Speaker 1: Welcome to mass the territory, ladies and ex gentlemen. Big
Speaker 1: series win from the Red Sox gear. It's the night.
Speaker 1: The final score five to four record improves the fifty
Speaker 1: seven and fifty one a twenty win month for the
Speaker 1: Red Sox here in July twenty and four. So far,
Speaker 1: we got the Dodgers coming up later today. It is
Speaker 1: now July thirty first. This is supposed to be the
Speaker 1: trade deadline. By the way, I just want to point
Speaker 1: that out. I just want to point that out. It
Speaker 1: should be a national holiday. The trade deadline should be
Speaker 1: the thirty first, just saying, but no, that's gonna be Monday.
Speaker 1: But obviously the Red Sox they got a chance here
Speaker 1: for twenty one wins for the month. We got the
Speaker 1: Dodgers coming up. We'll talk about them in just a
Speaker 1: little bit. Believe it or not, the Red Sox had
Speaker 1: a twenty win month back in twenty twenty two. Didn't
Speaker 1: think that. I remember they had a good month in June.
Speaker 1: I don't think I did not remember that. It twenty wins.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Anyway, the Red Sox, I mean,
Speaker 1: what an amazing month this has been, and what a
Speaker 1: gritty series of this was. It really brings me back
Speaker 1: to you know, go back to the mid two thousands
Speaker 1: to the late two thousands, anytime you went to the
Speaker 1: Oakland Coliseum, it felt like there were always just some
Speaker 1: gritty battles there. This series kind of reminded me of that.
Speaker 1: But Wilson contraras will you're a bray you going back well,
Speaker 1: will you'er? And then Wilson going back to back here tonight.
Speaker 1: They're the heroes here. Man, oh man, you gotta love that.
Speaker 1: It goes to show what's some nice power in the
Speaker 1: lineup can do back to back. Homer's sealed the deal
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox here. And speaking of gritty, how
Speaker 1: about Sonny Gray here tonight? Sonny Gray, Holy cow, he
Speaker 1: was not looking very good in the first few innings,
Speaker 1: very hittable, a lot of eggs a v low. But
Speaker 1: he made a key adjustment here tonight, mixed up the
Speaker 1: pitch mix a little bit. We'll talk about it, but
Speaker 1: ended up being I think a game saver for him
Speaker 1: tonight and a game saver for the Red Sox here tonight.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it. Great comeback win for the Red Sox,
Speaker 1: good gritty win, good gritty performance. From Sonny Gray. This
Speaker 1: is a hard fought four game series win. Really like
Speaker 1: the effort in this series, and hey they stuck with it,
Speaker 1: and Wilson cantreris after the game saying, talking about the
Speaker 1: resiliency of this team. Unfortunately, unfortunately, we did have a
Speaker 1: bit of a down moment with Jared Duran in this one.
Speaker 1: Here tonight in the sixth inning, there was a sac
Speaker 1: fly attempt it win. If I remember correctly, I think
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty five feet out to left field,
Speaker 1: out to Tyler soda Strom who has a very good
Speaker 1: arm out there, ninety first percentile with his arm strength.
Speaker 1: Wilson at third base, Eperson deciding to hold him up,
Speaker 1: Duran saying, well, not just saying, kind of yelling out there,
Speaker 1: like putting his hands up, what are you doing on
Speaker 1: what's going on? And uh so that was a little interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure everyone caught that. I don't know what
Speaker 1: I don't know. To me, when you think of Wilson,
Speaker 1: he's not a very fast guy. I mean, he will
Speaker 1: absolutely turn on the jets. I mean this guy will
Speaker 1: absolutely just dog it out there like he will he'll
Speaker 1: go one hundred and ten percent. But realistically, Wilson. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not a burner by any means. He's not a
Speaker 1: Jared Durant. He means maybe Jared Durant's thinking, I'm the
Speaker 1: fastest man alive. What's going on? Come on, you can
Speaker 1: run a little quicker. I don't know, but Wilson doesn't
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of speed. And remember, you know,
Speaker 1: just a little while ago, dealing with a foot injury,
Speaker 1: and you know, and obviously Wilson, he's here, big bat
Speaker 1: in the middle of the order. You don't want to
Speaker 1: mess with anything there. So I was a little confused
Speaker 1: about that. With Duran. I wasn't sure I get it.
Speaker 1: You know, they're trying to be aggressive. You know, that's
Speaker 1: been you know, the mantra of this team is being aggressive,
Speaker 1: especially on the base pats. So I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: Duran thought he hit it out far enough, and I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just felt like there was a little
Speaker 1: weird timing, And that could also be Duran. He's pressing,
Speaker 1: the guy's pushing, you know, he's doing just whatever he
Speaker 1: can at this point. Obviously we all know the down
Speaker 1: season that he's having. But yeah, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just felt like maybe that moment got a little got
Speaker 1: the best of him a little bit. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but you know, good vibes right now. You don't like
Speaker 1: to see stuff like that. We'll see, you know, we'll
Speaker 1: see if anything more comes from that. He did talk
Speaker 1: about it in the post game saying basically saying, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of a paraphrasing, not really a big deal. You know,
Speaker 1: they'll keep that in house. That's just he was saying,
Speaker 1: that's kind of just that's the way they play pretty much.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, do you seem not to make
Speaker 1: it really too big of a deal? Was interesting? Will
Speaker 1: you're giving the wally head to Wilson contraras after the
Speaker 1: home run? Usually see Duran doing that, I don't know,
Speaker 1: not trying to you know, not trying to do the
Speaker 1: tinfoil have. It just very interesting with that whole thing.
