1
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Happy Saturday, ladies and gentlemen, or Sunday if you are

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: listening to this the next day. Welcome to Massa Territory

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: brought to you by the Foul Territory Network. And well,

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I guess they've been saving the offense for the last

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: few days for today, My goodness, what an now burst

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: today fifteen runs, eighteen hits, snapping their six game losing streak,

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: improving the record to forty one and forty three, fourteen

8
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: runs in the last five games. And then fifteen today,

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: My goodness, my guess. But let's just hope this isn't

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: some kind of, you know, another one of these outbursts

11
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: where where they've had a couple of these along the way, Right,

12
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: remember Saint Louis, Remember Baltimore eighteen against Saint Louis, nineteen

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: against the Orioles, and then the offense went cold after

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: those games. Right, the offense has been cold as of late,

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: like I said, but you know they have been scoring

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: some runs without Rafi, right, you go back to the

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: Sam Franz series. They you know, did all right in

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: a couple of those games, even though they dropped too

19
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: out of three, you know, against the Angels, they were

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: putting up a fight there, and uh, you know, this

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: team can score runs. It's just a matter of being

22
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: consistent and just having good at bats. They haven't been

23
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: able to do that as of late during this losing streak.

24
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: And hey, hopefully today was a good sign. But you

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna you know, proceed with caution a

26
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: little bit. You remember this was a theme for the

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Red Sox, you know, before they got hot. There a

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: couple of series against the Yankees, the Rays series. They

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: were looking very good before the Raffie trade. But remember

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: one common theme with the Red Sox leading up to

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: that point was inconsistent inconsistencies. Right, is this another case

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: of that? Or is this a team that could be

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: finally waking up. We'll just have to wait and see.

34
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: But there was a lot of offense to talk about

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: in this one, Ladies and gentlemen, will you or bray

36
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: you great day from him? Today? He got it started,

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: had a homer in a double along the way, SETI

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: with another homer, Romy with a homer story, Anthony contributing

39
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: getting some extra base hits. Anthony with a couple of

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: doubles today, one off of a position player in the

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: eighth inning. I don't usually like the stat padding kind

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: of stats. You know, I get it right, nay, you know, hey,

43
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: you got to pitch right. But I tend not to

44
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: like those ones very much against the position players. But

45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, shout out Roman Anthony today and you're starting

46
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: to see Roman really coming through. Let me actually pull

47
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: up his updated numbers now, and now, you know, we've

48
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: talked about this in the last week or so. A

49
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: lot of hard hit balls, working counts. It's just a

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: matter of putting it together at the major league level.

51
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: And I think once he starts seeing more of these

52
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: major league caliber pitches, right pitches with more movement, more

53
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: ve low, you know, whatever, it may be, right, different angles,

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: coming from different arm slots, I think once Roman starts

55
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: just seeing these pictures a little bit more, I think

56
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time before this guy really

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: starts being, you know, a force to me. You know,

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: maybe that's getting ahead of myself a little bit this year,

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: but you could see the talent with this guy. But

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: what I liked from him today was he had a

61
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: double right in the fifth inning. This guy got jammed right.

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: It was a pitch inside and he shoots it the

63
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: other way and ends up getting a double out of it.

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: That's what you like to see from good hitters, right

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: and well you usually will see that from these good

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: hitters right where. You know, no matter where that pitch

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: is in the strike zone, they can do something with it, right.

68
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: You saw that today with Roman Anthey, you're seeing these

69
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: little signs as we go further along, and I think

70
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Roman he's getting close now. The updated numbers still not great, right,

71
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: six thirty four ops, But that's been climbing here. Let's

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: see if he can keep going for him and Lucas

73
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: Giolito today. Lucas Giolito today, well, more than enough support

74
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: for Geo. But this man was cooking on the day. Man,

75
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: he's looked great in his last four outings. You know,

76
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: he had that bumpy start at the beginning of the

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: month in June. But since then, I think this guy

78
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: looked in the mirror and he's like, all right, I

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: gotta put fooling around out here. I gotta start doing

80
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: what works for me. And this guy's been great last

81
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: four starts, twenty five innings, pitched two earned runs. That

82
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: is an era of zero point seven to two. Like

83
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I said with Gi Alito. Right, I'll get into it

84
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: as we you know, break down his outing. But he's really,

85
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: in my opinion, just kept things very simple, not trying

86
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: to do too much. Right. His velo's been looking all right.

87
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: Off speed, stuff's looking right, breaking stuff's looking alright. It's

88
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: all about location with him a right, moving up and

89
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: down to the zone, changing eye levels, and that's really

90
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: it with Gilito. He's not gonna be a Garare Crochet

91
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: where he's gonna be able to overpower you, you know,

92
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: with v Lo from the left side and you know

93
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: nasty cutters and sinkers and you know sweepers to go

94
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: along with it. You know, Gei Alito, he's really just

95
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna be working off of a few pitches, but he's

96
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: doing it very well. So really like what we saw

97
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: today from Geolido. Sure, you know it was more than

98
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: enough run support, but hey, he kept it going. And

99
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, the last couple of turns through the rotation,

100
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: you've been wanting to see another guy besides Crochet step

101
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: up here. You know you saw you know, Bao wasn't

102
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: at his best. You know, like I said yesterday, BeO,

103
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 1: he wasn't at his best, right, He gave him eight hits.

104
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: You only struck out one guy a few walks along

105
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: the way, you know. But the encouraging thing about that

106
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: outing from Bao was, you know, he was able to

107
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: still get through six innings even though it was bumpy.

108
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: You know, but this is what you like to see.

