The Pittsburgh Pirates are rolling after a weekend sweep of the Rockies, and we’ve got plenty to break down on this week’s Bucco Brew!
We start with the latest news and notes as the Pirates claim Ryan Kreidler and Jared Triolo continues to heat up in August. Triolo has been red-hot as the everyday shortstop, flashing his glove and showing real offensive growth — could he be cementing himself as a core piece for 2026 and beyond?
Then, we dive into Bubba Chandler’s electric debut on Friday night. The stuff was nasty, the energy was there, and Pirates fans got a glimpse of what could be a huge arm for the future. What’s next for Bubba the rest of 2025 — starter depth, bullpen weapon, or more?
We’re also joined by Anthony Murphy to talk all things Pirates prospects, including Chandler’s trajectory and who else is rising (or struggling) in the system.
Finally, we wrap with a Cardinals series preview, breaking down pitching matchups, key bats to watch, and what the Pirates need to do to keep momentum rolling in the NL Central.
