The Pirates’ slide hits rock bottom as they get crushed 8-2 by the Marlins, sparking manager Don Kelly’s rare public meltdown. Once playoff contenders, they’ve lost seven straight series and are now well below .500 — plagued by shaky defense, a struggling offense (especially vs. lefties), and inconsistent pitching. Even their improving bullpen can’t carry them without runs. Kelly, usually a defender of his players, now blames systemic mistakes across the board — from base running to fielding — and demands everyone dig deep before it’s too late. The season’s on the line, and the team must rediscover that fight or face oblivion.
