    The Pirates Told Us to Hold Them Accountable. So Here We Are.

    The Pirates said the expectation for 2026 was simple: make the playoffs. Period. Full stop. Now they're 58-62, 5.5 games out of a Wild Card spot with five teams to jump, and the warning signs are piling up. The offense still can't solve left-handed pitching, the starting rotation has suddenly become a major concern, and after another rough week, this season is beginning to feel a little too familiar. On today's Bucco Brew, we look at where the Pirates actually stand, how important this upcoming stretch has become, and revisit Travis Williams' comments about expectations and accountability. If the organization wanted Pirates fans to hold them accountable, what does that accountability look like if this season gets away from them? Bucco Brew is powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea.

    Pirates Hit Rock Bottom After Embarrassing Mets Series Loss

    Sunday felt like rock bottom for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Alex Stumpf reacts to an embarrassing series loss to the Mets that gave the Pirates six straight series losses and left their 2026 season on life support. Alex breaks down Jared Jones' rough outing, Paul Skenes' recent struggles, the regression throughout the starting rotation, the continued inability to hit left-handed pitching and the failure to add a right-handed bat at the trade deadline. The Pirates head to Miami with almost no margin for error left. Is this season already over? OffBeat is presented by FanDuel.

    Pirates Lose Again: 11-1 to Mets, Sixth Straight Series Dropped

    The Pirates followed up Saturday’s encouraging win with one of their ugliest performances of the season, falling 11-1 to the New York Mets and dropping their sixth straight series. Jim and Doug break down a rough afternoon for Jared Jones, another miserable showing by the Pirates against a left-handed starter, the decision to bring Evan Sisk into a bases-loaded situation and the continued decline of Pittsburgh’s starting rotation. Jake Mangum provided basically all of the offense, while Camilo Doval and Mason Montgomery were among the few bright spots out of the bullpen. Now 58-62, the Pirates are running out of time to make the kind of run needed to get back into the postseason race. The NS9 Postgame Show is powered by Primanti Brothers.

    Bubba Chandler Shoves as Pirates FINALLY Break Out in 9-0 Win

    The Pirates finally found their offense in a 9-0 win over the Mets, and Bubba Chandler gave them exactly the start they desperately needed. DiNardo and Ty Ty break down Chandler’s six scoreless innings, the continued growth in his fastball command and slider, and why this may have been one of his best starts of the season. They also discuss Ronny Simon providing a much-needed spark, Jake Mangum collecting three hits, Brandon Lowe hitting his 25th homer, Endy Rodriguez’s latest injury concern, and strong work from Lake Bachar and Kirby Yates out of the bullpen. Can this finally be the start of the winning streak the Pirates need to get themselves back into the race? The NS9 Postgame Show is powered by Primanti Brothers.

    Carlos Tejera Scouting Report | Pirates Prospect Breakdown

    Pirates prospect Carlos Tejera is quickly becoming a name to know. The 18-year-old outfielder signed for just $90,000, spent only 18 games in the Dominican Summer League before being pushed stateside, and has already produced a max exit velocity of 110 mph. That type of raw power at his age is incredibly rare, especially for a player who still projects to stick in center field. On this episode of Bucs On Deck, we break down Tejera’s rapid rise, the underlying numbers that have the Pirates excited, his defensive projection, what comes next in his development and why the early buzz around him is drawing comparisons to Edward Florentino.

    Pirates Drop 4th Straight as Playoff Hopes Fade Fast

    The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped their fourth straight game as their slide continued against the New York Mets. Carmen Mlodzinski struggled in his return to the starting rotation, allowing five earned runs over three innings, while the Pirates offense once again had major problems against a left-handed starter. DiNardo and Jim break down Mlodzinski’s outing and debate whether the Pirates need to use an opener the next time he takes the mound. They also discuss another dominant performance from Yohan Ramirez, Luke Weaver’s Pirates debut, Ronnie Simon providing a spark, and playoff odds that have now fallen to just 10.3%.

    Oneil Cruz’s Return Is Becoming a Major Concern

    Oneil Cruz is eligible to return from the 60-day injured list, but the Pittsburgh Pirates still do not have a firm timeline for his comeback. Alex Stumpf explains why the continued uncertainty surrounding Cruz’s hand injury is becoming increasingly concerning. Even when Cruz begins a rehab assignment, questions will remain about his timing, power and ability to immediately resemble the hitter who carried Pittsburgh’s offense earlier this season. The Pirates also chose not to add another hitter at the trade deadline, partly because they expected Cruz and Ryan O’Hearn to eventually return. With Bryan Reynolds, Jake Mangum and Esmerlyn Valdez struggling lately, that decision is beginning to look much riskier. Presented by FanDuel.

    Pirates Fall to Last Place: Is the Season Already Over?

    The Pirates dropped three of four games in Milwaukee and have officially fallen into last place in the NL Central. They are now three games under .500, five games out of a Wild Card spot and sitting at just a 12.6% probability of reaching the postseason. Is the Pirates’ season already over, or is there still enough time for them to recover? Ty Ty and DiNardo break down how Pittsburgh reached this point and what would need to happen for the team to climb back into the race. Mitch Keller has also been transferred to the 60-Day IL, opening another hole in the starting rotation. Don Kelly announced that Carmen Mlodzinski will return to the rotation and start Friday. Is Mlodzinski the best option, and could removing him from the bullpen create another problem for the Pirates? Plus, Austin Hays, Rob Refsnyder, Mitch Garver, Jorge Soler and Andrew McCutchen have all recently become available. After designating Marcell Ozuna for assignment, should the Pirates take a chance on any of them? @eddiep_photos Download our app! : https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-shore-nine/id6771171000 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.northshorenine.app 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!
