Speaker 1: Walking about the territory the ladies and gentlemen out. Another
Speaker 1: tough knight for the Red Sox here, fifth straight lost,
Speaker 1: second time this year. Second or this is second time
Speaker 1: this year with five straight losses. But you got to
Speaker 1: go back all the way to late May, since they've
Speaker 1: lost back to back series against the Twins and the Braves.
Speaker 1: Final score to night sixty four record follows to sixty
Speaker 1: four and fifty six. Just another frustrating night. Nice little
Speaker 1: comeback there in the ninth inning, but it was too little,
Speaker 1: too late at that point. Hopefully that can be some
Speaker 1: momentum for the offense tomorrow with Peyton totally taking the hill.
Speaker 1: But just another frustrating one here tonight. Just not again,
Speaker 1: not talking about the ninth inning, but up to that
Speaker 1: point because not a lot of competitive abs, not a
Speaker 1: lot of traffic on the bases, not a lot of
Speaker 1: good quality contact. You know, Wilson Contreras, Hey, we were
Speaker 1: talking yesterday. Man. Maybe Wilson, you know, could use a
Speaker 1: little bit of a breather, maybe, you know, week off
Speaker 1: or so, maybe a trip to the il. He's been
Speaker 1: banged up. But he said, hey, uh, I'm all good,
Speaker 1: I'm all good here and he went home. He went
Speaker 1: deep here tonight. Other than that, nothing else, you know,
Speaker 1: another mishap on the basis here is SETI just way
Speaker 1: too over aggressive here tonight he moved over to second
Speaker 1: base on a wild pitch, tried to take third as well.
Speaker 1: I've said it time and time again. I'm okay with
Speaker 1: aggressive base running, but when you try to stick your
Speaker 1: hand a little too far in the cookie jar, that's
Speaker 1: what I don't like. I just don't understand that. You
Speaker 1: get yourself into scoring position, but you try to take more.
Speaker 1: I get it. You know, the offense they've been pushing lately,
Speaker 1: I totally understand that. But I mean with Seti's speed
Speaker 1: at second base, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: that's just me. I can understand though they've been pressing.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a little more there. But in
Speaker 1: that situation, it just, in my opinion, wasn't good awareness
Speaker 1: of the situation. Maybe a different situation, sure, but in
Speaker 1: that case, while pitch, you know, it gets away from Kirk,
Speaker 1: I don't know, just not worth it. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: it is what it is. But overall, the offense another
Speaker 1: tough night, and looking at the numbers here looking at
Speaker 1: the numbers, if you go back to the beginning of
Speaker 1: July to this past Friday, before this five game losing streak,
Speaker 1: they were eighth in walk percentage and fifth in barrel percentage.
Speaker 1: Not a lot of exit v loh, believe it or not,
Speaker 1: actually bottom ten in exit V low during that great stretch,
Speaker 1: but fifth in barrel percentage. Over this five game losing streak,
Speaker 1: they're third in walk percentage, so they're still getting the
Speaker 1: base runners right, still getting on, but thirtieth in barrel
Speaker 1: percentag Just not a lot of good quality contact. What
Speaker 1: you might be asking, Robert, what do you mean very
Speaker 1: barrel percentage. Well, the more you can barrow the ball,
Speaker 1: the better quality contact you're going to get. So you're
Speaker 1: just not getting a lot of that with the Red
Speaker 1: Sox during this stretch here. It's tough. They're trying to
Speaker 1: fight through. And again maybe this ninth inning here tonight
Speaker 1: hopefully is a sign moving forward here over the next
Speaker 1: couple of games. So it is what it is, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the bullpen obviously not a great night for Tyrone Guerrero.
Speaker 1: He's been very good this year. Listen, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to expect someone to be that perfect all year. I
Speaker 1: mean it was due to happen, Tyrone having a bad outing,
Speaker 1: Alec Gamboa couldn't stop the bleeding. Slaton and Miller they
Speaker 1: were great before them, but you know, just the rough
Speaker 1: eighth inning, rough eight inning, and too bad for Ranger.
