C’mon Abreu or A-Rod

That picture would be me. : )
When AJ can throw his change and curve for strikes, he is downright nasty.
Just gotta work counts, up his pitchcount, and try to pounce on a mistake.
Pete…I’m happy to say I got my media pass for PNC Feild…I hope I never get to interview Phil…I hope he does well…and I didn’t forget…you and I have an interview to do. http://www.tpsradio.net The Shift Shameless promotion!!! LOL
I like the movement on Hughes’ fastball… or is that just a lack of control? lol
I think Jorgie wanted a curve there
A double play would be nice here
Andrew… nice pic with Hughes!
Is Hughes on a pitch count?
time for some runs
What’s his pitch limit for the night? I just missed Sterling said that Guidry is aware of it and he mentioned the number but I missed it.

That Yankee offense is just too dominant for words.
hes at 75 pitches vi believe and the most hes ever thrown in a game was 89 so hes near his limit you would have to think
Michael Kay just said Hughes’ pitchcount is almost at his limit and that the 5th would probably be his last inning. I agree that Hughes should be monitered but it doesn’t make sense to me why the Yankees would call him up now if they new he could only go 5 innings. Wasn’t the whole point of finding a new starter to get some relief for the bullpen? Why not call someone up (even if they’re not as good as Hughes) who can at least give you innings?
After 3 innings you are trashing the offense? Good call, great baseball smarts.
damn just missed it
ARGH!
John Sterling has to stop calling ‘em out before they’re out.
- KMT
well well well. look whos back ? gameday had that flyball by arod marked over the fence. ha. how much did he miss it by ?
jay
No one else can give more innings than Hughes. Wright, Ohlendorf, Clippard etc all would probably only be able to go about 5. At least from Phil we’re getting a quality 5.
i would have never guessed that some of the Boston trolls wud be as dumb as ‘h?o?’… its beyond pathetic.. so bad.. its like watching David Ortiz leg a double.. F.U.N.N.Y
They didn’t know how many pitches he could throw prior to calling him up. If his pitch count is 85-90 pitches, why would one assume he would only pitch 5 innings.
The long first inning hurt him tonight. Aside from that, he has pitched quite well.
Sure as hell has pitched better than the other scrubs they have put out there for most of the season and he doesn’t even know what he is doing yet.
IMO, he deserves another start after this performance.
why does john sterling have to apologize and expvain why the arod hit would have been a home run. there is something repugnant in the way he is flattering. sort of makes me sick. going on and on. five times.
“After 3 innings you are trashing the offense? Good call, great baseball smarts.”
We’ll see. Bad teams lose low scoring close games. Heh, bad teams lose games all sorts of ways and NY is doing just that.
It must have been close because Sterling went into his “it is High, it is Far, it is…caught at the wall.”
Speedy Giambi just got nailed trying to stretch a single to a double.
Sterling said he should have gone…Waldman says, “no, he’s too slow.” LOL
- KMT
ooooh, this offense is so good it’s scary! LOL!
Another day, another big fat loss.
I think some of the other pitchers definitely could have gone longer than Hughes, especially since the Yankees aren’t as worried about there “progress” and not overworking them. I’m not questioning Hughes’ performance at all, I think he’s been great after that first inning. But 85 pitches is usually about 5 innings unless you are lights out. A rookie coming up is probably at least going to have a few innings when he throws a lot of pitches, even if he has a good game.
SJ44, he absolutely deserves another start. He’s on a pitch count and yet pitching innings, and not only that but more quality innings then several of the guys the Yankees threw out there. He actually has potential too! Hah.
But seriously. He will get another start. Now he hasn’t been spectacular today, but his fastball has shown some life, his curveball has shown some drop, and his changeup has shown to be effective too.
we have to find a way to win this game with boston coming into town, it could be 9 in a row real quick if we don’t
Why does Adam Loewen completely fold to Boston but dominates the Yankees? It’s just not fair.
sterling is good for the home run call and the yankees win call. other than that, he is ruining susan waldman, who has to suck up to his elderly status.
sometimes, as much as i love the yankees, i have to turn off the radio, after really feeling sick from sterling’s inane comments.
The kid is a keeper…for sure!
Who is this guy? (hellooffense) You must not know much about baseball or you would know that the yankees are among the league leaders in runs scored. ha
Yeah, if they don’t score a lot of runs tonight, that makes them a “bad” offense. Ok, whatever.
I agree about Hughes. Honestly, he is pitching better than I thought he would, given his lack of experience.
One thing is clear. His stuff alone is better than anybody they have in the rotation with the exception of Wang. The ball just explodes out of his hands.
He’s inexperienced, and he clearly doesn’t know the hitters yet.
I realize its early but, I would gladly take him through a couple of more turns in the rotation. He is better than Igawa, that’s for damn sure.
Blown call by Bill Miller, one of the worst umpires in the game. A brutally bad call.
He has it alot tougher than Pettite did as a rookie coming up.
SJ44 include Petite in the exceptions
Posada has been terrible today with the throwing to 2nd. He would have gotten Rios if he could get a grip on the ball, and he would have gotten McDonal out if he didn’t throw it high.
Ouch. Loewen gives Boston bases loaded, no outs, and they get 1 run off of it.
Meanwhile, everything is going JUST wrong for the Yankees. Is it Henn up in the bullpen?
Hughes has better stuff than Pettitte. Andy is a better pitcher. But, in terms of pure stuff, Hughes has better stuff.
Bill Miller’s blown call cost them a run. He is one of the worst umpires in the game. Figures, in the midst of a losing steak, they get stuck with him tonight.
ok. finally good news. about hughes. i’m excited. they are taking him out after this inning but he has not gone over 89 pitches in the minors either…
Cairo costs us more runs because he is slow and terrible. HURRY BACK JETER!!!
This kid is definately going to be nasty!! Nice K!!!!
They were chanting hughes right?? Sounded like they were booing…
I hope no one would ever boo him…..
I think Hughes deserves another start too but if they keep his pitch count this low to protect his arm it doesn’t really make much sense for the bullpen.
its nice to have a strikeout pitcher … haven’t had once since clememns. hughes deserves atleast one more start. who knows. maybe he deserves to be up the rest of the year.
larocny they were not booing. They were saying HUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHEEEEEESSSS
