Ep 553: How Does Pittsburgh Bounce Back From Series Loss to A's? NL Central Overview & Endy/Davis Duo in AAA
The Pittsburgh Pirates lost a series to the MLB worst Oakland A's to start the week, snapping their six-game winning streak. Host Ethan Smith & Craig Toth aren't quick to hit the panic button though with arguably the biggest stretch of the season upcoming after the Mets series.
Also, with the call-up of Elly de la Cruz by the Cincinnati Reds, do we start to see a domino effect of the NL Central teams making moves in a division that is up for grabs.
Finally, top prospects Endy Rodriguez and Henry Davis are playing together in AAA, meaning a call-up could be on the horizon. Do the Pirates pull the trigger sooner rather than later?