109
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: They've been needing someone else to really turn in some

110
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: consistent outings, and Gielito is that guy. Right now. I

111
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: still think the Red Sox he'd go out there and

112
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: try and at a guy. You know, we talked about

113
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: this last night, and listen, you know, I said it yesterday.

114
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: I feel like what the Red Sox are gonna end

115
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: up doing. You know. You know, it's weird to say

116
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: they're forty one and forty three, two games under five

117
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: hungured here, but I really think, you know, as long

118
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: as they stay close within that wild card hunt, I

119
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: think this is a team that they're gonna be kind

120
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: of doing this sort of soft buy soft sell kind

121
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: of a thing, or just a good solid mix of

122
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: buying and selling, you know, trying to get rid of

123
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: some guys that might not be good fits here in

124
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: Boston and bringing in some other guys that could help

125
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: upgrade the team. You know, and maybe going after an

126
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: everyday option at first base. No disrespect to Rome Gonzalez,

127
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: he was pretty solid here today, but you know, getting

128
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: in every day option, I think it ended up being

129
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: a good thing for the Red Sox, just to give

130
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: them someone to write into the lineup every single day.

131
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking about this. I was like,

132
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else is feeling like this,

133
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: But you know, looking back at lineups two thousand and three,

134
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: two thousand and four, five, you know, oh six, even right,

135
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: you go back to the days of Manny and Poppy.

136
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: I miss the days where you weren't worrying so much

137
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: about platoons, right where you can just write these guys

138
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: into the lineup every single day, maybe get you know,

139
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: one or two platoon guys in there, you know, like

140
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: someone to go up against some lefties. But that was

141
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: really it, you know. I miss those days. I don't

142
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: know if anyone else misses those days, let me know

143
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: in the comments if you miss those days of just

144
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: having an everyday lineup and then maybe a couple of

145
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: changes along the way. But that's what I would like

146
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox to do. Even though they scored

147
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: fifteen runs today. You know, still I want the lineup

148
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: to be, you know, just a bit more consistent, especially

149
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: when they get Bregman and Massa back. You know, I

150
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: think in everyday first first base option will be a

151
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: good thing. And then you could have someone like Romy

152
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: going up against lefties and then Toro, you know, maybe

153
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: could be just a guy coming off the bench. But

154
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: I see you in the chat, Marco Scuterro. Roman's hard

155
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: hit balls are finally starting to I love to see it.

156
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: You know, Listen, there's a difference with a guy that

157
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: comes up from the minor leagues when he's consistently having

158
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: hard hit balls against the guy that you know, maybe

159
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: gets a couple along the way. But Roman, if you

160
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: just watch him up there. That's why I'm like tired

161
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: of these comments that you know, oh, I thought Roman

162
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: was supposed to be, you know, this next best thing.

163
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: He's hitting. He's hitting like one fifty one. It's like

164
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: you get you know, these people just don't watch the games, right,

165
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: they don't watch the at bats. They just go to

166
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: the box score after. But when you watch Roman, he

167
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: is different. It's just the way he approaches the at bats.

168
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: And it's again I think it's only a matter of

169
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: time before this guy just starts going off right. I

170
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: mean you still you saw a little bit here today,

171
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: you know, sure double late in the game off of

172
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: a position player, but whatever, Roman, I think he's looking

173
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: very good. I'm happy to see what he's been able

174
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: to do so far. Do I have anything else here

175
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: for the intro? I think that's all I got for

176
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: the intro. We're starting to in here to the outburst

177
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: for today, how that ended up happening. We'll go in

178
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: e x Alito a little bit, and then we got

179
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: a couple of other news to talk about, and we'll

180
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: do a game to preview as well. But everybody really quick.

181
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: We do have a word from our sponsor. I'll be

182
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: right back.

Speaker 2: Krats real talk. I do not carry cash around me,

184

Speaker 3: always available.

189
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my credit card is not working, or oh

190
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: I didn't bring cash with me, There's no more alligator arms.

Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to the offense, shall we. And my

204
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: player of the game today is will you'r a bray

205
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: you to me? Will you or bray You're getting it

206
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 1: started today? Really took pressure off of everything. You almost

207
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: felt this bit of a pressure almost with just the

208
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: fans today right in attendance at the game. You just

209
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: felt just something heavy in the room. You know, obviously

210
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: the big loss last night, six game losing streak obviously, right,

211
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: but you felt it. And will you're coming through with

212
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: the home run today to start things off here in

213
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: the first inning I thought was huge, and especially after

214
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: a couple of outs there you know, Jared Durant striking

215
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: out and then Roman grounding out, you know, but then

216
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: Toro Norvey coming through the base hits will your Bray

217
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: with a shot to make it three to nothing. He's

218
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: been very good as of late in his last seven games,

219
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: hitting over three hundred ops right around eight point fifty.

220
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: Really liking will your Bray you as of late. And

221
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: you know this is a guy that you know, especially

222
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: until Bregman Massa comeback, you need someone like will You're

223
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: to really start coming through here, right, These are the

224
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: spots that you need to brew you to come through,

225
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: especially with no more Raffie. They did load the bases

226
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: again in the first inning, but Seti grounding out on

227
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: the first pitch. Of course Seti swinging on the first pitch.

228
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: It was a pitch right down the middle. So I'm

229
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: not going to get mad at him for it. But

230
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: that's okay because they scored a lot more runs after

231
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: that second inning. Roman had the bass hit one hundred

232
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: and eight miles per hour off the bat. Will You're

233
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: coming up yet again with a double, made it four nothing.

