Countdown to Spring Training
Just 2 months and 3 days 'til pitchers and catchers report!
Holy crap, you mean Melancon didn’t pitch?
Ur still my boy manban shake it off.
Can’t get the ball in the air against McAllister, can you?
Glad to see Hughes pitch relatively well.
Relatively well? He gave up no runs and allowed five hits in 5.2 innings while walking no one and striking out 6. You want a perfect game every time out?
The only fault I can find with his performance is 5.2 innings instead of 6.
Here’s hoping he continues pitching this well.
Wow. That’s harsh.
Yeah, I am being pretty harsh.
This early in the year, all you can do is be glad about solid performances since it’s too early to really observe trends, right?
I can’t hold Hughes to an 8IP, 4H, 9K, 13-2 GB-FB standard every time out, can I? No one’s that good.
You can hold him to that standard, but it’s 100 percent unreasonable. That’s a 280 IP season with 315 K. That’s not just ace good; that’s among the best pitchers of all time good.
I know he’s not quite that good, ha ha.
On a side note, I wonder when was the last time a pitcher in the minors had a workload like that, if ever?
You realize that’s just one out, right?
Also, the Trenton pen has to be pretty damn good if McAllister can give up 3 runs and the team wins 1-0.
!!! LMAO
They delete runs.
Melvin Croussett?
Okay, if something bad happens in the rotation.
Who gets the call, at this point, IPK or Philly?
Gotta be Hughes, right? Better stuff, better MLB results.
Probably Hughes.. Iim not sure who I’d rather see first though.
I gotta figure it will click for IPK in the majors eventually. He is just too dominant in MiLB.
I guess it depends on who gets yanked from the rotation. If Wang gets shelled again today, then Hughes would make sense as he pitched yesterday.
Is Justin Snyder’s potential utility man?
Jesus is a beast, son!!!!
good new ajax just has a deep bruise. xray showed no damage. if hughes and kennedy really put it all together this season do you think the yanks keep them both. i feel they wiil kkep hughes.
Edwar Gonzalez walked again tonight.
The reason Berroa is in AAA instead of Ransom is that they want to go undefeated in AAA.
I was at the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre game tonight (I go to college around here), and it was an amazing game. Berroa looked solid, not only hitting two runs but making a nice running, over-the-shoulder grab on a bloop shot. It seemed like most of the lineup (except for Chris Stewart, who is terrible) can produce, and their team seems solid.
I was upset I didn’t get to see Melancon pitch tonight, but I can tell you that Hughes looked good out there. He didn’t face much pressure, had some good movement on his pitches, and he really confused these Rochester hitters.
Plus, tickets for the lower level were 14 bucks. How can you beat that?
you cant, unless you want an obstructed view in the bleachers.
Joba to the Bullpen & bring up Hughes & Berroa NOW!
Ransom down and Berroa up. That is all.
Hughes was pulled after 5.2 because of pitch count (96), not because he was struggling. I love it because he is really becoming a pitcher, not just a thrower.
On another note, Berroa has been raking and playing great defense throughout the nine games so far. It would have been so easy for him to go into a funk after being the last player to be sent down. I am all for bringing Berroa up, and sending Ransom down.
McAllister has a nasty sinker. 11 gb is on. The walk to strikeout ratio bad but it’s 1 game. The guy I don’t think walked 3 in a game all last year.
I was at the Tampa Yanks game last night. Montero was as expected: huge with the bat but had some trouble behind the dish. Actually everyone swung the bat well against the poor Clearwater staff so not sure how much you can take from that. But he did hit the ball hard and early in the count. Bleich pitched well; he was able to get out of a tough jam in the early going. The only run was Yonderman Rodriguez’s (righty) solo shot to left.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Hughes was brought up to replace Wang in the rotation. I’m not sure what they can do with Wang? I doubt he has options left. Long man???? I don’t know, but he is killing us right now.
