1 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to another late night edition of Most Territory, brought 2 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: to you by the Foul Territory Network. Well, that one 3 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: absolutely stunked. That just stunk. I mean, as you can 4 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: see in the thumbnail for tonight's show, I called it dumped, 5 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: and that's because of the dumper himself. Cal Rally. This guy, 6 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: he just owns the Red Sox in his career. Man, 7 00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: this guy's phenomenal. He's having a tremendous year. He almost 8 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: single handedly destroyed the Red Sox tonight. But you can't 9 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: leave out Brian Wu from that discussion as well. He 10 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: was phenomenal tonight for the Mariners. This was a complete 11 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: mismatch for the Red Sox tonight because Walker Bueller he 12 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: just had nothing tonight. You know, just looking at the 13 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: breakdown of his pictures to looking at his game plan, 14 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, what the heck is this guy doing tonight? 15 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: I have no idea. You know, Bueller so far this year, 16 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: he he just goes in all these different directions, Like 17 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: he goes back and forth on you know what pitches 18 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: to lead with, you know what to work with when 19 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: it comes to his out pitches, like he's just all 20 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: over the place. You know, has a great start his 21 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: last time out, and then you look at tonight's breakdown 22 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: with him, you look at the pitch usage, and it's like, 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: what happened to the last start? Like, I understand, you 24 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: got to make adjustments, but you know, to me with 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,679 Speaker 1: this Maritors team, you know, when I saw you know, 26 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: the pictures that he was leading with compared to what 27 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: he was doing last time against the Rays, I'm thinking 28 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 1: to myself, well, I'll get to the breakdown here in 29 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: just a little bit. I'm just going over the intro here, 30 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: but the pitch mix was confusing to me tonight with Bueller, 31 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: there's really not much else to say. I mean, the 32 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: Red Sox they got they got their Highknies kick tonight, 33 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about that. We might as well just 34 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: dive into this. I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you, 35 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: I kind of want to get through this one pretty 36 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: quick here. Tonight. It was a late one last night. 37 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: I am extremely tired. I've been tired all day. I'm 38 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: not used to being up until, you know, two in 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: the morning, especially doing postgame shows. But yeah, I'm very tired. 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: Ladies and John, You're gonna be very honest, it's been 41 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: another another emotional day, you know, going over all the 42 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: Raffi fallout. I believe the Giants are finishing up their 43 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: game now. They had the bases loaded in the bottom 44 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: of the ninth. I don't know if they ended up 45 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: winning that game or not. But you had Raffi getting 46 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: introduced today to the Giants, faithful, the front office over 47 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: there introducing him, you know, putting the new jersey on him, 48 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: had the media there. Yeah, you know, just another you know, 49 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: another day of fallout with this whole thing. Seeing more reports, 50 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go over those as well. I went over 51 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: a lot of reports last night. I went over a 52 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: lot of quotes last night. We're not going to go 53 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 1: that deep tonight. I mean there's I'm gonna say. Actually, 54 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: fortunately there's not as much to talk about tonight. I 55 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: want to get through it pretty quick. But just going 56 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: over this game here tonight again. You know, the Red Sox, 57 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: they really had nothing going offensively. They had a couple 58 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: of hard hit balls early on. You know, Duran Meyer 59 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: got into a couple there, but couldn't really get anything going. 60 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: Shout out. Marcela Meyer had a nice play in the 61 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: fifth inning at third base going to his right, and 62 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: it made a long throw over to first base. But 63 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: that's really it. From the offensive point of view. You 64 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: had nothing tonight. But Bueller, let me get into the 65 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: breakdown here. Well, flat out, he just stunk. He had nothing. 66 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: And v Low was around the same compared to his 67 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: eager lely average. His spin rates were down a little bit. 68 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: But this is what I was talking about in the intro. 