00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to another episode of Monster Territory, brought to you

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: by the Foul Territory Network. We have a very special

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: guest here, the Tribal Chief himself, Jared Krabis. Welcome to

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: the show, my friend. How you doing.

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: It's good to be here, It's good to see your face.

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: I feel like people are going to be very surprised

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: to know that we like we've known each other for

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 2: like twenty years.

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: You took my little intro there from me. Yes, this

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: is twenty years in the making. For people that don't know,

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: it's actually pretty cool. Like how we first started speaking.

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: You got to go back to the MySpace days. You

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: created sock space years and years ago, and my dorky

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 1: fifteen year old self who's sitting in his room on

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: his computer going on sock space every day, Boston dirt Dogs,

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: I was checking that every morning. I reached out to you.

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't remember how I reached out to you in

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: the first place, but I remember wanting to contribute to

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: sock space. And that's how we first started, you know, talking.

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: And you're probably thinking at the time, who was this

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: freaking redhead kid just you know writing me every single day?

22
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: But well, you were you were sitting like those are

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: our skinny boy days, Like you aren't a sick boy

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: like you are now you're skinny back then.

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: It's it's it's not thick, it's more fluff. Just to

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: get that across, But thank you. I appreciate it. No,

27
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: it is pretty interesting man. Like you know, over the years,

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, we went from the skinny days, we both

29
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: started getting into you know, working out and whatnot. It's

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: cool to see the growth over the last twenty years.

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: You know.

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: I got to ask you though, going back, you know,

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: looking back over that time, like you said, twenty years,

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: if you could give me like a word or a

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: couple of words to describe just going from that to

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: where you are today, you know, with all you've accomplished

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: and where you're at right now, what are some words

38
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: that you would say, you know, to describe this whole thing.

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, Like truly unbelievable. I think if you went back

40
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: to ask sixteen year old Jared when he started sock space,

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: what do you see for yourself in the future, whatever

42
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: I would have said, it is exponentially more than whatever

43
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: I could have dreamed of. Like even if even if

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: I throw out something unrealistic. I think if if I

45
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: was being realistic about it, I would have said, you know,

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: I'll work at the Herald or the Globe and I'll

47
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: become the biggest Red Sox writer in the world, because

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: blogging really was like kind of not a thing yet,

49
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: and podcasting certainly wasn't a thing, and like digital media

50
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: streaming and YouTube content like that was not a thing yet.

51
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: So I would have just said, you know, I hope

52
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: to be the biggest Red Sox writer in the world.

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: And for whatever reason, like I think I probably because

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: I don't really write anymore. I think I probably got

55
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: to a point where I had to have been the

56
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: most Red Red Sox writer at around like twenty eighteen,

57
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, and then to have like the podcast kind

58
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: of blow up the way that it did, and ultimately

59
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: have the thing that I'm most known for be something

60
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: that didn't exist when I started. Like that's unbelievable to me,

61
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: like especially being a shy kid growing up and not

62
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: wanting any eyeballs on me at all, but like having

63
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 2: to depend on that from my livelihood in the end,

64
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: like some Catch twenty two type career, Like the whole

65
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: thing has just been unbelievable, Like the experiences, you know,

66
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: being in high school for two thousand and four and

67
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: being able to get to a point in my life where,

68
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: like the other night, like we were watching the Royal Rumble,

69
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: to be able to just drunk dial Johnny Damon Like

70
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: that's cool, you know, like having like Jason Verrett be

71
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: someone that you can just walk up to and like

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: you know his family and like shake his hand and

73
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: he wants to talk baseball with you. Like that's crazy.

74
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: Being like I was back in December when like the

75
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: Wan Soto stuff was going on, having to pause my

76
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: workout because David Ortiz is facetiming me right now, like

77
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: stuff like that like that, Like it's just everything. Like

78
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: I truly don't take it for granted. I have a

79
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: vast appreciation for all of it. But again, the word

80
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: is unbelievable because if you had told sixteen year old

81
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: Jared like this will someday be your life, you'd be

82
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: like yeah, okay, like no way, no, it.

83
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: Is pretty crazy. I still remember the U when you

84
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: when you ran and became the governor of Red Sox. Yeah,

85
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: that one that was like, man, like that's when you

86
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: started I think really starting to see you know, your accent, right,

87
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: your name started getting out there more at that time,

88
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: and it's it's pretty cool, right, you know social media

89
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: over all these years obviously at the podcast Barstools Sports, Uh,

90
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: it's really cool to see you know, your growth and

91
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: you know you're bringing up how you you know, you've

92
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: built these relationships with the players. You know, it's cool,

93
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, knowing that I think you what you bring

94
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: to the table. It's such a different dynamic to where

95
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of us fans, you know, we see,

96
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: for example, you know a player, let's say, at like

97
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: a restaurant, You're like, oh my god, that's that's that guy.

98
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: I still remember I saw Stephen Strasburg at a smoothie

99
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: shop and I'm like, that's freaking Steven Strasburg and I'm

100
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: like looking at him like I couldn't believe it. But

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: you've just built these relationships where I think what you

102
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: have shown is that they're just real people at the

103
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: end of the day, you know, I think that's the

104
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: coolest part of it, you know. And again looking back

105
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: on the last twenty years, man, it's been it's been

106
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: quite the journey. We'll see, we'll see what happens over

107
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: the next twenty years. I'm sure that's going to be

108
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: more exciting.

109
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: But I don't even hope I'm here for the next

110
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: twenty If i'm if, I'm like, what would that make

111
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: me fifty five? Don't It's just like I feel like

112
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: my character has a shelter shelf life where eventually it's

113
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: like man like your grandpa, like go go hang out

114
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: with your family, Like the Red Sox don't matter that much.

