Sometimes, it’s just not fair
ByI present to you the probable pitching matchups for Double-A Trenton’s 4-game set with Double-A New Hampshire this weekend:
Thursday: Ian Patrick Kennedy vs Ricky Romero (1.72 WHIP, 4.11 ERA)
Friday: Phil Hughes vs Ismael Ramirez (1.80 WHIP, 5.54 ERA)
Saturday: Joba Chamberlain vs Eric Fowler (1.63 WHIP, 6.00 ERA)
Sunday: Alan Horne vs Kyle Yates (1.53 WHIP, 5.04 ERA)
So um . . . yeah . . . should be an interesting series . . .
(FYI: you can watch Saturday’s game online for free via CN8)
OK, so AAA didn’t turn out the way everyone planned. But that has to be the best 4some to ever occupy a AA roster.
Mike — do you know who’s going to follow Hughes on his rehab start? One of the starters?
That’s a good question Greg, it’ll probably be either Jason Jones or Brett Smith. I’m guessing Smith because he’s actually a part of the 5-man rotation and that would be his day to start. I could be wrong though…
this is just funny
That Rotation would be unfair against the Devil Rays. Whats Hughes Pitch Count for friday?
45-50 is the pitch count I heard. Boo-urns.
Saturday’s game will be televised on CN8.

Thanks, Mike. I was just getting a little greedy: I’m going to the game and was pulling for a Hughes/IPK or Hughes/Joba daily double.
Sigh.
Hey, I also just noticed that Brett Gardner is up to AAA, and Sardinha was sent down.
Heading to Trenton tomorrow to see Hughes, can’t wait. Hopefully he’ll stretch those 45-50 into 6 innings.
