Hughes was dominant last night. Granted, it was the A's, but it is pretty tough to throw 7 no-hit innings. His stuff has improved and his location was much better. When he came up, he was a curveball first pitcher and it was a loopy curve. Now, he is a FB first pitcher capable of throwing 92-93 on the corners, he can cut it, he can run it. He uses a spike curve now to compliment his pitches and occasionally throws a changeup. He is becoming a very, very good pitcher.
In terms of the offense, once again, we got a pitcher out. He came out after 6 innings as he was closing on 100 pitches, even though Sheets was pretty tough. If we can win games scoring 3 runs, then this team is gonna be f***ing great.
