Jim and Doug rant about this team's lifeless lineup, poor coaching, and O'Neil Cruz's struggles in center field while questioning how much longer Ben Cherington can keep rolling out the same product before changes are made.

Show Notes
The Pirates drop to 1-5 after a brutal 7–0 loss to the Rays in Thomas Harrington’s MLB debut — and we’re breaking it all down on tonight’s NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros.
Jim and Doug dive into a flat, lifeless offensive performance from Pittsburgh, Shane Baz’s dominance, and the laundry list of issues plaguing the Bucs lineup — from base-running blunders to coaching concerns. We also take a deeper look at Harrington’s debut: what went wrong, signs of promise, and whether he should get another shot.
Plus: Oneil Cruz’s continued struggles in center and how this roster construction has left the Pirates stuck in neutral to start the year.
