Ken Rosenthal reported the Pirates are being aggressive in their search for bullpen help, and after another late collapse, it’s easy to see why. Alex Stumpf breaks down the current state of the bullpen, the lack of reliable internal answers, and why Pittsburgh may need to make a move sooner than later.

The Pittsburgh Pirates bounced back from one of their worst losses of the season with a much-needed win over the Houston Astros. Neil and Doug break down Jared Jones’ return, Carmen Mlodzinski’s strong bulk outing, Ryan O’Hearn continuing to produce, Oneil Cruz staying hot, and why this Pirates offense suddenly feels completely different. They also discuss the Pirates taking two of three in Houston, the state of the lineup, the upcoming Braves series, and another Primanti Bros “Raise It” giveaway.

Paul Skenes has been the most reliable arm the Pittsburgh Pirates have had, but this latest stretch has looked different. After allowing 15 runs, 13 earned, over his last four starts, Skenes once again failed to get through five innings against the Houston Astros despite throwing a career-high 109 pitches. Alex Stumpf breaks down why this does not feel like panic time, but why it is fair to say Skenes looks slightly off for the first real time in his MLB career. From the missing splinker to the changeup location, sweeper command, deeper counts, defensive issues behind him, and what it could mean with a Dodgers start potentially looming, this episode of OffBeat takes a closer look at what is actually happening with the Pirates ace.

The Pittsburgh Pirates had another huge night from the offense, including a grand slam from Henry Davis, three hits from Spencer Horwitz, and more production throughout the lineup. Somehow, it still was not enough. Neil and Doug break down the Pirates’ brutal 11-9 loss to the Houston Astros, where the bullpen surrendered eight runs over the final two innings and turned what looked like another comfortable win into one of the worst losses of the season. The guys discuss the bullpen usage, Gregory Soto, Mason Montgomery, Johan Ramirez, Nick Gonzalez’s defense, Paul Skenes’ uneven outing, and why this kind of loss says a lot more about the roster than just one bad night.

Alex Stumpf revisits the Pirates’ biggest offseason swing: the Brandon Lowe trade. After Lowe homered against Mike Burrows and the Astros, it feels like the perfect time to look back at why this move mattered so much for Pittsburgh. The Pirates needed left-handed power, real lineup impact, and a win-now message to the clubhouse. Lowe has delivered all of that, while also helping make Pittsburgh a more serious landing spot for Ryan O’Hearn. Alex breaks down how the trade came together, why the Pirates’ offseason may have looked very different without it, what Lowe’s power pace means historically, and why this move stands out as one of the rare aggressive Pirates trades aimed directly at winning right now.

The Pittsburgh Pirates stayed hot with another big offensive night, beating the Houston Astros and moving five games over .500. Neil and Doug break down the Pirates’ fourth straight win, Oneil Cruz’s huge three-run homer, Endy Rodriguez continuing to force his way into the lineup, Jake Mangum’s four-hit night, Brandon Lowe’s power, and an offense that keeps finding different ways to produce. They also discuss Bubba Chandler’s uneven start, the value of the bullpen giving the Pirates length when needed, and the growing concern around Dennis Santana after another rough outing.

Konnor Griffin was arguably the Pirates’ most valuable position player in May, tying for the team lead with 30 hits, batting .306, and finishing just behind Brandon Lowe in fWAR. Now, he starts June on the injured list. Alex Stumpf breaks down Griffin’s rapid rise, the adjustments that fueled his strong May, why this injury matters more than some of the Pirates’ other setbacks, and how thin the internal options look without him on the left side of the infield.

Carmen Mlodzinski’s role with the Pittsburgh Pirates suddenly feels a lot more complicated. After being moved back to the bullpen, Mlodzinski landed on the restricted list, creating a strange situation for the Pirates’ rotation, bullpen, and his future with the organization. Jim and DiNardo discuss why Carmen had every reason to be frustrated after losing his rotation spot, why the way things played out afterward is harder to defend, and what this means for a Pirates bullpen that still badly needs help. They also get into Konnor Griffin landing on the IL after his forearm injury did not heal quickly enough for him to throw during the road series, plus Ryan O’Hearn returning much earlier than expected and already making an impact with his bat. Can O’Hearn help soften the blow of losing Konnor Griffin? And where do the Pirates go from here with Mlodzinski? Listen to Bucco Brew for the full discussion.
