The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped another frustrating game, and it followed a script that has become way too familiar: Paul Skenes gave them a chance, the offense did just enough to keep the game alive, and the bullpen let it get away. On this NS9 Postgame Show, Neil and DiNardo break down another rough night for the Pirates relief corps, the continued struggles from the right-handed bullpen options, Brandon Bidois' outing, Johan Ramirez entering another close game, and why Don Kelly may not have many trustworthy choices right now. They also discuss Paul Skenes' strong start, the defensive mistakes behind him, the Pirates' issues when trailing late, Carmen Mlodzinski moving to the bullpen with Jared Jones returning, and the roster questions around Tyler Callihan, Esmerlyn Valdez, Konnor Griffin, Ryan O'Hearn, and Nick Gonzales. The Pirates are still hanging around, but this bullpen problem is no longer a small concern. It is becoming the main thing standing between this team and winning games it should be winning.
