Yep... reversion to the mean. Which is pretty low, and pretty mean. Pirates drop 7th straight and the ship doesn't just sink, it cracks in half.

After returning from a trip to the Grand Cayman Islands, Chris is disappointed with the Pirates' 7 straight losses and their just over five hundred stats. He analyzes the game against Toronto, Reynolds' batting and the upcoming games against Colorado and Baltimore. The Pirates need to make a turnaround to stop the losses and get back on track.

The Pirates drop their 5th straight to Toronto at home, 4-0.

Chris, your technical director, brings an update on the Buccos, whose record stands at 20-13 and 9-5 at home while they are in the middle of a 5-game skid. They lost to the Blue Jays 4-0 with only 4 hits, one of which was a double by Reynolds. The aggressiveness of Bae is still there, having stolen 14 bases. Other players have not been too successful and have lacked patience, leading to their current slump in hitting. The expected starters for tomorrow's game are Barrios and Oviedo, and Chris encourages fans to tune in to the Sports Porch Podcast for more updates and join the live show every Monday night.
