Happy Opening Day! Baseball is officially back! In this episode of Bucco Bantr, we dive into the upcoming 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates season with Anthony DiNardo of NS9, Jim Stamm of Pirates Fan Forum, and Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. We break down the team’s offseason moves, analyze the projected lineup and rotation, and discuss key storylines heading into Opening Day. Can the Bucs take a big step forward in their rebuild? Which young players are poised for a breakout year? And what will it take for the Pirates to compete in the NL Central? Tune in for all that and more as we set the stage for another season of Pirates baseball.
