When I was growing up, we had a hutch. For the life of me, I couldn't remember what piece of furniture it was that my grandparents used to call a hutch. So, like a child of the naughts, I Googled it. On Wikipedia, it says a hutch is where one prepares an evening tipple. Let me just say, I don't remember anyone in Jersey ever preparing an evening tipple. An evening Sloppy Joe? Sure. An evening 'bang on the side of the TV so the picture would come in?' Yup. An evening 'curse at the neighbors?' Definitely! An evening tipple? Not in my Jersey. But, for the sake of argument, let's all pour ourselves an evening tipple for Drew Hutchison. Last night, he went 8 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 1 Hit, 1 Walk and 8 Ks. See, nothing to it. The only mistake yesterday was a long ball surrendered to Chris Davis (now has back-to-back games with ding-shots). As I said when Hutchison was called up, he could be as great as any pitcher to come up this year. Sadly, it may not be this year that he is great. It's the pickle that is young pitchers. I would own him, shoot, I'd even have a tipple with him, but I wouldn't fully trust him until he has a longer track record. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
