Speaker 1: Oh Man, oh man, walking about the territory, Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: What a win for the Red Sox here tonight, bit
Speaker 1: of a statement win here tonight. Listen, we still got
Speaker 1: two more games to go. We want the series win.
Speaker 1: We don't just want a win, we want a series
Speaker 1: win over the Dodgers. Here the best team in baseball,
Speaker 1: But the Red Sox took it to the Dodgers here
Speaker 1: tonight in la final score. Red Sox win nine to four.
Speaker 1: Record improves the fifty eight and fifty one, twenty fifth
Speaker 1: comeback win of the year. The most Major League Baseball
Speaker 1: up to this point is the Diamondbacks for thirty three.
Speaker 1: But what an incredible month for the Red Sox. Happy August,
Speaker 1: by the way, ladies and gentlemen, Happy August. We have
Speaker 1: now flipped a calendar. Hopefully they can keep this going.
Speaker 1: But what an incredible month of July for the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: Their best win percentage ever in franchise history twenty one
Speaker 1: and four. On month they won twenty one games in
Speaker 1: a month back in two thousand and four, Man oh man,
Speaker 1: all right, that August in two thousand and four still
Speaker 1: lives on in my memories. But this one is absolutely
Speaker 1: gonna live on in my memory for a very long time.
Speaker 1: And hey, you know what, again, while that final score
Speaker 1: may look may seem like it was an easy win
Speaker 1: here tonight, it was anything but that. For at least
Speaker 1: the first half of the game. Ranger Suarez wasn't great
Speaker 1: here tonight. Didn't have another once again, not having another
Speaker 1: long outing. He was giving up hard hits, didn't really
Speaker 1: seem to have a great feel for the breaking stuff,
Speaker 1: was leaning more into the fastball, tight pitches. Chad Tracy
Speaker 1: ended up taking him out before going up against Otani
Speaker 1: again in the fifth inning. Geovanni Moran ended up being
Speaker 1: the latest victim of show. Hey Oty, I personally would
Speaker 1: have kept Ranger Suarez in the game once again, was
Speaker 1: working with a limited pitch count. Remember he just came
Speaker 1: off the il not too long ago, but there should
Speaker 1: have been a bit more room to play with. In
Speaker 1: this one last outing, he had sixty four pitches, so
Speaker 1: I was thinking he was gonna have like anywhere from
Speaker 1: seventy to eighty here tonight. So I don't know. I
Speaker 1: would have kept him in ended up working out in
Speaker 1: the end. It is what it is, But out of
Speaker 1: the bullpen, Holy Calabrian BeO really stepping up here tonight. Bullpen.
Speaker 1: BeO is amazing. Honestly, just keep him in this kind
Speaker 1: of a role. I mean, this is the first time
Speaker 1: we've seen him come in this late in the game, right,
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen the openers Ray he ends up
Speaker 1: coming in and like you know, the second inning, third inning,
Speaker 1: But this is the latest he's come in. Unless I'm
Speaker 1: completely forgetting about a start, but he has just been
Speaker 1: amazing out of the bullpen. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: just it's the more simple approach, right, he seems to
Speaker 1: just focus really on two or three pitches. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's the key for him in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Maybe a little a little something different with the mentality
Speaker 1: warming up in the bullpen. I'm not exactly sure, but
Speaker 1: Bo has been amazing out of the bullpen. He was
Speaker 1: able to hold it down while the Dodgers did have
Speaker 1: the lead at one point. He was able to hold
Speaker 1: it down long enough for the Red Sox to get
Speaker 1: an outburst of runs. Five runs of the seventh inning
Speaker 1: SETI with an incredible night. Just letting you all know
Speaker 1: he is my player of the game here tonight. Holy cow,
Speaker 1: what a night for mister Sadam Rafaela finishing the night
Speaker 1: three for five, couple of Ribi's, a massive home run,
Speaker 1: two run, go ahead home run in the seventh. What
Speaker 1: else does he have to do? Many? How many more
Speaker 1: big stages does Set he have to go on to
Speaker 1: prove that he is one of the best all around
Speaker 1: players in the game. I don't know, but SETI absolutely
Speaker 1: amazing here tonight. And Ramonasterio had himself a good night
Speaker 1: as well. One for five here tonight, had to run
Speaker 1: double great defense as well, both sides of the ball.
