Paul Skenes Day in Wrigley didn't disappoint. The Pirates battled through rain, extra innings, and some weird vibes to grind out a 2-1 win over the Cubs. Ryan and Neil break it all down—from Skenes going five scoreless to the tense final innings that had everyone bracing for the victory. We talk about the energy Skenes brings every time he takes the mound, the offense doing just enough, and how this win felt like it meant a little more. Plus: what it was like seeing Jim Rosati in the crowd and why Wrigley always seems to have its own script.

Hit play and join the conversation on another chaotic but victorious Pirates postgame show.

Andrew McCutchen turns back the clock with another clutch homer as the Pirates take down the Marlins — but is anyone going to help Mitch Keller win a game? We break down the latest bullpen shuffle with Carmen Mlodzinski returning and Kyle Nicolas optioned, while questioning why the "starter-only" plan for Mlodzinski already feels like a lie. Plus, Don Kelly’s presence is being felt, we preview some college bats to watch in the College World Series that the Pirates could draft, and look ahead to the upcoming series against the Cubs.
