North Shore Nine

The Pirates dropped another lifeless one on Tuesday night, falling 7–1 to the Reds, and the North Shore Nine postgame crew had plenty to unload. Neil and Doug broke down what’s become a brutal rinse-and-repeat cycle: an anemic offense wasting another quality start—this time from Mitch Keller, who gave up just one earned run over six innings. It marked the 24th straight game the Pirates failed to score 5+ runs, a staggering stat that puts them in historic territory.

The guys didn’t hold back on the failures of Ben Cherington’s roster construction, from Tommy Pham to Adam Frazier, and questioned how the team is still trotting out hitters like Solak and Triolo while promising bats sit in Triple-A. The bullpen faltered again, especially Colin Holderman, and the show turned into a full-on therapy session for a fanbase stuck in baseball purgatory.
