Episode Details

Alex Stumpf looks at another frustrating Pirates series loss, this time to the Marlins, and why Pittsburgh’s 6-9 record in Paul Skenes starts is becoming a real problem.

Skenes wasn’t perfect Sunday, but he gave the Pirates another quality start. The offense failed with runners in scoring position, the bullpen gave up key runs, and Pittsburgh once again failed to capitalize with its ace on the mound. Alex compares the Pirates’ inability to win Skenes starts with how Detroit has ridden Tarik Skubal starts into postseason contention.