Speaker 1: Very interesting. But again, this was a positive night here tonight,
Speaker 1: A positive series win, a gritty series win. And I
Speaker 1: keep you in the word gritty, but that's really what
Speaker 1: it was here tonight. You also, you know, didn't have
Speaker 1: some great defense here tonight. You weren't at your best
Speaker 1: throughout this entire series. You know, pitching had its troubles
Speaker 1: both in the rotation and in the bullpen offense. They
Speaker 1: had to find it late, but overall, I really liked
Speaker 1: the effort in this series. And if there is you know,
Speaker 1: if you do want to find a silver lining with Duran,
Speaker 1: you know, you can look at that negatively. I can
Speaker 1: understand that kind of a reaction, but you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm glad the guy's fired up, and the guy's trying
Speaker 1: to win some games, you know, and he's trying to,
Speaker 1: you know, help this team win. So I would at
Speaker 1: least look at the silver lining with that, right, you know,
Speaker 1: Love the competitiveness, love the fire. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, we'll talk about it here tonight. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get through this. We'll talk about Sonny Gray, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about the offense. And we got a little bit of news,
Speaker 1: a little bit of news to talk about here. And
Speaker 1: I'll mention that really quick. Roman Anthony swinging again, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, Roman Anthony is swinging a bat pain free. Ah,
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's beautiful to hear knock on wood, knocking
Speaker 1: all that wood out there, ladies and gentlemen. But that's
Speaker 1: good to hear. I mean, what the time. What a
Speaker 1: timeline this has been for Roman Anthony May fourth, the
Speaker 1: initial injury against the Tigers, tearing a ligament in his
Speaker 1: finger or a partial tear. A couple of weeks, A
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later, try to swing again, steal feeling pain,
Speaker 1: going back to strengthening. He ends up going to Fort Myers.
Speaker 1: So it's pin quite a while. But now he's hitting
Speaker 1: off a tee, doing some short flips. They're limiting it
Speaker 1: to thirty swings as of right now, so I imagine they're
Speaker 1: just gonna keep building up that tolerance and hopefully let's
Speaker 1: see how this goes. You don't want to rush anything,
Speaker 1: but hopefully they can use this next month to really
Speaker 1: build him back up, build up the strength of the
Speaker 1: swing again, get him into some rehab games, and hopefully
Speaker 1: we can see him by September. I think that's the
Speaker 1: way that this is. Hopefully that can be realistic. We'll
Speaker 1: see you always got to pay attention to the ramp up.
Speaker 1: So good news here. Well let's see how this goes.
Speaker 1: But it's a good sign. Nonetheless, curtis me not going
Speaker 1: to need surgery on the wrist. We dig get the
Speaker 1: report that he's expected to miss six to eight weeks.
Speaker 1: Hopefully that doesn't mean he's out for the rest of
Speaker 1: the season. We know how these announce have gone for
Speaker 1: the Red Sox anytime they you know, oh, it looks
Speaker 1: like he dodged a bullet. Well then we then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you find out he's got a broken wrist.
Speaker 1: You know, hopefully Curtis Mead can make it back before
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Right is wearing a cast.
Speaker 1: No surgery needed, so that's a good sign. We also
Speaker 1: got a little bit of news on the trade front also,
Speaker 1: aj Minter going to the Minnesota Twins. Look at the Twinkies.
Speaker 1: Look at the Twinkies being buyers. I listen, I've been
Speaker 1: on record multiple times saying I would really like to
Speaker 1: get a high leverage lefty for the bullpen. I would
Speaker 1: really like for the Red Sox to make an addition
Speaker 1: like that. I know they got some guys at the
Speaker 1: back of you know, we'll talk about Chapman in just
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, Whitlock, he's been great, tyrom Guerrero,
Speaker 1: the guy's been a revelation back there. Slayton Weisser. When
Speaker 1: they're on they can absolutely get any kind of a
Speaker 1: hitter out For me personally, I would love for the
Speaker 1: Red Sox to get a high leverage lefty. Really kind
Speaker 1: of sure that up back there you got Moran in
Speaker 1: this bullpen. I don't know. I like Moran more and
Speaker 1: kind of like the middle innings. I would love to
Speaker 1: get another option from the left side. That's just me.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just being a little a little too picky,
Speaker 1: but I would love for the Red Sox and make
Speaker 1: an addition like that. I was hoping mentor could have
Speaker 1: been possible. But anyway, anyway, the top priority is getting
Speaker 1: another bet, is getting another bat. And we got a
Speaker 1: report on zach Netto Arty Moreno saying, well, John Haman,
Speaker 1: you know, you never know what John ham and John
Speaker 1: Hayman just throws everything out there, but saying Arty Moreno
Speaker 1: with the quote, go ahead, see what we can get
Speaker 1: for him. I don't know if that's an exact quote
Speaker 1: for Arti Moreno. I don't know if that's John Haman paraphrasing.
