Random Observation
Second straight day where the starting pitchers have just about the same ERAs.
This season, Cecil is 2-0 against the Yankees, and Hughes is 2-0 against the Jays. When Cecil faced us in June at Rogers Centre, he kept us quiet for eight innings.
Hey its 12-3 Angels
Sweet!

TLDR version
Loria and the president of the Marlins conned the politicians into funding a new stadium that they could afford to fund themselves, but claimed they were too poor.
Someone leaked the team’s private financials that showed the team/owner basically pocketing tons of profits every year while claiming to be only “breaking even” to the rest of baseball and the public.
and Loria is the Eagles owner too
what scum.

He’s almost 30, and almost half his home runs have come in one year
I hate all Boston sports teams
why bunt?
Lewis had really worked the count, and you know the Yankees are watching Hughes’s innings. Why would they give away an out there? I don’t get managers (assuming that Cito called that).

it's not completely unprecedented
I read somewhere that Davey Johnson hit 40 HRs from 1969 through 1972, then hit 43 in 1973. Was he on steroids?

Nelson Cruz is the same age
and is doing almost the same thing. Not the same amount of HR tho
by FreeBradshaw on Aug 25, 2010 7:26 PM EDT up reply actions
Good question
breakout year I guess. I know most people are going to say steroids, but steroids don’t take you up 30 home runs from your previous total. It just doesn’t do that. He’s made some sort of adjustment.
I hate all Boston sports teams
Plus
Who in their right minds would take steroids nowadays? I mean its possible but who would risk getting caught?
you get caught now
and you’re suspended, embarrassed, and your reputation as a baseball player is at the very least in question, and possibly destroyed. No, it’s not worth the risk.

I don’t like Bautista either. In fact, I might go so far as to say that he’s a massive douche.
But accusing people of steroids with absolutely no proof whatsoever is some very, very lame bullshit. Not accusing anyone in particular, but come on guys, let’s not be that dumb.

is there a way to tell how many strikes were swinging strikes
and how many were called strikes and how many were fouls?
During today’s game or for the season? Swinging strike percent at the very least is available on Fangraphs.
Questions or thoughts? Email me at duggan2423(at)gmail(dot)com
during or after the game
seems at a glance that Hughes is having trouble getting the ball past the bat when it’s in the strike zone (I know he has a couple strikeouts so far).
Try his game long in Fangraphs after the game is over.

The gamelog doesn't have it, excellent as it is
Brooks uses Gameday information, and says he has 16 swinging strikes. You could go batter by batter, if you like?

When was the last time he came into a game in relief with the bases loaded?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
dunno
baseball-reference.com only has him making 3 regular season relief appearances, none in high leverage situations.
Facetious question- it was in the year that shall not be named.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Seems that Hughes doesn’t have it today.
Got to wonder if he’s tapped out.
