Episode Notes

The Pirates opened the night with back-to-back homers from Bryan Reynolds and Ryan O’Hearn, and Paul Skenes gave them a real chance against a loaded Dodgers lineup. Then the bullpen completely unraveled. Jim and Doug break down the disastrous seventh inning, the ongoing bullpen problem, the lineup’s struggles against left-handed pitching, Marcell Ozuna’s lack of production, and why the Pirates cannot keep wasting Skenes starts if they want to stay in the playoff race.
