1 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: Ali do what every about Ay. Hello, Welcome to Massa 2 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: Territory brought to you by the Foul Territory Network. Really 3 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: good series win. They needed this series win in my opinion. 4 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: We're now one series into the post Raffi era. Right, 5 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: you got that first win, right the first game against Seattle, 6 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: that felt good, But then he had a tough one 7 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: last night. Right, offense didn't show up, but all pitching 8 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: was brutal. Walker Buehler was You could say that was 9 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: his worst start of the season. You needed this one 10 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: today in my opinion. Right, this was one of those 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: series wins where you could maybe look back on and 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: say that was a bit of a turning point right there. 13 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: You know, you had a chance this series to really 14 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: show what you are without Raffi Devers. Sure, it's only 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: one series. Right offense definitely a question mark in this series. 16 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: They're definitely gonna have to come up with more than that. 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: But they showed you they can pitch right, not Walker Bueller, 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: but you've got a great performance in Game one. Garrett 19 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: Crochet looked fantastic today but also gritty at the same time. 20 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: Just a gritty series win, and that said a lot 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: to me about the moxie of this team, about maybe 22 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: the identity of this team. I'll talk about that in 23 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: just a little bit once we get to the breakdown. 24 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: I just really enjoyed this series win here today. I 25 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: just feel like it said something about this team. They 26 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: responded to the biggest trade and you know, for the 27 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: Red Sox since Mookie Bets. I mean, how often do 28 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: you see a trade like this happen for a team, 29 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, trading your superstar in the month of June, right, 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we've seen tons of trades in July, 31 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: but at this magnitude, at this point of the year, 32 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: you don't really see that, especially you know, with the 33 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: distraction and that was you know, that came along with 34 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: it leading up to the trade. Right. I felt like 35 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: this was a must win here today, not that you 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: had to win it, but it would have just said 37 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: a lot about your identity as a team moving forward, 38 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: that hey, we can still find ways to win games 39 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: without our best player, without our best hitter. I really 40 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: enjoyed this one today. I felt like I said a 41 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: lot about this team. But I did put a pole 42 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: up on Twitter. I did put a pole. If you 43 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: haven't seen it, go look at it right now. But 44 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: I simply asked, I simply ask we have how many 45 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: votes do we have on this? We have three hundred 46 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: and fifty votes so far in the last twenty nine minutes. 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: I said, give me your reactions, questions, and thoughts down below. 48 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: After the Red Sox series win over the Mariners, do 49 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: you feel a bit more confident with this series win? 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: After trading? There were three choices yes, no, wait and see. 51 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: So as of right now, thirty six percent say yes, 52 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: twenty four percent say no, forty percent still in a 53 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: wait and see mode. I think that's pretty fair. I 54 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: would say, right now, for me, I have I'm cautiously 55 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: optimistic because they just showed you that they can get 56 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: the job done here. And you know, say what you 57 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: will about the Mariners, you know, maybe not playing great 58 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: as of late, but this is a team that ranks 59 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: pretty well offensively this year. They got some very good pitching. Obviously, 60 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, they couldn't figure out Ryan Wu yesterday, but 61 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: they got to Logan Gilbert in Game one. Luis Castillo 62 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: has been pretty solid today. They were able to solve 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: him so and they were able to just get enough 64 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: offense today. And then you get Marcella Meyer really stepping 65 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: up today. Trevor Story continuing to try to keep as 66 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: much going as he can to stay productive within this 67 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: lineup after the terrible May that he had. And I 68 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: see you in the chat, Austin. If you can just 69 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: find a way to stay afloat until Bregmant Yoshida come 70 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: back and then the deadline, you can go on a run. 71 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: And I agree, you know, yeah, like I said, you're 72 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to get a couple 73 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: more runs across the board, right, I mean they showed 74 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: you they I think also what this showed me today 75 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: too is that even without Raffi, they remember how many 76 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: times they were coming up short in these close games, right, 77 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: how many one run losses they've had this year. But 78 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: I think this series that they really showed you that 79 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: they can win these gritty games. So we'll just have 80 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: to wait and see how it goes moving forward. But 81 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: I agree with you, if they can just find