1
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: Well, that was a lot of fun, ladies and gentlemen.

2
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: My goodness, what a showing for the offense tonight. Eighteen runs,

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, a doubleheader today, I mean, what a day

4
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: of baseball for the Red Sox today. Had to walk

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: off in Game one, you felt like maybe that game

6
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: was slipping away at one point. They battled back. I mean,

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: they battled all day in Game one, and to see

8
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: them come away with the victory there absolutely fantastic. And

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: then you had just this onslaught of runs tonight. You

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: know I've been talking about in the last couple of

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, post games, you see the potential of this offense.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: You know, you saw the potential of this offense even

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: in Texas, even when they weren't scoring runs because they're

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: working at bats, you know, getting unlucky at times. It

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: just felt like, you know, they were trying to break

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: through when they were in Texas. And then you start

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: to see them wake up a little bit in Baltimore.

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: They start putting some runs on the board, and here

19
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: you go putting an exclamation point on this series. I mean,

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: my goodness, I mean, what a day today, What a day.

21
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot to talk about obviously two

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: games today. I'm not gonna go over you know, two

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: full post games. I mean, that's just gonna be way

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: too much for one episode. So I'll give you my

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: quick thoughts on game one, you know, to do a

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: little bit of a quick recap, and honestly, there's just

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: so much to talk about with game two tonight, so

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna compact it as much as possible

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: in this episode. But you know, just some instant reactions,

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, before we get to the sponsor for tonight.

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: You know, this just a fun day. I mean, honestly,

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, nine doubles through six innings tonight. Again, Yes,

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: it's the Cardinals, right. I saw people yapping on Twitter,

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, say, no, it's the Cardinals. They're not really

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: that great. Yeah, I mean coming into the year, you know,

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't really a team you were looking very highly on.

37
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: But it wasn't a team that's like terrible, like people

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: are talking about them like the White Sox for crying

39
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: out loud. Uh. The Cardinals still have some pretty talented

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: players on that team. You know, I guarantee those people

41
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: that are saying on you know, Twitter, land, Oh, it's

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: just the Cardinals. I guarantee when their team goes and

43
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: beats up, you know, the White Sox or the Angels

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: or the Rockies, they're gonna be like, oh, my team's

45
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: the best team ever. It's like, what can you do?

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Will You or Bray? Absolutely incredible? Uh, the magical start

47
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: to a season continues, and you hear people shanning MVP tonight.

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: I think it's a little too soon, a little too soon.

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: You know. I was having some fun on Twitter tonight

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: and I was yapping myself a little bit. I could

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: be a yapper at times. In case you haven't gotten

52
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: that from me. I always try to stay down the middle,

53
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: but Draftnick Robbie likes to come out here and there.

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: You know, I can definitely do myself some yappin', that's

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: for sure. But will You or Bray? You know, yeah,

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: it's fun. You know, it's always a good time, especially

57
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the season when your team is

58
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: doing well. But you know, in will You or Bray,

59
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: I feel like I've mentioned this every single post game.

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: It's just amazing what this guy's doing. He missed so

61
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: much time in spring training, had a big illness, lost

62
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: a lot of weight. You know you all know the

63
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: story by now. It's beating it up. It's beating a

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: dead drum at this point, what did I just say,

65
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: beating a dead horse? I can't even speak. My brain

66
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: is that fried right now. But just an incredible start. Man.

67
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: You know had twins as well. You know it's man

68
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: give it up for will you or BRAI? You man,

69
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, this is exactly what you envisioned from Alex

70
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: Bregman when you signed him. Right to me, you know,

71
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because we've had Nolan Ernado here

72
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: the past few days and you go back, you know,

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: to that whole thing. You know, you were thinking at

74
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: one point Aeronauto was going to be the guy for

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. I was saying from day one, Alex

76
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Bregman to me was the better option. There was no

77
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: debating that with me. Alex. I thought Aeronato could have

78
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: been a good fallback option, but Bregman was the guy

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: and you saw that here and it's just working out

80
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: in so many ways right now. Just incredible Alex Bregman.

81
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: What a game for him tonight. We'll get to him

82
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: in just a little bit, and listen, I'm gonna say

83
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: this right off the bat, everybody, I'm gonna say this.

84
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: I think Raffi Devers is starting to like being a

85
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: DH AM. I getting that feeling. I think he's starting

86
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: to be like, all right, you know what, I kind

87
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: of like this whole dh thing. This is pretty decent.

88
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: I like this. And you saw Bregman making some plays tonight. Man,

89
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's just man, it's a good situation all

90
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: the way around. But Raffi isn't just picking up the hits,

91
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: you know, not just getting a home or today getting

92
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: some doubles. Tonight, he is hitting the absolute crap out

93
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: of the ball. He's not just hitting the ball. He's

94
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: like tattooing these ball. I think he likes d H

95
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: Hunter Dobbins Hunter Dobbins debut tonight. We interviewed Hunter Dobbins

96
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: on the channel about a month ago. He said his

97
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: goal was, you know, just like every other prospect, to

98
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: get to the major leagues, but he said he wanted

99
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: to help contribute in any way he could, whether that

100
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: was as you know, a middle reliever, long reliever, spot starter,

101
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. Well, he accomplished that goal

102
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful. Seeing his parents in the stands tonight. His

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: mom was tearing up. Those are the moments that you

104
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: live for, ladies and gentlemen. That was fantastic, great debut

105
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: for Hunter Dobbins, you know, honestly felt like what a

106
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: good debut for a rookie should be. You know, had

107
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: his bumps along the way, but very effective. We'll get

108
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: into that in just a little bit, but before we do,

109
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: as always, we have to go over tonight's sponsor and

110
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: I'll let the guys over at foul Territory take over

111
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: on that one.

147
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about. Do you see all these

148
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: numbers on the screen. Look at all the stats on

149

Speaker 1: the screen. I mean that is that is beautiful. That

150
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: is beautiful. But let's do a quick recap of game one.

151
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take too long with game one. You

152
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: know we've already digested that. You know, we got a

153
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 1: lot to digest with just game two. But again, getting

154
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: back to where your brain walk off, you know, I

155
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: think the again, it just keep it's getting crazier because

156
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, Alex Korra was talking before the game today saying,

157
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: you know, he's got some heavy legs. You know, trust me,

158
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: I know what heavy legs feel like. Okay, you know

159
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: from you know, I'm not gonna say I'm at the

160
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: level of a major league baseball player. I never will be.

