    Gardner sitting two days in a row against LHP? Ouch.

    (I know it makes sense the way Kearns and Granderson are hitting against LHP right now, but still, ouch. I figured Girardi might give Swish the night off.)

    Gardner is playing. Granderson batting 2nd against a lefty, now thats surprising.

    Swisher was pulled, knee was sore.

    But it is looking a bit like a Gardner/Kearns platoon may be developing in LF

    He's a very tough match-up for the Yankees.

    Did Cecil always throw like this? For some reason I dont remember 93-94 from him.

    Incredibly frustrating AB from Hughes to lead off the game. A microcosm of everything that's wrong with him at this stage of his career.

    Lead off walk. No good.

    Don't do it Hughes, lucky to get that 0-0 pitch back.

    It's ridiculous. If he could have just thrown a CB for a strike or fired a decent changeup he would have had dude dead in the water. But no.

    Looks legit, working with excellent vertical break thus far. He's likely overthrowing a bit.

    Not good pitching at all from Hughes this inning, fastballs that doesnt induce swings and misses and breaking stuff that is either flat our out of the zone

    Big time velocity in the 1st-inning but got away with a lot of mistakes, except that one.

    No one EVER swings at Hughes curve ball. Hughes has no out pitch. Same story.

    When you pitch that poorly, thats what happens.
    Mitre better be ready tonight unless Hughes pulls a 360 before the 2nd inning.

    Hasn't this been Phil's MO lately? Struggle early then settle down but throw a lot of pitches?
    The Yankees are now 206-1 when Mariano has been asked to protect a four-run lead.

    If that was true his ERA would be much higher than 3.88 (or what ever it is after this inning).

    That was one of the worst pitched innings I have seen from Hughes this year, the fact that its ONLY 0-2 is a friggin blessing.