234
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Trevor Story with himself a good game here today, made

235
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: it six to nothing. Third inning, they'd loaded the bases

236
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: once again. Holy cow, Chris Bassett, What an off day

237
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: for him? Blue Jays fans. I don't know if you're

238
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: here with me in the chat today, but wow, Chris Bassett,

239
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: what the heck was going on with him today? And

240
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: I was talking about this yesterday in the game two

241
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: preview where Bassett, this is a guy that pounds on

242
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: the zone. He's gonna throw a lot of strikes, He's

243
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna have a good tempo. I think the Red Sox

244
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: they just went to town. They attacked right, they were

245
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: just swinging the bats, and I think they kind of said,

246
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: all right, well he likes to throw a lot of strikes,

247
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: Well we're gonna swing in a lot of those strikes.

248
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: So I think that's really just what it was here today.

249
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: But Bassett, he's always had just some you know, pretty

250
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: solid outings against the Red Sox. So kind of weird,

251
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: just an anomaly here today for Bassett. Butt load of

252
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: the bases. So Guard Duran with the walk, Setti with

253
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: the base hit, and then Toro walking in a run

254
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,599
Speaker 1: that made a seven to one. Uh Narvas with a

255
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: sack Fly made it eight to one. Toro, he stole

256
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: second Kirk with a throwing error, ended up scoring. Roman

257
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: made it nine to one, six ending Story with another

258
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: double so guard base hit made it ten to one.

259
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: Seti with a home run. How many home runs is

260
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: that for Seti? Now, let's go check on that. I

261
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: believe that is his ninth home run. That is number

262
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: nine for Seti on the year. Hey, Seti, man, you

263
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: know this is all we want from him. We all

264
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: know the glove, we all know the speed that he

265
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: has as well the energy that he brings to me.

266
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: If this guy can just give you a seven to

267
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: seven fifty oho ps give you a couple of dingers

268
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: along the way, I'm okay with that. That's all I need.

269
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: It's all I need from Seti Man. Really happy with

270
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: the year that he's having up to this point. I

271
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: did a video on the main channel not too long ago,

272
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: the most underrated player on each team. You know, obviously

273
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: us Red Sox fans, we know how solid he's been,

274
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: But I wonder how many people around Major League Baseball

275
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: actually know, you know, just how solid he has been

276
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: for the team. Right If you go look at the

277
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: advanced metrics for guys like Pete kral Armstrong, pretty similar

278
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: in some areas. So it's nice to see Seti coming

279
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: through eighth inning, role me with a two run home run. Right,

280
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: you just kept on adding on at that point you

281
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: got a fifteenth run in the end. Good day, good

282
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: day for the offense. But let's get to Lucas Gildo.

283
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: What were the keys for him today? Now? With Gioledo

284
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: seven innings, five hits, one earned, five strikeouts, that is

285
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: not Lucas Gildo. Where is Lucas Giolito? My goodness, why

286
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: do we have to keep having all these mistakes. There's

287
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: Lucas Gilito. There we go. But same old formula. Like

288
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: I said in the intro, pound of the zone, fastballs up, off,

289
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: speed down, he went, sliders in on Righty's a lot today,

290
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: went away on a couple of them as well. Just

291
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: a very good day. I mean, like I said, it's

292
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: a very simple approach with him. He's just gonna pound

293
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: the zone. He was in the strike zone I believe

294
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: around what was it like fifty five percent of the

295
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: time today, just mixing and matching. Man, Just the old,

296
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: good old, classic, old school way of pitching. Right. Gotta

297
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: love it. And what I think was a big key

298
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: for Gilito today as well, Like I said, with Willyer,

299
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: helping the offense get off to a good start, just

300
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: kind of relieving that pressure to start things off. But

301
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: I think Gilito that twelve pitch first inning was a

302
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: key for him, right Blue Jays having a big night

303
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: last night. I think Gilito just coming in and setting

304
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: the tone, getting himself off to a good start, giving

305
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: himself some good momentum for the rest for the rest

306
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: of the innings here today, Gilido, Man, that's all you

307
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: could have asked for. Also today for the bullpen, Chris

308
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: Murphy coming back from Tommy John Chris Murphy, Casey forgot

309
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: who that is well first outing since September of twenty

310
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: twenty three, he was in the Red Sox Top thirty prospects.

311
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty three, he was fifteenth overall on Pipeline.

312
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: I believe he was eighteenth on Fangrafts, and I think

313
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: he was also in that right around that area as

314
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: well on Baseball America. You know, he's a solid, you know,

315
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: left handed pitching prospect, a guy that's gonna give you

316
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: some okav low good off speed stuff. I believe Fangrafts

317
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: they gave him a sixty grade on the change up.

318
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: I believe Pipeline gave it a fifty five. I think

319
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: Baseball America was right around there too. But a guy

320
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: that you know obviously, and he was picturing pretty well

321
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: when he came up to the Red Sox. He had

322
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: a pretty good strikeout to walk ratio Elray in twenty

323
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: twenty three. I think it was right around forty five

324
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: to fifty innings piched. I don't remember the number off

325
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: the top of my head. I think it was forty

326
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: seven in a third. Someone go check that for me.

327
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Is that the right number? Forty seven and a third

328
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: innings picked. I'm gonna give myself a reward of a

329
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: donut if I got that number right. I think that's

330
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: the number. But with Murphy, he had a good r

331
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: He had a good not a great Elray in twenty three,

332
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: but the FIP looked a lot better. So a guy

333
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: where he was getting a good amount of strikeouts, he's

334
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: keeping the walks down for the most part. So hy

335
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: Chris Murphy. Nice to see him back. He wasn't pitching

336
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: great in the minor leagues. If you go look at

337
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: his stats for this year down at triple A. You

338
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: might be thinking to yourself, why the heck is this

339
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: guy even up with the Red Sox right now? Is

340
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: Elra I believe was like near ten or something like that,

341
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: But I think it was just him just working on

342
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: some stuff. But let's see. You know how long he

343
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: ends up sticking around. I'm not sure. But that's pretty

344
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: much it for the game today, ladies and gentlemen. You know,

345
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: pretty straightforward, a lot of runs in good pitching gives

346
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: you a pretty quick show for the day here today.

