With the season reaching a pivotal point, Jim and Scott look beyond the disappointment and focus on what lies ahead. How will the Pirates respond? What needs to change as the road trip continues? And with so much riding on these upcoming games, could this stretch ultimately decide the fate of the 2026 season?
