The Pirates drop to 1-5 after a brutal 7–0 loss to the Rays in Thomas Harrington's MLB debut — and we're breaking it all down on tonight's NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. Jim and Doug dive into a flat, lifeless offensive performance from Pittsburgh, Shane Baz's dominance, and the laundry list of issues plaguing the Bucs lineup — from base-running blunders to coaching concerns. We also take a deeper look at Harrington's debut: what went wrong, signs of promise, and whether he should get another shot. Plus: Oneil Cruz's continued struggles in center and how this roster construction has left the Pirates stuck in neutral to start the year.

Thomas Harrington makes his major league debut and it went about as bad as you could draw it up. The good thing is (sarcasm), Shane Baz was awesome, too. 7-0 loss. Let's talk Harrington and the decision to send David Bednar to AAA.https://linktr.ee/bridgetobuctoberhttp://steelcitypirates.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bridge-to-buctober/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): The mini-series continues as Gordo, Sammy, and Pat take a look at the team in the AL East who maybe has been flying under the radar in the Tampa Bay Rays. Is everyone sleeping on the Rays and how much of a factor will not playing at Tropicana Field will be? Also, Tampa has always leaned on their pitching and they will be getting their ace Shane McClanahan back along with young studs like Shane Baz in their starting rotation. And, Junior Caminero provides a thump in the Rays' lineup, but is that big enough to intimidate the Red Sox and others?
