1 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to the mass of Territory, brought to you by the 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: Foul Territory Network. Today just stunk. Today was a bad day. 3 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: No fun news today, nothing good. This is gonna be 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: a melancholy said podcast episode today. You know, we've been 5 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: having a lot of fun here over the last couple 6 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: of months, lots of energy, lots of high moments, lots 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: of walkoffs, lots of energy. And you're feeling pretty good 8 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: going down the stretch here. You know, you're you're seeing 9 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: the division within reach. You know, you clawed your way 10 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: back to you know, two three games back and then 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: and then you just got some devastating news here today. 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: And yes, the Roman Anthony news today, in my opinion, 13 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: was absolutely devastating. This is a big deal. This isn't 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: just you know, I don't know, like will You're going 15 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: down That stinks, right, I mean, that's that's a loss, 16 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: you know. But you can make up for that, you know, 17 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: you can make up for that production and obviously you 18 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: would like to have him in the lineup, but you 19 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: can figure it out until he comes back. But losing 20 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,919 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony, that's a guy that's really difficult to lose. 21 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: You know, sure you could look at Alex Bregman, you know, 22 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 1: being the best player on the team, being the face 23 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: of the team, being the leader of the team, the 24 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: face of the franchise. Hopefully they re signed him to 25 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: a long term extension, but you can I think you 26 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: even though it's a half a season of a sample size, 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: I think you could look at Roman Anthony being the 28 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: best player on the team, one of the best players 29 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball at least through this half a 30 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: season that he's played, and the numbers back it up, 31 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: the eye test backs it up, the metrics back it up. 32 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: And just in case you are I haven't even said 33 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: what the news is, if you are living under a 34 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: rock and you are just hearing about this for the 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: first time, Roman Anthony is going to be out for 36 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: an extended period of time with a strained oblique, a 37 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: Grade two strained oblique. You're looking at anywhere from a 38 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: month to two months, Alex Chorus said today, four to 39 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: six weeks. I think with a with an oblique, that's 40 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: always tricky. You always gotta be careful with that. Four 41 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: to eight weeks I think is safe. But I'll dive 42 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: into my thoughts on you know, when we could maybe 43 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: see a return. I do think you can see a 44 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: return this year, but it's at the worst possible time, 45 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: you know. I'll get into the numbers with Roman hearing 46 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: a little bit how the Red Sox have done with 47 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: him ever since he got called up. And it's a 48 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: tough loss, it really is. I'm not even gonna sugarcoat it. 49 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and you know, be oh, 50 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: let's rile up the troops, let's get the positivity going. 51 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: This stinks, This is a this is a tough one 52 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm not gonna sit here. And I am 53 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: usually a glass half full kind of a guy. I 54 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: always am. I always look for the positives, but and 55 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: I still am going to be I'm still gonna look 56 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: for the positives, and I'm still gonna look for ways for, 57 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, to you know, for the Red Sox to 58 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: keep this going here, because I think they can. It's 59 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot tougher though, it is absolutely going 60 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: to be. It stinks. Today was a bad day and 61 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: then you, uh, and of course you had the game 62 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: that you had here tonight. I mean, honestly, I'm not 63 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: even gonna talk about this game really all that much. 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna waste anyone's time with this one. I'll 65 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: dive into it. I'll go over the numbers here, I'll 66 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: go over the stats, i go over the scoring. But yeah, 67 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: the Guardians, Hey, we won the series. That's what's important. 68 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: You would have loved the sweep, but it's a series 69 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: win at the end of the day. But the Guardians, 70 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: they were just all over this one here today and 71 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: it was pretty much over from the get go. And 72 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, you combine that with what we heard for 73 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: about Roman here today put a bow on top of it. 74 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: That is uh, that is one of the worst days 75 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: of the season. To be completely honest with you, we 76 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: just love a month to go, a little less than 77 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: a month to go.

We got it, like I said, 89 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: a little less than a month to go. I think 90 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: we can get there with your support.