Speaker 1: You never know. But zach Nato zach Netto looking like
Speaker 1: he is absolutely up for grabs. We'll see. He's obviously
Speaker 1: been connected to the Red Sox quite a bit. We'll
Speaker 1: see what ends up happening, but not much shells when
Speaker 1: it comes to trade news at this point, not much
Speaker 1: Shell's let's get to the show. Let's get to the show.
Speaker 1: If you can't, everybody hit the like button, subscribe if
Speaker 1: you're new, and you know what I actually think. I
Speaker 1: actually think we got ourselves a super chat. Hold on
Speaker 1: a second, I think we got a super chat here.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's not popping I could have
Speaker 1: sworn there was a super chat. I thought, I thought
Speaker 1: I saw one, but now it's not popping up on
Speaker 1: my Let me make sure. Oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it's not popping up in my software,
Speaker 1: but sound effects, thank you for the ten dollars super chat,
Speaker 1: my friend. I would love to put it on the screen,
Speaker 1: but my software is not letting me it, says here.
Speaker 1: Amazed to see the Red Sox in a twenty and
Speaker 1: four run. As we approach the deadline series versus the
Speaker 1: Dodgers will be very telling. Gonna stream the cookie run
Speaker 1: Kingdom while watching the game at the same time Tomorrow
Speaker 1: goes Socks. I mean, what an incredible run this has
Speaker 1: been and wow, wow, I mean, got the Dodgers coming
Speaker 1: up here. I mean, what an exciting series this is.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a real, I think, a good
Speaker 1: test for the Red Sox. Here, you're going up against
Speaker 1: the best team in baseball, all right, the odds on
Speaker 1: World Series favorite. Well, you want to see what you got? Here,
Speaker 1: you go, here's a good test. We'll see what ends
Speaker 1: up happening. Let's get to it, ladies and gentlemen again,
Speaker 1: sound effects, thank you for the super chat. Let's see here,
Speaker 1: what do we got. Let's talk a little Let's talk
Speaker 1: a little Sonny Gray, shall we, little Sonny Gray? You
Speaker 1: know again, with Sonny he was not looking very sharp,
Speaker 1: you know. First time through the order, Second time through
Speaker 1: the order, I mean he was going with the kitchen
Speaker 1: sink here tonight, five different pitches, sweepers, sinkers, cutters, four seemers, curves.
Speaker 1: First time through the order, sinkers, curves and four seamers.
Speaker 1: Second time through, started leaning into the cutters a little
Speaker 1: bit more. But then the third time through he started
Speaker 1: to mixing in more sweepers and some sinkers as well.
Speaker 1: And that's when he looked his best here tonight, That's
Speaker 1: when he looked his best. But you know again, early
Speaker 1: on he was not looking very sharp. The Vello has
Speaker 1: also been a little down with Sonny Gray over the
Speaker 1: last couple of outings. So I'm wondering if he's kind
Speaker 1: of fighting through something. You know, you're about to get
Speaker 1: into the dog days here, right, So I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of fatigue. Give him a lot
Speaker 1: of hard a lot of hard exit Villo here tonight,
Speaker 1: over ninety one miles an hour on average. First in
Speaker 1: the second inning, Kurt's This was a sign from the
Speaker 1: from the get go. Kurts had a hard line out
Speaker 1: to start off the game. I think Jacob Wilson with
Speaker 1: a double. You know, he gets a couple of groundouts,
Speaker 1: couple of flyouts in the first couple of innings, and
Speaker 1: he also got some help from Anthony Siegler. Tony seagulls
Speaker 1: man looking like an absolute seagull out there. This guy
Speaker 1: was flying all over the place here tonight. He was
Speaker 1: making just great plays out there. Defensively, this guy was
Speaker 1: sliding home here tonight. The guy was just flying like
Speaker 1: a seagull here tonight. He made a great play to
Speaker 1: Rob McNeil hundred one miles an hour off the bat
Speaker 1: in the second inning. Holy cow, what a play from
Speaker 1: Anthony Siegler. Gotta love that. But in the A's they
Speaker 1: were able to start tacking on some runs. After that
Speaker 1: third inning, Cortes with a walk, Kurtz he gets on
Speaker 1: after a Monasterio error. This is why I really think
Speaker 1: you gotta obviously we all know, but the evidence just
Speaker 1: keeps appearing. We you gotta get a short stop. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know Stories on his way back, but you don't know,
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're gonna get. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: don't give story a chance, but like I think some
Speaker 1: really nice insurance will go a long way. Now what
Speaker 1: level of a move they'll make, I'm not so sure
Speaker 1: will they even make a move. I don't know. You
Speaker 1: never know, but you know, another error out there, and
Speaker 1: then Jacob Wilson with a bass hit that made it
Speaker 1: one nothing. It was actually, I think a pretty good
Speaker 1: pitch from Sonny Gray. It was a cutter below the zone.
Speaker 1: Jacob Wilson, this guy is just so good. The guy's
Speaker 1: a machine. He's an absolute freak. The guy hits everything.
Speaker 1: My goodness, He's like, uh, I saw what was it?
