WEBVTT - Red Sox Fall Short & More Trade Rumors | Postgame Reaction #106

0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Boss the territory, ladies and gentlemen. Red Sox

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>lose unfortunately final score four to three. Record at fifty

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>five and fifty one. Today, I would say is uh,

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.680
<v Speaker 1>this has been probably one of the worst days in

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.439
<v Speaker 1>a while if you're a Red Sox fan. We had

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the terrible news of Curtis Mead today, two abs into

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>his Red Sox career and he fractures his wrist or

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>going on the IL with a wrist fracture. Return indefinite.

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Who knows how long that's gonna take, but yeah, when

0:00:42.800 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 1>you got a broken risk, that's gonna take you a

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>little while. He had the same injury back in twenty

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty three. Believe that took him around sixty days to

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 1>get back. So if that were a similar timetable, you're

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>probably looking like right at the end of the season,

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the postseason. Of course you got to make

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>it there first. But obviously awful news with that here today.

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I've already touched on that a little bit here. Chris

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Katillo joined the show for about ten minutes earlier today.

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>If you want to go see that, go listen about that.

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.119
<v Speaker 1>That is available to you. It's in the video section

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>here on this channel. It was not a live it

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>was just a regular video. So yeah, we talked about

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>it there. We talked about possible plans for the trade

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 1>deadline coming up, so again listen to Chris Katillo's thoughts

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>on that. But yeah, I'm just touching on it real quick.

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>It's obviously terrible. I mean, how unlucky can you get?

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, how unlucky can you get? It's very unfortunate.

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.199
<v Speaker 1>But what do the Red Sox do from here? Again,

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>did talk about it with Chris Katillo. I'm gonna give

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you some of my thoughts here tonight. We're also going

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to try and get through this a little quicker here tonight.

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>It's very late. I'm very tired. I feel like I'm

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>running on fumes right now, but I'm getting that adrenaline.

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about it. We'll go over this game here

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>very quick. You had a good pitching matchup coming into today,

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Gay Jump. Sure, he's been struggling as of late, but

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>a very talented young lefty in the game. And you

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>saw that first hand here tonight, going up against another

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>very talented young lefty in the game, Jake Bennett, who

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>we've had the pleasure of watching. And he did great

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>here tonight. Pretty much one bad pitch for him here

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>tonight in the seventh inning, Brian servhim with a home run.

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Did him in the Red Sox had a chance there

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>in the ninth Connor Wong he was due for a

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>long dong. He actually he got one, and hey, you

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>know what if if you feel like you're struggling for

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 1>a home run, go to Sacramento and try to get one.

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>And he did there tonight. Hey, you brought the Red

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Sox within a run. Unfortunately close but no cigar, but

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>gay jump. Hey, tip of the cap to him tonight

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>he did very well. But Bennett, he did have a

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>good night. Lots of pitching to contact as usual as

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:52.959
<v Speaker 1>we've seen with him. The villa was actually up a

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit here tonight, feeling pretty good. He was throwing

0:02:55.560 --> 0:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>strikes getting weak contact. If you were to maybe look

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>at it from an analytical point of view, you know,

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 1>I know, we all we love looking at the analytics, right,

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>but couldn't you have maybe argued after six innings his

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>picture count was on the lower side. I'm all four

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>guys trying to go deeper into the game. But if

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>you were to have an analytical look at it. Couldn't

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.359
<v Speaker 1>you have maybe taken him out there instead of having

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:26.359
<v Speaker 1>him go up against Boltay for a third time. Who

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>was really seeing him well tonight, And you know, he

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>got it started there in the seventh, you know, and

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that ended up leading the home run. So, you know, bullpen,

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>they did use a bit of it last night. Again,

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it was okay leaving Bennett in. He was

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the pitch count was low, but you know, you kind

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>of wonder if you maybe could have gone a different

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>route there to start the seventh inning. It is what

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>it is, But yeah, a couple of guys were really

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>getting to Bennett here tonight. Boltay White again serve him

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>with the home run, but then Jump, you know, you

0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.120
<v Speaker 1>couldn't really get anything going against him. You know, in

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the first you were moving a little bit against him,

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>but we weren't able to capitalize. He ended up settling

0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>in gauge. Jump is nasty. He really struggled the last

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>few starts, last four or five starts coming in. But

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>this is a guy you saw at firsthand here tonight.

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Very good deception. He's got a bit of like a

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 1>short arm motion. He hides the ball really well. So

0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>he's very tough to pick up. He's got good life

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 1>on his fastball, not a lot of extension, but he

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>just gets some good carry on it. He's got a

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>good slider. He was getting a ton of swing and

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>miss here tonight. When he has his control. He did

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>walk a few guys here tonight. But when he's got

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>the control right, he's very tough to pick up. And again,

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>you saw that here tonight. So we'll go over it.

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about Jake Bennett, we'll talk about the lack

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 1>of offense, we'll talk about that late run, and we'll

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 1>talk about some trade news for this one. If you

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 1>count everybody, it is late. So all I ask just

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>hit that like button for me. It really helps out

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.400
<v Speaker 1>with the algorithm. We got members here, Paul Roberts, what's

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.479
<v Speaker 1>going on? How we do it? Don't do it? Is here?

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 1>How we doing buttered sausages? Here? How you doing? Hello? Hello?

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>What's going on? Everybody? What's going on? Let's move on,

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>ladies and gentlemen, here we go. Let's get to you know,

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>let's start off with the offense here. I mean, like

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 1>I said, here, like I said, just you just had

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a really tough time. Really give me one second here

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 1>making sure we're all set, all right, okay, but yeah,

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you just had a really tough time against gay Jump

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>here tonight. First inning, Jami Jones with the double, Wilson

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>with walk. See you had something going, but then row

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 1>me with a ground out, row me, you know, not

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>an amazing night for Romei here tonight. We'll get to

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>another unfortunate event later in the game, but row me

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 1>with a groundout, and then will you're with a double play.

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Second inning. You know, Durbin had a base hit, he

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>stole second to get in a score position. But Seti's

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>striking out swinging. Moda did have a walk, but then

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Duran ner Bias striking out. Third and the fourth inning,

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.640
<v Speaker 1>all six batters get sat down. Fifth inning, Duran with

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a bass hit, but then he gets picked off. Monasterio

0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Jones striking out six inning. Romey Wilson's striking out Jump

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 1>was just very effective here tonight. He walked a few

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 1>guys six innings, three hits, four walks, but he had

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>seven strikeouts. He was doing really well here tonight. He

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>was doing really well. And then seventh thinning, Medina came

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in from the bullpen, said he had a base hit

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Durban with a sack bunt, moves Seti over to second base,

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>but nothing after that. We'll get back to the eighth

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and the ninth in just a second. But let's talk

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 1>about Jake Bennett. You know again, like I said, you know,

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of more of the same for Bette.

