Sorry Kc. I wasn't trying to imply you DID say that. Only stating my opinion on the matter, that's all.
Fail
This Hamilton? If so, nice.
Until now.
Sixteen of Cueto's last 19 regular season starts: 2 ER or less.

Updates on the significance of Johnny's start.

Cueto now has six straight starts of eight innings or more. No one has done that in the big leagues since Cliff Lee ran off a streak of 10 in a row in 2010 and no Reds pitcher has achieved that since Mario Soto in 1983.
Over his last 55 innings, Cueto has allowed only five runs to lower his Major League-leading ERA to 1.25 over a league-most 72 innings pitched.
To find the last Major League pitcher to start a season with at least seven innings pitched and two runs or fewer allowed over his first nine starts, one has to look back to the dead-ball era. Harry Krause of the 1909 Philadelphia Athletics did it in 10 straight starts, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
No Reds pitcher has worked at least seven innings in their first nine starts since Bucky Walters began 1944 with 20 in a row.

If you think those numbers are pretty....how about these.
.382/.421/.647/1.068
Phillips for May. :O) Both of 'em....gettin' it done!
(Hamilton's is only 10 ab's, Phillips is 34 ab's.....I'll take it either way though)
I know it'll come across as arrogant nationally (personally I think it's just solid confidence) but when asked today if he's the best pitcher in the majors right now, Cueto said...
"yes, because the numbers talk," Cueto said, according to assistant athletic trainer Tomas Vera, serving as his interpreter. "My numbers are going to talk for me. Everybody else is going to have to worry about their numbers. Every time I go on the mound, I do my job. I have to do my job to get the best numbers."
Congratulations to Brandon Phillips, who has tied Joey Votto for 13th place on the Reds' all-time home run list!
