Hughes was great last night. He was great this season.
He needed 210 innings pitched to earn a half a million dollar bonus this year, though. He only got 209 because of a rain delay. IF the Twins were smart, they would give him the bonus anyway. With the money they wasted on Nolasco and Pelfrey this year, it would be a nice gesture on their part.
Hughes had the best strikeouts to walk ration in all of baseball HISTORY this year, too, breaking Brett Saberhagen's 1994 record. Only 16 walks, the entire season. WOW! That's just TWO games for Liriano or Deduno.
It's interesting to note that the Twins had almost 30,000 paid attendance last night for their last home game BUT there were less than 10,000 that actually showed up. Fans have lost interest. The 2.2 million season attendance is the worst they have had since they moved to Target Field.
