The Pirates are running out of time.
Pittsburgh was shut out 2-0 by the Miami Marlins in a brutal offensive performance where the Pirates never even advanced a runner beyond first base. Paul Skenes allowed just one earned run over five innings, but his diminished velocity, lack of whiffs and hard contact raised even more questions about what is going on with the Pirates ace.
Tyler and Jim break down another damaging loss, the growing concern around Skenes, Yohan Ramirez's incredible stretch and an offense that once again showed absolutely no life.
