The Pirates statistically have one of the worst lineups in baseball and sit in the bottom of the NL in multiple categories. Dan expects a good performance from Mitch Keller today against the Cardinals. At what point would Derek Shelton be in trouble? Have the Pirates done enough to win?

Will Aaron Rodgers be announced as the Steelers next quarterback at the Pat McAfee Show Big Night Aht tonight? The Pirates discarded people's bricks outside the ballpark with personal messages dating back to when the park opened in 2001. The Steelers are scheduled to meet with QB Shedeur Sanders.

Six of the nine hitters in the lineup last night were hitting under .200. The Pirates aren't spending much and when they do, it's on the wrong guys. The Pirates are off to their worst start under Derek Shelton in a full season. Ian Rapoport thinks the draft could be a realistic deadline for Aaron Rodgers to sign, or the Steelers will draft a quarterback.

The Pittsburgh Pirates took down the St. Louis Cardinals 8-4 on a frigid night at PNC Park, and Jim and Neil are here to break it all down on this NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. 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. The guys also talk bullpen flexibility, the state of the lineup, and why this felt like the first comfortable win of the year. Plus, we gave away some Primanti's sandwiches and looked ahead to tomorrow's Paul Skenes vs. Sonny Gray showdown.

If Crosby plays another five years, he will have played a quarter century in the NHL. The Pirates could look to move Skenes after the 2027 season if they can't agree to a contract extension. Crosby still has the capability to be great into his 40s and could play in four different decades.

Carmen Mlodzinski used his sweeper a lot more and had more success working a second and third time through the lineup. Thomas Harrington pitched better than his debut and looked more comfortable attacking Cardinals hitters. 

Joe thinks that any start for Paul Skenes could result in a no hitter. Michael thinks Skenes is the best pitcher he's ever seen in his lifetime. It can be a detailed process to transition to a torpedo bat.

Pirates insider Noah Hiles from the PG joined the show. Noah brought up the drama with the Clemente Wall with the patch of Roberto Clemente being removed for ad space. He thinks it could have been avoided with better communication. There may also be a controversy brewing over the bricks that used to be outside of PNC Park. Noah predicted the final stat line for Paul Skenes in 2025. Noah shared his opinion on Oneil Cruz early in the season. Noah doesn't think Cruz in the leadoff spot would be the worst idea ever. The guys asked Noah about his conversation before the home opener that he had with Bob Nutting and what he interpreted from it. How much pressure is there to win and how much is on Derek Shelton in the short-term?

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. The guys asked Greg how much the weather tonight will play a factor into how the Pirates handle Paul Skenes, with temps hovering around 30 degrees. Could Skenes be flirting with Kerry Wood and throw 20 strikeouts tonight? Greg talked about Oneil Cruz through the first two weeks of the season and some of the highs & lows we see with his play. Greg said Tommy Pham is the type of veteran that will call out players if they don't show effort. The guys wondered why Jack Suwinski is batting leadoff tonight with a few other questions about the starting nine.