Speaker 1: I felt Ranger did pretty well here tonight. Eighty one pitches,
Speaker 1: built up that pitch count a little bit more. Not
Speaker 1: a lot of swing and miss, which expected against the
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, they're a high contact team. They don't really
Speaker 1: strike out all that much. But he figured it out
Speaker 1: here tonight. He threw a lot of strikes, way more
Speaker 1: than his last outing against the White Sox. His strike
Speaker 1: percentage was up about ten percent compared to the last outing.
Speaker 1: Give him a few hard hit balls, give up a run,
Speaker 1: but overall, a lot of weak contacts would have liked
Speaker 1: for him to go deeper. But you got to remember
Speaker 1: they're trying to build that pitch count up with him
Speaker 1: and get him back into a good place. You got
Speaker 1: to remember with Ranger, over the years, he's had injuries,
Speaker 1: he's had nagging injuries. You gotta progress that volume little
Speaker 1: by little, right, So I can understand holding him at
Speaker 1: eighty one pitches at this point. It was an increase
Speaker 1: over the last couple of outings, so hopefully they can
Speaker 1: let him go a little longer. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: But in the end, you know, you want your starter
Speaker 1: to be able to go a little deeper. What can
Speaker 1: you do? But again, you know, the ninth inning, Yeah,
Speaker 1: good to see the bats waking up, but not enough
Speaker 1: in the end, not enough. Welcome to the chat, everybody,
Speaker 1: how are we doing? Welcome to the show. We got
Speaker 1: a lot of familiar faces here, We got some members.
Speaker 1: Some will hoar at what's going on? My friend? How
Speaker 1: you doing? What's going on? Everybody? Welcome, Welcome. We'll get
Speaker 1: through this one pretty quickly here tonight. We'll get to
Speaker 1: Peyton Totley versus Max Scherzer for tomorrow. Let's get to
Speaker 1: Ranger here now. Like I said, you know, it wasn't
Speaker 1: you know, strikeout city for Ranger Suarez here tonight, like
Speaker 1: we saw the last time in Toronto where he went
Speaker 1: eight innings, one hit aloud and ten strikeouts overall that
Speaker 1: in that outing, but tonight, a different approach, more contact
Speaker 1: here tonight. He didn't really switch up a whole lot
Speaker 1: during this outing. He was pretty consistent all the way through.
Speaker 1: He saw a lot of four seemers. He saw a
Speaker 1: lot of breaking pictures. Now he did go more sinker
Speaker 1: first time through the order, second time more cutters, but
Speaker 1: other than that he was pretty steady all the way
Speaker 1: through using the kitchen sink. Had a one two three
Speaker 1: first inning. Second inning, did give up a run, though
Speaker 1: he strikes out Kirk to start it off, and then
Speaker 1: Okamoda with a double Clement with a bass hit. The
Speaker 1: guy's as pesky as they can come. Uh one nothing
Speaker 1: Blue Jays at that point. He steals second, Hayesus sang
Speaker 1: Chez with a walk, and then Straw with a flyout.
Speaker 1: Third and fourth inning worked around a couple of base hits.
Speaker 1: Fifth inning, he gets Straw to ground out McAdoo Bateman
Speaker 1: back to back base hits. Now, Vlad, they had a
Speaker 1: chance here, Lad with a liner to Willier and Willier.
Speaker 1: I mean, we just saw a great defensive play from
Speaker 1: Willier last night, and he keeps it going here, doubles
Speaker 1: off Bateman, who was a little to a little too
Speaker 1: far off first base, and he doubled him off. Man.
Speaker 1: Willier is so good in the outfield again, you're looking
Speaker 1: for silver linings. There was one here tonight. Up with
Speaker 1: the final line for Ranger. Five inning, six hits, one earned,
Speaker 1: two strikeouts, one walk on the evening. Now we'll get
Speaker 1: back to the bullpen in just a second. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about the offense. Jose Soriato man, he looked nasty here tonight,
Speaker 1: good v lo anywhere from ninety six ninety nine tons
Speaker 1: of sinkers, good looking curve, good looking split, a lot
Speaker 1: of weak contact himself. He didn't give up a hit
Speaker 1: until the fourth inning. Masa with a line out SETI
Speaker 1: with a base hit Soriano, wild pitch on a splitter,
Speaker 1: It goes to Kirk's right SETI takes second base, tries
Speaker 1: to take third, thrown out easily at third base by McAdoo. Again,
Speaker 1: I'm okay with aggressive base running, but there's just there
Speaker 1: comes a time and place right you gotta have awareness.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Rotchman grounding out after that, But then the fifth inning,
Speaker 1: here comes Wilson. Like we've talked about, he's been looking
Speaker 1: a little rough lately. You're looking for something from Wilson
Speaker 1: had a good ab on the ninth pitch, he steps.
