Pittsburgh Pirates Come Crashing Back to Earth in 12-2 Loss to Cubs

North Shore Nine — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 23:00:00 GMT

The Pirates’ four-game winning streak came to an ugly end Friday afternoon as the Cubs hammered Pittsburgh 12-2 at Wrigley Field.

Doug breaks down a bullpen game that unraveled quickly, Wilber Dotel’s costly fundamental mistake in the second inning, another rough day against Shota Imanaga, and why the Pirates simply cannot afford to keep giving games away with the little things.

More importantly, North Shore Nine is raising money for the Roberto Clemente Museum. We are matching every dollar donated up to $1,050, so donate through the fundraiser attached to this video and help us blow past our goal.

PIRATES POSTCAST: Pirates Young Pitchers ROCKED as Bucs Drop Opener to Cubs

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 21:31:14 GMT

Nathan breaks down game one of the series between the Pirates and Cubs. The Pirates young rookie pitchers all struggled today. Wilber Dotel, Khristian Curtis, and Antwone Kelly all did not have great welcomes to the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field. The Bucs offense scored 2 runs off of Shota Imanaga which is a rare occurrence for them to even get one off of them in recent history. The Pirates will send Paul Skenes to the mound tomorrow to face Clay Holmes in game two.

PITTSBURGH POWER: Pirates Pitching Answers Crisis, Jared Jones DELIVERS When Ashcraft Goes Down

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 13:22:20 GMT

Pittsburgh Pirates overcome adversity as Jared Jones delivers a dominant start just as the team loses Braxton Ashcraft to right arm discomfort. Is Jones ready to step up as a true co-ace and anchor the rotation in Ashcraft’s absence? Gary Morgan breaks down Jones’ near no-hitter against the Chicago White Sox, explores the bullpen’s resurgence with Luke Weaver and Mason Montgomery, and questions whether bullpen games or a call-up could fill the gap in the pitching staff.

Oneil Cruz’s explosive return transforms the Pirates lineup, sparking renewed offensive consistency and defensive improvement in center field. Morgan highlights Cruz’s elite tools, growing plate discipline—especially against lefties—and the difference his presence makes for both the outfield and batting order. Plus, the episode marks the 25th anniversary of September 11th, reflecting on its profound impact on Pittsburgh, the Pirates, and the role of baseball in times of national crisis.

What Do the Pirates Do With Braxton Ashcraft Now?

North Shore Nine — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Braxton Ashcraft is headed to the injured list with right arm discomfort, but the early news that there is no structural damage is encouraging.

Alex Stumpf looks at what Ashcraft’s injury means for the remainder of 2026, why there was little reason for the Pirates to shut him down earlier, and whether Pittsburgh should even consider bringing him back this season. Plus, what could the rotation look like without him and why Ashcraft has cemented himself as a major part of the Pirates’ future.

PIRATES POSTCAST: Jared Jones MAGNIFICENT to LEAD the Pirates to a Sweep of the White Sox

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 11 Sep 2026 02:35:29 GMT

Jared Jones took a no-hitter into the 7th inning as the Pirates pulled out a 2-0 victory to sweep the first-place White Sox for their fourth straight win. Colson Montgomery broke up Jones no-hit bid with a double with two outs in the 7th inning. Jones finished with seven shutout innings with the one hit allowed and struck out eight batters in a massive start. Oneil Cruz provided the offense with three hits, a solo home run for his 18th HR of the season and an RBI single in the 8th inning to add on an insurance run. This was the Pirates first sweep since they swept the Brewers to end the first half in mid-July.

Does a Winning Record Actually Matter for the Pirates?

North Shore Nine — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The Pirates are back at .500 after Wednesday’s win over the White Sox, sitting at 73-73 with five straight series wins. Alex Stumpf asks whether finishing with 81 or 82 wins actually means anything after a season that began with the stated goal of making the playoffs, and why a winning record could still matter as Pittsburgh looks toward a crucial 2027 season.

SHOWDOWN: Pirates Weigh Nick Gonzalez’s OFFENSE vs Defense – Who Gets Squeezed Out?

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Pittsburgh Pirates face a roster puzzle as Nick Gonzalez’s breakout bat collides with defensive concerns and increased competition from Ryan O’Hearn, Brandon Lau, and Jacob Gonzalez. Is Pittsburgh prepared to sacrifice offense for defense as the playoff hunt heats up, or will Gonzalez be squeezed out despite Silver Slugger–worthy production?

Gary Morgan spotlights historic September comebacks, analyzes the Pirates’ own playoff hopes, and fields tough AMA questions on Ben Charrington’s future, Don Kelly’s leadership, and Mitch Keller’s struggles. With key decisions looming and fan expectations high, every lineup move could decide the Pirates’ fate down the stretch.

Pirates Survive Late Chaos, Beat White Sox 4-2 to Get Back to .500

North Shore Nine — Thu, 10 Sep 2026 03:30:00 GMT

The Pirates are back to .500 after hanging on for a wild 4-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Jim and Neil break down an unconventional bullpen game that saw Pittsburgh use eight pitchers, Brandon Eisert dominate his former team, Esmerlyn Valdez launch his 17th home run and Konnor Griffin deliver another huge two-out hit. Then things got interesting late. Camilo Doval struggled, Luke Weaver nearly let Chicago all the way back in, Jared Triolo made a game-saving defensive play and Mason Montgomery slammed the door for his 11th save.

The Pirates have now won five straight series and seven of their last eight.