Speaker 1: Monasterio looking good. We did get a report here for
Speaker 1: today from Sean McCadam saying, looking like talks between the
Speaker 1: Red Sox and the Marlins are dead. They haven't talked
Speaker 1: in a while over a possible trade candidate in Otto Lopez.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we may get that report now, but
Speaker 1: you never know what could happen in the next couple
Speaker 1: of days. I'm almost like forgetting that the trait deadlines
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. That's how revved up I
Speaker 1: am over this one here tonight. But Monasterio he saw
Speaker 1: that report, I guess, and he said, all right, well, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take on the reins now. Funny enough, while
Speaker 1: we have been talking about shortstops, it didn't dawn on
Speaker 1: me that thanks to Red Sox stats over on Twitter,
Speaker 1: he actually put out there that the Red Sox are
Speaker 1: actually ranking really well when it comes to shortstop production
Speaker 1: this past month. I mean not just the Red Sox
Speaker 1: having a good month, but shortstops of the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: Andrew Monasterio, Sung Shaig Schenk having a great month second
Speaker 1: overall in fangraft wins above replacement. Who would have thought, well,
Speaker 1: Aksraa Monasterio, he has been very good. There was at
Speaker 1: one point Monasterio had a very large negative fangraft wins
Speaker 1: above replacement. He is he has now gotten himself into
Speaker 1: the positives, especially after tonight. How about Jaron Durant after
Speaker 1: the episode last night, I think he I guarantee duran
Speaker 1: probably saw some of the criticism on social media over
Speaker 1: the last twenty four hours or so, but he was
Speaker 1: able to come through here tonight got the game started
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox of the base hit driving in
Speaker 1: a run. How about Masa taking advantage of a Freddie
Speaker 1: Freeman error here tonight? Right man at the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: They were able to pounce first. Unfortunately, you know, just
Speaker 1: range of Suarez, Giovanni Moran weren't very effective. We're able
Speaker 1: to give the lead back to the Dodgers. But again
Speaker 1: the offense Holy Cal you know, and this sorry to
Speaker 1: bring up bad memories, but you know this was a
Speaker 1: huge problem for the Red Sox. So the first monson
Speaker 1: Holy Cow, even without Curtis Mead. Curtis Mead At a
Speaker 1: broken freaking wrist doesn't matter for this lineup, doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: And also also got to talk about Wilson Contreras. Wilson Contreras,
Speaker 1: this guy's an absolute savage. I don't know what else,
Speaker 1: what else there is to say. Uh, I think he
Speaker 1: took the title as one of the toughest sobs in
Speaker 1: all of Major League Baseball. The guy got hit on
Speaker 1: the freaking helmet, absolutely shook him up a little bit.
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of Wilson Contreras when it comes to,
Speaker 1: you know, yapping at guys out there, you know, getting in,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of brawls here and there. We've
Speaker 1: seen him fired up, but we haven't seen him like
Speaker 1: that where he got rattled a little bit and Holy Cow.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, when you're getting clocked with a ninety
Speaker 1: five mile an hour heat, Uh yeah, anyone's gonna get rouled.
Speaker 1: I mean me, I'm gonna be probably face down in
Speaker 1: the dirt, probably crying myself to sleep. Here's Wilson Contreras saying, nnah,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna walk on over the first base.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go take my base. I'm fine. Get away
Speaker 1: from me. I'm okay, don't touch me. Wilson Contreras, He's
Speaker 1: an absolute savage. I don't know what else there is
Speaker 1: to say. He eventually came out. He know. The funny
Speaker 1: thing about that was this guy got hit on the
Speaker 1: freaking head and instead of him coming out, he eventually
Speaker 1: did come out, but instead of him coming out right there,
Speaker 1: Will Klein ended up getting taken out of the game.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I thought that was kind of funny. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, they were making a pitching change, but I
Speaker 1: just found the thought of that kind of funny that
Speaker 1: the guy, the guy who hit Wilson, ends up coming out,
Speaker 1: but Wilson ends up staying in Holy Cow. The guy's
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. Great night for the Red Sox here tonight
Speaker 1: also franklin Arius with another home run down at Triple A.
Speaker 1: It's only getting louder and louder for mister franklin Arius.
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be a trade candidate? Is he gonna
Speaker 1: be with the Red Sox at some point? I'm not
Speaker 1: so sure. We're just here for the ride. We're all
Speaker 1: having fun. Ah man, this has got me all fired
Speaker 1: up here, ladies and gentlemen. I was tired like two
Speaker 1: hours ago. I'm thinking, how the heck am I gonna
Speaker 1: do this stream here tonight? I could probably stay up
Speaker 1: for the rest of the night, to be completely honest
Speaker 1: with you, man, omen Man, oh man, Let's get to
Speaker 1: it here, ladies and gentlemen. We got almost three hundred
Speaker 1: people in the chat. It is one twenty one Eastern time.
Speaker 1: I imagine a lot of you are on the West
Speaker 1: coast right now. I imagine there's some grumpy Dodgers fans
Speaker 1: out there. Hey, you know what you got Yamamoto on
Speaker 1: them out here tomorrow. I'm scared to death. I am
Speaker 1: not feeling very good about that one. Here tomorrow. We
Speaker 1: got Peyton Tolly, got Peyton Tolly man, oh man, We'll
Speaker 1: talk about it. Let's talk about Ranger let's get to
Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez. We're gonna go over the scoring again with Ranger.
Speaker 1: Five pictures here tonight that he was working with he
Speaker 1: has he was going. It was interesting in the first
Speaker 1: time through the order, mostly leaning on the fastball type pitches.
Speaker 1: He was going sinkers, he was going cutters, he was
Speaker 1: going four seamers, not a whole lot of breaking stuff.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know if that was
Speaker 1: by design or if he just wasn't having a feel.
Speaker 1: But yeah, first time through the order, more fastball type pitches,
Speaker 1: and then he started using breaking balls as he went
Speaker 1: through the order. Another time, he was fine in the
Speaker 1: first few innings there, he was able to navigate. But
Speaker 1: then the fourth thning, Otani leads off with an opposite
Speaker 1: field double. Also props to zeron Duran. You know, we
Speaker 1: could say, you know whatever about Duran's bat this year,
Speaker 1: but I feel like he's doing a great job in
Speaker 1: the outfield. Instead of letting that ball get to the
Speaker 1: get all the way to the wall, he ends up
Speaker 1: getting it. You know, a Tony still had a double.