115
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: But to be honest with you, like when I'm fifty five,

116
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: the Red Sox will still matter that much to me.

117
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 2: It's just I don't know that I can put it

118
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: on camera, and I think it'll be sad at that point.

119
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I'm kind of in the same boat. You

120
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: know what you said, you know about you know, being

121
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: a shy guy years ago. It's that's kind of how

122
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: I've always been to you know, doing a channel and whatnot.

123
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: Like it kind of blows my mind that you know,

124
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing this because people won't know. They think I'm

125
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: probably so talkative off camera and whatnot. No, when I'm

126
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: off my head goes down. Basically, I'm probably as introverted

127
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: as you could be, you know, but it's weird how

128
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: the camera can kind of bring that out of you,

129
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: for sure. But you know, it's interesting, man. But yeah, no,

130
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, twenty years from now, who knows what I'll

131
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: be doing at that. But over the last few months

132
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: it's been rather interesting. The Red Sox have actually had

133
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: a pretty good offseason. I mean, my goodness, I mean

134
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: they're actually making moves, Alex Bregnan recently Walker Buhler or

135
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: Oldest Chapman trading for Garrett Crochet. I got to ask

136
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: one simple question, Jared, are we back?

137
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: I feel like that's the question of the month right now,

138
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: that's the question of the spring. And I would have

139
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: said yes until this Raffi drama presented itself. I feel

140
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 2: like you can't. You can't have the house on fire

141
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: and be like we're back baby until that's kind of resolved,

142
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: like until there's like a hug and kiss moment and

143
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: Alex Kor is able to put the fire out. I

144
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: don't know that I can say that we're back. I

145
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: don't I ultimately, I don't think that this is a

146
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: big deal. I think it was a little bit overblown.

147
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: I understand Raffi's pissed like that part of it is legitimate.

148
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's you know, it's no big deal

149
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: and he's actually, you know, he's fine. I'm sure he

150
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: is pissed off. But will this still be a problem,

151
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: a lingering issue? Come, I don't know, late April, early May, No,

152
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think so. So I'm gonna I'm

153
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: gonna pump the brakes on saying that we're back until

154
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: that issue is resolved.

155
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: Though, well, you know, we might as well start there.

156
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny because I mean, this is

157
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: what we know, man like over the over all the years,

158
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: I know, we keep saying that word years, but over

159
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: all this time, this is what Red Sox. This is

160
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: what being a Red Sox fan is like. You have

161
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: the highest of highs, You're feeling great, you go to bed.

162
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: You know, you're snuggling your Red Sox Teddy Bear, wearing

163
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: your hat while you're sleeping, and then the next morning

164
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: you get some kind of a bombshell thing. This is

165
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: how it's been over the years, right, you know, I

166
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: got to ask your thoughts. You know, it's looking back

167
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: over for the last week or so, you know, you

168
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: had the highest of highs with the Bregman signing because

169
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: of how down the last few years or last several

170
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: years have been. Now, you know, going back to the

171
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: Mookie trade to the Dodgers, would you say, looking back

172
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: on this last week, Uh, the whole Bregman thing, was

173
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: that some of the happiest times you've seen just because

174
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,359
Speaker 1: of the circumstances.

175
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: Definitely, yeah. I mean when the David Price thing happened,

176
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: that was really cool too, because that was kind of

177
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 2: like I've had a few different breakout moments obviously, like

178
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: you mentioned, like the Red Sox Nation president thing and

179
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 2: the governor thing. That was probably like my first original

180
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 2: breakout moment, but it was pre Twitter and all that,

181
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: so it was hard to like you weren't like going

182
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: viral or anything like. It's like, yeah, people were seeing it.

183
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: Like I wasn't interacting or couldn't see that people were

184
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: even noticed that the David Price thing. I was kind

185
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: of just trolling him on Twitter in twenty fourteen. It

186
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: was like after the thirteen Championship and then he blocked me,

187
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: but then like I think I just continued to troll

188
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: him after he blocked me, and then he unblocked me

189
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 2: and followed me once he realized like it was all

190
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 2: tongue in cheek, I'm just kidding. So then we kind

191
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: of became friends. And then he signed with the Red

192
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 2: Sox and we were like messaging as he was making

193
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: his decision, and then he gave me the shout out

194
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: at the press conference when he signed with Boston. That

195
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: was like peak, Oh my god, like what is my

196
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: life right now? The Bregman signing. I mean that was

197
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: also very cool because you know, like we met each other,

198
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: we the same kind of same deal, Like we became

199
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: friends because I was trolling him in twenty eighteen with

200
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 2: the ass shows and then we met in twenty nineteen,

201
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: became friends, and yeah, we were like staying in touch

202
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 2: the whole offseason, and I was kind of getting like

203
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: updates and I was like, yeah, I don't I don't

204
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: think this is gonna happen, like based on you know,

205
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: what like the vibes are and what the other offers are,

206
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: what the Red Sox offer is, Like I just don't

207
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: think that it's it's adding up here. So like I

208
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: I just always expect the worst in any situation or

209
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: any scenario. So when he you know Coley's going crazy,

210
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: like we're recording section ten and Coley's like, oh my god,

211
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah, and like he wasn't saying what

212
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: it was. And then I have a FaceTime from Pregnant

213
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: and I answer the phone and he's not smiling. So

214
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, no, did you sign with the Yankees?

215
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: And then he he pans down to show his son

216
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: Knox wearing a Red Sox hat, and even still like

217
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: I didn't believe it. I was like, is this a prank?

