1 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: Hi, do and everybody. Welcome to massa territory brought to 2 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: you about the Foul Territory Network. An abysmal series here 3 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox. I mean, things have been going 4 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: so well as of late. You're thinking, Okay, here we 5 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: go the Red Sox. They're back to where they need 6 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: to be. Even after they traded Raffie Devers. You're still 7 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: you know, you're still finding some things that are looking good. 8 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: Right the Mariners series, you take two out of three, 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: You win the first game against the Giants, but that 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: after that, you just kind of fall on your face. 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: Right now, they've lost five straight games getting swept by 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: the Angels. Listen, you know the Angels. How do I 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: say this about the Angels? The Angels, they're a team 14 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 1: that has a lot of talent, but they've been a 15 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: team for so long now that just has not been 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: able to find their way. And here they are sweeping 17 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: the Red Sox. I mean, tip of the cap to 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: the Angels here, but holy cow, this is not a 19 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: series that you should be getting swept. I mean, my goodness, 20 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: it's crazy to me, lack a doodle to me that 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: you have only won one game against the Angels. Out 22 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: of six this year. That is bonkers to me. I 23 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: don't even know what else to say. This Red Sox team. 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: You know, it's been the same thing all year, right 25 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: the Boston mid Sox. They take a step forward, they 26 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: take two steps back, they take two steps forward, they 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: take three steps back. It's just been the same old 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: song and dance all year. They're now forty and forty two, 29 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: they're now three games back in the wild Card behind 30 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: the Angels at this point, only three hits on the day. 31 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: You know, you just found something wrong. There was something wrong. 32 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: It wasn't even just one theme for this series. It 33 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: was something different every single game. You go back to 34 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: Game one, Walker Buhller. I mean that, if you want 35 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: to look for any example of not setting the tone 36 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: for an entire series, that was it right there. Walker 37 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: Buehller just got this this team off to a bad 38 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: start for the whole series. He set the bullpen back. 39 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: You know, listen, listen, Walker Buller. You know he's been 40 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: one of my favorite pictures in the game for a 41 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: long time. The guy's an absolute competitor. He's a savage 42 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: out there when he's on top of his game. But 43 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: he just hasn't had it this year. I mean, he 44 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: looked good before he went on the il, but ever 45 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: since then, he even looked good right when he came 46 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: back against the Mets, before he got ejected, But ever 47 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: since he came back from the ejection, he has just 48 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: not had it. You know. Sure he was alright against 49 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: the Rays, but I mean he's gotten knocked around here. 50 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: He is not at all looking like the old Walker 51 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: Bueller who we were all, you know, we all I 52 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: think expected that Walker Bueller probably wasn't going to get 53 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: back to what he was doing back you know, twenty nineteen, 54 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. I think that was all 55 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: you know in our heads, right. But if you could 56 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: get a Bueller that, you know, look like what he 57 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: did in the postseason, I think was reasonable, right, guy 58 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: that would go out there, you know, maybe give you 59 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: five six innings, a couple earned runs, fewer and runs, 60 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: that's what we're all expecting. But a guy that was 61 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: going to be a competitor out there this year from Bueller, 62 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: I've only seen just pretty much negative down body language 63 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: from him. A guy that just doesn't seem to have 64 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: this head in the game. That is something he just 65 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: doesn't look like that fired up Walker Bueller. I mean, 66 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: we saw it against the Mets, right, we saw the 67 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: fiery competitor that he is, you know, getting exected. But 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: ever since then, there's nothing's been right. And you know, 69 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: I know Bueler didn't pitch today, but I'm just looking 70 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: at the series as a whole. I think he just 71 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: set this whole team back, for this entire the whole 72 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: pitching staff back. Right, you go to Game two, bullpen, 73 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: no garat Crochet. You get a tremendous performance, but then 74 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: the bullpen's just taxed. At that point, they've you know, 75 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: been work I mean, sure, the starting pitching was looking 76 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: good there for a couple of weeks. They were giving 77 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: the bullpens some time off, but they've been struggling here. 78 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: Going back to the Giant Series, right, bullpen's working hard, 79 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: and then you had you know a gast Greg Weisert, 80 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: who's been pitching a lot in the month of June, 81 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: and he just couldn't hold it down in the eighth 82 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: inning yesterday, and then you end up losing an extra innings. 83 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: And then today, you know, Richard Fitz you know, obviously 84 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: he's still working his way back. We'll talk about his 85 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: start hearing just a second, but he's still not fully 86 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: back yet. He still has some work to do. And 87 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: you know the bullpen today, you know got Luis Guerrero, 88 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: Brendan Bernardino, Zach Kelly. Sorry, Zach Kelly should not be 89 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: pitching major league games in my opinion, Like Zach Kelly, 90 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: he should not be in this bullpen. But that's just 91 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: where the Red Sox are at with their pitching staff 92 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: right now. So again I'm looking at one of the 93 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: biggest factors of this series being Walker Buehler's bad start. 