I think the most crucial issue generated from Game 6 is Joe Girardi’s lack of trust for Phil Hughes . Mariano Rivera , not Hughes, pitched the eighth inning of Game 6 to secure the pennant. Will it be handled the same in the World Series? That’s a tough call. When to use Hughes in ...

Phil Hughes can no longer be trusted
lennysyankees.com 10/24/2009 — Remember the guy who was lights out in the eighth inning during the second half of the season?

CAN THE YANKS WIN THE WORLD SERIES WITHOUT PHIL HUGHES?
majorleagueblogging.com 10/29/2009 — The answer: Probably not.
Sure, there are certainly other ways the Yanks can win. The Phils could fumble and collapse of their own accord (not likely). The Yankees’ starters could all go 8 innings every start, with Mariano Rivera closing out the 9 th (tough, but can be done). Or the ...
The Phil Hughes Situation
310tojoba.blogspot.com 11/2/2009 — Look, nobody is more upset than me about the fall from grace of Phil Hughes.

A fifth decision
yankees.lhblogs.com 10/13/2009 — It doesn’t fit exactly with the previous post, but I got an email about it and it seems worth discussing.

4.2 IP, 9 H, 5 ER, 4 BB, 6 K.

When you assume...
puristbleedspinstripes.com 10/23/2009 — We assumed. We assumed and we started to plan, as though all that was left was tying up some gift ribbons and signing the greeting card. We forgot, in the process, that the Yankees still had to win the game. They had to win the game, in Anaheim, against the best Angels pitcher. Even on paper it ...

The Amazing Phil Hughes
itsaboutthemoney.net 9/30/2009 — So we all know that Phil Hughes has been incredible this year. A revelation, even. But did you know that as a reliever, he's been the best pitcher in baseball? OK, so that's ignoring that Hughes has only pitched 49.2 innings from the bullpen this ...