347
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: But we do have a Game two preview. I don't

348
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: know why that's not in the rundown on the side. Again,

349
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm making mistakes here, ladies. What can I do? Before

350
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: we do get to the game two preview, we will

351
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: go over some roster news as well a couple of

352
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: things to touch on before we wrap things up. But

353
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: before we get to those, one more word from our sponsor.

Speaker 2: code foul.

370
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to it here, shall we. Now we

371
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: did touch on some things yesterday when it came to

372
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: the injury report. But Massa today was running the bases

373
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: yet again. And uh, the man has quite the running ability.

374
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: If you have not seen Massataka Yoshita run before, it's

375
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: always a street, please go watch it. It's perfect form.

376
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: It looks amazing. I wish I could run like Massataka Yoshida.

377
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: But he did run the bases again today, Bregman, he

378
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: was doing some stuff here today. You know, these guys

379
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: are on track. Looks like they're feeling good. I think

380
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: they're just at a point right now where they're just

381
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: trying not to push things too much, right, just trying

382
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: to keep it, you know, keep the progress steady because

383
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 1: work themselves back. Like I said last night, this is

384
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: a team that I think is very focused on the

385
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: second half. You know, you look at Korra in the

386
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: post game. You look at Korra in the post game today,

387
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: and you know Cora the way he's always been, you know,

388
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: have a couple of little outbursts with the umpires, but

389
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: he's always a pretty mellow guy, keeps things pretty low

390
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: key for the most part. But you know, you're saying today,

391
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: you know, these guys aren't panicking, They're they're not stressing out,

392
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, and even after a six game losing streak,

393
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: they're still trying to keep things in check. And I

394
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: was saying last night, I think there's a lot of

395
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: similarities to the Detroit tie from last year. A team

396
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: that had talent, a team that last year. I picked

397
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: that Tigers team to win the division because I'm looking

398
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: at that team and I'm seeing everyone else like picking

399
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: the Guardians and the Twins, and I'm looking at that

400
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: Tigers team and I'm thinking, I'm like, why is no

401
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: one picking this Tigers team. It's a good team, right,

402
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean Scooble. I was banking on him having a

403
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: great year because the year prior when he came back

404
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: from Tommy John, he was looking really good and I

405
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: was thinking, Okay, he's just gonna build upon that. And

406
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: then he ended up having a sigh, young season something

407
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: and you got Schooble, Right, they had Flaherty, and I'm

408
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: looking at guys in the lineup. I'm like, all right,

409
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: you know, you got some solid bats throughout this lineup,

410
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: guys that can do some things. You had some arms

411
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: in the bullpen. I'm thinking, like, man, this Tiger's team

412
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: could be good. And then they underperformed in the first

413
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: half and they're just couldn't find their way, and you're thinking,

414
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: what is going on with this team? And they ended

415
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: up selling They traded away Flarity. They got back Trey

416
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: Sweeney in that deal, who ended up helping them out

417
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: in the second half, and everyone just started to click. Right.

418
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: They you know, maybe switched up a couple of things.

419
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: They still were getting some great pitching from school bl

420
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: guys are stepping up with the pitching staff. They had

421
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: the chaos pitching staff where guys in the bullpen were

422
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: opening games, right, They won with just this non traditional approach,

423
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: and here they were one went away from the Alcs,

424
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: and I feel like you see that at least some

425
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: things with this Red Sox team. You got an ace,

426
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: you got talent, you got guys that can do things right.

427
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: And then you know you're gonna get Bregman back here

428
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: soon after the All Star break, MASA. He's going on

429
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: a rehab assignment next week. I mean, I don't know, man,

430
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: I just see a lot. I see a lot of

431
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: that Detroit Tiger's team here. Uh, maybe not exactly the

432
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: same exact thing, but I see a lot of it.

433
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: We'll see see how it goes. But uh, Yoshida again

434
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: running the bases today, Bregman taking some grounders today, taking

435
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: more steps forward. So let's get to also Justin Slayton.

436
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: I think Cora talked about Slayton here today. I think

437
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: he was on here. Oh, Luis Guerrero, I knew I

438
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: was missing someone. Luis s. Guerrero going on the I

439
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: l with a right elbow strain. He did pitch last night.

440
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: I give up a couple of runs. It didn't look amazing.

441
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: I guess something was bugging the man. And well he's

442
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: on the il right elbow strain. So, but Justin Slayton.

443
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: They talked about Slayton here today. He's playing some catch

444
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: right now. I talked about this yesterday. I'm thinking to myself, man, oh,

445
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: Slayton's probably gonna be coming back soon. And then I

446
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: go to look at the update, I'm thinking, this guy,

447
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: is he even throwing any bullpens or anything yet? What

448
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: the heck's going on? So Slayton is moving along a

449
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: little slower than expected. Hopefully that ends up not being

450
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: anything crazy. You know, Shoulder, you always got to watch

451
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: out with that man. I always got to watch out.

452
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: But I'm guessing, I mean obviously got the All Star

453
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: break coming up. We'll see. Hopefully he's back by August.

454
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: I think that's probably gonna be a good time frame

455
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: for him to come back. I don't think they're gonna

456
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: rush him. I think they would like to have him

457
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: for the last couple of months. I'm gonna thank August

458
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: for Justin Slayton as well. Also, Jordan Hicks. I talked

459
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: about this last night. He did make a rehab appearance

460
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: for Worcester, scoreless inning, touching one hundred a couple of times.

