Show Notes
The Pirates drop a winnable one to the Angels, losing 4-3—but Matt Gorski’s MLB debut gave fans a moment to remember. Jim and Ryan break down Gorski’s homer in his first at-bat, Oneil Cruz continuing his breakout campaign, and yet another game where the Pirates failed to manage around Carmen Mlodzinski’s second-time-through struggles.
We dive into bullpen decisions, missed opportunities, and what it means heading into the Dodgers series. Should Mlodzinski still be starting? Did Shelton manage this one like he wanted to win it?
Plus, Kyle Nicolas impresses, Frazier frustrates, and the NS9 crew gets heated. Don’t miss this one.