Speaker 2: Up breaking balls, swinging a drive out to left field
Speaker 2: that's in a long way and that baby's gone. Oh
Speaker 2: Ron Wilson Contreras number twenty.
Speaker 1: Four, twenty four boppers on the year for Wilson Contreras.
Speaker 1: That's how the game at won. But after that nothing else. Soriano,
Speaker 1: he had himself a good outing here for the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: Six innings, four hits, one earned at, four strikeouts, a
Speaker 1: couple of walks. Now against the bullpen, well against the
Speaker 1: Red Sox bullpen. The Blue Jays they got it done. Now,
Speaker 1: Slayton and Miller, they were very good, very good in
Speaker 1: the sixth and the seventh. But then here comes the
Speaker 1: eighth inning, Tyrone Guerrero coming out against the middle of
Speaker 1: the Toronto order. I mean, you could tell the command
Speaker 1: was just off with him. He was just having a
Speaker 1: hard time throwing strikes. And you you have gotta throw
Speaker 1: strikes against the Blue Jays. You just have to. You
Speaker 1: got to make quality pitches. This is a team that's
Speaker 1: gonna put the bat on the ball. They're not going
Speaker 1: to strike out, so you got to beat him in
Speaker 1: the zone, and he was just having trouble finding the zone.
Speaker 1: Vlad Kirk with bass hits Okamoto. Oh here's another one.
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention this in the intro. Okamoto foul
Speaker 1: pop up. Actually, let me correct myself. It was a
Speaker 1: pop up in field fly, but Wilson dropped it in
Speaker 1: foul territory, so instead the instead of Okamota being out there,
Speaker 1: the ab continues, Wilson charged with an error, and like
Speaker 1: we've said a million times, I feel like this has
Speaker 1: happened like it feels like it's happened like ten times
Speaker 1: up to this point. But when in both you know,
Speaker 1: in favor of the Red Sox and against the Red Sox,
Speaker 1: feels like this has happened a lot. After you drop
Speaker 1: a ball into foul territory, it feels like time and
Speaker 1: time again. A batter takes advantage, and what does Okamoto do?
Speaker 1: He takes advantage. Next pitch, base hit to left that
Speaker 1: gives the Blue Jays a two to one lead. Tyrone
Speaker 1: walks Andre Simenez intentionally to load up the bases. Clement
Speaker 1: basses loaded walk made a three to one. That was
Speaker 1: it for Tyrone. Guerrero Alec Gamboa came in spring over
Speaker 1: the sack fly straw with a double that made a
Speaker 1: six to one, and luckily after that you were able
Speaker 1: to get calm it down a little bit. After that,
Speaker 1: Macadoo did bloop one in, but then Bateman popped out
Speaker 1: in a bun attempt. Vlad coming up for the second
Speaker 1: time in the inning, flies out to Willier and the
Speaker 1: Red Sox. Like I said, like I said, you know
Speaker 1: you had some stuff going in the ninth inning, you
Speaker 1: weren't able to do anything. Seventh in the eighth inning,
Speaker 1: you know, Mason flew hardy with a one two three inning.
