North Shore Nine

The Pirates continued their freefall, getting swept in Kansas City after a brutal 4-3 loss capped a six-game losing streak—immediately following a six-game winning streak. In this episode of the North Shore Nine Postgame Show, Jim and Tyler break down another frustrating defeat where the bats once again disappeared and the pitching, while fine, wasn’t enough. Braxton Ashcraft continued to impress out of the ‘pen, Tommy Pham kept hitting everything in sight, and Isaac Mattson finally looked human. The guys also question some pitch-calling decisions, look ahead to Paul Skenes Day in Minnesota, and wonder aloud just how cursed this team might be.

Can this team right the ship, or are we staring at a lost July? Tune in to hear the full breakdown, the rants, and a few moments of reluctant praise.
