Damn Hughes almost got to 16 wins. He has the best k/bb ratio with someone over 125ip. Tied with Saberhagen.
True, but it is in Minnesota where nobody's watching. No pressure.
A good season is a good season. We salivate when other pitchers do the same. And I don't think he problems with the pressure.
I agree that a good season is a good season, but you can't deny some guys just can't handle it in NY.
He could.
Best two full seasons with NY, 18 and 16 wins. Both seasons a 4.19 era. He benefited from good run support and had 13 losses one of those years. Only season he posted below a 4 era was a partial season of 80 something innings. Solid but not great for a couple seasons spaced apart. I'd take him over Capuano but not a huge loss if our rotation didn't all end up injured.
The first full year with 18 wins he hadn't pitched over 100ip in 2 years because of injuries and bullpen. 2011 he had a tired arm and was topping out at 89-90. Came back better in 2012. And last year just had a bad year. Which happens even to the best. The stadium did hurt him a lot. And he does have babip bad luck. Even this year it's high. We don't know what would've happened if he didn't hurt his hamstring and changed his pitching style.

There was absolutely zero chance Phil Hughes was coming back. I like the guy but let's not kid ourselves. Yankee stadium and the Yankees were not a good fit by the end. He needed a change of scenery.

If last year went better there was a chance. It was the wrong time for what happened last year to.happen.

This blocking the plate rule is terrible. Drew was out by a mile but dude was clearly blocking the plate before he had the ball
They need to make up their mind on how to call it. The guy was camping without the ball in the middle of the baseline. Drew should have ran his ass over.
I never watch your team....yet I saw the walk off vs. Koji and now this one.
If I had known then what I know now...

8 games behind Baltimore with 7 games against them coming up. "So your telling me there's a chance!" Hahaha
Chris Davis suspended for PED (Amphetimines). That has to be the least surprising drug suspension so far. When is Ortiz finally getting caught?
He's still investigating how he failed the 2003 drug test. I am sure he will have an answer any day now.
Yeah. I should edit that. He has already been caught. When will he be suspended would be the better question. Doesn't matter. And, I honestly think all those old ones (including A-Rod) should have been thrown out, but whatever. It is what it is. Just a bit funny.
I love Davis' response - Yeah, I used. I had a medical clearance at one time, but I no longer do.
So, basically - I kept doing what I knew was illegal until I was caught. Not sure why we care so much about baseball but not other sports.
Let's sweep this DH and get within 6!!!! Now that their .150 hitter is suspended it should be a lot easier. )
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

Yeah, man. Those old tests were supposed to be anonymous to see how bad the drug problem was in MLB. They weren't even supposed to have names connected to them.
I don't give half a shit about steroids. You use, you get caught, you get suspended. There are rules in place now. As I always say, at least steroids in baseball are only contributing to breaking records, not peoples brains.
We have Chris Young batting 5th the body formerly known as Stephen Drew batting 6th and Indianapolis Colts RB Trent Richardson in Right field. How can we lose?
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