Speaker 1: We just wanted to point it out. Duran was hustling
Speaker 1: out there, Paz with a ground out Rojast with a flyout,
Speaker 1: and then Freeman ended up having getting a base hit.
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Red Sox scoring in just a second,
Speaker 1: but the at this point they'd have a three to
Speaker 1: nothing lead. That trim the lead to three to one,
Speaker 1: then Mookie grounding out, and then the fifth inning right again,
Speaker 1: Ranger just still not looking like himself. Here's how I've
Speaker 1: always felt about Ranger Suarez. He is a like a
Speaker 1: feel kind of a guy. When he's feeling good, this
Speaker 1: guy is gonna pitch great. But if something's off, you
Speaker 1: could be in for kind of a whackadoodle night for
Speaker 1: Ranger Suarez, right, you know, and considering he missed time there,
Speaker 1: this is gonna take him a little bit. You go
Speaker 1: back to the beginning of the season, right, he had
Speaker 1: kind of like this abbreviated spring training, right, you know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of like is he you know, had the
Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic, kind of had a weird ramp up
Speaker 1: those first couple of starts. You're thinking, what the heck
Speaker 1: was we signed this guy? Who the heck is this?
Speaker 1: This isn't Ranger Suarez that we saw with the Phillies.
Speaker 1: So you know, once he gets a couple of starts
Speaker 1: under his belt, maybe you know one two more. I
Speaker 1: think we'll get back to the All Star Ranger Suarez
Speaker 1: that we were seeing so again more of like a
Speaker 1: feel kind of a guy. And you could see it
Speaker 1: wasn't really there here tonight. Taoscar with a flyout, Tucker
Speaker 1: with a walk, Keyk with the bass hit. Now Alfonso
Speaker 1: with a base hit to center field. SETI ended up
Speaker 1: making a throw to second base. Keyk ran past second
Speaker 1: there ended up throwing him out. It was challenged. I
Speaker 1: actually thought Kyk got back in, and even on the replay,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I feel like he's back in, but I
Speaker 1: don't think there was enough evidence to overturn it. So
Speaker 1: I feel like he might have gotten a hand back
Speaker 1: in there. Well we'll take it, We'll take it. But
Speaker 1: that was the end of the night for Ranger. I
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna go up against Otani again, but
Speaker 1: here comes Jovanni Moran. But the final line for Ranger
Speaker 1: Suarez four and two thirds, four hits, three earned only
Speaker 1: two k's only two walks, not a whole lot of
Speaker 1: swinging miss But remember before Ranger went on the IL,
Speaker 1: he was getting a ton of swinging miss a ton
Speaker 1: of whiffs. Holy cow, not really a whole lot here tonight.
Speaker 1: It is the Dodgers, I mean, holy cow, this lineup
Speaker 1: is ridunculous, but still kind of wondering where's that swinging miss?
Speaker 1: But then here comes Giovanni Morano Otani with his twenty
Speaker 1: fourth home run, absolutely belted it into the Night of La.
Speaker 1: They give the Dodgers a four to three lead, and
Speaker 1: Moran he was able to work out of that. He
Speaker 1: was able to get around it. After that, Paz with
Speaker 1: the base hit, Rojas to fly out. We'll get back
Speaker 1: to Brian Bayo in just the second, but let's get
Speaker 1: caught up on the offense here. We do a little
Speaker 1: bit of back and forth here tonight, right because this
Speaker 1: game had a few different segments to it tonight. Also
Speaker 1: do see a couple of super chats. We'll get to
Speaker 1: those in just a little bit. Thank you for those.
Speaker 1: But like I said, the Red Sox were able to
Speaker 1: get ahead early here tonight. Durbin with a walk in
Speaker 1: the second inning, a bad pickoff attempt from Will Klein,
Speaker 1: Durbin going over the second base, Monasteria with a strikeout,
Speaker 1: but then Duran getting the party started here in La
Speaker 1: to the count, wrap all up.
Speaker 2: The metal through a pro base at that'll chase in
Speaker 2: a run. Durbin is in a score Jared Durant, who
Speaker 2: is fifty fifth RBI and a Red Sox score first tonight.
Speaker 1: Wonder so Duran, after again the the episode from last night,
Speaker 1: able to get off on the right foot here tonight.
Speaker 1: We saw a lot of negative reaction towards Jared Duran
Speaker 1: over the last twenty four hours. And you know, I'll reiterate.
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta remember I'm doing a postgame reaction,
Speaker 1: so I don't have the most time to really process things.
Speaker 1: So now that I've given a little bit more thought,
Speaker 1: you know, I still think I'm pretty much in the
Speaker 1: same place that I was yesterday. I don't think the
Speaker 1: reaction was great obviously. I mean, you know, to me,
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be, you know, motioning towards
Speaker 1: you know, your teammates or your coaches. Obviously he was
Speaker 1: not happy about Wilson not tagging up, So you know,
Speaker 1: was that more directed at Eperson? I think so, but
Speaker 1: obviously Wilson's over there. To me, it just wasn't a
Speaker 1: good look. I don't know, I get he's frustrated this year.
