1 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: Everyone, how you doing. Welcome Massa Territory, Welcome back a 2 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: bummer of a Saturday night, bummer for Saturday nights. I'm 3 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I was a little run 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: down today. I thought I was coming down with something 5 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: like a cold or whatever. I don't know. I couldn't 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: sleep well really last night. Just you know, you know 7 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: that feeling where you're just you're not exactly tired, but 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: your body's just not really moving. That's how I was today, 9 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: and that's how it looked like for the Red Sox 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: here tonight against show t Imanaga and the Cubs. Fourth 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: shutout on the season. Actually, believe it or not, that 12 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: is still one of the lowest totals of Major League Baseball. 13 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: I was pretty surprised about that. But you know, hey, 14 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: the kind of the way the Red Sox have come 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: out of the gates here in the first couple of games. 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to jump to conclusions here. I'm not 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: trying to be that guy. I'm not gonna lie though. 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: It's given me some memories of last year. Remember the 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: Red Sox, they were looking all right going into the 20 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: All Star break. They'd faced the Dodgers, right after it 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: ended up getting swept. They lost seven out of nine 22 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: to the Dodgers, the Rockies, the Yankees. You know, they 23 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: went through that tough stretch and I'm making some moves 24 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: at the deadline, but ended up being to no avail. Uh. 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna lie. It's I'm not saying 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna it's given fully giving me those memories. This 27 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: is a different team, obviously much more talent, but you'd 28 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: like to see a bit of a better fight here 29 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: in the first couple of games. All right, yesterday, a 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: lot of sloppy play defensively on the base pats not 31 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: coming through with the runners in scoring position. But the 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: theme of tonight e Managa was just incomplete control. And 33 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: that was another bad memory for me. Remember the Red 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: Sox they were in the Emanaga sweepstakes a couple of 35 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: offseasons ago. Right, You had a few teams involved, but 36 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: the Red Sox were very high on them. They didn't 37 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: want to go a long term deal with him. I 38 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: believe they weren't willing to go more than two years. 39 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: Might have been three, can't fully remember off the top 40 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: of my head. But the Cubs they were willing to 41 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: go a little longer for him, and here he is 42 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: dominating the Red Sox here tonight. And remember last year too, 43 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: he did very well against the Red Sox. So I'm 44 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: not gonna lie. You know when I watch Imanaga here 45 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: tonight and uh kind of shows you really the Red Sox. 46 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: I said this yesterday and we all know this. They 47 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: need to make an upgrade in this rotation. Right, Ema 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: Naga to me is I think a perfect example of 49 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: a number two in the rotation. Right with the Cubs. 50 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: You could say, right, he's their ace. I would say, 51 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: you know, Ima Naga, if you had him as your 52 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: two in that rotation, that would be awesome. That would 53 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: be so good for the Cubs if they were able 54 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: to get a one and then you had Emanaga, you know, 55 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: to go to for a game two situation like that'd 56 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: be perfect. But that showed you right there. The Red 57 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: Sox need a guy like that. And you know, Brian 58 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: Bao quality start tonight. Nothing wrong with Brian Bayo here 59 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: tonight at all. Quality start. Gave up a couple of 60 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: homers along the way, but he kept in the ballgame 61 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: for the most part. But I Managa just completely shut 62 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: the Red Sox down. Here tonight, only six hits, ten strikeouts, 63 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: zero for five with runners in scoring position. He Managa, 64 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: Man's it's it's so. I'm not gonna say I had 65 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: fun watching this tonight, obviously because the Red Sox losing here, 66 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: but it a part of me enjoys watching him pitch. 67 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: I can't help because I love pitching, right, I love 68 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: the art of pitching, and with im Monaga, he's just 69 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: very fascinating to watch because he's not a guy that's 70 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: gonna blow you away. He's not a guy that's gonna 71 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: pump in ninety five up to one hundred miles an hour. 72 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: This guy's gonna be sitting low nineties. You know, he's 73 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: gonna be working in different offspeed breaking pitches, but with 74 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: his fastball, it's sitting low nineties and it just has 75 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: this harry on, It has this life to it. And 76 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: that's what made him, you know, so intriguing to a 77 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: lot of teams out there, a guy like you know again, 78 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: he's not even pumping gas and he just completely dominates you. 79 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: It's it's pretty whacked order to watch, in my opinion. 