Let's get to it here, shall we? 93 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: And uh again, I'm not really going to I'm not 94 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: gonna get really into this game all that much. The 95 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: Guardians got it off. They got started off on the 96 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: right foot. They drove in a run in the first 97 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: inning and then it was just all Guardians and the 98 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: second inning here all Guardians. Gabra Airis with a two 99 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,799 Speaker 1: run home run. They made a three to nothing. Stephen 100 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: Kwan six hits in the series overall. He went three 101 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: for five. Tonight. Stephen Kwan is so fricking good man. 102 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: He went three for five, but he knocked in another 103 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: run there to make it four to nothing. Long he 104 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: got called for interference. Brian Rokio ended up scoring. They 105 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: made a five nothing. Stephen Matz he ended up coming 106 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: in a little bit later, wild pitch scored Kwan to 107 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: make it six to nothing. A couple of errors to 108 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: the Red Sox tonight. One happened here Jared Duran liner 109 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 1: off the bat from Kyle Manzardo out to left field, 110 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: right off Jared Duran's glove. You know, Jared Duran, that athleticism. 111 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: I do appreciate it out there. But he's definitely had 112 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: his moments in the outfield this year, and that was 113 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: another one of them. Right off the glove that made 114 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: it seven to nothing. Kfus with a sack Lie the 115 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: later on of the game, and uh yeah, eight runs 116 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: from the Guardians here tonight. Now the Red Sox, they 117 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: drove in a run Nick Soguard. He ended up getting 118 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: called back up here after Roman went down. They made 119 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: it seven to one. But yeah, that was pretty much 120 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: shit here tonight. Roami he went two for four eating 121 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: he was batting lead off here tonight he went one 122 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: for three. But yeah, that was it. You just felt 123 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: the energy just it was non existent for the Red 124 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: Sox here today at Famway Park. It was just a 125 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: bummer of a day. My thoughts on the bullpen, Jordan 126 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: Hicks I'm at the point right now where you just 127 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: shut this guy down. I really am. I'd rather honestly 128 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: go down to triple A. You know, see if there's 129 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: you know, I'd rather give David Sandlin a bit of 130 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: a shot here. I mean, I mean, I don't know. 131 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm going off with the fact I haven't looked at 132 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: David Sandlin's numbers over the next couple of uh of 133 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: the over the last couple of outings here. But Jordan 134 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: Hicks is uh. I really just don't see the point 135 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: of putting him out there anymore, I really don't. I mean, 136 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: the guy, it's just a rollercoaster every single time he 137 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: goes out there. He's not effective. Sure, you can look 138 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: at the stuff and you know, maybe this common ends up, 139 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: you know, biting me in the butt here, but you know, 140 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: who knows, maybe he ends up getting it worked out 141 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: at some point over the next month or so. And 142 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: because that stuff is real, the fastball is good, the 143 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: secondaries that they could definitely do some things. But right 144 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: now he just doesn't have control. He doesn't have him. 145 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: He needs to figure himself out when it comes to 146 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: whatever's going on mechanically, whether it's something with the grip 147 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: or release point or whatever the rotation with the hips. 148 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but there's something clearly 149 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: mechanically going on with him, and they need to get 150 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: this worked out. I would much rather. I would have 151 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: rather give someone else down and triple a a shot. 152 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, give it four runs here tonight. What 153 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: are you gonna do with that? You know, what are 154 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: you gonna do? Steven Mattz he was pretty messy here tonight. 155 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,679 Speaker 1: He's been pretty solid for the most part, but tonight 156 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: wasn't one of his best nights. But I will shout 157 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: out Zach Kelly. He ended up getting called back up 158 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: here the last couple of days. Big shout out Zach Kelly. Man. 159 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: He went four innings here, four innings, two hits, four strikeouts. 160 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: I think that's the best we've seen Zach Kelly, at 161 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: least this year. I'd have to go back into the 162 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: time machine and look at how he's done over the 163 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: last couple of years. But he looked great here tonight. 164 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: That was huge, right. You got the day off tomorrow, 165 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: so that really helped out this bullpen tonight. And then 166 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: Dustin May making his bullpen debut three innings three hits one, 167 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: I earned a couple of walks. You know, Dustin May, 168 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: I will say it looked more promising than Walker Buehller 169 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: coming out of the bullpen. We'll see. I will say this. 170 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: I will say this with Dustin May. This is just 171 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: the thought off the top of my head. It's not 172 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: even in my notes. If Dustin May stays in the bullpen, 173 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: even though there was a lack of energy here today, 174 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, with the Roman news, I will say, I'm 175 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: all aboard the totally train. Peyton totally. We all felt 176 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: that energy when he came up in his debut. I'm 177 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: all about totally right now. Man, that guy. If there's 178 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: a guy that could really give you a bit of 179 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: a boost, really get your spirits up, it's that guy. 180 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: So hopefully he can you know, really help out at 181 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: least on the pitching side of things over the next 182 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: month or so. Uh. You know, sure you're gonna have 183 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: to figure this out offensively, which I'll get to here 184 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: in a little bit. But if he can give you 185 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: a boost on the mound, you know, maybe you won't 186 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: be able to replace that production with Roman with another hitter, 187 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: but maybe Totally could pick it up a little bit 188 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: or help pick help pick things up a little bit 189 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: on the pitching side, who knows, but Peyton totally let's 190 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: see if he can help bring some of that energy 191 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: back to the Red Sox here. But that was it 192 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: for tonight here, everybody, that was that was the game 193 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: here tonight. That was awful. That was one of the uh, 194 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: one of the the least interested. That's that's the out 195 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: of all the games this year, that's probably the one 196 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: where I was really lacking interest in that one here tonight. 