Here we go again. Another Phil Hughes start will come tonight, and once more, we’ll be crossing our fingers and hoping for something to click. As as I write this, I can’t help but feel bad, like I’m setting Hughes up for failure.
The first step in setting someone up for failure is [...]
The two youngest members of the Yankees’ rotation pitched in the last two days, with Phil Hughes going on Sunday, losing to the Rays, and Ivan Nova throwing last night against the O’s, helping to notch the team’s first win of the 2012 season. Hughes looked fantastic at times, but [...]
It’s March 30th and the Major League regular season has technically already started. Teams are making their final cuts and most roster competitions are winding down. Yet in the Bronx (Tampa, rather) much is still up in the air. The bullpen is not settled and neither is the bench. Cesar Cabral and Clay Rapada
Monday night we learned that Phil Hughes has likely earned himself a rotation spot. His sleek 2.03 ERA speaks for itself, but behind a regained velocity, Hughes appears to be a different pitcher. The 0.975 WHIP is inspiring, but aside from velocity, whats so different about the young righty? Watching his performances, [...]

Phil Hughes continued his impressive spring today by going 6 .0 innings, giving up two runs and six hits. During the minor league game he was sitting 91-92 mph with his fastball and topped out at 94. His curveball and changeup looked impressive as he struck out 4 through the day.

Let me preface this post by saying that this is not meant to be me taking a shot at Andy Pettitte. Andy is one of my favorite [...]
No game today, but we got your links.
After Mason William’s debuted yesterday with a bloop single, we have a few nice pieces to catch up on. Pete Caldera has your puff piece on what the organization thinks of him, while Chad Jennings has some quotes from the kid himself. Prepare yourself for [...]
On Friday afternoon, I was driving home from the Modell’s in Stamford, CT, having just bought my father a gift card for his birthday (original, I know). At a red light, I took out my phone to clear a blinking email and happened to hop on Twitter. I didn’t see the original tweets, I didn’t [...]
