| The Pirates MUST Fix Their Bullpen Before the Trade Deadline | 31 juil. 2026 | 00:16:36 | |
The Pirates’ bullpen suffered its 23rd loss of the season Thursday night, leaving the team with more bullpen losses than saves. Alex Stumpf explains why the problem goes beyond one Gregory Soto blown save and why Pittsburgh desperately needs an established late-inning reliever before Monday’s trade deadline. Could Kansas City left-hander Daniel Lynch IV be an option? Alex discusses the recent scouting connection between the Pirates and Royals, additional relievers Pittsburgh could target and why this season presents an opportunity Ben Cherington cannot afford to waste.

| Pirates Fall Back to .500 After Walk-Off Loss to Reds | 31 juil. 2026 | 00:38:04 | |
The Pirates received everything they could have reasonably expected from a bullpen game, but the offense failed to deliver in a 3-2 walk-off loss to the Cincinnati Reds. Tyler and Jim discuss Yohan Ramirez’s continued dominance, Hunter Barco escaping trouble, Mason Montgomery’s perfect seven-pitch inning and the decision to remove him before the ninth. They also examine the Pirates’ missed opportunities, Jhostynxon Garcia’s struggles, Gregory Soto’s costly walk and Don Kelly’s decision to pinch-run Billy Cook for Esmerlyn Valdez. Pittsburgh has now lost five of seven and fallen back to .500. Pinned comment: What frustrated you most tonight: the offense failing with the bases loaded, Mason Montgomery being pulled after seven pitches or the Billy Cook pinch-running decision? : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-shore-nine/id6771171000 Join this channel to get access to perks: 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’ Lefty Problem Is Costing Them in the Wild Card Race | 30 juil. 2026 | 00:15:23 | |
The Pirates entered Wednesday with one of baseball’s worst offenses against left-handed starters. After Eduardo Rodriguez delivered eight scoreless innings, that weakness has become impossible to ignore. Alex Stumpf examines Pittsburgh’s fifth consecutive loss against a left-handed starter, the missed opportunity to strengthen its Wild Card position and why the lineup cannot depend on another trade to solve this problem. He also discusses Marcell Ozuna’s continued struggles, the importance of getting Oneil Cruz back and why the Pirates still need to prioritize bullpen help at the trade deadline.

| Pittsburgh Pirates Trade Deadline: The Moves Ben Cherington Must Make | 30 juil. 2026 | 01:46:30 | |
The Pirates are buyers at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, but how aggressive should Ben Cherington be? DiNardo, Tyler, and Jim rank the available bullpen arms, debate the best platoon bats for a lineup that struggles against left-handed pitching, examine the starting-pitcher market and build three mock trades centered on Kirby Yates, Lane Thomas, Luke Weaver and AJ Minter. Can the Pirates fix their bullpen without gutting the farm system? Is Lane Thomas the right fit? Should Carmen Mlodzinski be included in a blockbuster deal with the Mets? Which prospects should be off limits? Subscribe to North Shore Nine for complete Pittsburgh Pirates coverage throughout the trade deadline and the playoff race. Download our app!

Cody and Doug breakdown the Pirates 3-0 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks as they finish the homestand 2-4. Jared Jones collected a quality start, but it wasn't enough.

| Pirates’ Comeback Only Made This Loss Hurt More | 29 juil. 2026 | 00:16:14 | |
The Pirates erased a six-run deficit and forced extra innings Tuesday, but the loss to Arizona still felt like another missed opportunity during their biggest homestand in years. Alex Stumpf breaks down the continued growth of Bubba Chandler, a strong showing from the bullpen, the importance of securing a tiebreaker over the Diamondbacks and why this team has the pieces to make noise in the postseason. He also explains why Ben Cherington still needs to add multiple relievers before the trade deadline. Subscribe to Book Rule Bucs: Subscribe to North Shore Nine for daily Pittsburgh Pirates coverage.