197 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: You know, I was paying attention. I was, you know, 198 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: following along, But oh boy, that was that was not 199 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: a fun one here tonight. Let's get to the rest 200 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: of the show here. We're gonna check out the standings 201 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: hearing just a second.

Those bats really showed 240 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: up for Toronto here today against the Reds at the 241 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: Red Sox. They follow the three and a half back. 242 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: The Yankees are live as we speak, going up against 243 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: the Astros. How about that one last night or in 244 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: this series here with Franbervaldez. Wow, that was a big 245 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: story here over the last couple of days or so. 246 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: But we got a tie game here in Houston. Oh, 247 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: the Astros. They actually got the bases loaded here. I'm 248 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: all about that. Hey, four to four here a bottom 249 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: of the eighth. The Astros are cooking you've got Devin 250 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: Williams on the mound. Of course, Devin Williams is on 251 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: the mound here for the Yankees here tonight, and he's 252 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: had a lot of a lot of down moments this year. 253 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: But you got Taylor Trammel up to the plate right now. 254 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: So let's see how that one goes. But as of 255 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: right now, the Yankees, depending on how that goes, of 256 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: the Yankees end up losing that one, then we'll be 257 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: we'll be deadlocked for the for the first wild Card, well, 258 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: the Yankees will be ahead by slight percentage points. But 259 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: and then in third, got the Mariners right now, they've 260 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: dropped three straight. The Mariners are they're just losing it 261 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: right the Rangers. But the Rangers had a prime opportunity 262 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: to gain another game. That's crazy, man, the Rangers. They 263 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: just can't seem to They got red hot there. They 264 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: just can't seem to help themselves out. Man, oh man, 265 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: they're getting a prime opportunity here as of late, they 266 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: have closed the gap. But oh man, the Mariners, I mean, 267 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: the Rangers, if they had just won their last couple 268 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: of games, they'd be in the third wildcard right now. 269 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: That is crazy. But man o man the Royals, but 270 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: I mean they've been cold here too. They lost again 271 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: here today, they're sitting two and a half back. I mean, 272 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: what a prime opportunity for both these teams. Look at 273 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: the Rays here. The Rays are getting hot. They've won 274 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: sixth straight. They're starting up a series against the Guardians 275 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: here tomorrow. They're picking up the pace here. They've won 276 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: eight of their last ten. They're two and a half 277 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: back the Guardians. I mean, obviously they won here tonight. 278 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: They're three backs. So all of a sudden, you've got 279 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 1: four teams here that have put themselves within reachs. The Mariners, 280 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they got the day off tomorrow. They got 281 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: to figure this out. But the division, I'm gonna be 282 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: honest with you, and this might sound like hopeful, hopeful 283 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: thinking here, and this is going to be extremely difficult 284 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: to do, especially with the circumstances that have now been 285 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: put on our plate. You got to find a way 286 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: to win this division. And I'll tell you why here 287 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: in just a second. But let's get to the news here, 288 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: the bit of news that we've all been focused on 289 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: here for today, and that is Roman Anthony going down. 290 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony heading to the il with an oblique strain. 291 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: Timetable is tb D and uh am I cut off 292 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: on the screen again. Goodness, gracious, we're always just we're 293 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: always cut off here. I don't I don't like the 294 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: way that looks. There we go. That's that's a little 295 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: that's a little better. There we go. All right. So 296 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: Roman check swing in the game in Game two against 297 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: the Guardians in this series, and he said he felt 298 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: something on there, and then the next swing he really 299 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: felt it on there. So yeah, that's all it can 300 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: take for an oblique just one bad swing, one bad 301 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: check swing, and all of a sudden, your your body 302 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: just goes against you. And I will say this with Roman, 303 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: I will say this. You know, this tends to happen. 304 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: You know, over the years, we've seen plenty of guys 305 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: have injuries, plenty of rookies have injuries late in the season. Right, 306 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: this is your first year of pro ball, you know, 307 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: obviously the stake are very high, and for Roman playing 308 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: at a high level in a way, I'm not surprised 309 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: to see even though he's very athletic. I mean, the 310 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: guy is just built to have a good, long career. 