69 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: Last time against the Rays, led with the sinker and 70 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,559 Speaker 1: the fastball. Effective pictures for him, right he was working efficiently, 71 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: he was getting ground balls, he was attacking the zone. 72 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: You know, just a good night for Walker Bueller last 73 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: time out. But then tonight he starts leaning into the 74 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: cutter and the slider more. And I'm thinking, why why 75 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: this Mariner's offense. They have not done well against fastballs 76 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: this year. They rank twenty third in fastball run value 77 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: on the year. I'm thinking to myself, like why, Like 78 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: I mean, and when he was throwing the fastball, it 79 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: was just meat balls right down the heart of the plate. 80 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: There were so many hit able pictures with him tonight. 81 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: He had nothing for a put away pitch. He had 82 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: nothing tonight, and you could almost see it in the 83 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: body language with him, kind of just the way he 84 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: was on the mound. The tempo was slow. Just something 85 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: didn't seem right with Bueller. I don't know, like he 86 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: just didn't seem to have it tonight. I don't know. 87 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: There was something about him body language wise that didn't 88 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: scream confidence to me, especially in the early going. Obviously 89 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: when he started getting hit hard, you know, you saw 90 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: him kind of moping around out there. But even the 91 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: early going, this wasn't really seeing a lot of confidence 92 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,119 Speaker 1: with him. Four walks, he lacked command. He's walking guys 93 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: all over the place, leaving pitches all over the plate. 94 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: First inning, cal Raley one hundred and seven miles per 95 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: hour on a base hit to right field. That was 96 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: the first red flag to me. Then he walked Polonko. 97 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: He was able to get out of that. But then 98 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: the second inning, this is another thing that this was 99 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: the part about the tempo that really was not looking 100 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: good with me. Throws a sinker right down the middle 101 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: of the plate to Rowdy Telez, had the base hit, 102 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: and then he steals second base. How are you letting 103 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: Rowdy te Lez steal second base? What are you doing 104 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: out there? I mean to me, Head's not really in 105 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: the game. Head's not really in the game. He walked Williamson, 106 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: curveball right down the middle top to Cole Young, RBI 107 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: double made it one nothing. Hamilton throwing at Williamson at 108 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: home did prevent the second run, so you kind of 109 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: were breathing a sigh of relief there. But then he 110 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: walked Crawford, he walked j Rod, and then cow Rally 111 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: with the grand slam made it five nothing, hung with 112 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: change up right over the plate. So like he just 113 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: lacked the command tonight. He had nothing tonight, seventh career 114 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: home run against the Red Sox. This guy is having 115 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: a massive year, massive year. Dumped all over the Red 116 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: Sox tonight. He had fifty four pitches through two winnings. 117 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: Just a horrible night, horrible night. Fourth inning, Raley adding 118 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: on two run double made it seven to nothing. Fastball 119 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: right down the heart of the plate. Like none of 120 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: these pictures were even competitive, nothing nothing, So a horrible night. 121 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: I don't know if he just lacked the feel. I 122 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: wonder what it was like, you know, in the bullpen 123 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: session prior to his start. I don't know, just everything 124 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: looked off with him tonight. Sackfly from Polanco made it 125 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: eight nothing. That was it. That was it. There's really 126 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: not much else to say. Shout out to the bullpen, 127 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: at least to give them some credit, right they held 128 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: it down. You know, at that point, the Mariners they're 129 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: already they're already packing their bags, ready to go. They 130 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: got eight runs on the board. You got Brian wu. 131 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: You know, probably not a whole lot of motivation there, 132 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: but you know, the bullpen at least did lock it down. 133 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: Kelly won in two thirds. Two k's Bernardino. Kind of 134 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: another messy outing for Bernardino. Not as bad as it's 135 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: been the last couple of outings. You know, give up 136 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: a hit, a walk. Alkala making his debut, Jorge Alkle, 137 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: remember the Red Sox traded for him not too long ago. 138 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: Had a strikeout, fifteen pitches, ten strikes, so I guess 139 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: there was something there. Guerrero, he came in, give up 140 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: a walk. That was it. So shout out to the bullpen. 141 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: Shout out to the bullpen. We are going to get 142 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: to the Game three preview. We do have a pretty 143 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: good matchup tomorrow, and think, goodness, thank the that it 144 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: is at four o'clock Eastern time tomorrow.

