Harrison is fine as a utility player, not as a full time starter.

Unfortunately we've found the this team doesn't have utility players. 

Those designated utility play everyday because :

a) someone is always hurt from the projected 9 starters 

b) the manager is an old dumb fuck.

LOL ? 

Great play by Big Energy again

Cueto is a prime example of why movement and location of pitches is way more important than speed. 

Nice job Johnny Cueto.

Jhonny Ace Queto. 

JC at only 65 pitches through 5. Why can't the rest of the starters be that efficient. 

No way Hill should of been able to last 5 with only 6 runs given up.

Lucas was very efficient last night, yet folks wanted LaRussa to pull him before 100 pitches. 

Our starters need to go long in order to avoid hiding this leaky ass bullpen.  I have no problem if they start asking to get 105-110 from them.   It's the only way they have a chance.

Our offense just doesn't have that killer punch in them.    They'll snooze the rest of the way.

Cueto doesn't have the stuff to strike a bunch of people out and has good movement on all his pitches so he can pitch to contact and not get hit hard. Cease and Kopech pretty much have to strike out over a guy per inning or they'll get hit hard and that's going to take more pitches.

Damn have yourself a game Johnny Cueto.

This offense is something.  Tigers should have been thinking about position players pitching with Cueto rolling but nope offense shuts it down to save energy for playoffs

Would be par for the course to blow it. 

Starters have given up 1 run or less  in first 6 innings of each game. 

 

 

I hate rooting for this team. Once or twice a week they crush people but otherwise it’s frustration and disappointment. 

Is Cueto the team MVP?

Cueto has been unreal 

 

Way to go White Sox now keep heading in the right direction. Johnny Cueto with an outstanding performance today, no doubt about it.

Cueto somehow one of the best free agent signings of the Hahn era

Still waiting for age to set in on Scherzer, Verlander.

Today it's throw the ball as hard as you can for 5 innings.  Hopefully you have guys in the pen that can throw as hard as you can.

BTW there is a college pitcher than can throw 105.

I heard there's plenty of young injured pitchers available for the draft.

 

Credit where credit is due, Cueto has been Rick Hahn's best free agent signing as White Sox GM.

The son of Roger Clemens can't pitch faster than 50 mph?

That was the usual dumpster diving than worked. 

Meanwhile this 8 runs probably means being shutout tomorrow.  Sheets and Vaughn will be on the bench and Tony trying to insert Leury into the lineup twice. 

Damn, Cueto! I say if he's feeling it, let him go for the CG SO.
