WEBVTT - Pirates WRECK Red Sox in Game 1 | Postgame Reaction #122 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:09.840 Welcome to Boss the territory, ladies and gentlemen. Red Sox 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:13.840 lose here eight to four, record falls to sixty five 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.680 and fifty seven. Story of the game here at tonight 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.840 for me, Jake Bennett, You know, I feel like you're 0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:23.639 maybe getting to a point here where he's gonna have 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:25.120 to start making some adjustments. 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:26.920 Right. This guy was cruising along. 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.080 You're thinking, man, oh man, this guy could actually get 0:00:29.120 --> 0:00:31.880 you know, maybe quite a few Rookie of the Year votes. 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:35.240 The last couple of outings, though, have not been as 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.920 crisp first time, not making it at least five innings. 0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.479 It just goes to show how good this guy's been, 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:44.640 you know, being a rookie. I mean, the fact that 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:47.280 this is first start, not making it five innings, that 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:50.319 says something right there. But a bad fourth inning did 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.600 him in. Looked like he lost a feel for his 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:53.159 change up. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:54.400 Later on, he was leaving. 0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:56.360 Too many pitches over the zone, a lot of hard 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:00.920 contact ninety two miles an hour average exit from the 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:03.480 Pirates off him tonight. They kept driving up the pitch 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:07.800 count on him, and then eventually Geovanni Moran gave up 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.280 a three run shot to an old rival in Brandon 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.480 laus So pretty much at that point the game was 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:14.399 put away. 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.840 But with Jake Bennett, I'm. 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.200 Starting to think, here, he's gonna have to work in 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.280 the sweeper a little bit more. He's gonna have to 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:23.520 work in some breaking pitches. 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:23.839 Now. 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.680 Listen, the four seamer sinker change up. It's been a 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.400 really good combination for him this year. But he's only 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.480 got seven percent sweepers on the year. I mean, you 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.959 can only go so far with three pitches, right, you 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.760 know for a rookie. Yeah, you know, maybe you can 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.960 get away with that a little bit. Once those scattering reports, 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.600 you know, start getting updated, and then once other teams 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.240 out there start seeing what you're doing, you're gonna have 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.720 to start switching it up a little bit. They're starting 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.680 to pick up on him, and I've gotten that sense 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.040 over the last couple of outings. And when you don't 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:03.280 have full command in your favor, like with him tonight, 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.360 leaving a couple of pitches over the zone, that's when batters, 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.480 especially at the major league level, are going to take advantage. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.120 And I'm you know, I'm starting to think especially against 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.680 righty's right against lefties, he's had a ton of success 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.240 against lefties normally hitting one to eighty one against him, 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.400 with a four to thirty four ops against right He's 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.520 still not like amazing numbers, hitting two forty five six 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.200 forty four ops. But I think he's gotta have to 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.120 start mixing in a little bit more, especially against the righties. 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:37.239 So again needs to be I think a little less predictable. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.680 What he's been doing has worked up to this point. 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.760 Works up great with the four seamer up in the zone, 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.120 does great with a change up below the zone. He 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.040 works in the sinkers in zone to get those ground balls. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:54.040 But again I think just incorporating more of a breaking 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.440 pitch is going to help him a lot over the 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.280 final six or seven weeks or so of the season. 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:03.320 But the offense, I mean, it wasn't a bad night 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.000 for the offense. You end up scoring four here, but 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:10.080 once again, like we've seen over the last week or so, 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.320 not really able to come up with runners in scoring position. 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:20.120 Over the last seven games. They rank thirtieth in Fangraft's clutch, 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.400 which is basically how well you're doing in those high 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.160 leverage spots. They ranked twenty seventh in batting average with 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:30.120 runners in scoring position and twenty eighth in ops with 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.240 runners in scoring positions. So you know, they're getting the 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.360 guys on, they're getting the hits, they're getting the walks, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.560 but they're having a hard time coming up with these 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:44.160 timely hits. You just saw today against Bubback Chandler, they. 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.400 Just couldn't really get anything going. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.080 Like you, had opportunities that you know, we saw over 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.760 the full month of July where man, they're able to 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.600 just just rally off just a whole ton of stuff, 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.360 and you're not seeing that. You know, I'm not saying 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.960 you need to be exactly like that, but you know, 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.120 time and time again here over the last week or so, 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.280 you get opportunities that start, but you're just not able 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:09.760 to finish. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:10.119 Right. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.200 You're able to get the plane off the ground, but 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.640 you can't fully land it. I also wasn't not a 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.080 big fan of this lineup here tonight. I've said it 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.200 the last few days or so. I'm not a fan 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.279 of Masa at the top of the order. I know, 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.640 SETI wasn't in the line up here tonight. You know, SETI, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.080 You're gonna have to give him some days off, Like 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.400 the guy plays every day. This is why you bring 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:35.039 in someone like Eli White, right, but not a fan 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.280 of Masa batting second. I know he came up with 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.640 an RBI bas hit in the ninth inning there. But 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.280 to me, I don't know, I've said it before, I 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.440 think he's better more so after the meat of the order. 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.800 To me, Masa is a perfect guy to have in 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.880 the five or six spot of the lineup right. He's 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.680 not the guy that you want to count on for 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.760 that production. He's more of the guy where I want 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:03.159 him backing up the heavy hitters in the lineup right, 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.599 giving them protection. That's what I think Masa does well. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.960 He works the counts, He's able to foul off pitches, 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:11.840 and you know we've seen him, you know, come through 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.400 in spots, right. But I don't want him on the 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:15.119 number two spot. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:15.719 I just don't. 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.800 I know, Rushman has been pretty quiet since making his 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:24.800 Red Sox debut, But to me, you know, with the 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.000 track record that Rutshman has, I'd much rather him in 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.440 the number two spot. Would that have made much of 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:34.960 a difference tonight, Probably not, But you know, just wanted 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.520 to get that that thought across. Other than that, you know, 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.000 not really much here tonight. So GARB with a couple 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.080 of RBIs will You're with a double. You put together 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.039 a little something in the ninth inning against Yates, but 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:50.960 again not able to get the rallies together. You felt 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.480 like the momentum the air came out of the building 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.000 a little bit earlier in the game. You get a 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.880 will your double, Wilson before that got on base, and 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.080 then William gets a double into the gap and Eperson's 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.839 sending Wilson home from third base, and I'm thinking, why, 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.440 I get it. You got a couple of outs. You're 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.560 trying to make things happen. You're trying to force the 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.880 defense to make a good play. But it's Wilson Contreras. 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.800 And I'm not even talking about the injuries here, Like, yeah, 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.839 I know he's been dealing with some stuff, dealing with 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.680 a hamstring lately, but he's not you know, Yeah, the 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.400 guy's gonna dog it out there, but he's not gonna 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:32.760 give you a whole ton of sprint speed. 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.320 So I didn't agree with the send there. 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.320 I can understand the point of view where you want 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.839 to force the defense to make a good play, but 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.479 in that situation it gets back to what I've said. 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:48.159 I like aggressive base running, but you gotta have the 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:53.040 good awareness with it. Wilson. You know, yeah, he'll put 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.880 it one hundred and ten percent. But I'm I'm not 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.400 gonna be counting on that guy, especially coming from first home. 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:01.720 I don't know. 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.040 Just was a little iffy about that, especially when you 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.000 got Durbin coming up next, who just had a good 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.760 game yesterday. I get it, you got two out, so 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.480 you want to try and you know, force the issue. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.920 But Durban's been hitting great and he just had a 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.960 Grand Slam yesterday. Why not give him the shot right there? 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:19.480 You know? 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.440 And that's a guy that obviously makes a lot of contact. 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:24.280 You know, the Red Sox. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:26.440 What have they done well over the last month and 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.280 a half or so putting the ball in play? When 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.880 you put the ball in play, who knows what can happen. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:37.480 So I would have rather Wilson held up there and 0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.200 then give Durban a shot. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.280 That's just me. What do I know. 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.560 I'm just a dufus that sits at my desk. But again, 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.240 final score here tonight, Pirates win eight to four. I'm 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.280 gonna be pretty quick with this one here tonight, ladies 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.640 and gentlemen, I goodness, this was a frustrating watch here 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.600 tonight you had someone in the stands in Pittsburgh yelling 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:02.120 swing every single batter. It was driving me nuts. I 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.800 can't stand people that do that. It's such a pet peeve, 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.120 such a pet peeve of mine. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:11.920 I can't stand that. Oh my goodness. 