The 2025 Pittsburgh Pirates Were Doomed From the Start
Description
Bucco Brew Powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea. The North Shore Nine crew dives into the Post-Gazette’s hard-hitting story on the Pirates’ frustrating 2025 season—spotlighting Paul Skenes’ pointed comments, Bob Nutting’s ownership decisions, and the growing calls for Ben Cherington’s job. We break down the best quotes and what they mean for the front office, the clubhouse, and the future of the franchise.
To lighten things up, we also take on Alex Stumpf’s year-end Sporcle challenge, trying to name all 57 Pirates who suited up this season—with plenty of laughs and a few surprises along the way.