Speaker 1: Eighth inning, you know, Mona had a swinging bunt. He
Speaker 1: ends up beating out the throat to first base, so
Speaker 1: guard soft ground ball to short. Mona gets the second,
Speaker 1: but Masa SETI couldn't do anything. Well, Masa, It's I've
Speaker 1: said this time and time again. Man, I want Massa
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be batting in this lineup, he's just,
Speaker 1: at least to me, he's just such a perfect fit
Speaker 1: batting like fifth or six. Like I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is like leadoff spot. You would think he would
Speaker 1: be really good out of the leadoff spot because he
Speaker 1: usually just gives you a really good ab But I
Speaker 1: don't know, he's Oh, he's been okay in his career
Speaker 1: at a leadoff spot, but he's been better further down
Speaker 1: in the order. Maybe Roman Anthony can finally be the
Speaker 1: solution for the leadoff spot for the Red Sox when
Speaker 1: he comes back. Knock um Wood, knock m Wood there.
Speaker 1: But after that ninth innink Matt waldrin in. You got
Speaker 1: a five run lead at this point. Wilson with a walk,
Speaker 1: will your opposite field double. Durbham with a base hit
Speaker 1: made a six to two. Duram with a with a double,
Speaker 1: made it six to three. Mona with a sack fly
Speaker 1: made it six to four, but so guard he grounds
Speaker 1: out to end the game. And that was it for
Speaker 1: your Boston Red Sox ladies and gentlemen. Final score six
Speaker 1: to four. Blue Jays, they get twelve hits on the
Speaker 1: night the Red Sox get eight. You make it. Wilson
Speaker 1: Contrero so the narre SETI with a blunder on the bases,
Speaker 1: just once again, not your night. I see a lot
Speaker 1: of panic. I see a lot of panic out there.
Speaker 1: You know what, you know. I don't like these waves.
Speaker 1: I don't like the huge wave that we had there
Speaker 1: for over a month. And obviously you got this pretty
Speaker 1: low wave here, right, you know, I kind of want
Speaker 1: I think things are gonna kind of sustain themselves here eventually.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. You know, this Blue Jays team,
Speaker 1: they played the Red Sox tough all year. I said
Speaker 1: this yesterday. I hate playing the Blue Jays. I hate
Speaker 1: when the Red Sox play the Blue Jays. It's like
Speaker 1: a nightmare, especially at that stadium, right the fans they
Speaker 1: get so loud for the Blue Jays there, they got
Speaker 1: the uh, they got just all the all the music
Speaker 1: playing and everything. It's just it's like a nightmare. It's
Speaker 1: like tropic and a field, you know, that's what they
Speaker 1: got the cow bell over there. It's just. Man, just
Speaker 1: hate going to these places. You know, at least at
Speaker 1: least with the Orioles. In Baltimore, it's nice. At that stadium, well,
Speaker 1: it's always such a I mean those you know, Toronto
Speaker 1: Rogers Center. It's looks pretty good after they've remodeled it.
Speaker 1: But in Baltimore at least he got a nice, pretty
Speaker 1: stadium there. Right. Anyway, I hate going to Toronto. They've
Speaker 1: had a tough time against the Blue Jays this year.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. Hopefully Peyton totally can get
Speaker 1: things on track tomorrow. Before we get to that, though,
Speaker 1: quick word from our sponsor, We'll be right back.

Speaker 1: All righty, before we move on to tomorrow's game. We
Speaker 1: got a report from Chris Catillo Garrett Whitlock was unavailable
Speaker 1: tonight because he's dealing with elbow inflammation. The Red Sox
Speaker 1: will check on him tomorrow. Man oh man, Uh cannot
Speaker 1: have Garrett Whitlock dealing with elbow issues right now? Is
Speaker 1: when it rains or the Red Sox it pours? Can
Speaker 1: we please cut this out? Please cut this out? Also,
Speaker 1: we got a super chat. Let me get to the
Speaker 1: super chat here really quick before we move on from APB.
Speaker 1: The series is lazy play, lazy coaching. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: I think you could say, but then you can even say,
Speaker 1: like we just see here tonight over aggressiveness, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just feels like nothing is going their way. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't want to say lazy. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you could say I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're feeling exactly. I would like
Speaker 1: to think maybe some guys are a little banged up,
Speaker 1: Maybe some guys are feeling it a little bit. I
Speaker 1: would like to think that. I'm not gonna say these
Speaker 1: guys are being lazy, but you know they're sluggish, right,
Speaker 1: they're obviously not playing the way they were. You know,
Speaker 1: you feel like everything was going right for them before.
