Episode Details

The Pittsburgh Pirates had a chance to keep momentum going, but another bullpen collapse turned a winnable game into a frustrating loss. DiNardo and Neil break down why the issue goes beyond Don Kelly’s decision-making and points directly to the construction of the bullpen, especially the lack of reliable right-handed relief options.

They also discuss Bubba Chandler’s continued command issues, the strain his short starts put on the bullpen, Brandon Lowe’s impact, Konnor Griffin’s opposite-field home run, the lineup questions around Nick Gonzales and Marcell Ozuna, and why the Pirates need to find answers fast if they want to stay in the race.
