## Resource

Pittsburgh Pirates’ Henry Davis offers rare insight into the struggle of translating practice improvements to game-day performance. Can “trusting the work” break the cycle for the former 1-1 pick? Gary Morgan explores Davis’s candid postgame reflections after his two-home-run night, dissecting the intricate balance between muscle memory, major-league development, and the demands of catching at the highest level. Plus, what does Davis’s breakthrough mean for the Pirates’ long-term plans behind the plate? Gary Morgan answers burning AMA questions on Konnor Griffin’s usage at shortstop versus center field, evaluates Joey Bart’s recent offensive surge, and debates organizational depth at catcher as Endy Rodriguez heats up. The conversation extends to Pittsburgh’s attendance woes at PNC Park despite improved play, and what it will take to reignite fan engagement. Can the Pirates capitalize on their momentum and solidify their place in an increasingly competitive NL Central?
