Jim and DiNardo recap a rough series in Atlanta where the Pirates were swept by the Braves and once again had games get away from them late. They’ll look back at what went wrong, preview the upcoming Dodgers series, and go through the latest updates on Konnor Griffin, Brandon Lowe, and Oneil Cruz.
But the main conversation is the bullpen. The Pirates keep getting enough starting pitching to stay in games, but the back end continues to cost them. At some point, this can’t just be something they talk around. It needs addressed.