Speaker 1: I saw this this video a little while ago. It
Speaker 1: was like this robot that was just swinging, just swinging, swinging,
Speaker 1: swinging and just hitting everything. That's Jacob Wilson. I love
Speaker 1: Jacob Wilson. He's awesome. But uh, you could also say,
Speaker 1: you know, Sonny Gray again, the VLO has been down
Speaker 1: a little bit, so I don't know, I feel like batters,
Speaker 1: you go back to the last game against Toronto, they're
Speaker 1: just picking him up more so. Anyway, combining that with
Speaker 1: Wilson just being a great hitter, that made it one
Speaker 1: nothing fourth inning, a couple of doubles off the bat
Speaker 1: of Jonaheim Lawrence Butler. Lawrence Butler was a freaking machine
Speaker 1: in this series. Man, Holy cow, this guy was so
Speaker 1: good back to He had a couple of doubles there.
Speaker 1: They made it two to nothing, High'm off of a
Speaker 1: cutter and then Butler getting into one. Jeff McNeil, Donovan
Speaker 1: Walton each had a base hit. They made a three
Speaker 1: to nothing. He did strike out Cortes on a sweeper,
Speaker 1: So I wonder if that was kind of like a
Speaker 1: kind of like the the uh, it's the word I'm
Speaker 1: looking for, kind of like the not the alarm bell,
Speaker 1: the uh, the the ding moment. I can't forget. It's
Speaker 1: I'm tired. I gotta go to bed, but I think
Speaker 1: something dinged in Sonny Gray's had like, oh, might have
Speaker 1: start using these sweepers a little bit. These are pretty good.
Speaker 1: And then he worked around a Kurts walk to get
Speaker 1: out of it. He had a one two three, fifth,
Speaker 1: sixth inning butler with a second double. Holy cow, the
Speaker 1: guy's a freak McNeil. The sackfly moved him over Cortes
Speaker 1: with a sackfly, gave the gave the A's the lead
Speaker 1: back four to three. Get to the Red Sox offense here.
Speaker 1: But in the end, Sunny Gray he was able to
Speaker 1: get it figured out here. He adjusted the pitch mix.
Speaker 1: He's a pros pro, solid veteran, been around the game
Speaker 1: for a while. He made the adjustment. That's what the
Speaker 1: good veterans do, so Sonny Gray. In the end, seven innings,
Speaker 1: seven hits, four earned five strikeouts, a couple of walks.
Speaker 1: Not his best outing by far, but I'll say it
Speaker 1: for like the tenth time, gritty, gritty, gritty, let's go
Speaker 1: to the offense this offense here tonight, man hole league cow. Well,
Speaker 1: it didn't get off to a good start. Goodness, gracious
Speaker 1: Mason Barnett sitting down the first ten batters of the game,
Speaker 1: five strikeouts, struck out four on four seemers, one on
Speaker 1: a curve. His vlo was actually up a little bit tonight.
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious. He was looking like arger freaking Clemens out there.
Speaker 1: But then the fourth inning the Red Sox. He had
Speaker 1: a couple opportunities here said he with the bass hit,
Speaker 1: he steals second, will sing gets on with a walk,
Speaker 1: but nothing else. Here comes the fifth inning, though, here
Speaker 1: comes the fifth inning. Caleb Durban getting on hit by pitch.
Speaker 1: Hit it on the shoulder, look like a kind of.
Speaker 2: It.
Speaker 1: Looked like a pretty painful hit by pick. Look think
Speaker 1: you got hit right in the in the right spot.
Speaker 1: So it took him a little bit to gather himself,
Speaker 1: but he was there. The guy's a dirt dog. We
Speaker 1: all love Caleb Durban. Duran ground out, moves him over
Speaker 1: to second base, and here comes Angril Monasterio.
Speaker 2: Hard hit center field. Base hit Monasterio Durban to the play.
Speaker 2: Who else but Mona and the Red Sox are.
Speaker 1: On the board. So yes, Monasterio making the error but
Speaker 1: making up for it. Here give him the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: The first round of the night making it three to one,
Speaker 1: Connor Wong striking out, but then Siegler with a base
Speaker 1: hit after deflecting off of McNeil's glove, and here comes
Speaker 1: King SETI what's the date to they life? Ah? Man ah,
Speaker 1: they keep getting me with these ads. Man. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've been playing these audio clips for so many games.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they're starting to catch on because
Speaker 1: a lot of these audio clips or these ad clips
Speaker 1: have not been playing, but they're starting to play a
Speaker 1: lot more in the last couple of nights. Here we go,
Speaker 1: Kings the time of Tommy sat Dona hold on goodness, great.
Speaker 2: First pitch, sat Don past the time of Tommy White
Speaker 2: at third Monastereo scores. Siegler gets the wave around third,
Speaker 2: throw to the plate.
Speaker 1: Is not in time? Have the red socks? I've tied it?
Speaker 3: Really nice answer here from the socks, it's ball down
Speaker 3: the line. White not in a lot of range, right
Speaker 3: over that bag. It gets down in the corner. You know,
Speaker 3: Mona was gonna score here easily. The question was Siegler,
Speaker 3: who's going around the base pass? Epperson with a good
Speaker 3: send here with two.
Speaker 1: Outs right and Siegler just diving home. He gotta love that. Now.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a hard hit ball from Seti by any means,
Speaker 1: but just hit it right in the perfect spot. It
Speaker 1: was eighty six miles an hour off the bat, just
Speaker 1: down the line. He's got it right in the right spot.
