The 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates Were Doomed From the Start

Bucco Brew Powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea. The North Shore Nine crew dives into the Post-Gazette’s hard-hitting story on the Pirates’ frustrating 2025 season—spotlighting Paul Skenes’ pointed comments, Bob Nutting’s ownership decisions, and the growing calls for Ben Cherington’s job. We break down the best quotes and what they mean for the front office, the clubhouse, and the future of the franchise. To lighten things up, we also take on Alex Stumpf’s year-end Sporcle challenge, trying to name all 57 Pirates who suited up this season—with plenty of laughs and a few surprises along the way.

The Pirates Cap Off Season With 4-1 Loss To Braves

The Pirates’ 2025 season officially closed with a 4–1 loss to the Atlanta Braves, finishing the year at 71–91. In this final NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros, Anthony DiNardo and Jim Rosati break down the game and reflect on a long, frustrating season. They highlight Johan Oviedo’s outing—five innings, three hits, three walks, three strikeouts, and two earned runs, including a first-inning homer to Ronald Acuña Jr. Despite early command issues, Oviedo settled in and capped a solid late-season stretch with a 3.57 ERA over nine starts. The guys discuss his improved fastball metrics, steady arsenal, and why he’s earned a rotation spot heading into 2026. Offensively, the Pirates again struggled. Even with early chances against retiring Braves starter Charlie Morton and a lone run from back-to-back doubles by Bryan Reynolds and Joey Bart, the bats couldn’t deliver. Anthony and Jim also reminisce about Morton’s career, his impact on Pittsburgh’s playoff teams, and his memorable final matchup with Andrew McCutchen. It’s a fitting microcosm of the year: solid starting pitching, quiet offense. Watch as the crew recaps the finale and shares hopes for needed offseason changes and a brighter 2026. 👉 Subscribe and join North Shore Nine for offseason analysis, emergency pods, and all things Pirates baseball!

Tyler and Neil break down every twist: Skenes vs. Hunter Greene, Oneil Cruz’s daring wall play, Henry Davis’ struggles, and how Pittsburgh embraced the spoiler role to make life tough for their division rivals.

Paul Skenes Challenges Pirates to “Look in the Mirror”

Paul Skenes didn’t hold back, telling teammates it’s time to “look in the mirror” and make the sacrifices needed to win. On this Bucco Brew, we break down Skenes’ challenge and what it means for the Pirates’ clubhouse. We also debate whether Andrew McCutchen just took his final at-bat at PNC Park—and if the Pirates should bring the franchise legend back next season. Plus, GM Ben Cherington says he’s operating as if he’ll return in 2026 and highlighted an improved farm system he plans to leverage for trades. Finally, we compare Pittsburgh’s managerial choices of Derek Shelton and Don Kelly to the Reds’ bold move to hire Terry Francona, and why the two clubs—once projected as equals—are now worlds apart. ☕ Powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea 🎧 Watch or listen on your favorite podcast app and join the conversation in the comments!

Paul Skenes Is Ours And He's Spectacular

We push back on the national trade chatter and lay out why the Pirates shouldn’t entertain it—period. From roster construction to timeline, we talk realistic paths to keep your ace in Pittsburgh and what an early-career plan could look like. Then we dive into Rafael Flores’ surprise call-up and debut. Why adding him now (9/18) makes sense for the 40-man, what we saw in his first game (hard contact, first MLB knock, drew a walk), and how his bat profiles alongside the current lineup. We also break down MLB’s new “recovery period” rule for amateurs—what it changes for scouting HS/college arms and how it could shape future drafts.

Offense Falls Asleep & Cruz Lacks Focus As Pirates Lose 4-3 to Nationals

The NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros breaks down the Pirates’ 4–3 loss to the Nationals—a game that started with a three-run first and then a long, quiet stretch from the offense. We dig into Oneil Cruz’s focus and base running lapse (despite some good swings), Bryan Reynolds’ effort on a key ball in play, and why accountability and fundamentals remain glaring issues under Don Kelly vs. the Derek Shelton era. On the bright side, Mike Burrows’ changeup and early dominance were encouraging, Justin Lawrence looked solid in his first action since an early-season injury, and the bullpen/rotation picture shows signs of promise—even as the Pirates drop the series and fall 20 games under .500.

