The Pirates let another winnable game get away, falling 4-3 to the Chicago Cubs after carrying a 3-2 lead into the eighth inning.
Tyler and Doug break down Gregory Soto's disastrous eighth, Don Kelly's decision to leave him in as the inning unraveled, and the continued lack of urgency that has defined too much of this season. They also discuss a much better outing from Paul Skenes, Ryan O'Hearn providing all three Pirates runs with one swing, and why Mason Montgomery never entering the game was so frustrating.
We're also raising money for the Roberto Clemente Museum and matching every dollar donated up to $1,050, with a goal of raising $2,100.
