The Pirates drop to 1-5 after a brutal 7–0 loss to the Rays in Thomas Harrington’s MLB debut — and we’re breaking it all down on tonight’s NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros.

Jim and Doug dive into a flat, lifeless offensive performance from Pittsburgh, Shane Baz’s dominance, and the laundry list of issues plaguing the Bucs lineup — from base-running blunders to coaching concerns. We also take a deeper look at Harrington’s debut: what went wrong, signs of promise, and whether he should get another shot.

Plus: Oneil Cruz’s continued struggles in center and how this roster construction has left the Pirates stuck in neutral to start the year.

💬 Sound off in the comments — what’s the most frustrating part of this start for you?

The Pirates are off to a brutal start in 2025, dropping 3 of 4 in Miami thanks to bullpen blowups and defensive misadventures. We break down David Bednar’s back-to-back blown saves, Colin Holderman’s struggles, and Oneil Cruz’s wild weekend in center field. Is this just early-season rust or a sign of more pain ahead? Plus, we look ahead to the Pirates’ upcoming series vs. the Rays.

The 2025 Pirates season is officially underway… and it already feels a little too familiar. In today’s episode of Bucco Brew, we recap a frustrating 1–3 series loss to the Marlins and ask the question on every fan’s mind: is this just early-season rust, or are we in for another year of Pirates pain?

We break down: ⚾ David Bednar’s shaky start — two appearances, two blown saves, and plenty of questions

From blown leads to positional experiments, it was a rough opening weekend — but we’ve got thoughts, reactions, and just a little bit of optimism (maybe).