80 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 1: Even on his splitter tonight, his splitter ough so good. 81 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: He had ten whiffs on his splitter tonight, seven balls 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: in play on it, sixty five mon hour average exit 83 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: v low off his splitter. I mean, the Red Sox 84 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: couldn't do anything. They were looking silly here tonight just 85 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: goes to show they need something at the top of 86 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: the rotation behind Garrett Crochet. And I think this is 87 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: a bit of a wake up call. I said this yesterday, 88 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: so I'm kind of repeating myself, but I think even 89 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: more so now, especially if you're gonna be going up 90 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: against the guy you know at that level, not Imnaga necessarily, 91 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: but at that level, you're gonna have to counter that. 92 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: In the postseason, right if you get to the Division 93 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: round five game series, you're going up against the guy 94 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: of that caliber, you are going to have to counter that. 95 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: I mean, again, no disrespect to Bao. He was fine tonight, 96 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: but I like Bao in a Game three or a 97 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: Game four, that's kind of I say, game three, I'm 98 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: okay with Giolito, Bao, whatever it may be. Game two, though, 99 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: you need, you need something better to match up against 100 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: the guy like that. It is what it is. It 101 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: is what it is, right. Also, another interesting fact, another 102 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: interesting fact last year through one hundred games. Guess what 103 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: the Red Sox record was, fifty three and forty seven. 104 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: Let me just double check, is the uh is that 105 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: the same record? Yes, that is the That is the 106 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: current record for the Red Sox as we speak, fifty 107 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: three and forty seven, just like last year. I do 108 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: think this is a different team, obviously obviously obviously it's 109 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: a different team. But I have more hopes for this team. 110 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: I'd say, in the end, you know, you lost this series. 111 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: Let's see if they can go out there tomorrow, go 112 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: pick up the game three wins. Savage of the series. 113 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: But this was a wake up call absolutely. I mean, sure, 114 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: national League team, right, obviously not going to run into them, 115 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: you know, in the American League postseason, but uh, just 116 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: goes to they are a really good team. I was 117 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: very high on the Cubs coming into the year. Kyle Tucker, 118 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: that guy's a menace. He's an absolute savage. Cam Rosenthal 119 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: also put this out here, speaking of Kyle Tucker, we're 120 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: getting where we're seeing a lot of him here this weekend. 121 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: Cam Rosenthal put out the idea that maybe the Rays 122 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: could go make a run at Kyle Tucker with new ownership, 123 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: maybe they want to go after a star, be the 124 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: face of the franchise for years to come. Could you 125 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: imagine having to deal with Kyle Tucker in this division 126 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: for years to come. I don't want that. Please, Oh, 127 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't want that. Kyle Tucker. He homed here tonight. 128 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: That would be miserable having to see that guy. What 129 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: is it nine ten times a year that I do 130 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: not want that at all. But the Cubs they continue 131 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: to look good here again. I think they are one 132 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: of the top contenders in the National League. And the 133 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: Red Sox they got punched in the face a little 134 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: bit here. They did ten straight wins going into the break. 135 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: They said, hey, hey, hold your horses here. Hey, this 136 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: is what a postseason team looks like. You're gonna have 137 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: to get up to our level here. You got a 138 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: little bit more work to do. So the Red Sox 139 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: have work to do. Yeah, you could sit here and say, oh, 140 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: they absolutely need a bat right, they need to add 141 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: something for this lineup. You know, we've been talking about 142 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: making an upgrade, possibly at first base. Abraham Toro has 143 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: struggled for the most part. Toro had a couple of 144 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: hits here tonight. You know you're going up against the 145 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: least here, you know, Reyese Hoskins, Josh Naylor, who. I 146 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: don't know if those guys would have been able to 147 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: do anything. You know, maybe if you have yondy in 148 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: this lineup, you know, maybe you could have done a 149 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: little uh maybe a little something something possibly maybe. So yeah, 150 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I still think the argument stands that you 151 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: do need to make some kind of an upgrade with 152 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: this lineup. But em Monaga was just so good tonight. 153 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: You know, would any of those guys have made a difference. 154 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: Probably not right the whole team. You just gotta find 155 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: a way to step up against these guys. And I Monaga, 156 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: he is kind of an enigma. He's just he's just 157 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: a different cat. So I said this last night, coming 158 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: into the game. I knew this is gonna be a 159 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: tough one. It's the guy's just he's a freaking nature 160 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: out there. The way he just spins the ball, man, 161 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: it's absolutely insane. But let's get into it here. Let's 162 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: get into it. We're gonna talk about Bao here tonight. 163 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about this offense. It's gonna be pretty 164 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 1: quick here tonight. Not gonna lie. There's not really a 165 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: whole lot to talk about. I'll probably read the chat 166 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: for a little bit. That's how quick we're going to 167 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: move through things.