461
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Jordan Hicks to get back to this roster. Now,

462
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: let's get to the post game breakdown here, let's get

463
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: to the post game breakdown or not the postgame breakdown.

464
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: What my brain is not working? Potato brain moment, the

465
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: game three preview, Game three preview, and let me give

466
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: you my breakdown for that, Walker Buehler, this is a

467
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: big start for Walker Buller here tomorrow. I think his

468
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: job could be on the line in this start. I

469
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: really think that. I'm not even trying to be dramatic here,

470
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: but but uh, I think at least his next turn

471
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: in the rotation is on the line here, Bueller. In

472
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: my opinion, I think he written. I mean, honestly, take

473
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: a page out of Giolito's book, Keep things simple. Go

474
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: with a few pitches, keep it simple. Man. This is

475
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: a guy, if you if you go look at his

476
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: outings every single time, the guy's throwing like seven different pictures.

477
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: I say, just stick with a few. Focus on quality

478
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: instead of quantity. I mean, who knows what the reasoning

479
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: is for that?

480
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: You know?

481
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: Is it like a feel kind of a thing. Is

482
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: it sort of just trying to figure out what's working

483
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: what's not. I think when you look at the numbers.

484
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: When you look at the numbers with Walker Bueller, he

485
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: needs to lean with the sinker, all right. That's his

486
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: best pitch so far on the year. He's got a

487
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: six run value. Batter's early hitting one to sixty against it.

488
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: He's got some decent movement on it, you know, has

489
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: some nice tail to it. I say, stick with the sinker, man,

490
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: That's what I think he needs to do. Pound the

491
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: zone with those, get some ground balls, mix in some

492
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: cutters along the way. That hasn't been a great picture him.

493
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: Batters are hitting four hungred against it. But I think

494
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: if you can mix it in along the way, just

495
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: locate it right, go inside, go on the outside corners.

496
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: Don't leave this meatball cutter right over the play. But

497
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: I think it's okay to mix some in. Mix in

498
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: a couple of four seemers as well. That's been a

499
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: terrible picture for him this year, slugging eight sixty eight

500
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: against it. But if you want to mix in a

501
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: couple of fastballs just to kind of change pace, change

502
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: eye levels a little bit, I think it's fine. But

503
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: don't leave these pictures right over the zone. Right if

504
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: you want to attack the zone, go with the sinker

505
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: and then just stick with the breaking pictures as you're

506
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: out pictures right, the slider, it's been a decent picture

507
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: him this year. I mean, it's not a great putaway pitch.

508
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: You know, he's got the sweeper as well. I think

509
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: really with him, I think he needs to really just

510
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: focus on let the defense do the work behind him.

511
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: Man be confident throwing in the zone. I think that's

512
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: gonna be the big key with Buehler here moving forward.

513
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: The problem with Bueller is he just doesn't have really

514
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: a good out pitch at this point. The fastball is

515
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: not really doing anything for him. I think you kind

516
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: of need to start relying on the defense a little

517
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: bit more. We'll see how this goes here tomorrow. Well,

518
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: but I think his job is on the line with

519
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: this one. I don't think you can give the ball

520
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: to Walker Bueller anymore if he has a bad outing. So,

521
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: and that's a good point, Austin, if you can just

522
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: get past the first inning, he'll be okay. I think

523
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: so too, right. I mean, if you go back to

524
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: the first inning. In the last couple of outings here,

525
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: he's been pretty terrible, right, try and get off to

526
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: a good start, throw strikes. I think that's gonna be

527
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: the key. But nesson, viewers, I am going to wrap

528
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 1: it up right there. I'm going to finish the preview

529
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: here over on YouTube. If you want to see the rest,

530
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: come on over to Monster Territory and come catch it.

531
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: But Neston viewers will be better tomorrow for the series

532
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: finale postgame recap. But all right, let's get to it here.

533
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: We got Eric Lower going for the Milwaukee Brewers. Again,

534
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: my potato brain is not working right now. The Toronto

535
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: Blue Jays Eric Lawer, he has had success this sear

536
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: He's been doing a little bit of both bullpen rotation.

537
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: Two point two to one elra on the year. Let

538
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: me actually pull up all the numbers here. He's got

539
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 1: a three point eighty five on the FIP. A guy

540
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna work in a lot of fastballs from the

541
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: left side. He's gonna work in some cutters. He's gonna

542
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: work in some change ups as well, some sliders. So

543
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: Eric Lower, he's found a lot of success so far

544
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: this year. But if we're taking a look a little

545
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: closer with Lower, if we take a look at the

546
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: location on his pictures, he's going to live more up

547
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: in the zone with the four seemer, he's gonna go

548
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: up in the zone a lot. With the cutter curve balls,

549
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: he's going to go down sliders. Tends to hang those

550
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think that could be a key

551
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: pitch to look for tomorrow. See if you find yourself

552
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: a nice slider to a tee off on and the

553
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: change ups, he's going down and away from lefties down

554
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: at it and I'm righties, so but yeah, fastball, I mean,

555
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: that's what a lot of the guys are doing now

556
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 1: these days, right, I mean, you're seeing it with gi Alito.

557
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: They're going up in the zone with his fastball, all right,

558
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: going up with the cutter as well. Now, if we

559
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: take a look here at the breakdown against these pitches,

560
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: the one pitch that has not fared very well for

561
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: him is the cutter two seventy three batting average against

562
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: the cutter this year, four fifty five on the slugging

563
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: and expected slugging of five fifty five. So that could

564
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: be a pitch to be looking out for here tomorrow.

565
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: If you can leave one over the play lets it

566
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: leak a little bit. That's something you got a tee

567
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: off on all right now, if you're taking a look here,

568
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: change up that has I mean, he doesn't throw a

569
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: ton of change ups. When it comes to his change up.

