On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith breaks down the call-up of 2020 No. 7 overall pick Nick Gonzales, who just so happened to be Ethan's first player interview when he joined Locked On three years ago. Gonzales has done well at AAA Indianapolis, but can it translate to the big league level? Also, the Pirates lost their tenth straight game on Thursday, this time to the Miami Marlins and in a very similar fashion as the bullpen surrendered another late lead. Can the bullpen mismanagement be fixed or are injuries becoming too much for the group? Finally, its Mailbag Friday, so Ethan answers your questions and concerns about the Pittsburgh Pirates!