218
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: Are you joking? Like this is a sick joke. Why

219
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: would you do this to my emotions? So it's not

220
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: the same thing as what happened with Price or anything,

221
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: but it's it's it's very cool, Like it's it's almost

222
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: as cool. It's just not it's not him giving me

223
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: a shout out the press conference, but it's him like

224
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: calling me the second that the world found out that

225
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 2: he's coming to the Red Sox like that was very cool.

226
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I think if if one day,

227
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: if I ever write a second book, there will be

228
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: stories in there where you're just like that didn't happen,

229
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: Like you're every time, like when I did barstool Radio.

230
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: I would tell stories all the time, people like, why

231
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 2: are you making stuff up? Like bro, like stuff happens

232
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 2: in my life where you just you wouldn't believe it.

233
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: I understand that, but like it happened. I'm just glad

234
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: it was caught on camera.

235
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think one moment that speaks perfectly to that

236
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 1: where you couldn't believe it actually happened. Tyler Milliken is uh,

237
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: he's such a great guy and he but he's so funny,

238
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: and he does he doesn't mean to be. I think

239
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: at time it's like you pull him out of a sitcom.

240
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: Like that's the best kind of funny.

241
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: It's hilarious. Like when he said my phone's dead, I lost.

242
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it.

243
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: Like I was like this, this guy's not real. It's

244
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: because well, the funny thing is I actually connected with

245
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: that because when that signing happened, when when it was announced,

246
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: I was just like cleaning up in the kitchen. I

247
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: just got done making some dinner and I was listening

248
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: to a podcast. But I heard my phone vibrate. You know,

249
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: at the time, I'm still on alert a little bit.

250
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm checking everything and I see a DM from a

251
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: friend of mine and he I didn't it was on

252
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: the lock screen, so I didn't see what else he

253
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: had put. But I saw the first part say oh

254
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: mg in capital letters, and I'm like what what? And

255
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: then right there my phone died and I'm like, oh

256
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: my god, oh my phone died. But I at least

257
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: had like something, so I ran over, you know, to

258
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: my iPad, and I was like, oh my god. I

259
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: went live. That's what I always do on my channel

260
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: when there's a big signing, I go live. Tyler Man,

261
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: I gotta ask, like, you know, what has it been like,

262
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: you know, working you know with Tyler and Steve and

263
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Coley over all these years, you know, all this time,

264
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: you guys are just having a blast on the podcast.

265
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyler. Uh, It's almost like I got I did

266
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: get lucky with Tyler because I had seen him. Basically

267
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: what happened was I left Barstool and Coley was still there,

268
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: and Steve had left prior to me leaving, so he

269
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: was with like Odyssey doing his own show. Then Coley

270
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: left and went to Underdog, and then Dave basically putting

271
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 2: embargo on me and said, like Coley, you can't like

272
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: rejoin Jared, like, like you can't, like Coley couldn't go

273
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: to DraftKings with me or else he would be in

274
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: breach of his contract and they would sue him. So

275
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: it was like, all right, now I need to do

276
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: a Red Sox show and I can't have Steve or Coley.

277
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: So I was just I listened to Sports Hub and

278
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: I knew Tyler was a Red Sox guy. I listened

279
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: slash watched him on a Red Sox podcast where he

280
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: was a guest, and I was I just knew I

281
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: needed a one sixty two guy. Yeah, So I you know,

282
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: like because I couldn't give the audience Colei and Steve.

283
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: I went back and I asked Pete. I was like, hey, man,

284
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: like I know that you're, you know, knee deep in

285
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: hockey and that's your world now, but you know people

286
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: would go crazy if you came back. And then I

287
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: asked Pat Light. He was kind of doing stuff at

288
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: the end of twenty twenty one, so I was like,

289
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: all right, like we have our comedic side of section ten.

290
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: We can't call it section ten, but like we still

291
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: have the comedic side of it, and I need my

292
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: guy that Then I realized like, oh, like they don't

293
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: watch all the games, like they they don't watch every game.

294
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: So then that's where I went looking for that guy,

295
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: and that was Tyler. So found him, brought him in,

296
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: and I think in the beginning he was probably nervous

297
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: and just wanted to like impress with his baseball knowledge

298
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: and you know how dedicated he is. So it took

299
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: a little while for you know, the real Tyler to

300
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: come out. But once once we got section ten back together,

301
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 2: I warned Steve. I was like, this man, he's he's unhinged,

302
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: Like yeah, don't think I don't know if you know

303
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: what you're getting yourself into. Like he's a one sixty

304
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: two guy. He watches all the games. He's very passionate,

305
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: very knowledgeable, but like he's gonna say some things and

306
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: you're gonna be like, what did you just say? And

307
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: that happens probably once an episode with him, like it

308
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: is a sitcom. So it's been cool because I think

309
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: at first there was probably a little bit of I

310
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: don't want to call it insecurity, but you know, like

311
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: Steve having to hold his ground, like you know, I

312
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: hold this spot, like this is my spot on the show,

313
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: and there was maybe a little bit of tension at first,

314
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: but it's almost like Steve was like the dog that

315
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 2: you had for seven years and then you got a puppy,

316
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: and it's like the puppy just wants to be loved.

317
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 2: Like the puppy is not thinking about competing for attention

318
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: or a spot. The puppy is just like someone loved me,

319
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 2: someone pet me, And that's Tyler. So I think over

320
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: time Steve realized, like, this guy is not coming for

321
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: my spot. Like this guy he just wants to, you know,

322
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 2: entertain the fans, be knowledgeable and have a good time,

323
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: and he just he knows his role and Steve has

324
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: his role. So it's just I don't know, I think

325
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: it's a great dynamic. And then Coley's just Cully's Coley.

