      <title>One Last Weekend of Pirates Baseball: Matt Underwood Talks Playoffs</title>
      <description>On this edition of Bucco Triple Play, former Pirates third base coach Rich Donnelly, avid fan Don Sloan, and College World Series Champion Bill Phillips preview the final weekend of Pirates baseball and take a look at what this year’s MLB postseason could bring. The guys break down both the American League and National League playoff pictures, including the division races and the team’s leading the way into October.

The crew is joined by Cleveland Guardians play-by-play announcer Matt Underwood after the Guardians clinched a postseason berth for the third straight year with a win over the Red Sox. Matt shares the excitement inside the clubhouse following the clinch, reflects on the Guardians’ success this season, and explains how they have positioned themselves for another run. He also gives his take on Cleveland’s chances of reaching the World Series.

In this edition of Rich’s Treasure Chest, Rich shares some true stories about a forgotten—but highly successful—Texas Rangers team. Despite posting one of the best records in franchise history, that club faced plenty of challenges along the way. You’ll have to tune in to hear these unforgettable “tall tales.”

And, as always, we want to hear What Yinz Are Sayin’! Make sure to like, subscribe, and leave a comment with your thoughts on the Pirates’ 2026 season and this year’s playoff picture. Your opinion could be featured on an upcoming episode!

Rich Donnelly, passionate fan Don Sloan, and College World Series champion Bill Phillips as they break down another series victory, this time against the Los Angeles Angels, and look ahead to a pivotal road trip to Chicago.

The last time Sean joined the show was before the home opener, when there was plenty of excitement surrounding what this Pirates team could accomplish. Now, he looks back at how the season has unfolded, identifies what he believes is the team's biggest weakness, and shares his thoughts on where the Buccos go from here.

In Rich’s Treasure Chest, Rich digs in and shares a story

      <title>Playoff Push Slipping Away — Buccos Visit San Diego </title>
      <description>On this edition of the Bucco Triple Play, join former
Pirates third base coach Rich Donnelly, avid fan Don Sloan, and College World Series champion Bill Phillips as they break down the Pirates’ series loss to the Dodgers in Los Angeles and look ahead to the upcoming series against the San Diego Padres.

The guys also continue the conversation surrounding the Pirates’ fading playoff hopes, as the race for the National League Wild Card tightens and other contenders continue to win.

They’re joined by Jeff Kurkjian, son of acclaimed sportswriter and television analyst Tim Kurkjian, who offers an outside perspective on the Buccos. Jeff also shares his thoughts on the Wild Card race and whether any potential playoff teams have what it takes to win it all.

In this edition of Rich’s Treasure Chest, Rich recalls
former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writer Paul Meyer, a passionate Big Red
football fan. While covering a baseball game from the press box, Paul kept Rich informed about the score of a Big Red football game using hand signals. It was an unforgettable matchup, with the two teams combining for nearly 90 points!

      <title>Pirates need Momentum - Does it start in Miami?</title>
      <description>Can the Bucs finally get rolling and put together a winning streak?


On this edition of the Bucco Triple Play, former Pirates coach Rich Donnelly and die-hard Bucs fan Don Sloan are back to break down another frustrating home series against the New York Mets—and talk about what needs to change for the Pirates to finally build some momentum.

The guys discuss the Bucs’ continued struggles, why getting hot right before the All-Star break isn’t always as good as it sounds, and what it’s going to take for this team to turn things around. For Rich and Don, the first step is simple: win two games in a row! You can’t build a streak until you win the first two, so can the Pirates finally make it happen?

Then it’s time to open Rich’s Treasure Chest, and this one takes an unexpected turn! Rich shares stories about some of the crazy odd jobs he worked while making his way through the minor leagues—including one that landed him at a Circus! Yes, you read that right. Rich Donnelly, minor-league baseball…and the Circus. You’ve got to hear this story!

And, as always, we want to hear What Yinz Are Sayin’!
What’s your take on the Pirates right now?
Can they finally put together a winning streak?
What needs to change to get the Bucs rolling?

      <title>Pat Murphy Joins the Show as the Brewers Visit Pittsburgh</title>
      <description>On this edition of the Bucco Triple play podcast, Don Sloan
and former pirates coach Rich Donnelly wrap up the history-making series
against the Atlanta Braves and look ahead to this weekend's matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers.

The guys also caught up with Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy to
discuss his club's impressive season. Murphy shares his thoughts on the
competitive NL central race, what makes the division so tough this year, and his impressions of the Pirates after facing them earlier this season.

In this edition of Rich's Treasure Chest, Rich takes us back
to his days as a rookie coach and tells the hilarious story of two hall of
famers who ordered catfish dinners to the bullpen in the middle of a game. That's right... Catfish dinners.
