New York Yankees notes: Nick Swisher, Phil Hughes and more
Pinstripe Alley —
... my guess is it will be Jerry Hairston in the lineup rather than Brett Gardner, simply because he hits right-handed.
Are you worried about the bridge to Mo?
Phil Hughes (nine hits in 4 2/3 innings, and a 5.79 ERA) and Joba Chamberlain (seven hits in 2 2/3 innings)have not been the lights out bridge to Mariano Rivera the Yanks hoped for this post-season.
Pitching coach Dave Eiland said the Yankees will go with what got them to this point.
"You trust it, and you go with ...
Mechanical problems for Hughes
The Yankee Universe —
From Brittany Ghiroli (MLB):
Hughes has allowed nine hits in 4 2/3 innings, posting a 5.79 ERA that pitching coach Dave Eiland says is largely the result of an old mechanical problem resurfacing.”[It's] just a minor adjustment and he knows it,” Eiland said prior to the team’s optional workout on Friday afternoon. “It’s just staying within yourself — just trust it and not trying to make that good stuff you have even better. Because you do that [and] you get a little jumpy, you get a little quick through your delivery and you affect your command. And that’s what is happening.”

A Fine Fall Day

("Not going to school on Wednesday, going to the World Series") Good morning, Fackers. It's a fine one to be a supporter of the New York Baseballing Yankees, wouldn't you say? According to the folks over a LoHud, the Yanks didn't hold much back last night. It's alright, they've got almost three full days to shake it off. ...
Here’s what to do in the eighth inning
lenNY's Yankees —
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 tight situations: - In Games 1, 3, 4 and 6 because those are the four games without off-days the following day. - When facing the bottom half of the lineup. Rivera gave up a run to the meat of the Angels’ lineup. What do you think the Halos or Phillies would do to Hughes? - ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
