The Pirates stink right now: A guide for who to blame for what

As the Pirates’ offense continues to sink to new lows, they’re dead last in runs, batting average, slugging percentage, OPS (they trail the second worst team over that stretch by a staggering 32 points) and wRC+ as a unit across all of MLB from April 9 onwards after starting 9-2, much discourse has been had about who, exactly, is to blame.

Pirates end the night by making 15 consecutive outs, including 6 straight via strikeout. Unreal.

They've scored 52 runs in their past 20 games (2.6 avg). They're also 5-15 during that stretch. When does it end?