Speaker 1: I understand it's been a tough year. It's been statistically
Speaker 1: one of the worst Red Sox seasons offensively in Red
Speaker 1: Sox history. It's been that bad. Now, sure he's been
Speaker 1: able to drive in some runs, steal some bases, but
Speaker 1: you know, obviously Duran is not having a good year.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know the frustration spilling over. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, I think it was the right
Speaker 1: move to not tag up on that play yesterday so
Speaker 1: to strama. The great arm in the outfield wasn't hit
Speaker 1: very deep. So yeah, I'm not really sure what caused
Speaker 1: Duran to, you know, kind of freak out the way
Speaker 1: he did. I'm guessing he thought it was hit a
Speaker 1: little deeper. It is what it is, you know. It's
Speaker 1: but Chad Tracy said Tracy, he's a guy that's gonna
Speaker 1: stick up for the players no matter what. You know. Sure,
Speaker 1: you know, I see the people on social media saying, oh,
Speaker 1: you have to get more accountability out of Duran. Tracy's
Speaker 1: just not going to go there. He's going to defend
Speaker 1: his guys. But I am pretty sure they had some
Speaker 1: kind of a conversation behind closed doors, right. I think
Speaker 1: with just Duran obviously frustrated about how this year is gone,
Speaker 1: and just the way the Red Sox play. They're aggressive.
Speaker 1: You know, he's probably thinking, hey, what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Why aren't you scoring? But that was obviously the wrong
Speaker 1: way to react, especially the way he reacted. If you
Speaker 1: wanted to react that way, I mean, go do it
Speaker 1: down in the tunnel, you know, go do it in
Speaker 1: the clubhouse. You know, I know that it's pretty tight
Speaker 1: space over in the Sacramento. But yeah, I just don't
Speaker 1: think it was handled the right way. And I think
Speaker 1: even Duran will look back on that and say, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was probably kind of not the best way I
Speaker 1: could have done it. So it is what it is.
Speaker 1: We saw a lot of talk here today on the
Speaker 1: radio station saying we got to get rid of this guy,
Speaker 1: get this guy off my team. We actually did get
Speaker 1: a report that Jaron Duran the Red Sox could be
Speaker 1: open to moving Durant. You're not really gonna get a
Speaker 1: whole lot for him at this point because the down year.
Speaker 1: He still has a couple more years of control, so
Speaker 1: that still has some value in itself. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: again I've mentioned it before, I wonder if you could,
Speaker 1: you know, find like a creative scenario where he could
Speaker 1: be included in some kind of a deal to bring
Speaker 1: back like a bigger piece. I don't know. That's the
Speaker 1: only way I feel like I see Duran coming back,
Speaker 1: but with the good news with Roman knock on Wood
Speaker 1: starting to swing again pain free. Who knows something to
Speaker 1: pay attention to Anyway, I digress back to the game here.
Speaker 1: Just wanted to kind of reiterate my thoughts on Duran.
Speaker 1: So after the Red Sox score there in the third inning,
Speaker 1: so guard SETI with bass hits Will you're striking out.
Speaker 1: Then Wilson getting hit on the helmet ninety five miles
Speaker 1: an hour from Will Klein. Like I said, Wilson's a savage.
Speaker 1: This guy's a beast. He's an absolute freak. Stayed in
Speaker 1: the game to run. Will Klein ends up coming out.
Speaker 1: They bring in the next reliever, and then here comes
Speaker 1: Masa coming through. We love Masa on the left.
Speaker 2: Hander, taking on Yoshida, chopper to first base, bring it
Speaker 2: backs up to each of the line and rolls up
Speaker 2: the glove. One run.
Speaker 1: Who's in pair? Come say don ra Piela.
Speaker 2: He is in the store.
Speaker 1: So yeah, mass it was a very hard hit ball,
Speaker 1: one hundred and six and a half miles an hour.
Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman, the guy was scared to death of Masa.
Speaker 1: I mean Massa, it's Mack show Man. You can't handle Masa. Man.
Speaker 1: I don't know what Freddy Freeman was thinking, thinking that
Speaker 1: he could handle this guy. Well, he obviously found out
Speaker 1: the hard way. Masa got the best of them, like
Speaker 1: he has with so many others in the past. We
Speaker 1: love Masa. They gave the Red Sox a three nothing lead,
Speaker 1: but like I said, the Dodgers, they ended up storming back.
Speaker 1: Otani ended up giving them the home run to take
Speaker 1: the lead, and then the Red Sox over the next
Speaker 1: few winnings couldn't really get anything going. Now you're kind
Speaker 1: of wondering, Oh man, okay, here we go the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: These guys are amazing. They're getting the momentum. Looks like
Speaker 1: it's uh looks like the Dodgers could take off here.
