Bad Baseball Costs the Pirates in St. Louis

The Pirates looked every bit like a team ready for the season to end Friday night, committing three errors and managing just one run in a 4-1 loss to the Cardinals.

Tyler and Doug break down another miserable performance against a left-handed starter, the Pirates’ atrocious defense, Jared Triolo inexplicably hitting leadoff, Esmerlyn Valdez’s recent swing-and-miss issues and a better, but still uneven, start from Jared Jones. They also get into the bigger problem surrounding this team: the same issues have been showing up all season, and nothing ever seems to change.