326
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: He's yeah, it really is that.

327
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: And honestly, I feel like, you know, if you think

328
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: back to some of the best shows, whether that's you know, TV,

329
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: you know, broadcast, whatever, it's the it's when you have

330
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: several different characters where they bring something different to the

331
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: table and you can just kind of connect with each

332
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: of those characters and a way. I think that's what's

333
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: really cool about Section ten. Is you guys can obviously,

334
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: you know, you can talk about the serious stuff, but

335
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: you could also have some fun at the same time.

336
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: And you know, it's it's one of my favorite shows.

337
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be that guy here, but it

338
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: is a great show. It's good.

339
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. And we like each other. That's the thing.

340
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 2: Like there are shows where it's a marriage. It's like

341
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: this guy is really good at what he does. This

342
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: guy is really good at what he does. So it

343
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 2: works together on the show. But like we hang out,

344
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: you know, like like I mean, Tyler doesn't go outside,

345
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: but Steve comes over for the wrestling pay per views.

346
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: Coley's literally my best friend. Like his newborn son is

347
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: my godson. So like we're all friends in real life,

348
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: and we also do the show.

349
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: I can relate with Tyler there too. I don't go

350
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: outside either. I'm not allowed out in the sun. We're

351
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: too pale.

352
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: That's true. Yeah, that's that's that's health hazard for you.

353
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate. But I got to ask though, you know,

354
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: getting back to Bregman, if we were to get back

355
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: to you know, some some of the baseball stuff here.

356
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: You know, when it comes to the Bregman signing. You know,

357
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: everyone talks about all the boxes that he checks off,

358
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: the right handed bat, the perfect fit at Familyay Park,

359
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: twelve hundred plus ops, what he brings to the clubhouse.

360
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: You know, from a veteran point of view, he used

361
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: award winning a lot in his introductory press conference, lots

362
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: of boxes being checked. Would you have over you know,

363
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: since this signing, do you think there's anything else that

364
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: he brings to the table that maybe we're not even

365
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, considering your relationship with Bregman over

366
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: the years.

367
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think one of the things, just

368
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: talking to other media members floating around the batting cage

369
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: or whatever, it feels to me like this group is

370
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: like they may get along at the field and stuff

371
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: like that, but it's not how it used to be

372
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: where guys would go out for a beer after the game,

373
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 2: or like they would socialize away from the ballpark. It's

374
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: a lot of just all right, like, you know, we

375
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: hang out while we're here, but then we all go

376
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: home and play Xbox by ourselves after. I think that

377
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 2: he'll really help with, you know, the bonding aspect of

378
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: this group, because I mean that that was a tight

379
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: core in Houston that he was a part of and

380
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 2: if he comes here and it's just kind of like yeah,

381
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: like you know, we play together, but like that's about it.

382
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: I think that'll change. And then just hearing some of

383
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: the guys that are like the young hitters on the

384
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: team that are quite simply just saying like I wish

385
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 2: I had someone to talk hitting with, you know, and

386
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: like you would think Rafi would be that guy. He's

387
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: not that guy. Like he just you know, there's guys

388
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: that are super talented that they they just go about

389
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 2: their work and they go about their business and they

390
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 2: keep to themselves and that's their prerogative. But then when

391
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: you have, you know, your younger hitter, like Jared Duran

392
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: is outside of raphaeldever is the best hitter on the team,

393
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: and he's looking around being like, where is there someone

394
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 2: that's better than me or older than me that I

395
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: can talk to? It Because now you've got the Campbell's

396
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: and the the Myers and the Anthony and the Roman

397
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: Anthony is the world where they're gonna be looking at

398
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: Duran and Duran's like, well, I need my guy to

399
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: talk to about hitting, you know. Uh So I think

400
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: that that's like a huge thing that that Bragman will

401
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:28,239
Speaker 2: bring to the table too.

402
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think you bring up a good point there,

403
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, with the big three guys coming up from

404
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: the miners, right, you know, this is even a younger generation.

405
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: You know, it sounds weird for me to say. I'm

406
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: not like, you know, Gandolf the Great over here, but

407
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: you know this is like that next wave. You know,

408
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: what is it?

409
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: What do you call that group of that age?

410
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: Gen Z?

411
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: What is it as gen X? Right X?

412
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: My gosh, like what is happening here?

413
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 3: Is it?

414
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: I can't keep track of it?

415
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. But then you talk, you know,

416
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: you're talking about like the video games and whatnot. You know,

417
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: guys want to go out and you know, try all

418
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: these new restaurants and take pictures. You know, it's like

419
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: it's a completely different aspect now. And I think I

420
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: think it's a good point that you bring up. I

421
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: think Bregman because he's still had Like what seems cool

422
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: about Bregman to me is he still has a good

423
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: amount of youth to him where you know, even if

424
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: you know you're twenty years old, he seems like a

425
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: guy that you could just like have a good time

426
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: with you know, I feel like you can connect with

427
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: a bunch of people.

428
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's a great guy and you know he's

429
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 2: obviously uh. I think like when when Alex kor got

430
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 2: hired as the manager, it's like, all right, we can

431
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 2: bridge the gap between the Latin players the white players. Yeah.

432
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: And I think Bregman because you know, he was playing

433
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 2: in Houston's like he's playing around like Josel two, Like

434
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: he can bridge the gap too as a white kid,

435
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 2: like he can he can bridge that gap too, because

436
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: there are like if you go into clubhouses across the league,

437
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 2: they can be very cliquie. And I think that the

438
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: Latin players can kind of look at Bragman and be like,

439
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: you know what, he's kind of one of us, you know,

440
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: like he's cool with us. So yeah, I think that

441
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: it's like a it's almost like a he bridges cultural

442
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: gaps as well.

