed and on-base ability. With Cruz out, the Pirates now have real questions in center field. Can Jake Mangum hold it down? Does Jhostynxon Garcia get another shot? Could Esmerlyn Valdez force his way back up with the bat? And how much more can the Pirates realistically ask from Brandon Lowe, Ryan O'Hearn, Bryan Reynolds and Spencer Horwitz? This episode of OffBeat looks at why there is no easy replacement for Oneil Cruz and why the Pirates' postseason push just got much tougher.

Oneil Cruz is going to be out a while with a hand injury. We sometimes react to baseball games like football games where one game can swing the entire season. What do you envision from the Pirates this summer? Marcell Ozuna is 6-14 challenging strikes. Joe thinks Marcell Ozuna is going to hit two home runs. Spencer Horwitz is having a great season. Will fans be going to the ballpark if the Pirates are hanging around the wild card?

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: This was one of the greatest wins in PNC Park history. Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin are both out, and Tyler Callihan delivered. Joe is always going to remember how a random Wednesday night turned into a historic night with the Pirates, plus the Knicks cementing the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. The Pirates need a big threat in the bullpen.

This was one of the greatest wins in PNC Park history. Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin are both out, and Tyler Callihan delivered. Callihan said he's going to be better in the Major Leagues than the minors because these games matter and he received a curtain call by the fans. Joe is always going to remember how a random Wednesday night turned into a historic night with the Pirates, plus the Knicks cementing the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.

A remarkable comeback last night at PNC Park as the Pirates beat the Dodgers, 9-8. Tyler Callihan was the unlikely hero, homering twice for his first two home runs in Major League Baseball. What did this mean for this team? It could be a game that turns the tide of their season. Poni shouted out the crowd last night that didn't leave with the Pirates down 6-1 in the 7th. Game Balls for PIT-LAD: Tyler Callihan, Spencer Horwitz, Bryan Reynolds. Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason reacted to a magical night at PNC Park. Do we see more playing time for Tyler Callihan after his huge night? Jason thinks we could be close to the end of the line for Marcell Ozuna, especially once the team gets healthy again. How can the Pirates become a better team with challenging balls and strikes? Jason discussed the Oneil Cruz injury and what his recovery looks like. Jason paused, but believes we will see Konnor Griffin before July 1st since he can still perform in some aspects of the game. Who are some bullpen options in Triple A right now? Poni told Jason he is tired of the piggyback schedule within the rotation. Are the Pirates going to take a look at Aroldis Chapman going into the trade deadline?

Tyler Callihan hits the first two home runs of his major league career, including a go-ahead three-run shot in the bottom of the eighth.The win stops a losing streak, although the injuries continue to mount as Oneil Cruz hits the IL and Endy Rodriguez leaves the game early.Plus a complete minor league rundown, including another home run from Termarr Johnson.

Ronald Acuna exits early with an injury, forcing fantasy managers to immediately brace for the upcoming medical updates. Joe Bond breaks down today's major news, runs through the Drops of the Week, and locks in the FanDuel Bet of the Day. Adley Rutschman deals with hamstring tightness, Oneil Cruz gets scratched, and Will Smith faces a possible IL stint. On the positive side, Tarik Skubal, Cole Ragans, Casey Mize, and Brandon Woodruff are all making visible progress toward returning. Dillon Dingler, Jac Caglianone, Matt Olson, Bryce Eldridge, and Nick Kurtz lead a deep list of top daily performers. Conversely, Dalton Rushing, Pete Crow-Armstrong, Adolis Garcia, and Freddy Peralta struggled heavily in yesterday's action. We evaluate the rotating segment to decide if it is time to cut ties with Maikel Garcia, Jose Altuve, Emmet Sheehan, or Aaron Nola.

Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. When is Ben Cherington going to acquire a bullpen arm? No one has asked Paul Skenes why he doesn't throw 100 mph anymore and Jason doesn't care. Oneil Cruz has a hand injury and occured on Saturday. Konnor Griffin has an elbow forearm injury.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: This date in sport history. Drafting the best Steelers backup quarterbacks of the 21st century:Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show.

Konnor Griffin has an elbow forearm injury. 

The Pirates were supposed to be built around pitching, but through early June, it has been the offense carrying them. On today's OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down how Pittsburgh's lineup has become one of the better units in baseball, why Ryan O'Hearn, Brandon Lowe, Spencer Horwitz, Endy Rodriguez, Nick Gonzales, Oneil Cruz, and Konnor Griffin have helped change the identity of this team, and why the pitching staff has not taken the step forward many expected. After a rough series against Atlanta, the question is no longer whether the Pirates can score enough. It's whether Mitch Keller, Bubba Chandler, Paul Skenes, Dennis Santana, and the rest of the pitching staff can get back to being the strength this team was built around.