161
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm just a dufist that sits at my desk. But

162
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, I've competed in powerlifting before. I've had many,

163
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: many grueling squat sessions and whatever it may be, I

164
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: know what fatigue feels like. I know what heavy legs

165
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: feels like. It's pretty tough to do a lot of stuff,

166
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: especially trying to hit a baseball for crying out loud.

167
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: But he did have a pink shit appearance. It's coming

168
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: into the game today. In Game one, he got the

169
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: big walk there in the ninth, you know, that was

170
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: the catalyt, that was part of the catalyst to help

171
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: get the Red Sox just back to tie the game.

172
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: And then he came up with a big walk off

173
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: hit there. Will you or Brady? Man, the magical season continues,

174
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: and you know it is pretty crazy, man. You know,

175
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of people today talking about will Youer.

176
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: It's almost like you feel bad for some of the

177
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: stuff you were saying this past offseason, and hey, I

178
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: was a part of it. You know. I was always

179
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: one of the guys, you know, one of the people

180
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: out there that I never had any issues with. Will

181
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: you or bray You the player and the person as well.

182
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: Big fan of will you Er? Bray You. I tweeted

183
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: a lot of positive things about him last year, like

184
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: he was my Rookie of the Year last year. You know,

185
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: the guy was incredible. Sure had his struggles again against

186
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: left handed pitching, But you think about the organization, you

187
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: think about the number one prospect in baseball Roman Anthony,

188
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: and you know you're just thinking, like, okay, is will

189
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: You're Not that he was bad by any means, kind

190
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: of like how people are talking about Carlos nevas Connor Wong.

191
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: It's not that situation. It was more just odd man

192
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: out kind of a thing. And you're thinking, okay, well

193
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: will youer? You know, yeah, we saw some good things,

194
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: but this is a guy that has high value when

195
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: it comes to being potential trade piece. You know, a

196
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: lot of years of control. I was thinking in my head,

197
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: you know, for ever since Willier came up, this is

198
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: a guy that could be a really solid player for

199
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: the Red Sox or wherever he may be. And you know,

200
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: I was never down on will youer, but it's like

201
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: it was kind of one of those things, is he

202
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: the odd man out? And yeah, you know, all definitely,

203
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, be accountable here. I definitely talked a lot

204
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: about will You're being a trade piece, you know, being

205
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: able to go get some pitching or whatever it may be.

206
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: A lot of us were you know, we were talking about

207
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: possible trades to Seattle. I even said something about you know,

208
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: Dylan Cees, you know when that rumor came up when

209
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: when Jared Carrabas was talking about that, saying how the

210
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: Red Sox were interested in Dylan Cees towards the end

211
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: of the off season, and even I tweeted out saying, Yeah,

212
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: I think will Your would be the most logical guy

213
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: in that situation. Even when I think back on it,

214
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, I still don't think that would have been

215
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: a great idea anyway, because he had so many years

216
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: of control and you'd only be getting one year of

217
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: Dylan Cease. I was just thinking from the Padres point

218
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: of view that they would probably want someone like Willi

219
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: or Bray You. But you know, either way, you know,

220
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: I think we all were talking about trades with Willier,

221
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: and I think it's safe to say we're very happy

222
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: that he's still in Boston. I hope he looked at

223
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: a lot of tweets this past offseason and this guy

224
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: is just going he's using this as motivation. I really

225
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: hope that is the case in the end, though. He's

226
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: just a good ballplayer and very happy to have him

227
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: in Boston. Shoutouts here from Game one Sean newcom Hey

228
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: much better start today than he had against Baltimore last

229
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: time out. I mean, the guy was just getting hammered

230
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: right off the bat, but ended up having a pretty

231
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: decent day today, four and two thirds one, earned five k's.

232
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: He got another double play today. This guy's been a

233
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: double play machine for the Red Sox. I do wonder, if,

234
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, depending on what what's going on here with

235
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: BeO gi Alito or are they gonna be coming back this week,

236
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: is he gonna get another turn in the rotation if

237
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: this ends up being it for newcome Hey. You know what,

238
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, when you look back over the course

239
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: of a long season, a guy making a couple of

240
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: spots starts ends up being more valuable than you would think,

241
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: just to kind of help pave the way. But Sean Newcomb,

242
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: pretty decent day here. David Hamilton to out RBI base

243
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: hit to start the scoring in Game one today, David Hamilton,

244
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: you know he picked up a few hits here today. Rome,

245
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: Goan zalez Man. This is a guy that was stepping

246
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: up here today in both games. He got the double

247
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: that made it four to three in the ninth inning,

248
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: So shout out to him, and then RAFFI, you know,

249
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: let's get back to him. Of course, I'm kind of

250
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: working in you know, chronological kind of chronological order here.

251
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: But he had the walk to tie the game in

252
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: the ninth, but go back. He had his first home

253
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: run of the year in the fifth inning to get

254
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: the lead back. At one point, Rafi, it looks like

255
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: he's turned a corner. I'm not worried about him. I

256
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: wasn't even worried about him in the first few games.

257
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: His first game in spring was March fifteenth, for crying

258
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: out loud, I mean, good grief. I mean, what do

259
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: you expect? I mean, I remember someone told me this

260
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: a little while ago. Hitters are always going to be

261
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more behind than the pictures because the

262
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: pictures they're kind of working through their routine through spring training.

263
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: They're building up the innings. But the hitters, man, these

264
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: are guys where you know they're getting their timing down.

265
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: It's not such a you know, a progressive overload to say,

266
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's not really like a what's the word

267
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, I'm going blank on the word, But

268
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Where pictures are just steadily

269
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: building up, hitters, you know, they're kind of having their

270
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: ups and downs and whatnot. He got started really late,

271
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, March fifteenth. Man, he barely had a spring,

272
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, unfortunately he had to have the

273
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 1: embarrassing starts striking out like eight hundred times. But you

274
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: knew RAFFI with the track record he's one of the

275
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: best hitters in the game for a long time he had.

276
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: I think that off day really was the best thing

277
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: for him. That day between Game one and two with

278
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: the Orioles, I really think that was the key for him.

279
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: I think it kind of let him breathe a little bit,

280
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: probably looked at a few things on the tape, you know.

281
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: I I think that was really it. But he's just

282
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: hitting the crap out of the ball right now. Everything

283
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: he's hitting it just looks like it's like two hundred

284
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: miles an hour. It's the timing looks right. And again,

285
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: I'll say this again, I wonder if he's starting to

286
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: just like being a DH who knows, you know, how

287
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: he feels about it. But it's looking pretty good right now.