443
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean you bring up a good point there

444
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: with Korra. I mean, Coorra, if you ever if you

445
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: need an example of a guy that can talk with

446
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: have a conversation, not just talk, but like actually sit

447
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: down and have a conversation with you, he is the guy.

448
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: And how do I know that? Because he talked to

449
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: freaking me Like that is like, of all the people

450
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: he could have a conversation with, he did with me.

451
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 1: So like if he do that, I mean he can

452
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: talk with anyone out there. That's why you know, Kor

453
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: is so valuable. And I do think, uh, well, I

454
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: don't know. I'll ask you. I mean, do you think

455
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: that was a big part in Bregman coming to Boston?

456
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: Was that connection there?

457
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 2: It didn't hurt, you know, I think having that, I

458
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: think obviously A it's the money, Like, let's be honest,

459
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: like his A is the money. B I think he

460
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 2: was looking at the ballpark factors like he wanted he

461
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 2: was not like money aside, Like yes, like money is

462
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: the number one reason why he chose his destination. But

463
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: he wants to be a Hall of Famer, you know,

464
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: like this is someone that wasn't going to be, Like

465
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: all right, I won two rings in Houston, great run

466
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 2: with the Astros in the playoffs every year of my

467
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: career up to this point. Now it's time for me

468
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: to go to the Pablo Santa vall route and just

469
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: like get the bag and fall off, like who cares

470
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 2: what happens to my career now. Once I get the

471
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 2: bag and I've already I have nothing left to prove.

472
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: That's pretty much what Santabal said when he got here.

473
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: He said, I have nothing left to prove when he

474
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 2: showed up fat in twenty sixteen, because he had won

475
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: his three rings and he had his World Series MVP

476
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 2: and he got his bag. So like Bregman is not

477
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 2: that guy. Bregman. He wants to continue to win. So

478
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw what was it. Jen

479
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: McCaffrey had the piece where him Bregman and his wife

480
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: Reagan had a sixteen page doc document of questions for

481
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: the Red Sox, which I need to know more about

482
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: that packet. I want to know what else was in there.

483
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 2: But he was obviously very invested in learning about the

484
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: future of the Red Sox organization. Bregman has the great

485
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: relationship with Alex Korra, but he also has a great

486
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: relationship with aj Hinch. You know, so I think Detroit

487
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: having more years on the table and more total dollars

488
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: on the table like that can't be slept on. You know.

489
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: I know that Ac and Breggie got a great relationship,

490
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 2: but there were several factors I believe why he chose Boston.

491
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's uh, that's that's got to be a mission

492
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: of yours this year to go get that, go get

493
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: those questions we need to.

494
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,239
Speaker 2: We'll find out tomorrow night.

495
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that sounds good to me. I'm excited for that.

496
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 1: The uh I had to really control myself when you

497
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: just brought up the Pablo Sandoval thing. One of my

498
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: favorite I always keep a bunch of gifts and reactionary

499
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: pictures like saved on my phone, you know, to react

500
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: to things on Twitter. It's just something I like to do.

501
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: But one of those pictures is the picture of the

502
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: Pablo Sandoval article that you had look at this fat

503
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: FN piece of bleep. It's a it's a family friendly show.

504
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: I will not curse the show. It's one of my

505
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: favorites of all time. It surprisingly goes with a whole

506
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: bunch of different things, you know.

507
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 2: It's it's yeah, so good. Yeah I was. I was

508
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 2: drunk on the fourth of July and twenty twenty whenever

509
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 2: with that blog, but I stand by but.

510
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: You know the best things that happened during those times,

511
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, perfectly.

512
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 2: What about that.

513
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: Guy's up to these days? What is he playing? In?

514
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: Uh?

515
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: Playing?

516
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 2: What was it? Again?

517
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: Like the packet the Pakistanly?

518
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: What was he? What was Someone tagged me in a

519
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: video of his like yesterday, and I'm just like I

520
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: I give up, Like I feel like the war that

521
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: I've waged on Pablo Sandoval cannot go a decade like

522
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 2: it's it's been ten years. I've I've moved on from

523
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 2: that chapter, especially because he's never engaged like if he

524
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 2: if he ever fought back then then it would reignite

525
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: it for me. But until he throws a CounterPunch, I think,

526
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 2: I think I've the body's cold. We're done respect.

527
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: I'll give respect there where he stayed away.

528
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 2: From this, give him a lik I would too, because

529
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: he has no legs to stand on, like he has

530
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: no ammo.

531
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: In the conversation, he just got punction in the face

532
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: a million times and he took it like a shamp

533
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: I'll get take it like a shamp. Hey.

534
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 3: Real nutrition has the power to make a real difference

535
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: in people's lives. So let me talk about or gain

Speaker 2: Tastes too good.

540
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: It tastes too good. I want to have a second

541
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: one because there's tons of protein shakes out there that

542
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,920

Speaker 3: so they know, just a quick shake nice.

555
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: And I got to ask, you know, when are we're

556
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: talking about all the good stuff with Bregman here. Lots

557
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: lots of good vibes going on with that. But getting

558
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: back to Rafi, you know, unfortunately not a great day yesterday.

559
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: But like I've said, you know, over the years now,

560
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: we've had many of these times where you have two

561
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: thousand and four winning a World Series and then you

562
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 1: have Theowebstine in a gorilla suit. You know, it's kind

563
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: of just how it goes here in Red sox Land.

