Episode Notes

We get into the Pirates’ brutal offensive struggles (just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position), the lack of power throughout the lineup, and how this continues to define their season. But it wasn’t all bad—Mike Burrows looked sharp, Braxton Ashcraft showed why he’s one of the most exciting young arms in the system, and Isaac Mattson turned in a Houdini act against his former team. Kyle Nicolas also extended his scoreless streak, showing flashes of being a real bullpen weapon.