And uh, 173 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: like I said, it's a good picturing matchhup, I'm excited 174 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: for it. And we saw how good Garrett Crochet was 175 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: his last time out, and uh, let's pull this up here. 176 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: Crochet on the year six and four, two point twenty 177 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: four ELRA one hundred and seventeen k's he's one of 178 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: the best pictures in baseball this year. Please excuse the 179 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: sharing of the screen. I don't know why it continues 180 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: to be slow. I've been clearing out a whole bunch 181 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: of files off my computer. I don't know why it's 182 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: still moving slow. There we go, there it is. But 183 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: Luis Castillo, he's also having a pretty solid year. However, 184 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: I do think this is a pretty good matchup for 185 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: the Red Sox to borrow, not just because Garrett Crochet 186 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: is on the mountain, but I think the Red Sox 187 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: match up very well against Luis Castillo. Now, let's talk 188 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: about crochet first eight and a third seven k's last 189 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: outing against the Yankees, airing jugs ruined the complete game shutout, 190 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: but nonetheless he was dominant in that game. Crochet was 191 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: just attacking the zone, going with the four seamers, throwing 192 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: in some cutters, throwing in some sliders there. Crochet looked 193 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: fantastic his last time out. The v low was looking 194 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: great late in the outing as well. You started one 195 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: hundred miles per hour in the ninth inning for crying 196 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 1: out loud. But like we saw tonight, Cayle Raley, gotta 197 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: be careful with him. He does have a home run 198 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: against him in his career, a long with Randy Rosarana. 199 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: So two guys you have to be careful with Tomorrow. 200 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: That's going to be the main assignment. I think for tomorrow. 201 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: You know, Polanco has a couple of hits against them, 202 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: but those are the two he really needs to look 203 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: out for. However, when it comes to Luis Castillo, Jared 204 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: Durand is of a home run against him Abraham Toro, 205 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: as well as a homer against him. However, I'm going 206 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: to say this now with Luis Castillo, he has had 207 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: an effective fastball this year. He's throwing it more up 208 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: in the zone, right, so let's see what the Red 209 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: Sox can do against that. It has been his best 210 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: picture this year. So I'm gonna say probably the best approach. 211 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: Maybe try not to, you know, look for fastballs too 212 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: much to attack. Look for the sliders in the changeups, 213 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: two pitches that have not been very good for him 214 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: this year. He's been leaving them out over the plate 215 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: more hitters are hitting. Let me actually take a look 216 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: here at the numbers. When it comes to the slider 217 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: this year, batters have a four to seventy four slugging 218 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: against it. The change up batters are hitting three thirteen 219 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: against it with a four to sixty nine slugging. And 220 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 1: then the sinker as well, he has mixed in right 221 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: around twenty percent. Batters are hitting two ninety nine against it. 222 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: So fastballs, you might want to hold off there. But 223 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to the slider, sinker, change up that 224 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: I think those are the pictures you need to look for. 225 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: Look for some mistake pictures there. Look for those pictures 226 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: out over the zone, and I think the Red Sox 227 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: they'll be in a h they'll be in a nice space. 228 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: And for the Red Sox this year, they've been a 229 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: team that's done pretty well against secondary pitches. Right. They've 230 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: had their issues with fastballs at times this year, but 231 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: it's the breaking and off speed pitches they tend to 232 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: do better against. So that's why I think this could 233 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: be a pretty decent matchup against Luis Castio Tomo and 234 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet. What I also like about him in this outing, 235 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: not just because of the good year he having, but 236 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: the Mariners are not a good fastball hitting team. They're 237 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: in the bottom ten when it comes to fastball run value. 238 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: I just mentioned that earlier. Why wasn't Walker Bueller, you know, 239 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: attacking with the fastballs again. He had a couple of 240 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: fastballs I got eaten alive tonight. But that's a location 241 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: thing I would have been to me. I think, you know, sure, 242 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: it's a flyball park with a team mobile. I think 243 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: the last time I think I said Safego Field in 244 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: the last episode. I'm so used to it being named Safeco. 