564
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, thinking back to the Raffi press conference,

565
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: it also gave me vibes. This is also something we connect.

566
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty underrated connection that me and

567
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: you have is the wrestling factor where Raffi at the

568
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: press conference. I gotta ask you, is this a good analogy?

569
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: I look at the Raffi press conference, him saying no,

570
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: and I think of Sean Michael's Undertaker WrestleMania twenty six.

571
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: Sean Michael slaps Undertaker in the face, then he gets tombstoned.

572
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: Is that what's going on here with Raffi going he's

573
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: being defiant on the way out and do you see

574
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: that here?

575
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: I could see that. Yeah, because I think at the

576
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 2: end of the day, and I said this, I love Davison.

577
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: He was the interpreter for this. He didn't fully interpret

578
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 2: one of the questions. Yes, like when Chris Catillo said,

579
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: you know, isn't it the team's decision, and Dever said

580
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 2: it's my decision, and Davison did not translate that part

581
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 2: of it. I think probably to do raffia solid so

582
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: that there wasn't a firestorm. But it's like, well, I mean,

583
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 2: there's obvious the Spanish speaking Red Sox fans they are going

584
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 2: to know exactly what he said, and I think, like

585
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: the I don't know the Spanish terminology for it, but

586
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: it was also like a word that sounded like an

587
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: English speaking person could could hear exactly what he said

588
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: without knowing Spanish. So I think Coley made the point

589
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: yesterday that if he had just given up third base,

590
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: you would call him lazy, And the fact that he's

591
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: going down fighting is like it should at least be

592
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 2: to some degree admirable that he's saying like I'm not

593
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: giving it up, like I'm not not moving off my position,

594
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: Like I may not be the best third baseman, but

595
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 2: I take pride in the work that I don't know,

596
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: so I respect it. Ultimately, I think he knows it's

597
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: not his decision. You can say you think it's your decision,

598
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: but it's not. So yeah, I I just hope that

599
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: there's a peaceful resolution, and it's RAFFI coming to his

600
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: senses and not him just being disgruntled forever now over this.

601
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I respect that part of it too.

602
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: As also what I'm making clear when I said on

603
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: the way out, I don't mean like a trade or anything.

604
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: I just mean yea of the position.

605
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: Sorry if I made that little confusing there, But no,

606
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know I can think in a way

607
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: it should resonate with the people of Boston, right you know,

608
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: we're you know, we fight hard for what we love,

609
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, like we we have passion. And I'm glad

610
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: Rafi is showing that right because if you just said okay,

611
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: well then then you're gonna look at it from the

612
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: other side, where like, oh this guy doesn't care, you know,

613
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: so to me, you know, I'm glad that he is

614
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: taking this approach. I just hope in the end they

615
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: find a middle ground here. You know, I actually wonder

616
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: kind of you know, two people, I'm always thinking about

617
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: how other people are, you know, thinking about things. I

618
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,719
Speaker 1: actually wonder what Bregman and even someone like Christian Campbell

619
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: are thinking right now? What do you what do you

620
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: think is going through their heads right now?

621
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: And Bregman is probably thinking to himself, I'm making forty

622
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: million dollars no matter what happens. I'm starting somewhere no

623
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: matter what happens. Campbell is probably the guy that's like,

624
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: do I am I Am I making the team out

625
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 2: of camp or not? And if I don't make the

626
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: team out of camp, then how are we finding a

627
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: spot for me? Obviously injuries happened, but you know I

628
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: I would have more concerns if I'm Campbell. But at

629
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: the same time, I probably don't have a ton of

630
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: concern because the Red Sox not committing to Bregman at

631
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 2: second base or third base like that means it like

632
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 2: that's Campbell. That has nothing to do with Devers, has

633
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: nothing to do with Bregman. That has everything to do

634
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: with Campbell. Because if Bregman is your third baseman, it's

635
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 2: it's not Devs sliding over to second base, it's Campbell

636
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: making the team out of camp. So he's the X

637
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: factor in the situation. But he's a humble kid. Even

638
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: if even if you told him, I'm sure he'd be

639
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: stoked if you told him he's he's making the team

640
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: on opening Day. But even if you told him like, hey, like,

641
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: you know, just chill down here for a month. It

642
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't crush his confidence, it wouldn't ruin his ego. Like

643
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: he's I don't know if you've had the chance to

644
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: talk to him yet, but he's no, He's got all

645
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: the confidence in the world in his in himself and

646
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: his ability, but all while being super humble at the

647
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: same time.

648
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, and that's what I'm getting a lot from,

649
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, talking with some of these guys. You know,

650
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: I've spoken with Mikey Romero, you know, David Sandlin. The

651
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: way they all come off there. They're all extremely talented

652
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: in what they do, but they're all just very you know,

653
00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: even keeled, very humble, and just very approachable. Like I

654
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: think the Red Sox they've done a great job with

655
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: building not just talent, but good character within the farm system,

656
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: and I'm excited to see how that goes. You know,

657
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: I think of a funny thing in my head, you know,

658
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: with Christian Campbell, it kind of makes me think, like,

659
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's obviously this whole thing is not his fault, obviously,

660
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: but it's he's created in a way. He's creating it

661
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: because he's so freaking good, and uh, you know, he's

662
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: just he's just got to be that guy right now

663
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: of course anyway.

664
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 2: But I can't wait to see him come up.

665
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: No, I think, you know, he kind of reminds me.

666
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: You know, I've talked with Jeff of Baseball America not

667
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: too long ago and asked him a simple question, does

668
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell remind you of Mookie Bets but bigger? And

669
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, you know, I think I could see that.

