Pirates Offense Struggles Without Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin

The Pirates scored just 26 runs while going 2-4 against the Dodgers and Marlins. Jim and DiNardo discuss how much the offense is missing Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin and whether this lineup has enough depth to survive without them. Joey Bart appears close to returning, which creates another decision behind the plate. Will Henry Davis continue catching, or has Endy Rodriguez earned a bigger opportunity with a 126 wRC+ this season? They also break down the Pirates’ handling of Carmen Mlodzinski. Using him almost exclusively as a scheduled reliever following Jared Jones limits someone who could become a legitimate high-leverage weapon for this bullpen. @eddiep_photos TICKETS FOR OUR JUNE 13TH TAILGATE: https://www.gofevo.com/event/Northshore9tailgate0613 Use Promo Code NS930 for 30% off your first order at https://www.defer.coffee Use Promo Code NORTHSHORENINE for $20 off your first order at https://www.seatgeek.com LIKE and SUBSCRIBE with NOTIFICATIONS ON if you enjoyed the show!
