Solid tune-up for the Franchise
Phil Hughes was terrific in his last start of the spring:
5 innings
3 hits
2 runs
1 earned
1 walk
4 strikeouts
69 pitches / 44 strikes
The only real mistake Hughes made came in the first inning when he walked Josh Willingham with two outs then allowed an RBI single by Luis Gonzalez.
He’ll start Thursday against Dustin McGowan.





Pete help us out here, any word on Jeter? He came out pretty early.
Jeter??????
Pete, any word on Jeter?
Jeter?
Why only 69 pitches?
Jeter tweaked his groin. Heard it at mlb.com
He was supposed to throw 75, I guess he didn’t see a point in him facing 1 maybe 2 hitters.
Also maybe he wants to get all his pitchers a little work. Mo for a batter, Kyle as well. He doesn’t want them sitting so long.
heard it at mlb.com? care to post a link?
it would have been on the radio if it was on mlb.com
Derek actually tweaked his groin on the flight to Miami while stuck in the restroom with a stewardess and reaggravated it during tonight’s game.
Lane is going down to AAA, good insurance.
I don’t think any of us care about Hughes until we find out about Derek.
To the unfortunate lad who had his laptop stolen by Clay Buccholz:
I’ll check with my people about th 4/5 game and get back to you. In the meantime though, if you find a taker for the tickets, by all means, go for it. don’t wait on me in case my people don’t come through…
Great job by Phil.
Now, need to know what the frack happened to Jeter
1,2,3 for Joba. We shouldn’t take that for granted.
I am assuming nothing happened to Jeter or Peter would have told us already….
Maybe Jeter left the game early and went out to South Beach to try to find his wife and get back at Matsui…
actually I believe it was a 2-3 inning.
Yeah I think we would have heard something by now. Maybe Joe pulled him cause of the error, till we hear something you can’t get upset.
If he’s going to South Beach, he’s not coming back with a wife.
Pitching was killer today. Glad to see my Kyle do well.
Checked out Kats blog on Newsday. She doesn’t know what happened to Jeet.
Inside the park homerun by a catcher!! WOO HOOO
Nobody knows about Derek but on radio Susan Waldman and Mark Feinsand were speculating in the booth that he may have hurt his back on the play he made the error on. However, they said there are no tv cameras so they could not see a reply.
HOLY MOELLER!
Inside the park HR for Moeller!!! It’s time to head north.
Wish i could have seen that one, hope that guy is ok
Inside the parker for Chad Moeller! 4-2 Yanks.
wait. I thought the game was over…
Andrea we are on the road!!
Whoa
Does anyone know how his command was tonight, and how his breaking stuff looked?
Can we please stop saying pitchers are terrific when they give up more then one run.Terrific is going 5 innings 5 strikouts and no runs.2 runs in 5 innings isn’t terrific,it’s just good.Hughes will be terific but like most Ohlendorf fans they overrhype way to much every time the pitchers go out on the mound.
