How did that happen, three runs with no hits?

I don't know how that happened.

And they were earned runs, too, so he made it out a lot better than I did.

But I remember back, like, one of the weirder times when you end that game, because I heard you guys talking and even some of the people post-game saying, like, what's he feel like when he goes into the locker room after that, and you just aren't sure.

But, you know, wow, is his stuff electric.

And, uh, you know, it, it, it just really is.

And he seemed to be having, I don't know if I didn't listen post game to his comments, but, and he probably wouldn't use it as an excuse.

He seemed to be having some trouble with the mound.

It seemed like later in that game.

And, um, but the stuff's so electric and they weren't hitting a fastball.

That it was like, how do you go away from the fastball?

But there were some pitches he threw in there.

It's just the, honestly, like the sky's the limit for this dude.

He is, it's easy.

It's electric.

There's going to be days like this.

You know, he's, he's such a talented pitcher.

There's going to be a lot of swing and misses, deep counts of 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.
