After a brutal 3-hour, 20-minute rain delay, the Pirates delivered an equally brutal 8-2 loss to the Astros—and the NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. was there to break it all down. Ryan and Neil dive into Mitch Keller’s frustrating outing, where one rough inning erased any chance at building off an early 1-0 lead. The offense? Virtually non-existent again, racking up 16 strikeouts and relying solely on Oneil Cruz for both runs. The bullpen didn’t help either, with Ryan Borucki and Kyle Nicolas combining for more head-scratching moments. From Greg Brown’s eternal optimism to the reality of IKF quietly hitting .300 in obscurity, nothing was off limits in this late-night therapy session.
Catch the full episode to hear our thoughts on Keller’s unlucky record, the offensive identity crisis, bullpen struggles, and if there’s any hope heading into the weekend.
