Episode Notes
The Pirates dropped their fourth straight game with a 5-4 loss to the Cardinals, putting a rough finish on what had been a promising month of April. Alex Stumpf breaks down the key late-game at-bats, why Marcelo Ozuna’s struggles are becoming harder to dismiss, and how his lack of production in the middle of the order is impacting an offense that has become too top-heavy.
With Paul Skenes set to take the mound next, the Pirates still have a chance to stop the skid and finish April on a better note. But after one of the roughest offensive months by a Pirates hitter in recent memory, the question is fair: how much longer can the Pirates wait for Ozuna to figure it out?