| Pirates Erase 6-Run Deficit, Still Lose Wild One to Diamondbacks | 29 juil. 2026 | 00:42:05 | |
The Pirates looked dead for seven innings, then somehow erased a 6-0 deficit and forced extra innings before falling 8-7 to the Diamondbacks. Brandon Lowe and Bryan Reynolds went back-to-back, while Brandon Eisert and Ron Marinaccio gave the offense a chance to complete the comeback. A rough start from Bubba Chandler and sloppy defense ultimately proved too much to overcome. Cody and DiNardo break down the comeback, Jared Triolo’s costly mistake, Chandler’s uneven night, the recent improvement from the bullpen and why the rubber match now feels like the biggest game of the season.

| Brandon Lowe Just Proved Why the Pirates Needed Him | 28 juil. 2026 | 00:16:08 | |
Brandon Lowe delivered when the Pirates needed him most, driving in their first run, scoring the tying run and producing the walk-off hit against the Diamondbacks. Alex Stumpf explains why Lowe’s veteran presence has become so important for a Pirates lineup dealing with injuries to Esmerlyn Valdez, Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz. Plus, updates on Endy Rodriguez’s return and the playoff atmosphere surrounding one of Pittsburgh’s biggest games in years. OffBeat is presented by FanDuel.

Brandon Lowe capped a three-hit night with a walk-off single in the 10th as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-2 and moved into a tie for the final NL Wild Card spot. Neil and Doug break down Bryan Reynolds’ game-tying double, Mitch Keller’s third consecutive solid start, a huge performance from the bullpen and Mason Montgomery’s escape after Pittsburgh’s defense created chaos in extra innings.

| Pirates Face Their Biggest Series of the Season… Again | 27 juil. 2026 | 01:10:24 | |
The Pirates enter another “biggest series of the season,” but this one could have legitimate implications in the National League Wild Card race. Pittsburgh sits one game behind the Diamondbacks for the final spot and can secure the season-series tiebreaker by taking two of three at PNC Park. DiNardo and Jim break down the pitching matchups featuring Mitch Keller, Bubba Chandler and Jared Jones, along with why Arizona’s struggles against right-handed pitching could favor the Pirates. They also discuss Derek Curiel officially joining the organization, Pittsburgh’s plan to unlock more power from its first-round pick and how his under-slot signing helped strengthen the rest of the draft class. Plus, Spencer Horwitz and Endy Rodriguez could be nearing their returns, Esmerlyn Valdez continues to prove his breakout is real and the bullpen remains a major concern before the trade deadline.

| Why the Pirates Bet on Derek Curiel at No. 5 | 27 juil. 2026 | 00:15:50 | |
Pirates first-round pick Derek Curiel is officially under contract, and Alex Stumpf came away from his introductory press conference impressed by more than the talent. Alex breaks down what LSU coach Jay Johnson said about Curiel’s growth, the work ethic that started in his family’s backyard batting cage, his early connection to Jacob Gonzalez and why Curiel’s development mindset made him the kind of player Pittsburgh was willing to bet on with the No. 5 pick.

| Sammy Stafura Scouting Report | Pirates Prospect Breakdown | 25 juil. 2026 | 00:20:04 | |
Sammy Stafura has turned a slow start into one of the hottest stretches anywhere in the Pirates farm system. Since June 14, the shortstop is hitting .359 with a .420 on base percentage, an .816 slugging percentage, 13 home runs and 14 stolen bases. Jim and Anthony Murphy break down what has changed at the plate, how much of the power surge is real, why Stafura’s defense and speed still provide the foundation of his game, when he could reach Altoona and whether his rising value could make him part of a trade deadline deal.

| Pirates Waste Jared Jones, Fall to Cubs in Extras | 25 juil. 2026 | 00:35:57 | |

Tyler and Neil break down the bases loaded failure in the fifth inning, Henry Davis’ difficult night behind the plate and on the bases, Jake Mangum’s baffling bunt attempt in the tenth and the continued struggles against left handed pitching.