94 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: Runners in scoring position. That was another bad thing, right 95 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: you saw it yesterday. There were times today they couldn't 96 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,799 Speaker 1: come up with anything. It's the same old song and dance, 97 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: and it's frustrating. It's frustrating to come on here and 98 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: have to, you know, talk to all of you at home, 99 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: where we're excited coming into the year about this Red 100 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: Sox team. We were just excited a couple of weeks ago. 101 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: Everything was looking great. I mean, you're winning series left 102 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: and right, and then you try to RAFFI but you 103 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: still look good for a couple of games, and all 104 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: of a sudden, everything's just gone down the tubes. I 105 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: don't even know. I don't even know, but I'll give 106 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: you my thoughts towards the end of the show on 107 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: whether or not it's time to panic for this team 108 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: right now, just you know, I guess a spoiler alert. 109 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it's fully time just yet. It's obviously 110 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: not great right now. There are definitely some some worrisome 111 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: things going on right now and I am not too 112 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: hopeful about but I don't think it's time to push 113 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: the panic button. Fully. I think your finger could be 114 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: on it, but I'm not ready to push the button 115 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: just yet. And I'll give you my reasons whying just 116 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: a little bit. But we are going to get to 117 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: the breakdown. I'm gonna talk about Richard Fitz, We'll go 118 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: over the offense, and then don't forget, we've got the 119 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: Blue Jays coming up. So we've got a lot of 120 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: season left. I know, it feels like we've been doing 121 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: this for months at this point. That's how long this 122 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: season has felt up to this point. And we're not 123 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: even in July yet. There's a lot of baseball left 124 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: and we've got the Blue Jays coming up next. To 125 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: give you my thoughts on that before we do move forward. 126 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: If you can, everybody help me out.

That's always 159 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: a bad sign for me at the beginning of a start. 160 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: When I saw that he was having a little trouble 161 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: walking some guys, not throwing, not throwing a ton of strikes, 162 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: I was a little concerned, but I was liking how 163 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: the stuff was looking. Vello was sitting in the upper nineties. 164 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: He was pretty much sitting around like ninety seven ninety eight, 165 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: it felt like the entire time. And again, the breaking 166 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: stuff was looking pretty sharp for the most part. I think, 167 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 1: just command today and still really just building his way back. 168 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: I feel like they rushed him back from that pectoral 169 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: strain that he had. I think he probably needed a 170 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: bit more time from that to really ramp up better 171 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: than what he did. But it is what it is. 172 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,599 Speaker 1: But the first inning, like I said, the command was 173 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: an issue. Chris Jaan Moore, Man, I'm just gonna say 174 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: this again, James Heroda, I see you in the chat. Listen. 175 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: Shout out to the Angels man and Chris Jamore. That 176 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: guy's a savage. That guy is. He's gonna be a 177 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: really fun player to watch. But had the game winning 178 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: home run last night the two homers, but hit by 179 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: a pitch early on walked Trout and which Richard fits. 180 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: I don't think he ever wants to go near Mike 181 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: Trout again. I still think the homer that he hit 182 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: off of him at Fmway Park, I think is still 183 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: in the air somewhere. Then he struck out Joe Adele, 184 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean Joe a bell. Joe Adele had 185 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: a bad game. We'll get back to him just a 186 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: little bit. Fourth inning, We'll get back to Joe Adele 187 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: right now. Had a home run there that made it 188 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: two to one. Travis Darno adding a two run homer 189 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: there that tied the game up. Lamont Wade with a 190 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: base hit right after that, and yeah, Richard Fitz, it 191 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: is what it is man. Four innings, you know, gave 192 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: up a couple of runs. Final line for Richard Fitz today, 193 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: four innings, four hits to earn. Did have six strikeouts. Again, 194 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: the velo and the stuff was there, just you know, 195 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: not he only walked one, but you could tell, you know, 196 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: he was just kind of still trying to find his 197 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: way hitting his spots right. It was not a bad 198 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: day for Richard Fitz, but you just need him to 199 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: keep building at this point. But then the bullpen took over. 200 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: Then the bullpen took over. Luis Guerrero coming in for 201 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: the fifth inning, Sean Welk shrout with a walk. He 202 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: struck out ward, but then Adele had the base hit 203 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: to take the lead that made it three to two. 204 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: Darno with a bass hit. They made it four to two. Hey, 205 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: shout out Joe Adele and Travis Darno today, right, good 206 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: games for both of them. Brand Bernardino came in, he 207 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: got the ground out to Lamont Wade. Six inning, he 208 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: came back out. Renhifo king Greet with a bass hit 209 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: that brought in Zach Kelly Mike Trout with a two 210 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: out bass hit. They made a five to two and 211 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: there was your Angels offense for the day. Now for 212 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: the Red Sox only three hits on the day. Let 213 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: me let me make sure if my eyes were correct. Yes, 214 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: fourteen strikeouts on the day for the Red Sox, goes 215 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: swinging and a missing You say Kakuchi, all right, the 216 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: Red Sox. They've had success against him in the past, 217 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: both last start and when he was with the Blue Jays, 218 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: and uh Kakuchi was on top of his game. Here 219 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: today Velo is looking good. Breaking stuff was looking great. 