Today, Don Kelly and the Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to an extension bringing him back as the skipper of the 2026 Pirates. It was also announced immediately after his press conference that General Manager Ben Cherington has been reassured that he will return for the 2026 season. Seems like not much change is happening among the front office immediately after the Pirates finished with 91 losses. Thoughts?

The Pirates’ 2025 season officially closed with a 4–1 loss to the Atlanta Braves, finishing the year at 71–91. In this final NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros, Anthony DiNardo and Jim Rosati break down the game and reflect on a long, frustrating season. They highlight Johan Oviedo’s outing—five innings, three hits, three walks, three strikeouts, and two earned runs, including a first-inning homer to Ronald Acuña Jr. Despite early command issues, Oviedo settled in and capped a solid late-season stretch with a 3.57 ERA over nine starts. The guys discuss his improved fastball metrics, steady arsenal, and why he’s earned a rotation spot heading into 2026. Offensively, the Pirates again struggled. Even with early chances against retiring Braves starter Charlie Morton and a lone run from back-to-back doubles by Bryan Reynolds and Joey Bart, the bats couldn’t deliver. Anthony and Jim also reminisce about Morton’s career, his impact on Pittsburgh’s playoff teams, and his memorable final matchup with Andrew McCutchen. It’s a fitting microcosm of the year: solid starting pitching, quiet offense. Watch as the crew recaps the finale and shares hopes for needed offseason changes and a brighter 2026. 👉 Subscribe and join North Shore Nine for offseason analysis, emergency pods, and all things Pirates baseball!

Paul Skenes didn’t hold back, telling teammates it’s time to “look in the mirror” and make the sacrifices needed to win. On this Bucco Brew, we break down Skenes’ challenge and what it means for the Pirates’ clubhouse. We also debate whether Andrew McCutchen just took his final at-bat at PNC Park—and if the Pirates should bring the franchise legend back next season. Plus, GM Ben Cherington says he’s operating as if he’ll return in 2026 and highlighted an improved farm system he plans to leverage for trades. Finally, we compare Pittsburgh’s managerial choices of Derek Shelton and Don Kelly to the Reds’ bold move to hire Terry Francona, and why the two clubs—once projected as equals—are now worlds apart. ☕ Powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea 🎧 Watch or listen on your favorite podcast app and join the conversation in the comments!

We push back on the national trade chatter and lay out why the Pirates shouldn’t entertain it—period. From roster construction to timeline, we talk realistic paths to keep your ace in Pittsburgh and what an early-career plan could look like. Then we dive into Rafael Flores’ surprise call-up and debut. Why adding him now (9/18) makes sense for the 40-man, what we saw in his first game (hard contact, first MLB knock, drew a walk), and how his bat profiles alongside the current lineup. We also break down MLB’s new “recovery period” rule for amateurs—what it changes for scouting HS/college arms and how it could shape future drafts.

The NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros breaks down the Pirates’ 4–3 loss to the Nationals—a game that started with a three-run first and then a long, quiet stretch from the offense. We dig into Oneil Cruz’s focus and base running lapse (despite some good swings), Bryan Reynolds’ effort on a key ball in play, and why accountability and fundamentals remain glaring issues under Don Kelly vs. the Derek Shelton era. On the bright side, Mike Burrows’ changeup and early dominance were encouraging, Justin Lawrence looked solid in his first action since an early-season injury, and the bullpen/rotation picture shows signs of promise—even as the Pirates drop the series and fall 20 games under .500.
