Joe Gerardi is an idiot

It's not fair to say that Hughes blew the game. Thorton had a lefty match-up with two outs, after walking somebody he should of gotten out. It was his fault to me. Hughes didn't do well either, but to put it all on him is wack.
But I agree Felix should of made the game. Not only because he's better, but there was two other Yankees pitchers in the game; Joe should have taken Felix for a little diversity among the American League.
But he is up there in wins & that's kind of the secret stat people look at, plus he pitches for the Yankees; being successful there is bonus points & if Hack is right about the players, he was making it regardless. I wanted to see Felix in the game though yesterday.

Good post, but IMO wins in the MLB don't mean shit. Aaron Sele won 18 games for the Mariners in 2000 but his ERA was over 4.5. If you're on a good team you're gonna get wins, period. Felix's ERA is basically a whole run less than Hughes and he deserved to make it over him, that's all I'm saying. I'm not putting the whole loss on Hughes, but when my boy gets rejected (after throwing 18 innings of one run ball against the Yankees) I gotta stick up for him.

True, last year people had more wins than Greinke; but I don't know, I feel like it gives you a little extra look at. Although, if you have a lot of wins, you can't be pitching that bad lol; except in Aaron Sele's case. :P
Phil has been huge for us all season so far though & I guess Joe showed him a little respect; so it's like, he was deserving, just not over Felix. :P