220 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: Twelve strikeouts for Kokuchi on the day. The Red Sox 221 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: did get on the board first. Rev Sneyder had the 222 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: k to start the day, but then Duran he reached 223 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: on an error from kingri at Short who was playing today. 224 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: Zach Netto is a xam shoulder, so hopefully for the 225 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: Angel's sake that he can come back soon. Roami with 226 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 1: the bass hit Williard with a walk to load the bases. 227 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: I think Trevor Story, Trevor Story has had an act 228 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: for coming through over the last few weeks or so. 229 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: Had the bass hit got the Red Sox on the board. 230 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 1: But that was it. After that, the Red Sox took 231 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: a nap and they went to sleep. They couldn't do 232 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: anything after that. Angels settled in, Kokuchi settled in. And yeah, 233 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: the Angels played a complete game today. The Red Sox 234 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: looked good from the get go. You're thinking, all right, 235 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: you dropped the first two coming out of the gates hot. 236 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 1: But once again, the pitching and the bullpen's just taxed. 237 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: They've been taxing San Francisco all right, And this is 238 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,599 Speaker 1: why you need guys like to go deeper into the 239 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: games for you. Again, it's set the whole bullpen back. 240 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: So it is what it is, you know, Is it 241 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: time to panic? Just realized the title on the screen 242 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: auto correct. This is where you got to help me out. 243 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: That's still not looking good. What is going on here? 244 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, ladies and gentlemen, we're all just having 245 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: a tough time here. Is it time to panic now? 246 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I know that might sound crazy, 247 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: that might make me sound like a delusional Red Sox fan. 248 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things wrong with this team. I 249 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: think there is talent on this team, even with that 250 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: RAFFI Devers, especially when Bregman comes back. When you get 251 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: Massataka Yoshida back into the lineup, that's really gonna help. Right. 252 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: We're seeing the effects of no Raffi Devers in the lineup. 253 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: I think that's what most people are thinking. But we're 254 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: actually seeing the effects of no Raffi and no Bregman 255 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: in the lineup. You don't have your two best hitters, right, 256 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: you don't have them. I mean you're getting by, you know, 257 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: with Trevor Story trying to just do his thing right, 258 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: you know, hoping to get something out of the young 259 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: guys like Marcella Meyer having a good game yesterday. But 260 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: you need Bregman back in this lineup, right. I think 261 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: that's what the Red Sox when they traded Raffi. I 262 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: think that's what they envisioned. They said, Okay, Bregman, he's 263 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: gonna be back here, probably around the All Star break. 264 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: And I think Kor actually said that today too, said 265 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: that it's probably gonna be right after the All Star break. 266 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: I think they're playing the Cubs the first series back, 267 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: and that's what I've been saying. I was saying, maybe 268 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: they could get him back like that series before the 269 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: All Star break just to give him a few games 270 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: and then he could have that time off for a 271 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: little bit. But really, you you want Bregman for the 272 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: majority of the second half. I don't think they're gonna 273 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: push that with him, so that would make some sense. 274 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: That makes more sense to me that they would hold 275 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: him off till after the All Star break, especially when 276 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: you get those few days off there as well. So 277 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: I think that's really when the Red Sox trade of RAFFI. 278 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: I'll say it again, I think they envision Bregmann coming back. Obviously. 279 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: You know, if you don't have good good thing. Well, 280 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: here's the thing. If Bregman ended up signing somewhere else 281 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: in the off season, probably you're probably not trading Rafi 282 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: at that point. I think that's safe to say. But yeah, 283 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna need Bregman back. I'm not ready to hit 284 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: the panic button just yet, because we haven't seen the 285 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: line up at full strength. And then you get another 286 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: bat in Yoshida, who hopefully can come back and give 287 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: you some good production. You see Roman Anthony, who's been 288 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: showing little spurts right high eggs of velocities working counts. 289 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony I think is very close right, So I 290 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: am excited to see what this offense can do in 291 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: the second half. I think there is more to tap 292 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: into there on the pitching side of things, though. That's 293 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: where I get a little worried. Right Crochet, obviously he's great, 294 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: but you need guys here to start stepping up. And 295 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: we also got some bad use today. Cutter Crawford, it 296 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: looks like he's not gonna be making his way back. 297 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: He's gonna be getting risk surgery. According to Alex cors So, 298 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: Cutter Crawford is gonna be out for the year. So 299 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: there's gonna be no Cutter Crawford here, you know. Richard 300 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: fitz he's slowly ramping his way back up here. Tanner Howell, 301 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't looked good in a couple of 302 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: rehabs starts, so what's he gonna give you. I'm worried 303 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: about the pitching, right. We did see a good stretch there, 304 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: all right, BeO gi Alito looking good, you know, But yeah, 305 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: I don't At this point, you can't count on Bueler. 306 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: He's really just a wait and see at this point. 