Matt Clement

Not throwing 100 miles an hour, I might add.

But I was that guy where I was like the prospect coming up in the rotation.

And my issue was control.

And so the worst thing you can do is try not to, you know, lock people because that's when it kind of spirals in.

Then you're giving up hits.

Then your velocity is not there and everything else.

I think what hurt Chandler last year probably to an extent was there was this expectation of coming up early.

And he got off to a pretty good start in the minors.

And then when he came up, he wasn't throwing as well in the minors where he was kind of his top form.

Now, he settled down, had some good outings at the end, the walkway ran down, like you said.

Now he's kind of trying to find his way to get to that peak level.

And I think, you know, he's a key.

If we're talking in September and the Pirates are in this pennant race, he's going to be one of the people that have performed really well.

It's pretty awesome.

All of a sudden, the Pirates went from unknown and two dudes, and hopefully, let's add Chandler to that mix, right?

The 100-mile-an-hour starting pitcher.

You have three dudes that just make them very popular.

Definitely popular with baseball card collectors, I'll tell you that.