But let's 200 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: get to it here, everyone, Let's get to it here. 201 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: Like I said, Imnaga, this man was just an absolute 202 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: monster here tonight. He was an absolute fiend. But you know, 203 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: Brian Bayo was not bad. He was not bad. It's 204 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: just it was a mismatch. In my opinion, right Bayo. 205 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: Overall six innings, six hits, three earned, four strikeouts, one walk, 206 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: a couple of homers. He's mixing in the four seemers 207 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: and the cutters a lot here tonight. He's getting the 208 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: sweepers going. I threw some sinkers and some change ups 209 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: in there, a pretty balanced approach for the most part. 210 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: It was the first inning that did him in, Michael 211 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: Bush or the home run. You can't believing sinkers right 212 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: over the plate like he did Kyle Tucker with the 213 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: home run. Next, I just left a meatball, fastball right 214 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: over the plate. Yeah, I mean, you know, simple as that, 215 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: just meatballs, bad locations. Good hitters are going to do 216 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: a lot of damage against pitches like that. Maybe you 217 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: can get away with that, would say, I don't know, 218 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: Connor Wank, but yeah, you're not gonna be able to 219 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: get by mister Kyle Tucker on a meatball right over 220 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: the plate. And I actually saw here in the chat 221 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: someone was talking about Kyle Tucker. Let me go pull 222 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: this up here, Zachary, how you doing? He said? Are 223 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: the Rays a big market? Now? Well, no, I don't 224 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: think so. But again they're getting new ownership here, so 225 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, could ownership be motivated to go after a 226 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: star player? Remember they went after Freddy Freeman. Remember that? 227 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: Remember well a few years ago, all of a sudden 228 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: the Rays were in it, right, You're thinking, what Freddy 229 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: Freeman to the Rays? What are we talking about here? 230 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: So at some point I do think the Rays are 231 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: going to make some kind of a splash, And if 232 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 1: there is ever a time to do it, I think 233 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker could be that guy because he is from 234 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: the area. That could make some sense. That would be 235 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: horrible to have to go up against Kyle Tucker that 236 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: much so. But as for BeO, you know, he did 237 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: settle down. Second inning, Swanson with the walk, Horner had 238 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: a base hit, he got moved, Swanson got moved over 239 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: on the ground out bruhannad the sackfly that made it 240 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: three to nothing. But after that, I mean he was fine. 241 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: He worked around a few bay hits along the way. Again, 242 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: not a bad night. I just think it was really 243 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: a mismatch, you know, against a really good Cubs offense 244 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: and Imanaga on the mound. You you just gotta you 245 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: gotta match up better. In my opinion, I think Brian 246 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: BeO he's better off going up against you know, say 247 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: like like a Colin Reya right now, or you know, 248 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: say Jamison Tyn right. You know, the Cubs expect them 249 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: to be looking for some starting pitching at the trade 250 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: deadline here in the next couple of weeks. But you know, Imanaga, 251 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: Matthew Boyd, those guys have been very good for the 252 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: Cubs this year. So to me, I look at I 253 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: look at Bao. You could say maybe Bao more probably 254 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: suits up better against Boyd. I guess think iman Aga, 255 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: He's just a different cat. So I think it was 256 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: a bad matchup in my opinion. But uh, for the offense, 257 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, oh, that's not the right screen. Good gracious, 258 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: we were having We're having a tough time here tonight. 259 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: That was the that was the news show the other day. Goodness, gracious, 260 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: my brain's not working here. But you know, listen, you 261 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: can get a quality start from buying Brian Bao. But 262 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: they had opportunities tonight. It's not like the Red Sox 263 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: were just completely looking like fools for the entire night. 