18 wins to 13.94 ERA - Has he totally lost it?

P_Manning 18 · Apr 14, 2011

With not so many games today I saw Phil Hughes was scheduled to pitch today and almost tossed him in my lineup just so I could get the extra Ks and potential win.... so glad I left him on my bench... I have a deep bench (keeper league) so I will leave him there for a few more weeks... but if a better option comes forward he will be gone.

It was 18 wins with a league average ERA....he got a lot of run support.

Not saying he's a bad pitcher, he has a lot of talent....but don't be fooled by the wins.

There were a lot of smoke and mirrors in those 18 wins last year. He was pretty brutal for about half of the year.

He's not looking like the Phil of old.
The O's made him look a AA pitcher.

Why isn't Bartolo in the Starting Rotation?

Because he looks like a taller hispanic Sydney Ponson.

When will the trade rumors of Chris Carpenter to NY start?

What about Carpenter/Pujols to NY :shock:

I'm just joking but could there possibly be a blockbuster trade?

Don't worry, they will sign him at the end of his 8 year contract with the Cards

I'll save Schmidtfan the trouble. At least his ERA is lower than Brian Wilson's.

Anyone know if this is mechanical or all in his head? Maybe they should drop trade rumors ala Pettite for Estes and hope he has a turn around.

Just being honest.
Colon is pitching alot better than Hughes, but just like Ponson, who I couldn't stand as an Oriole, doesn't look one bit like an athlete. Big turd comes to mind, but that's MO. You don't have to agree with me, but he doesn't look like a ball player.
Maybe they are worried about his stamina and conditioning to be a starter.

This is a rhetorical question, right?

Yeah, there are lots of atheletes that dont look like atheletes. lol

Hell, Bartolo has pitched 4+ innings after Hughes three starts.

I don't care if he breaks down in July, he is pitching WAY to good to be Damage Control when Hughes pitches.

I'm a Sox fan and he is almost looking like the Bartolo of old that didn't suck. His velocity is back up to low to mid 90's and his stuff actually looks good. His stats may not reflect it, but Colon has pitched very well.

rbadger · Apr 14, 2011

Hughes has lost 4-5 MPH off his fastball for some unknown reason...if he can't get his velocity back up, he'll be OUT of the Yankees rotation soon

coltsnsox07 · Apr 14, 2011

Dice-K for Hughes straight up. Maybe the other pitching coaches can figure something out.

Yea, Greg Maddox was the epitome of what a ball player should look like.

Agreed. He'll be playing catch with Kei Igawa soon.