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:15.520 Anyway, whatever, I worked out for the Pirates, but I 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.320 was just over this one here. Now. Luckily we did 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.440 have some good news. We did have some good news. 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.440 Roman Anthony a little bit more of an update. Nothing 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:29.360 really crazy new, but Shag Tracy did speak about Roman here, 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.439 said he doesn't think a rehabit signment is going to 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:37.000 be this weekend, but they are getting closer. Also said 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.920 it's not necessary for him to come back to Boston 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.720 before the rehabit signment. Says he has a good setup, 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.520 has a good thing going in Fort Myers right now. 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.800 I say, don't even mess with that right now. Even 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.400 if he's got a fly out of Florida to you know, 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.320 get with Triple A or whoever, to get some AB's. 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:55.960 Whatever. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.760 Come back to Boston when you're ready to play major 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:03.280 league games. Roman also Trevor story ikf at Worcester currently 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:08.480 getting in on some workouts there. I would imagine so 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.400 a rehab assignment for story is imminent at this point. 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.800 I imagine it's probably going to be early next week. 0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:21.000 Speaking of the wuss, Christian Campbell staying hot. His twentieth 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:24.040 double of the year here tonight. Five doubles in his 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.160 last five games. The guy's red hot. I mean, you know, 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.280 it's funny because I was saying when we got Adly 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.440 back in the lineup, I'm thinking, all right, cool, there's 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.000 a bit of a spark right well, still looking for 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:40.360 a bit of a spark here. You gotta wonder, man, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.480 do the Red Sox at some point, I know, you 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.040 got to kind of figure out like where he would play, 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.880 where he gets in, Like how does he fit? But man, 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:56.199 if he keeps hitting like this, you wonder could Campbell 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.360 get the call at some point? My gut tells me 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.160 he's more of like a September call up at this point, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.800 because really you do have to figure out where he 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.640 works in because you know, obviously with Roman coming back, 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.200 you're gonna have a lot of guys in the mix. 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:14.880 You've already got a couple of right handed bats and 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:19.600 Eli White, Jami Jones. Could he take the place of 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.960 possibly Jami Jones? I don't know, and Eli White is 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.840 more of the defense. Speed can play all three outfield positions, 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:32.480 so I don't know. Like it's the guys just red hot. 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.560 Keep paying attention to Christian campbell Man, he's been doing great. Also, 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:42.120 Red Sox Royals Field of Dreams game in twenty twenty seven. 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.160 Very excited about that. I see a lot of people, 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.240 a lot of the trolls out there saying, oh, there's 0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:51.319 not even gonna be a twenty twenty seven season. I'm 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:54.880 not buying that, not buying that at all at all. 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.480 You got to remember, look at how contentious it got 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.200 back in twenty twenty one. 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.760 I mean, goodness gracious. I mean, and then you didn't 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:04.480 lose games. Then. 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:06.240 I know it's a little different this time. You got 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.240 the salary cap, you get all that talk coming right now. 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.040 But I think in the end they're gonna figure something out. 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.560 You got too much to lose at this point. Anyway, 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:19.800 different conversation for a different time. I'm excited for the 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.319 Red Sox to be playing in the Field of Dreams 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.679 game next year. That's awesome. Field of Dreams one of 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.440 my favorite movies of all time. Very excited about that. 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.240 I actually would love to go to that, even if 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.440 I'm just a fan. I mean, I would love to 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:38.440 go to that. To be able to get coverage, to 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.679 have media coverage of that, that would be amazing if 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:44.480 I could get that opportunity. We'll see whatever. No matter how, 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.280 I end up watching that game, very excited for it. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.640 Really cool. They had a good presentation on Netflix last night. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.079 I think they did a pretty good job. Let's get 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.760 to it, ladies and gentlemen, let's get to it. 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.160 I did see a. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:01.800 Super chat in here. We are going to get to 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:03.880 that by the end of the show. Let me get 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:10.240 through this very quickly. Let's get to Jake Bennett. I mean, 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.800 I pretty much said what I need to say about Bennett. