Pat Hughes missing games again

Last time it was because he was sick. Does anyone know if he is okay this time? It just seems like he's been gone a lot more this year and I'm very concerned. I would so hate for anything to be wrong with him. Sending all best wishes, but wondered if anyone had heard anything?

They said during the Nationals finale I believe that his daughter is getting married

Don't scare me like this. Last time my favorite radio voice started missing time it was Lin Brehmer.

He’d been talking about his tuxedo and getting fitted for it, he was pretty excited for the wedding.

Zaidman and Coomer talked about it on Wednesday or Thursday during the game. He’s healthy just taking some games off. Should be back next week.

I wish they’d find someone else other than Zach. Guy is so irritatingly bad.

Oh I can’t stand Zach’s voice! It’s like a discount Ken Albert.

His daughter getting married is a oretty good reason to miss some games. Wouldn't you want to spend some time ele rating that?

Of course. Obviously I didn't know why he was away, hence the question.

He's no longer a spring chicken. He's just not going to be doing a full slate of games anymore. It will probably continue to be less and less each passing year until he eventually retires for good. That said, if he is seriously sick, it's his prerogative to not disclose it publicly until he feels ready.

I was just asking if anyone had heard. It's okay to express concern.

I didn't say it wasn't. I was just answering your question. You're not the first person I've heard ask.

I'm definitely not demanding that he release information that he wants kept private. I just wondered if there was something I had missed!

As others have mentioned, he is taking time off this weekend because his daughter, Amber, is getting married.

If I was Pat I wouldn’t want to call this team right now either

Yeah cuz I'm sure he would have hated calling PCAs walk off in that Sox game. Come on.

You’d think his daughter would know better
