I like Urshela. He'll get exposed if he keeps playing regularly, but he's provided some really solid defense and has come up with a few hits too. He's done a nice job to fill in.

Couldn't agree more. He's been really solid.

No one expects him to win games for them while filling in, just don't hurt the team and lose them. His D has been outstanding and is something they need while short handed. He's not giving anything away on D, in fact it's the opposite.

Anything we get from him on O is a bonus for me as long he keeps playing great D at 3rd.

Must have felt like he was floating around the bases

Lol he flew around the bases.... should have taken his time and made sure he remembers it!

The way they drew it up when they traded for Paxton.

You really think he'll forget. O'Neill just said he remembered the pitch was a curve ball.

A very different Paxton tonight. His velocity is up, his location is great, and he finally looks like an ace. Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come.

Did Sale look at bad as his stat line? He’s been awful in each of his 4 starts. Was he even reaching 93/94 on his fastball? Go figure the year I rely on a Red Sox player he’s dog shit.

!

Gleyber!!!!

The temps are still down a little. Let's see how he looks when things warm up.

(shocker).

Nothing new.

They said he was throwing harder than the recent scouting reports the Yanks got on his fastball. He did hit mid 90's with it tonight.

Nah...but I think if I hit my first HR in Yankee Stadium against the Red Sox, I'd have taken a little more time to soak it all in, lol. He was running like he was going for a triple!

James Paxton... what a brilliant outing.

This game flew along.

Beating the Red Sox

OK Maybe beating Dallas :)

Pax. Hope he's a Sox killer.

to do it.
Paxton comes up huge. This kid Harvey as some stuff.

by all. Kick ass tomorrow.

Very satisfying win.

Let's get a Happer bounceback tomorrow night and sweep this 2 game set.

let's do it again.

Paxton was fucking money.

the Sox suck a lot more than the Yanks do, and that's a good feeling.

Great to see them play well in all phases no matter who it was against but it being the Sox and Sale makes it even better and more enjoyable.

Let's build on it with another tomorrow.

Sales velocity down

Always nice to shut Boston out.

Wow

They probably didn't have 12 losses last year until June 1st or something.

The World Series hangover is real.

They said on ESPN May 12. They were 26-12

Wow

Paired with an earlier start, and this thing was wrapped up by about 9.

I'll gladly sign up for this any night.

Especially when it includes kicking the shit out of Boston.

@ktsharp - James Paxton is 1st pitcher in Yankees history with 12+ K and 2 Hits or fewer allowed vs Red Sox at Yankee Stadium (old or new).

Still just counts as one April win, but not bad, not bad at all.

A true bitch slap...taking out Sale was great. All of a sudden his FB velo was up to 97/98. Interesting. The reports of his demise were pre-mature.

See, trash a player and he improves his game. Only Bird failed. Perhaps he wasn't trashed enough.

Happ's turn tomorrow?

Always great to beat Boston..

That was fun to watch last night.

exactly what we needed. Get this win tonight and maybe we can start to turn the corner. The Sox are a mess and have no excuses for how bad they've been

It's the only way!

and looked what happened. So... JA Happ sucks too.

5 simple innings of 3 run ball. Fully rested bullpen takes care of the rest.

I hope they stick w DJLM in the leadoff spot even against a righty.

I really can't wait to get Hicks back in this lineup. Overnight they'll be better disciplined, have more power, more speed, smarter baserunning. Hopefully only another 2 weeks or so.

fucking guy sucks.

paine of glass. He couldn't hit the paine and if he did it would bounce off...

He sucks......

Keep it going.

Agreed. Pumped to get Hicks back.

All of the reports on him lately are good - he says he feels "100%" - they just have to get him up to game speed and he's ready to rock.

I think we'll see Hicksie before the end of April. Fingers crossed on no setbacks or any more BS.

As for Happ...

Trash so far this year. With a capital "T"

Geez, did you watch him last season, just off to a bad start. Hopefully he gives them a good effort tonight.
They can use it from him, needs to get going.

Anti-Happer in these parts.

I've already spent way, way too much time thinking about the most expedient way for the Yankees to make sure next season that his third year option doesn't vest.

I've landed on using an opener in every one of his 'starts'. The vesting condition is 165 IP in 2020 or 27 starts. Using an opener should take care of the latter. The innings thing will take care of itself because he has old balls and isn't very good.

(I think this is strong enough, and from the heart enough, that it will suffice for The Cooler voodoo)

but this was what I feared for Happ. Aging pitcher relies primarily on his fastball. Doesn't take much of a velocity drop off to become very hittable. Need a nice bounce back start tonight

I said that as part of a bigger plan.

Well I guess you were being facetious, but on here,
you are never quite sure...
