| Episode 391 - LIVE from Brave Bean Coffee Company | 26 juil. 2026 | 00:30:20 | |
We went live from Brave Bean Coffee Company to break down a frustrating stretch of baseball as the Pirates' offense has gone ice cold during what we believe is the most important homestand of the season. While the starting rotation continues to give this team a chance to win every night, the bullpen has once again struggled to hold leads, exposing a glaring weakness as the postseason race heats up. We discuss why standing pat at the trade deadline isn't an option if the Pirates are serious about contending, the moves that still need to be made, and what has to change offensively to get this lineup rolling again before it's too late. Plus, we wrap up the show by promoting the upcoming Wolf Game and everything fans need to know before the biggest game of the year.