307 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: To me, if I'm running the Red Sox, I have 308 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: a hard time putting the ball back in his hand. 309 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: You know, Cora can say all he wants. Oh, well, 310 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: after the first inning the other day, you look good. Well, 311 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you need a more competitive outing all 312 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: the way through. So I'm not confident giving him the 313 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: ball right now. I'll say this. If the Red Sox 314 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: are hanging around in the wildcard race, just like they 315 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: are right now, they're within a few games. If they're 316 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: still there, you know, after the All Star break, I 317 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't think the Red Sox are 318 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: gonna be like these major sellers like people are starting 319 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: to make them out to be. And that's not me 320 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: trying to be a homer. I'm gonna take things down 321 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: the middle the way I see it. I don't think 322 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: the Red Sox are gonna be sellers as of right now. 323 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: That could change in a few days. Who knows, they 324 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: end up getting swept again by Toronto or whatever. Well, 325 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: then that could be. I could have a completely different 326 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: tone in a week, right But I realistically think that 327 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: is going to be the plan. If they're within striking 328 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: distance of a wildcard spot, I think they're gonna go 329 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: out there and try and improve the roster as much 330 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: as they can to try and go on a run 331 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: in the seat and half. Now, do I think they're 332 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, completely, you know, trading away all 333 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: the best prospects in their system to try and land 334 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: some stars. No, I don't. I don't think that's gonna happen. 335 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: But could you go out there and maybe look for, 336 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: say a cost controlled starter to go behind Garrett Crochet. 337 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: Maybe listen, the dream for me is Freddy Parolta. I 338 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: would love Freddy Parolta is the number two in this rotation. 339 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: You know, could you do something there. That's what I 340 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: think the Red Sox need. They need someone that you're 341 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: comfortable handing the ball to after Crochet. Right. So that's 342 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: where again I'm not in this panic mode right now. 343 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: I think there's more offense to tap into. I think 344 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,719 Speaker 1: there could be a move for the rotation and then 345 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: don't forget you do got Jordan Hicks where he's gonna 346 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: be making his Red Sox debut at some point here. 347 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: I would imagine in the next week or two, that's 348 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna give you some good velo out 349 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: of the bullpen. That's gonna be someone that can kind 350 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: of give something else to this bullpen right now, Slayton's 351 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: gonna come back, even bullpen. I'm not worried about it at all. 352 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: Not worried about this bullpen one bit. Right again, it's 353 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: it's the starting pitching. For me. I think they just 354 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: this series. I'll say it one more time. I just 355 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: don't think they set the tone right off the bat. 356 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 1: I think they just set themselves back, and I think 357 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: they were just felt like they were playing from behind 358 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: the entire series. Even though they had a you know, 359 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: a one to nothing lead thanks to Crochet yesterday, you 360 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: still just felt like you were just having a tough 361 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: time here. Now with the offense again, I did say that, 362 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: I think there's more offense to tap into here. But 363 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: could they end up adding something for this lineup? You know, 364 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: could you go out there and maybe get yourself in 365 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: every day option for first base right Rod Meganzalez, Abraham Toro. 366 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: They've been holding it down there, you know, but could 367 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: there be an everyday option, say Josh Naylor on the Diamondbacks. 368 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: I think Josh Naylor could be a good fit, to 369 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: be honest with you, the Diamondbacks they're looking pretty rough 370 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: right now because they already lost Corbin Burns and Corbyn 371 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: Carroll he just got a fracture in his wrist. Who 372 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: knows when he's gonna come back. So the dimbacks right now, 373 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: it feels like they're kind of hanging here by a thread. 374 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: But if they fall out of it, could Joshnayler be 375 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: a bat that you can maybe go after. And the 376 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: reason I like Josh Nayler to maybe go after is 377 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: because he has a very low strikeout rate. And you 378 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: just saw here today fourteen strikeouts to the Red Sox. 379 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: They rank in the top five when it comes to 380 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 1: strikeout percentag John the year, that could be a good 381 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: guy to put into this lineup to kind of alleviate, 382 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: to relieve those issues a little bit. And then Yoshida 383 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: comes back, right and then all of a sudden, if 384 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: you get Naylor and you got yoshieta two, I mean, 385 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're cutting down on strikeouts a 386 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: lot right there, and you're getting more competitive at bats. So, Jules, 387 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: you're saying here, the bullpen is bad. No, the bullpen 388 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: is actually one of the best bullpens in Major League 389 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: BASEBA up to this point. I believe they rank. Let's see, 390 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: we're the Red Sox ranking right now. When it comes 391 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: to this bullpen, it has not been very good as 392 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: of late, but they've been taxed as of late, and 393 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: they've had a couple of injuries as well. But as 394 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: of right now, the Red Sox bullpen, they rank third 395 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: overall in fang raft wins above replacement three point four 396 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: to six toy ra on the year, they've had a 397 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: very good bullpen this year. It's not gonna be great 398 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: all the time, right they had a tough series, but 399 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: again they've been taxed, So this bullpen, I'm not worried 400 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: about it moving forward, especially they're gonna be getting Jordan 401 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: Hicks and Justin Slayton back at some point. And I'm 402 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: not ready to hit this panic button just yet. Not 403 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: there yet. My finger is hovering around it. It's close, 404 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: it really is. But I just don't think you've seen 