Episode Notes
The Pirates finally scored… and still got blown out 9–3 by the Royals. DiNardo and Neil recap a brutal night where the pitching collapsed, the Royals launched four home runs, and Andrew Heaney took another step backward. They discuss Tommy Pham's hot streak, the end of the Pirates’ short-lived momentum, and why this loss felt especially deflating after a brief glimpse of hope. Did the Pirates ever really stand a chance?