Speaker 1: But you know what, here comes Brian BeO. Brian BeO. Man,
Speaker 1: oh man, I'm telling you, bullpen Bo there's something different
Speaker 1: about this guy. And you know what we've seen. Now
Speaker 1: you go back to read Debtner's right you know you're
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, one of the bigger trade candidates
Speaker 1: of the deadline. He went to the bullpen last year
Speaker 1: for the Angels. That was a guy who always had
Speaker 1: good stuff coming out of college. Was it Louisville if
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, Man, This guy would spin just beautiful,
Speaker 1: breaking stuff. This guy was, you know, very touted in
Speaker 1: that draft. Was twenty twenty I believe, and you know
Speaker 1: with the Angels, just couldn't really figure it out in
Speaker 1: the rotation, right. He would flash a lot of good things.
Speaker 1: So eventually they put him into the bullpen last year
Speaker 1: kind of simplified everything. And look what he's doing this year.
Speaker 1: Thanks Top ten when it comes to strikeouts, per nine,
Speaker 1: top fifteen when it comes to fangraft wins above replacement.
Speaker 1: So you know what you know, for Bao, obviously this
Speaker 1: is looking really good. You know, sticking this role for
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, maybe he ends up having it.
Speaker 1: You know, he can bounce back next year. Sometimes with starters,
Speaker 1: you know, you feel like you just get lost. But
Speaker 1: with debtmer's the big thing there. He's just really learned
Speaker 1: to simplify things. Seems like that's working for Bao right now.
Speaker 1: Lots of sinkers and changeups the first time through, and
Speaker 1: then second time through he started leaning more on the cutters.
Speaker 1: Beo's cutter is really interesting. It looks like a slider,
Speaker 1: but it registers as a cutter. It's a really interesting pitch.
Speaker 1: I thought it looked pretty good here tonight. He was
Speaker 1: getting a good amount of swing and miss. But six
Speaker 1: inningk Freeman Mookie coming up with bass hits. You're thinking,
Speaker 1: oh man, bullpen Bao, Maybe bullpen BeO is not gonna
Speaker 1: have it here tonight. But hey, he locked it down
Speaker 1: ta Oscar with the ground out. He struck out Tucker
Speaker 1: looking on a sinker top of the zone. Munsey intentionally walked,
Speaker 1: but then he got out Fonso to ground out. He
Speaker 1: had a one two three seventh. I mean the Red
Speaker 1: Sox at this point. We'll get back to the Red
Speaker 1: Sox here. But for the offense eighth inning, he worked
Speaker 1: around a Freeman and Tucker base hit. He struck out
Speaker 1: ta Oscar swinging on a nice cutter away, and then
Speaker 1: he got Mounsey to ground out to end the inning.
Speaker 1: Gave the Red Sox all they needed to storm back.
Speaker 1: In the seventh inning, Nick Soguard you're down four to
Speaker 1: three at this point, he gets on with the walk
Speaker 1: and here comes mister Seti in.
Speaker 2: The month of July, that's the most in the American League.
Speaker 1: Swinging and drive.
Speaker 2: Down a left field line. That's Dave Beckett goes. Can't
Speaker 2: sit goodbye off rid of the bullpen hand. The sucks
Speaker 2: her back on top a two run homer Bye Saint don.
Speaker 1: H twelfth home run of the year for Sadan Rafaela.
Speaker 1: What else does this man have to do to prove
Speaker 1: that he's one of the best all around players in
Speaker 1: the game. William with the base hit. After that, Masa
Speaker 1: with the south grounder down the third base line. It
Speaker 1: stays fair. Massa just does everything right. Man. You can't
Speaker 1: beat Masa Durbin with a bunt for a base hit.
Speaker 1: Munsey ended up holding onto it. Bases loaded at this point,
Speaker 1: and here comes Angril Monasterio.
Speaker 2: They're all filled up to two two lighter down the
Speaker 2: left fill line, Turpol all the way up against the fence.
Speaker 2: A Brillo is in, Yoshida is in. Durbin will be
Speaker 2: held at third Bna. Stereo, who has been an extra
Speaker 2: base machine, has delivered again.
Speaker 1: Had it that gave the red Sox a seven to
Speaker 1: four lead. Dram with a ground out later on ended
Speaker 1: up scoring Durbin to give the Red Sox an eight
Speaker 1: four lead. They added on another in the ninth inning
Speaker 1: thanks to an Urvias sack fly Durbin with his twentieth
Speaker 1: double of the year to set that up. Nine runs
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox here tonight, twelve hits. He had
Speaker 1: great defense as well. Mentioned it with Monasterio. Man, oh man,
Speaker 1: this guy had himself a really good night. Now. He
Speaker 1: didn't fill up the you know, the stat sheet offensively
Speaker 1: by any means, but came up with a big double
Speaker 1: right there, but made a couple a really good place
Speaker 1: as shortstop here tonight, fan freaking tastic BeO shuts it
Speaker 1: down in the ninth inning. Red Sox win nine to four,
Speaker 1: taking advantage you know, not great pitching from the Dodgers
Speaker 1: bullpen game here tonight, weren't great defensively here tonight. Good
Speaker 1: win for the Red Sox here, and you're going for
Speaker 1: the series win here tomorrow, And ladies and gentlemen, we
Speaker 1: got a very fun pitching matchup here tomorrow. We got
Speaker 1: Peyton totally going up against Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Yamamoto. This guy's
Speaker 1: a freak. He's an alien, He's an absolute stud. Listen
Speaker 1: what I saw in the postseason last year from Yamamoto.