Ever wonder what really happens when comedians hit the road together? Bobby takes us behind the curtain of comedy touring life, revealing both the hilarious disasters and tender moments that unfold when performers spend too much time in close quarters.The adventure begins with a midnight dog hunt at Cactus Tatum's house before a painfully early flight. The panicked search through rainy streets ends with relief when the runaway pup is found at a neighbor's home—but it's just the first challenge of many. Bobby perfectly captures that stomach-dropping feeling of potential disaster, comparing it to "when the teacher hands you your paper face down."Things escalate dramatically at the airport when Tatum suddenly falls ill, leading to an emergency cleanup operation and the purchase of a bright yellow Pittsburgh Pirates hoodie. The incident sparks a friendly rivalry as Bobby defends his response to the crisis: "You want me also to go vomit?" Their friendship endures through these messy moments, revealing how road partners take turns supporting each other through the chaos.The tour takes them through Soul Joel's Comedy Club in Pottstown (where they're treated exceptionally well) and the Pittsburgh Improv (where audiences react in their own unique way). Bobby shares insights about the unwritten rules of touring relationships—like quietly cleaning hotel rooms without acknowledgment until the one time you forget and someone notices. These small gestures reveal the delicate balance between headliners and feature acts.Between stories of farting on the road and accidentally calling venue managers by the wrong name, Bobby captures the beautiful absurdity of comedy life. Join him for upcoming shows with Emma Willman, Cactus Tatum, and solo dates across the country—just check the links to find tickets and witness the aftermath of these road stories firsthand.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 116: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL COMMENT: I want polling on a special, emergency, extra-constitutional Presidential Recall Vote. I know there isn't going to BE a Presidential Recall Vote. I know we're not going extra-constitutional, we're not REPUBLICANS dammit. But they are always making up laws (inside the Supreme Court and outside of it) on the premise that the people really want it, so after this week of unprecedented insane unnecessary failure on the part of Trump and his Team of Imbecilic Rivals, I want to know where we stand. Because the moment we get 10 Republicans in the House and 14 in the Senate to believe that if Trump stays in office, their careers are over, he's gone. Half of them think he's nuts already and a quarter have had doubts. They need to be pushed and I don't want to wait until the mid-terms for them to get the damned message I want SOME pollster - independent, news-related, hired by the Democrats, SOMEBODY - to ask these questions: 1) if the election were re-run today would you vote for Trump or a Democrat. Or another Republican. Or a fairly intelligent farm animal. 2) would you support a special recall vote to potentially reverse the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. 3) would you describe the current financial panic and the upcoming tsunami of inflation and unemployment as a national emergency. 4) do you think Donald Trump has lost his mind. 5) do you think Donald Trump is mentally fit to run the country. 6) do you think Donald Trump is acting to destroy the United States on behalf of a foreign country. 7) do you think it is necessary to act outside the constitution if necessary to save the United States of America FROM Donald Trump. 8) if the midterm elections for the Senate and the House were tomorrow would you vote Republican or Democratic? WHATEVER the percentages are they could easily scare the crap out of 10 House Republicans and 14 Senate Republicans and the day they do, Trump vanishes. You doubt me? Ask Richard Nixon. Ask Abraham Lincoln, whom they were ready to get rid of seven months before Lee surrendered at Appomattox because they thought he wasn't going to be re-elected. Also is it possible the Democrats are listening to me? Obama emerges to spout sense, as I've asked. The DNC Chair founds "The People's Cabinet." All we need now is POLLING ON A PRESIDENTIAL RECALL VOTE. B-Block (31:28) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Pittsburgh Pirates rip a Roberto Clemente memorial off their outfield wall to make room for an ad for seltzer, a Republican influencer insists there are no tariffs on Russia because we don't import anything from Russia (we import $2.5 Billion a year from Russia), and the Secretary of the Treasury wants YOU to buy American while he buys British. (41:28) SPORTSBALLCENTER: Alexander Ovechkin DOES have more goals than Wayne Gretzky now, but no, that's still not the big league hockey record (and Gretzky managed to throw himself out another window during the celebrations) and the date of the first American, maybe the first human, to be photographed giving the finger to the cameraman has to be pushed back from 1886 to 1882 after a discovery this weekend about baseball Hall of Famer Old Hoss Radbourn. C-Block (55:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: I have been asked by a listener to expand on last week's news that Chuck Todd not only does not realize that his news career is over but he thinks investors are going to give him $2,000,000,000 to go buy a news organization now. The answer to the question "Chuck Todd: Why?"See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textWhat happens when the players break? Dr. Pat DeMeo takes us into the sacred space of the Pittsburgh Pirates' trainer's room at LECOM Park to reveal the hidden world of Major League Baseball medicine.Growing up as a Yankees fan in 1960s New York, DeMeo never imagined he'd one day become the Pirates' medical director and head of orthopedic surgery at Allegheny Health Network. With remarkable candor, he shares the unexpected path that led him to this rare position – one of only 30 MLB medical directors in the world – and the steep learning curve he faced during his first years with the organization.Behind every pitcher's devastating injury or miraculous comeback lies an intricate dance between medical science and the business of baseball. Dr. DeMeo pulls back the curtain on how these decisions unfold, revealing the seasonal rhythm that dictates his work from spring training physicals to draft preparations and trade deadline medical evaluations. His philosophy remains steadfast through it all: "I don't represent management. I represent the player."The conversation takes a dramatic turn when DeMeo recounts saving a man's life on the field during spring training, performing CPR and using a defibrillator while players watched on bended knee. He describes Jung Ho Kang's catastrophic 2015 knee injury as "the worst baseball injury I've ever seen – worse than anything in football" and details the innovative surgical approach that allowed Kang to return to play when the odds seemed impossible.From AJ Burnett's transformative impact on team chemistry to the emotional challenges of forming bonds with players who might be "here today, gone tomorrow," Dr. DeMeo provides a deeply human perspective on medicine at the highest level of sports. His stories reveal not just the physical demands of baseball, but the mental fortitude required from both players and the medical professionals who care for them.Want more insider baseball stories?

