The Pirates put on an absolute clinic this weekend, capping off a stunning sweep of the Mets with a 12–1 blowout win. Ryan and Doug broke it all down on the latest NS9 Postgame Show, from Oneil Cruz’s two-homer bounce-back performance to Henry Davis’ quiet 4-for-4 day behind the plate. Mike Burrows delivered another encouraging outing, while the offense exploded for 30 runs over the series—something not seen from a Pirates team in nearly 50 years. They even gave away Primanti Bros. sandwiches to celebrate. Don Kelly’s aggressive bullpen management and in-game decisions continue to contrast sharply with his predecessor, and the energy shift is obvious. Plus, the guys paid tribute to Pirates legend Dave Parker, whose Hall of Fame induction next month looms large.
