Johnny Cueto reacts to MLB Network airing ridiculous photo of him
Johnny Cueto may want to have a chat with the good folks at MLB Network.
After the San Francisco Giants righty held the Seattle Mariners to one run in six innings on Wednesday for his first win of the young season, the network aired a graphic of where Cueto ranked among the MLB’s ERA leaders since the start of the 2011 season. The only problem? The accompanying photo was a ridiculous shot of a tank-topped Cueto posing in the yard with a donkey.
The two-time All-Star responded with this emoji-laden reaction:

After a subpar 2017 campaign where he went 8-8 with a 4.52 ERA, Cueto, 32, has started this season strong at 1-0 with a 0.69 ERA through two starts. But that photo is a level of disrespect he probably hasn’t seen since Kansas City.