264 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: Ref Snyder had a lead off double Bregman ground out 265 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: to move him over in the first inning, but then 266 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: Rome and Romans striking out. You had a shot right 267 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: there to really get some momentum. At the beginning of 268 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: the game. Second inning, Masa Toro base hits back to 269 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 1: back a couple outs, but then Connor Wong striking out 270 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: to end the inning. Seventh inning, once again, Massa Toro 271 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: base hits yet again, two outs, again, Connor Wong again 272 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: not able to come through flying out to Horner. So 273 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: there wasn't a whole lot of opportunities, but they did 274 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: have some along the way. Emon ag is just that good. 275 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: It is what it is. There's really not Muchell's to say. 276 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: Bullpen Chris Murphy came in, you know, he was giving 277 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: up some meat balls as well, give up three home runs, 278 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: Pete Chrarmstrong, Matt Shaw, and Ian Happ first runs. He's 279 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: actually given up all years since getting called up to 280 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: the Red Sox this year. So it is what it 281 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: is tonight. There's really not Mauchell's to say. That's pretty much. 282 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: That's pretty much of the show for the most part. 283 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: But we do have Game three tomorrow and let's see 284 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: if maybe the Red Sox can find a way to 285 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: savage the series. And hey, we've seen this before. We 286 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: have definitely had our fair share of this where you 287 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: call on Garrett Croche to put a stop to things, 288 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: and hey, I'm actually excited about this one. Listen. You know, 289 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: Garrett Croche going up against the Angels, going up against 290 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, just whatever team out there. But when you're 291 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: going up against good competition, this is who you want 292 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: on the mound. And this is where the Red Sox 293 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: they get a bit of a mismatch of their own, 294 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: all right. Kate Horton. I definitely think a lot of 295 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: talent here with Kate Horton. But you know there's a 296 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, he's eleven games in so far in his career, 297 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: that's it, right, just getting called up really this year 298 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: and it was the first round pick back a few 299 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: years ago. Seventh. Overall, there's a lot of talent here 300 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: with mister Kate Horton. A right good fastball. He's got 301 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: some good breaking stuff as well. Well, we know the 302 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: deal with Garrett Kroschek. We know the deal. However, some 303 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: of these guys have seen him, right the White Sox 304 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: they were going up against the going against the Cubbies 305 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: last year, Ian happ as a homer against him. Horner 306 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: has a home run against him. You guys, guys like 307 00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: Suzuki Swanson, Turner, they got hit off of him. PCA 308 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: has a head off of him. So I mean these 309 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 1: guys when they saw him last year, they read him 310 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: pretty well. I mean, this is a different Garrett Crochet 311 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: obviously one of the best pictures in baseball. But I 312 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: expect Crochet to go out there tomorrow day game. Just 313 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: go out there dealing. So I see you in the 314 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: chat Moose fifteen thirty four saying oink oinc. Absolutely, this 315 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: is the this is the oinkiest of oinc moments here. 316 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: You need Crochet to oink up tomorrow. Yeah, Kate Horton, 317 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: let's actually go into Kate Horton a little bit more. 318 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: Let's pull up the Fangrafts page for him. Phipp is 319 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: right around the same at a four point thirty nine. 320 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: Like I said, he's gonna pour in a lot of fastballs. 321 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna give you some sliders, he's gonna give you 322 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: some off speed a little bit with the change up. 323 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: He'll mix some cutters in there as well. And let's 324 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: go over here. It's a good old stat cast and 325 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: let's see what the advanced metrics are looking like with him. 326 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: So as you can see, he's gonna give you some 327 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: good velo right around ninety six miles an hour. He's 328 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna get you to chase a good amount. That's slider 329 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 1: or they call it it. They say it's a sweeper here, 330 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: but uh, seventy ninth percentile when it comes to the 331 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: chase percentage, gets a good amount of swing and miss 332 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: as well. He doesn't walk a whole lot of guys. 333 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: So he's gonna get you to chase out of the zone. 334 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: He's gonna have good command, he's gonna throw strikes. He's 335 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: also gonna get some ground balls. So you know, we 336 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: saw a lot of weak contact over the last couple 337 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: of nights here with the Red Sox. So you know, 338 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: let's see Kate Hornen. He's been able to get these 339 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: guys to hit the ball onto the ground. Let's see 340 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 1: if the Red Sox can maybe find a way against him. Now. 341 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: The one thing, even though he does get guys to chase, 342 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: does get guys to swing and miss. His strikeout percentage 343 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: is very low, so he's had trouble putting guys away. 344 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 1: He can get ahead, but that's the one thing that's 345 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 1: been eluding him so far is putting guys away. He's 346 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: also giving up a decent amount of barrels in the 347 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: sixth percentile. So let's see. I would imagine for the 348 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: Red Sox, hey expect them to fall behind a little 349 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: bit against this guy. He's got good stuff. But attack 350 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: this guy when he's got two strikes on you, right, 351 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: take advantage of the lack of the putout pitch. So 352 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: that's the way I'm seeing it with mister Cad Horton. 