    Pirates’ Offense Has Flipped The Script

    The Pirates were supposed to be built around pitching, but through early June, it has been the offense carrying them. On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down how Pittsburgh’s lineup has become one of the better units in baseball, why Ryan O’Hearn, Brandon Lowe, Spencer Horwitz, Endy Rodriguez, Nick Gonzales, Oneil Cruz, and Konnor Griffin have helped change the identity of this team, and why the pitching staff has not taken the step forward many expected. After a rough series against Atlanta, the question is no longer whether the Pirates can score enough. It’s whether Mitch Keller, Bubba Chandler, Paul Skenes, Dennis Santana, and the rest of the pitching staff can get back to being the strength this team was built around.

  2. The Pirates Bullpen Problem Isn’t Going Away

    The Pirates Bullpen Problem Isn’t Going Away

    Jim and DiNardo recap a rough series in Atlanta where the Pirates were swept by the Braves and once again had games get away from them late. They’ll look back at what went wrong, preview the upcoming Dodgers series, and go through the latest updates on Konnor Griffin, Brandon Lowe, and Oneil Cruz. But the main conversation is the bullpen. The Pirates keep getting enough starting pitching to stay in games, but the back end continues to cost them. At some point, this can’t just be something they talk around. It needs addressed.

  3. Did The Pirates Find A Fix For Bubba Chandler?

    Did The Pirates Find A Fix For Bubba Chandler?

    Bubba Chandler’s final line got ugly, but there was more to this outing than the box score. On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf looks at why the Pirates used Mason Montgomery as an opener, how that helped Chandler settle in early, and why the fastball command was the biggest positive from his appearance. It was not a clean finish, but after a rough stretch for Chandler, the Pirates may have found something worth building on.

    Pirates Swept By Braves After Offense Fails To Cash In

    The Pirates were swept in Atlanta after another frustrating loss to the Braves, and this one falls heavily on the offense. Spencer Horwitz opened the game with a leadoff homer, Bubba Chandler gave the Pirates a strong outing behind Mason Montgomery as the opener, but the bats failed to capitalize on multiple chances. Jim and DiNardo break down the missed opportunity in the third inning, Tyler Callihan’s rough day, the bullpen decision with Evan Sisk, why this loss is more about the offense than Don Kelly, and what Bubba Chandler can build off moving forward.

    Lowe Injured, Ashcraft Hit Hard in 6-3 Loss To Braves

    The Pirates dropped their second straight game in Atlanta, falling 6-3 to the Braves as Braxton Ashcraft was hit harder than we’ve seen in a while. Jim and Tyler break down Ashcraft’s outing, why the starting pitching has become a concern over the last couple weeks, and how the bullpen at least kept the Pirates within reach again. They also get into the offense’s chances against Spencer Strider, Tyler Callihan continuing to provide some useful at-bats, Oneil Cruz drawing three walks, Endy Rodriguez having a rough night, and Brandon Lowe leaving late after fouling a ball off his knee. The Pirates now turn to Bubba Chandler with a chance to salvage the series and finish the road trip at 3-3 before returning home to face the Dodgers.Subscribe to North Shore Nine for daily Pirates coverage, postgame shows, prospect talk, and more.

    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.