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's as simple as they come. He had

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a one two three first inning. Second inning, you know,

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.600
<v Speaker 1>White had the bass hit Thomas with a sack bunt,

0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.840
<v Speaker 1>moves him over to second base. Boltay with the RBI

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.919
<v Speaker 1>bass hit absolutely hammered at one hundred twelve miles an

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>hour off the bat to center field. Made it one

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 1>nothing in the third and the fourth inning, he went

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>on a set down the next six of the next

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>seven batters. Fifth inning, he worked around a Boltay base

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>hit in a steal. He struck out Servant on a

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>fastball up and in. Again. You know, that's what we've

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>seen with Bennett. He works up with the fastballs, he

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>works low with the change ups, very simple. He mixes

0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>in some breaking pictures here and there. So he was

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>looking really good. Here six inning, he strikes out Kurtz

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>on a fastball up and away. It did get challenged.

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.200
<v Speaker 1>He won the challenge, struck out soda straw on a

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>very nice change up. So he looked good here through six.

0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>But then again, you know, could you have gone a

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>different route maybe for the seventh inning. You know, I'm

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.240
<v Speaker 1>okay with Bennett going on for the seventh, but Boltay

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>gets on again, who had been a tough ab for

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Bennett here tonight, and then serve him with a home

0:07:58.600 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 1>run makes a nothing and uh, he sat on it.

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>And this is one of those where the simplicity can

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>come back to bite you. But this is what has

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>made Bennett so effective because he he executes even though

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>yeah he's going fastball up, change up down, he locates

0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>really well, all right, he executes his pitches very well.

0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Here the fastball just wasn't up enough. But then it

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.200
<v Speaker 1>was also you know again the sequence he goes, change

0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>up down, fastball up, change up down, and then the

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.679
<v Speaker 1>four seamer just not up enough. So you gotta be

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.200
<v Speaker 1>able to execute those pitches when you have such a

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>simple approach, and serve him just sat on it, sat

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>on it. But in the end, Jake Bennett, I feel

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>like had himself a good night enough to win the

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>game here tonight six and a third, six hits, three earned,

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.719
<v Speaker 1>four strikeouts, two walks. Like the usual, he saw a

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of four seamers, saw a lot of change ups,

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 1>saw some sinkers. I do you know, I do kind

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>of want Bennett to start working in a few more

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>breaking picks. He'll work in like a few of them,

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, he'll mix in the cutters and the sinkers.

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>But I would like to see some breaking pictures just

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to you know, just to you know, get a little

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.680
<v Speaker 1>bit more variety, right, listen, I love me a fastball changeup, combo.

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I like, I like working in some different looks on

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the fastball. But if you can get some breaking pictures going,

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that that'll just make him even better. Right,

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 1>he's been so good. But getting back to the offense here,

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 1>getting back to the offense. Now, you had something cooking

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>here in the eighth inning mass with the bass hit

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Segler with a walk, but then romy with double play.

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>You know it's that completely just ruined that momentum. Just

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 1>uh yeah, that was a momentum killer right there. Romie

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:48.800
<v Speaker 1>not having a good night. But then you keep it

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>going here Wilson with a walk. Will you're with the

0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 1>base hit. It makes it three to one off the lefty.

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>But then Seti's striking out. Not a good night for Seti.

0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Ninth inning, Durbhom with a strikeout out. But then Duram

0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 1>with the bass hit Monasterio with a k and here

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>comes mister Connor Wong let off with a single.

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 2>And now Wong rockets one left field to the wall

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 2>and Dine the Red Socks are within a run on

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 2>a laser from Connor Wong. First pitch swinging here for Connor,

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.440
<v Speaker 2>he just jumped all over this fastballs Harrisman hitting that

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:29.680
<v Speaker 2>spot down and in barreled this ball in the line.

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>The only question was what's going to be high enough?

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Connor Wong hit this one on the screws

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:40.440
<v Speaker 1>one hundred ten miles an hour, absolutely nailed it. Also,

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I forgot to say this yesterday. Mike Minaco in the booth.

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>This guy's great. He is awesome. You know, Dave O'Brien,

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 1>you know that's uh, you know that that is his job.

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>But if there is a next man up, man, oh man,

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get Mike Monaco in there. Man. He is

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 1>so good, so good. I can't even explain it. It

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 1>just he just sounds right, he feels right. He just

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 1>has like a you know, just a good voice throughout

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the game. But then he really pumps up the energy

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>on those kind of moments. I really love that. But

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately after that, Siegler, he had a pretty hard hit

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 1>ball ninety eight miles an hour off the bat out

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 1>to deep left center. There's not enough power warning track

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 1>power in that end of the game. Uh, you know Bullpen,

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 1>you know Moran Watson. You know, Watson ended up giving

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:37.960
<v Speaker 1>up another another RBI double to Lawrence Butler in the

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>AH thing. So I ended up being some really good

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:43.839
<v Speaker 1>insurance for the A's. Again. You know, if you if

0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't, if you, if you don't give that up,

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.439
<v Speaker 1>then you're looking at possibly a high game in the

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>ninth inning. So it is what it is I see

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>in the chat. Don't do it Duran picked off? Yeah,

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you know Duran, he there's this times man where but

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 1>again jump, he's one of these guys that he he's

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a really deceptive dude, really deceptive in a way. Like

0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't like making these comparisons. I don't. I don't

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>think it's fair, but I like to have fun with it.

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 1>He this isn't the best way to put it, but like,

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's more of like a feel thing

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 1>he kinda in a way sort of yeah, you know, yeah,

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I get that feeling almost like Andy

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Pettitt in a way, like he he's just like very deceptive,

0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 1>he's crafty. You know. It gives me that sort of

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:43.560
<v Speaker 1>a vibe in a way, not fully but like a

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 1>little if that makes sense. But yeah, I mean Duran,

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, he just he just got him over there.

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>So it is what it is. But that was it

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>here for today's game. Tonight's game, Ladies and gentlemen, Red

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Sox lose four to three, record at fifty five and

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>fifty one. Taking a look at the standing and I believe, Yeah,

0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees did win here tonight, taking another one against

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the White Sox. So looking at the wildcard pitcher, Red

0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Sox still in the second spot, still in a comfy spot.

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Game in half up. The Minnesota Twins winning their third

0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>straight game. They came out and they said, hey, we're

0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be looking to buy, which you know, I was

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of expecting coming into the year. No, I was

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.920
<v Speaker 1>not expecting that. But the Twins, you know, they've looked fantastic, well,

0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say fantastic, but they've looked very gritty,

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 1>and they've gotten some good offense, very good offense this year.

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Starting pitching has been pretty good. Bullpen, though, need some help,

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>and it looks like they're gonna be looking for some

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 1>bullpen helps. So here are the Twins. There are half

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>game behind the Guardians right now for the third Wildcard.

0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Astros are a game out. They've won a couple of here.

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>The Mariners, I mean, they're just I don't know what's

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 1>going on with the Mariners lately. They've been more of

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.839
<v Speaker 1>like a second half team. I feel like over the

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:07.560
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years, so getting interesting, getting interesting. But

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:12.079
<v Speaker 1>for the Red Sox for now, still looking all right.