a 82 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: way to keep it going, keep up the great pitching 83 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: until you start getting some guys back. Bregnant, willyar Masataki, Yoshita, 84 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 1: his name is coming up a lot more now. Kora 85 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: is starting to talk about him. I guess he's back 86 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: from his sight seeing. So I'm cautiously up tomistic. But 87 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: I feel good, I said after that first win against 88 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: the Mariners in this series, something feels different. There's something 89 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: different in the air with this team. Still need to 90 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: see a lot more here, Obviously, we got a lot 91 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: of season left, and we got a lot of games left, 92 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: obviously before you really start getting into the nitty gritty 93 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: of trade season. But something does feel different. Can't still 94 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: can't quite put my finger on it, but I'll give 95 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: you an idea later on in the show. Before we 96 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: do go on, I do have to get to today's sponsor. 97 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: I'll be right back. 98 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 2: Krat's real question for you. So I'm in Arena Club 99 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: and I. 100 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: Opened up a slab pack. 101 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,119 Speaker 2: I pulled a Wyatt Langford Auto rookie card. I got 102 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 2: an immediate offer from Arena Club. I turned it down. 103 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: It was in the mid three hundredth range. I've gotten 104 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: a few offers since. Thoughts on Whyatt should I hold on? 105 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: I saw it. 106 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 3: I didn't see it when you ripped the pack, but 107 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: it looks so sick with everything around and how it's 108 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: spinning in your showroom. That John looked nice, but no, 109 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: you shouldn't sell it. Maybe wait till he makes an 110 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 3: all start or two and all of a sudden that 111 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 3: three hundred goes up and you're gonna get another instant 112 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 3: off of right away on Arena Club. 113 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: That's right, bye, sell trade. Slab packs are there for 114 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: you too to rip a pack. And for me, I'm 115 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 2: just leaving it in the showroom for now deciding what 116 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: I'm going to do with it. But if I did 117 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: want to sell it, then I can get myself another 118 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: slab pack or buy a card that I want to buy. 119 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: Get twenty percent off your first slab packer card purchase 120 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: by going to Arena club dot com slash val use 121 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: code fo u L. 122 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to the player of the game. We 123 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: got Trevor's story for me tonight. Let me know down 124 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: to the chat who is your player of the game. 125 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: Let me know who is your player of the series 126 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: as well, Let me know down below in the chat. 127 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: But for me today, it's Trevor story one for four 128 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: had the home run there two RBIs Marcella Meyer also 129 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: going deep in this game? Second in Meyer leading it 130 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: off with the home run first pitch fastball up and in. 131 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: I said yesterday with Luis Casteele, guys had a solid 132 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: year this year. His best pitch has been the fastball. However, 133 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: you know, I was saying yesterday, all right, you know, 134 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: maybe got to look for some of those sinkers, some 135 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: of those change ups. Those haven't been very good pitches 136 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: for him. But you know, when you're leaving a fastball 137 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: right up and in like that to Marcelo Meyer, who's 138 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 1: shown the ability to go deep on those pitches, hey, 139 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: he didn't waste that chance, clobbered it, put the Red 140 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: Sox on the board. Fourth inning, Marcelo Meyer coming through again, 141 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: had a six pitch walk. Trevor Story added the home 142 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: run there that was off of a sinker. That was 143 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: a sinker that just didn't quite sink enough. It was 144 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: actually out of the zone. So Trevor Story, hey, good 145 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: for him, man, I mean, you know, a sinker out 146 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: of the zone like that, still a tough pitch to hit, 147 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: and he took a deep in the picture friendly park 148 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: of t Mobile. I still want to say safe co field, 149 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: you know how you have no idea how badly I 150 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: want to still call it safe go field. But like 151 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: I said, the sinker has not been a good pitch 152 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: for Luis Castillo. He's been getting hammered on that pitch 153 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: this year. So good for the Red Sox today, taking 154 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: one deep against his best pitch this year and taking 155 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: advantage of one of his worst pitches. I will say, 156 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: also for the Red Sox only six strikeouts on the day. 157 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: Let me actually confirm that. Hold on a second, I'm 158 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: gonna double check that. Seven strikeouts on the day. I apologize. 