RUNS EXPECTED: Pittsburgh Pirates’ Bats POISED to Exploit Astros, Chandler Squares Off with Burrows

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:30:35 GMT

Pittsburgh Pirates brace for a defining road trip as Bubba Chandler faces Mike Burrows and the struggling Houston Astros, with Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers looming next. Can the Pirates capitalize on Houston’s shaky bullpen and sustain momentum after sweeping the Twins? Gary Morgan spotlights Jordan Alvarez trade rumors, the urgent need for bullpen help, and Pittsburgh’s top-five MLB offense, challenging the narrative that this is the same old Pirates team.

Morgan also reflects on the enduring heartbreak and hope of being a lifelong Pirates fan, contrasting past letdowns with optimism for this season’s elite starting rotation and emerging stars. The episode closes with a breakdown of potential targets in the 2026 MLB Draft, featuring names like Vahn Lackey, and Jackson Flora. Will these moves secure the Pirates’ long-term window—and could this be the year they silence the doubters?

Konnor Griffin’s Injury Suddenly Changes the Pirates’ Lineup

North Shore Nine — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Konnor Griffin was arguably the Pirates’ most valuable position player in May, tying for the team lead with 30 hits, batting .306, and finishing just behind Brandon Lowe in fWAR. Now, he starts June on the injured list.

Alex Stumpf breaks down Griffin’s rapid rise, the adjustments that fueled his strong May, why this injury matters more than some of the Pirates’ other setbacks, and how thin the internal options look without him on the left side of the infield.
