Episode Notes

The Pirates avoided a sweep in Colorado with an 8-6 win over the Rockies, but even a seven-run lead was not enough to make it comfortable. Tyler and Doug break down the offensive breakout led by Bryan Reynolds, Nick Gonzales, Jake Mangum, and Spencer Horwitz, plus the injury scare for Jared Jones after he was hit by a comebacker. They also discuss the much-needed work from Yohan Ramirez and Evan Sisk, the late bullpen struggles from Dennis Santana and Gregory Soto, and why this team still finds a way to make every game more stressful than it needs to be.