311 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: But I'm not surprised to see his body kind of 312 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: catch up to him a little bit. Again, it's your 313 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: first year in the pros, playing at this level, playing 314 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: for you know, a spot in the postseason. The caliber 315 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: of a player that he is, in a way, I'm 316 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: not surprised, you know, in a way, I think back, 317 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: you know, I know it's a different case, but I 318 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: think back to papal Bond, back to that first season 319 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: that he was having when he got called up and 320 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: he was amazing, and then he ended up having a 321 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: dead arm, you know, late in the season, and I 322 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: think back to that. Right, It's not obviously it's two 323 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: different positions of course, picture position player, but you see 324 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: my point there. You know we've seen this not just 325 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: with Red Sox players, but you know many players on 326 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: different teams over the years, especially in their rookie seasons. Right, 327 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: he's still has to build up you know, I don't 328 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: know tolerance the right word, but build up that volume 329 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: of games plate. You know, it's a kind of you know, 330 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: get himself ready for the grind. You know, it's a 331 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: lot of baseball he's been playing. So I do expect 332 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: Roman we'll get to here the next month, but this 333 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: coming off season, he's gonna be going at it, right, 334 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: I would imagine you really got to build up that strength. 335 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 1: You've got to build up that core, you got to 336 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: build up that base to really withstand a full season. 337 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: I expect him to be really going after it this 338 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: coming off season. I wouldn't I wouldn't be surprised at all. 339 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 1: If you see Roman Anthony coming into camp next next 340 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: spring and he's looking like he's put on a little 341 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: bit of size, I would not be surprised about that. Right, 342 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: He's already got a good frame on him as is, 343 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be surprised at all. If you builds 344 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: up a little bit more athleticism over the offseason, adds 345 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: a little bit more more muscle to his frame, tends 346 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: to be a big help to help withstand that full season. 347 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: But as for now, As for now, I mean, you're 348 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: losing a heck of a player here. Like I said, 349 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: I mean, sure, it's a small sample, it's basically half 350 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: a season up to this point. But he's really shown 351 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: you how good he is, not just you know, going 352 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 1: on this hot run to start the you know, to 353 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: start his career. We've seen a lot of rookies do 354 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: that over the past. But the difference with Roman is 355 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: he passes the stat test, the metrics test, the eye test. 356 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: He passes all the tests. Right, this guy is gonna 357 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: have a very good, long career. Losing a player like 358 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: this is very tough. And looking at the numbers here, 359 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's so good hitting two ninety two, three 360 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: ninety six on base, that's the one that jumps off 361 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: the page. He's extremely tough at bat, gets his walks. Sure, 362 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: the k's are going to be up there a little bit, 363 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: but Holy col gets on base, but drives the ball 364 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: with authority as well, puts extremely good hard contact on 365 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: the ball. It's it's like out of this world. Honestly, 366 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: three ninety six on base in your rookie year. I mean, 367 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,479 Speaker 1: that's discussing eight fifty nine ohps. Overall, the fact that 368 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: we've seen the hard hit balls, the exit ve low 369 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: from him, and we haven't even seen his full power 370 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: potential at this point. You're only going to see that 371 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: power get better over time as he develops more into 372 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: the player that we all know we can be. This 373 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: is a tough loss, and I'm just to give you 374 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:55,120 Speaker 1: an idea of where Roman ranked across all of Major 375 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: League Baseball. When it comes to on base percentage among 376 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: all players with at least three hundred plate appearances, he 377 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: ranked sixth in on base percentage at three ninety six. 378 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge number one with the four to forty two 379 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: Will Smith having a heck of a year. Goodness, gracious 380 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: Will Smith. Roner Kunyr Junior. Obviously we know how good 381 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: that guy is. Nick Kurtz, Holy cow, this guy's having 382 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: a crazy year. Want Soto only just ahead a little 383 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: bit of Roman? I mean, that's just crazy. I mean, Soto, 384 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, he's really picked it up here, So I mean, 385 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: I feel like that's been kind of going under the radar. 386 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 1: Side note, Juan Soto also Wan Sodas twenty seven stolen 387 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: bases this year. Listen, I know we're talking about Roman, 388 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: but I mean, holy cow, won Sota having himself a year. 389 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: But uh, the fact that Roman Anthony is right in 390 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: this company, I mean, it just goes to show how 391 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: good this guy is and how big of a loss 392 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: he is. So with Roman here, is he going to 393 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: be able to get back by the end of the season. 