About this episode
The episode discusses the Pirates' recent games against the Nationals and previews their upcoming series against the Rays.
The Pirates return home and come away with a split in a four-game set against the Nationals—but it didn’t come without some frustrations. In this live episode, we break down what went wrong in the two losses, including ongoing bullpen concerns, costly defensive miscues, and where things need to tighten up moving forward. We also shift our focus to a compelling weekend matchup against the Rays. With intriguing pitching matchups on deck, we dive into what to watch for, where the Pirates may have an edge, and the key factors that could determine the outcome of the series. What needs to improve? Who needs to step up? And can the Pirates take advantage of a tough Rays squad? We cover it all live.
