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.

Video tributes from former teammates. Phil Hughes (boos), Nick Swisher (loud cheers), Robbie Cano (boos), Curtis Granderson (mild applause).

So that just about does it for the season, huh?

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.

He's the worst.

WhatYouTaughtMe

Anybody see Jeter answer that reporters phone and hang up on the guy? That was funny.

WhatYouTaughtMe

Sounds like our booth is giving up too. The most uninspired HR call I have seen. Even if it was the opposing team.

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.

Cliffy6745

That'll do it.

Cliffy6745

Al leiter does not shut the fuck up

Cliffy6745

Oh good. Al leiter's daily how to hold a baseball lesson. Scram dude. Go back to mlb network

igotid88

That almost looked like it was going to be the last at bat for Jeter ever.

igotid88

Just as they were showing Giancarlo Stanton getting hit on the face. Chase Headley takes one on the chin

igotid88

Walk offffff

Cliffy6745

Hahahhahha hahahahahah. Is that serious?

Wobbie

I never watch your team....yet I saw the walk off vs. Koji and now this one.

WhatYouTaughtMe

Wow. Love it.