Mitch Pulled, Bullpen Blows Game, Nationals Defeat Pirates 6-5

Mitch Keller had the Nats on lockdown—five scoreless through 5 on just 62 pitches—before he was lifted and the bullpen let it slip, turning a 3–0 lead into a 6–5 loss. Doug and DiNardo break down the decision to pull Keller, the ensuing relief carousel (and why “just get outs” wasn’t the plan), and a bizarre base-running gaffe at the plate that erased the tying run. We hit the late push too: Nick Yorke’s pinch-hit AB, Joey Bart’s RBI knock for Henry Davis, and how a passed ball + non-competitive pitch compounded the damage. Offensively, there were real positives—Jared Triolo (2 hits), Spencer Horowitz (2 hits with a homer), Nick Gonzales (2-for-4), Bryan Reynolds RBI—while Andrew McCutchen’s 0-for-4 and apparent back issue are something to monitor. Plus: what this says about Don Kelly’s in-game leash, the bullpen’s volatility (Sisk/Nicolas, etc.), and the bigger roster-building conversation.

Is Ben Cherington Returning To The Pirates in 2026?

Next, we break down how Don Kelly has performed as interim manager and whether he deserves the job long-term. Plus, we reveal which Pirates prospects are headed to the Arizona Fall League and share what their invitations mean for the organization’s future.

Two Nights, Two Heartbreaks: Pirates Fall 2-1 in 10

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.

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.

Pirates Lose 3-2 in the 11th on Walk-Off Crew Chief Review

The Pirates dropped a heartbreaker in Baltimore, losing on a crew chief review in extra innings. Jim and Tyler break it all down on tonight’s North Shore Nine Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. We get into the Pirates’ brutal offensive struggles (just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position), the lack of power throughout the lineup, and how this continues to define their season. But it wasn’t all bad—Mike Burrows looked sharp, Braxton Ashcraft showed why he’s one of the most exciting young arms in the system, and Isaac Mattson turned in a Houdini act against his former team. Kyle Nicolas also extended his scoreless streak, showing flashes of being a real bullpen weapon. The guys also reflect on what another losing season means for this franchise and why the offensive woes feel so unsustainable moving forward.

Konnor Griffin & Seth Hernandez Changing Pittsburgh? Justin Horowitz Talks Amateur Scouting

Pirates director of amateur scouting Justin Horowitz joins North Shore Nine to break down the 2025 draft and the philosophy driving Pittsburgh’s pipeline. He explains why the draft is “our Super Bowl,” details the conviction behind selecting Konnor Griffin, and unpacks how Seth Hernandez fell to No. 6—covering the traits the Pirates prioritize (athleticism, repeatable delivery, strike-throwing, decision quality) and how PD/R&D fold into every pick. Horowitz also discusses Angel Cervantes’ decision to attend UCLA and what the protected 2026 comp pick (#51) means, plus late-round value plays (hello, LSU masher Jared Jones). Inside the room: board prep vs. day-of chaos, bonus-pool math, who makes the final call, and why drafting for “need” isn’t the strategy. He closes with thoughts on MLB Pipeline’s #2 draft ranking and a very Pittsburgh take on French fries.

NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros. Jim and Cody recap the Pirates’ 5–2 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway.

Pirates Put Up 10 Runs In Win Over Red Sox

The Pirates hammered the Red Sox, 10–3, at Fenway—Pittsburgh’s second straight win in Boston to clinch the series. The 10 runs tied the most the Red Sox have allowed at Fenway this season. Pittsburgh trailed, took the lead, gave it back, then rallied again, scoring in multiple innings. Team totals: 12 hits, 7 walks, 9 strikeouts; every Pirate recorded a hit, and five players had an RBI. On the mound, Johan Oviedo worked 5.0 innings (3 H, 3 BB, 6 K, 2 ER). The bullpen held it down afterward. We noted managing workloads down the stretch—as we saw Mike Burrows pitch 2 in relief today, while Braxton Ashcraft remains in the rotation and Bubba Chandler could be an option. At the plate, Oneil Cruz homered for the 19th time this seaosn.. Multi-hit nights included Andrew McCutchen (10 hits in his last 8 games) and Nick Gonzales, and Spencer Horwitz. Jared Triolo reached four times via hit, walk, HBP, and error. Series finale is tomorrow, with a chance to sweep. NS9 Postgame Show is Powered by Primanti Bros.

Paul Skenes Ruins Payton Tolle's Debut in 4-2 Victory

The Pirates rallied late in Boston to beat the Red Sox 4–2, spoiling rookie Payton Tolle’s debut. Neil and DiNardo break down the marquee matchup of Paul Skenes vs. Tolle: Skenes didn’t have his very best but stayed icy—6 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 6 K on 95 pitches—working through some shaky defense (rough night for IKF, and a drop in CF) and a Roman Anthony homer. Andrew McCutchen carried the offense (3-for-3, BB, two doubles) with the go-ahead two-run double, while Nick Gonzales chipped in two hits. They also dive into Henry Davis’ night (tough at-bats but stellar behind the plate, nabbed a runner), and a lights-out bullpen trio: Dauri Moreta’s nine-pitch seventh, Isaac Mattson continuing his breakout (now down to a 1.95 ERA), and Dennis “Mr. Efficient” Santana striking out two to close (ERA down around 2.33). Plus: quick talk on waiver buzz (IKF, Tommy Pham). Like, comment, and subscribe for more Pirates postgames. Powered by Primanti Bros—let’s go Bucs!

