Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 2397805, member: 2500"] As a Pirates fan, he could be maddening. He always had electric stuff coaches and catchers raved about. He rarely got hit hard. But he had control issues early on and a propensity to give up a series of bleeders and then walk someone, then hit a guy, then a crooked number. Lots of Pirates fans felt he didn't have the confidence to be really good. That he was weak mentally. Always was a standup guy. His post game interviews were surreal at times, the way he'd analyze his performance. But a few of us still believed he'd get it together. And I'm delighted for him, as are a lot of his former Pirate teammates and fans. [/QUOTE]
