About this listen

 The Crow’s Nest Nine – Unfiltered Pittsburgh Pirates Talk from High Above the Action From the Crow’s Nest, high above the buzz at PNC Park, The Crow’s Nest Nine delivers straight-from-the-stands Pittsburgh Pirates commentary with zero corporate filter and maximum fan passion. If you’re a die-hard Bucs supporter who bleeds black and gold, tired of the same safe takes, this is your new home for honest breakdowns, bold predictions, and real talk on everything happening with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2026 and beyond. Hosted by a local Pirates fan, each episode climbs into the Crow’s Nest for a bird’s-eye view on the team we love. We cut through the noise to discuss what actually matters: Paul Skenes dominating as the ace and potential back-to-back Cy Young winner, the deep young pitching rotation featuring Mitch Keller, Braxton Ashcraft, Bubba Chandler, and more, the promising core with top prospects like Konnor Griffin, and whether this squad can finally snap the long playoff drought. We’re riding the wave of real optimism heading into 2026. MLB insiders are calling for a potential “worst-to-first” run in the NL Central — the first division title since 1992. With a strengthened lineup after key offseason additions, a top-tier starting staff, and exciting prospects ready to contribute, the Bucs look poised for a breakout. But we don’t just cheer — we analyze the tough questions: Can the offense finally click? Will the bullpen hold up? How do the young arms develop behind Skenes? And most importantly, can Pittsburgh make the postseason for the first time since 2015? What to Expect Every Week: • In-depth episode recaps and previews tied to the current season • Bold predictions and “hot takes” straight from the Nest • Prospect watch, roster moves, and trade deadline strategy • Listener questions, fan debates, and mailbag segments • Quick-hit Shorts and bonus clips on breaking news, Opening Day reactions, series breakdowns, and more Whether it’s Opening Day hype with Skenes on the mound, mid-season slump busting, or October dreams, The Crow’s Nest Nine keeps it real, relatable, and rooted in the passion that makes Pirates fans some of the best in baseball. No fluff, no agenda — just one fan talking to fellow fans about the team we all root for through thick and thin. Hoist the Jolly Roger and join the Nest!