288
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: And then you know, going back to Game one, I

289
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: also gotta you know, say this, the bullpen was a

290
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: little up and down. A shout out to a role

291
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: as Chapman locked it down there in the ninth You know, Chatman, Man,

292
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: when he's on, this is a guy where you know,

293
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: you're looking at the stuff that he's got, the vlow

294
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: that he's got, the way he stares down these hitters, man,

295
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, it gets the blood flowing a little bit.

296
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: I'll just say that. I know, you know, all the

297
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: off the field stuff with him in the past, I know,

298
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: but Chatman, the fact that he's pumping this vlo and

299
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: this stuff at you know, thirty seven years old, it's

300
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: pretty crazy, honestly, but good to see him come in

301
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: and lock it down and not give me a heart

302
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: attack in the ninth inning. But my last thought on

303
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, you know, from game one, I was

304
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: thinking about this after the game went final. This team

305
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: just feels different. I got the same I don't want

306
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: to say, the same exact vibe that the Yankees gave

307
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: me last year. I don't know, man, I've been not

308
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: saying I'm like an expert by any means, but there's

309
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: just something that you can smell in the air. There's

310
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: just something you can't even describe it. The Yankees gave

311
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: me that feeling last year. I remember it was like

312
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: it was that first week they I think they had

313
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: I think they had swept the Astros. I can't remember,

314
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: but there was just something different about that team. And

315
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: I have that same thought about this Red Sox team.

316
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: This is a team that they're just battling every single game.

317
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: You know, even if they fall down, they're still chipping away,

318
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: even if they take a lead like they have and

319
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: on a couple of occasions, you know, like in Baltimore

320
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: with Saint Louis this past weekend game one, they just

321
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: keep going. Like you saw tonight, they just keep going.

322
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: They just keep their foot on the pedal. That's a

323
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: good thing. But everybody, I got some stats. I got

324
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: some stats for you. I'm not just gonna sit here

325
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: and you know, talk like I'm you know, one of

326
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: the one of the local Boston radio guys. I got

327
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: some numbers for you. They've been working the counts. They're

328
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: sixth coming into today. They were sixth in walk percentage

329
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: on the year. They were at a ten point five

330
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: walk percentage coming into today, compared to eight percent last year.

331
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: So they've upped the walks in the early going so

332
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: far this year. So they're working the counts better. Defense, right,

333
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: they are ranking better defensively, It's still way too early

334
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: to be looking at all the defensive numbers, but they

335
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: are ranking. They're you know, they're miles better than what

336
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: they were last year. You can just see that with

337
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: your eyes. At third base, Christian Campbell still looks like

338
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: he's getting a little more comfortable at second base. You know,

339
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: some of the there's been a couple of bobbles with him.

340
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about it, though. The guy's so athletic,

341
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: and I think just with time, the more reps he gets,

342
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine.

343
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 3: Uh.

344
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: Speaking of athletic though, this team is definitely more athletic

345
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: this year. Last year they ranked I don't remember the ranking,

346
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: but they had a five point one speed score on fangrafts.

347
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: That's how they judge just overall speed. Five point one

348
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: last year, and so far this year it's close to

349
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: a six. So you are seeing a more athletic Red

350
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: Sox team. But again, you know, I'll bring up the

351
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: fact once again, when they're ahead, man, they keep their

352
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: foot on the gas. They just keep pumping out the runs,

353
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 1: they keep pumping out the hits. This is a relentless offense.

354
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: They just keep going. And I think you're noticing even

355
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: though Cassus isn't like Cossa's got Oh my goodness, he

356
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: got robbed tonight by the way, Jordan Walker, goodness, gracious,

357
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: poor Tristan Cassus can't even can't even get a Holme run,

358
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: can't even get it on the mix. But you know,

359
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: just simply having him in the lineup, the lineup is

360
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: just deeper, right, You don't necessarily have to be doing,

361
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: you know, what will your bray You is doing, or

362
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: what raf He's doing or Bregman's doing. Simply just your

363
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: presence in the lineup just gives you that extencsion and

364
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: obviously Will You're you know, going towards you know, near

365
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 1: the bottom of the order, in that six or seventh

366
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: spot wherever it may be. You know, just him doing

367
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: what he's doing, that extension is so much better than

368
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: what it was last year. And you know, even just

369
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Trevor's story, you know, story is getting in on the action.

370
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: He's homeward. A couple of times. He had a double tonight.

371
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: I think he had one double. It felt like everyone

372
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: got a double tonight. What was it again, Oprah? You

373
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: get a you get a car. You get a car.

374
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: Now you get a double. You get a double, you

375
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: get a double, you all get doubles. Yeah, story, You know,

376
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: simply having these bats, the lineup is much deeper than

377
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: what it was last year. It felt like every time

378
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: last year, you know, you had something going, it just

379
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: ended right because you didn't have enough bats in the lineup.

380
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: And definitely a different feeling. Right now, Let's get to

381
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: it here. Let's get to it here. We're gonna start

382
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: off with the offense or you know, or should we

383
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,199
Speaker 1: you know? No, let me go to Hunter Dobbins. Let

384
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: me go to Hunter Dobbins here really quick. Let's talk

385
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: about him a hundred Dobbins. You know, this is a

386
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: guy man. This when I interviewed him a month ago.

387
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: The sense that I got with Hunter Dobbins, this dude

388
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: is just out there, like just stone face competing, right

389
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: there is a guy where he really dials in. He's

390
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: a competitor, you can kind of get. I got that

391
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: sense at least when I was talking to him. Just

392
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: a guy that is business. You know, he just wants

393
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: to go out there and compete. And what I love

394
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: about that is he's not like Garrett crochet By any

395
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: means where he's pumping you know, upper nineties fast balls.

396
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, he's gonna have pretty decent velocity overall,

397
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,199
Speaker 1: which is something he did work on this past offseason.

398
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: But you know a guy that's gonna more work around

399
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: the zone. He's looking to throw some strikes, you know,

400
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: pitch the contact a little bit more. But I just

401
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: love the competitor that he is. Man Again, I got

402
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: that sense when I talked to him about a month ago.

403
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: He just has this sort of like a seriousness about him.

404
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: And he was out there working the night and you

405
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: gotta love that. Overall, though pretty solid day night, five

406
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: inch pitch, eight hits to earn five k's. Let's go

407
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: to the breakdown here over on stat cast. You know

408
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: I love my stat cast, and uh, here we go.

409
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: Let me expand the screen just a little bit. One

410
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: hundred dobbins here, as you can see here he went

411
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: with five pitches for tonight. He let with the fastball

412
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: thirty five percent worked in four of the pictures. Here

413
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: had the slider, curveball, sweeper and the sinker. Curveball and

414
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: the sinker got six whiffs each. The sinker is more.

