The Pittsburgh Pirates got a fantastic start from Paul Skenes, but their bullpen imploded again, and they have now lost four in a row.

There was plenty of roster shuffling going on throughout the system. I go over the notable movements and what to expect from some of the players on the move.

Finally, I am in Greensboro! After missing Seth Hernandez while I was in Bradenton, I caught up and got a chance to watch him pitch on Tuesday.

The Pittsburgh Pirates lost another game and are now in a position to get swept by the Braves. Brandon Lowe getting injured in the ninth inning is the biggest headline, but the rotation is also struggling during the road trip.

Digging through the minors, I talk about Keiner Delgado, some high-upside arms in the FCL, and Wilton Guerrero Jr.'s continued success in the DSL.

Bubba Chandler picked up his first win of the season, throwing six innings against the Tampa Bay Rays. I go over what stood out about his start, namely a potentially revamped arsenal that includes a sweeper.

We then look at the minors, where Altoona won their first game of the season. Who has stood out so far among a rough start for most of the hitters?

Plus, Seth Hernandez made his third pro start and completed five innings and Murf Gray continues to hit.

Seth Hernandez, the Pirates' first-round pick in the 2025 draft, leads a very interesting Bradenton Marauders pitching staff. There are plenty of high-upside arms, but many come with questions about the control.