405 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: this team at its best in the post Raffie era. 406 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: Need to get Bragman back, get Massa in the lineup, 407 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: get healthy, then maybe we could be talking about something 408 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: different here next week. So we'll just have to wait 409 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: and see. We'll just have to wait and see on that. 410 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: But it's not looking great right now. It's not looking 411 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: great right now. But let's talk about the Blue Jays here. 412 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: We do have another series coming up here, and before 413 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: I do get to that, though, we do have one 414 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: more word from our sponsor. We'll be right back by now. 415 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 2: You know about Arena club by sell trade open up 416 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 2: slab packs to get a card that you don't think 417 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 2: you could get usually, but the grails will tell you that. 418 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 2: For example, there's an Aaron Judge Rookie card in this 419 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 2: week's slab packs, so make sure you check those out. 420 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 3: No doubts those are what you want. The grails are 421 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 3: in Judge Grail is awesome, graded traded if you want, 422 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 3: tell you how much it's worth, whatever you want to do. 423 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: And I'm a big Michael Jordan Fanily my twenty three 424 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 3: shirt on. There's a Michael Jordan Grail in there that 425 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to. 426 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 2: Try to get twenty percent off your first lab pack 427 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 2: or card purchase at arenaclub dot com. Slash foul use 428 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: code foul. 429 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: Okay, let's get back to it here, shall we. And 430 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: U Jules, I see you in the chat. Yes, blown saves. 431 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: That has been an issue with the Red Sox this year. 432 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: They do rank very I remember where they rank and 433 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: blown saves, I know they're up there, They're definitely up there. 434 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: But when you're looking at the production as a whole 435 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: from the bullpen, when you're looking at ERA, when you're 436 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: looking at FIP, when you're looking at strikeout percentage, walk percentage, 437 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: home runs allowed, the Red Sox are one of the 438 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: best bullpens. Sure, blown saves, yeah, that's not good. They 439 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: got to clean that up. But I'm not worried about 440 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: the Red Sox bullpen moving forward because you have talented 441 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: arms back there now Toronto, Listen, we could be having 442 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: a completely different discussion here in a few days, right Toronto. 443 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 1: As of right now, they are forty two and thirty six, 444 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: they are playing as we speak, they do have those 445 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: second wild card spot as of right now, the Red Sox, 446 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: like I said, three games back in the wildcard standings. 447 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we're not hopeful right now after getting 448 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 1: swept by the Angels, but you never know, who knows, 449 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: maybe can go out there somehow win two out of 450 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: three and then just like that, you're within a game 451 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: of wildcard spot again. So you never know what could 452 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: happen here. But the Blue Jays, you know, Obviously, we've 453 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: seen the Blue Jays a lot this year. They played 454 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: the Red Sox very tough, and hey, they're looking like 455 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: a decent team this year. They're looking a lot better 456 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: than I thought they were going to be. But if 457 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: we take a look at some of these matchups here 458 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: for this series, you're gonna have Jose Barrios, Chris Bassett, 459 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: and Eric Lower. Now, when it comes to Jose Barrios, right, 460 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: the metrics aren't looking amazing with him. He's limiting the 461 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: hard hit balls, but really everything else, he's pretty much 462 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: middle of the road or below average. He's not getting 463 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: a ton of strikeouts. He's walking a few guys this year. 464 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: You know, Jose Barrios, he's a guy that can keep 465 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: you in the game. But this is someone I would 466 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: like for the Red Sox to start waking up against 467 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: just a little bit. They're gonna get Chris Bassett. He's 468 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: been solid. He's a solid veteran guy. Three point six 469 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: fit at a three point four to one. Bassett's gonna 470 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 1: come at you. He's gonna be tough, he's gonna get 471 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: some ground balls. He's gonna keep your team. He's gonna 472 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: keep the Blue Jays in the game. So that's gonna 473 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: be a tough match up there. When it comes to 474 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: Bassett metrics, still looking very good. Average exit Vilo doing 475 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: very good there. He gets a lot of weak contact. 476 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: He's not gonna walk a lot of guys. He's gonna 477 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: throw a lot of strikes. Like I said, good amount 478 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: of ground balls, right, Chris Bassett's always gonna be a 479 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: pretty tough match shup. And then he got Eric Lower. 480 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: He's doing all right this year. He's pitching both in 481 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: the rotation and the bullpen. He already at two point 482 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: twenty one. Fit a little bit higher at a three 483 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: point eighty four, but with Lower the expected numbers are 484 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: looking pretty good. Gets a good amount of strikeoutsret the 485 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: middle of the road league average. When it comes to 486 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: the walks, but uh, this is a guy where the 487 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: ball is. He tends not to get the ball down 488 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: on the ground very much. He's only in the ninth 489 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: percent tile with the ground ball percentage. So for the 490 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: Red Sox, hey, this is a team they like to 491 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: go swing away and put the ball in the air. Well, Hey, 492 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: maybe this could be a pretty good matchup for the 493 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: Red Sox here. So we'll just have to wait and 494 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: see on that. But Bassett, that's gonna be a tough one. 495 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: Let's actually take a look. What are the well it 496 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have Bassett on here. But when it comes to Bassett, 497 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: I mean, he's always a guy I feel like has 498 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: been Uh, I can't remember the last start he had 499 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: against the Red Sox. Let me actually go pull this 500 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: up here really quick when it comes to mister Bassett, 501 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: let's see here. Hold on one second, everyone, you know, 502 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: let me just type in here we go Chris Basset stats. Well, 503 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: let's take a look see or the last couple of starts, like, well, 504 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: against the White Sox, he's pitched very well there, only 505 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: give up one earned d back, gave up three cardinals, 506 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: gave up four. What did he do against the Red 507 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: Sox That's what it was? Five and two thirds one earned? 