That's One Way To Keep Phil's Innings Down
Published 4/14/2008 by Brian at Depressed Fan
2 innings tonight for the rook. That's 5 innings total over his last two starts. Not quite the quick start we'd been hoping for. By the way, sitting Melky and starting Damon in center has cost the Yanks at least 1 run so far (Manny scoring from second on a single up the middle), you can make an argument for 2 (J.D. Drew scoring on a sac fly) or 3 (Damon doesn't back up on the Ellsbury stolen base when the ball goes into center field).

Dice K gets walks 6 and throws 116 pitches in 5 innings. That's good enough to get the win, though, given Phil Hughes' 2 IP, 6 H, 6 ER, and 3 BB. His ERA now up to 9.00. You just can't count on young pitching. ...
