    Should Mason Montgomery Be the Pirates’ Closer?

    Mason Montgomery has quietly become one of the Pirates’ most dominant relievers, and Alex Stumpf thinks it might be time to stop dancing around the obvious question: should Montgomery just be the closer? After another scoreless appearance Sunday, Montgomery has now gone all of August without allowing a run while piling up strikeouts and saves. Alex breaks down the sinker that has helped change Montgomery’s season, why his success shouldn’t be dismissed as matchup-dependent, and why the Pirates should use September to see if they already have their ninth-inning answer for 2027. OffBeat is presented by FanDuel.

    The Pirates held on for a 5-4 win over the Cardinals to take another road series, with Braxton Ashcraft capping off a stellar month of August.

    Pirates Bats Wake Up in 6-2 Win Over Cardinals

    The Pirates got some much-needed offense Saturday as Brandon Lowe and Rafael Flores each went deep in a 6-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Tyler and Doug break down Lowe's outstanding season, why Flores needs to be playing every day down the stretch, and a bullpen that has suddenly become a legitimate strength. But even in a win, the Pirates continued to show the sloppy defense, poor baserunning and fundamental mistakes that have plagued them throughout the season.

    Chris Rembert Scouting Report | Pirates Prospect Breakdown

    Pirates second-round pick Chris Rembert has gotten his professional career underway in Bradenton, and there is already plenty to dig into. Jim and Anthony Murphy break down Rembert’s impressive bat speed, advanced approach and ability to make contact while examining the biggest question in his profile: where does the power come from? They also discuss his opposite-field approach, early success on the bases, defensive outlook at second base and what the Pirates could try to unlock as he develops.

    Bad Baseball Costs the Pirates in St. Louis

    The Pirates looked every bit like a team ready for the season to end Friday night, committing three errors and managing just one run in a 4-1 loss to the Cardinals. Tyler and Doug break down another miserable performance against a left-handed starter, the Pirates’ atrocious defense, Jared Triolo inexplicably hitting leadoff, Esmerlyn Valdez’s recent swing-and-miss issues and a better, but still uneven, start from Jared Jones. They also get into the bigger problem surrounding this team: the same issues have been showing up all season, and nothing ever seems to change. Presented by FanDuel.

    The Pirates Need Answers From Their Young Pitchers

    The Pirates’ playoff hopes are virtually gone, so the goal for the final month has to change. Alex Stumpf explains why Pittsburgh should use September to get real answers from its young pitchers, including Hunter Barco, Khristian Curtis, Wilber Dotel, Antwone Kelly and Thomas Harrington. With an open spot in the rotation, there are opportunities to find out who could actually factor into the Pirates’ plans for 2027. Alex also looks ahead to the construction of next year’s rotation, the need for veteran stability and what the Pirates could ultimately decide to do with Mitch Keller this offseason.

    How Did the Pirates Go From MLB’s 2nd-Best Offense to the Worst?

    The Pirates entered the All-Star break with a 110 wRC+, tied for the second-best mark in baseball. Since the break? Their 76 wRC+ ranks dead last. Jim and Tyler break down how Pittsburgh’s offense completely fell apart, including the massive second-half declines from Bryan Reynolds, Spencer Horwitz and others, the impact of injuries, their continued inability to hit left-handed pitching and one very interesting theory about MLB’s midseason AI ban. They also discuss Endy Rodriguez’s latest major injury, what it means for his future and the Pirates’ catching situation, plus the latest CBA proposals involving weekly rosters, the Rule 5 Draft and a dramatically different MLB offseason calendar.

    Endy Rodriguez’s Future With the Pirates Is Now in Question

    Another major injury has put Endy Rodriguez’s future with the Pirates in question. Alex Stumpf looks at Endy’s latest surgery, his expected recovery timeline, the possibility of a difficult roster decision this winter, and where he fits in a catching room that now includes Rafael Flores Jr. and Henry Davis. Rodriguez showed real signs of turning the corner offensively in 2026, which makes another lengthy absence even tougher to swallow.
