Twins Phil Hughes lost half million because of rain delay

Hughes would have received $500K if he pitched 210 innings this season. He was on the bump with 209 2/3 innings when today's game was hit with a 66 minute rain delay. Atleast he got the win.

Think the club gives him some dough as a nice gesture or are they not allowed to do such a thing?

That's fricked.

Charlie Comiskey wouldn't do it.

I suspect the Twins will give him most, if not all of the bonus. Would make them a ton of good pub.

I would roll him back out there for the last game just for an out.

4 games left, they'll find an inning for him somewhere i promise you.

Gardenhire said he wouldn't bring him out of the pen.

Comiskey would piss on the field to get a rain delay to save him the money.

Absolutely - Hughes has been really great for them. Guarantee you they pay it - especially with all the negativity around the Vikes.

Hughes also broke the record for strikeout/walk ratio in a season, I'm pretty sure.
He walked 16 guys all year. And had 16 wins.

Hughes posted an illogical 11.31 K/BB this year.
8.08 K/9 and a stupid .71 BB/9. Hughes walked 16 in 201.2 IP (pretty sure his numbers from his most recent start are not included). Also, Hughes had a 3.61 ERA, 2.67 FIP, and 3.15 xFIP, so his ERA should go down in 2015. Great season.
Honorable mention to the super accurate Hisashi Iwakuma who only walked 21 in 172.2.

Can the Yankees have Hughes back plz?

Odd home/road splits for Hughes this year

I think those innings limits and issues like that are in contracts for a reason. The Twins don't have to do anything and I'm not sure they can legally.

I heard that the Twins were going to let him pitch a inning or so on Sunday to get it.
