Comments on: Hughes done for the night http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/04/26/hughes-done-for-the-night/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:50:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: YankeesLuv http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/04/26/hughes-done-for-the-night/comment-page-2/#comment-31013 YankeesLuv Fri, 27 Apr 2007 12:27:31 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/04/26/hughes-done-for-the-night/#comment-31013 I think there was three guys who got a hit last night Giambi, Arod, and Cano, that's about it. I said before the game that even if he was awful I wouldn't judge him too harshly, he's only 20 years old for goodness sakes. He looked nervous the first inning seemed to settle down and looked pretty good at times. I think there was three guys who got a hit last night Giambi, Arod, and Cano, that’s about it.

That year he ended up pitching 133 innings, giving up 146 hits, striking out 126 and going 9-4 with an ERA of 4.32. This is no guarantee of anything, and nobody is saying Hughes will be another Clemens, but I'm thinking Hughes could duplicate those numbers, perhaps better them, and apparently, it didn't hurt Clemens to have a little "on the job training". I thought Hughes did pretty well tonight, all things considered, and is certainly worth at least another start.

Why we all worry about or wives, kids, jobs and health for awhile and let the Yankees fix their problems. Keep the faith people, the Yankees have people paid a lot of money to fix these problems.
