Phil of the Homer

With all the problem Phil Hughes has this season, giving up homers wasn't one of them. No one took him deep in his first five starts. That changed tonight as Granderson and Sheffield both hit long balls, accounting for three of the Tigers five runs. They lead the Yankees 5-2 in the fourth, with Hughes still in the game.

Update: Hughes only lasts 3 2/3 innings, allowing six runs. His ERA is an even 9.00. At what point do the Yankees return him to AAA to work out his problems?

Sure, send Hughes to AAA and see if they can pry Zito from the Giants pen. It works.

Hey great idea, ship Zito to the Bronx. I like that idea.

NYY needs to give Hughes and Kennedy a chance to get their confidence back. When you haven't gone 5 innings in close to a month you're not working anything out. Either send him down or let him pitch out of the pen.

Dec 4 Adam said Hughes was a billion times better than Lester. Dec 4 Yankee Fan, being more scientific, presented stats in Hughes favor & said it was a joke to even compare Lester & Hughes.
Were these two fans watching Lester's 8 inning-2 hitter-no runs vs Jays tonight?
