Episode Notes

The Pirates are back in the win column after a 2-0 shutout of the Nationals, and this one was all about the pitching. DiNardo and Jim break down Carmen Mlodzinski’s dominant outing after following Mason Montgomery in an opener role that worked exactly as planned. They dive into why the strategy made sense, how Mlodzinski attacked the Nationals lineup, and why he continues to make the fifth starter conversation a lot more interesting.
