Matt Clement

There's going to be days like this.

He's such a talented pitcher.

There's going to be a lot of swing and misses, deep counts, so walks are going to happen with him.

But the change-up he threw to Suarez to punch him out in a big situation, the play he made in the field, it's really exciting for the Pirates if that's your fifth starter.

You know, I just got into this business, and I actually was a little nervous from a Jinsky pitch because I was touting him a little bit during the preseason.

You were.

And to see – you know, I'll start with him.

You know, what an impressive outing by him to go through the first three hitters, you know, Lindor, Soto, and Bichette, strike them out both times the first two times through the order.

And I think that was the difference in him was, like, he's throwing the high fastball with the split finger underneath the zone.

So he's commanding the top and the bottom of the zone with his other electric stuff, like the curveball, the slider, everything else that's electric.

And I think, like...

For me with Majenski, I think the point we're getting to here is the whole time the broadcast is going on, we talk about it in here.

It's the second time through the order.

It's the third time through the order.

He can't get past the fifth inning.

I'd like to see the Pirates, and they couldn't the other day.

They made good decisions when they took him out.

Let's rip the Band-Aid here.

Let's send them out.

I had an incident when I was with the Cubs where I was that guy.
