Pirates Bullpen Implodes Again In Embarrassing Loss To Dodgers
About this episode
The episode discusses the Pirates' recent loss to the Dodgers, focusing on bullpen struggles and player performances.
The Pirates opened the night with back-to-back homers from Bryan Reynolds and Ryan O’Hearn, and Paul Skenes gave them a real chance against a loaded Dodgers lineup. Then the bullpen completely unraveled. Jim and Doug break down the disastrous seventh inning, the ongoing bullpen problem, the lineup’s struggles against left-handed pitching, Marcell Ozuna’s lack of production, and why the Pirates cannot keep wasting Skenes starts if they want to stay in the playoff race.