245 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: But you know location was an issue for Bueller tonight, 246 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: but to me, you know, it would have been nice 247 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: to you know, trying it to go so much with 248 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 1: the cutter like he was tonight, right, going so much 249 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: with the sliders, right. I would have really liked him 250 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: to stick with the fastball sinker combo. You know, it 251 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: is what it is. But with Garret Crochet, we all 252 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: know how good the fastball is with him. Mariners not 253 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: good against fastballs this year, so that's one advantage already. 254 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: They also haven't hit sliders well this year either. Garat Crochet, 255 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: He's got himself a couple of good ones there. So 256 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: I think this is a prime opportunity to win this series. 257 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: Obviously not feeling very good right now. But you took 258 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: the first game, he dropped a second. It's okay. You 259 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: know we're not gonna win every single game, you know 260 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: in a row. Here, six game win streak snapped. Okay, 261 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to lose eventually, but let's get back 262 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: on track tomorrow, get the series win. So let's get 263 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: on to the drama, shall we. Let's get on to 264 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: the drama, and it keeps on going with mister Raffi 265 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: Devers here and I just saw the final here. The 266 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: Giants do lose this one. They had the bases loaded Raffi, 267 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: he got a couple of hits tonight, had the RBI 268 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: double and his second. Ab struck out in his first 269 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: and then he had the base hit there in the 270 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: ninth to get on. Unfortunately, Red Sox legend Dom Smith 271 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: couldn't come through. Casey Schmidt struck out against Classe class. 272 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: He's been up and down this year, man, But the 273 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: Guardians spoiling Raffi Dever's debut. But we have a lot 274 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: to talk about with mister Raffi, A lot to talk 275 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: about here, not as much as last night. We had 276 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: a lot to talk about last night with Raffi. I'm 277 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: very happy that it's not that much tonight. But we 278 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: had the press conference today in San Francisco. Well not 279 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: let's backtrack a little bit right there. This man was 280 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: introduced with an orange carpet onto the field. He had, 281 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, smoke going all around him. The Giants that 282 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: they brought out the h they brought out the theat 283 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: I can't speak. They brought out the theatrics with Raffi 284 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: here and he was wearing a backpack He's like, okay, 285 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: all right, cool, right, smoke flying all over the place. Okay, 286 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: thank you for the intro. But he eventually had to 287 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: sit down press conference being introduced, got his jersey number sixteen. 288 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: But there was some drama that came out of this one, 289 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be I'm gonna be honest with you. 290 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. I was kind of expecting it. The 291 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: big takeaway from this one that everyone was reacting to 292 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: tonight saying the quote said he's there to play wherever 293 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: they want him to play. He was also taking ground 294 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: balls at first base. Yeah, I mean, what else is 295 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: there to say really after that, especially after all of 296 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: this the last you know, month and a half, to 297 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: go back to spring training right where you know where 298 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: Raffi's playing. That is just a It's been the hot 299 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: topic the last few months here, especially over the last 300 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: month or so. Well, it cooled down a little bit, 301 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: but you know, first base I turned into a hot 302 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: topic issue. Greg Breslow asked him to play first after 303 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: Tristan Cassis went down. He said no. He brought it 304 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: to the media. He started attacking Breslow and the media. 305 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: So it's the whole thing we already know the story. 306 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: We don't need to break that down anymore. But the 307 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: fact that he said what he said at the press conference, right, 308 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: that's what you should be saying, right, you should be saying, 309 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 1: wherever you need me to play, I'm here to help 310 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: the team win. But obviously that was a big contrast 311 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: compared to what happened with the Red Sox. Let's I've 312 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: into a couple of reports here that dug into that 313 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: a little bit more. Chris Catillo of mass Live. He 314 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: reported that he would have been willing to play first 315 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: base in Boston had he felt the team communicated with 316 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: him better. He was irritated at the team not being 317 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: upfront with him about Bregman and Aaronato in the off season, 318 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: so he felt like he was being kind of left out, 319 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 1: you know, of this whole conversation. And but also on 320 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: top of that, they told him, they told Raffi, hey, 321 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: you're good man. You know that that's false. Don't believe 322 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: the rumors. Now you are good to go, you are 323 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: third baseman. Obviously that ended up not being true. Uh, 324 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't know why the Red Sox were even you know, 325 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: they were even taking that approach in the first place. 