NS9 Postgame Show: Rays Blank Pirates 7-0 as Harrington Struggles in MLB Debut

The Pirates drop to 1-5 after a brutal 7–0 loss to the Rays in Thomas Harrington’s MLB debut — and we’re breaking it all down on tonight’s NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros. Jim and Doug dive into a flat, lifeless offensive performance from Pittsburgh, Shane Baz’s dominance, and the laundry list of issues plaguing the Bucs lineup — from base-running blunders to coaching concerns. We also take a deeper look at Harrington’s debut: what went wrong, signs of promise, and whether he should get another shot. Plus: Oneil Cruz’s continued struggles in center and how this roster construction has left the Pirates stuck in neutral to start the year. 💬 Sound off in the comments — what’s the most frustrating part of this start for you? 🎥 Subscribe for more postgame shows, game-day breakdowns, and live Pirates talk! 🛎️ Hit the bell so you don’t miss a show. 🥪 And yes — we’ll give away Primanti Bros sandwiches when the Pirates finally win again.