159 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: I wrote that note a little early. I got ahead 160 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: of myself. Seven strikeouts on the day. Oh hey, good 161 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: to see, you know, especially with how much of this 162 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: team strikes out. They got a lot of hard contact 163 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: today against Luis Castile. You know, again not a lot 164 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: of runs, but they were putting the bat on the ball. 165 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: They were trying to make things happen. It's a picture 166 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: friendly park as well, so you know, I can also 167 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: see you know where people are saying, oh, you're gonna 168 00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: need more offense than this. Well, you know it is 169 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: the Mariners at their home ballpark, right offense is going 170 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: to be hard to come by. Yes, they just went 171 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: to town off Walker Buehler yesterday. But Walker Bueller, he 172 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: just had nothing yesterday it was meatball after meatball after meatball. 173 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, even in a picture friendly park, you're gonna 174 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: put up some runs. So I'll give the Red Sox credit, 175 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: you know, for the taking advantage of the elements, taking 176 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: advantage of the environment. And hey, two out of three 177 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: games you had some good pitching. But let's get to 178 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: the pitching. Let's get to the pitching here. Garrett Crochet 179 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: phenomenal performance today. Not quite the outing that he had 180 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: last time against the Yankees, where he was going after 181 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: a complete game shutout. But to me, you know, maybe 182 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: phenomenal is not the right word. A just a very 183 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: solid performance today, A gritty performance, right, A little bit 184 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: of everything from Garrett Crochet today, six inning, six hits, 185 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: one earned eight k's. Lots of cutters today with Garrett Kroche. 186 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: And I was actually talking about this last night after 187 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: Walker Buehler, who was getting hit around a lot, and 188 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: I was wondering, I'm like, why did he get away 189 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: from the fastballs? He was throwing a lot of four 190 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: seemers against the Rays in his last outing, And then 191 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: it dawned on me him like, oh I was thinking 192 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: about it today, I'm like, oh, I realize now, Cutters, 193 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: obviously you induced a lot of weak contact. And I 194 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: actually went to the numbers. The Mariners are second overall 195 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to the highest soft contact percentage. So 196 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: the Red Sox they were trying to exploit that. That's 197 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,839 Speaker 1: why they're leaning so much into the cutters in the 198 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: last couple of games. So with Crochet, I think we 199 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: can all agree he's a much better picture than Walker Bueller, 200 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: and he was able to make that work today. But 201 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: he had his trouble early on, had his trouble early on, 202 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: very bumpy in the early going. Lots of pictures early 203 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: fifty eight through three innings. First inning, Cal Riley had 204 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: the double on a fastball right over the plate. I 205 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: can't believe in a fast I said that yesterday. I'm like, 206 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: you gotta be careful with the two hitters today from 207 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 1: the Mariners that have homered off of Crochet in the past, 208 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: Raleigh and a rose Aorina, and both those guys did 209 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: some damage against him today. Raley with the double and 210 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 1: then in the second inning, Jaron Duran had the drop ball. 211 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: A lot of people wondering why wasn't this an error, 212 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: but they said, well, because of the sun because of 213 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: the elements they uh, you know, he dropped the ball, 214 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: so they marked it as a hit, right. You know, 215 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: I'm one of those where listen, if you dropped the ball, 216 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: that should be an error. But I can also understand 217 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: the sun getting in the way as well. Jan Duran, Man, 218 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: he's had a few moments this year. You know, you 219 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: go back to Milwaukee, had that drop ball ended up 220 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: leading to a loss there, and then uh, and then 221 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: this one. You know, I mean again the sun got 222 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: in his eyes, like what can you do? But you know, 223 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: we've seen a few times now. I believe there's been 224 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: a couple at Famway Park that have happened. You know, Duran, 225 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: he just keeps running into these little moments where man 226 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: got it again. The sun. It's brutal trying to catch 227 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 1: a ball in the in the freaking sun. But I 228 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: gotta find a way and try and clean this stuff up. 229 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: But after that, I mean, you know, Solano, you know, 230 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: he came through after that, and you know they're able 231 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: to get a run across the board, but Crochet locked 232 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: it down. After that he was able to settle in. 233 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: So just got off to a bit of a tough 234 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: start today. But in the end, a gritty performance for him, 235 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: eight k's through six innings, only give up the one run, 236 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: and then Greg Weiser. Greg Weiser, that was the story 237 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: I think today with him and Chapman. Whitlock did lock 238 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: it down in the seventh inning, but then Chapman came 239 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 1: in for the eighth, and I think people were wondering, 240 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: why is Chapman in this game right now in the 241 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: eighth inning. Isn't this guy supposed to be coming in 242 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: for the ninth to get the save. Well, I think 243 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: it was because of the maxups, right, because cal Rally, 244 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: I mean, cal Rally's been so good this year. You 245 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: gotta be as careful as possible with that guy. That's 246 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: why I think they brought in Chapman for the eighth, 247 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: just to really get by him, and then they went 248 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: with Weisert in the ninth. You know, funny enough, with 249 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: Weissert righty righty matchups, he's actually done better against lefties, 250 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: so you know, that was worrying me a little bit. 251 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: But Weiser, it's been really he's been able to lock 252 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: this down. Now for the last couple of weeks, he's 253 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: been pitching very well, so you know he's had a 254 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: couple of little bumps over the last few outings, but 255 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: he's been able to maneuver his way through. So that's 256 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: my guess. You know why Chapman was in for the 257 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: eighth and then Weisert was in for the ninth. They 258 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: locked it down. Go to great pitching today, Great pitching 259 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: today from Crochet and the bullpen. Gotta love that. So 260 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: we do have an interesting series coming up here, very 261 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: interesting series coming up here. It almost just feels like 262 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: unbelievable that this series is coming up with the San 263 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: Francisco Giants. I mean, you know, what time does this 264 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: game start on Friday? I believe it's ten to fifteen 265 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: on the East Coast. Guarantee every Red Sox fan will 266 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: be watching this one. I find that so odd and 267 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: I find that so awkward that Rappi is going up 268 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: against this old team this quick after being disgruntled, and 269 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: in another factor that goes into that as well. It's 270 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: you know, sure there was he was he was disgruntled 271 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: with the front office, but you know a part of 272 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: me wonders, you know, kind of what a lot of 273 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: the teammates were thinking too. You know, he still had 274 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: good relationships with the teammates. But I think there are 275 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: some in there that, you know, kinda that they weren't 276 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: really liking so much, you know, kind of you know, 277 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: how he responded to the whole first base thing after 278 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: Cossas went down. So I'm curious to see the pre game, right, 279 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see the interactions there, especially being 280 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: so soon. You know, if it was like another few weeks, 281 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: you know, to let things, you know, calm down, then 282 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: you know that's different, right, But it's literally like not 283 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: even a week after. Very curious to see how that 284 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: those interactions are gonna go. All right, I don't know, 285 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm waiting to see. Is Rafire 286 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: gonna be playing first base? That is? That would be 287 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: the ultimate stroll move in my opinion, that'd be crazy. 288 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: But I will say one more word on this series 289 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: here with the Mariners, I will say, you know, I've 290 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: been wondering, what could the identity of this team be? Right? 291 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: You know, you go back to two thousand and four, 292 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: you had the idiots, two thousand and three, Cowboy up right, 293 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, you had the beards. Twenty eighteen, they were 294 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: just gonna kick the crap out of you and take 295 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: your lunch money. They didn't care what you thought. Right 296 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: do damage? You know, this team, I wonder depending on however, 297 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: if they continue to find success here and they can 298 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: tinue to pick schwell, they can keep this offense going. 299 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: You get Bregman back, you get Will, You're back, mass 300 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: Is back in the lineup. This might be a pretty 301 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: kind of lame and boring answer, but I wonder if 302 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: the identity of this team could be simply they're a team. 303 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: You know, everyone's just doing their job. You know, take 304 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: take the the old quote from Bill Belichick. You know, 305 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: do your job. Everyone goes out there, gives it your best, 306 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: and you all just work together as a cohesive unit. 307 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: That's what I wonder if that's what the identity of 308 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: this team could end up being. Right, And that's not 309 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: a slight against Raffi. You know, I'm of course, you 310 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: know I'm gonna miss Raffi. You know, I love seeing 311 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: his bat in the lineup every day. But you keep 312 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: hearing a lot from these guys. You keep hearing them saying, 313 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: you know, whatever whatever it takes to win, whatever it 314 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: takes to help the team, you know, and then you 315 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: get these young guys coming up like Marcella Meyer, Roman 316 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: Anthony obviously Christian Campbell starting the year contributing. Everyone just 317 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: doing their part, you know, to work towards one goal. 318 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: Just wonder if that's what this identity could be. Very simple, 319 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: but just being a good solid team. You know, we'll see, 320 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: we'll see what ends up happening there. Before I dive 321 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: more into the Giants preview, do got one more word 322 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: from our sponsor. 323 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 2: It is summertime. We are in the thick of golf season. 324 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: It's always golf season down in Florida, but we're in 325 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: the thick of golf season across the country and someone's 326 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 2: looking to get a new club. That logo should say 327 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: it all PXG. What do they do? 328 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:40,959 Speaker 3: Go get fitted? 329 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 4: Go get fitted by one of their master fitters, professional fitters. 330 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 4: I've done it. It's helped shave many strokes off my handicap. 331 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 4: It is worth it. It's educational.

