While the uncharacteristically poor outing may have been just postseason jitters, another possible theory is that the Pirates fans’ chants of “Cue-to” throughout the start of the game got to Cueto. The taunting can be heard in the Martin video.

Those chants brought back memories of another famous taunt, which came at the expense of New York Mets great Darryl Strawberry.
