First time all season we have legitimate hitting threats in the 1-6 spots.  Lowest average .257, Vaughn at .318 and Robert .291.

Johnny "Fucking" Cueto

3rd time through the order now. I think 6 innings for Cueto is more than enough today. 

Gotta log off.....bring home a victory the rest of the day everybody.

Cueto has been just a phenomenal pick-up

Playoff series starts today, I'm going:

1 Kopech

2 Cueto

3 Cease

Just shows how you can pitch quite effectively with varying arm angles, command and deception while featuring only a 90-93 mph fastball against one of the best, most patient lineups in the game.

Well this is quite the surprise

That confident walk to first on strike 3 from Jose.  Gotta love it.

I think we need to watch where Lance Lynn is 2-3 months from now.

The guy has led the entire AL in pitching fWAR going back 2-3 seasons.  That doesn’t happen by accident.

another backhand smash to the far court . amazing how many guys going the other way today.

Nice job, Jake.

Harrison swinging 3-1???

7/11 Sox hits to the opposite field now…that’s without TA7 and Madrigal, lol.

Interesting decision with Cueto at 85 pitches and cruising.

lets get this into position player pitching territory again 

Jose gets that call Josh.  Not you.

Not sure what relievers other than Graveman and Kelly don’t scare viewers at home.

Gotta get over 500 before we consider talking playoffs anytime soon

This is the first Sox lead in Houston after the 5th inning since Lucas Giolito's complete game shut out in May 2019.

Everything is coming up Cueto

Cueto sporting a 2.95 ERA in 42.2 IP this season. That’ll work.

I'm guessing he's done, but what a game out of Cueto
