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

    Mitch Keller’s struggles continued at Truist Park as the Pirates dropped the series opener to the Braves after briefly taking a 3-1 lead. Keller allowed six runs in 4.2 innings, and while the bullpen kept the game from getting worse, the offense went quiet after a three-run third inning. DiNardo and Ryan Alexander break down Keller’s recent stretch, why the rotation suddenly feels less stable, the thin margins with this pitching staff, the Pirates offense going silent against Martin Perez, and what the bullpen picture looks like right now. Plus, North Shore Nine celebrates 10 years since the very first podcast and shares a little news about what’s coming next.

    Pirates Bullpen Search Begins

    Ken Rosenthal reported the Pirates are being aggressive in their search for bullpen help, and after another late collapse, it’s easy to see why.

    Pirates Bounce Back Behind Jared Jones & Carmen Mlodzinski

  4. Is Paul Skenes Finally in His First MLB Slump?

    Is Paul Skenes Finally in His First MLB Slump?

    Paul Skenes has been the most reliable arm the Pittsburgh Pirates have had, but this latest stretch has looked different. After allowing 15 runs, 13 earned, over his last four starts, Skenes once again failed to get through five innings against the Houston Astros despite throwing a career-high 109 pitches. Alex Stumpf breaks down why this does not feel like panic time, but why it is fair to say Skenes looks slightly off for the first real time in his MLB career. From the missing splinker to the changeup location, sweeper command, deeper counts, defensive issues behind him, and what it could mean with a Dodgers start potentially looming, this episode of OffBeat takes a closer look at what is actually happening with the Pirates ace.

  5. Pirates Bullpen Meltdown Wastes Another Big Offensive Night

    Pirates Bullpen Meltdown Wastes Another Big Offensive Night

    The Pittsburgh Pirates had another huge night from the offense, including a grand slam from Henry Davis, three hits from Spencer Horwitz, and more production throughout the lineup. Somehow, it still was not enough. Neil and Doug break down the Pirates’ brutal 11-9 loss to the Houston Astros, where the bullpen surrendered eight runs over the final two innings and turned what looked like another comfortable win into one of the worst losses of the season. The guys discuss the bullpen usage, Gregory Soto, Mason Montgomery, Johan Ramirez, Nick Gonzalez’s defense, Paul Skenes’ uneven outing, and why this kind of loss says a lot more about the roster than just one bad night.

  6. Brandon Lowe Has Changed Everything For The Pirates

    Brandon Lowe Has Changed Everything For The Pirates

    Alex Stumpf revisits the Pirates’ biggest offseason swing: the Brandon Lowe trade. After Lowe homered against Mike Burrows and the Astros, it feels like the perfect time to look back at why this move mattered so much for Pittsburgh. The Pirates needed left-handed power, real lineup impact, and a win-now message to the clubhouse. Lowe has delivered all of that, while also helping make Pittsburgh a more serious landing spot for Ryan O’Hearn. Alex breaks down how the trade came together, why the Pirates’ offseason may have looked very different without it, what Lowe’s power pace means historically, and why this move stands out as one of the rare aggressive Pirates trades aimed directly at winning right now.

    Pirates Offense Explodes Again as Oneil Cruz Sparks Comeback Win

    The Pittsburgh Pirates stayed hot with another big offensive night, beating the Houston Astros and moving five games over .500. Neil and Doug break down the Pirates’ fourth straight win, Oneil Cruz’s huge three-run homer, Endy Rodriguez continuing to force his way into the lineup, Jake Mangum’s four-hit night, Brandon Lowe’s power, and an offense that keeps finding different ways to produce. They also discuss Bubba Chandler’s uneven start, the value of the bullpen giving the Pirates length when needed, and the growing concern around Dennis Santana after another rough outing.

    Konnor Griffin’s Injury Suddenly Changes the Pirates’ Lineup

    Konnor Griffin was arguably the Pirates’ most valuable position player in May, tying for the team lead with 30 hits, batting .306, and finishing just behind Brandon Lowe in fWAR. Now, he starts June on the injured list. Alex Stumpf breaks down Griffin’s rapid rise, the adjustments that fueled his strong May, why this injury matters more than some of the Pirates’ other setbacks, and how thin the internal options look without him on the left side of the infield.
