North Shore Nine

The latest episode of Bucco Brew Powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea dives into a brutal weekend for the Pirates, who got completely outclassed in Cincinnati and swept by the Reds. DiNardo and Jim break down all three lifeless losses, pointing fingers at a putrid offense, questionable fundamentals, and the lack of big-league-caliber talent in the lineup. Despite some decent pitching, the bats are in such a funk that anything less than perfection on the mound spells disaster.

The guys also highlight a strong week from Bubba Chandler in AAA, comparing his trajectory to Paul Skenes and speculating whether a mid-May call-up might be on the table—especially if Ben Cherington starts feeling the heat. Then it’s a full preview of the upcoming four-game set against the Nationals, a team with bad pitching and just enough offensive firepower to make you nervous.

The Pirates need to respond—and fast.