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, this loss here tonight wasn't the end of

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the world. We are going to get to some trade news.

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>We are gonna get some trade news really quick, just

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 1>just in case I forget. It's late. It is late,

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>so I want to make sure I don't forget the

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 1>super chat. What have we got here? My friend Steven,

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>who is worse offensively, Duran and Norvias they both see

0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>like almost guaranteed outs at this point, I think you

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>gotta lean narviias there, right, because Duran he gets into

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>these hot streaks, you know, but he Duran overall. I

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'd rather leave. I'd rather lean Duran at

0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 1>this point. But you know that's not really saying much

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.640
<v Speaker 1>because again, he's been so streaky and he's having the

0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>worst season of his career for a while. Be on nervas, yeah,

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're you really have nervas in there for

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>the defense and working with the pictures. At this point,

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, Duran at least he gives you. He's driving

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 1>in runs, he's giving you good base running, he's stealing

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>some bags. You know, a guy that can run from

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>first to home. So yeah, like Duran, I would lean him.

0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 1>But obviously he's having the down year. So really quick, everybody,

0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna take a break. We'll talk about the trade

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>news coming up. If you can't hit the like button,

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:42.280
<v Speaker 1>subscribe if you're new, we'll be right back. We are back.

0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 1>We are back really quick. Before we get to the

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 1>trade news, do you want to go over tomorrow's game?

0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>We got Patrick Sandoval going up against Jacob B. Lopez. Also,

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I did notice in the chat. Sorry, Mike Monico, I

0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>it's late. I'm sorry I boxed that one, Mike Monico.

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>That guy's amazing when that guy's in the booth. But

0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 1>moving on to tomorrow's game, Patrick Sandoval going up against

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Lopez. Now, Sandoval, the he's been all right for

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the most part, but the problem with him is he

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.440
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been able to go deep into these outings. You

0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>really hope hoping for a bit of a longer outing

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 1>here tomorrow. He's kind of always been that way in

0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>his career, just command wise. You know, it's never really

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.600
<v Speaker 1>helped him get deeper into the games consistently, you know,

0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>But overall so far, you know, he's been alright three

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 1>point two one over the three starts to fourteen innings.

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not necessarily walking guys that's been a problem. It's

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>more so limiting the pitch count, right. You know, Batters

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>just tend to drive up the pictures against him. He's

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 1>not getting a whole lot of swing and miss. He's

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>not getting guys to chase, so you know, there's not

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>really a whole lot of extensions. So batters tend to

0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:57.840
<v Speaker 1>pick him up a little easier. But again, he's not

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.920
<v Speaker 1>walking guys. He's limiting barrels, he's limiting the hard hits,

0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>he's limiting the eggs of v LO, so he's getting

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the weak contact. So it's just a matter of man,

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 1>if you can just kind of put the command together

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more. You know, that's a guy I

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>would love for him to go out there and give

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you six innings tomorrow. We'll see how it goes. Coming

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 1>off his last start, you know, he worked around some

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 1>bass hits against Toronto. Five hits in four and two thirds,

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 1>three k's, two walks. It wasn't a bad outing. Hopefully

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Watson going here today, so you know, hopefully Sandoval

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.440
<v Speaker 1>can give you a little something middle relief. You know,

0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.639
<v Speaker 1>hopefully you won't have to you know, with Watson, a

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:45.080
<v Speaker 1>guy you know that can give you bulk innings. So yeah,

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.959
<v Speaker 1>hopefully Sandoval can go a little longer there tomorrow and

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>going up against mister Patrick Sandoval. We got Jacob Lopez.

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 1>He has not had a whole lot of success so far.

0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Sixteen games, thirteen stars. It's elra above a six fit

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.159
<v Speaker 1>at a five point six eight. He's actually coming off

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>a good start though against the Twins on the road,

0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 1>five innings one hit, he did walk four, but he

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 1>struck out four. So but overall with Lopez, he's limiting barrels,

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:21.240
<v Speaker 1>he's limiting the hard hits. The guys are not hitting

0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the ball hard off of him, but he's just not

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>really getting any swing and miss. He is in the

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty six percent tile with his fifth percentage, only seventh

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.399
<v Speaker 1>percent tile with his chase percentage, and then seventh percent

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.439
<v Speaker 1>tie with his walk percentage. He's a very odd picture.

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 1>He's not giving up hard contact, but the command and

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:49.480
<v Speaker 1>swing and miss it's just not there. So comes off

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:53.879
<v Speaker 1>to me just very erratic from the left side. A

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:58.640
<v Speaker 1>strikeout to walk ratio of seven point four to five

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.720
<v Speaker 1>point six. So he's giving up the long ball. So

0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, realistically, we'll see how it goes. You know,

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Gage Jump. He's looking like, like I said, looking like

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Andy Petnett here tonight, Jacob Lopez. You know, going from

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the left side, you should be able to take advantage

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 1>of this matchup. You're gonna see those ridings back into

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>there tomorrow. I would imagine Romie. I think he's gonna

0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 1>be back in Monasterio. I think he's gonna be in there. Obviously,

0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.760
<v Speaker 1>also I forgot to say so Guard came back up

0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.880
<v Speaker 1>here today for the Red Sox with Curtis Mead going

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.840
<v Speaker 1>on the iel, so wonder if you see him in

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the game tomorrow. We'll see but uh, that's a picturing

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:48.879
<v Speaker 1>maxshup for tomorrow, same time in game time. Here's the news.

0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.119
<v Speaker 1>Here is the news. We got some trade rumors. I'm

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna go through this pretty quick because it's bedtime, ladies

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.240
<v Speaker 1>and gentlemen. It's bedtime. Also, if you are watching from this,

0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 1>good morning, I hope you're having a good morning so far.

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Buster Only Buster Only coming out here today connecting Otto

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Lopez to the Red Sox, Mark Fine Song coming out

0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 1>here today talking about the Marlins maybe being open to dealing.

0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Liam Hicks mentioned the Red Sox as a possible destination. Now,

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.679
<v Speaker 1>before we really get into this, what is the strategy

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:29.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be for the Red Sox after this injury? Right, Well,

0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing bright side. Curtis Mead luckily has four

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>more years of control, so there is that, right, that

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 1>was one of the perks of bringing him in. Obviously

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 1>you'd like for him to help this year, and obviously

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.440
<v Speaker 1>that's a huge blow. That's a bummer but if you

0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:46.879
<v Speaker 1>are looking for a silver lining, you got him for

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:48.879
<v Speaker 1>four more years, right, So that was one of the

0:20:48.880 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 1>perks of bringing him in. So it is what it is, though,

0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>But when it comes to this season, comes to this season,

0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.919
<v Speaker 1>what is the approach going to be? Well, do you

0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.920
<v Speaker 1>see possibly a more aggressive Craig Bresler now that you've

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:05.199
<v Speaker 1>had this injury, or do you see him still staying

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.080
<v Speaker 1>the course, kind of doing what he's doing, or maybe

0:21:08.119 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a little bit of both maybe

0:21:11.040 --> 0:21:14.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of you know, find a happy medium between the two. Yeah,

0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 1>get aggressive, But does that mean necessarily like, oh man,

0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 1>we just lost Curtis Mead. Now we gotta go pull

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:25.760
<v Speaker 1>off a blockbuster for for Bobby Wick Junior. We gotta

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 1>go get that done. We gotta go do it now,

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.680
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't think so necessarily. Chris Catillo did mention

0:21:32.920 --> 0:21:37.240
<v Speaker 1>earlier today he wonders if they could get aggressive in

0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the rental market. I think that could be a bit

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.040
<v Speaker 1>of a happy medium, right, kind of a thing. Here's

0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing with Crank. He is someone that doesn't

0:21:45.800 --> 0:21:51.040
<v Speaker 1>react emotionally. He is as analytical as they come. Right.

