Pirates Let Another Winnable Game Slip Away

The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped the series finale against the San Francisco Giants in a frustrating game that felt very much within reach. Bubba Chandler gave the Pirates a chance, the offense created traffic, and the team had multiple opportunities to take control — but missed chances, defensive mistakes, and more bullpen concerns proved costly. On this NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Brothers, Anthony and Doug break down where the game went wrong, the Pirates going just 2-for-15 with runners in scoring position, Ryan O’Hearn’s rough defensive moments, Don Kelly’s bullpen decisions, and the growing concern around Dennis Santana. They also discuss Gregory Soto’s role, Montgomery trust levels, and why this bullpen may need help sooner rather than later. The Pirates are still playing solid baseball overall, but losses like this are the ones that sting — especially when the issues are starting to look familiar.
