Pirates Shut Out As Phillies Expose Every Problem

The Pittsburgh Pirates were shut out 6-0 by the Philadelphia Phillies, completing a frustrating sweep in a weekend where just about everything went wrong. Paul Skenes had a rare off day, the offense had no answer for Zack Wheeler, and the Pirates’ outfield situation became even harder to ignore.

Tyler and Doug break down why this series felt so ugly, what went wrong for Skenes, how the Pirates were outscored 20-1 after the seventh inning on Friday, and why the lineup depth is now a major concern with Ryan O’Hearn expected to miss time. They also discuss Konnor Griffin’s continued signs of growth, Brandon Lowe’s near-home run, the bullpen, Dennis Santana, Yohan Ramirez, and why Jared Triolo in right field cannot be a long-term answer.

Are the Pirates just in a bad three-game stretch, or did the Phillies expose the bigger issues this team still has to fix?