415
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: They were talking about it during the broadcast like a splinker.

416
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: He has some pretty decent movement. Actually, do they have

417
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: the amount of movement? I don't think they let me

418
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: actually refresh the screen, because sometimes they'll put that vertical

419
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: movement on here. I don't think they did with him. Yeah,

420
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't see it here, but yeah, I see how

421
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: see how down here they have a chart for induced

422
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: vertical break. They don't have that with him, but it

423
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: will look like he was getting some pretty decent movement

424
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: on it. But overall he was getting swinging missus with

425
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: that and the curveball. He worked in the zone about

426
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: forty four percent of the time. League averages around forty

427
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: two percent of the time, so they went a little

428
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: higher than that. He got five groundouts. Again, a guy

429
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: that he is going to get some swinging misses along

430
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: the way. He's going to work to contact a little bit.

431
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: He's going to give you a good mix of everything.

432
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: This is a guy that I see he can be. Yeah,

433
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: I think he has that capability of maybe being a

434
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: mid rotation kind of a guy at some point. I

435
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: don't think he has the stuff necessarily unless he takes,

436
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: you know, a big step forward at some point. I

437
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: don't think he's necessarily an ace of a staff, but

438
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: a guy that you can depend on. Man. Really like

439
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: what Hunter Dobbins has been doing, not just here tonight,

440
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: but going back, you know, over you know, last year

441
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues. I mean, one good thing about

442
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Hunter Dobbins, He's not going to give up a lot

443
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: of long balls, at least as of right now. Last year,

444
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: I think you only give up two home runs in

445
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: the minor leagues. That's pretty crazy, that's an extremely low number.

446
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: But Hunter Dobbins give it up for him here tonight.

447
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: His parents were there. Pretty cool, you know. I always

448
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: get you know, kinda you know, what's the word I'm

449
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: looking for. That's not the right screen. Let's go back

450
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: over here. I don't think that's there. It is anytime

451
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: I might hear parents, you know, you know, when you

452
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: got someone making their debut, I always love that.

453
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: Man.

454
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: That's so cool to me. Good for Hunter Dobbins, good

455
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: for his family. But uh, here we go. Let's get

456
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: to the offense here. Also for the bullpen. I gotta

457
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: mention this as well. Someone asked me this and uh

458
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: this was actually in the Q and A I did

459
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: post on Twitter if you do want to get in

460
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: on that action. Go to my Twitter and got leave

461
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: a comment or a question. Someone asked me there, what

462
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: do I think is gonna happen with Cooper Qriswell? I

463
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: don't know, man, I feel like he's probably gonna, you know,

464
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: I either go to the miners or whatever. I probably

465
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: end up going to the miners honestly, or a DFA.

466
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: He's he got rocked here tonight, he was getting hit.

467
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: I think he will be one of the odd guys

468
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 1: out I could see. Honestly, It's gonna be interesting, you know,

469
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: because the Red Sox, do they want Dobbins to go

470
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: back and you know, keep getting starts. I would think

471
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: that's probably what they would want to do, or would

472
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: they want to keep him as the long reliever, you know,

473
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: or whatever. But then he got baog Alito coming back

474
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: as well, so I would imagine Cooper Criswell could be out.

475
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: Who knows when these guys come back. But yeah, Cooper,

476
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: I loved him last year, but he's getting hit pretty

477
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: good this year so far. All right, let's move on

478
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: to the offense here. Let's move on to the offense.

479
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of offense to get into. Ladies and gentlemen.

480
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: My goodness. I mean, let's just get through this first inning.

481
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: Raffi and Bragman getting it started with the bass hit.

482
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: Willier had the base hit to make it one nothing,

483
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: Roamy with the bass hit. Carlos Devias with a double.

484
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: In the second inning, there, Carlos Devias, man, I'm telling you,

485
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: like I noticed it. I noticed it in the couple

486
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: of games that Carlos Devas was playing. I believe the

487
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: first one was in Texas, the next one was in Baltimore.

488
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: There there's a different feeling with him in there. There's

489
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: something different the way he's approaching the at bats, the

490
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: way he is behind the plate, framing pitches. You know,

491
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: he's just giving you a little bit more. I was

492
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: talking to Time. I'm sorry, I don't mean to try

493
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: and toot my horn, but you know, I gotta you know,

494
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to ask for, you know, a round

495
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: of applause. I'm just saying. Talking with Tyler Millikan leading

496
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: up to the season, I asked Millican, you know, hey,

497
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 1: who are some guys that some under the raar guys

498
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 1: you have for this coming year. You know, he threw

499
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: out guys like Nick Sogard and whatnot. But my guy

500
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: was Carlos Nvas. I'm thinking like they brought this guy

501
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: in for a reason in the offseason because the defense

502
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: last year at the catcher position was not good. Also,

503
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: remember Ivon Herrera's name was coming up when it came

504
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: to Nolan Aronado trade rumors. So the fact that they

505
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: were looking if that was true, I don't know, I

506
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: think it. I don't know. I find it in interesting

507
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: that Ivon Herrera's name was coming up, whether it's you know,

508
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: who knows how true those rumors were, but I don't know. Man,

509
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: Like you saw with Wong last year, where the defense

510
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: was a little suspect, pretty good armed for the most part,

511
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: but the framing, the blocking weren't all that great, and

512
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: then the bat regressed in the second half. The bat

513
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: at ball data wasn't very good, you know, all of

514
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: his advanced metrics weren't very good, but he had a

515
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: very high batting average on balls in play. So you

516
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: saw regression with Connor Wong. And you know the fact

517
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: that they brought in neirvaias who you know, a guy

518
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: where you know, had some pretty decent scouting reports. Aaron

519
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: Boone was pretty high on him. That was always interesting

520
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: to me, and I remember I feel like they did

521
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 1: that in the pretty early going of the off season.

522
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: You got to watch out, you know, for teams when

523
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: they make these early moves in the off season, they

524
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: tend to fly under the radar a little bit. But

525
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: a lot of teams they try to get these kind

526
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: of moves done quick so they can get ahead of

527
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: these other teams, maybe trying to make a play, you know. So,

528
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, I always had this sense about Nervias,

529
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: you know, a young catcher, I don't know, man, And

530
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: you're starting to see it. You're starting to see the bat,

531
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: you know, do some things. But I just feel like

532
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: he offers a better overall game than Connor Wong, at

533
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: least as of right now. Listen, I think you're still

534
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 1: gonna see a bit of a mix there, but I

535
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: think you could see Nervas get more starts as we

536
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: go along here. But he had the double in the

537
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: second inning, said he had himself a pretty good day.