508 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: He was solid against him? All right, He's gonna be 509 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: a tough matchhup, no matter what for any team out there. 510 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: A guy that throws a lot of strikes. But I mean, 511 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: could that end up being maybe something in the Red 512 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: Sox favor, just a little bit where the guy attacks 513 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: the zone, Well, maybe the Red Sox they can try 514 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: and do some damage. I don't know, just have to 515 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: wait and see. But everybody, I am gonna wrap it 516 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: up right there. If you are watching on Nesson, do 517 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: you want to say thank you for joining me here today. 518 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay a little bit more on YouTube, so 519 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: if we want to come see the rest of the show, 520 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: I am going to talk about Jeff Passen and the 521 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: article that he wrote over in the last couple of days. 522 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my quick thoughts on that. But 523 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: everybody on Nesson, thank you for watching. I'll be back 524 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: here Friday for postgame coverage. But let's talk about the 525 00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: Passing article now again. Just told all of you that, uh, 526 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: not ready to panic just yet, but I do want 527 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: to give you my thoughts on this before I get 528 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: out of here. I might do a separate video on 529 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: this for the channel. The top two he did what 530 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: was it called ranking Major League Baseball's top fifty trade 531 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: deadline candidates Numbers one and two Alex Bregman and Jaron Duran. Well, 532 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: ain't that interesting. I'm gonna tell you right now. I 533 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: don't think Alex Bregman gets traded even if the Red 534 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: Sox completely fall off the face of the planet. I 535 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna be moving Bregmant. I think there's 536 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: more of a chance they get an extincsion done with 537 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: him now that Raffi's off the books. I think they're 538 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: gonna go up to Bregman and be like, hey, we 539 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: want you to be the face of our team. We 540 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: want you to be the new leader of this team. 541 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even be surprised that they offer him the 542 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: being the captain of the team. Honestly, I think he's 543 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: coming to Boston. I think he has set the just 544 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 1: the the what's the word I'm looking for? He is 545 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: set the line on what you need to be when 546 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: it comes to being a leader in the clubhouse. He's 547 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: been great with the young guys. He's played well obviously 548 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: before getting hurt, right, He's just been that good presence 549 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 1: in the clubhouse that the Red Sox need from a 550 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: leadership point of view. A guy that goes out there 551 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: pretty soft spoken, but he's gonna go out there, he's 552 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: gonna play hard. That's what I think the Red Sox see, 553 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna look to try and get 554 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 1: an extension done. There was a report not too long 555 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: ago that Boris Bregman, they are open to extension talks. 556 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: Could they get something done like the Giants did with 557 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: Matt Chapman. I could see that. No way. Do I 558 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: think Bregman's getting traded. Absolutely not now. Jared Durant, on 559 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: the other hand, Janed Durant, well, I think that's definitely 560 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: more likely. I absolutely think that because I mean, well, 561 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: we've been talking about it for a while now. Who's 562 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: gonna be the odd man out in the outfield? You 563 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: got Jared Duran, will you ar bra you, Sadam Rafaela, 564 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony, and now Masataki Yoshid is gonna be coming 565 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: back here, so you're gonna have a lot of guys 566 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: looking for playing time with Yoshid is gonna be the 567 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: DH for the most part. Well, you got four outfield 568 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: who's looking for three outfield spots? Sadam Raphaela. I think 569 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: his glove is too valuable out in center field, and 570 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: he's been doing a lot better with the bat this year, 571 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: will you or bray you? He has more years of control, 572 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: cheaper than Duran, and he's got more power upside and 573 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: he plays a good right field. So with Duran, on 574 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: the other hand, it basically it comes down to Jared 575 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: Duran or Roman Anthony. Well, Jared Duran, he's gonna give 576 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,719 Speaker 1: you that speed, right, it's gonna guess he's gonna get 577 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: a lot of triples for you. But we've seen Duran 578 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: a lot this year, making a lot of miscues, both 579 00:29:55,160 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: defensively and on the basis. Now, I think his skill 580 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: set's really hard to replace. There's not a whole lot 581 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: of Jaron Duran's out there growing on trees, right, It's 582 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: gonna be hard to replace that speed in the lineup. 583 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: But I think where the Red Sox are at at 584 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: this point with Jaron Duran in the lineup, you're forty 585 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,239 Speaker 1: to forty two. Even when you had Raffi, you were 586 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: still up and down. So is speed at this point 587 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: really helping the Red Sox. They're having trouble getting on base, 588 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: limiting the strikeouts, getting runners home when they're in scoring position. 