394 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think that is pretty much 395 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: off the table. Unless is just uh, I mean, we 396 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: all see, you know, the level of a player he is. 397 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: I mean, who, let's see how he heals here? Is 398 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: he just complete? Is he just an absolute alien? Is 399 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: he gonna be, you know, feeling good ahead of schedule 400 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, you know, even still, even 401 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: if he ends up being a pretty pretty fast healer, 402 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: I feel like the Red Sox they're not gonna push that. 403 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: And uh, I think you're looking at four weeks minimum. 404 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: Even if he's feeling good in a few weeks, I 405 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna push it, you know. So I think, 406 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think the absolute minimum absolute would be 407 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: the division round. I think they would if you get 408 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: to if you're in the wildcard round, obviously you would 409 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: love to have him for that. But the Red Sox, 410 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: you know, their goal of this year is to make 411 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: the postseason. You know, that's the first hurdle. Yes, we 412 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: all want to win World Series, but the first hurdle 413 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: is goes getting to the postseason, right, playing postseason baseball 414 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: for this young group, you know. So, I don't know, 415 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Red Sox would do it 416 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: for the wildcard round, division round, depending on how he's feeling. 417 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: If they make it to that point, I think that 418 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: could maybe. Again, it really depends on if he's feeling good, 419 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: if he's feeling better right, if everything is looking good, 420 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: he's checking off all the boxes when it comes to 421 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: the rehab. The doctor has given the clearance, the athletic 422 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 1: trainers given the clearance. Every you know, the organization clears him. 423 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: I think that is probably the dream scenario. It's to 424 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: get him back. I think the dream scenario is getting 425 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: back for the wildcard. I think the more realistic dream 426 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: is to getting back for the division round if you 427 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: make it there. Alex Corus said today that he was 428 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: telling Roman, get yourself ready for the ALCS game one. 429 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: Let's see if they can make it to that point. 430 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: That kind of tells me that's probably the date they're 431 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: looking for. That's about five weeks. Who knows, maybe he 432 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: ends up changing some minds. Only time will tell up 433 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: to that point. But until then, what do you do 434 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: about this lineup? Listen, just going over some numbers here. 435 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: The Red Sox were thirty two and thirty five before 436 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: they called him up. They've gone forty four and twenty 437 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: seven in the games that he's played in since getting 438 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: called up. That's a huge difference. Now, what is this 439 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: team going to be at this point in the year 440 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: without Roman. We got the taste without Roman in the 441 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, right, There was just a whole 442 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: bunch of nonsense going on at the beginning of the year. 443 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: Bad defense, bad base running, bad bullpen management at times, 444 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: right starting pitching, still trying to figure themselves out. You 445 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: had some injuries, right, So that's a different time of 446 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: the year. I'm curious to see what this team will 447 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: be like now without Roman because it is a different team. Obviously, 448 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: it is different without Roman, but it's still different compared 449 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: to what we saw. You know, the worst series of 450 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: the year, in my opinion, was the Brewers Series. This 451 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: team is nowhere near what they were at that point. 452 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: You still got a ton of talent in this lineup 453 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: without Roman, Obviously, you still got these guys like Duran 454 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: and Bregman. You would love to have Willier back at 455 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: this point, but that's another one where he's coming back 456 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: slow here, and I talked about that. I mentioned that 457 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: with Willier and I said, listen, don't be surprised if 458 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: that ends up taking a little longer because you don't 459 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: want to rush anything with the calf. You just don't. 460 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: The calf is extreme. One man, that's just it's one 461 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: of those. It's just a pain in the butt. Now 462 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: with what they have now, I mean, you got Duran, 463 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: you got Bragman. You know, I will say this, Nate Lowe, 464 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: if he can keep on doing what he's been doing, 465 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: that's massive, that's huge, right. And then story obviously, with 466 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: the year that he's had, Masa, you know, he can 467 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: give you a good at bat, but he's really gonna 468 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: have to get a bit more consistent here. Romy as well. 469 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: He's gotten hot here lately. Let's see if he can 470 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: keep it going. Obviously, SETI he's been tremendous. And then 471 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, the bottom of the order here. I think 472 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: what losing Roman does is that you have the You 473 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: had him at the leadoff spot, and he was just 474 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 1: so good out of the leadoff spot. I mean, the 475 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: guy was tremendous. Ops over one thousand, he was. I 476 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: think you could argue the best leadoff hitter in the game. 477 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: I really, I really believe that with what he was 478 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: able to do getting on base and the damage that 479 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: he could do in that spot, and then he had 480 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: these guys like Bregman and Duran coming up after him, 481 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: you know where. You know, it's like what it was 482 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: horrific for these other teams pitching staffs, right, so they're 483 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: really gonna have to have these guys step up. And 484 