| How It All Fell Apart for Dennis Santana | 24 juil. 2026 | 00:14:49 | |
The Pittsburgh Pirates finally moved on from Dennis Santana, designating the struggling reliever for assignment after acquiring Ron Marinaccio from the San Diego Padres for $500,000 in international bonus pool space. Anthony and Tyler break down what Marinaccio could offer, why the Pirates should have started churning through bullpen options months ago and how the decision to trade David Bednar looks even worse now. They also put Pittsburgh’s recent seven and five stretch into perspective, discuss Spencer Horwitz nearing a return and preview an important series against the Chicago Cubs.

| Pirates Finally Move On From Dennis Santana | 24 juil. 2026 | 01:00:46 | |
The Pittsburgh Pirates finally moved on from Dennis Santana, designating the struggling reliever for assignment while acquiring Ron Marinaccio from the San Diego Padres for $500,000 in international bonus pool space. It is a necessary bullpen change, but it cannot be Ben Cherington’s final move before the MLB trade deadline. DiNardo and Tyler break down what the Pirates might see in Marinaccio, whether Pittsburgh can still be trusted to fix struggling pitchers, and why the decision to trade David Bednar looks even worse now. The guys also put the Pirates’ difficult stretch into perspective. Despite several frustrating losses and an unreliable bullpen, Pittsburgh is 7 and 5 against the Braves, Brewers, Guardians and Yankees while remaining firmly in the National League Wild Card race. Plus, Spencer Horwitz is nearing a return, the roster decision that could follow, and a preview of an important home series against the Chicago Cubs. @eddiep_photos Download our app!

| Mitch Keller Finally Looked Like Himself Again | 23 juil. 2026 | 00:16:07 | |
Mitch Keller delivered five scoreless innings at Yankee Stadium, but the results were only part of the story. Alex Stumpf breaks down Keller’s aggressive, fastball heavy approach, why the outing looked more like the 2023 version of Keller and what it could mean for the Pirates during the second half of the season. Alex also opens with another bullpen collapse after Bubba Chandler’s six and a third scoreless innings were wasted, and why the Pirates cannot afford to wait until the trade deadline to add outside help.

| Bubba Chandler Deserved Better in Brutal 2-0 Los | 23 juil. 2026 | 00:36:49 | |
Bubba Chandler delivered one of the best starts of his young career, holding the Yankees in check over 6.1 innings while throwing only 84 pitches. Then Don Kelly pulled him for Brandon Eisert, and the game quickly slipped away. DiNardo and Tyler discuss Kelly’s costly decision, Chandler’s continued development, another lifeless performance from the Pirates offense and why Esmerlyn Valdez was one of the few hitters who handled his opportunities correctly.

The Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the New York Yankees 5-3 in extra innings behind five scoreless innings from Mitch Keller and home runs from Nick Gonzales and Jacob Gonzalez. Neil and Doug discuss Keller’s much-needed bounce-back performance, another game won by the bottom of the lineup, Carmen Mlodzinski’s difficult outing, encouraging work from Mason Montgomery and Gregory Soto, and why fixing the bullpen could make the Pirates a legitimate postseason threat.

| The Oneil Cruz Trade Rumors Have Lost the Plot | 22 juil. 2026 | 00:18:17 | |
Bob Nightengale says the Pirates could be willing to listen on Oneil Cruz as they search for bullpen and rotation help. Alex Stumpf explains why trading Cruz now would solve nothing, why his ceiling still matters, and why Pittsburgh should use prospect capital to acquire multiple relievers instead. Before landing on the injured list, Cruz had 14 home runs, 44 RBI, 21 stolen bases and a 123 wRC+ through 64 games. The offense may have survived without him, but that does not mean the Pirates would be better without him.

