Battle of the young guns: Hughes vs Lester tonight

[Rudzud]

I'm loving this matchup. Lester has looked sloppy lately, and Hughes is pitching like he was two years ago.

Filthy.

While I'm a Sox fan I'm a fan of baseball first, and I'm lovin Hughes' stuff. Course, I have both goin on my fantasy team, so heres hopin for a 1-0 game.

Sadly I don't see that happening.


Should be a good game!

I know, more likely than not, both starters will get shelled.

Agreed.

Even though Hughes has been pitching well, I'ts hardly nasty stuff and I'd call him a bit lucky also. Lester is flat out filthy. It's a good thing these 2 are going head to head, it will really showcase a ACE against a journeymen for all to see.

My prediction:

Lester: 7 2/3 - 2 runs - 4 hits - 2 walks - 9 K's
Hughes 5 1/3 - 5 runs - 9 hits - 4 walks - 3 K's

We will be lucky if this game gets in. It's pouring in NJ/NY.

Lester's stats don't look great on the surface (likely because they aren't great ) but he's been pretty unlucky as opponents have a .391 BABIP. His K:BB ratio is close to 4:1 which is solid. He should be fine.

hope they get the game in, go yanks.

FCB should send Phil a letter or something to check out the new site. He probably doesn't even know about this, since he wasn't on Beckett for the last couple of months there. I want to see his updated bucket lol. I wonder if anyone saved it, I wish I could see that again.

Darn, I really wanted to see this matchup too....

 

[Rudzud]

Was a somewhat good matchup. Posada really screwed Hughes right out of the gate though.
