North Shore Nine

In this jam-packed Opening Day Eve edition of NS9LIVE!, DiNardo, Jim, and Tyler dive headfirst into the 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates season with their annual Over/Under predictions. The big topic early was Jared Jones’ UCL sprain and what it means for the rotation, including Carmen Mlodzinski getting the nod over Thomas Harrington. Paul Skenes headlines the staff, with support from Mitch Keller, Bailey Falter, and Andrew Heaney.

The crew debated season projections for Oneil Cruz (can he go 30/30?), Jack Suwinski (back on the Jack Wagon), Endy Rodriguez’s arm behind the plate, and whether Andrew McCutchen still has pop. Other names like Tommy Pham, Nick Gonzalez, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and David Bednar sparked some heated stat debates.

Finally, the guys gave their win predictions. Tune in on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts!
