Cueto

I really like Cueto.

He has obviously struggled a little bit but I sure love his arm and like him as a prospect. Fun to root for (though not today).

I thought he might occasionally have touched 96 mph with us.

Corpas is consistently 94 mph, about two ticks higher than he normally sits.

Why not play for the tie everywhere?

It’s called lulling your opponents into complacency via your aspiration to mediocrity. Brilliant strategy. I think Hurdle should write a thesis on it.

It has its merits

No question. As soon as I can figure out exactly what those are, I’ll send them to Hurdle.