Speaker 1: You just had better abs, You're making better contact. You know,
Speaker 1: it felt like the felt like the pitching every single
Speaker 1: game minus a couple where they're high scoring games like
Speaker 1: the White Sox game, but you felt like the pitching
Speaker 1: was just in such a good place. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Nothing's just nothing's clicking right now, nothing is lining up
Speaker 1: right now. I think eventually it's gonna stabilize. You just
Speaker 1: you were putting up just like this record kind of
Speaker 1: a stretch, like holy cow, Like the amount of games
Speaker 1: they were able to win in that stretch it was ridiculous,
Speaker 1: which is obviously not sustainable long term, you know, so
Speaker 1: luckily you won so many games then you can afford
Speaker 1: a bit of a stretch here. I think things are
Speaker 1: gonna stabilize eventually. Anyway, we'll see Peyton totally. Let's see
Speaker 1: if he can get the stabilization underway going up against
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer here tomorrow. Now my key for Peyton totally
Speaker 1: here tomorrow. You might be thinking, all right, he's struck
Speaker 1: out fourteen guys against the A's last time. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's strike out guys left and right. I
Speaker 1: actually don't think that's the key, or at least that's not.
Speaker 1: You know, you shouldn't be looking to be getting whiffs
Speaker 1: left him right, especially against this team. I think you
Speaker 1: got to kind of follow what Ranger did here tonight.
Speaker 1: Throw strikes, throwing zone, get weak contact. They're gonna swing
Speaker 1: the bat, they're gonna make a lot of contact, they're
Speaker 1: not gonna strike out. Play into that. Use that to
Speaker 1: your advantage. Get the weak contact. Go the three different
Speaker 1: types of fastballs. Yeh. Keep using the curve ball. Holy cow,
Speaker 1: the curveball looked great last time. Keep using that. These
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, you know again, you know you got to
Speaker 1: try and keep them off balance as much as possible, because,
Speaker 1: like I said, they're gonna swing the bats. So yeah,
Speaker 1: use those pitches. But that's the key and totally last time.
Speaker 1: Look at what he did was pounding the zone last time.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna be able to get as
Speaker 1: many whiffs as he did last time, but that I
Speaker 1: think is the key for him tomorrow now against Scherzer
Speaker 1: obviously hasn't had a great season up to this point.
Speaker 1: Now taking a look here, he's getting guys to chase.
Speaker 1: He's not giving up a ton of eggsavilla overall, but
Speaker 1: he's not getting swing and miss, he's not getting strikeouts.
Speaker 1: He's walking a good mind of guys giving up a
Speaker 1: ton of barrels. You know, Schuzer is at the end
Speaker 1: of his career, and you know he got an ERA
Speaker 1: of a seven point two five. The FIP isn't a
Speaker 1: lot better if we look at the run values here,
Speaker 1: you know, sure, you know changeup has been good for him.
Speaker 1: Batter's only hitting one seventy nine against it. But slider
Speaker 1: has been awful for him. It's got a negative seven
Speaker 1: four seemer. It's basically it's breaking even. Batter's hitting two
Speaker 1: seventy three, slugging four fifty five against it. You know,
Speaker 1: looking at his last outing, let's take a look sie
Speaker 1: at what we got against Shreser. Now he's looked better
Speaker 1: the last few outings. See Now, a lot of the
Speaker 1: bad numbers come from before he went on the il.
Speaker 1: The last few starts has looked a little better. Five
Speaker 1: and a third against the Phillies, gave up five hits
Speaker 1: to earned, but he gave up two home runs six
Speaker 1: innings against the Cardinals. Four hits, one earned, five ks.
Speaker 1: That was a good quality start form, But you look
Speaker 1: at the last out and two home runs, you know
Speaker 1: you're looking to do some kind of damage against Shures
Speaker 1: are here tomorrow and again obviously, you know, it looked
Speaker 1: like he was he was getting the he was feeling
Speaker 1: a little banged up before that il stint. Seems to
Speaker 1: be feeling better here, but you got to try and
Speaker 1: take advantage here. We'll see, We'll see what they can
Speaker 1: do moving on here. Let's see what we got going
Speaker 1: on the chat. What's going on everybody? How are we doing? Josh,
Speaker 1: wouldn't matter if we had crochet. This team can't hit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're going through a tough spell. We know they can hit.