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.439 You saw the usual mix here tonight for seemers, sinkers 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.800 change ups. First inning, he had a one two three 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.080 also shout out Eli White made a great running grab 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.520 out in left center. Guy was on a full sprint, 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.160 ran into the wall a little bit, very good catch 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:32.320 from Eli White in the outfield, and he strikes out 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:36.040 Reynolds on a sinker inside. But then the second inning, 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.440 Rafael Flores Junior with a home run fourth of the year, 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:43.280 made it one nothing remember he was a Yankee top 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.880 thirty prospect a little while ago. He went back to 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.839 the Pirates in the David Bednar trade. That's a guy 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.720 who I think is going to be pretty solid guy 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.920 that gets on base well and he can do a 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.560 little bit of damage with the bat as well. You 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.360 see it firsthand here tonight. But then after that, even 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.559 after the home run, he still struck out three as 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.160 Merlin Baldez on a good change up, LAO want to 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:05.920 change up inside, Mangum on a sinker inside. So Bennett, 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.720 despite the home run there was still fine, had a 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.680 one two three third inning. But then you get second 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.280 time through the order here and the Pirates just had him. 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.880 Picked up Simon with a bass hit. Reynolds Valdez back 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.520 to back, back to back doubles made it three nothing. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.800 He left a change up middle of the zone to 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.640 both these guys. So again, it's kind of like when 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:32.560 you're really only working off tonight two pitches basically. I mean, 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.800 he went with the sinker nine times, but you know, 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.839 I wouldn't say that he had a heavy usage on that. 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:42.720 So when you're coming fastball change up and you're leaving 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:47.080 change ups over the zone, I mean, when when they're 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.080 when you got basically two pitches to guess off of, 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.439 and yeah, when you leave one middle of the zone, 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.480 good chance they're gonna do damage on that. So again, 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.920 getting back to my point, you gotta start switching it 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.760 up a little bit more, you know again, you know 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.120 it is a good change up, right, It's very good lao. 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.360 He ends up striking out change up, down and away. 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:13.920 But then Rafael Flores Junior doing some more damage base 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:17.920 hit made it four nothing. He threw him four straight fastballs, 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.120 like you know, again, back to my point, just looking predictable. 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.200 Triola with a walk after that, did strike out Henry Davis, 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.320 but that was it for Jake Bennett. Four innings, five hits, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:34.240 four earns, six strikeouts, one walk. So hopefully they can 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:37.760 get into the lab here, well not hopefully when they 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:42.040 get into the lab here, hopefully they can maybe switch 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.760 some stuff up a little bit, right, go with a 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.520 bit of a different game plan next time out for 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:48.200 the bullpen. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.840 I mean, you know you already we weren't completely out. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:55.360 Of it at this point, right, I mean, but Giovanni 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.680 Moran came in for the fifth inning, he just had 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.360 the command was not there with him, Nick and Zaliz. 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:05.800 He gets hit in the helmet. Scary moment. Don't like 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.240 to see that. Ronnie Simon, he did strike him out, 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.520 gives up a base hit to Reynolds. He bounces back 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.840 with a strikeout to Valdez. But then Brandon Law an 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.560 old friend, an old rival of the Red Sox with 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.000 it during his days with the Rays, home run, makes 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.840 a seven to two hung a change up right over 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.520 the middle of his own and that was pretty much it. 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.520 At that point, Ali Gamba shout out to him. He 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.120 did save the bullpen here tonight went three innings. He 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.760 gave up another run in the seventh inning. A couple 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.040 of base runners got on Durban with a bad throat 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.360 at first base. He got charged with an error. Runners 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:43.320 scored made it eight to three. But with the offense, 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.120 I mean, I've pretty much already said my peace on that. 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.560 Bubba Chandler. You know, you saw a glimpse of what 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.440 this guy can be. There's a reason he's one of 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:00.680 the top pitching prospects in the game, one of the 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:04.240 top prospects coming in to the year. You see, the 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:07.600 guy's got electric stuff, he's got good v low man, 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:11.080 he's got good secondaries. It's just a matter of putting 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.960 it all together with him. He sat down nine of 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:18.200 the first ten batters. The fourth inning, Massa with a strikeout, 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.760 Rutsman with a ground out, but then Wilson bad exploded 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.760 infield base hit and then will You're twenty fifth double. 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.600 But like I said at the start of the show, 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.480 wilsonton freers. He's on first. Wilson with a double into 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:40.440 the gap, Eperson decides to send him instead of holding him. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:45.320 I like aggressive base running, but you gotta be a 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.120 bit more aware. In my opinion, that's just me. I'd 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.760 rather have Wilson stay at third base with Durbin coming up. 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:53.120 That's just me. 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.040 But he was thrown out at home and that was 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.320 it for that rally. But you did have a rally. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:00.000 In the fifth inning, Durbin and duran with walks. Monastery 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.640 with a base hit made it four to one, so 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.440 Guard with a sack fly made a four to two 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:09.080 bad pickoff attempt from Chandler. Ball goes into the outfield. 