I want to say his curve ball is a plus pitch. He had a lot of swings and misses with it last night. He has some good late break on his slider and he has good commands with his fastball. I like his poker faced demeanor on the hill. Three cheers for McHitless!!!
Dang, that McHugh blog was nice to read. Really makes you appreciate what these guys have to go through to make it to the big leagues. It puts things into perspective and makes me respect these guys a lot more.
Beautiful Makes him my favorite Astros person. I would love to get the chance to talk to a guy like him or Brandon Barnes.

Less 4 seams than when he was pitching in 2012. I did not realize he became so 2 seam heavy last season. Regardless, he is throwing an increasing number of breaking and off speed pitches instead of fastballs.
got a text from my kid following the game at school about springer's HR...forgot they were on this afternoon. fortunately i have comcast at the office!
I actually don't have any ink at all..but I've told my family that if I ever did, it would absolutely be the H star.
