He is rehabbing, not being pampered.

Wow...groundout, strikeout (looking), strikeout (looking) - Both looking Ks were on fastballs painted on the corner - 12 pitches, 9 strikes

6 innings, 2 hits, 1 BB, 0 R, 7 Ks - 75 pitches, 55 strikes

I would assume he is done for the night and will throw another 15-20 in the bullpen to get the pitch count up over 90

EDIT: Worth noting that he mixed in 2 sliders in that 6th inning...

He was so impressive today, I watched him on MILB.tv. He is ready physically, he is ready pitch wise. They just want to get his pitch counts up.

His strike-ball ratio looks good

Just trying to read between the lines...

"The entire rehab thing was a frustrating time, so it's good to finally be back.''

Perhaps the Yankees told Hughes something they haven't told us yet :clap:

He hates walking people. :love:

That's why he's going to be so good, he gets really pissed whenever he walks anybody.

One more time before hes back in pinstripes!!

1 inning, 0 hits, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K - 11 pitches, 10 strikes
2 innings, 1 hit, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 Ks - 27 pitches, 16 strikes (got squeezed pretty badly but still got out of it unscathed)
3 innings, 2 hits, 0 R, 2 BBs, 2 Ks - 42 pitches, 25 strikes
4 innings, 2 hits, 0 R, 2 BBs, 2 Ks - 48 pitches, 30 strikes
5 innings, 2 hits, 0 R, 3 BBs, 4 Ks - 64 pitches, 40 strikes
6 innings, 2 hits, 0 R, 3 BBs, 4 Ks - 76 pitches, 48 strikes
6.2 innings, 3 hits, 0 R, 3 BBs, 4 Ks - 91 pitches, 57 strikes - BACK TO THE BRONX

I've never seen a guy get squeezed like this, literally 50% of the balls COULD'VE been strikes and nobody would've complained. Oh well, at least he is fighting through it.

6.2 IP, 3 H, 3 BB, 4 K: 91 pitches, 58 strikes

He was getting squeezed a ton today, but he still did terrific. He is ready.

Yup, and I forgot to mention the 13 groundouts - 3 flyouts. He was primarily working on his 2-seamer, which led to the low K rate and the high GO rate. It's amazing that he can basically just choose which way to dominate hitters depending on what he chooses to throw. All while getting squeezed :rofl:

cmaff051 · Post #55 » by **cmaff051** » Sun Jul 29, 2007 11:05 pm

I would say of those 34 balls he threw, atleast 10 of them could have been strikes.