326 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: Out of everything I've reacted to here over the last 327 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 1: few days, even going back to the whole first base conversation, 328 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: the one thing that I have consistently said is the 329 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: Red Sox they should have talked to him, like the 330 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: Phillies do with Harper, like the Yankees do with Judge, 331 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: like many other teams out there, talk to their players right, 332 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: especially when it could be your position that could be 333 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: changed in the process. What they should have done. This 334 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: is what the Red Sox should have done. This is 335 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: what they should have done at the end of last year, 336 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: once the season was over. That is when you should 337 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: have sat Raffi down, not in the off season, the 338 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: last game, right after that, Hey, Raffi, we want to 339 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: come talk to you. We want to talk about our 340 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: plans for this coming off season. If not that right 341 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: after the game, it should have been at least a 342 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: few days after right once things may be settled down. 343 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: You should have had a conversation with Raffi firmly early going, 344 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: said hey, this is kind of where we're at with 345 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: you at third base. Here are the numbers. You know, 346 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: we feel like you're not improving much at third base, 347 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: but we see value with you either maybe playing first 348 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: base or DH. We would really love to go after 349 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman. We feel like he can help our team. 350 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: We could maybe go after Nolan Arnado possibly. We want 351 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: to communicate that with you. We want to talk about 352 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: that with you so you can use this offseason to 353 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: get ready to either play first base or to get 354 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: used to a new role at DH. Obviously, we don't 355 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. We understand you might be upset, 356 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: We understand that might bother you, but we want to 357 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: look out for the best interests of the team, and 358 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: we feel like you could thrive at first base or DH. 359 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: That should have been the conversation right from the get go, 360 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: right at the end of last year. The Red Sox 361 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: didn't do that, And we've been seeing some reports here 362 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 1: over the last couple of days from I'm going blank 363 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: from Yahoo Sports, I'm going blank on the name. I'm 364 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: so sorry, but saying that there's a major communication issue 365 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: within the Red Sox organization right now that should have 366 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: been done, should have been done, and the Red Sox 367 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: definitely deserve blame for not approaching that situation better. And 368 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: there was also something else in the Catillo article that 369 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: he had today where Raffi during the Alex Bregman introductory 370 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: press conference in spring training, Raffi, he was in street clothes. 371 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: He walked by the press conference. Jaron Duran. I believe 372 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: Rob Refsneider were at the presser, right, they were there, 373 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: you know, showing support. Raffi walked by, and then the 374 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: next day he that's when he sounded off with the media, saying, 375 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: I'm the third baseman, right, I'm not the dh so 376 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: I'll say this. I'll say this. You can be mad 377 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: at the front office for that. Yes, I think they 378 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: deserve blame for that. Absolutely no way around it. Absolutely 379 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: no argument there. That's where I think the Red Sox 380 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: messed up. They should have started talking to Raffi asap. 381 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: I would have done it right after the last game 382 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: of the season last year, maybe the next day. You 383 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: can be mad at the front office for that. I 384 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: think that is absolutely fair. But this is where I 385 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: have a problem with Raffi. I have my problem with 386 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: the front office. That's there. I just told you this 387 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: is where I have a problem with Raffi. This is 388 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: the last time I'm going to talk about