Somehow, the Pittsburgh Pirates escaped their House of Horrors w/ a series split against the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, a series that saw a blowout loss and two impressive wins as well as a David Bednar blown save, so it had just about everything.

Host Ethan Smith is joined by Gary Morgan to discuss the series, which also included another phenomenal start from Johan Oviedo on Sunday, some more positive improvement from the Young Bucs and things to keep looking forward to down the stretch of the season.

Finally, Pittsburgh has a tall task of seven games this week, starting with four against the Atlanta Braves and three against NL Central rival Cincinnati. How can the tough opponents teach the young players, how will they perform and more!
