The vibes are strong in Pittsburgh after the Pirates completed a weekend sweep of the Rockies, and Bucco Brew is here to break it all down. From Bubba Chandler’s electric MLB debut to Jared Triolo’s scorching August at shortstop, this episode dives into the big storylines shaping the second half of the season. Chandler showed off elite stuff in four scoreless innings, giving fans a glimpse of why he could be a huge part of the pitching core moving forward. Meanwhile, Triolo is turning heads with his bat and glove, raising real questions about whether he can lock down a spot in the 2026 infield.

We’re also joined by Anthony Murphy to get the latest on the Pirates’ prospect scene — who’s trending up, who’s struggling, and how Konnor Griffin is adjusting to Double-A. Finally, we preview the Cardinals series and what the Pirates need to do to keep momentum rolling.
