00:00We'll be back in just a few minutes.

00:05Allegedly, Yamamoto against Darvish and you were on the Dodgers to get it done yesterday.

00:13Anything changed and you said that they've gone to the Mamba approach.

00:17Yeah, they have.

00:19They've got some Kobe quotes up on the wall in the clubhouse.

00:22Job's not done.

00:23I'm trying to dig into that Kobe Bryant spirit.

00:26It is Yamamoto going to be starting tonight for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

00:30There was a lot of question marks weighing on whether it was going to be Flaherty, whether

00:33it be Yamamoto.

00:35Let's be real.

00:36It's an elimination game to go to the championship series.

00:40It's going to be an all hands on deck.

00:42Who's ever available will pitch and they'll worry if they advance about Sunday.

00:47On Sunday, you know, when it comes down to it, man, it's amazing, isn't it?

00:51The impact, number one, that Japanese baseball has right now on Major League Baseball.

00:57You Darvish versus Yamamoto versus Otani and Otani's favorite player is you Darvish.

01:04Like that was his guy growing up.

01:06You Darvish.

01:07So he faces his idol.

01:09You know, Yamamoto has been hit by San Diego, man.

01:11This, you know what it reminds me a lot of, Scott?

01:14It reminds me of the game the other night when San Diego threw Dylan Cease out there.

01:18And I was like, yeah, Dylan Cease is really good, but the Dodgers hit him, right?

01:22They're locked in on him.

01:24They were once again, they just ripped them apart two times in a row.

01:29And you know, a lot of teams haven't seen Yamamoto, but Yamamoto's first game at Major

01:33League Baseball was in the Seoul Series in Korea, was against San Diego.

01:38They lit him up.

01:39Put it this way, he's pitched against San Diego three times this year.

01:42He's never given up less than three runs, Scott, against them.

01:46So you know, of all the teams, you know what I mean?

01:49If he was facing a team like the Mets or a team, you know what I mean, a team that, you

01:52know, the Brewers that don't see him, they've seen them three times already.

01:56They know his stuff.

01:58So you know, it's interesting.

02:00Yeah, that's, that's the thing, Scott.

02:02I was thinking Flaherty.

02:04My deal, if I, you know, listen, Dave Roberts pushed all the right buttons.

02:08He doesn't make the decisions either.

02:09I mean, this is a, an organizational move.

02:11You know, we all get that, but I would have started Flaherty, Scott, but he got hit too

02:16and then went to Yamamoto, but you know what it comes down to, bro?

02:20They paid Yamamoto $325 million, right?

02:24This is the reason why they paid him.

02:26I mean, yeah, he got hurt.

02:27This is it.

02:28He's got another crack at this.

02:30So it's, it's Darvish versus Yamamoto.

02:33This game's going to be decided in the first couple of innings, Scott, who's going to hit

02:36the home run first.

02:38Who's going to put the couple of runs up first and get to the pitcher.

02:40We've already seen Darvish.

02:41Yeah.

02:42We've already seen the Padres jack him in the first inning.

02:46But Darvish is vulnerable to early home runs in games as well.

02:51Darvish's numbers against the Dodgers are good.

02:52There's not a lot of Dodger players that have a good track record against Darvish.

02:57And for, you know, a lot of them haven't seen them that much, ironically enough, you know,

03:02the Dodgers are hitting like 095 against them.

03:05So there's definitely, I would say pitching advantage, sort of San Diego tonight, but

03:10we don't know.

03:11I mean, you Darvish, he's five and five in his career against the Dodgers, Scott.

03:15All right.

03:16He's five and five.

03:17Yamamoto is a freaking stud who's pitching the world baseball classic.

03:20He was the MVP of the Japanese league.

03:23He's pitching the championship there.

03:25He's pitched in big games.

03:26We'll see if he can dig down deep and get it done tonight.

03:28But I got to tell you, bro, the clock, you know, you and I are the same.

03:32There's not enough hours in the day.

03:34Time goes by quickly.

03:35I like, I want to punch people in the face.

03:37Anytime somebody tells me they're bored, life, life is too short to be bored.

03:41But man, five o'clock Pacific can't get here soon enough, Scott.

03:45It's just dragging.

03:46I just want to do this thing.