this. Tristan 389 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: Cassis's knee exploded, the guy crumpled to the ground. Sorry 390 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: to sound a little dramatic there. He was running to 391 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: first base and the guy completely just crumbled to the ground, 392 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: had to get stretchered off the field. You can be 393 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: mad at the front office, but in that moment, you 394 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 1: let down the team when Craig Breslo asked you in 395 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: a time of knee when someone just had possibly a 396 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: career altering injury, In that moment, that's where you let 397 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: down the team and teammates. Based off of the reactions 398 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: that we've seen here, you're not really seeing teammates seem 399 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: all that bothered, right. You're seeing consistently that they were surprised, 400 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: but as anyone seemed upset about it. I'm not saying 401 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: that to try and prove a point. I'm just saying 402 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: that's been the reaction. So I think you probably go 403 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: back to that, and I think a lot of the 404 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: team felt let down that he didn't want to go 405 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: over there because it would have helped out the lineup. 406 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: He could have gotten another bat. That's where Raffi messed up. 407 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: In my opinion, the front office messed up completely, But 408 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 1: that's where Raffi messed up. Even lum Maerloney Will Fleming. 409 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: They were talking out on the broadcast. Lumerlonei's saying, you know, 410 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: I'd be pissed, you know. Fleming obviously didn't. He didn't 411 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: like it either. And you know, people are gonna say, oh, 412 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: they're being Red Sox shills, they're being paid by the 413 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: Red Sox to defend them. But no, man, the guy 414 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: had a career altering injury. Who knows if his career 415 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: is ever going to be the same again, you know, like, 416 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: who knows if he's ever gonna be able to play again. 417 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: You know that's possible he will at some point, but 418 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: will he ever get back to the potential that he had? 419 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. That's someone's life, that's someone's livelihood. And 420 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: he went down like that, and you didn't have someone 421 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: step up. All these other guys were willing to maybe 422 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: help out, you know, I don't know, man, It just 423 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: like to me, that's what rubbed me the wrong way 424 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: from the whole thing, you know, like that's why. And 425 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 1: again it wasn't even just like and then and then 426 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: this is what other people are gonna say too. They're 427 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: gonna say, well, what about the other two twenty five guys, 428 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: they could have helped out two right. Well, yes, a 429 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of guys would have stepped up 430 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: for it. But Raffi made the most sense because he 431 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: was the dh that would have opened up that role 432 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: to say, bring Yoshida back or put Roman there. That's 433 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: all I'm gonna say on that. That's all I'm gonna 434 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: say on that. Peter Abraham, Pete Abraham, he put out 435 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: there today Devers was willing to first base or was 436 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: willing to play first base if the team would commit 437 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: to him staying there without going back and forth. I 438 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: think Rob Bradford puts something out there that he was 439 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it contradicted it. I can't Rob 440 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: Bradford puts something out there today saying that he was 441 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 1: never not promised first base or some or moving. I 442 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: don't know something like that. Someone else on Raffi's side, 443 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: he did say, it's not what you ask, it's how 444 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: you ask. So I'm not again, it probably comes down 445 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: to the lack of communication and how things were communicated. 446 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: You know, the communication was clearly a mess. But you know, 447 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: Raffi was not squeaky clean here too, and I think 448 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: both sides messed up and in the end the relationship 449 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: was just severed. But you can fairly say that the 450 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: Red Sox they have had this issue, you know, maybe 451 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: not you know this exact one, but they've had an 452 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: issue keeping star players. And you know, it's different issues 453 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: along the way, but they seem to have this, you know, 454 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: problem consistently with star players. So I don't know. They 455 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: got to figure it out. But at the end of 456 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: the day, we got to move on, got to move on. 457 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: But everybody watching on, nesson, I do got to wrap 458 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: it up right there.

