    I'm starting to wonder if he's tipping his pitches or something. Not making excuses but that last AB was ridiculous.

    I'm hoping Feliz can eventually get into the rotation along with LMJ and shift McHugh toward the end of the rotation where he belongs.

    Apparently numbers are irrelevant.

    Look at Mchugh advanced stats and you would see he was blessed with a **** ton of run support. Dude averaged more then a hit a inning

    So they replaced Kazmir with Fister. We know that. They picked a short FA deal over a long one for a dude who has been poor in the 2nd half in his good years.

    Regardless, who cares? The offseason is over. Can we stop rehashing what you wished? It's irrelevant (as is Joe Mauer--I promise).

    Kazmir's FIP is higher than McHugh's over the last 2 seasons.

    Clutch first performance, then was mediocre his second performance when it really mattered most. Not blaming the game on him but overall he was average in that series.

    We really needed a #2 this off season and thats why so many of us kept stating that over and over

    McHugh is still in your rotation. And, barring injury, he will get just as many starts throughout the year if his first game was Friday night instead of tonight, so what's the big deal?

    This is Clutchfans. McHugh and Gomez already should have been cut.

    Y'all need to stop overreacting. Its one bad start. If he has a string of 3-4 bad starts then we can start worrying.

    Remember that this wasn't exactly an anomaly. McHugh always has trouble in the 1st.
