There's been an expectation that some defense was going to be forfeited to the additional offense.

And yeah, this is kind of what that looks like.

Good morning to you.

Good.

Tuesday morning.

I'm Dan Kovachvich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

This is Daily Shot of Pirates, presented by our friends at the North Shore Tavern.

It comes your way right and early every weekday.

If you're into football and or hockey, I also offer daily shots of Steelers and Penguins,

the same place that you found this.

Padres 5, Pirates

Zero last night at PNC Park. Call it the anti-home opener. About everything that you wouldn't

have wanted to happen at the home opener happened in this one. Bubba Chandler started, he wasn't great.

Four and a third innings.

Four K's in just as many walks, three runs, five hits.

Never much to say offensively about being shut out, Marcelo Zunas.

Outrageous woes continue.

He's now two for 31 after an O'4.

The lineup as a whole managed one extra base hit, double by Ryan O'Hern.

But that doesn't begin to describe what actually happened, most of which involved your

Pittsburgh guys in the field. They weren't charged with any

actual errors, but there were mistakes all over the place, at least half a dozen. Not exaggerating.