Rob Bradford is a trusted source. 491 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: I absolutely believe Rob Bradford and anything he puts out there. 492 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: He's been doing this for years. He's an absolute pro. 493 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: So I found that part interesting, just another wrinkle to 494 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: add to this whole thing. And then we also had 495 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: there was someone in the chat. I just want to 496 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: make sure, yes, electro Bat, you said here Peter Abraham 497 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: Devers wanted to be the full time first baseman going forward, 498 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: but the Red Sox said no. So I found that interesting, right, 499 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: I'm wondering why the Red Sox wouldn't commit to that. 500 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: I think if that was true, I think that could 501 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: have really helped. I mean, that could have been a 502 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: chance of the Red Sox, you know, Craig the front 503 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: office to kind of fix things right there. Hey, listen, 504 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: we goofed up with the whole communication. You know, that's 505 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: on us. We're telling you right now, we want you 506 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: to be the first baseman. You will be the first 507 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: baseman moving forward. So I'm not sure what was going 508 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: on with the Red Sox right there. That would have 509 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: been a good time to commit in my opinion, right 510 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: you could have had your guy for just the rest 511 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: of the rest of the year. And then you figure 512 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: it out moving forward. You know, I'm not sure why 513 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: that ended up being an issue, So sorry about the 514 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: clear quotes there. It's a very late tonight time. I'm 515 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: very tired. So here we go. We had a couple 516 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: more things. There was also another report from Andrew Baggerly 517 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: of the Athletic saying the Red Sox were insisting on 518 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: Bryce Eldridge in the deal. I'm going to say this, 519 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, the Giants would have been nuts to 520 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: give up Bryce Eldridge. There's no way if you're taking 521 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: on the full contract of Raffi over eight years left, 522 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: you're not giving up one of the top prospects in 523 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: the game. You're just not doing that no way. People 524 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: are out there are gonna say, oh, well, the Red 525 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: Sox they should have held out. You have no leverage 526 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: in that situation unless you were willing to pay a 527 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: ton of the contracts. He's one of the top prospects 528 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: who's having a great year in the minors and he's 529 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: getting very close to major league ready. Some people say 530 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: he should already be up right, you weren't going to 531 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: get Bryce Eldridge in that deal, so please get that 532 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: out of your head. It's not MLB the show. That's 533 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: not how this works. No, especially when they're taking on 534 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: a full contract. That in itself, that's where the Giants 535 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: are taking the hit because they're and they were giving 536 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: up talent. You know, sure, we took on the contract 537 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: of Jordan Hicks, but you got a top twenty five 538 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: prospect from you the last couple of years, and Kyle Harrison. 539 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: You know, you get another another higher not a top one, hungered, 540 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: but high draft pick from last year in James Tibbs. 541 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: And then you get another pitching prospect on top of that. 542 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: So the Giants, they were giving up a lot right 543 00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: by taking on the entire contract, assuming the respetonsibility of it, 544 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: while also giving up decent talent. You weren't gonna get 545 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: Bryce Eldridge. So no, unless the Red Sox would have 546 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: paid like like not half of it, maybe like at 547 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: least a quarter of the contract, No way, Alex Corr 548 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: he spoke on Raffi. He hasn't really said all that much. 549 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: Cora pretty much was taking the stance where Raffi's in 550 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 1: San Francisco. Now we're the Red Sox. We need to 551 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: move forward, right, Cora hasn't really talked much, but he 552 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: did say this. There was a report where Christian Campbell 553 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: from the Yahoo Sports article he had asked to play 554 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: first base and Raffi got upset about that. Well, Cora 555 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: came out today and said, no, Christian Campbell didn't ask us. 556 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 1: We asked him if he would be willing, and he 557 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: said yes, So who knows. Maybe Raffi still got upset 558 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: about it. I don't know. That report did say he 559 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: was upset about that, but that part was refuted, so 560 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: who knows what the actual story was there, So I 561 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: don't know. That's pretty much all there is on Raffi. However, 562 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: now that we're moving forward, let's just turn the page 563 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: on this. We really got to move forward from this. 564 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm exhausted talking about Raffi. There's just so many layers 565 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: to it. You know, there's emotional things that go into it. 566 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: It's it's very tiring. It's very tiring, and I think 567 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: we're all just ready to move on at this point 568 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: and focus on the Red Sox that are here now. 569 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: Right Masstoka Yoshida, his name has resurfaced, Ladies and gentlemen. 