[@MarkCunningham-of7kj]

Nobody admits when they're wrong these days, thats why DK is the man! AND HE APOLOGIZED TO THE PLAYER FACE TO FACE! Pure professional

[@jerryyeager1307]

Just when he was needed Falter got it done. What a wonderful surprise and Cutch did it again ! Thanks DK, you did it again too.

[@RoninGaijin]

I agree, he had a good comeback. Falter has been great lately. I still want to see Paul Skenes tho.

[@glockensig]

Four runs?? Andy Paines starts sweating like it's mount Everest!!

[@kodyoliva8183]

Andy Paines is gold

[@petegdula4749]

I was so glad they left him in for more than 5 innings. When someone "has it" let them do it for as long as they can.

[@041Paulie]

glad the Pirates are doing better again, the rotation might be good, and DK admitting about premature comments on Falter - have a good one everyone and you too DK

[@bnzz58]

The starting pitching has been outstanding so far but the offense is still worrysome. Would the pirates consider going to a 6 man rotation when Skenes is called up. It would cut down the innings on Jones and Skenes. Jake Lamb and Nick Gonzalez tearing it up in AAA. How long will the Pirates go with Telez and Taylor who are both doing next to nothing at the plate.

[@RoninGaijin]

Yes, let's just be at least average at the plate!

[@mmjhcb]

Maybe, just maybe, the powers that be are reading the comments and changing their tactics to the right ones.

[@alexcorrea4828]

Honestly I tjonk.all the criticism before the season gave him something to prove

[@robertsholtis200]

Can you please erase all the comments I said about Falter the last few months???

[@kennyp4JC3]

Falter has been hitting 93 which is like 96 to hitters due to his +11 inch release point over league average.

[@STVG71]

I've been pleasantly surprised with the starting pitching so far. Yeah, we've had a clunker or two but for the most part they have delivered. Now if only we can start scoring runs and the cubbies and reds lose games when we win lol

[@bnzz58]

Listening to your j1q question. Have you watched cutch before the last 3 games. He was striking out at a alarming high rate until the last 3 games. Hitting the ball hard at people as you suggest I must of missed that cause I didn;t see that.

[@carykickingback]

The more you hate on falter the more powerful he gets

[@steelersnh_1621]

Falter for Cy Young I can already see ir
