Johnny Cueto hit a little bump in the road.



He allowed five runs on three hits in two-thirds of inning. He simply could not command any of his pitches. He walked five, including pitcher Matt Garza on four pitches.



He gave up a double to Akinori Iwamura to start the game. He walked Carl Crawford on five pitches. Carlos Pena hit one out to left-center. Cueto then got a pair of groundouts. But he walked the nerxt two hitters. Joel Guzman followed with a two-run double. Cueto then walked Garza. When Iwamura walked, Dusty Baker came out and got Cueto.



41 pitches/18 strikes.



maybe some time in AAA will do him some good.

He could have waited until his first start of the season.



You might kicked the dogs a few times if that happened.

But Liriano looks good. So far. Justifying that "mistake."

Could have been his spring training "Dead arm start".

Im actually a little disappointed. I wanted to continue to see the Johnny Cueto for president bandwagon to roll across country

Totally agree Shawn. Mark, keep it up. Liriano can feel you and is really stepping forward

Sorry if u guys can't accept someone making a mistake and then taking responsibility for it. I know, it's a hard concept for most to understand.

See, this is what I enjoy. Is $200 too much to bid on Mike Hampton?

Thank you. He's shutting down a good offense today. Time to get that bid in. Thanks again.
