The Pirates drop 2 of 3 in L.A., but there are signs of life: Oneil Cruz is still on fire, Andrew McCutchen looks as steady as ever, and the Bubba Chandler watch may be officially underway.

We break down the weird Colin Holderman moment from Saturday, David Bednar’s return to the mound, and what Cruz’s recent stretch could mean for his long-term outlook. Is Cutch still one of the team’s best hitters? And is it time to seriously consider calling up Bubba?

Plus: We preview the upcoming home series against the Cubs.
