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 year, and both Greinke and King Felix have both ...

Rodriguez puts on a show, as Yanks finish up the regular season with a victory
Zell's Pinstripe Blog —
The Yankees finally wrapped up the regular season today, as they stomped all over the Tampa Rays and won the game 10-2. A.J. Burnett pitched well in his final tune-up before the postseason. His pitching line was: W, 7H 2R 1ER 1BB 3K. Joba Chamberlain looked like his old self out of the bullpen. Radar guns at the stadium had him at 95mph on the gun. He ...

riveraveblues.com 10/13/2009 — Like most (all?) of you guys, I spent my Sunday evening watching Phil Hughes pitch part of the 8th inning in the Yankees’ series clinching win over the Twins. And also like most of you, I was waiting for Hughes to throw either Denard Span or ...

Some Quick Phil Hughes Pitch F/X Analysis
mvn.com 10/29/2009 — Phil Hughes hasn't been his dominant self this postseason; that has been very well documented. So far, his line reads:
4.2 IP, 9 H, 5 ER, 4 BB, 6 K.
That works out to a .557 BABIP, but it's not like he's been giving up weak hit balls. 35 percent of the batted balls against him have been ...
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.

He was an integral cog of the bullpen this year and I hope he'll be a big part of the starting rotation for a long, ...

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 ...
