The 2019 Pittsburgh Pirates season is now two series old. After splitting a rain shortened two-game series in Cincinnati against the Reds over the weekend, the team returned home for their first home series of the 2019 season.
While this one was planned, the Bucs once again found themselves playing a two-game series. This series came against those no good, evil, rotten, cheating St. Louis Cardinals. Against the Red Birds the Pirates had the opportunity to go 2-0. Hell, a strong argument can be made that they *should* have gone 2-0. Instead, they wound up 0-2.
