I don't care when it happens, beating the Red Sox is always great. The Yankees took them down 8-1 yesterday, which made the fact that I forgot I was supposed to live blog the game even more painful.
- The star of the day was Michael Pineda, who made his second ST start and looked damn good doing it. Pineda threw 4.1 shutout innings, gave up 4 hits and no walks, and struck out 5. He threw 60 pitches, 45 for strikes, and all 5 of his Ks came on swinging sliders. He was sitting low 90s with his fastball and touched 94.
- Jacoby Ellsbury continued to progress, going through a full day of workouts. Joe said he won't play today or tomorrow, and that he won't put Ellsbury back in the lineup until a day or 2 after Ellsbury tells him he's good.
- Brendan Ryan also did a full day's work with no problems and the plan is for him to play again on Thursday.
- David Phelps, CC Sabathia, and Masahiro Tanaka all threw bullpens in the morning.
- Big day of roster cuts. 12 MiLers got the axe, including Chase Whitley, Tyler Austin, Mason Williams, Mark Montgomery, and Corban Joseph.
The media narrative on Aaron Judge is loathsome and tired.