570
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw it more against the righties. So let's

571
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: see if you can, right, Let's see if some of

572
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: these righty bats like Trevor Story can maybe come through.

573
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: We'll see. But it's gonna be an interesting one. Lowry's

574
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: had success. Hey, they figured out Chris Bassett today and

575
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: that's been a tough assignment for the Red Sox over

576
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: the years. So but everybody, we're gonna wrap it up

577
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: right there. We're gonna wrap it up right there. Hey,

578
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: a good one here today, good one here today, and uh,

579
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: let's see if they can continue. But we do have

580
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: a super chat here, Brandon Patterson for ninety nine. Any chance,

581
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: let me pull this up on the screen here. Thank

582
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: you for that, my friend. I do appreciate that. Let

583
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: me pull up the super chat here. Here we go,

584
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Patterson. Any chance they trade Rafaela over Durant? And

585
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: do you think Hicks could take the road takeover in

586
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: the rotation for Bueller. No, I'm gonna say no to

587
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: both of those. I don't think Rafael is going anywhere,

588
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: you know. Coming into the season, I was, you know,

589
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: the first month or so, I was wondering if SETI

590
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: could be a guy that you moved because I was

591
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: thinking other teams would really value his defense, right, and

592
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: then obviously still very young, so you know, I'm thinking

593
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: maybe teams could try to get a little bit more

594
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: out of the bat with him. But then I also thought,

595
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 1: from the Red Sox point of view, you know, this

596
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: is the reason why they would want to hang on

597
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: to him, right, When you have good up the middle defense, centerfield,

598
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: short stop, second base catcher, you want to hang onto

599
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: those guys, right. That's suction underrated aspect of a team.

600
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people these days forget about

601
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: defense at the end of the day. Yeah, sure, you

602
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: know you got to score runs. But how many times

603
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: have we seen this year where the runs allowed department

604
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: has not come through? And a lot of that a

605
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: lot of those times hasn't been because of the pitching.

606
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: A lot of those times has been because of defense, right,

607
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 1: So you need to keep those good defensive players, in

608
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: my opinion, So then I started thinking, Okay, Duran a

609
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: bray you I was actually leaning more towards a bray.

610
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: You what the way, I always try to, at least

611
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: at first, right. I always try to think when it

612
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: comes to trades, and I think this is a I

613
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: don't want to say it's a problem that most people have,

614
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: but I do notice it pretty consistently when people are

615
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: thinking of true, not all people, I don't want to

616
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: generalize it, but for the most part I notice this.

617
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: People will think of trades. We need to go get

618
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: that guy. We need to go get that guy. This guy,

619
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: we got to get him, right, We've got to make

620
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: a trade for this starting picture, add him to the rotation.

621
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: But what I don't see a lot is people asking,

622
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: or is people saying, will would the other team give

623
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: up that player? Or are we a good trade partner

624
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: with that team? Does that team have what we're looking for? Right?

625
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: It's easy to say we need to go trade for

626
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: Freddie Peralta on the Brewers, right, but do we have

627
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: the pieces that the Brewers want necessarily? And if we do,

628
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: you know what is it going to take? Takes two

629
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: to tango. Got to have the other team going for

630
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: you know what you're looking to do too, right, it's

631
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: got to help them. That's the whole point of a trade.

632
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: It's got to help both sides. So getting back to Willyer,

633
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, well, teams probably might value

634
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: will Yer right over someone like Duran because he has

635
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: more upside and he's got more years of control, and

636
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: he's cheaper. So I could see teams thinking, well, they're

637
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: gonna want will Yer. But then you know, as we

638
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 1: went along and the Red Sox are still trying to

639
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: find success consistently with the offense. Well, if you're looking

640
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: at Duran and will Youer, you know, Duran, sure the speed,

641
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: that's very nice to have, but the Red Sox are

642
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: two games under five Hungredy right now, So is that

643
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: really gonna do much for you? I mean, or could

644
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: you go in a different route moving forward? So that's

645
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: where I start to think Duran he's kind of almost

646
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: like that. He's a nice fallback option in my opinion,

647
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: to will Your when you're looking at the whole package

648
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: years of control, how much are you paying him? Right?

649
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: I look at Duran where he's got three years of control. Sure,

650
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: he's getting a little bit more in arbitration right now,

651
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: and there's teams out there where I think his skill

652
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: set could really benefit them. It's been inconsistent with the

653
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,959
Speaker 1: Red Sox up to this point, where I actually do

654
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: think at this point the Red Sox they could move him,

655
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: and you know, then you go with an outfield of

656
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: Roman Will, you're in SETI and I think you're still

657
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: good to go, you know. I mean, sure, you're going

658
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: to have to figure out the leadoff spot, but I

659
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: think you got guys that could potentially move into that spot,

660
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,479
Speaker 1: especially if they can get another bat. Especially if they

661
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: can do that. That's kind of where I'm at with that.

662
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: I do think Raphael is not going anywhere. I think

663
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna come down my opinion. I think it's gonna

664
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: be Duran. I really do. I just think, you know,

665
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: his numbers are down from last year, but that doesn't

666
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that's necessarily going to turn other teams

667
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: away from him. I think that's it's just more of

668
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: a what's gonna be the best fit for the Red

669
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: Sox now? And I think moving on without Duran, you know, yeah,

670
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: I would stink, but I think they would be fine

671
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: without him. I could be very wrong about that. I

672
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Duran, I really do. But as

673
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: to the other question you had, Jordan Hicks. No, I

674
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: think they're gonna want to keep him in the bullpen.

