Mark Teixeira told about Phil Hughes to Yankees’ official website, “His confidence is incredible”. “He’s throwing every single pitch with authority.”

“It surprised all of us,” Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. “When you have somebody in charge of running the game without bias and you hear those comments coming out pretty strong, it worries you a little bit.”
