The North Shore Nine Postgame Show, powered by Primanti Bros., recapped another frustrating Pirates loss as the Cubs clinched a playoff spot at PNC Park with an 8–4 win. Cody and Doug didn’t hold back, ripping the Pirates’ lifeless play and a front office that refuses to invest in offense despite a budding core of arms like Paul Skenes, Bubba Chandler, and Johan Oviedo.
The guys detailed a chaotic first inning where Oviedo threw 26 pitches, surrendered back-to-back homers, and was charged with a balk after a phantom timeout call. Though he eventually settled in, sloppy defense and three costly errors doomed the Bucs. Rookie Rafael Flores provided a lone bright spot with a double and steady presence at the plate, but the lineup once again lacked punch and fundamentals.
Cody and Doug closed by questioning ownership’s commitment to winning, calling for sweeping changes in the offseason.
