## Resource

The Pittsburgh Pirates are hovering just above .500, but their bullpen’s collapse is dragging them down—ranking 23rd in ERA and slipping to 25th since late May, including a brutal 10-run inning against the Dodgers. Former Pirates stars Michael McKenry and Steven Brault weighed in, with Brault urging relievers to “shorten up”—stop overthinking and stick to their most effective pitches. If they heed this advice, maybe they can finally turn things around before it’s too late. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
