The Pirates walk it off in 13 innings and Cody and Doug are here to break it all down on the NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros.

Mitch Keller was dominant, the bullpen stepped up big, and Joey Bart came through with the game-winning hit in a weird, chaotic, and much-needed series win over the Cardinals. We talk Keller’s bounce-back performance, the dominance of Dennis Santana, the bullpen usage finally making sense, and a whole lot of questionable base running from both teams.

We also dive into the latest struggles from Jack Suwinski, Joey Bart's early season impact, Ke’Bryan Hayes flashing the leather again, and what’s next for guys like Tommy Pham.

Don't forget—we gave away four Primanti Bros. sandwiches on the show, so make sure to drop a #RaiseIt in the comments for your chance to win next time.

The Pirates return home but stumble out of the gate as the Cardinals take the opener 5-3. Bryan Reynolds provided a spark with a solo homer, but the offense failed to cash in on key opportunities. We break down Bailey Falter’s performance, bullpen usage, and the lineup’s continued struggles with runners in scoring position. Can the Bucs bounce back and reclaim the momentum they built on the road?

The Pittsburgh Pirates took down the St. Louis Cardinals 8-4 on a frigid night at PNC Park, and Jim and Neil are here to break it all down on this NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. Carmen Mlodzinski delivered a strong first start of the season, Thomas Harrington picked up a rare four-inning save, and the offense finally came alive—led by Joey Bart’s breakout game, Andrew McCutchen’s continued hot streak, and big contributions from Ke’Bryan Hayes and IKF. The guys also talk bullpen flexibility, the state of the lineup, and why this felt like the first comfortable win of the year. Plus, we gave away some Primanti’s sandwiches and looked ahead to tomorrow’s Paul Skenes vs. Sonny Gray showdown.

The Pirates are off to a 3-7 start, and Opening Weekend at PNC Park was full of headlines — both on and off the field. We dive into the fallout from the Yankees series, the Roberto Clemente sign controversy, and a growing list of injuries that’s already testing the team’s depth.

We also react to Bob Nutting’s media appearance and what (if anything) they mean for the Pirates’ direction. Then, Anthony Murphy from Bucs On Deck joins the show to break down the minor league opening weekend, highlight some hot starts, and talk about which prospects could force their way to Pittsburgh in 2025.
