Rookie pitchers-

High highs, low lows. Consistency doesen't come easy.

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

Liriano wasn't a mistake...He was using reverse psychology. Or maybe he looking for someone to justify the pick for him.

Please, Liriano is pitching against a AAA lineup.

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

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?
