The Pirates stay hot with a 3-1 win over the Giants, led by Bailey Falter’s crafty start, Tommy Pham’s continued tear, and three perfect innings from Braxton Ashcraft. Jim and Doug recap all the key moments, including Liover Peguero’s big night, a hilariously bad Giants blunder, and why Ashcraft might deserve a shot in the rotation soon.

The Pirates Win a Wild One in San Francisco | Keller Struggles, Cutch Delivers | NS9 Postgame Show

The Pirates take down the Giants 6 to 5 in one of the most entertaining games of the year and Tyler and Neil are here to break it all down

Mitch Keller had his worst start in nearly two years, lasting just two innings and throwing 73 pitches. But the bullpen, led by Johan Ramirez, Genesis Cabrera, Isaac Mattson, and Dennis Santana, held the line. Andrew McCutchen delivered the decisive blow with a clutch two run homer, and David Bednar survived a wild ninth to secure the win.

Oh, and we gave away some Sammies. #RaiseIt

The Pirates just allowed one run in 30 innings… and somehow we’re still not sure if they’re buyers or sellers. On today’s Bucco Brew, we break down a dominant series win over the Diamondbacks, including Paul Skenes’ latest masterpiece and Andrew Heaney’s potential farewell start. Then we dive into Ben Cherington’s Sunday press conference and try to decipher what “building toward 2026” really means. Are the Pirates about to deal Bednar? Keller? Or do nothing at all?

Plus — Anthony Murphy joins the show to talk prospect updates, including Bubba Chandler’s hot streak, Cristian Florentino’s breakout, and where things stand with Termarr Johnson and Esmerlyn Valdez.

We wrap with a preview of the upcoming Giants series and what this week could mean for the entire future of the Pirates’ 2025 season.

Paul Skenes was downright filthy. Tyler and Jim break down another dominant outing from the Pirates ace, who tossed six shutout innings with nine strikeouts and stranded every runner the D-Backs put on. We dive into the ridiculous stats behind his start, his historic first-inning dominance, and why the NL Cy Young race might be his to lose.

The offense also showed up. Bryan Reynolds had one of his best games in weeks, Oneil Cruz continued to flash superstar potential, and Tommy Pham stayed hot. The guys discuss Reynolds’ importance to the team’s future, Cruz’s post-All-Star break turnaround, and how this team looks heading into the trade deadline.

Oh — and the Pirates just held the Diamondbacks scoreless for an entire series. We wrap with thoughts on Carmen Mlodzinski, the bullpen stepping up, and what could be the final days for a few Pirates at the deadline.

The Pirates blank the D-backs 2–0, and we’re breaking it all down. Oneil Cruz delivers the big blow with a 2-run homer, and Andrew Heaney—likely making his final start as a Pirate—throws a gem that no one saw coming. We talk about Heaney’s rollercoaster season, the bullpen stepping up, how David Bednar and Dennis Santana have been light out, and how the Pirates continue to stay afloat despite offensive struggles.

Plus: what’s the realistic trade return for Heaney? And is Cruz finally starting to click at the plate?

All that and more in tonight’s postgame breakdown. Watch now and sound off in the comments ⬇️

The Pirates honored Dave Parker with throwback jerseys, custom patches, and a special night at PNC Park... then delivered an absolute dud on the field. In this NS9 Postgame Show, DiNardo and Jim react to the lifeless 1-0 extra-inning loss to Arizona — a game where the Pirates managed just one hit and blew a golden opportunity to walk it off in the 10th.

The crew breaks down:

The chaotic 11th inning collapse