Speaker 1: Twenty seventh double of the year for Seti. And then
Speaker 1: here comes the eighth thning again. The A's did take
Speaker 1: the lead at one point, but we got a couple
Speaker 1: of big flies.
Speaker 2: A Bray who strikes it well center field, Butler back
Speaker 2: tie game.
Speaker 1: It didn't stop there though.
Speaker 2: Now Wilson Contrere's lutches back to back for the lead.
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding, don't hang it.
Speaker 3: That was leaned on that ball land in left center field.
Speaker 3: I look down. I don't think Wilson was out of
Speaker 3: the dirt.
Speaker 1: Yet, say man oh man. Obviously, nothing will ever compare
Speaker 1: to Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, but it's nice to
Speaker 1: see a couple of back to back homers in the
Speaker 1: middle of the order like that in the third and
Speaker 1: fourth spot. You gotta love that.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: Really brings me back to those days of Manny and
Speaker 1: Poppy in the middle of the order. Again, they're obviously
Speaker 1: not Manny and Poppy. But you gotta love that, man.
Speaker 1: You felt like you would see that all the time.
Speaker 1: With those guys down by a run. That's okay. Poppy
Speaker 1: comes up Homer, Manny comes up Homer or whatever, vice versa,
Speaker 1: wherever they were in the order. Man oh man, gotta
Speaker 1: love that couple of big flies. This is why it's
Speaker 1: good to have some power in the middle of the order,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. And that was all the Red Sox
Speaker 1: offense needed here tonight. Now bullpen Greg Weisert, he comes
Speaker 1: in for the eighth. He's been looking really good here
Speaker 1: the last couple of games. But we know the d well,
Speaker 1: we know the deal with Greg Weisert. He when he
Speaker 1: goes on these runs, you can't seem to get a
Speaker 1: head off this guy. Well, he did give up a
Speaker 1: base hitt him, but then he gets a double play.
Speaker 1: I gets Tommy White the grinder to a double play,
Speaker 1: strikes out Butler on a four seamer with a little
Speaker 1: bit of life on it, Man, oh Man. Greg Weiser
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a strut, a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know, he looked like it a little a little
Speaker 1: bit of a I don't say scrut, but a little
Speaker 1: confidence for him. You know, he looked like he just
Speaker 1: was feeling good out there. The body language looked good.
Speaker 1: And then here comes the oldest Chapman. Now again with Chapman,
Speaker 1: we've been talking about this, there have been some bumps
Speaker 1: over the last several weeks, going back to the hamstring injury.
Speaker 1: You just feel like there's just been too many instances
Speaker 1: where he's leaving just something right over the plate. And
Speaker 1: Alika Williams with a double four hundred and six feet
Speaker 1: to left center. I thought this might have had a chance,
Speaker 1: but luckily ends up staying in the yard. He gets
Speaker 1: a double. But then, like we've seen with Chapman, he
Speaker 1: just locks in. It's like he gets hit, he gets
Speaker 1: he gets a nice jab to the face, and then
Speaker 1: he just locks in. Man strikes out Thomas on a
Speaker 1: strikeout looking fastball, pretty much right down the middle. He
Speaker 1: challenged it, just hoping for the best. And then he
Speaker 1: strikes out Kurts on a nasty splitter. So again, you know, Chapman,
Speaker 1: he's had a couple of bumps. And then I'll reiterate it.
Speaker 1: Now maybe you know from my end, it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of one of these like I don't know,
Speaker 1: beggars can't be choosers kind of a thing, because obviously
Speaker 1: I know the Red Sox they could really use another
Speaker 1: bat that they could be really use one, whether that's
Speaker 1: a short I don't know, second catcher, whatever it is
Speaker 1: somewhere up the middle. I mean, shoot, could you even
Speaker 1: go for a bat possibly to I don't know, share
Speaker 1: some time out in left field Durans obviously having just
Speaker 1: the season that he's having. I don't know, you need
Speaker 1: another bat. So you know, if I were to pick one, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd probably lean towards getting a bat. I think that's
Speaker 1: pretty obvious. But if they could find a way, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Maybe maybe I'm being a little silly, but
Speaker 1: I would really love for just just another sure thing
Speaker 1: at the back end. Again, that's maybe maybe I'm nitpicking
Speaker 1: a little bit, because this bullpen has been very good
Speaker 1: this year. I mean, if we're looking at the rankings
Speaker 1: for the bullpen overall, when it comes to fangraft wins
Speaker 1: above replacement, they ranked second overall. You know, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know Chabman witlock. You know, Chadbin's had his bumps, sure,
Speaker 1: but again he's able to lock in Whitlock. I mean,
Speaker 1: these guys have been, you know, easily one of the
Speaker 1: best one to two punctions in baseball over the last
Speaker 1: couple of years. Slayton, you feel like, might be kind
Speaker 1: of getting himself figured out. He was really running some
Speaker 1: bumps there. But the Max shirts do look good with Slayton,
Speaker 1: do look good. So he's not getting a whole lot
Speaker 1: of whiffs, but he's he's racking up strikeouts. So that's
Speaker 1: one thing with Slayton, you know, and again it feel