538
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: Hold on, I gotta get to the OSD offense. Here.

539
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 1: Where is the offense? It's not popping up on the screen.

540
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: Hold on, everybody, let me get let me go click

541
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: on that. For some reason, my buttons don't like to work.

542
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes there we go. But today, Raphael a pretty good day.

543
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: Three for four two RBIs at least I did I

544
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: have that? Or did I forget to update that? I

545
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: probably forgot to update that, didn't I did I forget

546
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 1: to update that? Hold on, let me let me go,

547
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: let me double check, double check. Hold on a second.

548
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna want to make sure I'm giving

549
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: the correct numbers. Yes, he was three for four two RBIs,

550
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: three for four to two RBIs. But SETI many, pretty

551
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: good deck, pretty good deck.

552
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

553
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: That made it two to one with his base hit.

554
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: Bregman Uh with the double there in the second inning.

555
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: This is really where the noise started to pick up.

556
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: Bregman with that double, I tweeted out saying like, this

557
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: is what I envisioned with Alex Bregman. You know, Yeah, sure,

558
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: some home runs, that's nice, But I think the sweet

559
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: spot for Alex Bregman is playing wall ball. That was

560
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: what I see the majority of Bregman doing for the

561
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, for as long as he's with the Red Sox,

562
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, playing with that monster. That to me is

563
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: the sweet spot for him, but that double made it

564
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: four to one. Will youer stayed hot with the double

565
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: of his own that made it six to one. Third

566
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: inning set he with his second base hit, stealing second base.

567
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: Duran with the bass hit made a seven to one,

568
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: and then Bregman with a big home run. Yeah, you know,

569
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: sure I envisioned that wall ball a lot, but yeah,

570
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna sprinkle in some homers for Bregman along the way.

571
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: He's always said, well at Famway Park. You know, you

572
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: go back to the offseason, you think about the teams

573
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: that were in the mix for Bregman, the Red Sox obviously,

574
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: the Cubs, the Tigers, but when you looked at the numbers, man,

575
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: I know Bregman. He said to Jared Kravas that he

576
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: would hit fine anywhere. But dude, when you look at

577
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: the bat of ball metrics, when you look at the stats,

578
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: Famway Park was so perfect for him, so perfect for him.

579
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: It just love it, love it. That homer made a

580
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: ten to one in the fifth inning, Duran. Duran had

581
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: himself a pretty good day too, three for five with

582
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: the double, two RBIs, and I think he is that

583
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: guy when you know, if you go back over the

584
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: first few games. This is the guy where he he is.

585
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: He was making good contact but getting a little unlucky.

586
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: I think at some times, you know, you felt like

587
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: Duran wasn't fully busting through like you saw it was there,

588
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: but he just wasn't getting some balls dropping. And uh,

589
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, you see what happens when Duran is hot

590
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: and he gets started, he really gets that lineup going.

591
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: And then Raffi just a freaking laser shot of a double.

592
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be gone. That scored Duran,

593
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: and they just kept batting on. At that point, six inning,

594
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: you scored five runs. Trevor Story with a double, Narvaias

595
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: with another double that made it twelve to two. Duran

596
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: picking up another base hit there made it thirteen to two.

597
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: Raffi was I believe, I can't remember it was the

598
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: It was so many hits tonight, it's so hard to

599
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: keep track of whatever. The absolute rocket that Raffi hit,

600
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: I can't remember. That was the fifth of the sixth inning.

601
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: That actually might have been the sixth inning. That made

602
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: it fifteen to two. Bragman with another double sixteen to two.

603
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: Why not add on a couple of more, you know,

604
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: you got a couple more runs in the seventh there

605
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: Roamy with the base hit, Nervaias getting a walk, had

606
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: the pass ball said he got him in with a

607
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: base hit. Eighteen to two. Yeah, you get the point.

608
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: A lot of hits, a lot of runs, just a

609
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: lot of fun here at Femway Park here tonight and

610
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: just all day. Just a great day, a great weekend.

611
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: The Red Sox moved to six and four. This team, Man, again,

612
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: I saw it with the Rangers. You saw this team battling,

613
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: and you just felt like those bats just weren't fully

614
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: breaking through. You saw them work in the counts, you

615
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: saw them coming up short in a couple of spots.

616
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: You had those runners in scoring position, they weren't fully

617
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: able to capitalize. But you knew it was gonna happen.

618
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: And it has. And I'm not saying they're gonna score

619
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: eighteen runs every single game, but I'm just saying, you

620
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: can see what this lineup's doing. And I don't care

621
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: if it's the Cardinals, I don't care if it's Miles

622
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: and Michaelis. You know, yeah, you're not gonna were eighteen runs,

623
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: you know, But again, you should be putting on some

624
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: good offense against the guy like Michaelis, you know, and

625
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: the Cardinals right pretty pumped up, pretty pumped up about

626
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Right now, things are looking pretty good.

627
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: Things are looking pretty good here. But uh, moving on here.

628
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: You know, hey, listen, we've got a lot of season left. Everybody,

629
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: we got We've got a lot of season left. Let's

630
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: actually go to the upcoming series. Listen, there is no

631
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: time for breaks. I don't know if anyone's checked out

632
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: the schedule. We don't got a day off for like

633
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: another ten days. I mean, we are really gonna be

634
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: shugging along here. Let's go take a look. We got

635
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 1: Richard fitz back on the mound against I believe Easton

636
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: Lucas and you know, not really a whole lot. I mean,

637
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't really have a whole lot of major league

638
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: experience up to this point. Same with fits so I

639
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty interesting battle. The Blue Jay is

640
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: coming off of a sweep against the Mets. Listen, coming

641
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: into this year, man, I wasn't I don't know, I

642
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: wasn't too high on the Blue Jays to be completely honest.

643
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, could be wrong. I mean I

644
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: am wrong a lot let's see what happens with you know,

645
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: vlag Junior. He's been in the news the last couple

646
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: of days. It looks like there could be some progress

647
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: towards a big extension for Vlad. I know there was,

648
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, a deadline for spring training. But these deadlines

649
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: are so hooplah. I mean, they just really are. You know,

650
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: you had the Gayrett Crochet opening day deadline, Vlad with

651
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: his deadline. You know, deadlines, shmdlines like they don't exist.

652
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's all leverage at the end of the day.

