Hey people, it's now 2:14 in the AM, I just got back from the game and I'm tired as hell. Nice win for the Yanks tonight, nice to see Tex come up with the big homer and Hughes was great out of the pen. ..... The minor league report is up and if I can keep my eyes open I will post a brief game summary. Hope you all had a nice Friday night and enjoyed the game.

Hughes as a starter 5.22 era.
Hughes as a reliever 0.89 era.
Hughes doesn't have a great 2nd pitch yet. Out of the bullpen he has really been putting hitters away with his fastball. His fastball looks electric out of the pen. Hughes curve is not that great. I guess its good enough to keep the hitters honest. But every hit the tigers got off Hughes was on his curveball.
I read the article in the star ledger that Hughes now has abanoned working on his changeup out of the pen. Hughes in the pen as been dominant but he still needs to work on having better secondary pitches if he wants to be a good starter.
Joba secondary pitches are much better than Hughes.
OK, so falling asleep in your computer chair sucks. Just want to make sure everyone knows that.
Yea Anon, he's not throwing the change as a reliever. Personally I think he's going to eventually need that pitch because I don't think the Yanks plan on keeping him in the pen forever.
Hey, I almost fell asleep on the subway coming home from the game, so no problems here!
