 presented by your local forward stores and Meredith Yankees setting out a stacked lineup tonight and that lineup includes Gio Urchella And there's no doubt the Yankees are excited about the fact that Urchella is back in there He missed the last two games after taking a ball to the shin in game one of the Kansas City Royals series I asked Aaron Boone of Urchella told him he said he wants to be in the lineup tonight He was actually here at Fenway early taking some fielding practice early and getting in the cage to make sure he was ready To go tonight, but it goes without saying this is an extremely important series for the Yankees and speaking to Aaron Judge after the final game of that Kansas City Royals series He simply said this Yankees team is a different team right now than when they played the Red Sox last and you look at the Offense in particular much more competitive at bats their average 15 games against the Red Sox Anytime you're playing a division rival Especially a division rival that's that's a good team and ahead of you in the standings. Those are important games so It is a big weekend up here. We're looking forward to it We are coming in playing obviously better baseball and feel good about the direction We're moving in but we got to continue it and know we got a obviously a tough opponent to get the thing done with What stands out to you about your team that they might be ready for this challenge of the Red Sox who clearly played you tough last time Um, I just think the the quality of of the at bats. Um, you know, we're starting to see the the length of our lineup Show up and pay some dividends. Obviously we're we're starting to get guys that are swinging the bat Well, um, you know starting to see some of the power With certain guys really become a factor and um, but I think as we've seen here this last week I think just the the overall And still not even I've said this a lot, but still don't even think we're where I believe we're going to get to As an offensive club, but but we're certainly starting to create that traffic a lot more consistently Making it more difficult on the pitcher more consistently and that's that's how we're built and and how we've got to do it Um, and hopefully we can continue that. Um You know on into this weekend To watch out for tonight will be the Yankees defense in the outfield You're going to see Miguel and do harm in left field Aaron judge in center and clint frazier in right It'll be the first time and do harm as it in left here at fenway park first time judge is in center
