Joey Wagner

I am SHOCKED at the amount of baseball fans that do not understand the basics of a salary cap system. For EVERYONE... 1. There is a floor. 2. There is a cap. 3. There is revenue sharing. 4. All teams MUST spend between the cap and floor. That is all.

@NorthShoreNine @rounder829 Congrats! You have done great work for 10 years, and I am excited to see the amazing things you will do in the next 10 years!

On June 5, 2016, DiNardo and Ryan hit record on GarageBand and recorded the debut episode of the NS9 podcast. It was all down hill after that. Ten years later we’re still here churning out content, shows, tailgates, etc and sharing our love for baseball and a team with Pirates fans everywhere. THANK YOU to everyone who’s followed us, listened to us, vented or cheered with us on a postgame show, read our articles and showed up to the tailgates. We appreciate every one of you! Here’s to another fun 10 years of NS9!

@rounder829 You know it's a shocker when you get the stand up and removing earbud in the same call LOL!

What a call by Joey!

@Mikey5Aces That is my point. He can be in the game tonight starting with the 6th inning.

@TheTruthSwagner Will he though? I don't think so and I hate that. Mlodzinski needs to be in the game tonight.

Pirates are up 4-2 with 1 out in the bottom of the 5th and Paul Skenes is nearing 100 pitches. Don Kelly has Yohan Ramirez warming up. What am I missing here? Wouldn't this be a great time for Mlodzinski to come in soon instead of f'n Yohan Ramirez? What is Don Kelly doing?

So far for me, THE CALL OF THE YEAR! Henry #Davis grand slam!!! (I did not call the Reynolds walk-off; I wish I did!) @Pirates @PlatinumKey13 #LetsGoBucs #Pirates

For baseball fans who still don't understand a salary cap system, this is the reason it is needed.

In a salary cap, every team must spend to the floor level. It is a requirement, a MUST. There is no way around it. So, yes, Nutting would spend more, because that's what happens in a salary cap league. @Dejan_Kovacevic

@LetsGoBucsHD56 Of course, I wasn't calling yesterday's game and this happens lol. But a win is a win!

The way the Bucs can score runs, and the way the middle relief gives em up…we’re gonna have a 12-11 game at some point.

@rounder829 @GMBCSuperfan You are not going to cash out?? Still a $257 profit!

@GMBCSuperfan Brother I hope so…

I think last night was the dam-breaking moment for this team. Get ready for a 100-game ascension, Pirates fans. #PlayoffBound

@KG_55VFTG I'll being calling it on YouTube and X tomorrow night!

Hope you have tickets for tomorrow night. #Pirates game is on Apple TV.

@LetsGoBucsHD56 As long as they win, that's fine with me. And a game I call!

x.com/i/broadcasts/1… Can Bubba escape the 1st?!?! #LetsGoBucs #Pirates #Cubs #MLB

@AustinRBechtold Also, his next scheduled start is Sunday...only on 4 days rest rather than 5.

There is no reason for Braxton Ashcraft to stay in the game. Pirates are dominating. Ashcraft is going to be on an innings limit. Why give him another in an eight-run game???

@GMBCSuperfan Again, he got the job done. But this will be so much better when Jared Jones returns and Mlodzinski is in the hybrid bullpen role.

I mean, it’s not pretty, but Mlodzinski gets it done. I don’t hate it. (Carmen, don’t make me regret posting this)

#LetsGoBucs #Pirates and #Cubs on this Memorial Day!! Join us for the fun! @NorthShoreNine @Pirates @@LetsGoBucsHD56 @JimStamm22 @rounder829 twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Who wants it? 👀 RP for your chance to win this signed Chris Boswell jersey!

@TeamYouTube There is an issue with views disappearing on YouTube live streams right now. I would appreciate if you can look into the issue.

@PlatinumKey13 @rounder829 Shocked that Bryan Reynolds was not used to pinch-hit for Jake Mangum?

@MStratiff @PlatinumKey13 Yes.

@TheTruthSwagner @PlatinumKey13 And keep Bubba as the 5?

Carmen Mlodzinski tonight: 5.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 SO 95 pitches, 61 strikes, 4 whiffs Love it.
