North Shore Nine

The latest episode of NS9LIVE! was packed with Pirates talk, offseason storylines, and a few laughs along the way. DiNardo, Tyler, and Jim kicked things off reflecting on their World Series livestream and teasing the launch of Hoist the Colours, a new live watch-along and postgame concept coming in 2026.

From there, the crew dove into the week’s biggest news: Derek Shelton landing the Minnesota Twins’ managerial job and why his fit there feels eerily similar to his time in Pittsburgh. They then shifted focus to the Pirates’ new pitching coach Bill Murphy, formerly of the Astros, calling the hire a “slam dunk” move that could help unlock another level for arms like Bubba Chandler and Braxton Ashcraft.

They also reacted to John Baker’s exit, broke down the latest Young Bucs Award winners, and discussed who might get added to the 40-man roster before Rule 5 decisions.