589 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: That's where they've been having issues. Speed doesn't really seem 590 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: to be helping them at this point. Now, other teams 591 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: maybe that skill set could help them out, for example 592 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,959 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Right, I look at the Dodgers and I 593 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: see a team full of bats. You got Mookie, you 594 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: got Otani, you got Freeman, you got ta Oscar, you 595 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: got bats all over the place there, but Michael Kinforto 596 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: has not been a good pickup for them. Could you 597 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: see a situation where maybe Jared Durant could go into 598 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: that lineup, give them some more speed, and then all 599 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: of a sudden they now have even another look in 600 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: this offense. Right the Dodgers right now, they're pretty middle 601 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: of the road when it comes to stolen bases. They 602 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: do have speed in that lineup, but Duran would just 603 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: add just another dimension for that La Dodgers offense. That's 604 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: an example. Right then you look at teams that have 605 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: been connected here in the last couple of weeks, the 606 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: pas Rays were I've been told personally by a little 607 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: birdie that the Braves have made a phone call at 608 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: least kicking the tires. There is a fit there. There's 609 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: absolutely a fit there with Jared Duran out in left 610 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: field for the Braves, and it feels like that that's 611 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 1: another I think that's another good example as well as 612 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: a team that you know, Duran could help them take 613 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: that next step where the Braves they've been kind of 614 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: floundering a little bit, but maybe they just need that 615 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: one extra piece to really unlock them, you know. And 616 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: the Braves, when it comes to overall speed in Major 617 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: League Baseball, they right near the bottom. So I think 618 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: the Braves make a ton of sense for Jaron Duran, 619 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 1: and Duran makes a lot of sense for them. But 620 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 1: do the Braves have the trade assets to get a 621 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: deal done. That's the problem. That's the problem, And I 622 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: agree with you, Jennifer. Speed doesn't help if you can't 623 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: get on base. And that's what I think exactly is 624 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: the story here is the Red Sox they can't do 625 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: anything with it. I mean, yeah, it's great you're hitting triples, 626 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: but what good does speed do you if you're sliding 627 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: into second base and your hand is coming off the 628 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: bag and then you're getting thrown out, Or you're at 629 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: second base like the other night against the Angels and 630 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: you're taking off a third on a ground ball and 631 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: you're getting thrown out in a rundown. What good is 632 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: speed gonna do you when you're getting yourself thrown out? 633 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: So I think for the Red Sox right now, that 634 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: attribute that skills at isn't what they need right Maybe 635 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 1: in another year maybe that helps you, right, But for 636 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: this year, for the twenty twenty five Red Sox. That's 637 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: an issue. That's an issue. So I think Duran you know, 638 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 1: I think he's the oddo man out and that a 639 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, I was saying, I think I 640 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: thought Willier would be more attractive right because he has 641 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: that extra year of control, has that power upside, and 642 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: Durant's hard to replicate. That's why I was leaning more 643 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: towards maybe moving Willier. But with Willier, I think a 644 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 1: lot of people forget as well that his defense and 645 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: right field that's also hard to replace. Right Feenway Park, 646 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: right field, that's a tough spot in all of Major 647 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: League Baseball. They have a tough right field, and Willier 648 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: has been able to handle it. He actually looked pretty 649 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: good there today. He tracked down a ball out there 650 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: and got the ball in pretty quick. So will you 651 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: or bray you, honestly, in a way, kind of reminds 652 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 1: me a lot of Trot Nixon. A guy that's gonna 653 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: give you some thump. He's gonna play a pretty decent 654 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: defense to the most part, and right field even better 655 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: than Trot Nixon, you know, just gives you a pretty 656 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: solid bat there, you know, in the five or six spot, 657 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: maybe sometimes you know, batting third or fourth, you know. 658 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 1: So I think you can make the argument that, yeah, 659 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: Duran might be hard to replicate, but so is a 660 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: bray you right, And with a bray you has that 661 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: extra year of control over Duran and he's cheaper. So 662 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: and again, Duran I think would really help out a 663 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: lot of teams. Again, the Dodgers, Braves, Padres talk about them. 664 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean, they make a ton of sense. They got 665 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: a spacious left field, Petco Park, picture friendly park. Duran 666 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: would be great over there, I think, and just gives 667 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: them that little extra in their lineup. So but do 668 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: the pareis do they have the trade assets to get 669 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: a deal done. That's where I'm at with the Pogsreise 670 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: and the Braves, because those two teams on paper, they're 671 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: a nice fit for him. But do they match up 672 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: as trade partners. That's the big difference. That's the big 673 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: difference to me. I mentioned the Dodgers. I'm thinking, you know, 674 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: he mentions here the Guardians, the Royals. I probably don't 675 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: see the Guardians doing this. The Royals they do need bats. 676 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: I think you could match up there. I think that's 677 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: something that you could do. The Royals, they're kind of 678 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: hanging around in that wild card race right now. They 679 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: have a lot of pitching, but Cole Reagan's is down now. 680 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: He has a bit of a shoulder issue, So I 681 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: don't know, could you maybe do something there where the 682 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: Royals they send back some pitching and then the Red 683 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: Sox they send him to Arran. I think that's not 684 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,400 Speaker 1: completely out of the question, he says. The Giants. I 685 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: feel like the Giants are probably good now that they've 686 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: gotten Raffi and the Phillies and the Mets. I think 687 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: those two teams are interesting as well. The Phillies they 688 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 1: have not gotten good production out of Brandon Marsh, so 689 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: he would be an upgrade there. So I think that's possible. 