675
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: That is uh that to me. I've when they first

676
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: when the Giants first signed Jordan Hicks and they said

677
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: he was gonna be another rotation, I was like, Okay,

678
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: all right, let's see how this goes. Right, It's always

679
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: worth trying, you know. You think of Garrett Whitlock, that

680
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: didn't work out. It's it's worked out with guys over

681
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,720
Speaker 1: the years. You have seen it. But with Jordan Hicks,

682
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: they tried it out. He was inconsistent, and to me,

683
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: I think it's best for him to just stay in

684
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: the bullpen. And Craig Breslow, he's already said they pretty

685
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: much see him as a high leverage reliever and that

686
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: could be huge if and I see you in the chat, George,

687
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: thank you. Yes, justin Slayton was moved to the sixty

688
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: day I l so if Slayton's going to be taking

689
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: a while to get back, then Hicks could be that

690
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: guy to step into It is going to be that

691
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: guy to step into the role, right, So we'll see,

692
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: we'll see. But yeah, what was another thing I wanted

693
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: to touch on here there was another what was it? Uh,

694
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: I can't I'm going blank. Oh, I don't know what

695
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: it was. I saw a lot of people today talking

696
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: about the raffie trade, right and the timing of it.

697
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people do And this kind

698
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: of ties into what I was saying here with you know,

699
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: Willier and Duran and you know what other teams would

700
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,760
Speaker 1: prefer and you know what the Red Sox would prefer

701
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: to do and whatnot. But I think with the Raffi trade,

702
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people talking about this. Why

703
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: didn't they wait to trade Raffi? Why did they wait?

704
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: Or why did they do it so soon? Why didn't

705
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: they wait until closer to the deadline? I think you know.

706
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: To me, that's where it kind of comes in again.

707
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: It takes two to tango. If the Giants wanted to

708
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: get a deal done at the end of the day,

709
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: if you want to trade a guy and another team

710
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 1: they would like to have him. But a lot of

711
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 1: the times teams they'll put a deadline on things. They'd

712
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: be like, hey, we want to get this done by

713
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: this time. We want to get this done, but you know,

714
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: hopefully before the end of the month or whatever they

715
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: want to get their shopping done a little early, you know,

716
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: And so for the Giants with what they were offering. Again,

717
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, people can look at the return package for

718
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: the Red Sox and say, oh, that's a little underwhelming,

719
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: but again you have to factor in the money that

720
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: that is such a big thing that I think I

721
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: don't want to say people don't realize it, but I

722
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't. Unders don't fully recognize

723
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: the weight of a contract when you're paying hundreds of

724
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: millions and dollars to a guy that has a lot

725
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: of weight to it at the end of the day.

726
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: You know, yes, we could all sit here and make

727
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: moves like we're playing MLB the show, but these are businesses, right,

728
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: These are organizations that are you know, looking very heavily

729
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: at payroll, right. And to me, when the Red Sox

730
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: were getting a former top twenty five prospect in Kyle

731
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: Harrison just from a couple of years ago, and you're

732
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: getting a decent one with Jordan Hicks in the first

733
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:06,479
Speaker 1: round pick and James Tibbs from last year, you might

734
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: not have had a better a better package than that.

735
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: You know, I saw someone else today. I'm not going

736
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: to say any names, but I saw someone else today, oh, well,

737
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: why didn't you check out, you know, the other teams

738
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: out there that could have that could have made a

739
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: trade for him. Well, they did, right, And I was

740
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: told personally by that right there were definitely a couple

741
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: other teams that were in the mix, right, And it

742
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: was reported by other guys, by other reporters out there,

743
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: they took over a month to move this guy. And

744
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: I am pretty sure the Red Sox when it came

745
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: to trading a star player like that and understanding the

746
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 1: magnitude of that kind of a move, of what the

747
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: reaction would be from the fan base, I am pretty

748
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,280
Speaker 1: sure they took their time. And I saw people today

749
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: just saying like they should have they should have waited more.

750
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: Do you honestly think if they could have, would they

751
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: have if they thought they would have had a better offer.

752
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: Don't you think they would have? I think I would have.

753
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: I mean, if they didn't, then shame on them. But

754
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: I think that was the best they were gonna get

755
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: in that trade, not for the player, but for the

756
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: player and the contract. The contract is such a big deal.

757
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: It's a huge deal, and to have a team be

758
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: willing to take that on, and I think that was

759
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 1: a big part of it too, where other teams were interested.

760
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: The Braves I believe were in the mix. Reportedly, I

761
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 1: think the Blue Jays they made a phone call. There's

762
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: another team I'm going blank on, but I was told

763
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: personally one team out there wanted the Red Sox to

764
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: eat a good amount of the money. So for the

765
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: Red Sox, to me, if they saw an opportunity to

766
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: be able to just get rid of the entire thing

767
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: and just wipe their hands clean, clean slate while getting

768
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: pretty solid a talent back in return, let's see if

769
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: any of it pans out. But I think for the

770
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: Red Sox, the fact that they didn't have to pay

771
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: any of the contract and now they can use those

772
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: funds for other players out there, just like the Red

773
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: Sox did in twenty thirteen bringing in a whole bunch

774
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: of guys that led to a World Series. I mean,

775
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, like that's kind of the way I'm

776
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: looking at it, right. To me, I think it was.

