Fri 6.7 4p: Yamamoto vs. Poteet Sat 6.8 4.30p: Stone vs. Cortes Sun 6.9 4p: Glasnow vs. Gil
Baseball royalty will be on stage this weekend, with arguably two of the top three teams in the majors this year, battling it out in the Bronx. The Yankees enter the series with an eight-game win streak, but might be without the services of slugger Juan Soto, who exited Thursday's game with forearm discomfort.
The Dodgers have plenty of discomfort of their own, what with hordes of players on the injured list, not to mention smarting from two shutdown losses in Pittsburgh to start out this road trip. Sure, Thursday's 11-7 victory was nice, but what should have been a coast to an easy victory (the Dodgers were up 3-0 after three batters, thanks to a Freddie Freeman HR) instead got precarious, thanks to another shaky start by Walker Buehler, an uncharacteristic three runs allowed by Evan Phillips, and yet another Chris Taylor hitless day (to be fair, Taylor thankfully didn't start the game).
So I'm not feeling very good about entering the lions' den here this weekend. The way we're playing, I think we only take one of the three games.

soto left last nights game but mri came back negative. he's not in tonights lineup but boone says he'll probably be available.
damn. i was hoping to miss him this series.
dodgers are the underdogs in this series. peleton 294 will be there this weekend.
let's do this!
let's go Dodgers!!
wtf? i thought this game is apple tv? the Dodgers and Yankees are broadcasting their games but i dont get them on mlbtv. i live in san diego territory so only padres games get blacked out. im stuck fucking with the computer stream
that sucks spanky
teo makes a great catch off the wall in left to start b1
damn. nice grab T
yoshi out of the first giving up a double to judge
kike mics up and makes an error. way to go, kike
stupid kiki with the wire on
yamamoto's fastball apparently has more life tonight: some of his fastest pitches he's thrown all year.
yamamaoto got robbed on that pitch, it was perfect
and grisham makes the dodgers pay, single to right. yankees at the corners with two out
the apple tv announcers know that kike is rattled now, so they're not asking him as many questions. kike had better lock in. if this runner scores, he's gonna have to eat that mike.
yamamoto gets the k to end the inning. get that mic off of kike, stat
0-0 through 2
After the error, you could really see how Kiké’s mood changed. Keep the mics on outfielders.
remember when jt was mic-ed up during the postseason. somebody should have been fired for that.
torres with a one-out error, allowing kike to reach first. mookie up.
now kike gets fucking picked off first. kike, you know where you can stick that mike.
Rough night for Kiké already. Yeesh!
ohtani flies to center, ending the top of the third.
@sax...how are the stomach knots doing? i think you passed them onto me.
kiki earning that banana suit
@karen: kike is gonna make me use caps just to yell at his sorry ass
scoreless through four full
pages flirting with the wall his first 2 ab's.
i hope gonzalez still pitches like he did last season.
still 0-0 after 5.
Yoshi!!!
kiki is in the good graces now with that double
4-6-3 to end the inning, going to 8.

analytics prove dave roberts is an idiot starting taylor
derek jeter is a fucking mofo. first he says the only really good fans are in the northeast. then the mother fucker says that the only team built for the world series is new york.
i feel like i'm watching a yankee broadcast.
already nervous time in the 1st
no score after 1 inning
teo!!

yankees starter luis gil is 8-1 with a 1.82 era and 85 ks. that's over a run better in era over glasnow (2.93 era), albeit 104 ks.
@saxy...yep, roberts came through that time
i'm wondering if the whole story about soto being available friday night was a bluff. i don't think he is in the lineup today either.
let's do this!!
thats a catch for heyward
@spanky...are you prepared to hit the sauce for me if necessary?