353 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: So but let's take a look see at the chat 354 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen again, there's not a whole lot to 355 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: talk about, you know. Actually, really quick, if we were 356 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: to take a look at tomorrow's lineup again, Horton is 357 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: the right hander, so I would imagine you're gonna see 358 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: Willia or braw back in that lineup tomorrow. Marcelo Meyer, 359 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: I would think he's probably gonna get a start there tomorrow. 360 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: Ref Snyder ROMI probably gonna take a seat, So he's 361 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: gonna get those lefties back in there. Toro with a 362 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: couple of hits here, so I would imagine he's gonna 363 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: be probably back in tomorrow. I would imagine hopefully Nervas 364 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: is back in there tomorrow. I also, why was Narvas 365 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: not playing here tonight? I just feel like, I don't know, 366 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: I feel like he should be playing. You know. I 367 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: was kind of thinking, why is Wong starting? They just 368 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: resting his uh just managing his rest and whatnot. But 369 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: you just had the All Star break, So I don't know, 370 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: I don't see why Wong was in here tonight. I 371 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: feel like, if anything, you put Wong in the lineup 372 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: for tomorrow when you got Crochet on the mound and 373 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: you got a rookie on the mound, so that was 374 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: a bit of a that is a bit of a 375 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: head scratcher. Why Wong was in the lineup here tonight. 376 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: I would imagine our Bias is gonna be back in 377 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: there tomorrow. Jared Duran, I would imagine he'll be there 378 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: tomorrow as well. So we'll see what happens. We'll see 379 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: what happens. But uh, let's take a Lookxie at what 380 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: you guys are saying here in the chat. We got 381 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: about five minutes to kill here. If you are watching 382 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: on Nesson, thank you for joining me. And if you 383 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: are watching here on YouTube, if you can, you said 384 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: the like button subscribeer renew. We're trying to get the 385 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: five K by the end of the year. Andrew the 386 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 1: go The Red Sox played some terrible baseball tonight. You know, yeah, 387 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, though, I wasn't really expecting a whole 388 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: lot against the Monaga. I really wasn't. He's so good, 389 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: so good again, he's a freaking nature. He's a freak. 390 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: He's throwing ninety miles an hour and he's making it 391 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: look like it's like two hundred miles an hour. Crazy Andrew, 392 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: you also said the Red Sox should not be getting 393 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: shut out by teams. That's bad baseball, eh I credit 394 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: you got to give credit to Imanaga as well. He's 395 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,239 Speaker 1: very good. He's very good. What do we got here, 396 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: dot Jazz. The Cubs have the best winning percentage run 397 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: deferential runs per game, second and slugging third and ops. Yeah, 398 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: that's another thing. The Cubs are just really good. You know. 399 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: I said this at the beginning of the show. They're 400 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: World Series contender. In my opinion, I think a lot 401 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: of people were sleeping on them coming into the year 402 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: because obviously the Dodgers, right, the Poddres, they're always getting noise. 403 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: You know, I feel like the Cubs, even though they 404 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: had themselves good obviously, and I feel like teams or 405 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: fans out there of other teams were maybe sleeping on 406 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: them a little bit. I had them getting to the 407 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: National League Championship Series. I'd had the Dodgers beating them 408 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: in the National League Championship Series. So let's see what 409 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: happens there. But I wouldn't be surprised at all to 410 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,719 Speaker 1: see the Cubs in the NLCS. What else we got here? 411 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: Feel free to ask questions in the chat, Ladies and gentlemen, 412 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: if there is ever a time to ask a question, 413 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: Now is the time. Dramatist, I'll take thirty one home 414 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,959 Speaker 1: runs on the Red Sox right now, I would too. 415 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: That'd be pretty nice, you know. Honestly, Since Chris Catllo 416 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: reported about Yondi Diaz the other day, I've warmed up well, 417 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: I was already warmed up to the idea. But ah, man, 418 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: I would love a guy like that, a guy that 419 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: gets on base. His bat's gotten hot as of late. 420 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: That would be very nice to have a bat like him. 421 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: But I would not complain about a Josh Naylor. I 422 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: would not complain about a Ryan o'hearne. That'd be pretty nice, 423 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: would be nice. What else we got, polar The offense 424 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: has talent, but there's no real superstar, no real cleanup hitter. 