Well, we're getting a very good look at what has plagued Hughes the entire second half - the lack of a consistent put-away pitch.
-
That 1-2 to Moreland has been a strike tonight.
-
Once again, Lewis struggles against the first two hitters, but gets them both out, and then looks great against the third hitter. Hopefully they get to him the second time through the order.
-
Haha well played.

Hughes was also fortunate that inning. Kinsler smoked it, and Murphy should have walked.
-
-
Both starting pitchers look horrendous. It would be a huge failure on the part of the Yankees' offense if they don't get to this version of Colby Lewis tonight.

I can completely agree with most of this. He was unlucky with the amount of hits he gave up, but lucky because of his strand rate. So in some ways he was lucky, and in other ways he was unlucky. The people labeling his outing as 'garbage and lucky' are incorrect. And anyone who is getting an implication from the word 'effective' has only themselves to blame for that. Go by the definition.

That's a poor analogy. Sabathia didn't pitch to a 6.5 ERA, he pitched to a 3 ERA in this game, with a ridiculously high BABIP. If you want to make a relevant comparison, you have to extrapolate those numbers out over an entire season. So instead of 20-0, 6.5 ERA, incredibly high WHIP, and an incredibly high BABIP, your analogy would have to be 20-0, 3 ERA, incredibly high WHIP, and an incredibly high BABIP. Not only would I call that effective, I'd call it a borderline amazing season, to have that low of an ERA with that high a BABIP. Now this is all worthless, because it doesn't actually pertain to the topic, but it does pertain to your analogy. But, here's the key point. By definition, the word 'effective' only cares about the end result, not the process by which it was achieved. The end result was a 3 ERA, and a win. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't accomplished by great pitching, but by the definition of the word, it was effective.

When all but two of the hits are singles, and his BABIP is up over .500, he's unlucky from a statistical point of view. That's all I'm saying.

Actually, according to the stats he was quite unlucky. 0.526 BABIP

Don't make excuses for them. Hughes was great in the ALDS on extra rest. Sabathia was decent in the ALDS on extra rest.
-
I completely agree, but I think it's a worthwhile gamble in the 18th round, especially considering his steady progress towards a return.
-
I haven't really taken many risks in this draft, but at this point, I will, with an opportunity to add an entirely new dimension to my offense. While the Saints have one of the best offenses in football, they seem to be at their very best when this player is producing at a high level. He will help in the running game, passing game, and return game. He's hurt right now, but he's expected to be back by week 8, so hopefully there are no long term affects. Reggie Bush, RB2/KR/PR

First time since 2004 that both LCS' go at least 6 games.
-
No surprise. Game 6 (and potentially Game 7) is all hands on deck.
