The Pirates finally broke their scoreless streak, but it didn’t matter much in a 9–3 beatdown by the Royals—and that’s the story of this episode of the NS9 Postgame Show. DiNardo and Neil break down a clunker from Andrew Heaney, who lasted just three innings and gave up four runs, and a rare bullpen implosion where everyone not named David Bednar got tagged. Offensively? Outside of Tommy Pham—who somehow continues to rake since getting contacts—there was nothing. Just seven total base runners, mostly in garbage time.
The guys talk regression, trade deadline implications, and how depressing it is that this team wastes elite pitching nearly every single night. They also dig into Alexander Canario’s place on the roster, Bryan Reynolds’ shocking drop-off, and why watching this team right now feels like a punishment.
