We’re back to wrap up the Pirates’ West Coast road trip against the Diamondbacks and Padres before diving into a big moment in franchise history — Andrew McCutchen has tied Roberto Clemente for 3rd on the Pirates’ all-time home run list. We break down just how valuable Captain Cutch has been, what his legacy means in Pittsburgh, and whether a return in 2026 makes sense.

Then, we look ahead to the upcoming series against the Astros and close the show with a great conversation featuring Anthony Murphy of Bucs On Deck, who joins us to talk Pirates prospects making noise in the system.
