The Pirates were shut out again in Arizona, and the NS9 Postgame Show — powered by Primanti Bros — had no shortage of frustration to unpack. Neil and Doug break down another lifeless offensive performance, headlined by a heart-of-the-order meltdown in a bases-loaded, no-out situation that perfectly summed up the 2025 season. They discuss the team’s league-worst offensive metrics, the continued struggles of Ke’Bryan Hayes and Joey Bart, and why it’s time to see what Henry Davis and Nick Yorke can do.
Despite the loss, there was one bright spot: Braxton Ashcraft delivered three shutout innings in his MLB debut, saving a taxed bullpen and flashing legit stuff. Doug also shares highlights from the NS9 tailgate, including fan shoutouts and the joy of connecting with the community.