Shohei just cannot be stopped and is doing things we haven't seen in quite some time. But first, Tim figured out QR codes. Watch out, world! We also button up what it means to "bat around." Well, at least we think we figured it out. Plus, no baby yet for Jeff, so he'll keep hitting the podcast until the new arrival makes an appearance. We also share some father-son facts you may not know involving two current players and two former players. And yes, even Jeff manages to bring Dickie Noles into the conversation. It all makes sense, trust me. The Dodgers love to score runs early, but is that all there is to it? Oneil Cruz is flirting with history, and it involves a whole lot of strikeouts. Plus, a save for Winn. Yeah, you read that right. Jeff bought a sign at Hobby Lobby that is surprisingly accurate. And in Wheel of Kurkjian, he finally gets a chance to show off his umpiring skills.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Colin Beazley and Matt Press react to the team's ill-fated road trip against the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves and look forward to a crucial series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This show is presented by FanDuel. How can manager Don Kelly right the proverbial ship with the back-to-back World Series champs coming to PNC Park? Are there any moves left to make with Gregory Soto, Dennis Santana, Carmen Mlodzinski and others within the struggling bullpen? Can Paul Skenes shake his latest mini slump against one of the toughest lineups in baseball? And what else are the guys watching as Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz, Brandon Lowe, Ryan O'Hearn and the offense look to lift the team out of its latest skid? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

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.

Dan Zangrilli joins the show to have a heated argument with the guys over whether Paul Skenes should DH for the Pirates, talk about what Pittsburgh should do with their pitching staff, the latest news with the Bucco injuries, why we aren't getting Skenes-Shohei Ohtani this week, where the Pirates rank among all MLB teams right now, if the Pirates could trade for Tarik Skubal, if Pittsburgh is a playoff team, and more!

The Pirates dropped their second straight game in Atlanta, falling 6-3 to the Braves as Braxton Ashcraft was hit harder than we've seen in a while. Jim and Tyler break down Ashcraft's outing, why the starting pitching has become a concern over the last couple weeks, and how the bullpen at least kept the Pirates within reach again. They also get into the offense's chances against Spencer Strider, Tyler Callihan continuing to provide some useful at-bats, Oneil Cruz drawing three walks, Endy Rodriguez having a rough night, and Brandon Lowe leaving late after fouling a ball off his knee. The Pirates now turn to Bubba Chandler with a chance to salvage the series and finish the road trip at 3-3 before returning home to face the Dodgers.Subscribe to North Shore Nine for daily Pirates coverage, postgame shows, prospect talk, and more.

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.

This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett discuss the amazing season that Oneil Cruz has put together so far, and his resulting rise in Scott's rankings. There's been a handful of names that weren't really on our collective fantasy radar to begin the season that have jumped into Scott's top 100 hitters – guys like JJ Bleday and Curtis Mead. Scott explains how we got here and what to look for next. Meanwhile, Hacks & Jacks darling Josh Naylor drops in the rankings for the first time this season. NOBODY PANIC! He's still in the top 40.

There are no current talks with Oneil Cruz on a long-term extension. His value is skyrocketing. Cruz's power potential is large and his plate disciplate so much better. Baseball told everyone they're trying to command small market teams to spend $171 million. It would be a game changer if the salary cap and floor goes through. A lot of players are not aware of what's going on with the labor deal. People are on the owners' side.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. There are no current talks with Oneil Cruz on a long-term extension. His value is skyrocketing. Cruz's power potential is large and his plate discipline so much better. Baseball told everyone they're trying to command small market teams to spend $171 million. People are on the owners' side. Are we in for a summer of great baseball? Doug Whaley thinks the Steelers could only get a third round pick for T.J. Watt or Alex Highsmith.

The Pittsburgh Pirates stayed hot with another big offensive night, beating the Houston Astros and moving five games over .500. Neil and Doug break down the Pirates' fourth straight win, Oneil Cruz's huge three-run homer, Endy Rodriguez continuing to force his way into the lineup, Jake Mangum's four-hit night, Brandon Lowe's power, and an offense that keeps finding different ways to produce. They also discuss Bubba Chandler's uneven start, the value of the bullpen giving the Pirates length when needed, and the growing concern around Dennis Santana after another rough outing.

Agree or disagree - Paul Skenes won't start the All-Star Game and won't win the Cy Young. Dan and Matt Clement think Christopher Sanchez will get the start with the game in Philadelphia and he didn't give up a run in May. Is it time to extend Oneil Cruz long-term? Big game for Paul Skenes.

Dan and Matt Clement think Christopher Sanchez will get the start with the game in Philadelphia and he didn't give up a run in May. Is it time to extend Oneil Cruz long-term? Dan thinks Cruz is a $250 million player.