0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:53.719
<v Speaker 1>He is not going to be someone that I am

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.000
<v Speaker 1>sure he was bummed out about that. I like we

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:59.119
<v Speaker 1>all were frustrated about it. Right, he did it probably

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:01.800
<v Speaker 1>did a lot of to get that trade done, right,

0:22:01.840 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and for that to happen, that's awful, right, But Craig,

0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 1>he is someone where he's gonna stay on the path

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and but yeah, but could he uppers efforts for you know,

0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:19.400
<v Speaker 1>someone on that rental market, possibly like a Luisa Rise, Right,

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Curtis Mead was looking like he was gonna get looks

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>at second base. Well, how long is he going to

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>be out We don't know. But does he go out

0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:31.480
<v Speaker 1>there and go after maybe someone like Luisa Rise who

0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:35.399
<v Speaker 1>would really fill that leadoff spot I've mentioned him as

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:39.480
<v Speaker 1>a possibility before, or could he still swing big and

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:44.080
<v Speaker 1>go for one of these shortstops like Zach Netto or

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 1>cj Abrams who scouts think that you know, he could

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 1>be better off moving to second base or Jeff Passing

0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 1>even mentioned here today. You can move him out to

0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 1>center field eventually, all right, Yeah, that is one thing

0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:59.359
<v Speaker 1>about him. He's very athletic. I believe he has played

0:22:59.359 --> 0:23:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a little center field in his pro career. But anyway,

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:08.840
<v Speaker 1>either way, you know CJ Abrams or could he still

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.960
<v Speaker 1>go after someone that's under a lot of control, but

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't cost as much as say Zach Nedo or cj. Abrams.

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Someone like Otto Lopez, who we've just talked about with

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Buster Ony connecting him to the Red Sox here today.

0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 1>And I mentioned Otto Lopez in a prior episode. I

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:36.199
<v Speaker 1>actually do think and I'll repeat myself on that, I

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 1>do think he's a good candidate for the Red Sox,

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.880
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, because he's one of these guys that's

0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:43.199
<v Speaker 1>trending up right. That was the same thing with Curtis

0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 1>meat Right, a cost controlled guy that is lacking track

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:51.840
<v Speaker 1>record but has really gotten himself going. So there's that

0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:55.640
<v Speaker 1>a time where you really go for it when he's

0:23:55.760 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 1>trending in the right direction. A guy that's really good

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>play discipline, he makes a lot of contact, a guy

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be just a he's gonna do some stuff

0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:09.560
<v Speaker 1>for you, he's gonna give you speed at the end.

0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:11.119
<v Speaker 1>That's a guy that I think you could put in

0:24:11.119 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 1>the leadoff spot for the Red Sox. Right, so again

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:17.399
<v Speaker 1>more of a contact guy, but that's someone where I

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 1>wonder if he's a good fit for the Red Sox

0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:23.120
<v Speaker 1>organization because you could where the Red Sox have been

0:24:23.880 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 1>comfortable is trying to improve bat speed and the batter

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:30.439
<v Speaker 1>ball metrics. You kind of feel like he's a perfect

0:24:30.440 --> 0:24:32.600
<v Speaker 1>candidate for that. And again he's having a good season

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:35.399
<v Speaker 1>in a three twenty eight, eight fifty four ops a

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:38.840
<v Speaker 1>one thirty three WRC plus. Now he does have a

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:44.800
<v Speaker 1>very high babbit so I imagine over time that's gonna

0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 1>come down a little bit. You tend to see regression

0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 1>with those kind of guys. But again, you know, he

0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:53.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of fits into what the Red Sox have been

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:58.840
<v Speaker 1>really looking to do ever since Chad Tracy came in,

0:24:59.000 --> 0:25:01.920
<v Speaker 1>putting more of the bat on the ball, using your

0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>athleticism again with him, like he's not gonna walk a

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 1>whole lot. He's very aggressive up there, but he's not

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:10.320
<v Speaker 1>going to strike out. He's not going to swing and

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:12.920
<v Speaker 1>miss a whole lot. He squares up the ball very well.

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:16.439
<v Speaker 1>But again, it's improving the batted ball, so you know.

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:18.959
<v Speaker 1>And another thing without a Lopez too, is he's been

0:25:18.960 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>playing a good shortstop this year, five outs above average

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:26.440
<v Speaker 1>on the year. But he's also capable of playing second base,

0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.159
<v Speaker 1>where he's played a lot over the last few years.

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So you know, he has that versatility. So Story comes

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.959
<v Speaker 1>back and okay, Story is the vet, so he's got

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to go to Short. You can have the argument over

0:25:38.359 --> 0:25:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the numbers, but he's still he has the I mean,

0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 1>he's clearly got the versatility. So if you need to

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 1>move guys around, you know, and and honestly like you

0:25:47.840 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of wonder without a Lopez if long to you know,

0:25:52.320 --> 0:25:55.320
<v Speaker 1>second base, just you can say the same thing about

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Story too, right, but the arm strength isn't there, So

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:03.160
<v Speaker 1>either Lopez or Story that you could say they profile

0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 1>better at second base, but whatever, someone that can play

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:08.200
<v Speaker 1>up the middle for you. I think Otto Lopez is

0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely someone to pay attention to if you're looking for

0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 1>someone that's not a rental but not going to be

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 1>as expensive as the top tier guys. You know, listen

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:22.160
<v Speaker 1>for zach Netto for c j Abrams. Uh. Yeah, you

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:25.159
<v Speaker 1>you would have to, You would have to, you know.

