North Shore Nine

The Pirates just swept the best team in the American League—and somehow, it makes no sense. On this episode of the NS9 Postgame Show, Cody and Ryan try to make sense of the most unpredictable team in baseball. Bailey Falter shoved with 7 strong innings and 8 strikeouts, Spencer Horwitz launched his first career grand slam, and Andrew McCutchen homered in the first to set the tone. The defense flashed leather, the offense showed up early, and—believe it or not—the Pirates actually looked like a good baseball team.

But where does that leave us with the trade deadline looming? The guys break down what this sweep means for Mitch Keller, David Bednar, and the rest of the deadline decisions still on the table.

Oh, and yes—Cody ripped a pack of Topps Chrome live on air.
