The Pirates Told Us to Hold Them Accountable. So Here We Are.
Keep the session moving with another watch from the same channel.
The Pittsburgh Pirates had a chance to turn Monday night into one of the best feel-good wins of the season. Instead, it became another frustrating loss that slipped away late.
Alex Stumpf breaks down the Pirates’ 4-2 loss to the Cardinals, where Mason Montgomery, Justin Lawrence, and Wilber Dotel helped carry a near-perfect bullpen game into the seventh inning. Dotel, in particular, looked outstanding and was in line for a memorable night before the ninth inning unraveled.
Dennis Santana has been one of the Pirates’ most reliable arms, but this was not his night. Alex discusses what went wrong with Santana’s slider, why this loss stings beyond just one game, and how these missed opportunities are starting to stack up in a tight NL Central race.
Plus, Alex looks at the bigger picture: why this Pirates roster feels real, where the concerns still are, and why games like this matter even in April.
