Pirates Face Some Tough Calls After Wild Weekend in Chicago

The Pirates return home at .500 after a 4-2 road trip, but this weekend in Chicago left plenty to talk about. On Monday’s Bucco Brew, we get into Don Kelly’s bullpen decisions, what the Skenes/Soto collapse says about late-game management, and whether Pittsburgh already has the core of its 2027 rotation.

We’ll also look at the offense with Ryan O’Hearn back, Esmerlyn Valdez hitting the IL, Konnor Griffin in the lineup, and ask how many pieces of next year’s team are already here.
