The Pirates just got flat-out embarrassed by the Reds — swept in Cincinnati and looked lifeless doing it. We break down all three games, from Elly De La Cruz’s grand slam to Hunter Greene retiring 17 straight. Is this just a cold stretch or something worse?

Jim also gives his firsthand scouting report on Bubba Chandler after seeing him pitch Tuesday, and we dive into Henry Davis’s return to the roster over the weekend. Plus: a full preview of the upcoming four-game set against the Nationals and why this series might be a must-win.