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I've I've said, realistically, I don't think I don't see

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:33.919
<v Speaker 1>the Red Sox giving up Arius for those guys. I

0:26:34.119 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 1>just don't. I don't see it. The only way I

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 1>could see Craig giving up Arius who Homer today, By

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the way, first Home Renn at Triple A. The only

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:51.000
<v Speaker 1>way I could see Craig giving up Arius is for

0:26:51.040 --> 0:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Ellie Da La Cruz. That's the only way I could

0:26:54.160 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 1>see it. And I think the Section ten guys have

0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:01.119
<v Speaker 1>been kind of hinting at it a little bit. But

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I do want to put this out there that Rob Bradford,

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 1>he actually put out a tweet saying, for those wondering

0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.040
<v Speaker 1>about Ellie d La Cruz, inquiring teams are being told

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:16.639
<v Speaker 1>not to bother. So, you know, figured i'd mention it

0:27:17.440 --> 0:27:19.439
<v Speaker 1>because at least, you know, one of the guys, one

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:21.240
<v Speaker 1>of the one of the reporters out there did put

0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 1>it out there. Tyler Milliken did repost it, though he

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:27.080
<v Speaker 1>did quote it saying, you know what, I am going

0:27:27.119 --> 0:27:32.119
<v Speaker 1>to bother? I don't know. I don't know what that means,

0:27:32.359 --> 0:27:34.960
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, Ellie Dayla Cruz, like I feel like he's

0:27:35.000 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the only guy at this point I would give up

0:27:37.040 --> 0:27:39.800
<v Speaker 1>for I would give up Franklin Arrius for I don't know,

0:27:39.840 --> 0:27:42.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe you all feel differently. Maybe you'd give him up

0:27:42.200 --> 0:27:44.439
<v Speaker 1>for Arius. Would you give him up for Abrams or

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:48.120
<v Speaker 1>or sorry, would you give him up for Netto or Abrams?

0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I see you in the chat, Colton

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Francona gonna give us a deal. Come on, Terry, come on.

0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 1>We know you still love the Red Sox deep down.

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:01.920
<v Speaker 1>I know the exit was great, but come on, help

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:04.960
<v Speaker 1>us out, help us out. But yeah, Raphael and the

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:08.400
<v Speaker 1>chat Ellie Sells Jerseys. I don't see the Reds moving him.

0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>I'd be shocked if they move him. I know he's

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna go and get himself a massive contract. But the

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Reds want to win. They want to compete, and that's

0:28:16.400 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 1>like I've said that time and time again. Teams want

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:22.639
<v Speaker 1>to compete. You know, Ellie Dayla Cruz is one of

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:25.240
<v Speaker 1>the top players in the game. He does, so yeah,

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 1>would he be great for the Red Sox. Absolutely pretty

0:28:28.119 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 1>much checks off all the boxes that you need, but

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 1>takes two to tango right now? Is anything impossible? No,

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 1>you never say never to anything. But if you were

0:28:42.960 --> 0:28:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to ask me, likely or unlikely. I don't think Elli

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Dyla Cruz is going anywhere. It feels even weird just

0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:52.960
<v Speaker 1>mentioning this as a possibility, but heya, a man can dream, right,

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 1>But again, the only reason I'm bringing him up is

0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Rob Bradford did put that out there today, so so

0:28:58.440 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>want to make that clear again. Go back to ot Lopez.

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:04.800
<v Speaker 1>He feels like that happy medium. If you're not looking,

0:29:04.880 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 1>a rental would be the cheapest, right Luis Arise, He

0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:13.840
<v Speaker 1>realistically wouldn't cost you a whole lot. So that's where

0:29:13.880 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I do wonder if you know, especially with Curtis Mead

0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:21.960
<v Speaker 1>now on the IL, if they could turn to him

0:29:22.360 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 1>as a possibility, I feel like you would be lower

0:29:24.480 --> 0:29:26.760
<v Speaker 1>on the totem pole, Like I feel like they're going

0:29:26.840 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>to look at other guys first, and if they feel

0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 1>like they're not going to be able to obtain those

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:33.840
<v Speaker 1>guys at whatever the Red Sox feel comfortable giving up,

0:29:34.360 --> 0:29:38.239
<v Speaker 1>then I think Arise could eventually be an option. And

0:29:38.280 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you're looking at a timeline wise, right,

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Arise is going to be a rental. Curtis Mead you

0:29:44.120 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 1>have him for four more years. So if that's a

0:29:46.000 --> 0:29:49.040
<v Speaker 1>guy that you're going to give a chance a second base, well, Arise,

0:29:49.080 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you just got him for the rest of the year.

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:54.200
<v Speaker 1>When Curtis Mead comes back, he works his way in

0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 1>as a righty bat that DH is and if you're

0:29:57.360 --> 0:30:01.360
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason, he works his way in in different spots, right,

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.560
<v Speaker 1>But I wouldn't count out the possibility of a rise.

0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>That's a guy that I think could be a guy

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you put in the leadoff spot. But then you know,

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:12.200
<v Speaker 1>but if you wanted to go for someone that you're

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna have for longer, I think Otto Lopez really makes sense.

0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:18.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, I thought about him the other day and

0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:21.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, you know, it depends on what the Marlins do. Though,

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:24.480
<v Speaker 1>what are they gonna do? I don't know. But with

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Peter Bendix coming from a Raise organization, you know, you

0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 1>know how the Rays are the Rays. They march to

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:33.880
<v Speaker 1>the beat of their own drum. They are looking yet

0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to compete now, but they're always looking at the future, right, So, yeah,

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>you have Otto Lopez under control, But could this be

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a situation where Bendix sells high and really looks to

0:30:46.640 --> 0:30:49.760
<v Speaker 1>bring in projectable talent back, Like, could you do something?

0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:56.160
<v Speaker 1>You know with Marcelo Meyer here? Could you possibly You're

0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 1>not gonna give up Arius for Auto Lopez. There's no way.

0:30:58.840 --> 0:31:02.600
<v Speaker 1>This is not enough track, right, but someone like Meyer,

0:31:02.720 --> 0:31:07.400
<v Speaker 1>who you know, you feel I could maybe use a

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 1>change of scenery. Things just haven't worked out. I feel

0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:12.840
<v Speaker 1>like just going back to his time coming up through

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:17.520
<v Speaker 1>the organization so many injuries and then yeah, he's shown flashes.

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:20.960
<v Speaker 1>But I wonder if like that's someone Bendix, who'd be like,

0:31:21.240 --> 0:31:24.080
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of upside with him, right, because there

0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:26.800
<v Speaker 1>is there is upside with the bat, there is upside defensively,

0:31:27.600 --> 0:31:30.360
<v Speaker 1>would he be interested in tapping into that someone he'd

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:33.320
<v Speaker 1>have for a little bit longer than Auto Lopez, right,

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:37.480
<v Speaker 1>someone like has more power upside. But I'd understand if

0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.720
<v Speaker 1>he wouldn't be interested in someone like Meyer because obviously

0:31:41.840 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 1>hasn't really been able to show much up to this point.

0:31:45.840 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>So but I think Lopez is someone you could obtain again,

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:52.480
<v Speaker 1>He's a trending up kind of a guy. Really fits

0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:59.360
<v Speaker 1>that same kind of category as Meat. Not much track record,

0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>really good year control, kind.

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Of a.

0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Kind of fits that bill. We'll see. But as for

0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Liam Hicks, I've been mentioning him a little bit. I

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:17.280
<v Speaker 1>put him that's not Liam Hicks. That's not Liam Hicks either.