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: I'm wondering, is Duran gonna go back here to the 485 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: leadoff spot because they moved him down a little further 486 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: more to the middle of the order, and you know, 487 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: we saw good things for him then we saw you know, yes, 488 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: Duran has been picking it up here a little bit 489 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: over the last week or so, but he went cold 490 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: there for a couple of weeks prior to that. Does 491 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: he go back to the leadoff spot full time? Now? 492 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: I think you will see him there. But I could 493 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 1: see Korra kind of mixing and matching in that leadoff spot. 494 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: You know, we saw Eaton there tonight. You know, I 495 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised at all, you know, against the lefties, 496 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: Rob refsni are going back there. Could you see Romey 497 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: get some chances there? You know, I think they're gonna 498 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: I would like to think Duran and is gonna get 499 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: the brunt of the lead off time. But I wouldn't 500 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: be surprised to see him mix and match. You know, 501 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of where I'm at. But these guys are 502 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: really gonna have to pick it up without Roman here, 503 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see what ends up happening. 504 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: But that's kind of what I'm thinking with the lineup. 505 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: For the most part, I do have to wrap it 506 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: up right there. If you are watching on Nesson, we 507 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: are out of time. Thank you for joining us here today. 508 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: We have the off day tomorrow. We'll be back here 509 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: Friday night. Everybody on Nesson. I'll see you then if 510 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: you want to see the rest of the show, coming 511 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: over to Massa Territory on YouTube. Until then, I'll see 512 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: you Friday night here on YouTube. Let's wrap this up here. 513 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: But that's kind of what I'm thinking here with this lineup. 514 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: And also, are you gonna see maybe some reinforcements come 515 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: up from the minor leagues. Joe Stinson the password Garcia. 516 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: Do you see him again? Does Christian Campbell make his return? 517 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: I think it's possible. I think that could be on 518 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: the table if they feel like they need to, you know, 519 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: try and go after, you know, get another impact bat 520 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: or possible impact bat. Maybe those guys get the call. 521 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 1: I will say this with I feel like they're being 522 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: I've talked about this with Christian Campbell. I feel like 523 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: they're being very careful with him. I actually wouldn't be 524 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: surprised if Case ends up just staying in Worcester for 525 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: the rest of the year. I would not be surprised 526 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: at all. Joe Stinson, I could see him getting called 527 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: back up here, and he saw him get a double 528 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: there before he ended up getting sent back down, so 529 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: maybe he gets another shot. I think it's about especially 530 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: with Willier still out. I think you need something here. 531 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: I think you need something. But uh, it's kind of 532 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: where I'm at with this lineup as of right now. 533 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: Just take a look here. I think I had one 534 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: more thing. We did have something here on Kyle Harrison 535 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: from Alex Spear. He posted this this morning, and uh, 536 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: this was interesting about Kyle Harrison, So I guess he's 537 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: been dealing with let me read this. This could change, 538 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: but as of this morning, the Red Sox were not 539 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: planning to call up Kyle Harrison for today's game. I 540 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: read somewhere that he's been dealing with a bit of 541 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: an ankle, sort of a thing. I don't recall who 542 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: put that and was it Catillo. I saw somewhere out 543 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: there that there was some kind of an ankle thing 544 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: going on with Harrison. I apologize, I can't remember who 545 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: put that out there. But Harrison, again, I've talked about this. 546 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: That's another one. I don't think they want to rush 547 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: this guy, especially if he is dealing with some kind 548 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: of an ankle thing. Right, they were already taking their 549 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: time with him, But if he's also dealing with an injury, 550 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: then yeah, I mean, you don't want to push that, 551 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: so keep your eyes on that. But that does help 552 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: answer I think a little bit of this whole Kyle 553 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: Harrison thing. Is he coming up? Is he not coming up? 554 00:29:54,360 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. But hopefully with Roman, hopefully this guy 555 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: can make a speedy recovery and we could see him 556 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,959 Speaker 1: again before the end of the year. And getting back 557 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: to the standings, I'm gonna put out one more thing. 558 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: This is gonna be very difficult, and I mean, we're 559 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: hoping to win the division with Roman, you know, we're 560 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: hoping to claw our way back into that number one, 561 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: get to that number one spot in the East. Without Roman, 562 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be extremely difficult. But if they could figure 563 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: that out, and if the Red Sox could somehow some 564 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: way position themselves as the one or two seed in 565 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: the American League, then I wonder if that point, at 566 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: that point, you could see Roman again, or that could 567 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: be the earliest we could see him. You get the 568 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: buye in the wildcard round and then you see him 569 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: in the division round. That I think I wouldn't put 570 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: that off the table. I think that could be possible, 571 00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 1: but I think the only way is uh, obviously, they 572 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: make it to the wildcard round, and they make it 573 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: out of it, then you know, you could still see him. 574 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: But that would be the best case scenario in my opinion. 