The Pirates are back at .500 after Wednesday’s win over the White Sox, sitting at 73-73 with five straight series wins. Alex Stumpf asks whether finishing with 81 or 82 wins actually means anything after a season that began with the stated goal of making the playoffs, and why a winning record could still matter as Pittsburgh looks toward a crucial 2027 season.