0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, hold on a second, Well that's a von Herrera.

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Well I'll pull up Liam Hickson just a second. But

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals, according to Mark fin Son, they could be

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:28.240
<v Speaker 1>open to moving some catching. They have a lot of

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:34.720
<v Speaker 1>catching within the organization. Herrera. Now, he's an interesting one,

0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>right He bats on the right side of the play.

0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:39.600
<v Speaker 1>If I remember correctly, he homered at Femway Park last year.

0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:42.720
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna give you a little bit more pop from

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:46.640
<v Speaker 1>the catcher and DH position. From the right side. He's

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:50.160
<v Speaker 1>got some power upside. He's having an ok year ops wise,

0:32:50.440 --> 0:32:54.080
<v Speaker 1>hitting seven thirty nine one to thirteen ops or one

0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:58.600
<v Speaker 1>thirteen WRC plus. He's not much of a poll guy.

0:32:59.720 --> 0:33:02.600
<v Speaker 1>He tends to go a bit more center and opo.

0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:05.440
<v Speaker 1>That's where he homered, I believe, into the bullpen at

0:33:05.440 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Fenway Park, if I remember correctly. I don't know, but

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's someone that can give you a little

0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>bit more pop, you know. But then, hey, Connor Wong,

0:33:14.720 --> 0:33:17.520
<v Speaker 1>you just see a Wong Dong here tonight. I don't know,

0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:21.960
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, Herrera, he's an option. He also mentioned Pedro Pahz,

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:25.480
<v Speaker 1>but I don't see him because there's not really much

0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of a bat with him. He gives you good defense,

0:33:27.560 --> 0:33:31.360
<v Speaker 1>but you already have that with a narbias, So maybe Herrera.

0:33:32.000 --> 0:33:37.400
<v Speaker 1>But I personally think Hicks is a guy to keep

0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 1>an eye on because taking a look here with Hicks,

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:47.160
<v Speaker 1>he's a guy that can give you a bit more

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:52.480
<v Speaker 1>balance offensively at the catcher position. He bats from the

0:33:52.560 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 1>left side, but he also fits into that same mold

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:58.120
<v Speaker 1>of what I was just talking about talking about with

0:33:58.160 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a couple of things. He has a good amount of

0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:03.600
<v Speaker 1>troll left a guy that's also kind of trending up

0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:05.400
<v Speaker 1>this year. He's having a good year at the plate,

0:34:07.320 --> 0:34:10.760
<v Speaker 1>but he also fits into that same hit or mold,

0:34:11.360 --> 0:34:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a guy that makes more contact. He's not going to

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:18.799
<v Speaker 1>strike out very much. He's got good plate discipline, but

0:34:19.080 --> 0:34:21.759
<v Speaker 1>you could see a bit more with the batter ball profile.

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 1>In fact, you could see a lot more actually, So

0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 1>that's where the argument for him at Femway. It might

0:34:30.040 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 1>not be great because there's not power, and you need power.

0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 1>If you're going to be a lefty bat at Fenway Park,

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you do need some power, right, But maybe they feel

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:44.920
<v Speaker 1>like they could up that a little bit, I don't know,

0:34:45.360 --> 0:34:47.279
<v Speaker 1>over the next couple of years or so. Maybe they

0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:50.520
<v Speaker 1>can get tap into a little bit more there. But

0:34:50.600 --> 0:34:52.440
<v Speaker 1>if you did want a bit of balance at the

0:34:52.480 --> 0:34:55.200
<v Speaker 1>catcher position, he's a lefty bat, you can pare him,

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, with nervaas there. I don't know long I

0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:01.359
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that how would you could you make

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:05.840
<v Speaker 1>all three work? I don't know so, but Hicks gives

0:35:05.840 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you that balance. Not amazing Defensively, he's got he's got

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:15.359
<v Speaker 1>a bit of an r. He's thrown some guys out

0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:19.480
<v Speaker 1>this year, but you know, overall defensively going back to

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:21.960
<v Speaker 1>last year, it's not amazing. Yeah, you're really looking at

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:24.360
<v Speaker 1>more of a contact guy where maybe you could improve

0:35:24.840 --> 0:35:30.319
<v Speaker 1>the batted ball pairs well lefty righty with the catcher right.

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:34.400
<v Speaker 1>But again, defensively, I don't know, but I think someone

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to keep an eye on personally. We'll see how it

0:35:37.480 --> 0:35:40.359
<v Speaker 1>all goes. But again, you know, kind of getting back here,

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:48.799
<v Speaker 1>what is the strategy going to be, especially after the

0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Curtis meet injury. That's kind I feel like that's what

0:35:54.200 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 1>my gut's saying. Would it be awesome for Craig to

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 1>go pull off a move? Absolutely, I don't think it.

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna dismiss that. I think if the if

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:08.759
<v Speaker 1>the right move is there for a blockbuster for say

0:36:08.920 --> 0:36:13.640
<v Speaker 1>a Netto or an Abrams, one of those guys, then

0:36:14.400 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 1>why not. Again, I don't think Craig is I don't

0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 1>think it's impossible, but I don't think he's gonna over

0:36:21.160 --> 0:36:24.799
<v Speaker 1>extend himself to get a deal done like that. I

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:28.959
<v Speaker 1>just feel like that's I don't know, you just haven't

0:36:29.000 --> 0:36:37.360
<v Speaker 1>really seen that very much, right. But could he find

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 1>the right package for someone cheaper like Auto Lopez. I

0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:43.520
<v Speaker 1>feel like that's a bit of a happy medium there.

0:36:44.040 --> 0:36:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Auto Lopez one more time fits that batter ball mode

0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:53.839
<v Speaker 1>or fits that batted ball profile a little bit. And

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:56.560
<v Speaker 1>if I'm actually looking, let me see where he's He

0:36:56.719 --> 0:37:01.680
<v Speaker 1>mostly batted for the Marlins this year. He's been leadoff,

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:06.279
<v Speaker 1>so that would solve your leadoff spot. I think he

0:37:06.320 --> 0:37:08.959
<v Speaker 1>makes a lot of sense. Would I like for them

0:37:09.000 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>to go after more of the blockbuster kind of a move?

0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Of course, of course I would. I would love that.

0:37:16.560 --> 0:37:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Listen if they got Abrams or Netto, I'm doing cartwheels,

0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:23.120
<v Speaker 1>but with an A. Lopez, I'd be happy about that too.

0:37:23.760 --> 0:37:26.440
<v Speaker 1>He's having a good year, good year. He's gonna give

0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you defense, he's gonna give you contact, he's gonna give

0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:31.800
<v Speaker 1>you speed, and he fills a need in the leadoff spot,

0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:36.880
<v Speaker 1>has versatility in the middle infield. I like that, or

0:37:37.560 --> 0:37:41.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe a rise, but I'm open to anything at this point.