Speaker 1: Let me forget it like that that one of the
Speaker 1: most easily one of the most incredible postseason runs from
Speaker 1: a picture in the history of the game. You know
Speaker 1: that goes up there. You know, you go back to
Speaker 1: like Randy Johnson back in two thousand and one of
Speaker 1: the d Backs, right, like some of those amazing postseasons.
Speaker 1: Yamamoto was incredible last year, but having himself a very
Speaker 1: good season. Taking a look at the numbers with Yamamoto here,
Speaker 1: let me actually pull up the numbers over on Fangrafts.
Speaker 1: We did talk about them last night, but we'll talk
Speaker 1: about him yet again. Nineteen starts el Ra at two
Speaker 1: point seven to two, fit at a three point three
Speaker 1: to one. The strikeouts are down with him, But I
Speaker 1: feel like that's a bit more by design, because it
Speaker 1: looks like he's really trying to just work on the
Speaker 1: command this year, because he's reduced his walk rate from
Speaker 1: three per nine in twenty twenty five to two per
Speaker 1: nine this year, So it seems like instead of trying
Speaker 1: to get all the strikeouts. Seems like he's trying to
Speaker 1: pitch a bit more to contact, maybe pitch a bit
Speaker 1: more in zone. You know what, let me actually confirm that.
Speaker 1: Let's see what is his zone percentage this year? I
Speaker 1: take that back, is his zone percentage is actually down
Speaker 1: this year, but he's getting more contact in zone. Funny enough,
Speaker 1: he's getting more guys to chase out of the zone.
Speaker 1: He's getting more guys to make more contact out of
Speaker 1: the zone as well. Sounds like this guy's just being
Speaker 1: a little extra crafty this year. Is he let me,
Speaker 1: let me check the pitch usage. Has he upped anything.
Speaker 1: He's leaning towards the splitter the most this year. He
Speaker 1: was leaning on the four seamer last year thirty five
Speaker 1: percent of the time, and then now he's reduced that
Speaker 1: by about ten percent. He's up you know, the splitter
Speaker 1: is right around the same. So it looks like he's
Speaker 1: upped his cutter usage a little bit. Okay, he's upped
Speaker 1: his sinkers as well, so he's thrown a little bit
Speaker 1: more of those. He's getting more ground balls. It looks
Speaker 1: like he's upped his sliders a little curveballs. He actually
Speaker 1: has reduced his curveball, So it looks like he's just
Speaker 1: leaning a bit more into the sinkers and the cutters,
Speaker 1: trying to get a bit more weak contact, probably, you know,
Speaker 1: pitching more on the edges of the strike zone a
Speaker 1: little bit. But obviously whatever he's pitching great. Taking a
Speaker 1: look at stat cast here, you got a lot of
Speaker 1: reds all across the board. Here, expected numbers, bat of
Speaker 1: ball profile. Again, not as much swing and miss, not
Speaker 1: as much strikeouts. But he's not really walking anyone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: moto one of the best freaking pictures on the planet.
Speaker 1: But you take a look at Peyton totally. Obviously we
Speaker 1: know the deal with Peyton totally. It's pretty simple at
Speaker 1: this point. He's gonna give you a lot of fastballs, right,
Speaker 1: He's gonna give you a lot of four siemers. He's
Speaker 1: gonna mix in the sinkers. He's gonna throw the cutters.
Speaker 1: The key to success, I think with totally, especially with
Speaker 1: this Dodger's lineup, he has got to work in more
Speaker 1: breaking stuff. He's gotta throw some more off speed. I'm
Speaker 1: a little worried about totally with this outing here tomorrow,
Speaker 1: I think it could be a really short day because
Speaker 1: we've seen before. Unless he's got he's feeling good about
Speaker 1: the breaking and off speed, if he's gonna be sitting
Speaker 1: fastballs most of the time, I don't know. I'm a
Speaker 1: little worried about that. But then again, you know, when
Speaker 1: you take a look at this Dodger's lineup, I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously you do got a lot of lefties in here,
Speaker 1: you know, Otani, Freeman, Tucker, Muncie. I'm very excited to
Speaker 1: see totally against Otani. I think it's really fun. And
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, I am just wondering, like, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously totally he's like a giant kid out there. Just
Speaker 1: the thought of him thinking, like what is going through
Speaker 1: his head when Otani comes up? I need to know, Like,
Speaker 1: I hope that is a question after the game here tomorrow. Hey,
Speaker 1: so when Otani came up, what were you thinking? I
Speaker 1: know they always like to say like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: we're just sticking to the game plan. You know, we
Speaker 1: we we we you know, we've got we're going off
Speaker 1: our scouting reports. We're thinking about that. Get out of here, Peyton. Totally,
Speaker 1: when Otani comes up tomorrow, this guy is probably gonna
Speaker 1: be like, holy crap, that's show Hal's I'm excited about that.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that Max shop. You know, obviously the
Speaker 1: hard stuff from Totally going up against Otani, that's a
Speaker 1: fun matchhup. I'm excited to see it. But again, you know,
Speaker 1: I think the breaking it off speed is a big
Speaker 1: key for him. It could be a shorter outing for Totally.
Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. And taking a look at that,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the Dodgers, I mean they have an
Speaker 1: amazing eye. But looking at how they do against left
Speaker 1: handed pitching. Against lefties this year, they are eighth in
Speaker 1: WRC plus with a one oh three. Just for giggle,
Speaker 1: how are they doing against right handed pitching? Yeah, so
Speaker 1: their first overall against right handed pitching with a one
Speaker 1: to seventeen WRC plus. So lefties they're still very good,
Speaker 1: but uh do not have as much success against righty
Speaker 1: So either way, it doesn't matter. Obviously, you saw a
Speaker 1: Ranger here tonight, didn't really matter. It's a different bit
Speaker 1: of a feel here, obviously, Ranger, more of the crafty,
Speaker 1: more of the crafty soft stuff. Right Totally's coming at
Speaker 1: you with the hard stuff. So we can actually take
Speaker 1: a look at how the Dodgers are against against different
Speaker 1: type of pitches, so obviously with totally we know what
Speaker 1: he's going to give you. So when it comes to
Speaker 1: pitch value, the Dodgers are great against four seemers. Against fastball,
Speaker 1: they are fourth overall in run value against fastballs. Against cutters,
Speaker 1: their fourth overall against sinkers. I don't know they have sinkers,
Speaker 1: change up, curveball, cutter, slider. Let me go here, Uh
Speaker 1: that's splitter. Here we go against sinkers. The Dodgers are
Speaker 1: really good against all fastball type pictures. So I mean,
Speaker 1: they're good against everything obviously, but just looking at the rankings,
Speaker 1: I mean, so you know, if you take a look
Speaker 1: at like how they do against sliders, well, second overall
Speaker 1: against sliders. Against change ups, Funny enough, the Dodgers, they're
Speaker 1: almost bottom ten when it comes to run value against
Speaker 1: change ups. It's too bad totally. He hasn't been able
Speaker 1: to get the change up figured out. So again, you know,
Speaker 1: reiterating here, I think this could be a bit of
Speaker 1: a short outing. Hopefully I'm wrong. Hopefully he can locate,
Speaker 1: he can execute his pictures. We'll see, we will see.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fun one tomorrow, Gus and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fun one. Let's get to the
Speaker 1: super chats. We had a couple of those. Let's get
Speaker 1: to those before the end of the show. Here tonight,
Speaker 1: what do we got, Steve Russo? New member sound? Do
Speaker 1: the RBI sound? They have a femway. I was thinking
Speaker 1: about doing the RBI sound. By the way, everybody, memberships
Speaker 1: are open. If you're interested, think about signing up. You
Speaker 1: get a nice little badge next to your name. You
Speaker 1: stand out in the chat a little bit more, in
Speaker 1: the comments on streams after the game, and in videos.
Speaker 1: Building up a really good member community over here. So
Speaker 1: I do appreciate that, Paul, what's going on? Arius should
Speaker 1: be up soon? Do we move Monasterio over to second base?
Speaker 1: Guys so hot with the bat? You know what, Let's
Speaker 1: take a look at Monasterio over the last I mean, goodness,
Speaker 1: I go back over the last month. I mean, the
Speaker 1: guy is just ridiculous. Let me pull this up here,
Speaker 1: I mean going back here, going back I mean the
Speaker 1: last I mean shoot over the last thirty games. He's
Speaker 1: got an OPS right under nine hundred. Over the last
Speaker 1: fifteen games, he's got a four to thirty one on base.
Speaker 1: He's got a six to fifty three slugging. I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy's just tearing it up, tearing it up. I mean,
Speaker 1: you have to keep moresterio in the lineup at this point.
Speaker 1: And you know, you know, bringing him in this year,
Speaker 1: you're thinking, this is gonna be a guy to you know,
Speaker 1: just go up against left handed pitching. But man, he
Speaker 1: is really figured things out. And you know what, let's actually, well, hal,
Speaker 1: we can go take a look at the splits, looking
Speaker 1: at the splitty splits, I mean looking at the numbers.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he's doing better against right handers. He's
Speaker 1: a nine to fifty seven ops against righties six thirty
Speaker 1: one or sorry, nine to fifty seven ops against lefties,
Speaker 1: six thirty one ops against righties. So obviously, you know
Speaker 1: he's doing the job that he was mainly brought in
Speaker 1: to do. But to see him stepping up against righty's
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Really nice to see Monasterio. He's
Speaker 1: been a breath of fresh air recently. Obviously sung Shake
Speaker 1: Shang when he was up, he was awesome. Right those
Speaker 1: two did a great job at shortstop over the last month.
Speaker 1: You just wonder what is going to be the deal
Speaker 1: with shortstop coming out of the deadline. So getting back
Speaker 1: to the super chat Arius, you can't really count on
Speaker 1: Arius right now. That's one of those things you let
Speaker 1: it just happen. You know. If he's playing well and
Speaker 1: he earns the promotion, then yeah, you know you make
Speaker 1: that call. But you know that's someone I never want
Speaker 1: to rely on prospects. It's fun to think about them
Speaker 1: coming up, but I want them to work into the equation.
