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.

The Pirates had a lead… and then Colin Holderman happened.

Fresh off the IL, Holderman came in and promptly blew the game wide open as the Dodgers handed Pittsburgh an ugly 8-4 loss. On this NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros., Tyler and DiNardo break down another Derek Shelton disaster class, questionable bullpen management, and what this means going forward.

We also discuss Mitch Keller’s solid start that went to waste, Oneil Cruz continuing to show signs of life at the plate, and the growing frustration around this team’s inability to finish games.

The NS9 Postgame Show Powered By Primanti Bros.

Ryan and Doug break down Paul Skenes out dueling Yamamoto in a 3-0 Pirates victory over the Dodgers. We dive into the decision to bring Skenes out for the 7th inning, Shelton calling on Bednar to close the door in the 9th and the bats scratching out three runs.

The Pirates drop a winnable one to the Angels, losing 4-3—but Matt Gorski’s MLB debut gave fans a moment to remember. Jim and Ryan break down Gorski’s homer in his first at-bat, Oneil Cruz continuing his breakout campaign, and yet another game where the Pirates failed to manage around Carmen Mlodzinski’s second-time-through struggles.

We dive into bullpen decisions, missed opportunities, and what it means heading into the Dodgers series. Should Mlodzinski still be starting? Did Shelton manage this one like he wanted to win it?

Plus, Kyle Nicolas impresses, Frazier frustrates, and the NS9 crew gets heated. Don’t miss this one.
