Summary
The Pirates finally showed some life in the eighth inning, turning a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead behind big hits from Jared Triolo, Bryan Reynolds, and Nick Gonzales. Unfortunately, the lead didn't last. Tyler and Neil break down another frustrating Pirates loss as the bullpen let a winnable game slip away in Colorado. They discuss Bubba Chandler's strong six-inning outing, Don Kelly's decision-making, Mason Montgomery's rough eighth inning, Jake Mangum's costly baserunning mistake, and a ninth inning where the Pirates loaded the bases with nobody out and still couldn't score. They also dive into the continued bullpen issues, the offense's struggles against Kyle Freeland, and whether this team is simply finding new ways to lose close games.
