Speaker 3: No?

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: I gave up when because you didn't see the riding

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: on the wall right when they started to get hit

22
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: around in the fourth air. And that's all.

23
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: It took yeap for nothing, Yankees said, the socks golf

24
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: and this one.

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,000

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: going on their way back to a World Series.

27
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: There it is all right, fine, And you know, you

28
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: look at the season as a whole, right, it was

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: an exciting team.

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: I think they probably turned into one.

31
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: I think they probably beat some expectations in the end.

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: But I think fans, you know, the initial reaction here

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: is probably you know what we were a picture short.

34
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: It's a picture short. How about several pictures? Everybody get injured,

35
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: but you.

36
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: Remember the deadline. Everybody wanted Joe Ryant, right and think

37
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: about him maybe going that game last night instead. And

38
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: you know, of course they didn't have much depth. You

39
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: lose Roman Anthony, who was great, but they don't have

40
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: the bats. They're on the horses to keep the runs going.

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: This, by the way, was the first series in the

42
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: playoffs that the Red Sox lost to the Yankee since

43
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. And we know what happened the

44
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: next year, right, So it's a young team and way

45
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: till next year.

46
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: Right.

47
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: I think people are excited, but I think they need

48
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: more Red Sox.

49
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: Nation, right, And yeah, they're going to need a lot more,

50
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: I think to get to get some But they did

51
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: get experience this year, which is great for a young team,

52
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: and I think that's what manager Alex Korra will be

53
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: thinking about this offseason, agreed, Drew. Thank you. Now, there

54

55
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: in our pockets.