Speaker 1: We know they can now, So I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: they can't because obviously we saw it right now. They're
Speaker 1: just hit a tough stretch, you know. Christopher in the
Speaker 1: chat walk shares are goes seven inning, zero earned. I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: he's got a couple of starts under his belt since
Speaker 1: going on the I l well, a few few starts.
Speaker 1: He went a pretty short outing the first time back.
Speaker 1: I don't think he even got through three. But you know,
Speaker 1: he got some innings under his belt. Now, who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe you end up getting a good performance from Chers tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Swahara in the chat, I believe he had some news.
Speaker 1: Sahara in the chat says, it's all good, guys. I
Speaker 1: got inside information that Delta is sabotaging the plane as
Speaker 1: we speak. Delta, we need your help, if you're listening, please,
Speaker 1: we need a bad flight. We need it, We need it,
Speaker 1: We need it. Colin McKeon saying free Franklin. Franklin aris, Man,
Speaker 1: he's been hitting good at Triple A. And you know
Speaker 1: who else is hitting good at Triple A. You know
Speaker 1: who else? You know who almost had a home run today,
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell. Look, I've been seeing a lot of talk
Speaker 1: about Christian Campbell. I listen. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: Red Sox are thinking behind the scenes, but the way
Speaker 1: he's hitting, Man, the way he's hitting, he's looking good.
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's hot. The guy is red hot.
Speaker 1: He's got an ops over nine hundred going back the
Speaker 1: last few weeks or so, last month or so. The
Speaker 1: guy's just off the sharks. He's making hard contact, the
Speaker 1: swings are looking better. I mean today on the double
Speaker 1: that he hit in Wooster almost went out. It was
Speaker 1: a it was a fastball on the inside part of
Speaker 1: the plate, and he just turned on it like it
Speaker 1: just looked natural. And that's something you didn't see a
Speaker 1: lot last year when he was struggling the way he
Speaker 1: did that inside part of the plate. He was just
Speaker 1: getting attacked and he couldn't do anything. And so but
Speaker 1: now you see those improvements. So excited to see Campbell
Speaker 1: performing the way he is. Obviously, you got to see
Speaker 1: it at the major league level, right. How many times
Speaker 1: have we seen guys where they look great at Triple
Speaker 1: A and then the major leagues? You know, you see
Speaker 1: a different story, right. But with Christiane Campbell, the way
Speaker 1: he's hitting, I do wonder at some point if he
Speaker 1: is going to get a shot, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people say put Duran on
Speaker 1: the bench, send Duran down, and you know, call it
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell. It's a little more complicated than that, in
Speaker 1: my opinion. The Red Sox, obviously they've made a long
Speaker 1: term commitment to Campbell. He's not obviously just you know,
Speaker 1: a young player, but he's not a contract So you
Speaker 1: got to think from the Red sox point of view,
Speaker 1: they want to make sure before he comes back up
Speaker 1: to the major leagues that he has checked off as
Speaker 1: many boxes as he can, right. They want to make
Speaker 1: sure that it's not just about the numbers, It's about
Speaker 1: the swing decisions, how he's working the counts, the quality
Speaker 1: of contact, right, not just inside part of the plate,
Speaker 1: you know, being able to pull, not being able to
Speaker 1: go opera. Right. They're looking at a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: different things, right, looking at the finer details with him,
Speaker 1: because the next time they call him up, they don't
Speaker 1: want him to fall into any traps again, you know,
Speaker 1: and fall into some you know, another kind of a slump, right,
Speaker 1: So I don't think they're going to just get him
Speaker 1: up just to get him up. They're gonna be careful
Speaker 1: with him. And if there does come a time over
Speaker 1: the next month or so, where Because you also wonder
Speaker 1: what the current roster, right, you know, with Roman coming
Speaker 1: back here soon, where's he going to play? You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know Duran. I wonder if they would send
Speaker 1: him down with Duran obviously, like I've said a million times,
Speaker 1: sure the numbers are down this year, but he still
Speaker 1: brings a lot of skill set to the table. You know,
Speaker 1: I wonder what the Red Sox would think there. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but you know, you got to figure out
Speaker 1: what what you got at the major league level here,
Speaker 1: what you got with the current roster. How do you
Speaker 1: fit him in? I think at the very least you
Speaker 1: could see him get called up to get some AB's
Speaker 1: what when the Triple A season is over. I think
Speaker 1: you could see that. But then again, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, who knows maybe at some point that they
Speaker 1: feel like he could be a better option than say,
Speaker 1: you know, Duran or one of the right handed hitters
Speaker 1: off the bench. You know, I don't know. It's it's interesting.