Speaker 1: I don't want them to be the equation, right, I
Speaker 1: want them to be a part of the process. I
Speaker 1: don't want them to be the main figure.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: You got to have all your all your ducks in
Speaker 1: a row first, and if he can jump in, mix
Speaker 1: in just like you know, well, obviously pedroy he got
Speaker 1: the starting job. But you think about Pedroia back in
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. They called him up in six
Speaker 1: late season, but then in O seven he kind of
Speaker 1: just hid towards the bottom of the lineup, right, I
Speaker 1: mean they already had all their dudes, right, Manny Poppy Lowell,
Speaker 1: you're bringing JD. Drew, Right, You're bringing Julio Lugo that year, So,
Speaker 1: I mean Veraitech was in there so yeah, you had
Speaker 1: all your guys there already, so Pedroy was able to
Speaker 1: hide towards the bottom and then he just got himself
Speaker 1: going right. Xander Bogard's twenty thirteen Will Middlebrooks was struggling,
Speaker 1: so he eventually took over. So yeah, that's kind of
Speaker 1: the way I want Arius to be able to work in.
Speaker 1: That's where I hope they. I mean, yes, Monasterio and
Speaker 1: Shang have done a great job, but you still wonder.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's a good it's a
Speaker 1: good conversation. Are you are you buying into Monasterio keeping
Speaker 1: this up, you know, Shang maybe coming up, coming back
Speaker 1: up at some point, still contributing. Or do you go
Speaker 1: for a guy that you know is going to handle
Speaker 1: business right and you still work in Monasterio where you
Speaker 1: can And then if Arius is playing still playing well
Speaker 1: up to that point, you call him in and he
Speaker 1: works into right, then you got story. So it's gonna
Speaker 1: be really interesting how they do this deadline right, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't Yeah, of course, like you do, look at
Speaker 1: short but you always have to play to the market.
Speaker 1: If the market's not there, then you know, Craig, he's
Speaker 1: shown that he'll pivot. He did it last year, right
Speaker 1: Joe in the conversation for Joe Ryan, I mean he
Speaker 1: made a good offer with Peyton Tolly and Franklin Aarius
Speaker 1: and they said no, And the pivot was just good, right,
Speaker 1: Dustin May was your backup plan and that you know,
Speaker 1: did work. So does he end up you know, if
Speaker 1: he can't get the shortstop that he feels like is
Speaker 1: gonna make the team better, does he go for a
Speaker 1: guy that can play, but you know, go for a catcher,
Speaker 1: or does he even go for possibly like a right
Speaker 1: handed bat to go out and left field, you know,
Speaker 1: and you know plays more often than Jaron Duran. So
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what he ends up doing. And
Speaker 1: the Greham Master nineteen right, Roman Anthony coming back hopefully
Speaker 1: at some point starting to swing. But yeah, this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a really interesting trade deadline. The deadlines are always, uh,
Speaker 1: you just never know, You never know. Oh do we
Speaker 1: get a member? Oh we got a member? Justin hold on,
Speaker 1: we gotta let me Steve, let me see if I
Speaker 1: can play the We do have the RBI sound. We
Speaker 1: do have the RBI sound. We got a new member.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Justin. Let me say if I pronounced
Speaker 1: this right, Marciasini, Marshsini, I'm sorry if I'm pronouncing that wrong.
Speaker 1: My friend, Justin, thank you for becoming a Monster member.
Speaker 1: I think I like the RBI sound. I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna stick. I think we're gonna stick with that. It's nice,
Speaker 1: it's short, sweet to the point. I like it. I
Speaker 1: think the RBI sound for members is here to say,
Speaker 1: I'm liking that. All right, Justin, I got it right. Oh,
Speaker 1: we got a super chat Justin again, thank you so much. Uh,
Speaker 1: we got a super chat coming in from Matt. It's
Speaker 1: funny that we're shopping for middle infielders because there are
Speaker 1: surplus of infielders with Story Monastery, O Chang, so guard Meyer,
Speaker 1: Mead and Siegler. I know there's a lot of them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you kind of wonder, like I'm curious. It's
Speaker 1: one thing if you know, like if you can go
Speaker 1: for a clean, your bona fide guy, right, like if
Speaker 1: you're able to bring in zach Netto, who you know
Speaker 1: is gonna give you pop with some speed, maybe you know,
Speaker 1: even like someone like c. J. Abrams Otto Lopez. Right. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: we got the report here today that that might not
Speaker 1: be happening. Talks have not been happening with the Red
Speaker 1: Sox and the Marlin, so we'll see. Things can change
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. But uh yeah, I mean, you've got a
Speaker 1: lot of guys in the mix. Sim Meyer. I mean,
Speaker 1: who knows what ends up happening with him. I imagine
Speaker 1: he's probably if he ends up coming back, he'll probably
Speaker 1: being triple A. But then you know, stories gonna be
Speaker 1: coming back, So yeah, I don't know. Based on if
Speaker 1: they weren't playing well over the last month, this conversation
Speaker 1: could be different. And it is interesting. It is interesting
Speaker 1: because obviously Monasteria is looking really good, So yeah, do
Speaker 1: they go for a catcher to give you a bit more,
Speaker 1: a bit more pop? Do they go for a guy
Speaker 1: that can maybe can play go out and play some
Speaker 1: left DH a little bit. It's interesting, it's interesting, But everybody,
Speaker 1: I'm out of here now. I'm starting to feel pretty tired.