575 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: You know, if you can just skip the wildcard round. 576 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: I know everyone gets all scared of, you know, skipping 577 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: the wildcard round. It ruins your momentum, you know, but hey, 578 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: I think that to me would be the best case 579 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: scenario for the Red Sox. That's gonna be extremely difficult, 580 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: but we'll see. I will say this, this Red Sox 581 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: pitching staff Crochet he is, he is gonna be. He's 582 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: gonna have to be lights out for the next several starts. 583 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: We cannot have another start like we saw yesterday against 584 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: Cleveland where he gave up four home runs. We can't 585 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,479 Speaker 1: have that. He's got to really knuckle down here. Obviously 586 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: he's been amazing this year. He's been great, but we're 587 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: gonna need Crochet to really get this get this tight 588 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: over the next month. And then Peyton totally, I'm just 589 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: excited to have him, and I'm not gonna put the 590 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: world on him. Obviously he's still a rookie. But if 591 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: he could really give you similar to what he just 592 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: did in his debut, if he can just give you that, 593 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,479 Speaker 1: then man, that's gonna be a huge boost. Gilid Obeo. 594 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: They've obviously been solid here, so I do think totally 595 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 1: that's a that's big right there. If you can get 596 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: that production, that's really gonna help lift this team, and 597 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna give them some good energy as well. You know, hey, 598 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 1: you just got obviously a big reinforcement with Zach Kelly. 599 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: I wonder if Zach Kelly possibly you know, I don't know, man, 600 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: I keep thinking about Jordan Hicks here. That was brutal 601 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: for him here tonight at this point, do you like, 602 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: did Zach Kelly just earn some trust moving forward over 603 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks at this point, why not? Why not just 604 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: lean into that. You just saw him pitch great here tonight. 605 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: I'd rather go with Zach Kelly after tonight over Jordan 606 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: Hicks by a mile and a half, two miles at least, 607 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: so we'll see everybody. We are going to do a 608 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: mail bag segment before we get to that, though, we 609 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: do have one more word from our sponsor. 610 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 3: I'll bring it back, okay, KP. This is your first 611 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 3: arena club experience. We're going to open a slab pack together. 612 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 3: So first off, we're gonna buy one of those twenty 613 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 3: five dollars slab packs and we get to see what 614 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 3: is in the pack. There it is the Grail, which 615 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 3: is the best card in the pack and worth the most. 616 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 3: There are some other cards that we're chasing, and you 617 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 3: can see the entire lineup so that you know what 618 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 3: you're in the running for. There's the Yamamoto signed card. 619 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 3: Now let's open up our pack and see how we do. 620 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 3: We have ourselves a really cool graphic and then a 621 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 3: show heo Tani fifty to fifty card from last year. 622 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 3: What do you want to do? Should we sell it 623 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 3: right back to them for sixteen or should we keep it? 624 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: You should give it to me. 625 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 3: I'll keep good answer, Fine, I will give it to you. 626 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 3: Since the Blue Jays didn't getto Tani, you can get 627 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 3: this fifty to fifty card instead. Here's the code foul 628 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 3: foul to get yourself twenty percent off your first slab 629 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 3: pack or card purchase. Yes, you get to keep that 630 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 3: card if you want it. They send it to you 631 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 3: foul at Arena club dot com slash. 632 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: Fa alrighty, let's get to the last segment of the 633 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: show for tonight's episode, And we're gonna do a mail 634 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: bag here. And I put the pole putting not the pole. 635 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,560 Speaker 1: I put the thread on Twitter. And now let's see 636 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: what we got in here, shall we. Dylan says, do 637 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: you just dfa Hicks at this point? No, it feels 638 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: like it feels like that would be the best thing. 639 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: I'm I'm off the Hicks train man, at least for 640 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: right now. I don't think they will. I mean I 641 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: don't see Nah. I do think the Red Sox they 642 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: see him as a guy that can contribute. But I 643 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: think they're gonna have to get to the lab with 644 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 1: him this offseason. They're gonna have to figure something out. 645 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't. I think Hicks will still 646 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 1: be with the team next year unless they move him 647 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: in the off season. Maybe another maybe the Red Sox 648 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,240 Speaker 1: have had enough, but they keep throwing him out there, 649 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: so that kind of gives me the impression that they 650 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: still see something in him because they keep running him 651 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: out there every single time. So maybe they feel like 652 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: fresh start next year. Maybe that could be better. A 653 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: big d from West Virginia. Wise, Hicks still on this team. 654 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: A lot of people upset about Jordan Hicks. Joshua Webster, 655 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 1: He asked here, do you feel the Red Sox feel 656 