Pirates Lose Weird Series In Texas, But Is It Time To Worry?

from North Shore Nine: A Pittsburgh Pirates Podcast · host North Shore Nine

The Pirates dropped the series finale to the Texas Rangers, losing 6-1 on a rough night against Jacob deGrom. Bubba Chandler battled traffic early before Texas broke the game open, while Oneil Cruz provided the lone Pirates run with his eighth home run of the season. Jim and Neil break down Chandler’s command issues, why this start should not create panic, Konnor Griffin’s early MLB adjustment period, the missed bases-loaded chance in the sixth, and why the Pirates still sit in a good spot despite losing two of three in Texas. They also look ahead to the Milwaukee series with Paul Skenes set to take the mound.
