00:00So you've heard all you can, uh, handle about, uh, Flaherty and, you know, yesterday they

00:10started with it as velocities down.

00:13I don't know who started that.

00:14Uh, I'd, I'd hate to hear that if I was him, to be honest with you, uh, he's got Yankees.

00:22I've heard his velocity was down a little bit and I've heard that too.

00:26You know, people are going to overanalyze.

00:28We're going to analyze everything right now.

00:29And it's true.

00:30You know, he went from like 95 at one point and he was averaging about 91, uh, in his

00:35third start.

00:36But it should be noted.

00:37We've had a long time off Scott for this world series.

00:40I would throw all that stuff out.

00:42I mean, all those, you know, like we've heard this a lot and all the Dodger pitchers are

00:45worn out.

00:46They're running on fumes.

00:47Dude.

00:48They've had a long layoff.

00:49They last played on Sunday.

00:51So they've got all week to energize and recharge the arm.

00:54So I would expect Flaherty all systems go.

00:57You saw in his first start against the Mets, he was unhittable the second start.

01:02They got him.

01:03So, you know, who's going to get hit first tonight, Scott, it's going to be a home run

01:06early.

01:07We know it right.

01:08Garrett Cole is vulnerable to giving up the long ball early in baseball games.

01:12Flaherty is vulnerable to it as well.

01:14Flaherty's worst inning is generally the first inning we've seen Cole get hit early.

01:18So which team is going to be able to step up and break the nerves and break the ice?

01:24One of the reasons I like the Dodgers in this series is they have so many players,

01:28Scott, that have been there and done it before.

01:31The Yankees don't.

01:32Right.

01:33I mean, how many guys on the Yankees have won a World Series before?

01:35You know, Soto has, you know, like how many other guys?

01:41I'm thinking about the Dodgers, like Mookie Batts won with the Red Sox.

01:44He won with the Dodgers.

01:45Freddie Freeman won with the Braves.

01:46He won with the Dodgers.

01:48Kiki Hernandez.

01:49You've got Ohtani Scott won the Japanese League.

01:53Ohtani has won the World Baseball Classic.

01:56He's won everything that he's been in before.

01:58And now he's knocking on the door of his first World Series and his first playoffs.

02:03I can get deeper too.

02:04You know, like basically the Dodgers have guys that have been there and done that.

02:08To me, Garrett Cole is the key for the Yankees.

02:11If Garrett Cole pitches like an ace two times, potentially three, but let's say two times,

02:16the Yankees have a legitimate shot at doing this.

02:19Aaron Judds, we know, can he heat up a little bit?

02:22Some numbers to throw at you guys though, as far as Juan Soto.

02:26And I got a long shot pick on Yamamoto Scott to win the MVP at 125-1.

02:32Yamamoto is going to go twice in this series.

02:34They got him, you know, game two, game six.

02:37So if we get six, which we most likely will, Yamamoto pitched one time against the Yankees

02:43this year.

02:44And it was at Yankee Stadium.

02:45It was a 2-1 Dodger win.

02:48He went seven innings.

02:49He only gave up two hits and he struck out seven Yankees.

02:51All right, Yamamoto's a load if you don't know him.

02:54For the record, Soto didn't play in that game.

02:57Soto is only 3-for-18 in his career against Flaherty and Walker Bueller.

03:04So there's just, you know, there's a lot of sort of, you know, what's weird too, Aaron

03:06Judds has never faced Flaherty before in his career, neither has Stanton.

03:10There's a lot of little variables and I think advantage for the Dodger pitchers that people

03:15aren't really looking at.

03:17So I'm confident with the Dodgers pitching, Scott.

03:19It's just, who's going to be the hero, bro?

03:21Is it going to be Soto?

03:22Is it going to be Judge?

03:23Is it going to be Edmond?

03:24Is it going to be, you know, is it going to be Torres?

03:26I can't wait to see this script play out, bro.
