5 Things That Still Matter for the Pirates in September
About this episode
The Pirates’ playoff odds may be nearly gone, but September is far from meaningless.
Alex Stumpf breaks down five things that still matter over the final month of the season, including what Camilo Doval can prove before an offseason decision, Konnor Griffin’s return, Braxton Ashcraft’s workload, whether Paul Skenes can finish looking like himself again, and the biggest question of all: what exactly can the Pirates count on from this offense heading into 2027?