And also we 345 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 1: are going to go over the John Hayman Report in 346 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: just a little bit. It's also very bright in my room. 347 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: My goodness, it is very bright in here. I just 348 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: looked at the screen and it's just popping all over 349 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: the place. But we do have a John Hayman Report 350 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: that we will talk about in just a little bit. 351 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: But let's talk about the San Francisco Giants. So forty 352 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: two on the year. Uh on, just a second. When 353 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: I'm sharing my screen again, I still can't figure out 354 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: why this is moving so slow. When I hit the button, 355 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: it just takes forever. I don't know what's going on. 356 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: It used to just go right to it but now 357 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: it just takes its sweet time. But the Giants forty 358 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: one to thirty two, they're three and a half back 359 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: in the West right now, they do have a wildcard spot. 360 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: They have dropped their last three games, but this has 361 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: been a really solid Giants team this year. Obviously, Raffi, 362 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: that's gonna be the story. We all know that. But 363 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: you know, let's focus on what's what else is going 364 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: on in this lineup? Right? He got Jung Huli who's 365 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: been very productive this year. William Thomas, right, he's starting 366 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: to come around a little bit of very slow start 367 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: in his Giants career, but you are going to get 368 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: some great defense out of him. Elliott Ramos has been 369 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: solid this year. Hey, don't forget Tom Smith. It's not 370 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: just Raffi, it's Dom Smith as well. Man a couple 371 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: of former Red Sox here bottom of the order and 372 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 1: not you know, it's okay, right, you know, you got 373 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: Casey Schmidt down here, you got Mikey Stremsky, Patrick Bailey 374 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: hasn't really been doing much with the bat, very good defensively, 375 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: and then Tyler Fitzgerald. His numbers have come down since 376 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: last year. But looking at the projected machups. Here against 377 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: the Red Sox, you're running into a couple of younger 378 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: guys Hayden, Bird, Song, Land and Roup. And then you're 379 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: getting the veteran Robbie Ray on Sunday. So Robbi Ray. 380 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: He has been pitching very well this year two point 381 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: six eight ERA. I remember he came back last year 382 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: after getting Tommy John worked through some bumps, but he's 383 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: been very good this year. And then both Hayden, Bird, Song, 384 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: Land and Rube they've been very solid so far, Land 385 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: and Rupe. You're gonna get some good breaking stuff with him, 386 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: Hayden Bird Song and the guy's not even twenty four 387 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: years old at this point, but he's gonna come at 388 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: you with a fastball. He's gonna go He's got a 389 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: little bit of everything here. He's gonna get some breaking 390 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: pictures off to you. He's gonna go off speed a 391 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 1: little bit. So a guy that you know, he just 392 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 1: came up not too long go, but he's gonna have 393 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: some decent v low He's gonna he's just an all 394 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: around pretty solid young picture two point seven to ninety 395 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: LRA three point six to seven on the fifth, decent 396 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: amount of strikeouts he's gonna keep the home runs down. 397 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna get you know, he's gonna really work towards 398 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: those fly balls. Something to keep an eye on. There's 399 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: not doesn't really have a high ground ball percentage. So 400 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: with Hayden bird Song, I'm thinking, you just got to 401 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: see if you can wait, you know, trying to tack 402 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: some pictures, maybe up in the zone, wait for some 403 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: mistakes with him, and then taking a look at land 404 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: and Roop Landing root Man got some good breaking stuff 405 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: that curve ball. This year, He's throwing it a lot 406 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: thirty nine percent of the time. He's gonna get a 407 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: lot of ground balls as well, forty five percent ground 408 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: ball percentage this year. So you're gonna get a couple 409 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 1: of different looks with these guys. And then you're taking 410 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: a look at Robbie Ray. All right, Robbie Ray. Obviously, 411 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: this guy's been a veteran of the game. If you're 412 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: watching this one, you're gonna hear You're gonna hear a 413 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: lot of grunts