670
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: You know, I think this is kind of like Mooky, right.

671
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 1: He kind of came out of nowhere in the minors, right,

672
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: not like a very late pick, but kind of in

673
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: the middle rounds and a guy that just tore it

674
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: up in the minor leagues. Do you kind of get

675
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: the same vibes with Christy Campbell here?

676
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? And a guy that you asked to change positions

677
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: to so that he could fit the roster at the

678
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 2: big league level. Like I remember watching pass Socks games

679
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: on Nessen because I think they aired Mookie Betts's first

680
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: game as a right fielder. And I mean everyone was

681
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 2: already high on Mooki at that point regardless, but as

682
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: a second basement and then you know, he gets moved

683
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: to right field, and I'm like, I kind of want

684
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: to tune into this and see, you know, what's going on.

685
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: And I believe he like threw someone out from the

686
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,959
Speaker 2: outfield and I was like, all right, I've seen enough,

687
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 2: like get him up here, So yeah, like it. I

688
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: think it's very similar in that sense where ten years later,

689
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 2: I think Red Sox fans are even more attentive to

690
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 2: the farm system than they were back then. There's just

691
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: way more coverage of it. I think that there's there's

692
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 2: more access to it, you know, with shows like this

693
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 2: and podcasts and the Socks guys. I mean that's been

694
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: you know, you mentioned Boston Dirt Dogs. Like Boston Dirt

695
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 2: Dogs and Socks prospects were on my like favorites page

696
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: in high school, like they were just always around, always

697
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 2: a valuable resource. And I think it was Tyler might

698
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 2: have made the point about how, you know, growing up,

699
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: he thought like every team had a Sox prospects, Like

700
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 2: there was like a raised prospects and like no, like

701
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 2: we just have really really good prospect coverage in Boston

702
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: and we're so lucky to have those guys, so having

703
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 2: them as a resource and just like the media coverage

704
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: and all the YouTube channels now that cover prospects. That's

705
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 2: what makes it exciting. And I think, you know, when

706
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: we look at the Red Sox next wave that we've

707
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 2: been talking about, I don't think that there's ever been

708
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: a more well covered group of Red Sox prospects in

709
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 2: the team's history. So we're just were more knowledgeable about it,

710
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 2: so that allows us to be more excited about it.

711
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I love that you bring up how

712
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: Socks Prospects was a favorite, like a favorite tab of yours.

713
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: What I like about it is they look pretty much

714
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: exactly the same, like the website.

715
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 2: The website looks exactly the same as it did twenty

716
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: years ago.

717
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeahn't updated at once. It just makes me think when

718
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm on my you know, I don't remember the computer

719
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: I had. I think I had like a like a

720
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: Dell or something. This big old monitor on my desk.

721
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: It makes me think back to when I'm looking at

722
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: that page years ago. Boston Dirt Dogs they got to

723
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: make a comeback man. Every morning I checked their site,

724
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: it was always.

725
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,479
Speaker 2: That guy went off the deep end. I think, ah, yeah,

726
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 2: the guy that ran it. He hated me. I remember

727
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: being heartbroken because in two thousand and seven, during the

728
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: Red Sox Nation President think like I was like you,

729
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 2: I read Boston Dirt Dogs. I would update it like

730
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: five hundred times a day. I would watch I would

731
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: go on there multiple times a day throughout the entire day.

732
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 2: And but when the President thing happened, he like wrote

733
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 2: something making fun of me, and I was like, uh yeah,

734
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 2: and like we've just had like a complicated relationship ever

735
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 2: since then because I think he he was, you know,

736
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 2: like he like talked down to me when I was

737
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 2: a teenager and then kind of just blew past what

738
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: Boston Dirt Dogs was. But then he Yeah, it's a

739
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 2: very weird relate. So it's it's weird because like I

740
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 2: have such fun, positive memories nostalgia of going on the website,

741
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: but then when you learn like the guy behind it,

742
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, ah, well yeah, yeah, it kind of ruined

743
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: it for me. Yeah.

744
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 1: Well I'll think of the good time, so I'll try

745
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: to think of that. But it does remember that, you know,

746
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: thinking back again, we keep using the word over the

747
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: phrase over the years. Heading into this season, right with

748
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: all the moves minus the Raffi thing, all the good

749
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: vibes as of late. You know, what are you thinking here,

750
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, heading into twenty twenty five, have you felt

751
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: or when was the last time you felt this kind

752
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: of excitement for a season.

753
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: Probably twenty nineteen, but not in a similar sense. You know,

754
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 2: like twenty nineteen was coming off a World Series title,

755
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: and I really believe they were going to go back

756
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: to back. I was like, it's the exact same team.

757
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they at least be back in the World

758
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,479
Speaker 2: Series and we see what happens when we get there.

759
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: But that team was such a disappointment and it fell

760
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: apart so quick, like they were what like three and

761
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: eleven when they came back to Fenway for the ring

762
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 2: ceremony or something like that, something crazy. So the wheels

763
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 2: fell off immediately. So that was just a very short

764
00:39:55,440 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: lived excitement for that season. This one feels differently in

765
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: the sense that I compared them the other day to

766
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Braves in twenty eighteen, where you knew that

767
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: they had a bunch of young talent coming up, but

768
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: they were early. Like twenty eighteen, no one expected the

769
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 2: Braves to be as good as they were, and I

770
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: think that that's what the Red Sox have the potential

771
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: to be this year depending on you know, when does

772
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 2: Campbell get here, When does Anthony get here? Does Meier

773
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: factor in? Whatever? But I think the Red Sox people

774
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 2: are aware because of their farm system, they're going to

775
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 2: be good again and it's going to be soon. But

776
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: does their window open sooner because of the additions that

777
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 2: they made this past offseason? I believe so. But then

778
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: even you know, you look at the Atlanta Braves, their

779
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 2: window open in eighteen. They didn't win their World Series

780
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 2: until twenty twenty one. So I'm not thinking World Series

781
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 2: or bust like that used to be the expectation around here.

