The latest NS9 Postgame Show dives into a frustrating 4-3 Pirates loss to the Angels—one that should’ve been a sweep. Jim and Ryan break it all down, starting with the undeniable highlight: Matt Gorski’s MLB debut and his monster home run in his very first at-bat. But the good vibes faded fast as Carmen Mlodzinski once again fell apart the second time through the order, a pattern the Pirates somehow still haven’t figured out. The guys vent about Derek Shelton’s mismanagement, missed chances on offense, and some flat-out bad fundamentals.
They also shine a light on Oneil Cruz, who’s locked in at the plate and continues to build what could be a breakout season. Kyle Nicolas looked nasty out of the ‘pen, but it wasn’t enough to steal the win.
