NS9 Postgame Show: Pirates Swept Again: 4–0 Loss to Padres Caps Brutal Homestand

NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros. The Pittsburgh Pirates were swept by the Padres and now sit at 12–23, prompting serious concerns about the direction of the team. In this episode of the North Shore Nine Postgame Show, Jim and Ryan react to another miserable loss that featured sloppy defense, baserunning blunders, and a lifeless offense that couldn't get anything going—even against a Triple-A pitcher making his first MLB start. They discuss Andrew Heaney’s rough outing, what worked out of the bullpen, and why the same mistakes keep happening with no accountability from the coaching staff. The guys dive into Derek Shelton's and Ben Cherington’s role in this mess, and whether it's time for real change. They also touch on fan apathy, lack of urgency, and the broken culture that’s growing more obvious by the day. If you're still watching this team, you're not alone.
