Episode Notes

The Pirates got shut out 5-0 by the Padres at PNC Park, but Tyler and Neil kept this one in perspective. They broke down Bubba Chandler’s uneven outing, the continued concerns around Marcell Ozuna’s slow start, and why there’s still plenty to like about Konnor Griffin even with the early struggles at the plate. It was a frustrating night, but with the Pirates sitting at 6-4, this felt more like a clunker than a reason to panic.