Alex Stumpf breaks down why the Pirates' biggest need at the MLB Trade Deadline isn't another bat. With the offense producing and the rotation largely set, the biggest weakness remains a bullpen that has struggled to protect leads all season. Alex also discusses Braxton Ashcraft's rough outing, whether workload should become a concern, and why adding experienced relievers could make all the difference in a postseason race.

Jim and Ryan discuss how players like Billy Cook, Tyler Callihan, Endy Rodriguez, Jacob Gonzalez, Jake Mangum and Esmerlyn Valdez have stepped up throughout the season. Even with Oneil Cruz, Konnor Griffin, Spencer Horwitz and Brandon Lowe missing time, the Pirates continue to find different ways to win.

| Breaking Down Every Pirates Pick From the 2026 MLB Draft | 15 juil. 2026 | 00:25:09 | |
The Pittsburgh Pirates completed the 2026 MLB Draft with 21 selections, led by LSU outfielder Derek Curiel at No. 5 overall. Baseball America’s Carlos Collazo said it might be his favorite draft of the year, but what made Pittsburgh’s class stand out? Jim breaks down every selection, what each player does well, the biggest concern and what the Pirates appear to be betting on in development. The class began with contact, defense and strong offensive foundations in Curiel, Aiden Ruiz, Chris Rembert and Andruw Giles before shifting heavily toward pitching. We also discuss Jason DeCaro, Tre Phelps, Spencer Evans, Grant Govel, Malachi Washington and the rest of Pittsburgh’s 2026 draft class. Did the Pirates land one of the best classes in baseball, and which player outside Curiel are you most interested in following?

| Dennis Santana Is Running Out of Time With the Pirates | 15 juil. 2026 | 00:16:46 | |

This season, his command has disappeared, his walk rate has nearly doubled and his roster spot could become vulnerable as the trade deadline approaches. Alex Stumpf breaks down what has changed, whether a different pitch mix or mechanical adjustment could help and why rediscovering the old Dennis Santana would be nearly as valuable as adding another reliever through a trade.

The Pirates are sending Paul Skenes and Braxton Ashcraft to the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, but neither pitcher will actually appear.

The Pirates have another major injury to deal with after Konnor Griffin is expected to miss about two months. Does that change Pittsburgh's trade deadline plans and force Ben Cherington to target a shortstop?

| Pirates Pitching Implodes Again in 10-5 Loss to Braves | 09 juil. 2026 | 00:40:52 | |
The Pittsburgh Pirates fell 10 to 5 to the Atlanta Braves, and Cody and Doug had plenty to say about it. Mitch Keller lasted just three innings, the bullpen once again failed to keep the game within reach, and the frustration around the pitching staff continues to grow. On the positive side, Jake Mangum had a huge day at the plate, Bryan Reynolds and Esmerlyn Valdez went back to back, and the offense continued to show fight. But with the Pirates getting real production from the lineup, the question becomes even louder: how much longer can they afford to let the pitching staff drag them down?

Konnor Griffin’s injury has changed the conversation around the Pittsburgh Pirates trade deadline. On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf looks at why shutting Griffin down was the right decision, how thin the Pirates infield depth has become, and why Jared Triolo, Nick Gonzales and Tyler Callihan may not be enough to get this team through the rest of the season.

| Ryan O’Hearn Carries the Pirates After Konnor Griffin Injury | 08 juil. 2026 | 00:15:20 | |
Ryan O’Hearn delivered one of the best single-game performances in Pittsburgh Pirates history, driving in a franchise-record 10 runs with three home runs in a massive win over the Braves. Alex Stumpf breaks down why O’Hearn’s historic night mattered even more after the Pirates learned Konnor Griffin is headed to the injured list with a left ring finger injury. With Griffin out, Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz still working back, and the Pirates trying to survive a brutal stretch before the All-Star break, this was exactly the kind of win they needed. O’Hearn didn’t just carry the offense. He changed the entire feeling around the team for at least one night. Subscribe to North Shore Nine for daily Pittsburgh Pirates coverage.
