Mitch Keller’s Rough Stretch Continues In Pirates Loss To Braves

Ryan O’Hearn Makes Pirates History As Pirates Crush Braves

Ryan O’Hearn delivered one of the greatest offensive games in Pittsburgh Pirates history, blasting three home runs, driving in 10 runs, and helping lead the Pirates to a 12-4 win over the Atlanta Braves. DiNardo and Tyler break down O’Hearn’s absurd night, Paul Skenes finally getting run support, the Pirates winning three straight, how this offense keeps producing despite injuries, and why Carmen Mlodzinski’s usage in a blowout still raised questions.

What If the Pirates Bullpen Help Isn’t Coming?

The Pirates have operated under one clear assumption: stay in the race, then fix the bullpen at the trade deadline. But what if the help they need is not actually out there? On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf looks at a crowded deadline market, the lack of obvious sellers, and why relievers like Aroldis Chapman, Garrett Whitlock, Luke Weaver, Félix Bautista, Jason Adam, A.J. Minter, Kirby Yates, Kyle Finnegan and others may either cost too much or simply not be realistic fits. The Pirates need external bullpen help if they want to make the postseason, but this market could make that much harder than expected.

Pirates MLB Draft Preview with Jim Callis: Booth, Flora Or Lombard At No. 5?

MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis joins North Shore Nine for our 2026 MLB Draft preview as the Pittsburgh Pirates get set to pick No. 5 overall. Callis has correctly projected the Pirates’ first round pick three years in a row, but this year feels much less certain. We break down the likely top of the board, why Grady Emerson, Roch Cholowsky and Vahn Lackey may be gone, and what that means for the Pirates with names like Jackson Flora, Jacob Lombard, Eric Booth Jr. and Drew Burress still in play. The guys also talk about the value of the No. 34 pick, whether the Pirates could use it to add immediate bullpen help, potential second round targets, Luke Williams as a local WPIAL name to watch, and what Justin Horowitz leaving for Washington could mean for this year’s draft process.

Can the Pirates Survive This Brutal 3 Week Stretch?

The Pirates survived Washington, but now the real test begins. On this episode of Bucco Brew, we look ahead at a brutal stretch against the Braves, Brewers, Guardians, Yankees, Cubs, and Diamondbacks while the Pirates are likely still without Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz for at least part of it. What does surviving the next three weeks actually look like? Is .500 baseball enough? We also dive into the weird All-Star conversation. Paul Skenes was named the Pirates’ lone All-Star, but Brandon Lowe, Bryan Reynolds, and Braxton Ashcraft all have strong cases. How does a team with one of the best offenses in baseball end up with zero offensive All-Stars? Plus, Endy Rodriguez and Henry Davis have quietly turned the catching situation into a strength. Is this less of a controversy now and more of a functional setup? @eddiep_photos @timelessimagery.mtl Download our app! : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-shore-nine/id6771171000 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.northshorenine.app 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! ►Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NorthShoreNine ►Website: https://www.northshorenine.com ►Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/northshorenine ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@northshorenine ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/northshorenine ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/northshorenine ►Discord: https://discord.gg/3HVYPg544m #pittsburghpirates Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Brandon Lowe Is Having a Historic Pirates Season

Brandon Lowe was not named to the National League All-Star team, but his season with the Pittsburgh Pirates is becoming impossible to ignore. On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down Lowe’s 21 home runs, his chase of Neil Walker’s Pirates second base home run record, and why this could go down as one of the greatest seasons ever by a Pirates second baseman. Alex also looks at Bryan Reynolds’ All-Star case, the Pirates’ big series win over the Nationals, the wild card race, Oneil Cruz’s absence, Spencer Horowitz’s impact, and why Pittsburgh’s path to October still feels real if the bullpen gets help.
