    Paul Skenes finished his 2026 season by reaching 200 strikeouts as the Pirates beat the Cardinals 2-1 in their final game at PNC Park.

    The Pirates Have One HUGE Problem To Fix This Winter

    The Pirates' offense improved in 2026, but one major weakness never went away: they simply could not hit left-handed pitching. Alex Stumpf breaks down Pittsburgh's struggles against left-handed starters, the development of Esmerlyn Valdez and Konnor Griffin, and why the Pirates may need to look outside the organization for another right-handed bat this winter. Alex also explains why Brandon Lowe should remain the Pirates' top free-agent priority and looks at possible fits including Taylor Ward and Eugenio Suárez. OffBeat is presented by FanDuel.

    Pirates’ Lefty Problem Strikes Again in 5-1 Loss to Cardinals

    The Pittsburgh Pirates’ five-game winning streak came to an end with a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. Jim and Doug break down another rough night against left-handed pitching, a bullpen game that never quite came together, Khristian Curtis’ latest outing and the continued development of Rafael Flores Jr. They also look ahead to 2027 and discuss whether the Pirates may already have enough starting pitching in place to turn their attention toward fixing the offense this offseason. The Pirates are now 80-78 with four games remaining. One more win guarantees at least a .500 season, while two more would secure their first winning season since 2018.

    Braxton Ashcraft Was The Pirates’ Best Pitcher. How High Is His Ceiling?

    Braxton Ashcraft entered 2026 trying to prove he could handle a full season in a Major League rotation. He leaves it as an All-Star and the Pirates’ Steve Blass Award winner as the team’s top pitcher. Alex Stumpf looks back at Ashcraft’s breakout season, why there may still be another level for him to reach in 2027, and what his emergence means for a Pirates rotation that also includes Paul Skenes, Jared Jones and Bubba Chandler.

    Jared Jones DOMINATES As Pirates Shut Out Cardinals

    Jared Jones was brilliant as the Pirates shut out the Cardinals 2-0. Jones carried a perfect game into the sixth inning and finished with seven scoreless innings, allowing just one hit with no walks and nine strikeouts. DiNardo and Tyler break down another dominant outing, the development of Jones’ fastball and what his finish to 2026 means for Pittsburgh’s rotation heading into next season. They also discuss Bryan Reynolds reaching 40 doubles, Spencer Horwitz showing some signs of life offensively, Luke Weaver’s strong inning and another stressful Gregory Soto save.

    The Pirates HAVE To Find A Way To Keep Brandon Lowe

    Brandon Lowe was acquired to help the Pirates win now, but after what he has meant to this team both on and off the field, can Pittsburgh really afford to let him walk? Alex Stumpf looks at Lowe’s historic season, his surprising defensive turnaround, what a qualifying offer and multi-year contract could look like, and why the Pirates need to make a serious attempt to keep him. If 2027 is supposed to be the year this team takes another step, replacing its best hitter would be a pretty difficult place to start. OffBeat is presented by FanDuel.

    Brandon Lowe Won’t Stop & Ben Cherington Has A LOT To Say

    The Pirates may be eliminated, but they certainly aren't playing like it. Pittsburgh swept the Royals with three comeback wins, Brandon Lowe continues to make his case for sticking around beyond 2026, Oneil Cruz joined some elite Pirates history and Rafael Flores Jr. delivered another huge moment. DiNardo and Jim break down what this late-season run actually means and which pieces of this team should be part of the plan moving forward. Plus, Ben Cherington had plenty to say on Sunday about the Pirates' progress in 2026, the bullpen turnaround, the young core, what went wrong and why he believes the organization is entering 2027 from a much stronger position.
