Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg reflected on the season from Paul Skenes as he enters his final home start of the season. Greg said it's already hard to tell if there is another pitcher in Pirates history more dominant than Skenes. Greg said the division crown is still a goal, but it only takes the team being a little better than average to be in a playoff spot. Greg said it takes a legitimate starting SS and/or 3B to feel serious about next season. Greg talked about the decision by Don Kelly to sit Oneil Cruz and how frustrating the second half of the season has been for Cruz. The guys asked Greg about the idea of Cruz changing his position yet again in the offseason. Poni had Greg answer questions all around the diamond for the 2026 Buccos.

This week on the podcast I talk about Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates being the current favorite to win the NL Cy Young award. 

Send us a textMark went to the #mets game Friday night to see the return of Jacob DeGrom. It did not go well for the Metropolitans as rookie Jonah Tong didn't make it out of the 1st inning. The Mets are so awful lately that Mark proclaimed them dead as he did the #rangers a couple of weeks ago. That proclamation was before the Rangers went on a tear! So maybe that's the trick as the Mets came back to win 5-2 on Sunday immediately after that? Paul Skenes pulled after less than 70 pitches in a #pirates win last week. Skenes has the Cy Young locked up so why is everyone so upset? Pirates have had a weird season - 17 shutouts, swept Mets #Dodgers, #Giants, #Tigers, #Phillies and #dbacks. They were 46-82 against everyone else. They were 47-72 if you take out the shutouts. Ugh! #yankees are hanging in as are the #bluejays who have a sold lead in the AL East. #Brewers are still reigning as are the Phillies & Tigers. Who has the most saves in #MLB this season. Are saves still important? Our under-the-radar stat of the week is about saves. Our stat of the week is about  #perfectgame showcases and #driveline training.Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti's. The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped another heartbreaker in Baltimore, losing 2–1 on a walk-off despite a dominant five-inning, eight-strikeout outing from Paul Skenes. Spencer Horwitz provided the lone offensive spark with a solo homer, but the lineup managed only two hits all night as Oneil Cruz, Henry Davis, and the rest of the bats continued to struggle. On this NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros, Tyler and Doug break down the wasted pitching performance, vent their frustration with Ben Cherington's stalled rebuild, and discuss why this offense still can't find a way to score four runs.

Is GM Ben Cherington's job secure if this team is able to finish close to the .500 mark under manager Don Kelly? Was moving Bubba Chandler into the starting rotation next to Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller a wise idea? How much should Braxton Ashcraft's workload be managed moving forward? And if the Pirates can only keep one of Andrew McCutchen or Tommy Pham for 2026, which one should they choose?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the Pirates' run of success over the past couple of weeks, culminating in a series win against the defending World Serie champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. Could this hot streak save GM Ben Cherington's job despite the ugly start to the year? Will Bob Nutting believe in the direction he's set, especially on the pitching side? And how does Don Kelly figure into the future? Our duo tackles those questions; analyzes reasons young pitchers like Paul Skenes, Bubba Chandler, Braxton Ashcraft and Mike Burrows are arriving MLB-ready after years of prospect underachievement; and ponder whether Jared Triolo can keep up his offensive numbers and be closer to the player the Pirates hoped Ke'Bryan Hayes would become.