690 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: And Dave Dombrowski, you know that guy is gonna be agress. 691 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: They got some guys that maybe you could work out 692 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: a deal. Could you do something with say either Aiden Miller, 693 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: justin Crawford, then maybe attacked Mickabel in there, maybe something 694 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: like justin Crawford, Mickabel and maybe one more guy. You know, 695 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 1: Mcabel is a major league ready arm at this point, 696 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, so maybe there could be something there. Do 697 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: the Phillies want to add a left handed bat? They 698 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: got a lot of lefties in that lineup, so that's 699 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: something to consider as well. Same thing for the Mets. 700 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: They got a lot of lefties there. They could use 701 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: an answer out in center field every day. They got 702 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: some young pitching now, Brandon Sprote. That's a guy who 703 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 1: looked great last year in the minor leagues but hasn't 704 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 1: really looked great this year. I don't know. Could you 705 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: do something with like Trevor R. 706 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 3: McGill. 707 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: Possibly they are gonna be getting Sean and Andia Frankie 708 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: Montaz back soon, so could you do something with, say 709 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 1: David Peterson or McGill. Maybe, I don't know. I think 710 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,319 Speaker 1: there are fits out there for Duran, and the more 711 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: I think about it, the more I think that he's 712 00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: probably gonna get moved. That's kind of the way I'm leaning. 713 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago. A few weeks ago, I 714 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,440 Speaker 1: was thinking Willier because he was the more attractive trade piece, 715 00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: and Duran obviously with the speed. But now I don't 716 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: think the speed matters. I really don't, and he's just 717 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: made a lot of mis cues. Base running, defense, I 718 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: think Duran's gonna end up getting moved at some point. 719 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: Bregman absolutely not. Bregman is not getting moved. He also 720 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 1: mentions here a roll desk Chapman. Chapman's interesting. That one. 721 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: That one's interesting to me because I could see a 722 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:47,360 Speaker 1: scenario where the Red Sox move him, but they still 723 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,200 Speaker 1: try to compete. But the idea of trading Chapman with 724 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: how good he's been, I mean, it feels like he's 725 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: the only arm that you know is gonna come in 726 00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: and he's just lock it down, like he's the only 727 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: one that really gives you. Yes, the bullpen has been good, 728 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,879 Speaker 1: but a big part of that has been Chapman. He's 729 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: the guy you know you can give the ball to 730 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 1: you right now, and he's pretty much he's gonna be 731 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: nails for you. But I don't know. I'm looking at 732 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 1: it from the Red Sox point of view. Getting Jordan 733 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: Hicks justin Slayton coming back. I don't know, you know, Tanner, 734 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,439 Speaker 1: how could they put him in the bullpen? He doesn't 735 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 1: look like he belongs in any rotation at this point. 736 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: Could he be a guy you put back there? I 737 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: don't know. So could there be a scenario where the 738 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,879 Speaker 1: Red Sox kind of like the Brewers with Josh Hater 739 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: a few years ago. Remember they traded him. They were 740 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,959 Speaker 1: in first place in the division, but they still moved 741 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: him and they had Devin Williams be the closer, you know, 742 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 1: and they got guys back in return. Robert Gasser I 743 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 1: believe was in that deal. There's someone else in that deal. 744 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: I can't remember, but could the Red Sox do that? 745 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 1: Maybe I could see that. I think the role as chatman, 746 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm kinda I'd say I'm fifty to fifty on that one. 747 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: But it's gonna be interesting here over the next couple 748 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 1: of weeks as we go into the All Star break. 749 00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: But ladies and gentlemen, i'm gonna wrap it up right there, 750 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 1: thank you for joining me here today. Obviously a tough series. 751 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,919 Speaker 1: Day off tomorrow, I think it's needed. Let's get some rest. 752 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,680 Speaker 1: We've had a lot of West Coast games. I'm gonna 753 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: be very honest with you, I'm very happy to have 754 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: a day off tomorrow because these West Coast games, these 755 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,799 Speaker 1: late night shows that we've been doing, Wow, I do 756 00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,120 Speaker 1: not like these. I do not like doing them at all. 757 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: But ready to get back to some East Coast times. 758 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,240 Speaker 1: That's gonna be nice. So enjoy the day off tomorrow, 759 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: lazy and gentlemen. Appreciate all of you in the chat. Jules, Jennifer, 760 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: DJ Nick and DJ see you in the chat. Phillies 761 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 1: make sense for Dombrowski because Dombrowski drafted Duran. I think 762 00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 1: there's a connection there as well. I could see the 763 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: Phillies right, just because Marsh hasn't really done much. But 764 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: I just wonder about the lefty righty thing. Do they 765 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: want to add a right handed bat like Luis Robert right? 766 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: You know, That's what I think. That's the only thing 767 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 1: that holds me back with the Phillies. They have the 768 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: trade assets to get a deal done. Just what is 769 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,280 Speaker 1: their preference? I don't know. I don't know the answer 770 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: to that. But everybody, I'm out of here. Thank you 771 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: for watching here today. I do appreciate all of you. 772 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: Enjoy the day off and we'll see you Friday.
