Episode Notes

The Pirates are back in the win column, and Alex Stumpf breaks down a game that had no shortage of storylines. The offense showed up with home runs from Oneil Cruz, Ryan O’Hearn, and Bryan Reynolds, but the bigger focus is Bubba Chandler’s outing. Alex dives into the flashes of dominance, the command issues, the reliance on the fastball, and what Chandler still needs to show as a young starter. He also touches on Joey Bart’s role in helping settle things down and why Yohan Ramirez might be a name to keep an eye on.