782
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: I'm not thinking World Series or bust. But I am

783
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 2: thinking playoffs, and I am thinking that they're going to

784
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 2: be a team that surprises people as to how good

785
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: they can be.

786
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of you know, there's not one season

787
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: where I can think about where I compare the feeling

788
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: to this. I think of a few different seasons. I

789
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: think of, in a way, two thousand and seven, because

790
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: you had, you know, a good amount of young talent

791
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: that was going to be contributing. They made signings, you

792
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: still already had some pretty decent talent on the team,

793
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: but you were still a little too close to two

794
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: thousand and four for that to be comparable here. But

795
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: then I also mixed in a little bit of that

796
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen vibe going into the season, because obviously twenty

797
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 1: twelve was a disaster and you just didn't know really

798
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,959
Speaker 1: what you were going to get. But then I also

799
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: think of like twenty sixteen, you're kind of going into

800
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: that window. So I feel like there's a little bit

801
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: of everything when it comes to feelings over the years

802
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,080
Speaker 1: with this team. I got to ask you, you know,

803
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: one final question right now, I'm going to put you

804
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 1: on the spot. How many wins for the twenty twenty

805
00:41:58,920 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: five Red Sox.

806
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 2: I've fluctuated back and forth between eighty nine and ninety

807
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 2: one because I hate round numbers for my predictions. If

808
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: I told you that I was going between eighty nine

809
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 2: and ninety one, which one do you feel more comfortable with?

810
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: Bregman makes it ninety one for me like that, he

811
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: just gives that. It gives me that good feeling, you know,

812
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: I think ninety one, I think that's okay, Okay, nine

813
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: feels a little and this is me. I'm really trying

814
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: and That's one thing about you know, talking Major League

815
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: Baseball on my channel, is I really keep an even keel.

816
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: I stayed down the middle. I honestly really do think

817
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 1: unbiased here. I do think ninety at least ninety wins.

818
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: That sounds about right.

819
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: So okay, all right, then I'll go ninety one. You

820
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 2: talk me into it. I think I eight.

821
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: Ninety two, so I think you know, ninety one. I

822
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 1: think that's pretty good. And I'll ask you one more

823
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: final question, you know, just touching on the you know,

824
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: all the Raffi situation. How do you see this infield?

825
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, playing out? You know where do you see

826
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: it opening day? You know? Where do you see it?

827
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: Maybe like June? You know, I know things can change,

828
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: but how do you see this infield kind of shaping out?

829
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 2: I think opening day, just to appease him, Rafi will

830
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: be the third baseman. I think it'll be bregnant second.

831
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 2: I think it'll be Raffia at third story, at short

832
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 2: causes at first. Yeah, and you also have to like

833
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,839
Speaker 2: what happens to Yoshida, Like Yoshida like what are we doing?

834
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 2: I don't know?

835
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: You wait, do you mean the best player in the

836
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: entire freaking universe is right.

837
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that guy.

838
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: Yes, really good trade out there if anyone really you know.

839
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 2: If you want him, Yeah, you're gonna have to give

840
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 2: us the whole farm for that guy. He's the best.

841
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's well worth the contract. There is show

842
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: hal Tani kind of a kind of a kind of

843
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: a move here. I'm just saying, so.

844
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think I've got Devors at third on

845
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: opening day, but by June, I think it's gonna be

846
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,439
Speaker 2: bregman like, you know, especially like if there's if there's

847
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 2: shoulder concern, yeah, with Devers, then it's like you can

848
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: at least tell them like, hey, man, like you're you're

849
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 2: you're more valuable to us as a d H than

850
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,320
Speaker 2: a guy that's on the injured list because you're throwing

851
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: the ball around or diving for balls like that. You

852
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: just don't need to like we have a third basement.

853
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 2: You don't have to do that. You're already paid, you

854
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 2: already got your contract, Like what are we doing? So

855
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: I think ultimately the switch does happen, but I don't

856
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 2: think that they get that resolved before the season starts.

857
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: Now, well, that's that's one thing I liked about the

858
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: Bregman signing, and that was one positive I kept bringing

859
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: up is that he had like this contingency plan like

860
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 1: built in with him, right, because you could just go

861
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: with him at second or if you make that move

862
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,760
Speaker 1: at some point, well, you know, we can play third

863
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: depending on what happens with Campbell either way. What I think,

864
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, any you know, positivity, negativity, people debating about

865
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: positions and whatnot. I think what's good is that what

866
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: we can all agree on where we can find middle ground.

867
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: You know at Red Sox fans always love to go

868
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: back and forth. Is that we're talking about the Red

869
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: Sox and we're talking about the the amount of success

870
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: that they could have. Right, You're starting to feel that

871
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: excitement again, and it's it's getting pretty fun in here.

872
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: It's getting pretty fun. Hopefully they figure this out with Raffy.

873
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 2: But just good.

874
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: Yes, I think that's the right word relevant because that's

875
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: where they should be. You know, yes, too many years now.

876
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: I know they've been trying to rebuild the farm and everything,

877
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, but I'm glad everything is kind of starting

878
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: to come full circle now. It feels good. But yep,

879
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,040