653
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: So we'll see. You know, the Blue Jays they should

654
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: be signing Blag Junior long term. This is what you

655
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: should be doing with your star players. You know, this

656
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: is what the Nationals you know who knows, you know

657
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: want Soda was game. But you know, again, if a

658
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: player is willing to stay, this is what you should

659
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: be doing. It's a no brainer. Now Sodo with the Nationals.

660
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how motivated that he was to stay

661
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: with the Nationals. But again, if a player is showing

662
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: interest in staying long term, get the deal done. Quit

663
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: being cute trying to you know, negotiate. You know, it's like,

664
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: I know, negotiations have to happen. I get that, but

665
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 1: it's like, come on, get a deal done if you're

666
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. But if they don't, could get interesting,

667
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: could get interesting for the Red Sox. But then and

668
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, if the Blue Jays do get an extinction done,

669
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: you got to look back at you know, when Bob

670
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 1: Nightingale was putting out there that you know, Vlad would

671
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: love to play in Boston. So if they do get

672
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: an extinction done, I think it's fair to say that

673
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: you could look back on that report and say, well,

674
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: that was leverage. You know, he's putting that out there,

675
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, to try and get the Blue Jays to

676
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: get going a little bit right, because you know, you're seeing,

677
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 1: you know, the Blue Jays they see this report from

678
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: Bob Nightingale saying you'd like to play for the Red Sox. Well,

679
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: if you know the Blue Jays, that's like your worst

680
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: nightmare because you're losing your best player to a team

681
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: in the division. So it's like, so, if that does

682
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 1: get done, that was probably leverage at the end of

683
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: the day. But for the Blue Jays against Richard Fits

684
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: not really a whole lot of experience. You know, he

685
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: got a few abs, but again interesting Maxhup. A couple

686
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: of guys that are you know, really getting their you know,

687
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: their feet wet here in Major League Baseball, but excited

688
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: for this. If we were to go take a look

689
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: at the other maxhups. Jose Barrios against Garrett Crochet. Barrios

690
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: he's gotten lit up a little bit in the in

691
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: his first couple of starts. Uh. Crochet, he looked very

692
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: good his last time out against Baltimore. And then Kevin

693
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: Gosman Tanner how Kevin Gosman. Look out for Gosman Man. Uh,

694
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: this guy has always lit up the Red Sox. You

695
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: go back to the last couple of years, he has just

696
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: had their number. But this is a different lineup. We

697
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: all saw what happened tonight Tanner Houck, you're looking for

698
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: a little bit more consistent and see there, So let's

699
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: see what happens with him his next time out. And

700
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: then uh, then you got Chris Bassett Walker Buehller. You know,

701
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: a couple of interesting or I'd say that's an interesting

702
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: match show. You got a couple of interesting storylines with

703
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 1: those two where they're kind of going opposite ways. Chris

704
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: Bassett has looked very good in the early going so far.

705
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: But Walker Bueller is still trying to find his way.

706
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: He still trying to find a game plan that works

707
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: for him. So that'll be an interesting matchup at Themway Park.

708
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: So but in my opinion, not trying to be biased.

709
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm always trying to be down the middle as much

710
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: as possible. This is a series that the Red Sox

711
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: should win with how hot they are. I'm not very

712
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: high on the Blue Jays, but you know, with the

713
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, they're always gonna be a tough match up.

714
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: They're gonna give you all the fits. You know, they're

715
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna They're always gonna be a tough team to beat.

716
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: But I think this is a series the Red Sox

717
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: at least should split. At least I think three out

718
00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: of four should be attainable, right, and then you got

719
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: the White Sox up after that. Man, oh man, oh man.

720
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 1: But let's get to some Q and A, shall we

721
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 1: Let's get to some Q and A. After every series,

722
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm always going to look at some questions or comments

723
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: that you leave me over on Twitter. So here we go.

724
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: We got I think I answered this a little bit

725
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: in the early going of the show and let's share

726
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: the screen here from Bradley. Bradley, I think you might

727
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: have been at the game tonight. I think you tweeted that.

728
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,959
Speaker 1: I can't remember if you said you were at the game.

729
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: But do you think Dottie should stay, stay up and

730
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: send maybe newcomer Criswell down? I think newcomb. I feel

731
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: like there's a good chance he'll accept a minor league

732
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: you know, assignment or however that works. I could see

733
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: him going down then again, you know, maybe he feels

734
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: like he looked pretty good his last star. I feel

735
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: like his time with the Red Sox is pretty much

736
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: up at some point here in the near future, whenever

737
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: these guys come back. Chriswell, I could see him going

738
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,840
Speaker 1: down to It just depends on what the Red Sox

739
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: want to do. Do they want Hunter Dobbins to stay

740
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: on a routine getting starts, or do they want to

741
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: keep him at the major league level and like a

742
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: long relief role. I think it comes down to what

743
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: do the Red Sox want to do, you know, developmental wise,

744
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, do they feel like he can develop well

745
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: as a guy that you know, more of a long

746
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: reliever or do they see him as more of like

747
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: a spot starter at this point, We'll see, especially you know,

748
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: with guys coming back like BeO gi Alito, I feel

749
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: like he probably just gets sent back down. He you know,

750
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: he's still got a lot of options left, and then

751
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, he probably don't see him until a little

752
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: way down the road, right, That's what I think personally.

753
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: But Chriswell, I could definitely see Criswell going down. That's

754
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. What do we got here, Tanner? What

755
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: do we got Tanner to? Are you shocked by the

756
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: amount of runs we put up in two out of

757
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: three games? Could this have been the series they woke

758
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: the bats up against the team in full momentum? I mean,

759
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm always a little there's always a little bit of

760
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: a sense of shock. When you're putting up eighteen runs.

761
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: It's like, whoa, that's a that's a crapload. But you know,

762
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: the Cardinals again, Like I know, people are saying, oh,

763
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: the Red Sox are playing the Cardinals, what do you expect?

764
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: But the Cardinals are not a bad team. Michaelis has

765
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: definitely had his issues over the last couple of years,

766
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: but still, you know, but I think it's a combination

767
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals, you know, just not great overall, and

768
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they've really just clicked over the last

769
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: few games. I'm telling you, I think that day off

770
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: really did a whole lot of good for those guys.

771
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: I've mentioned it before, traveling going to Mexico, going straight

772
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: to Texas, you know, a lot of moving around for them,

773
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: and they remember they went to they went straight to

774
00:39:54,520 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore after Texas. So yeah, you know, I think some

775
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: thing's clicking for the Red Sox right now. So a

776
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 1: little bit of always a little bit of shock. What

777
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: have we got, James, James, you got a long comment here?

