In the month of April, Phil Hughes posted a miserable 7.88 ERA, a 6.40 FIP, and allowed a .329/.395/.658 slash. For the impatient fans, the 25 year old’s career as a starter was over despite a gaudy 9.56 K/9. Since then, Hughes has gone 31.1 innings in May with a 3.45 ERA, a [...]
Phil Hughes has been a mystifying and at times infuriating pitcher to watch throughout his Yankee career. As a prospect, he was viewed as very unlikely to bust because he had good command to go along with a fastball that could touch the mid-90′s and a legitimate plus curveball. In the majors, Phil’s [...]
Coming into Sunday’s game against the Royals the Yankee bats had completely vanished. The Bronx Bombers had scored only 13 runs in their last six games and, frankly, were lucky to be only 2-4 over that stretch, as opposed to 0-6. There’s too much talent on the Yankee offense for the team to struggle the [...]
After the roller coaster ride of the past 48 hours, with the great Mariano Rivera’s career looking all but over one minute and vowing to return the next, we can now cast our eyes to the current bullpen members and where the pieces fit. The Yanks will want to keep their plan close to the [...]
Last week I wrote that Phil Hughes was too predictable in his first three starts, throwing his four-seam fastball way too often with 2 strikes. I concluded that his reluctance to use an offspeed pitch was allowing hitters to anticipate the fastball and more easily work the count. Four days later, Phil Hughes [...]
One of the biggest problems we’ve noticed with Phil Hughes over the last…forever, really…is his inability to put hitters away once he got to two strikes. It seemed like batters would hit an endless number of foul balls and then take pitches to even the count or get back ahead, and [...]
In his four starts of the 2012 season, Phil Hughes‘ best offspeed pitch has been his changeup, yet with 89 two strike counts in his favor, he’s thrown only 3 changeups. It feels like it’s happening more and more, and it’s something we’ve uttered his entire career, but the pitcher gives up too [...]
April twenty-fifth, twenty twelve is no doubt a date which shall live in infamy within the Yankees Universe. Early that afternoon, news broke that Michael Pineda had suffered a labrum tear and would miss the rest of the season. The situation could have been worse – rotator cuff damage has effectively ended careers and [...]
Last night, Phil Hughes didn’t make it out of the third inning. He got to two outs in the inning, but just couldn’t close it out. After striking out a batter to lead off the Texas half of the frame, Mitch Moreland singled. Ian Kinsler then hit [...]
The Rangers are coming off an 8-1 road trip against the terrible Twins, the rickety Red Sox, and the tenacious Tigers. The 2010 and 2011 American League champions have arguably been the best team in baseball thus far, and although its way too early to start looking at places, they currently have the best winning [...]