One day after Nick Herbig inked his $100M+ extension with the Steelers, Alex Highsmith missed practice. Steelers PR quickly got ahead of the narrative stating that Highsmith was ‘sick.' If a team approached the Steelers about trading Highsmith in exchange for a 2nd round pick, should they say Yes? Are fans buying the ‘illness' excuse for Alex Highsmith today at practice? One legendary caller said the Steelers are the ‘North Korea of the NFL' because they have an answer for everything. Bucco Minute – Another big night for the Pirates last night, beating the Astros 10-6 in Houston. Home runs from Endy Rodriguez, Oneil Cruz and Brandon Lowe. Mike Burrows started for the Astros and did his usual (not great). The guys can't get over how big the Buccos have won a trade. Should the Pirates prioritize Cruz or Lowe if they need to pay someone $200M?

Mike Burrows started for the Astros and did his usual (not great). The guys can't get over how big the Buccos have won a trade. Should the Pirates prioritize Cruz or Lowe if they need to pay someone $200M?

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley gives his report card for GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelly's squad for May. This show is presented by FanDuel. Did Paul Skenes, Braxton Ashcraft, Mitch Keller and Bubba Chandler and the starters do a good enough job mitigating the struggles of the bullpen? How low of a mark did Yohan Ramirez, Dennis Santana, Justin Lawrence and the bullpen get? How did outfielders Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz and other fare in the absence of Ryan O'Hearn? And what did Colin see from infielders including Konnor Griffin, Nick Gonzalez, Brandon Lowe and Spencer Horwitz? He tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss how good of a baseball player Pirates' CF Oneil Cruz is based on the way he's playing so far this season. Also, would you consider the Steelers' WR depth "deep?" June 1, 2026, 7:00 Hour

Carmen Mlodzinski was placed on the restricted list before the Pirates' game yesterday. Mlodzinski was visibly upset after being moved to the bullpen and said that he was still talking to his agency about the next steps in the situation. He was reportedly “not ready to pitch” before being placed on the restricted list prior to yesterday's game. Mullsy thinks that this is a form of protest from Carmen. Callers chime in on Carmen Mlodzinski being moved to the restricted list. Will we see Carmen Mlodzinski pitch tonight? Mullsy says that Mlodzinski needs to understand that you're not always going to be treated fairly at work and sometimes you just have to deal with it. Mullsy also says that Oneil Cruz had to deal with a similar situation when he was moved to CF and he has done so without complaining. More callers chime in on the ongoing situation.

Is it possible that their model actually turns sour? 2.My Response: “I think that's been their strategy. Play for today and worry about tomorrow some other day. Remember, they also have a bunch of deferred money kicking in with Ohtani, etc. one thought is as they deal with the bad contracts, they promote all their young kids as cheap alternatives as the Mookies of the world become backup players. So cheap everyday players and expensive backups. Besides Betts and Smith, freeman, Tucker, Teoscar all are done in three more years. The strategy might work. I will say that Smith's contract looks the worse but he's also the most reasonable. They might have to buy him out. Mookie should be ok for next 2 years and then, his will really look ugly”3.Tatsuya Imai was involved in a no-hitter this week.

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.

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about Craig Kimbrel’s new home, Colton Cowser’s walk-offs, Chris Taylor’s rapid retirement, unretirement, and re-retirement, whether the Mets should sell (and whom they could deal), the relative improvement of MLB’s worst teams, the Blue Jays’ (and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s) punchless contact, the historic hitting of this season’s MLB debutants, Gage Jump and the best-ever early returns for a draft class, whether the Athletics’ and Pirates’ production has been as lopsided as expected, an Oneil Cruz update, a trio of teams that has benefited from stable rotations, the Astros’ combined no-hitter, the Cubs’ extreme streakiness (and nondescript roster), more Giants innovations in thrusting, and Bryce Harper’s toothpaste/toothbrush technique, plus postscript updates.

The Pittsburgh Pirates crushed the Chicago Cubs 12-1 in one of their most complete wins of the season, and Cody and Jim broke it all down on the NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Brothers. Esmerlyn Valdez made an immediate impact at PNC Park with a massive two-run homer, an outfield assist, and another reminder of why Pirates fans are already buying into the energy he brings. Braxton Ashcraft continued his outstanding run on the mound, working deep into the game again with elite efficiency, strike throwing, and poise in big spots. The guys also discussed Konnor Griffin setting the table, Bryan Reynolds delivering in his 500th game at PNC Park, Oneil Cruz's strong night against left-handed pitching, Spencer Horwitz continuing to hit, Brandan Bidois looking sharp out of the bullpen, and Dennis Santana trying to work his way back into form.

Spencer Horwitz jumped on the first pitch Sunday and helped the Pirates avoid falling below .500… but should that swing lead to something bigger? Alex Stumpf dives into whether Horwitz has quietly become the Pirates' best leadoff option, why his on-base profile deserves more attention, and what Oneil Cruz's recent struggles mean for lineup construction while Ryan O'Hearn is sidelined. Could Don Kelly make a meaningful change before this homestand? Read Alex's work here: Book-Rule Bucs Subscribe for daily Pirates coverage from North Shore Nine presented by FanDuel.