At PiratesFest, Bryan Reynolds said he wanted the Pirates to have more consistent lineups like the Atlanta Braves. The Pirates have had 10 different lineups in 10 games. Some people think the Pirates disrespected Roberto Clemente and Clemente's family by removing the Clemente logo on the wall, but the Pirates said they will put it back there.

Joe believes this is the low point of the Bob Nutting era. Nutting told the Post-Gazette he believes he's given all the tools and resources to the team to be successful. Nutting said that at a point, it comes to execution.

Could the Pirates move off GM Ben Cherington and manager Derek Shelton if this gets to an 8-20 start or worst start? Michael Kay ripped the Pirates on the YES broadcast with Ivan Nova being the Pirates last multi-year free agent signing.

Bob Walk would rather the Pirates bring in players that hit home runs and drive in runs than give big time speeches and be a leader in the clubhouse. Alex Ovechkin scored 895 to pass Wayne Gretzky for the most goals all-time in National Hockey League history. What are some records you don't think will be broken?

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to some comments that SP Paul Skenes made over the weekend regarding the Pirates' struggles to begin the 2025 season.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to the Pirates putting an advertisement over the "21" on the Clemente Wall over the weekend and the statement the team made in response to fans' feedback.

Adam Crowley combats fans who are trying to persuade others to boycott the Pirates.

The Pirates were a blown save/extra-inning collapse from being swept by the Yankees, which would have stood as the worst opening series at PNC Park in their history. It was still pretty bad. There are plenty of issues to go around. Bob Nutting also told reporters and fans that he is doing everything to build a winning baseball team. OK. The Pirates also have one of the worst GMs in baseball – that is a talking point.

Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. Dan gave his opinion of the opening weekend at PNC Park. Dan reflected on some of the comments made by Bob Nutting the other day. The guys asked Dan about the breakdown in the front office and some of the random/weird positions that were created and spent money on, opposed to on-field talent. Dan said the Pirates have seemingly figured out the starting pitching, which is usually the hard part.

The Pirates got additional heat over the weekend for having a Surfside ad on the right field wall in replacement of the Roberto Clemente patch. Poni compared the outrage from fans like an argument in a marriage. It's a proxy to what is the big picture issue. Fans would be more lenient if the team had spent more money on players this off-season.

Listen to all the highlights from tonight's Yankees win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

- Pirates broadcaster Bob Walk joins! The guys discuss Paul Skenes' first two starts to the season so far, but also why he isn't making his second start this afternoon. It seems like he'll pretty much be the NL Cy Young barring injury, right? The guys also discuss David Bednar's struggles, and how he can improve down at Triple-A. They also get into Oneil Cruz's season and his time with the Bucs, and just what his potential could truly be. Bob does believe Cruz needs to be more of a leader in the outfield. - The guys make predictions for today's game and the series! Also, how many Buccos could end up using the torpedo bats in this series?
