The Pirates’ fourth straight loss came down to missed chances, late-game execution, and a lineup that still needs more from Marcell Ozuna. Alex Stumpf breaks down the 5-4 loss to the Cardinals, Nick Gonzales coming just short of a walk-off, what Ozuna’s brutal April means for the offense, and why Paul Skenes gives Pittsburgh a chance to stop the skid. Watch or listen to the latest OffBeat now on North Shore Nine.

    Good breakdown on OforZuna. Sadly if we have Henry in the same lineup we have two of the very worst OPS. OForZuna at 466, Henry at 467

    Once again Cherington has failed with his analytics. Does Cutch come through last night in the 7th or 9th? I like his odds better. Cherington is at the root of all of this. Late game decisions? I’m a DK fan but why didn’t KG bunt when the infield was way deep ? We have to play smarter baseball.
