The Pirates’ catcher search just got a major upgrade with Easton Carmichael, a third-round pick from Oklahoma who’s flashing elite potential. After a wrist injury delayed his pro debut, he exploded in High-A with a .305 average and 16 homers, earning a jump to Double-A Altoona — where he’s still showing flashes of power despite a slight dip in stats. Scouts rave about his athleticism, arm strength, and raw power potential, even if his receiving and glove work need polish. With a spot in the Arizona Fall League on the horizon, Carmichael is poised to become the franchise’s next cornerstone behind the plate — ranked eighth in the system, he’s the answer they’ve been waiting for.

A pivotal moment in the Pirates’ loss to the Brewers came when a bases-loaded opportunity vanished in a blink: Rafael Flores Jr.’s grounder deflected, third base coach Tony Beasley flashed a stop sign for Nick Gonzales — but O’Hearn kept running and got thrown out in a rundown. Beasley later admitted he lost sight of the ball and took full blame, while Gonzales stayed focused on accountability, not blame. The Pirates didn’t score until the eighth, falling 5-1 after that missed chance, a stark reminder of how one split-second call can derail an entire game.

The Pirates fell hard at home, losing 5-1 to the Brewers in a game marred by costly mistakes and bullpen woes. A late-inning rally fizzled after a key runner was thrown out trying to advance, crushing momentum. Despite Brandon Lowe tying a franchise record with his 30th homer and Rafael Flores Jr. extending his hitting streak to nine games while also gunning down two base stealers, it wasn’t enough. The Brewers’ Jacob Misiorowski dazzled with five innings and seven strikeouts, solidifying his Cy Young case. The Pirates look to right the ship tomorrow night against the same team.
