The Pittsburgh Pirates were just swept by the White Sox, and it's pushed the fanbase to the edge. In this episode of Bucco Brew, we dive deep into Ben Cherington’s tenure as GM, and ask the question: why is he still making decisions for 2026?

We also recap another brutal series loss and preview what's ahead against the Tigers. It’s time to hold this front office accountable.

The Pirates hit a new low.

After a brutal 10–4 loss to the White Sox, Tyler and DiNardo break down everything that went wrong in another embarrassing night at PNC Park. From another quiet night for the offense to shaky defense and questionable bullpen usage, we dissect it all.

Is this team broken? Can Don Kelly do anything to right the ship? We debate the franchise’s direction, the looming trade deadline, and how much longer Pirates fans should be expected to put up with this.
