    Big Maple puts down great bunt Encarnacion scores. Yankees lead 2 - 0.

    Beautiful Squeeze Play bunt by Paxton to score Encarnarcion.
    No one's home covering the plate, lmao.
    :biglaugh:
    Beautiful small ball. I'd love to see more of it. The combination of small ball in three-run home runs is a beautiful thing.

    If Judge used a Rickey Henderson batting stance / squat, his strike zone would be equivalent to your normal 6 foot ball player...

    Surprises me Paxton hasn't had a better year. Maybe his knee problems were affecting him before his condition was obvious???
    Paxton also had arm issues in his minor league days.

    Paxton looks pretty damn good tonight, with a hard southpaw slicing flaming fastball of 98-97 mph.

    Here's a breakdown of his knee problem earlier this year.

    Paxton’s main concern stems from the affect the knee was having on his mechanics. The discomfort was causing him to occasionally open up his motion early, shifting his weight off his back leg – which would certainly account for a dip in velocity. Paxton has been treating the knee with ice, laser treatments and range of motion exercises, and there’s no reason at this time to think Paxton would be unable to continue this strategy moving forward. It’s certainly something to monitor, as Paxton is a critical piece of the New York rotation, going 3-2 so far with a 3.11 ERA and 12.4 K/9.

    Van Wagenen sitting out there with Mets fans, I wonder how Cashman would fare out in the stands with Yankee Fans.

    I am surprised Hicks did not try to run that hit off the wall into a triple.

    If he would have hustled instead of posing at the plate and jogging to first he gets a triple and scores on the sac fly. His styling cost us a run

    He must be trying to impress Cano.
    Hick's BS posturing cost the Yanx a run.

    Why he was given a 7 yr contract blows my mind. Do the Yanx have a lack of faith in Florial in yrs to come???

    Florial has had some success until he fractured his wrist last year. Then he ran into a wall during spring training and dislocated the same wrist and refracted it.

    When you stand at home plate watching your masterpiece, you are lucky to get to second base!
    Players should be horse-whipped with such antics.

    Kaat- " the Yankees have scored three or less runs 11 times this season, and have lost all 11 games." Hopefully that's not the case tonight. .
    No home runs thus far. Will the streak be broken.

    Kaat is a pro analyst/commentator; damn near as good as they come imho.

    Kaastas, is a pretty boy amateur flunky in comparison and Kaastas is his own biggest fan, who broadcasts with a mirror in front of him in lieu of a monitor.

    I used to kinda sorta liked Costas before he became a MLB regular.