from Robbie Ray every single pitch. This 414 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: guy is gonna grunt as loud as any other guy 415 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: out there. But like I said, he's been solid this year, 416 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: good amount of strikeouts ten strikeouts per nine under four 417 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: walks per nine. That has been an issue in the 418 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: past with Robbie Ray the command, so he has improved 419 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: that this year. And then again these guys have done 420 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: a great job at keeping the ball in the yard. 421 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: So you know, obviously got that spacious park in San Francisco. Unfortunately, 422 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: we're not gonna have Tristan Cassas, you know, going, you know, 423 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: going with a going deep on an opo monster shot 424 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: like he had a couple of years ago for the 425 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: Red Sox. Here. You know, you just got to do 426 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: what you can in another pitcher friendly park. So we'll 427 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: see what ends up happening here. But for the Red Sox, 428 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: you got Hunter Dobbins, you got Brian Bao, you got 429 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: Lucas Giolito. I do like the matchup of Lucas Giolito 430 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: for Sunday, a guy that gets more fly balls, so 431 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: I can see him taking advantage of that spacious park, 432 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: just like he did at team against the Mariners. With 433 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 1: Hunter Dobbins, you know what you're gonna get with him. 434 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: You know you're gonna get some four seemers, You're gonna 435 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: get some sliders, you're gonna get some splitters. You know, 436 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: that'll be an interesting matchup. Now with Hunter Dobbins here, 437 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: let's pull up his numbers. Now with Hunter Dobbins, he's 438 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: been looking great as of l very good in his 439 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: last couple of starts against the Yankees. Now he's a 440 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: guy that gets more ground balls. So I wonder, you know, 441 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: in a fly and more of a fly ball kind 442 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: of a park, I wonder what's gonna happen there. You know, 443 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: if we take a look here at the Giants when 444 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: it comes to the batted ball percentage. Let's see. So 445 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: the Giants right now, they're actually very low when it 446 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: comes to ground ball percentage, twenty fourth overall, under forty percent. 447 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: So they like to put the ball in the air. 448 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: I'm thinking with Hunter Dobbins here, keep the ball down, man, 449 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: try and keep it down as much as you can, 450 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: because they like to lift the ball in the air. 451 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: So we'll see how that goes. And then Brian Baile, 452 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: I'd say, you know, look at what he just did 453 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: in his last start. He looked great in his last start. 454 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: He was cruising along, look looked like he found a 455 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: good pitch mix to work with. There, I say, just 456 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: keep it on going, man, But you know, again, really 457 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: try to take advantage of this spacious park. You know, 458 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: don't be afraid of maybe going up in the zone 459 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: a little bit, right, get those fly balls. So that's 460 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 1: what I think the Red Sox need to do here. 461 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: But we all know, you know, I listen. I can 462 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: sit here and talk about all the stats all we want, right, 463 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: I can talk about ground ball percentage from flyball percentage. Well, 464 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: we don't really care about that. We're we're looking to 465 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: see what is Raffi gonna do here. That's gonna be 466 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: the big story. That's gonna be very interesting. Obviously, we 467 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: have no numbers to work off of with that, so 468 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: Raffi has never gone up against the Red Sox before, 469 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 1: so very interested to see how that goes. Alrighty, we 470 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: do have one thing to talk about. We do have 471 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: one more thing to talk about. We do have John Hayman. 472 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: He went on his weekly Bleacher Report scream. You know, 473 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: he kind of just throws a whole bunch of stuff 474 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: out there, but he did talk about the Red Sox today. 475 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: I wanted to play that video for all of you, 476 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: and let's get that pulled up here. So I'm gonna 477 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: play this. I'll be right back. 478 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 5: What do the Socks do now? Socks are gonna be 479 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 5: looking for a bat, I believe, as well as firming 480 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 5: up the pitching. So I think they're still going to 481 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 5: be active. I don't see them as a seller. I 482 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 5: think they are a buyer. Obviously they did sell on Devors. 483 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 5: That was more about the culture, and I do believe that. 484 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 5: I do believe it. Just sell Henry. Please, I don't 485 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 5: think John Henry's selling. I get I get it. He 486 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 5: is certainly interested in the soccer team, and I'm not 487 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 5: that know that much about soccer. I know exactly what 488 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 5: he's doing there, but he's obviously spent on that team, 489 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 5: and I get the speculation that he's more focused or 490 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 5: spending more there, and they are gonna need to spend. 