Bridge to Buctober: A Pittsburgh Pirates Podcast

Shift the Outfield or the Mindset | 482

bridgetobuctober@outlook.com (Bridge to Buctober) — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0000

On this episode, we touch on Brandon Lowe and Jared Triolo being named Gold Glove finalists before diving into a Pittsburgh debate sparked by Pirates fans gathering at the Forbes Field wall to relive Bill Mazeroski’s legendary 1960 World Series home run. Why does Maz’s walk‑off still matter, and why do some people insist on calling it embarrassing? We also break down MLB’s experimental outfield‑shift rules being tested in the Arizona Fall League. Could these changes reshape offense, BABIP, and launch‑angle hitting across baseball?

bridgetobuctober@outlook.com (Bridge to Buctober) — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Tonight we dive into more Pittsburgh Pirates’ offseason debates, starting with whether the Bucs should consider trading Bryan Reynolds or Mitch Keller to create the flexibility needed to bring back Brandon Lowe. We also break down how the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians reaching the LCS impacts the CBA and salary‑cap conversation. Does this diffuse the need for reform?

Konnor Griffin is the talk of the baseball town. Let's talk about what we've seen, so far. Also, we will re-address the idea of an extension for the kid. Along with an update on pitching, we talk about position player depth. Many teams are only as good as their starting lineup. That's been the case for years here. Let's talk about what we're seeing from guys who aren't in the suggested lineup.

It's been a week for us! Labor Day Weekend has come and gone. Despite the odd ending - the Pirates actually won a series in Chicago. A 4-game weekend against the Nat's (who put the apostrophe in the wrong place) could help? We'll see.

Oneil Cruz has officially been moved to CF. Is this the right timing? Is this the solution? Also, in the midst of all it, the Pirates are swept in embarrassing fashion against the Cubs. When all eyes were on Cruz, the pitching staff displays their worst performance of the 2024 season. Let's dig in.

Let's hash this whole thing out. We're going to talk a lot about opinions this week, but one thing is a fact: these players aren't giving up and they are playing to win in that dugout.

Mitch Keller sure looks better this season, but as far as results, we're getting a mixed bag, still. We're still waiting for consistency and several good results in a row. Also, SP's can't buy a win; set an MLB record. And Saturday night will certainly go down as the best game in April 22. Unfortunately, in the midst of a 1-5 week.

045 | It's Not Hammer Time

bridgetobuctober@outlook.com (Bridge to Buctober) — Mon, 20 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Joel Hanrahan left the Pirates. That's all we got for news. So, this week, we decided to play a game called "How Could You Be So Wrong?" We picked guys throughout the years that we had all wrong. Whether we thought they were overrated or we overlooked them, we brought up some names that you are familiar with and maybe some that you forgot. But basically, there are always going to be players that you got all wrong. Whether it's Jose Bautista that just blossomed after his time with the Pirates, or an injury plagued road that derailed his potential... one way or another your idea of 5 years from now is not always going to be reality. It's fun to project and share our opinions and thoughts, but it doesn't make anyone less than a fan if they get it wrong. We give some examples of that.

Let us know who you got wrong throughout the years. You can connect with us via the links below

bridgetobuctober@outlook.com (Bridge to Buctober) — Mon, 6 Dec 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Jacob Stallings traded to Miami, Bucs Sign Roberto Perez, and a bunch of other moves as well. All getting in before the CBA expired.

Now the league has locked out the players and MLB is officially on LOCKOUT mode.

We break down what we think of those moves and ask a lot of questions. Now is probably a good time to ask more questions than we have answers for. What direction are the Pirates going? Will 2022 be another bad season? Are they trying to do anything to make it better? Does it affect the rebuild at all?

Rough week for Pirates pitching, but Frazier and Reynolds are still bright spots in a dark room. And Adam Frazier's superstitions are worth hearing and talking about.

We also talk about the "unwritten rules" of baseball, respect vs disrespect, and about old school vs new school arguments.

In this episode, we got interrupted twice by Josh's daughter, and it was too good to leave out this time.

There was a big chunk cut out of this recording that will be released later. This all just got too long this time. Too much fun.
