🚨 New LIVE Episode of Bucco Bantr! 🚨

The Pirates wrapped up their series with Houston, and Scott and Jim are breaking down everything that stood out from the matchup — the positives, the concerns, and what it means moving forward as Pittsburgh continues its push through the tough June schedule.

We also look ahead to a challenging road trip against the first place Atlanta Braves, examining the key matchups, pitching battles, and what the Pirates need to do to come away with a successful weekend in Atlanta.

Plus, we tackle several hot-button topics surrounding the club:

⚾ Is Nick Gonzales' defense a concern?
⚾ How should fans evaluate the work of pitching coach Bill Murphy and hitting coach Matt Hague so far in 2026?
⚾ If the Pirates add to the bullpen, what type of arm should Ben Cherington be targeting?
⚾ And much more from around the organization.

Join us live as we break down the latest Pirates storylines, answer listener questions, and discuss where this team stands heading into a pivotal series against the Braves.
