Transcript

00:00the Yankees 45 and 19 most wins best record in all of the bigs but not as of

00:09this moment for tonight LA with Yamamoto on the mound minus 126 is the road

00:15Moneyline favorites yeah trying to do some background information quickly here

00:19Cody Poteet is gonna be on the mound so certainly not one of those named

00:22pitchers that we like to talk about but looking at some of the starts that he's

00:25had this year major league baseball only two which is all my number shows 42 at

00:29bats total only 19 of those in the past 30 days if we take a look between those

00:34starts five innings pitch and six innings pitch she's actually done

00:36decent there the last game he's pitched against the Giants on the first of the

00:40month 19 batters he faced there two earned runs before that he went six

00:44innings against the Guardians on the road and only one earned so he will be

00:47making his first start of the year at Yankee Stadium which certainly shows

00:50that stepping up into the big time he can fill into those shoes because you're

00:53gonna need it going up against some of these hitters now granted 75 degrees at

00:57first pitch you take a look at 12 mile an hour winds blowing out the right

01:00field we got an atmosphere that should be able to get that ball into the seats

01:04but if we're taking a look from that you know Dodgers perspective you do have the

01:08better pedigree pitcher on the mound there's no doubt about that numbers for

01:12the past 30 days have been good but a little bit leaky against right-handed

01:15batters and as we know you start to focus on stamp you start to focus on

01:19Aaron judge and rightfully so now in the starting lineup anticipated today is Juan

01:24Soto who certainly has been doing his fair amount of damage over the past

01:26month going up against right-handed pitchers the question is gonna be is he

01:30going to come back in now reading into the Soto injury he actually said Ben it

01:35doesn't hurt when I hit or throw or even play the field it's really just when I'm

01:39just sitting around that I can just feel that achiness in my forum now the good

01:43part about that is he's not a pitcher when you hear forum tightness out of a

01:46pitcher start to think doom and gloom forum tightness out of a hitter maybe

01:50you can work around that and maybe it's no big deal because it did come out of

01:53last night's game after the rain delay as a precautionary factor but

01:56sometimes we see that hey give the guy a day or two off it's like the world

02:00series to do that because you know all of these guys are amped up by playing

02:03the Dodgers and playing the Yankees in Yankee Stadium I would be surprised if

02:06Soto's out of the lineup but just something to keep an eye on tonight yeah

02:10it is really interesting DRS because forearm tightness if you were to hear

02:14that for any pitcher like alright Tommy John surgery let's get it on the OR

02:18schedule as of right now but not the case necessarily with your position of

02:23good to hear from Soto that it's not really bugging him just can be sore and

02:28achy after layoffs and with the delay yesterday maybe that was the issue a

02:33spotty shower or two midway through the afternoon in the New York City area but

02:37I am very pleased because tonight is supposed to be perfect baseball weather

02:41up in the Bronx
