That kind of bad is a concern. I don't see how anyone can deny it.
Apparently there is a history with Cueto, but the last thing I expected out of a pitcher with such good control is for him to be unable to find the strike zone. Hopefully it was just one of those things and he will bounce back nicely in his next start.
The thing about young pitchers though is that often when one bad thing goes wrong for them, then the wheels come off blindingly fast. Like it or not, we're not talking about a cagey 30 year old Arroyo who will scratch his head, talk himself into shape after surrendering a three run bomb in the first; we're talking about a kid who knows that every pitch he's making is being scrutinized like a lab sample.