491 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: I do believe. All right, So talking about the Red 492 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: Sox maybe looking for a bat, You're starting to see 493 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: some you know, rumors out there, right, you know, even 494 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: Craig he mentioned it the other day at first base, 495 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: talking about looking for a long term answer at first base. 496 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: You keep seeing that coming up, and I know people 497 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: are gonna look at Abraham Torro, romy Gonzalez but I 498 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: do wonder if the Red Sox would like to just 499 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: find something firm for the rest of the year, right, 500 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: someone that can just plug in there every day, and 501 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: then Toro Romi, they can come off of the bench. 502 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: You know, Romi giving you a right handed bat there. 503 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: You know Toro, you know he's a switchitter obviously, but 504 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: you know a guy that can play both the corners, So, 505 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: you know, I wonder if that's how the Red Sox 506 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: are looking at those guys right now, right, They're they're 507 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: there now right, they're getting the job done now. But 508 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: I wonder if they see them more for the course 509 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: of the season as guys that are you know, gonna 510 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: be solid guys coming off the bench. But I wonder 511 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 1: the Red Sox if they're going to look for an 512 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: everyday option when it comes to first base. And you know, 513 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot of other things to think about here 514 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: as well. Will your Brave's coming back? They keep talking 515 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: about Massa Taka Yoshida, So what's gonna happen there when 516 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: it comes to this outfield. I don't know, man I 517 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: said this after the Raffie trade. I don't think they're done. 518 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: I think there's still especially if you're bringing back Yoshida 519 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: and the way they're talking about them. They were pretending 520 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: like this guy didn't even exist, right, They weren't even 521 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: talking about this guy. And now all of a sudden, 522 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: it's like it's a it's a Yoshida party over here, right, 523 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: everyone's loving massive everyone. If you are watching this on nesson, 524 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to wrap it up right there. You can 525 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: come watch the rest of this over on YouTube. Do 526 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: you have to cut it right there or out of time? 527 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: We'll go have yourself a good rest of your day. 528 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: We'll see you for the San Francisco Giant series. So 529 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: everybody here on YouTube, let's get this wrapped up here. 530 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: But I said this, I don't think they're done. There's 531 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: still just a lot of players. And yes, you have 532 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: been getting very good starting pitching as of late, minus 533 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: Walker Buehler. I'm also gonna touch on that really quick, 534 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: quick little side step. I'm gonna say this about Walker Bueller. 535 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: I didn't say this last night. It was so late. 536 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: I was so tired. I still am very tired. But 537 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: if he can't get himself on track, and with all 538 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: of these guys that are coming back here, right, you 539 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: know you Cutter Crawford is getting a little bit closer obviously. 540 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: You know Richard Fitz, you know, he's eventually gonna see 541 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: himself back here. I mean Kyle Harrison, who you just 542 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: traded for. You know, so you've got a lot of arms. 543 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: And I know Walker Bueller, you know, was a big 544 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: signing this past offseason. But if he keeps pitching like this, 545 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, if he's gonna continue to be inconsistent like this. 546 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: Oh also Tanner how he's he's on a rehabit side 547 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: and he's pitching for Worcester right now, gent blank on him. 548 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: So he got a lot of arms coming back. If 549 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: Buehler can't get this figured out, I don't know. I 550 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: wonder if something could happen there. I'm not really sure 551 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: what to think about that. I probably lean more to 552 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: know because he is a veteran guy and they're obviously, 553 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, spending a lot of money on the guy. 554 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: And also if he's not pitching, well, you know, what 555 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: are they gonna do with that contract? I mean, they 556 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: would have to eat it if they moved him or 557 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, with a DFA him, I 558 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: don't know. So I think they would rather keep the guy, 559 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: but he's got to start getting a bit more consistent here. 560 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: He was looking very good before going on the IL, 561 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: but ever since coming back, he's been so up and down, 562 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: so they got to figure out something with him. But 563 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: getting back to first base, I do think they're gonna 564 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: look at some long term options, and you know, I 565 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: got my eyes on Reeese Hoskins with the Brewers if 566 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: they decide to go into like this sort of soft 567 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: cell mode that they've done before. Remember they did that 568 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: with Josh Hater a few years ago. They traded him 569 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: while being in first place in the division because they 570 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: had Devin Williams coming up. Now with Reez Hoskins, he's 571 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent after this year, you know. 572 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: But I'm also looking at the fact