volquez

I was upset when the reds traded hamilton, but volquez has not given
up more than one run in four starts. he looks to be the real deal.
everyone wants to talk about cueto, but I have yet to see the reds
play this season, who has the better stuff ?

Honestly, I don't know. They both look great most of the time.

If you made me chose, I would take Cueto, but they're both very, very
effective. I think Cueto is a little less reliant on a single pitch than
volquez is. They're fun, that's for sure.

Also, Cueto has shown much better control. Volquez was wild in Texas,
and has 13 walks this year. On the other hand, he keeps the ball in
the yard - no homers allowed yet, while Cueto has given up five.
Anyway, I'm thrilled the Reds have both

I guess you didnt see Cueto get blasted by the Cardinals last night,or
Adam Dumb throw the ball backwards?

No, I did not see Cueto pitch last night when I wrote that post on the
22nd. Time travel only happens in movies, Rick.

But what the heck does Cueto have to do with the original rant?
