August 24, 200916 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 07:06 PM) Hudson will start Game 2. Can't have too much of a good thing.
August 24, 200916 yr 5 IP, 0 R, 3 K, 2 BB. Pitch count at80 He's out of the game now. Edited August 24, 200916 yr by Princess Dye
August 25, 200916 yr The rest of the schedule: B-ham at West Tenn Ely on the mound Dash at Salem Anthony Carter pitching for W-S. Kanny was postponed. Bristol at Kingsport Great Falls is off.
August 25, 200916 yr Hudson at 61 pitches through 2 innings. He's given up a 2 runs, including a homer, walked 2, & struck out 4. Edited August 25, 200916 yr by CSF
August 25, 200916 yr Author I'd still rather have Hudson pitch Saturday in Yankee Stadium than Contreras. I'll take my chances.

August 25, 200916 yr nice to see jordan danks on base a couple of times, despite no hits all tyler flowers does is get on base......in the two games today so far, 1 for 1 with 3 BBs and a HBP
August 25, 200916 yr hudsons pitch counts worry me ...especially if he gets called up against a patient team like the yankees
August 25, 200916 yr Hudson at 105 pitches through 5 innings, 61 for strikes. 4 hits, 3 runs, 3 BB, 7 K's.
August 25, 200916 yr its early, and only 63 ABs, but trayce thompson has 3 BBs and 28 Ks....thats not too good

August 25, 200916 yr Author Even if it isn't Hudson, I wonder if they would consider John Ely. He pitched tonight too, so he would be on track for Saturday.
August 25, 200916 yr QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 09:29 PM) hudsons pitch counts worry me ...especially if he gets called up against a patient team like the yankees For impatient posters begging to see him, he's just not ready yet. Let him finish out the year in AAA then next season reevaluate him. He might stay in AAA a bit longer and gets called up later on in the year, makes it out the 5th spot in ST, whatever. It's nice to see Flowers getting that walk rate up. He and Gartrell are really adjusting well in AAA.

He and Gartrell are really adjusting well in AAA. When our other options are Conteras, Garcia, and Carlos Torres. I have no problem exposing Dan Hudson to major league pitching for two months and preparing him to compete for the #4-#5 slot next year. What do we have to lose? If he's as confident as i hear he is, failure won't phase him, it will pave way for future victory. And if he's good? Well, that's really good for us.

August 25, 200916 yr Author I really would only give Hudson two starts--Saturday in NY and then the Wrigley game. If he does ok, keep him going. If Garcia does well the next two starts, then I would give him the 5th starter spot after Peavy comes back. I think they'll only need a 5th starter 3 games after Peavy comes back (hopefully Sep. 4-7).