Speaker 1: like he's he's probably ran into a little bit of
Speaker 1: bad luck. I mean, when you think about it with
Speaker 1: Justin Slayton, looking at the numbers overall, eleven and a
Speaker 1: half strikeouts per nine, two walks for nine, there's are
Speaker 1: great numbers. Has been a little home run prone, but
Speaker 1: you kind of wonder is he passed that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: The babbit has been very high at a three sixty five,
Speaker 1: So I think Slayton long term is going to be fine.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about Slayton. I mean, the guy, the
Speaker 1: numbers speak for himself. But why Tyrone Guerrero has been amazing,
Speaker 1: What a revelation he's been. Holy cow, I mean ten
Speaker 1: strikeouts per nine, one walk per nine, insane numbers from
Speaker 1: Tyrone Guerrero. It's actually like to me, I think, a
Speaker 1: great story for the Red Sox and just in baseball
Speaker 1: this year, right, I mean, he was pitching for the
Speaker 1: Marlins back in twenty nineteen twenty eight, came up to
Speaker 1: the Po's Rays, pitched two winnings in twenty sixteen, and
Speaker 1: then he goes overseas and I missed a few years
Speaker 1: in between, and having one of the best seasons for
Speaker 1: a reliever this year, I mean, Tyrone Guerrero, I mean,
Speaker 1: what a what a great story this has been. I
Speaker 1: feel like the story itself isn't being talked about enough
Speaker 1: so anyway, but back to the point, the Red Sox
Speaker 1: bullpen has been great. I'm probably maybe just being a
Speaker 1: little nitpicky. I mean, obviously because the numbers are great.
Speaker 1: So I don't know that's because maybe it's the traditionalist
Speaker 1: in me where I just like having a couple of
Speaker 1: different looks. I don't know. I feel like I wanted
Speaker 1: to clear that up a little bit because I have
Speaker 1: been mentioning relievers and maybe the Chapman giving up giving
Speaker 1: up the double there in the ninth, giving up a
Speaker 1: more hard contact. Maybe eh, yeah, maybe that made me
Speaker 1: a little kind of a little reactive. In the end,
Speaker 1: they're getting the job done. Final score of Ladies and
Speaker 1: Gentlemen five to four. Again, not an easy series win,
Speaker 1: felt like every win with you know, had its bumps
Speaker 1: along the way, but it was big. It was big.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the next series, Ladies and Gentlemen, let's
Speaker 1: get to the next series. Well, actually, let's take a
Speaker 1: look at the standings. What do we got going on?
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the updated wild card standings here,
Speaker 1: still seven games back in the division. I am not
Speaker 1: giving up on this division, with how how great they've
Speaker 1: been to put themselves back into the spot. You know what,
Speaker 1: I'll still hold out hope for the division, but for
Speaker 1: the wild Card. That's where they're at right now. Still
Speaker 1: a few and a half games behind the Yankees here
Speaker 1: in the second spot. The Guardians winning, so they're hanging
Speaker 1: on the third spot. And the Twins hey adding to
Speaker 1: the bullpen with aj mentor good move. They're a game back.
Speaker 1: The Astros winning three straight. They're a game back, the
Speaker 1: Orioles winning. They're two and a half back the Mariners.
Speaker 1: They're slipping a little lately, but always look out for
Speaker 1: the Mariners in the second half. Always. They have been
Speaker 1: a very good second half team over the last couple
Speaker 1: of years. But they are a few back. The Tigers
Speaker 1: did lose again here today. It's looking like maybe Trek
Speaker 1: Schoolball could be on his way out of Detroit. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think they were doing everything they can. I think
Speaker 1: the Tiger's got to move them. I think they really
Speaker 1: have to consider what they'd be able to get back
Speaker 1: for him. That's just me, But those are the updated standings.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look here at the upcoming series, and actually,
Speaker 1: really quick, I do want to go over my player
Speaker 1: of the game, and I think I'm gonna you know,
Speaker 1: I was kind of thinking. I was like, man, I
Speaker 1: feel like you go a couple of different ways here.
Speaker 1: Think you could go a couple of different ways. But
Speaker 1: I think for me, it's gotta be Wilson. It's gotta
Speaker 1: be Wilson. Wilson Contreris with the game winning home run
Speaker 1: here tonight, going two for three and a get. Just
Speaker 1: what an amazing season this has been, hitting two eighty
Speaker 1: nine twenty three homers. He's on pace for thirty five homers. Ladies,
Speaker 1: and gentlemen easily a career high nine ops, one fifty
Speaker 1: six WRC plus. What a great season for Wilson and
Speaker 1: obviously will you're I think you could give some credit there, right,
Speaker 1: give him some credit there again, back to back homers
Speaker 1: to give the Red Sox to win. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Let's talk about the Dodgers. Big series coming up,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, very big series. I think it's a
Speaker 1: good Again, this is a test. This is not the
Speaker 1: right series. This is not the right series. What is
Speaker 1: going on here? What is this? This can that's not right?
Speaker 2: Hold on?
Speaker 1: I said, we're not playing the White what's going on here?
Speaker 1: Hold on a second? So all right, there we go.