570 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: Cora he talked on Yoshida today said he would maybe 571 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: like to see that process gets sped up a little bit, saying, 572 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: let's see if we can speed up the process. He 573 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: would need a rehab assignment, he did say that. But 574 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: we have been seeing Yoshida start to throw a little 575 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: bit more. He's taken swim. So could you see Yoshida 576 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: maybe by I don't know, before the All Star break, 577 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: m or maybe you could see him when they come 578 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: back from the All Star Break. I think that's possible. Right, 579 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: gives him another month, maybe a couple more weeks here 580 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: to rehab, right, finish out the pre All Star break, 581 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: you know, the first half, finish that out with a 582 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: rehab assignment, and then come back the first day back. 583 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: I could see that. He mentioned that maybe you could 584 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: see a platoon with Ref Snyder, right, he said that 585 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,320 Speaker 1: sound pretty good, right. Rev. Snyder can get the abs 586 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: against the lefties, and then Yoshida is there against the righties. Now, Breslo, 587 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: what Breslo likes is the idea of being able to 588 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: get at bats for Roman, William Duran and Saydan Core 589 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: has even talked about, you know, maybe even SETI going 590 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: into the infield a little bit. But then I'm just 591 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 1: wondering kind of what happens, you know, with Christian Cam 592 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: at that point. I don't know. Now Seti, he has 593 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: been hitting lefties a little bit better, has a higher ops. 594 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: So I don't know, do you do you kind of 595 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: lean more into these platoons here or whatever. I'm not 596 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 1: sure how you do that, but I think if Masa 597 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: comes back, that is going to create a bit of 598 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 1: a log jam. Well I've already met, not even a bit. 599 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 1: It is a log jam, right If you're gonna have Roman, Willier, 600 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: Duran and Seti four guys for you know, four spots, 601 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: and then you're bringing Massa back too, well, how's that 602 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 1: going to work? That's where I keep thinking. I wonder 603 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: if another trade could happen at some point, you know, 604 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: could you do something with Willier hand it over to Roman. 605 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: You know, I think that might be difficult unless you 606 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: move SETI to a utility role and Seti just plays 607 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,800 Speaker 1: against lefties. You know, I'm not sure how that works exactly, 608 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: but I do think I do think Masa coming back 609 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,880 Speaker 1: into this lineup, I think that's gonna be nice. You know, 610 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: it's a guy, he doesn't strike out, He's gonna give 611 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: you a good ab He's gonna make good contact. I 612 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: think someone like Yoshida could really go a long way 613 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: for this lineup, So I would like to see him 614 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: come back again. He's not gonna give you that power 615 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: like Grafi. He's not gonna be able to replace him, 616 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: but someone that I can at least give you a 617 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: decent at bat. He's gonna work the counts. So that's 618 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 1: kind of where I'm at. You know, I would like 619 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 1: for him to come back. You know, it's really funny 620 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,880 Speaker 1: because we were all willing to drive Yoshida to the 621 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: airport in the off season. You know, we we were 622 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: gonna pack his bags and we were gonna say, hey, 623 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: have fun in Kansas City, have fun in Cincinnati, you 624 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: know whatever. It may be, right, But now all of 625 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: a sudd sudden, he's found as he has waited, he 626 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: has stayed patient. Granted he has been rehabbing, but this 627 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: is his opportunity to shrine at least live up to 628 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: some of the contract. Could you imagine Massa coming back 629 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: and ended up being a huge part of the lineup 630 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: in the second half, right, No, not up to the 631 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: level of Raffi, but it'd be great to see him 632 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 1: come back and contribute, so will you or Bray is 633 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: on a rehab assignment played in Worcester tonight, so he's 634 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: gonna be back soon. I would imagine he's going to 635 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: be back. I would at least think next week, so 636 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,439 Speaker 1: maybe the weekend. No, we'll see.