that they did 573 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: bring in Andrew Vaughn. Mate, let's see if they can 574 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: get him on track. But you got some other guys 575 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: they're you know, you gotta you know, they got guys there, 576 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: So I do wonder if Hoskins could be available. But 577 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: then I'm also looking at someone like Freddy Parolta. You know, 578 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, that might sound crazy, like a package 579 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: kind of a deal. Paralta in Hoskins. I find that 580 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: a little hard to believe that you'd be able to 581 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: pull that off. Would the Brewers even deal away Freddy 582 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: Parolta or Hoskins, you know, because they're a team that 583 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: always wants to compete. But I keep going back to 584 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: Parolta because and again this is just me speculating, I 585 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: haven't heard anything. It's more so because you know, Jacob Mimsowski, 586 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: top pitching prospect for them, they just called him up. 587 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: Brandon Woodriff's coming back soon, so I kind of just 588 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: wonder if that's a similar situation to Josh Hater where 589 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: because you can get a lot back for Peralta, you know, 590 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: young major league ready talent, you can probably get someone 591 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: that's closer to major league ready, maybe get a couple 592 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: of guys that are further as further away as well, 593 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: maybe even a major league ready guy, you know. I 594 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: don't know. Now the Brewers they do have their outfield 595 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: right now. They have Garrett Mitchell in the IL, so 596 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: I how to imagine, But this is a guy that 597 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: hasn't been able to stay healthy. So I wonder if 598 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: there could be something there with will or Bray you 599 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: And that's where you know, getting back to that point, 600 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: you have a lot of guys. You got Duran, you 601 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: got Seti, you know you gotta bray. You you got Roman, Masatakia, 602 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: Yoshida coming back. So what are you gonna do with 603 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: all these guys? Some point? I think they're gonna have 604 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: to make some room here. Maybe you could use one 605 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: of those, not Roman, but maybe a Willier. I don't 606 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: think Duran. I've talked about this that Ausium already, but 607 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: could one of those guys be used to get some pitching? 608 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: If not the Brewers, maybe the Pirates. For someone like 609 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: Mitch Keller, they just freed up some payroll. Maybe could 610 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: take back his contract. The Pirates get a bat that 611 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: they really need to help them over the next few years. 612 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 1: I think there's opportunities out there to land some starting pitching. 613 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: Hayman touched on that as well, But you know you 614 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: got some first basement out there. I already mentioned Reheys Hoskins. 615 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: If not him, maybe can do an Indivision trade for 616 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: Ryan O'Hearn. He's having a very good year this year. 617 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: Josh Naylor, if the d Backs decide to move him. 618 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: So there's options out there for an everyday option. I 619 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: keep thinking back to what Breslo said, looking for long 620 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: term answers. So could there maybe be a first baseman 621 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: out there where, you know, he's a bit more cost controlled. Maybe. 622 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's going to be an interesting deadline, 623 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: especially if they can keep up the winning, especially if 624 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: they can keep improving their place in the standings. So 625 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting, man, It's gonna be interesting because, 626 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you got a lot of talent here, got 627 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: a lot of players. They're gonna have to do something. 628 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: So but everybody, I'm gonna wrap it up right there. 629 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm very happy there's 630 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: a day off tomorrow. I know that might make me 631 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: sound like a terrible Red Sox fan, but these not today, 632 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: but the last couple of nights doing streams at you know, 633 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: one two o'clock in the morning. Awful, awful, sorry to 634 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: be negative about that, but holy cow, way past my bedtime. 635 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: I couldn't even think straight last night. I don't even 636 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: know how the heck I even did a scream. I 637 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: basically fell asleep like ten minutes after I got done. 638 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: So let's please use that day off tomorrow, get some rests. 639 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: You know, we've all been on a rollercoaster this past week. 640 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: I think we all need a bit of a breather 641 00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: here tomorrow. So I know for a fact, I'm probably 642 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: going to sleep early tonight. I'm going to get caught 643 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: up on my rest. But everybody, thank you for coming 644 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: out today. I do appreciate that good series win. Could 645 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 1: this be a step in the right direction. It may 646 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: be forming the identity of this team in the post 647 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: Raffi era. Like I always say, We're just gonna have 648 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: to wait and see. But everybody, go have yourself a 649 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 1: good rest of your night, enjoy the day off tomorrow. 650 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 1: We'll be back here for some Red Sox Verse Raffi 651 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: on Friday night. I'll talk to you next time.