Speaker 1: I don't know why it was telling me the White
Speaker 1: Sox on there. I was like, wait a minute, hold
Speaker 1: on a second. I've been we have been reading the
Speaker 1: schedule wrong this entire time. But nope, we got the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez back on the bump. He made his return
Speaker 1: his last start. They kept the picks count low about
Speaker 1: four innings or four innings. I think he was at
Speaker 1: like what fifty sixty or no, it was like sixty
Speaker 1: pitches or so sixty sixty five. But obviously the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: Of the Dodgers there one went away from seventy wins already,
Speaker 1: They've been great both at home and away. What else
Speaker 1: is there to say? They're the Dodgers. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think we all know what we're getting ourselves into here.
Speaker 1: But uh, I mean, obviously you're looking at the top
Speaker 1: of the order. You got Otani. He's not pitching at
Speaker 1: the moment, but we all know Otani's Otani, Andy pa
Speaker 1: Haz having a great season. Freddy Freeman, Freddy Freeman. Now
Speaker 1: you know with Mookie Bets, Mookie Bets having a down
Speaker 1: year at the plate, a six ninety two ops, eighty
Speaker 1: eight WRC plus, so Mookie's trying to find it. Kyle
Speaker 1: Tucker has been a very disappointing signing man. He's getting
Speaker 1: paid the big bucks and he's only got a seven
Speaker 1: oh four ops. But yeah, I mean you're looking here
Speaker 1: at Otani, Pahz Freeman. Months he's been solid. I mean
Speaker 1: you got three, no, sorry four, three f War players
Speaker 1: one through four in this order. Incredible, incredible, man oh man.
Speaker 1: Then he got you know, ta Oscar. He came back
Speaker 1: recently at the bottom. I mean you got ta Oscar
Speaker 1: batting eighth for crying outline, we're talking about getting him
Speaker 1: to bat fourth for the Red Sox. At one point,
Speaker 1: he's a betting eighth in this lineup. Tommy Edmond's also
Speaker 1: been hitting pretty well since coming back from injury. So
Speaker 1: but as for the pitching backships, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: pitching maaxshups. Now. It doesn't look like they have an
Speaker 1: announced starter for game one. Let me actually just confirm
Speaker 1: there is no announced starter for Game one against Ranger Suarez.
Speaker 1: But on Fangrafts, the way it's projected, well, I don't
Speaker 1: know because they they had Yamamoto projected for the first game,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be pitching Game two, and then game
Speaker 1: three it's gonna be Emmett Shean. So I don't know
Speaker 1: who's going game one. I don't know if anyone's seen
Speaker 1: an announcement anywhere Misstic Summer bullpen game, I don't know
Speaker 1: look out for that. But I mean, if we're looking
Speaker 1: at I mean, uh, hold on, did uh did Rokie
Speaker 1: pitch in the last couple of days. Rokie hasn't pitched
Speaker 1: in at so what's going on with him? He pitched
Speaker 1: on the twenty fourth against the Mets, and he got
Speaker 1: to win. He went seven innings, struck out nine. So
Speaker 1: I don't know a Rokie pitch today. Okay, alright, sorry,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, My bad. Yeah, I don't know why
Speaker 1: fangrafts of their probable pictures they don't. Maybe they already
Speaker 1: updated it. Oh okay, I think they had just updated it.
Speaker 1: I forget. It's past midnight here, so anyway, Roki just
Speaker 1: picked that pitched here tonight. So yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: who's pitching Game one. We'll just have to wait and see.
Speaker 1: But Yamamoto going game two, he's been amazing this year.
Speaker 1: One of the best pictures in baseball. I mean, holy cow,
Speaker 1: nineteen starts el Ray two point seven to two fit
Speaker 1: at a three point three to two, so that's a
Speaker 1: little higher. His strikeouts have actually come down this year,
Speaker 1: eight point four strikeouts per nine, two walks per nine,
Speaker 1: under a home run per nine. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know he's pitching a bit more to contact, But
Speaker 1: who cares. Yamamoto has been amazing, I mean, pulling up
Speaker 1: the stack cast him. He's been amazing since coming to
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Holy col I mean you got Reds all
Speaker 1: over the place. I mean, this is gonna be tough. Listen.
Speaker 1: I still have memories of the Red Sox wanting to
Speaker 1: bring in Yamamoto. I man, I wanted him to come
Speaker 1: to the Red Sox so bad, but he was always
Speaker 1: going to the Dodgers, always going to the Dodgers, so
Speaker 1: that was that was useless to hope for. And then
Speaker 1: Emmitt Shean going for Game three now, Emmett Shean, if
Speaker 1: I were to take a look, of course I can't
Speaker 1: find the right page. Emmitt Shean's e alray is close
Speaker 1: to a five. The FIP is still around the mid fours,
Speaker 1: so it's not amazing. He looked really good last year
Speaker 1: e al ray and FIP under a two. But he's
Speaker 1: been more home run prone this year one point six
Speaker 1: home runs per nine. He's still getting a good amount
Speaker 1: of strikeouts, He's not walking a lot of guys, but yeah,
Speaker 1: he's giving up a lot more hard contact. So taking
Speaker 1: a look, I mean, yeah, I mean, you got some reds.
