About this episode

The episode discusses the Pirates' comeback attempt against the Yankees and the subsequent bullpen failure that led to an 8-5 loss.

The Pirates erased an early four run deficit behind another strong offensive effort, but the bullpen couldn't hold it together in an 8-5 loss to the Yankees. Tyler and Cody discuss Braxton Ashcraft, encouraging signs from the offense, Dennis Santana's struggles, and why this one feels like another missed opportunity