425 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: It's hard to compete like that. The potential is there 426 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: with Roman Meyer, a brave setti that is that is something. Also, 427 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's like who who is the true cleanup 428 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: hitter on this team? Who is the four guy? You know? 429 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: So that's where if I'm looking at, you know, guys 430 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: like Josh Naylor, you know, just a big old bat 431 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: that you can put there in the middle of the order, 432 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: you know where. Let me take a look here, where 433 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: has Naylor been batting in this lineup for? And Naylor's 434 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: been batting clean up for the Damonbacks? You know what 435 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: I would love. You know, teams usually don't like to 436 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: do this, I've noticed, but I would love the Red 437 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: Sox could get some kind if Meryl Kelly was the 438 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,120 Speaker 1: guy that you go after. I still am holding out 439 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: hope it's gonna be Joe Ryan. But if Meryl Kelly 440 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: would be guy you go after, I would love if 441 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: they did some kind of a package deal. Teams usually 442 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: don't like the package guys together. Because they want to 443 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: max out the value. But man, I would love that 444 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: if you can go get both those guys so the 445 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: rest of this year, that'd be pretty nice. Man. That 446 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: would one trade that could solve a couple of different issues. 447 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: Christopher Retz Robbie, do you see Chris Sales a viable option? No, 448 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: I don't think the Brave's gonna move him. Braves want 449 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: to compete and he's been a good fit there. I 450 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: don't see the Braves moving him. I actually think that 451 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: was a report. I think I think that came out 452 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: at some point in the last couple of weeks that 453 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: the Braves were not gonna trade him. I would say 454 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: for starting pitching, you're still gonna hold out hope for 455 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: Joe Ryan. Maybe the twins come around to it. You know. 456 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: Maybe I do think you're gonna have to get a 457 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: third team involved. Who knows, Maybe you don't. That to 458 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: me seems more likely if you were to go that route, 459 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: if they were to get that done, I'll bring up 460 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: Merril Kelly once again, maybe Seth Lugo. I can see 461 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: someone like that. I wouldn't mind Kelly or Lugo as 462 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: fallback options because I think those are two veteran guys 463 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: that you can trust. Again, they don't have the upside 464 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: of a Joe Ryan. But if you're not able to 465 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: get a deal done like that, which is going to 466 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: be hard to do, that that's not going to be easy. 467 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 1: It might already be done where the Twins don't want 468 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 1: to move them. I don't know who knows. A lot 469 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: can happen until the deadline. But if I were to 470 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: go after a couple of veterans, Kelly, Seth Lugo, I 471 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: don't think those would be terrible ideas. I'm not the 472 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: biggest on Lugo at Fenway Park. The fit with him 473 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 1: has been higher, so I don't know. That's kind of 474 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: where I'm at. But no, I don't think Chris Sale 475 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: is gonna is gonna go anywhere. Yeah, Mason, you know Lugo, 476 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: you know getting up there at age. You know Kelly too. 477 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: It comes down to what what are you going to 478 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: have on the market. You know what's gonna be out there. 479 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean Zach Gallon, but Gallon's had a tough year. 480 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: Sandy on the Marlins, he's had a terrible year. I 481 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe the Red Sox could figure something out, 482 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: but do they want to bring in another guy coming 483 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: off of Tommy John. I don't know Edward Cabrera. He's 484 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: having a good year, but he doesn't have the track record. 485 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: So who are you gonna go after? Doc Jazz? What's 486 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: wrong with Ryan? Nothing's wrong with Ryan. It just might 487 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: be too difficult to get him. I mean, at the 488 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: end of the day, he's a starting pitcher two. He's 489 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: even an ACE on some teams out there. It's gonna 490 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: be hard to pry away a guy like that when 491 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: he has more than two years of control, especially on 492 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: a team that they are trying to compete every single year, 493 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: that is gonna be really hard to acquire. I think 494 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: it can be done, and I'm not saying it's impossible. 495 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: It's just gonna be very difficult. Scott. Would Nathany Valdi 496 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: be available? I talked about this the other night. I 497 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: don't think he's going to be I'd be surprised if 498 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: the Rangers gave him up, right, they just signed him 499 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: to a three. Y're seventy five to me, like the 500 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: Rangers want to compete. That's a good team there. If 501 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: they can get their offense fully going, the Rangers, you know, 502 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: maybe could go on some kind of a run. We'll see, 503 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: but everyone, I'm gonna wrap it up right there. Thank 504 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: you for joining me here tonight. A bit of a 505 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: bummer of a night. We'll see what the Red Sox 506 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: can do for Game three tomorrow, but everybody, I'm out 507 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: of here. Thank you so much. We'll see tomorrow for 508 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: postgame show.