Speaker 1: He's getting a lot of guys to chase. He's getting
Speaker 1: a lot of swing and miss striking out guys, not
Speaker 1: walking a whole lot of guys, but he's giving up
Speaker 1: a lot of barrels middle of the road with his
Speaker 1: exit v low. He's also giving up a lot of
Speaker 1: balls in the air. So hey, Wilson and William, you
Speaker 1: got another couple of back to back homers. A couple
Speaker 1: more back to back homers. That would be pretty amazing
Speaker 1: if you ask me. Yeah, Emmit Shean, lookout for that.
Speaker 1: If I alred to look at the pitches here with him,
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of damage against his four seamer,
Speaker 1: over a six hundred on the slugging on his four seamer,
Speaker 1: so twelve home runs off the four seamer, So yeah,
Speaker 1: you're looking for the fastballs from Emmitt Shean. Alrighty, all right,
Speaker 1: just make sure we're caught up with everything. We do
Speaker 1: have a couple of super chats here, a couple of
Speaker 1: super chats. Let's get to it. And uh, let's get
Speaker 1: to this one here from mister Poe. What's going on,
Speaker 1: mister Pope? Send Durand to Siberia. We'll put him on
Speaker 1: a rocket ship to the moon. Man, oh man, I
Speaker 1: don't know what happens with Durant. I'm very curious because
Speaker 1: I mean, you're looking at the numbers, but like I
Speaker 1: don't know is there a team out there that would
Speaker 1: want to make a trade. I mean, is there a
Speaker 1: team out there that maybe believes very highly in the
Speaker 1: skill set because it is there. He's obviously got the speed,
Speaker 1: his defense has been good this year, and he's still
Speaker 1: got a little bit of pop. But obviously, you know,
Speaker 1: adding under two hundred is the where is the ops?
Speaker 1: Actually is the ops under six hundred at this point? Yeah,
Speaker 1: five eighty nine. So I mean, you're not going to
Speaker 1: get a whole lot back for him. He needs an offseason.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got it. He's basically just pushing through
Speaker 1: as much as he can, but he he is going
Speaker 1: to have to really get into the lab this offseason.
Speaker 1: This is going to be pretty hard to fix at
Speaker 1: this point, I would say, I mean, who knows. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe can get it figured out over the next month
Speaker 1: or so. We'll see. Maybe a new month can be
Speaker 1: what Duran needs. You know, sometimes flipping the calendar is
Speaker 1: all a guy needs. But I don't know, But you
Speaker 1: wonder with Craig, you know, he's really held out when
Speaker 1: it comes to his trade value, and now he would
Speaker 1: be selling him low. So you kind of just wonder.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but or you know, good sign from
Speaker 1: Roman here today, he ends up making his way back,
Speaker 1: then you know, Duran, I imagine he is he is
Speaker 1: relegated to the banks at that point, because Seti and
Speaker 1: Williard they're not They're not going to the banks obviously,
Speaker 1: So I would think Duran's playing time is really gonna
Speaker 1: get cut if Roman comes back. And that's another thing
Speaker 1: too with Roman. Yeah, I mean that's great news we
Speaker 1: hear today, but you still don't know. You don't know
Speaker 1: until you're gonna ramp things up. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like unless there's like a creative move that
Speaker 1: Duran could be involved, because you know Masa, you know
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be the best left fielder out there.
Speaker 1: That would be a down grade. Defensively, he has been
Speaker 1: better with the bat, So I mean, could you just
Speaker 1: deal with Masa for the rest. Because I'm also like,
Speaker 1: the way I'm thinking about Roman is I'm not necessarily
Speaker 1: banking on him coming back, like I hope he does
Speaker 1: and that, but I'm more looking at that as like
Speaker 1: a like a nice surprise, right, I'm not banking on it.
Speaker 1: And then you also think, too, when he what's even
Speaker 1: the performance going to look like, so, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I kind of wonder if Craig he's I feel like
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna end up hanging on to him, unless again,
Speaker 1: there is some kind of like a bigger deal where
Speaker 1: maybe he could be used as like a throw in.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but obviously the numbers speak for themselves.
Speaker 1: With Durant moving on, here we go. What do we
Speaker 1: got here? Curtis Mead was a blood sacrificeer Romancy? Oh man? Hey,
Speaker 1: you know what could you imagine? Could you imagine getting
Speaker 1: both those guys back by the end of the year,
Speaker 1: oh man? And and you could add someone. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to hear that. Roman's like
Speaker 1: a trade deadline acquisition. But if you could make one
Speaker 1: more addition and then you get made back and Roman back,
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. It's pretty good. If you asked me
Speaker 1: what have we got here from kick puncture, you didn't
Speaker 1: say anything because he just threw down ten. I appreciate you, man,
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. All right, Hey, I appreciate the support.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was that meant to happen
Speaker 1: that way. I usually don't see that there was nothing there.
Speaker 1: I don't think you let me check in the chat.
Speaker 1: No you didn't say. Okay, well, thank you, kick Puncture.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, my friend, thank you so much. But everybody,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap it up right there. It's late.
Speaker 2: It is late.

Speaker 1: west coast West coast trip to be over. I am ready.
Speaker 1: I am ready, Misstic Summer. Robbie, do you think Jami
Speaker 1: Jones should play over d Ran? I think Jamai Jones
Speaker 1: at this point you leave him for the lefties. You know,
Speaker 1: that's that's where he thrives. So that's where I'm at.