Pirates, Meet the NL East? MLB's Potential Realignment

Bucs talk, big maps, bigger vibes. Tonight we break down Stephen J. Nesbitt’s fresh MLB realignment proposal—what changes, what sacred rivalries stay intact, and why his map could actually work. Then we dive into Bubba Chandler’s first two big-league showings: a four-inning SAVE in his debut and four scoreless for his first MLB WIN—with eight whiffs and triple-digit heaters in outing No. 2. What’s his role the rest of 2025? We’ll also zoom out on the Pirates’ past week and what’s real vs. noise as the push continues. (Hint: the arrow’s pointing up.)

Braxton Ashcraft Shoves Again but Pirates Bats go Silent in 4-1 loss to Cardinals

The Pirates and Cardinals wrapped up their 2025 season series, and Neil and Doug break it all down on tonight’s Postgame Show Powered by Primanti’s. The guys vent about the all-too-familiar script: Braxton Ashcraft shoved, but the bats disappeared and the bullpen collapsed late. They dig into Yohan Ramirez’s disastrous outing, the shaky trust level with Colin Holderman, and the larger issue of bullpen construction under this front office. Offensively, the Bucs once again failed in big spots — going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position and leaving eight men on base. Neil and Doug debate whether this team’s situational hitting woes or the bullpen is the bigger problem, and how much blame falls on management versus the players. They also touch on the positives from Ashcraft’s strong performance and where the Pirates go from here in the NL Central race.

The Pirates blew a 4–1 lead and dropped a frustrating 7–6 loss to the Cardinals, and DiNardo and Neil are here to break it all down on the NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros.

The guys vent about how the Pirates let this one slip away, the decisions that hurt them, and why losing to the Cardinals always stings worse.

Meet Sammy Stafura: Trade Day Story, Goals, and What Fans Should Know

Get to know Pirates No. 11 prospect Sammy Stafura—acquired in the Ke’Bryan Hayes deadline deal—as he walks us through a whirlwind month: getting traded, reporting to Bradenton, and earning a quick bump to Greensboro. Sammy shares how he found out about the trade, first impressions of the Pirates’ player-development system, and whether a jump in swing rate is by design or just the sample talking. We also dig into the person behind the prospect: New York baseball roots (Mets or Yankees?), players he models, two songs he’d queue up to skip Jim’s Taylor Swift pick, first word that comes to mind when he hears “Pittsburgh,” Skyline vs. Primanti Bros, a niche food from home he misses, and what he’s like off the field. We wrap on goals for the final weeks of the season and what Pirates fans can expect next.

Bubba Chandler Bursts Onto the Scene, Triolo Heating Up in August

The Pittsburgh Pirates are rolling after a weekend sweep of the Rockies, and we’ve got plenty to break down on this week’s Bucco Brew! We start with the latest news and notes as the Pirates claim Ryan Kreidler and Jared Triolo continues to heat up in August. Triolo has been red-hot as the everyday shortstop, flashing his glove and showing real offensive growth — could he be cementing himself as a core piece for 2026 and beyond? Then, we dive into Bubba Chandler’s electric debut on Friday night. The stuff was nasty, the energy was there, and Pirates fans got a glimpse of what could be a huge arm for the future. What’s next for Bubba the rest of 2025 — starter depth, bullpen weapon, or more? We’re also joined by Anthony Murphy to talk all things Pirates prospects, including Chandler’s trajectory and who else is rising (or struggling) in the system. Finally, we wrap with a Cardinals series preview, breaking down pitching matchups, key bats to watch, and what the Pirates need to do to keep momentum rolling in the NL Central.

Cutch Speaks Out: Will the Pirates Finally Spend?

Andrew McCutchen isn’t holding back. In his recent sit-down at Wrigley with Jose Negron of DKPS, Cutch admitted he doesn’t want to “waste a roster spot” and made it clear that the Pirates have to pay to win if they want to take advantage of their pitching window. We dive into what that means for his future in Pittsburgh, how his Milwaukee stint shaped his outlook, and whether 2026 will be his 18th big-league season. Then we shift to Tommy Pham’s comments from last night, where he stressed the need for a team-wide offensive philosophy and even pointed to Jared Triolo as someone starting to buy in. Is this really an organizational approach, or just veteran leadership trying to push change from inside the clubhouse? Finally, we zoom out: Are the Pirates actually “close,” like Pham believes, or does Cutch have it right that ownership must finally spend to avoid wasting an elite pitching staff led by Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller? ⚾️ Subscribe for more Pirates talk and North Shore Nine content!
