## Resource

On this episode of OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down how the Pirates went from 16-11 and right in the thick of the NL Central race to 16-16 and last place in the division. Paul Skenes struggled against the Cardinals again, the defense cost the pitching staff more outs, the offense missed chances with runners in scoring position, and the bullpen issues continued to show up at the worst possible time.
