NS9 Postgame Show: Reynolds Homers, But Pirates Offense Sleepwalks Again in 5-2 Loss

North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brother's. The Pirates dropped another lifeless one in Philly as Zack Wheeler diced up the lineup for 7 shutout innings. Bryan Reynolds broke up the shutout with a 9th-inning homer, but it was far too little, far too late. Oneil Cruz and Andrew McCutchen combined to go 0-for-7 with 6 strikeouts, and Carmen Mlodzinski once again failed to pitch deep into a game. The offense has now scored fewer than five runs in 22 straight games, and fans are running out of ways to describe just how bad it’s gotten. Tyler and Ryan break it all down—Cruz’s concerning at-bats, Horwitz’s return (and quick hook), the endless carousel at first base, and why it’s time to shut down the Mlodzinski starting experiment for good. Is there any real help on the way, or are we just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic?
