I’m a Pirates season ticket holder and he’s great!! Quite accessible to fans, at least at the moment. Last year the day he signed his contract, sth got in early before the game and he was practicing. Signed for all the fans that were there. A lot of other good things to say about him.

It’s frustrating. Trust me. We have a great starting rotation and Reynolds, Cruz, rowdy suddenly….but we can’t consistently score. It’s a shame. A GM who is inept and sitting on his hands.
@G.0.Ай бұрын
Yeah, we could use a couple more solid bats, but it has been pretty great watching not only Skenes but also Mitch Keller and the other lesser known high velo rookie Jared Jones. The Bucs have a ton of potential, but the front office does need to get off their asses and do something.

@@DavidKfilmmaker Rome wasn't built in a day! I'm confident they'll make a few moves to shore up the batting order.. to be frank, you don't need to score much when you have 3 guys that put up a lot of zeros in your rotation. Hoping it all works out but so much to like about the future for y'all.

But after this interview I will be a fan of his for every one of his starts except when he is facing the St Louis Cardinals.

If Nutting is ever going to step into modern baseball financially, this is the kid to do it for. Obviously barring any injury issues, I hate even brining that up, but it is so relevant with ppwer arms now a days. But Paul has insane potential, I mean the dude is one of(if not THE) best pitchers in baseball, and he is only 10-11 starts into his career. I couldn't be happier to have him here in Pittsburgh. And don't worry, I know Nutting won't spend the money unless he was buying another ski resort or something. Nutting legitimately trying to win? 😂😂😂 Unfortunately at the detriment of the entire Pirates fanbase.
