Hughes has poor night vision

April 30, 2008

According to the Post's Joel Sherman, Phil Hughes has been having a tough time seeing at night in Yankee Stadium.

Hughes crossed-up catcher Chris Stewart a few times last night, and later admitted that he had trouble seeing the signs.

Apparently Hughes says there is a strong glare from the lights at Yankee Stadium at night and may wear neon glasses to prevent the glare from affecting him.

In two night games at Yankee Stadium this season, Hughes had one good start (6 IP, 2 ER against the Toronto Blue Jays on April 3) and one bad start (last night's awful performance against the Detroit Tigers).

Maybe Hughes is just sitting too close to the computer when he's blogging.