778
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: What do we got? This lineup is so legit and

779
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,399
Speaker 1: deep a brak. You're starting the season on a tear

780
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: lengthens it even more. Game one today is kind of

781
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: the kind of game good teams win. Yeah, I agree. Again,

782
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have every game scoring eighteen runs. You know,

783
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: there's gonna be games where you're just dying to score

784
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 1: a run. You get, get a run across the board,

785
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: the good teams prevail. That's the huge difference with the

786
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: Red Sox that I've seen so far compared to the

787
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 1: last few years. There's there's so much more fight with

788
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: this team. Even when they're ahead, they still keep going right. Uh,

789
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 1: it could be a sign of a special season. Devers

790
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: is beyond back, Regman is rolling the Red Sox flat out.

791
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 1: Rake and the vibes of sky high vibes is a

792
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 1: good ward. Vibes is a good word. Absolutely completely agree.

793
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: What have we got here? Yeah? Justin I like this one.

794
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: I like this one. Helsley looked electric at Femway. Do

795
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: you think the Socks look his way at the deadline

796
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: and what are probable packages? You know, it's funny when

797
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: he was on the mound here today, I couldn't help

798
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: but think, you know, could this be a guy that

799
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe the Red Sox. You know Craig Breslow, you know,

800
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 1: he kind of maybe put his things down for a

801
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: second and he was paying close attention to Ryan Helsley.

802
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: You never know, you know how the Red Sox bullpen

803
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: is going to be looking at the deadline. But could

804
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: Hellsley be a guy the Red Sox and the Cardinals

805
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 1: They have talked obviously, Aaron outum so, who knows, maybe

806
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: even Helsley came up and talks. I don't know, but yeah,

807
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: I could definitely see the Red Sox looking towards him.

808
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy, man, he just he

809
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: lost his control a little bit. I don't know. It

810
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: was a little wet out today in Game one. I

811
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: don't know if that was causing him in any issues.

812
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: This guy's one of the most dominant closers in the

813
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: game the last couple of years, So who knows. Could

814
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: that have been a preview of hell? Maybe as a

815
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: Red Sock. H We'll take a look. What do we got?

816
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: What do we got? Let's see b Lamont's what do

817
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: we got here? My friend? What do we get?

818
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 3: Uh?

819
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: You can choose any young player in baseball aside from

820
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:22,240
Speaker 1: Paul Skeins and Bobby Witt, all things considered, age, position,

821
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: contract status. Who do you pick your team to start

822
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: with him? Why is Christian Campbell already top three? I mean, god,

823
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 1: there is. I mean, there's so many guys that you

824
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: can pick from. I mean, if I'm thinking off the

825
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: top of my head, you know again, I'm I'm a

826
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: guy that needs to like look at numbers and whatnot.

827
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: I'm a big Corbyn Carroll fan. I mean, I just

828
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: freaking love that guy's game. I love the speed that

829
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: he has I do like me some Corbyn Carroll, you know.

830
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: But if I'm looking at you know, Christian Campbell, I

831
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: mean I think he is absolutely a candidate that you

832
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: could build a team around, you know, even Roman Anthony.

833
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: I think one of those two would be fine guys

834
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: to start a team around.

835
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 3: There.

836
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: To me, I don't know, I'm a I'm a big

837
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: Corbyn Carrol fan. Personally, I like that, you know, Julio Rodriguez.

838
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: There's another one I could see that personally, Gunner Henderson.

839
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: If you want to build around a short stop, that's

840
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: always a good way to go, you know. Shortstops, I

841
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: think tend to be the best position to go with

842
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: when it comes to building a team. Usually that's what

843
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: teams build around. I'd probably go that route, honestly, But uh,

844
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: any one of those guys I think would be good.

845
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: Any one of those guys. All right, let's take a

846
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: look at a couple more. Here, take a look at

847
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: a couple more. What do we got? I'll do one more? Yeah,

848
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, and I talked about this a little bit ago.

849
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,280
Speaker 1: Need to sort of need to see more of Carlos

850
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: Deavis both offensively and defensively. Is just a better player

851
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 1: than Connor wong Is, says Jake, Yeah, I agree. I again,

852
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't think fully lean into that. You know, kind

853
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: of work your way there. You know, see if you

854
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: know Wong, see if you can do a little bit more.

855
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,760
Speaker 1: You know, That's what I do think the Red Sox

856
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: are going to do eventually. I feel like you're gonna

857
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: see Nevias start to get the bulk of the starts

858
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: because I think there's just more ceiling there. Honestly, no

859
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: offense to Wong. That's kind of just the way I

860
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: look at it, really, but uh, everybody, I think I'm

861
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: gonna wrap it up right there. I see a lot

862
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: of you in the chat Bay Socks bombs their Bias

863
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: should take over as a starting catcher. I'm telling you, man,

864
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to say I was

865
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: like the first one to say it, but I feel like,

866
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: go back before the season started, no one was talking

867
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: about Nervias, and I was like, hello, like this guy's

868
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: on our team. Does anyone see this guy? It's pretty good?

869
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: What else we got here? Marco Scuterro. I don't know why,

870
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: but watching Sean Newcomb reminds me of Rich Hill. Rick Hill.

871
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: That's just a different that's a whole different experience. Man,

872
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: the Rich Hill experience. That's a fine one. That's a

873
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: fine one. Patricia Orlando, keep it going against the Blue Jays,

874
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: ghost Socks, Boston Strong. Yeah, you know, hey, another thing

875
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: about the Blue Jays. Obviously a division matshup. You don't

876
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: know what the division is gonna be looking like. You

877
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 1: gotta take advantage of these games. And with how hot

878
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: the Red Sox are, I expect him to come out swinging.

879
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: I think they're they're gonna be. And Cora, he has

880
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about the Blue Jays, if my

881
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: memory serves me correctly, he likes a lot of the

882
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: guys on that team. So I think Cora is gonna

883
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 1: be going into this series. He's gonna be well prepared.

884
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: So what have we got, Jorgan? I know you touched

885
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: on it in a previous video. But Raffi's chase rate

886
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: and approach at the plate, even through his slump, has

887
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: been less than half of what he's done in his career.

888
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: Can he maintain this? Well, let's actually go take a

889
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: look here. It's it's so funny because when you look

890
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: at Raffi, when you look at his stats right now,

891
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: it's actually like pretty funny. Hold on, let me pull up,

892
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: let me pull up the stats here, because when you

893
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: saw what he was doing in that the first five

894
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: or six games or whatever it was, I mean, the

895
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: numbers were terrible. He was batting like like zero basically.