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think the Curtis mead injury is going

0:37:47.160 --> 0:37:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to all of a sudden like make Craig go crazy

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:53.640
<v Speaker 1>like and just go bananas like aj Preller. I think

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:58.400
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be a bit more. He's not gonna let

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the emotions get the best of them, I think personally.

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:04.680
<v Speaker 1>But those are my thoughts. We got some super chats

0:38:04.680 --> 0:38:07.759
<v Speaker 1>before we wrap things up here. Let me get to

0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:11.480
<v Speaker 1>these super chats here, Paul, do you think there's any

0:38:11.560 --> 0:38:16.120
<v Speaker 1>chance at a top bat with buyers being so desperate,

0:38:16.160 --> 0:38:21.120
<v Speaker 1>sellers can ask for the world. It's a boring answer.

0:38:21.640 --> 0:38:23.840
<v Speaker 1>It just comes down to the right deal. I think

0:38:23.960 --> 0:38:27.880
<v Speaker 1>they are pretty much at a point they do not

0:38:28.000 --> 0:38:33.080
<v Speaker 1>want to deal Arius. I mean, if you're asking for

0:38:33.440 --> 0:38:39.320
<v Speaker 1>another possible answer, Curtis meads out. I mean, you could

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:43.040
<v Speaker 1>already have someone within the organization in Arius. I don't

0:38:43.040 --> 0:38:45.719
<v Speaker 1>want to put those expectations on him. But listen, the

0:38:45.760 --> 0:38:52.239
<v Speaker 1>guy just looks great, he's looking awesome. You you might

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 1>already have the answer in the organization. I don't know.

0:38:57.719 --> 0:38:59.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to put but if he comes up,

0:38:59.440 --> 0:39:01.880
<v Speaker 1>possibly at some point, if he earns a promotion and

0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:06.920
<v Speaker 1>they give him a shot, we'll see. I would rather

0:39:07.040 --> 0:39:13.040
<v Speaker 1>them go after someone to give you more of that

0:39:13.040 --> 0:39:18.640
<v Speaker 1>that that guaranteed insurance. We were hoping for that with

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:20.960
<v Speaker 1>meat and obviously that didn't work out. So you know,

0:39:22.560 --> 0:39:25.600
<v Speaker 1>you never know what could happen. Right, But if you

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:28.200
<v Speaker 1>bring up, if you bring an Auto Lopez for example,

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:32.239
<v Speaker 1>or Netto or Abrams, even when story comes back, I've

0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:35.920
<v Speaker 1>talked about it before, you'd have you know, those two

0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:39.040
<v Speaker 1>guys up the middle, and then Ivarius is ready to

0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>come up and say story struggling or whatever. Then you

0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:45.400
<v Speaker 1>then that's even more insurance. Right, So I think it

0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:47.560
<v Speaker 1>makes sense to bring in someone for the middle infield.

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:53.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll see, and I agree Colton in the chat catcher

0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I think is the most needed and Reliever. I do

0:39:56.000 --> 0:40:00.279
<v Speaker 1>agree with reliever. I think absolutely they need to do that.

0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:04.239
<v Speaker 1>I think they will they clearly, I think need to

0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:07.040
<v Speaker 1>bring in a for me personally, a high leverage lefty,

0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:09.840
<v Speaker 1>high leverage lefty. I think that would be awesome for

0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:14.239
<v Speaker 1>them to get that catcher. They've just they've had a

0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:18.040
<v Speaker 1>good thing going here with the pitching staff. I think

0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:21.239
<v Speaker 1>that's such an underrated part of the cacture position. The

0:40:21.320 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 1>pictures have worked so well, everything is kind of flowing.

0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I would hate for that to get interrupted. But I

0:40:28.880 --> 0:40:34.239
<v Speaker 1>understand though offensively if you if you're looking for a boost, yeah,

0:40:34.360 --> 0:40:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not opposed to it. We'll see, uh super chat

0:40:38.239 --> 0:40:42.080
<v Speaker 1>buttered sausage. Can we take a few minutes at Abrams, Robbie,

0:40:42.080 --> 0:40:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I think you'd be an amazing fit, incredible this year.

0:40:44.120 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Love the content, ghost socks. I love CJ. Abrams too.

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I love C. J. Abrams. He's awesome. I mean, look

0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:53.400
<v Speaker 1>at this year that he's having, I mean good, just

0:40:53.480 --> 0:40:57.240
<v Speaker 1>feast your eyes. Hitting two ninety four nine thirty one ops,

0:40:57.360 --> 0:41:00.520
<v Speaker 1>one fifty two WRC plus twenty seven homers eighty two rbs.

0:41:00.560 --> 0:41:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Would the power go down at Famway Park a little bit? Yeah,

0:41:04.600 --> 0:41:07.319
<v Speaker 1>it would. I think I think you'd see a little

0:41:07.320 --> 0:41:10.040
<v Speaker 1>bit of a decrease there. I mean, it's not like

0:41:10.080 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 1>it's bad at ball profiles bad pulling this up. He

0:41:15.080 --> 0:41:17.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have a bad at ball profile. But it's not

0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:22.440
<v Speaker 1>bleeding red like a Roman Anthony right well, Roman of

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:27.160
<v Speaker 1>last year or David Ortiz obviously. But you know, I

0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:29.719
<v Speaker 1>think with Abrams, I think at Femway Park, I think

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:33.080
<v Speaker 1>he could play those those gaps really well. I think

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:37.320
<v Speaker 1>that speed that he has eighty second percentile sprint speed.

0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:39.799
<v Speaker 1>I think that would play really well. That's a guy

0:41:39.840 --> 0:41:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that can get a lot of extra base hits, a

0:41:41.480 --> 0:41:45.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of triples. Also, getting back to the power part,

0:41:45.760 --> 0:41:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the reason I say that is because he has a

0:41:48.040 --> 0:41:51.640
<v Speaker 1>pole swing, a pole lefty swing. At Famway Park, you're

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:54.799
<v Speaker 1>hoping for more power with Abrams, though, I still think

0:41:54.800 --> 0:41:57.520
<v Speaker 1>you can make that work. Again, I think he can

0:41:57.640 --> 0:42:00.680
<v Speaker 1>shoot into the gaps and I think he use that

0:42:00.800 --> 0:42:04.920
<v Speaker 1>deep right field pretty well. You know, you could definitely

0:42:04.960 --> 0:42:08.040
<v Speaker 1>see guys that you know they'll like kind of go

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:11.719
<v Speaker 1>deeper on them, and uh, you know, so, I don't know.

0:42:11.840 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I wonder how outfield alignments, especially right fielders would play

0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:20.120
<v Speaker 1>him at Famway Park. You know, maybe they back up

0:42:20.120 --> 0:42:22.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit so because they know it's not going

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to go past their head, probably more often than not.

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:28.200
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know. It'd be interesting like how they

0:42:28.239 --> 0:42:30.040
<v Speaker 1>would play him. But then again, you know if they

0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:32.560
<v Speaker 1>back up on him, well then he's just got all

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the base hit possibilities, right, So it's interesting. It's interesting.