777
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: I think I don't think there was going to be

778
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: another I don't think there was going to be a

779
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: better offer, right and then people, this is where I

780
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: could see the Red Sox where you could argue against

781
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: the Red Sox right when it came to the timing

782
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: of the deal. Someone else told me today on Twitter saying, well,

783
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they should have had a backup plan

784
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: that I think that's definitely a conversation, right, Could the

785
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox have had another move lined up? But then again,

786
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: that's difficult because while the Giants were willing to again,

787
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: they were aggressive taking on the contract and you know,

788
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: willing to get it done early, right before they started

789
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: thinking about other things as well. That's another thing I

790
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 1: forgot to mention too. These things are very fluid, right

791
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: once the calendar, Once the day on a calendar turns

792
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: for a major League Baseball team, all plans could be

793
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: out the window and you might have to change course completely. Right,

794
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 1: So the fact that you had an opportunity at hand,

795
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox they just thought, all right,

796
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna get better than this. We

797
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: got to get this done now, And the Giants were

798
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 1: willing to do that. So forgot where I was going

799
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: with that. But I went blank on that, thinking of

800
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: a lot like a million different things at once here.

801
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: But I just think the timing of it. I think

802
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: it pretty much had to have been then when it happened. Oh,

803
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: I was talking about contingency plans, right, having a backup

804
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,399
Speaker 1: plan bringing someone else in. But that's tough because while

805
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,879
Speaker 1: the Giants were willing to make the move at the time,

806
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: other teams usually are not really you know, picking up

807
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: the phone. As much as they are getting closer to

808
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: the deadline, right, they're still waiting. Teams are still in contention. Right,

809
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: they're figuring out where they're at in the wildcard standings

810
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: in the division, right, they're still far away. The Giants

811
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 1: were an interesting case because they were willing to take

812
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: on a big contract that early. They had the payroll

813
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: flexibility to do it, you know, so it's kind of

814
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 1: hard where Yeah, it'd be nice to the Red Sox

815
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: to bring in another bat to replace Raffi in the lineup,

816
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: like say, like when the Red Sox traded Manny and

817
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: then they brought back Jason Bay. Well, yeah, I mean

818
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: that just worked out. That was then, right, Yeah, that

819
00:42:56,040 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: worked out. At this point, probably they couldn't do that,

820
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: and they thought to themselves, Okay, well, this will be

821
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: a good chance to start getting Rollmans and at bats,

822
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: and we'll try and get a bat a little closer

823
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: to the deadline. Again, Like I understand people's concern about things,

824
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: and I understand like, oh, why not this? Why not that?

825
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: Why not this? There's a lot of things we don't know,

826
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of the times we need

827
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: to stop acting like we're just experts because we really

828
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: don't know what the heck is going on. We have

829
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: no idea. I'm not going to sit here and act

830
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,400
Speaker 1: like I know everything. Well, why didn't you do this?

831
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: Why didn't the Red Sox make this other move? Or

832
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: why didn't they wait until the deadline? I don't know.

833
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: You're not in the front office. You don't know. You

834
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know anything. I don't know anything. Neither none of

835
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: us know anything. We're all we're all, we're all what's

836
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 1: the term couch gms. Really, at the end of the day,

837
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: we can give our opinions on things. I think that's fair,

838
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: but we don't know everything. But that's what I think

839
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: it was. I think the timing it was a very

840
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 1: uh the raffie trade. I think it was a very

841
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: a rare occasion. You don't ever see I don't think

842
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: you can ever really was there another trade at all

843
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 1: a time where a guy had that much money getting

844
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: paid to him and he got moved in June. That's

845
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: a very rare occurrence. That doesn't happen very often. Brandon,

846
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: one more super chat moving him out of the al

847
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: had to be in the combo as well, of course,

848
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean I think that, I mean, I don't think

849
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,399
Speaker 1: that was the ming driving point, but I think that's

850
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: a benefit.

851
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 3: Right.

852
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: They look at that. I'm like, all right, so it

853
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: is what it is, right, and I can ramble on,

854
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 1: you know, but I saw people talking about that today.

855
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on that. So but Brandon, thank

856
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: you for the super chats. Appreciate that. I think at

857
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: some point Duran has a there's a good chance of

858
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 1: him getting moved, right. I've been told personally by by

859
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: a little birdie out there that I've I've trusted over

860
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: the last couple of years that's given me a couple

861
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: of scoops that ended up happening, right, And he told

862
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: me that Duran. He told me that the braves have

863
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: kicked the tires on Jaron Duran. Yeah, So that, uh,

864
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: I think is gonna happen at some point they have

865
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: to move an outfielder. I mean, they just have to

866
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: unless someone gets hurt. Right then again, like something like that,

867
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:29,359
Speaker 1: plans can change quick someone goes down. You know, let's

868
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: say something happens to Williard hopefully not or whatever, or

869
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,800
Speaker 1: Duran himself. Well, all those talks are out the window

870
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: at that point. Anyway, I'm rambling. I feel like my

871
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: brain is starting not to work, which happens a lot everybody.

872
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap it up right there. Thank you for

873
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: joining me here today. Hopefully we can pick up this

874
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: win tomorrow. We need this win. We need a series win.

875
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a dogfight tomorrow. Hopefully Bueller can get

876
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: himself right. Man, he's pitching for his job. I think

877
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: Brent Bell one more think Duran could be traded for

878
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: Bryce Miller. Now, Bryce Miller, he's been dealing with some

879
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 1: arm issues. I think teams are gonna be a little

880
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: scared of that personally. Austin h Where do you think

881
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: Massa should hit second in front of Bregman? In my opinion,

882
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 1: I think Bregman should bat second. I think that would

883
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: make a lot unless they want to keep him third,

884
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: and then they just uh you know, you keep keep

885
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: Roman in the number two spot. I would like Bregman

886
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,359
Speaker 1: in the number two spot. That's your best bat. That's

887
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: kind of where I'm at, honestly, and I would probably, uh,

888
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, probably go Roman third, and then you work

889
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: and then you work Massa probably into either like that

890
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth spot. I think. So that's where I'm at.

891
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: But everybody, we'll be back here tomorrow for the Game
