Well, Cliff Lee pitched very economically (helped out a lot by his defense) and gave up 4 runs in a complete game 7-4 victory over the Yankees. For the Yankees, Phil Hughes looked much more hittable than we've grown accustomed to seeing, allowing 10 hits and 7 runs (6 earned) in 5.2 innings.
The defense was also somewhat shoddy with a costly bobble in center field by Curtis Granderson, and a missed tag by Francisco Cervelli, which allowed rallies to continue. When your pitcher doesn't have their best stuff, it's hard to overcome defensive blunders as well.
But to get to the main event, as I'm sure is going to be the topic of discussion up until Hughes' next start, and will probably rear it's ugly head several more times before the end of the season, Hughes was not effective after his last start was skipped due to his innings limitation. There are some among you who are probably ready to throw this plan under the bus and make some heads roll for "messing with Hughes." Stop.
Hughes showed none of the signs of over-rest in today's start. His fastball wasn't pumped up, he wasn't overthrowing, his curveball wasn't bouncing after 55 feet, and he wasn't losing the strike zone (2 BB and 67% strikes). Hughes had a bad start, it happens, but I'm not pinning this one on a few days of extra rest.
And if we have intentions of using Hughes in the playoffs (which, between you and me, I think that we do), the day may very well come when we'll be glad that we don't allow Hughes to throw about 100 more innings than he threw last season. Right now, Phil Hughes is a brand new racecar, and we'd like to win every race as soon as possible, but it makes sense to be careful and see how he handles before we just throw him in the fire without any restrictions.
From here on out, let the hating on Joe West commence!
A split comment of the game goes to Gelatin, Edgware, FreeBradshaw, and Jedi Master A-Rod, respectively, for their fine work in their Joe West playa-hatin'. Their comments were:
Joe West recently tried out to become a ML Pitcher. Sources close to him say he wanted to become a pitcher that "eats innings".
My hope is that Joe West mistakes Hughes' pitch for a scoop of vanilla.
I hope Wakamatsu does the Japanese version of Wally Backman on Joe West tonight.
Not only does Hughes have to compete against the Mariners, he has to compete with Joe West’s gravitational pull throwing off his pitches.
Play of the game was the home run by Franklin Gutierrez that made the score 3-1 (increased the Mariners odds of winning by 11.1%).
Javy the Magnificent vs. King Felix tomorrow.

I heard it was pretty bad.
AT LEAST YOU’RE NOT DOING HOMEWORK. That’s right, you should feel better now.

Nope, his strike zone was pretty much fine:
I just can’t stand the dude.

If it wasn't for his bitching I'd actually praise him for his work

Anyone watching the College World Series?
UCLA & South Carolina are tied at 1 in the 9th. Great game.

It was loud
the obnoxious never ending hip hip jorge chants were at it’s loudest, crowd seemed really into it the whole game. Was surprised at how many people stayed for 9th.

I went to opening day last year and game 1 of the WS so I saw Lee twice dominate the Yankees. I sold my tickets for tonight’s game for good reason!

Syd Barrett?
Hey I have a request— your choice for mood music tonight is a tribute to Syd Barrett. If you ever choose an actual Syd song, please make it for a winning game to offset this Floyd loser game, haha.
Thanking you in advance, your fellow music and baseball fan,

Hughes will be fine, but the other guy
Uhhh – I think The Boss would realize if you can’t beat him… then have him join you. If we got any chance to get this guy i’d much rather see him in pinstripes then calmly knifing through us every year like we’re nuthin but butter and he’s a hot-knife.
Any possible scenarios this could happen if Cash changes his “not interested” motiff? Feel free to be creative.
ok - wish you were here -
Ha, good one – I admit, I chuckled silently on that one.

Athleticsgirl is going to the game tomorrow and sitting in my section
I can’t wait to watch that unfold into a possible shitshow…

I'm captivated by this CWS game.
Very intense. That UCLA player looked like he had just hit one out. There was even a Kevin Brown-type freak injury!

I saw the almost-HR
If that was Kay or Sterling, they would have freaked the F out. Then been stoned to death by angry UCLA fans.

Yeah this game is pretty intense
I’d be so excited/nervous if I went to school at one of those colleges haha

Game 2 of a best of 3 series.
South Carolina leads 1-0, so if they win this game, they win the CWS.

i don't think you can really
call cervelli’s play a missed tag…… the only reason the play was even close cause he block the plate with his body until the ball got there, the throw didn’t beat the run
by Gangsta Yanksta on Jun 30, 2010 12:08 AM EDT reply actions
The runner would have been out if Cervelli's tag was accurate.
So yes it was a missed tag. That’s what I think.
