## Resource

The Pittsburgh Pirates had a chance to keep momentum going, but another bullpen collapse turned a winnable game into a frustrating loss. DiNardo and Neil break down why the issue goes beyond Don Kelly’s decision-making and points directly to the construction of the bullpen, especially the lack of reliable right-handed relief options.
