What concerns me is that Phil doesn't have bad stuff tonight. This is who he is. Fastball 92-94, without the ability to consistently hit the corners. Good curve that isn't going to get a ton of swing and misses. And not much else. The league has caught up to Phil Hughes, and, in my opinion, the only solution is for his changeup to improve (which isn't happening anytime soon).
-
Granderson seems like he's good for at least one awful read per game.
-
It was in a good spot, but Hughes curveball just isn't missing any bats lately. It has been one of his issues.
-
Hughes wouldn't have been moved to the bullpen, in all likelihood Vazquez would have been dealt. I admit, it would be bad for Hughes' progression if he was placed in the bullpen. I wasn't advocating for him to be placed in the bullpen. My point is that if he doesn't become more than a two pitch pitcher, he's going to wind up in the bullpen in due time.
-
He can't afford to get squeezed. EDIT: They're about to crush him.

Two pitches is no longer cutting it for Phil Hughes. Shocking. I know he's been good this year (for the most part), but I'm concerned that he's going to end up back in the bullpen if his changeup doesn't progress.
-
If Alex hadn't been momentarily fooled by the breaking ball, that would have certainly been a home run. Now a big AB for Posada. EDIT: Should have been so much more.
-
If he continues to produce at a very high level, I wonder if they call him up to DH during the stretch run (and possibly the postseason, if they make it).

McCarver equates Steinbrenner to Nazi Germany
yankees228 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in Other Baseball
Couple things here. McCarver implies that there's no mention of him around NYS, which simply isn't true. There are various pictures of him around the stadium. Additionally, Torre didn't help the situation with his book. It's an unfortunate situation, but both parties played a role. It really doesn't bother me at all, but hopefully down the road they can sort out their differences. -
This really was a great win for the Yankees. Winning a game in which your starter only records seven outs, and when your offense is facing David Price is very impressive. Unfortunately Pettitte's injury puts a real damper on things.
-
Pettitte has nothing today. His 0-2 pitches to Kapler were horrendous, and he deserved to give up a hit.
-
Sure, but I don't see that as relevant. He isn't known as a great first half pitcher, yet was he excellent the first half of this year. What's more relevant, in my opinion, is his 3.82 FIP, 4.01 xFIP, and .265 BABIP.
-
I'm pretty confident that pitch to A-Rod right there is going to be the biggest pitch of the game. He should have tied it, and now Price is almost certainly going to settle down. I don't like to say that games are decided in the first inning, but this might be the exception. EDIT: Or maybe not. Nice job by Cano.
-
The dreaded, yet inevitable Pettitte regression has begun. I wasn't looking forward to this.
-
Maybe purchasing all the minor league contracts because of injuries had something to do with it.

-
The fact that the Red Sox aren't even getting shut down offensively with the lineup they're putting out there right now speaks to how good their offense really is.
-
The Yankees actually say that the primary reason they exceed the luxury tax is to bolster the rest of the league?
-
Because they're a team that isn't going anywhere right now, and if they believe they can turn Joba back into a starter, it might very well be worth it.
-
Soria for Joba actually makes a great deal of sense for both sides. Interesting thought Jacko. I just wonder if KC would be tempted to hang onto Soria, who is signed through 2014 with a very affordable contract.
-
There are some definite similarities between tonight's game and the game following Thurman Munson's death.
-
Pretty tough to be prepared for this amount of injuries.