896
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: But now you look at the numbers here, and all

897
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: of a sudden, his slash line is looking pretty good.

898
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: He's hit in two sixty three, he's got a four

899
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: h four on base I think that's slugging is still

900
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: you know, four twenty one. But man, these numbers are

901
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: like night and day with what he was doing in

902
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: the first few games. They're crazy, crazy, crazy. But let's

903
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: take a look at the stats here. Obviously, you know, yeah,

904
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: he got off to the pretty bad start the fifth percentage, uh,

905
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 1: but again that's I'm not really looking at this very much,

906
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: you know what i mean, because it's like the guy

907
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: basically had half a spring training, you know, and obviously

908
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 1: not just that, but he had injuries and whatnot, and

909
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: he was working back from through this offseason, so he

910
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: was behind, right. But yeah, the chase rate very good.

911
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: You know, if you take a look at the chase

912
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: rate from last year, it was very low. But that

913
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: is something with Raffi. You are noticing a huge difference there.

914
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: He's taking more pitches. I don't see why not. Raffi's

915
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: always been a guy man where you see the talent

916
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: with what he does with the bat, But then you

917
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: take a look, you know, you go back to twenty

918
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,839
Speaker 1: twenty three, chase rate was kind of low. Still low

919
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: in twenty four, still low in twenty two. You know, yeah,

920
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 1: we all know what he can do, but there's always

921
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: things you can get better at. So maybe this is

922
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: something that Raffi was you know, really focusing on. You know,

923
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: maybe that's maybe a little something this past offseason that

924
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: he was thinking about, right, But either way, it's a

925
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: good sign. I think based off of history, I think

926
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: you could see that come down a little bit. But

927
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: may the fact that he's looking a lot better, he's

928
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: taking so many more pitches, you know, maybe that was

929
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: also kind of getting into his early season slump. You know,

930
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe he was kind of overthinking things a little bit.

931
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: You know, maybe just the pitch selection was kind of

932
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: messing him up a little bit. And it's because you

933
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: saw him behind on so many pitches, So maybe that

934
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: could have gotten in the way as well, you know,

935
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: a bit of a perfect storm kind of a thing.

936
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: But he he's still looking good with the battle ball

937
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: metrics obviously walking along. I don't see why it couldn't

938
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 1: be better because this has been an area that he

939
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: has needed to improve in for a while. So hey,

940
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: if that gets better this year, we could end up

941
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: seeing the best Rafiel devers of all time. And you

942
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: got all the time in the world to work on this,

943
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: because you're a DH. I'm just saying, I'm telling you,

944
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: I think Raffi this year, man, Dh. I am so

945
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: excited to see what his numbers look like at the

946
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: end of the year. He's fully healthy and he's just

947
00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: focusing on the hitting. Imagine what this guy can do.

948
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: Man oh man, But everybody, I'm gonna wrap it up

949
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: right there. I'm gonna wrap it up right there. I

950
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: got well, I'll take one more here. Do you think

951
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: the Red Sox moves to Dame Rafaela to a bench

952
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: roll and call up Roman Anthony. You know, SETI I

953
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: think the big thing with Rafaela, man, it's the plate discipline.

954
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: You're seeing the walk percentage. It's again, it is very early. However,

955
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,560
Speaker 1: he has increased his walk percentage. It was two point

956
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: six percent last year. I think that was the lowest

957
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, and he's gotten it up almost

958
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 1: about five percent. It's still not amazing, but it's definitely different. However,

959
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: he's still chasing a lot. Look at that one percent,

960
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 1: the one percentile right there with SETI fifty five percent

961
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: chase rate. Right now, he's got a I don't know, man,

962
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Can you fix that

963
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: at this point going up against major league pitching. I mean,

964
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure he can maybe get a little better over

965
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: the course of time, but at this point, with how

966
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: bad it looked last year and it's still not looking great,

967
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is going to be an

968
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: over an overnight fix. I feel like this is something

969
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: that it's gonna take him a while to really have to,

970
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, get this up. But I think right now,

971
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: I mean, if Willier keeps up what he's doing, there's

972
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: no way you take him out. There's no way I

973
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: think you would have to. If you call Roman up,

974
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 1: I think Duran is in center field, Anthony isn't left,

975
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: or you kind of go back and forth with the

976
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: two however Korra wants to do it on certain days.

977
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: I know Duran, you know, he was pretty comfortable out

978
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: in the left field, but he can handle centerfield as well.

979
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: Had pretty good numbers out there last not pretty good,

980
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: very good numbers out in center field last year. So yeah,

981
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think Seti would be the odd man out.

982
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 1: It's just kind of it's interesting because he is getting

983
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: paid more. You know, he's not getting paid a ton

984
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: and he's getting paid like what five to six million

985
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: a year. If they're able to keep him in the lineup,

986
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: whether or not it's a guy getting a day off

987
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: or whatever matchups, you know, then yeah, I think that's fine.

988
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 1: But like, if this is a guy that just goes

989
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: to the bench, I don't know. From my point of view,

990
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 1: it's not my money. But do the Red Sox want

991
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 1: to be paying six million bucks every year, you know

992
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 1: for a guy that's on the bench. So I think

993
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: the Red Sox if that ends up being the route

994
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: they go, I think you still find Seti making his

995
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 1: way into the lineup at least on a part time basis,

996
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: like a few times a week. But again, do the

997
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: Red Sox want to pay that money? You know, for

998
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: that amount of playing time, it comes down to what

999
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: they want to do. I don't know, we'll see, you know.

1000
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: And then you also think about the fact that the

1001
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: Red Sox that you know, Craig Breslo, he said that

1002
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: that he envisioned the Sadai Rafaela in center field. So

1003
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: it's interesting that is I think that is an interesting

1004
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: storyline coming into the year. I was saying, will You're bright,

1005
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: you was gonna end up, you know, being the odd

1006
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: man out. I was scared to death of all the

1007
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: time he missed.

1008
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 2: I was.

1009
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: It looked like, you know, Roman Anthony, with the way

1010
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: he was looking in spring, it looked like you were

1011
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: heading that way. And all of a sudden, will you're

1012
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: brek you? He gave me the giant middle finger and

1013
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: he said, Robbie, ah no, you don't even know. I'm

1014
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: not even in my final form, and I apologize for that.

1015
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious, this guy is just on an absolute tear.

1016
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: There's no way you take Will You're out? Absolutely not Bassetti,

1017
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 1: maybe everybody, I'm out of here. I'm gonna wrap it

1018

Speaker 1: up right there. Thank you so much. We had a
