55 pitches and 6 Ks through 4, hell yeah. Hughes finally living up to the potential that made me believe in him 3-4 years ago
Yup. I have to think the biggest part of it is finally being healthy. 2007 was lost to injury. 2008, too. And he was great last year in a bullpen role. That cutter is huge for him, though.
oh, absolutely. I'm convinced he tried pitching with the broken ribs and before that the hammy was still in the back of his head. While I was not a fan of him going into the bullpen last year, I think it might be paying off huge dividends. He learned how to put hitters away
Picking Sabathia, Burnett, Pettite and Rivera's brains can't hurt either EDIT: As I'm typing this, he blows a Fastball by Kouzmanoff for K number 7.
Meanwhile, Alio is snoring away cuz he has to get up at 5 in teh morning. Hes gonna be pissed if he throws the no hitter....thats right, I said it...oooooooh