Speaker 1: You know you got Jamaike Jones, Eli White. I mean,
Speaker 1: could Campbell say, I don't know, but Jones he's been
Speaker 1: hitting really well against lefty since coming to the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: Eli White, you know, not too much so I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. White. He brings you that speed,
Speaker 1: he brings you the good defense of the outfield. That's
Speaker 1: I think A big thing with Eli White is he
Speaker 1: can play all three outfield spots. You know, with Campbell
Speaker 1: has that athleticism, But do you trust him as much
Speaker 1: as White in all three outfield spots, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not counting out Christian Campbell possibly coming up at
Speaker 1: some point. It's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 1: Arrius though, getting back to Oris, you know, I mean
Speaker 1: you wonder, you just wonder September could you see him?
Speaker 1: Could you see him before August thirty? First, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Only time will tell. Op in the chet, can we
Speaker 1: trade Durant for a sandwich? Man? I could use a
Speaker 1: sandwich after all this losing. That sounds pretty good. Honestly,
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna have a sandwich before I go
Speaker 1: to bed tonight. That sounds pretty good. So with that said,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I think, guy, I'm gonna wrap things
Speaker 1: up here one more in the chat, Sahara, listen, I
Speaker 1: know nothing about stats or whatever. I just know Duran
Speaker 1: is a black hole in this lineup. Yeah, you know, obviously,
Speaker 1: I mean he had the double are in the ninth,
Speaker 1: but it's it's about the consistency with him. So I
Speaker 1: do wonder if the Red Sox go a different round.
Speaker 1: I mean obviously with Roman, I don't know. But then
Speaker 1: you think about, like, you know, you just got so
Speaker 1: many guys, right, because even when Roman comes back, it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: well now you're back to that old predicament of the
Speaker 1: consistent playing time with the outfielders. Right now you're back
Speaker 1: to having all these guys, right, Roman, Seti, Williard, Duran, Masa. Right,
Speaker 1: it's a lot. So now you got that that problem again.
Speaker 1: So how do you figure that out? So then you again,
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell, how would he work into that mix? You know?
Speaker 1: So it's a lot, man, it's a lot. And Christopher,
Speaker 1: you know Roman full time DH. I think you probably
Speaker 1: end up seeing him d H a bit more often,
Speaker 1: especially especially the first couple of weeks. I imagine they
Speaker 1: would want to get him in the outfield a bit.
Speaker 1: But I wonder obviously when he comes back, you want
Speaker 1: to kind of ease him in as much as possible, right,
Speaker 1: you know, obviously playing in the outfield that's just you know,
Speaker 1: more wear and tear. So you know, I could see
Speaker 1: him dhing more often. We'll see how it goes, you know.
Speaker 1: And you say in the chat Christopher with Masa, do
Speaker 1: you I don't know, do you DFA him? It's so interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm very curious how this roster is going to look
Speaker 1: in September. Very curious because I think you could make
Speaker 1: a case for a lot of things. And another thing
Speaker 1: with Roman, like I've said before, I mean, obviously, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's like the future of the Red Sox, But how
Speaker 1: is he going to be looking when he comes back?
Speaker 1: So you think about that too, you know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just want to win a game before I start
Speaker 1: thinking about all of that stuff. I would like to
Speaker 1: just get a win back here. That would be really nice.
Speaker 1: That'd be really nice. Can we do that please? I'm
