2012 Phil Hughes Performance Thread

[groovitude]

A broken clock is right twice a day.

You won't go there, but I will....
Wang got injured. When he came back, his injury was exacerbated because the Yankee staff handled him poorly. Now he's a broken Wang.

Nova is a nice pitcher. Let's hold off on the coronation. He's a league average pitcher. (3.80 being the MLB avg right now)

Robertson....is the only success.

So right now Mo and Robertson. That's pretty good, huh? 2 guys in 20 years? Quality stuff.

The Rays are crapping out starters like they are the matriarch Alien from Aliens 2 and all of them are killers. (Ok...a little exaggeration here, but you get the point)

Twenty years is a long time to talk about the current roster. The likelihood that a player has a twenty-year career is astronomically low; and to stay on the same team in this day and age is far lower.

That said, three. Pettitte is on the way.

[Jax Teller]

After Phil throws up on the mound, do they send a scout to Mexico to find an eccentric American pitcher?

[Bub]

it will be interesting to see Hughes try the "bullpen mentality" where he just airs it out the entire start

That's the plan, although you have to wonder how many pitches he can throw with the bullpen mentality. If it doesn't work then he'll have to try the bullpen mentality from the bullpen next time out. Hope he doesn't get hurt in the process.

[StaleMilk]

He might have the worst offspeed stuff in the league.

[Yankeesfan811]

did Phil go back to the Knucklecurve again? Whatever it is, his curve looks excellent tonight.

[flymick24]

back to the pen you go

[StaleMilk]

back to the pen you go

Time for DFA.

[dave8274]

Please send to Trenton for the rest of the year and Non-tender.

[Mr.Muhozi]

Curve looks better than it's been in a while. He just can't locate for love or for money.

[dabomb2045]

In the words of the late Owen Hart....."Enough is enough, and its time for a change"

[Panamaniac42]

Royal Flush.

[flymick24]

His stuff is not good enough to be the young AJ.

Could have had Jair Jurrjens in that trade. Another example of the Yankees inability to evaluate talent properly.

Where did the comps with AJ come from?

lol Jurrjens the AAA pitcher?

[StaleMilk]

lol Jurrjens the AAA pitcher?

Yes. The one that has a 10 WAR in his career compared to Humberto Sanchez who has a 0 WAR and was last seen pitching in Japan.

[kan_t]

Where did the comps with AJ come from?

Fastball, curve and nothing.

[Donnybaseball72]

Nice rebound start. 5.2 innings, 3er, 6 k, 1bb, 1hb

[hardrain]

baby steps...but much better going into his KC start

[Mr.Muhozi]

Make that 4ER.

[SLURPEE]

He is not a starting pitcher.

Put him in the pen already.

[CyYoung4Vazquez]

Girardi should have left him in.

[Mr.Muhozi]

He is not a starting pitcher.

Put him in the pen already.

Did you watch the game or are you just saying that?

[peeps4iife]

Did you watch the game or are you just saying that?

i watched the game... phil hughes improved and still isn't good enough to start.