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:13.240 Monasterio moves over to third base, but then Massa flying out. 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.000 Seventh inningk Duram of the Bass hit Monasteria with a 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.959 walk Eli, White beats out a double play. You got 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.680 runners on the corners, so Guard with the base hit again. 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:24.760 Not a bad night at all for so Guard. That 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.080 makes it seven to three. But then Massa striking out. 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.639 Adlee actually got into one a little bit. That was 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:33.200 nice to see because Adlee has not really done too 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.680 much for the bat, but he got into one. 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.080 Looked like he just missed it, and you could. 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:40.920 Tell he dipped his head as soon as he hit 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:47.320 it out to deep center. Maybe just a like one 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.679 little centimeter of a difference with his swing that it 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:54.399 could have changed things a lot. But he flies out again. 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:56.920 You added on another run. Massa with an RBI base 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:58.840 hit in the ninth and made it eight to four. 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:05.400 But Montgomery comes in closes it down. Pirates win eight 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:09.840 to four. Taking a look, ladies and gentlemen at the standings, 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.920 so again the Red Sox sixty five and fifty seven. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.600 You're now ten back in the East. You know, man, 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.280 we were getting revved up. Man, you were five out 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.960 at one point. Now you've dropped five games in the East. 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:23.560 So it looks like Tampa is gonna run away with 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.280 this thing. They've won nine in a row. 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:26.920 But looking at the wild card. 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:33.160 You know again, luckily, this American League is just no bueno, 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.080 and you're still holding on to the second wildcard spot 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:41.040 very firmly. You're five games ahead of the third wildcard spot. 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.880 You got the Tigers, the Rangers at sixty and sixty two, 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.320 tied to the third wildcard spot, Twins at sixty and 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:53.840 sixty three, half game back, Blue Jays right there, one 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.640 game back, Guardians a game and a half back, Orioles 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:57.080 a game and. 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:57.680 A half back. 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.360 I mean, you got the Mariners three games back. They're 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:03.640 historically like a second half team over the last few 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:08.600 years or so. This American League wildcard brace. It's gonna 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:12.960 be very interesting over the next six or seven weeks. Man, 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.000 it's gonna be uh, it's gonna be interesting to see 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:20.080 how that all turns out. But let's get to our 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:30.440 Game two preview, brought to you today by Fox One. Alrighty, 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:37.560 Sonny Gray going up against Jared Jones here tomorrow, another 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:40.119 young gun for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Jared Jones, remember he 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:44.800 just came back this year after getting arm surgery. Sonny Gray, 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.560 not a bad adding last time out, not a baud 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.359 outing at all, even though you ended up not getting 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.600 to win. He didn't have run support there. He went 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.480 six innings, six hits to earn four strikeouts. 0:19:57.960 --> 0:19:58.600 I don't think he. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.760 Pitched bad whatsoever. All Right, blue Jay's team that's been 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.199 playing a lot better as of late. Tough team to 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.439 work against. What No matter what picture you are, I 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.919 think he did pretty well. Looks like he's got himself 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.640 fully back on track over the last couple of starts. 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.560 He ran into a couple of bumps there. But Jared 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:19.600 Jones the story with Jared Jones, we talked about this 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:26.360 the other night. You're gonna see the good stuff, right, 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:27.880 He's gonna give you a lot of v LO. He's 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.520 gonna sit in the upper nineties. He's got good expected numbers. 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.560 He's getting a lot of swing and miss. He's not 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:34.919 walking a ton of guys. He has a good strikeouts 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:35.720 Walkery Shiel. 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:37.120 The problem has. 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.560 Been the home run ball, giving up a lot of 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:42.879 hard contact thirty first percentile with his average eggxit V 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:47.320 low forty third percentile, with the barrel percentage forty fourth 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:50.879 percentile with the hard hit percentage. Combine that with a 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:57.280 thirtieth percentile ground ball rate. Yeah, that's sounds like a 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.840 recipe for some damage there he has on the year, 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.640 he's giving up one and a half home runs per nine. 0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:07.159 That ranks thirty six out of one hundred and fifty 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:11.560 six qualified or not qualified sorry, one hundred and fifty 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.560 six pitchers with at least fifty innings pitched, or one 0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:19.440 hundred and fifty six starters with with fifty innings pitch. 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.880 Goodness gracious part time getting that one out, but obviously 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.720 giving up a lot of home runs. So the four 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:29.600 seam fastball with Jared Jones, he's giving up six home runs. 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:35.560