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: regret about not going for it at the deadline? Bad 657 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: judgment by the Red Sox. I think Breslo had a 658 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: great offseason and it might be ruined by his inactivity 659 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: at the deadline. I think people will remember that more. 660 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: You know, I'll say this, I'll play a little Devil's 661 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: advocate there. I'll go to the opposite. I wonder if 662 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: the Red Sox feel like maybe it was a good 663 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: thing they didn't. They didn't really go all in at 664 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: the deadline. If if the if the universe was planning 665 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: on Roman going down, you know, and you ended up 666 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: giving up some top tier, you know, prospects to go 667 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: to go after like a rental or something like that. 668 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: Do you feel like maybe that that it was worth 669 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: it just to hang on to those guys if you're 670 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: gonna lose Roman, if you're gonna lose Roman anyway, So 671 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 1: I could look at it that side of the coin too, 672 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: And I think you could maybe even look at the 673 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: front office thinking that way too, because it's not like, 674 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: you know, we were looking at adding pitching and uh, you 675 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: weren't planning on Roman going down, you know, So I 676 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: think you look at it that way. I think again, 677 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: I'll get back to it, and I know it might 678 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 1: not be a popular answer. Obviously you want to win 679 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: the World Series every year, but I think from the 680 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,359 Speaker 1: organization's point of view, they really just wanted to get 681 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,879 Speaker 1: to the postseason this year and hopefully they can win 682 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: a World Series. I mean, obviously every team wants to that, 683 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: but I think just the first the goal was to 684 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: get there first and then see what happens next year. 685 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: This is why I think this offseason could be huge 686 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox, and I think next year's deadline 687 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: that's when you maybe see them pull that trigger. May 688 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 1: J's what is our realistic ceiling without Roman? Hm? I 689 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: mean if you can, let's see, if you how many 690 00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:41,839 Speaker 1: games we do we have left? We have got Let's 691 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: take a look. So we got three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen, 692 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: we got twenty one games left. If you go five 693 00:37:56,280 --> 00:38:01,359 Speaker 1: hundred in those games, well then you're gonna be at 694 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: eighty nine wins. I still think I think this team 695 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: can go a couple of games over five hundred the 696 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: rest of the way. I do think ninety one wins 697 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: is still in reach without Roman. I do think that 698 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 1: they're playing so good with him. I mean that's a 699 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: you know, let me let me do some math. Let 700 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: let me make try so Roman here. I'm gonna so 701 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: Roman was on pace. I'm gonna do a little bit 702 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:34,760 Speaker 1: of math on the fly here. So at this point 703 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: he had a two point seven f war over seventy 704 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,799 Speaker 1: one games if he played, if that was over a 705 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: full one to sixty two, he was on pace to 706 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:53,239 Speaker 1: be a six point one wins above replacement. So if 707 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 1: you do that over twenty one games, that's about one 708 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,239 Speaker 1: win total. I know that might sound crazy, but I 709 00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: think you're looking at the red Sox being they probably 710 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: lose a couple more games. It's kind of I was 711 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: thinking they had a shot at like going like maybe 712 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: like ninety three, ninety four. But I think without Roman, 713 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: I think you could say ninety ninety one. I think 714 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: it's possible eighty nine at the minimum. I think this 715 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 1: team can go five hundred without Roman. They should go 716 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: five hundred even without Roman, absolutely, but I think they 717 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: are capable of going thirteen and nine the rest of 718 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: the way, twelve and ten. I think you can do that. 719 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: So ninety ninety one wins. That's kind of where I'm at. 720 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: Still a couple more here, shall we? This is a 721 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: funny one from from Yomi Yahoo. Now that they're finally good, 722 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: Why does the universe hate this team? You know it 723 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: came out of nowhere, right, you know, of all the 724 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: guys to go down, it was Roman, you know, brutal 725 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: Zach Kelly, Ace's shadow, Zach Kelly future on the Red Sox. 726 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: I mean, like I said earlier, I wonder if he 727 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: earned himself a couple extra outings here to give him 728 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: another chance. Mayor of co Hog, When will Jordan Hicks 729 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: stop hurting me? Us? Goodness, gracious Tommy Bennett. Does Hicks 730 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: make the postseason roster? No, I don't think so. I 731 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 1: don't see how you could go unless he miraculously figures 732 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: it out over this next month, which I have a 733 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: hard time seeing. But uh, that's all I got here 734 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: for the mail bag here tonight, everybody. Oh, did the 735 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,920 Speaker 1: Astros end up winning that one? Here tonight? Did they 736 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: pull that out? Oh? They got an eight to seven 737 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: lead in the top of the ninth. Okay, well that 738 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: could be a big boost there. Let's see if the 739 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: Astros can hang on to it. But everybody, I'm gonna 740 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 1: wrap it up right there. Thank you for joining me 741 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: here tonight. Again.
