ESPN said it was his left leg. Possibly a hammy.

Young pitchers that get rushed up to the majors often tend to overthrow with their excitement and adrenaline. They haven't had enough experience pitching through the minors and building up their bodies to handle the rigors of pitching in the big leagues. You see this kind of thing often enough to know that its a risk to rush 20 year phenoms to the majors too early.

ESPN now calling it a hyperextended knee.

I tend to believe it happened because Jesus has learned to hate the Yankees like most rational people. This makes me happy.On the other hand, I really like Phil Hughes and was rooting for him tonight. It was more of a fluke than the "rigors" getting to him. I'm sure the excitment and adrenaline of carrying a no-hitter into the 7th inning would've had no effect on a 3 year vet, right?

It didn't look that bad. I know he had a no-hitter going, but Torre was being cautious with The Future right there. Kid looked pretty good tonight, but there was no way Joe would have let him pitch 9 innings.
I think if Hughes farts don't smell right, Captain Hook would pull him.

Interviewing Hughes right now, and he says he's not in excruciating pain but felt "a pop." Over-extended on the 0-2 curveball to Teixeira. "Will be disappointing the next 5-10 days when I can't be there."
Sounds like it'll be longer than that, though, judging from Torre and Cash.

And in his first start, it appears that someone has been tinkering with his delivery:http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/...anical-changes/

Question is: Did the Yankees engineer this change in anticipation of Hughes call up to he big leagues? And did this change in his delivery cause the hamstring problem? Might not be that far of a stretch...

Sounds like a stretch to me. If the change in delivery caused the hamstring problem then whether he was pitching in the minors or the majors makes no difference.And in his first start, it appears that someone has been tinkering with his delivery:http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/...anical-changes/

It does if they tinkered with his delivery in anticipation of his call-up. According to that article, the video from Hughes first start looked different from his motion earlier this year in AAA also.Sounds like a stretch to me.

No it doesnt. That video is comparing his 06 delivery with his 07 delivery. I SERIOUSLY doubt they would tinker with his delivery during the season before he was about to be called up.It does if they tinkered with his delivery in anticipation of his call-up.

While the video shows the '06 delivery compared to the '07 one with the Yankees for comparison's sake, the author seems to indicate that the changed delivery was VERY new.
