Welcome back to Locked On Pirates everyone!

It's Monday, which means Ethan Smith & Gary Morgan are breaking down everything Pittsburgh Pirates for you all, starting with a strong week from the Buccos that saw them go 4-2 versus LA and Minnesota. Are the Pirates making progress? How does that progress look? 

Also, Paul Skenes debut a month ago for the Pirates, so what has the team changed since he's arrived? What's been good? What's been bad? What will continue w/ Skenes and the team?

Finally, Pittsburgh, like many other NL teams, is right in the thick of the contention race. How do the Pirates maintain pace or gain ground on the wild NL? Moves sooner rather than later? Can they be in it by September?

All of that and more on today's episode of Locked On Pirates.