0:42:38.640 --> 0:42:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I think Abrams would be a good fit there. I

0:42:40.520 --> 0:42:42.360
<v Speaker 1>would love to see him. I think you'd be electric.

0:42:43.000 --> 0:42:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I think again, like you said in the chat, Rafael

0:42:45.040 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 1>triple triples for days. I agree. I think he's a

0:42:48.520 --> 0:42:50.400
<v Speaker 1>guy that can make a lot of things happen. You

0:42:50.400 --> 0:42:52.720
<v Speaker 1>could bat him third, you can bat him lead off.

0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:55.719
<v Speaker 1>I think it'd be great. And I think, if I

0:42:55.760 --> 0:42:58.719
<v Speaker 1>remember correctly the Section ten guys, they said just because

0:42:58.719 --> 0:43:01.400
<v Speaker 1>he made a trade with the Nationals Curtis Meade doesn't

0:43:01.440 --> 0:43:04.320
<v Speaker 1>mean someone like Abrams is off the board. But again,

0:43:04.520 --> 0:43:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, the Nationals getting back one more time. I

0:43:07.880 --> 0:43:12.760
<v Speaker 1>keep saying it over and over and over again. They're

0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:17.000
<v Speaker 1>right there, they're one game out. They won tonight, They're

0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:20.480
<v Speaker 1>right there, they're two games over five hundred. Connolly Early

0:43:20.560 --> 0:43:24.680
<v Speaker 1>is coming back soon, you know. Like I think he

0:43:24.719 --> 0:43:27.720
<v Speaker 1>threw a bullpen today in Washington. He arrived there today,

0:43:28.080 --> 0:43:30.799
<v Speaker 1>so they're gonna be getting him back, so they're gonna

0:43:30.800 --> 0:43:34.680
<v Speaker 1>have more pitching down the stretch. So I don't know.

0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not convinced they're gonna move him. It'd be great,

0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:45.280
<v Speaker 1>but I think, my guess the only way they would

0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:50.640
<v Speaker 1>trade him is if they got an Arius. That's my

0:43:50.840 --> 0:43:55.400
<v Speaker 1>that's my thinking. Uh. Stephen Craig thoughts on twenty twenty seven,

0:43:55.560 --> 0:43:58.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven season not happening. I don't buy it. To

0:43:58.960 --> 0:44:01.280
<v Speaker 1>be honest, I think there's a lot of fear mongering

0:44:01.320 --> 0:44:05.640
<v Speaker 1>with that whole thing. Listen, I just think as as

0:44:05.680 --> 0:44:08.280
<v Speaker 1>a former teacher. And again, you know, I'm not gonna say.

0:44:09.320 --> 0:44:11.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, who knows how this lot, how long this

0:44:11.719 --> 0:44:14.759
<v Speaker 1>lockout could be. But I've seen unions go back and

0:44:14.800 --> 0:44:17.359
<v Speaker 1>forth with each other. I've seen the counties going back

0:44:17.360 --> 0:44:20.759
<v Speaker 1>and forth with the teachers Union. Oh my goodness, I

0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:22.960
<v Speaker 1>would get so many emails left and right when they

0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:28.120
<v Speaker 1>were doing in their collective bargaining sessions. I would get

0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:31.200
<v Speaker 1>emails all the time, Oh, the county is terrible. They

0:44:31.239 --> 0:44:34.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to help you, they don't look out for you,

0:44:34.520 --> 0:44:38.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't want to pay you. They're terrible, terrible. And

0:44:38.040 --> 0:44:40.319
<v Speaker 1>then the county would send us emails, Hey, we are

0:44:40.440 --> 0:44:43.440
<v Speaker 1>working with the teachers Union. We are we are fighting

0:44:43.480 --> 0:44:45.600
<v Speaker 1>as much as we can for you, and you know,

0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:49.040
<v Speaker 1>we're also looking out for the county. And I'll just

0:44:49.080 --> 0:44:52.520
<v Speaker 1>be back and forth all the time. Like I I

0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:54.920
<v Speaker 1>think eventually they're going to figure something out. Could you

0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:56.920
<v Speaker 1>have a bit of a lockout in the off season

0:44:57.200 --> 0:44:59.200
<v Speaker 1>like we saw back what was it four or five

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:04.520
<v Speaker 1>years ago? Sure? Maybe? Yeah, Like I think you could

0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:07.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, could you end up missing a little bit

0:45:07.280 --> 0:45:11.439
<v Speaker 1>of the season. Sure, I think there's just too much

0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:15.319
<v Speaker 1>money on the line, and I think there's just it's

0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:19.759
<v Speaker 1>baseball is going in a good direction. I think it's

0:45:19.800 --> 0:45:27.480
<v Speaker 1>so so bad for them to let you know, to

0:45:27.480 --> 0:45:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to miss games, like how ridiculous. But then again, you know,

0:45:31.200 --> 0:45:34.719
<v Speaker 1>major League Baseball they've shot themselves in the foot over all.

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:38.000
<v Speaker 1>You know how many years you know, they at any

0:45:38.040 --> 0:45:40.040
<v Speaker 1>time they take a step forward, they just take a

0:45:40.080 --> 0:45:44.000
<v Speaker 1>step back, you know, one step forward, two steps back.

0:45:44.080 --> 0:45:46.239
<v Speaker 1>It feels like that's happened with Major League Baseball over

0:45:46.280 --> 0:45:48.359
<v Speaker 1>the years. But I do think a lot of what

0:45:48.400 --> 0:45:52.719
<v Speaker 1>you see in the media, it's you got these guys

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:56.680
<v Speaker 1>are gonna be putting stuff out, you know, owners, players, union,

0:45:57.080 --> 0:45:59.600
<v Speaker 1>They're all gonna be saying stuff because that's what that's

0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:05.600
<v Speaker 1>a strategy. It's using the public right, it's to create

0:46:05.640 --> 0:46:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that pressure. It's a tactic. It's just what it is.

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:13.879
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's anywhere, that's any union out there, that's

0:46:14.200 --> 0:46:19.120
<v Speaker 1>that's just what you do. You know. Anyway, I would

0:46:19.160 --> 0:46:21.560
<v Speaker 1>like to think that they're not gonna miss Yeah, could

0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:25.400
<v Speaker 1>you see see the gates close for a little bit? Sure?

0:46:26.400 --> 0:46:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I am not fully expecting they're gonna miss games. I

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:32.360
<v Speaker 1>just don't. I don't know. Maybe who knows, maybe you

0:46:32.360 --> 0:46:34.520
<v Speaker 1>miss a little bit of time. But I keep seeing

0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:38.799
<v Speaker 1>people in all twenty twenty seven seasons gone. I don't think.

0:46:38.880 --> 0:46:43.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a little crazy, Like sure, could it

0:46:43.960 --> 0:46:47.759
<v Speaker 1>get bad, of course, of course it could. I just

0:46:47.800 --> 0:46:51.080
<v Speaker 1>think there's too much money at stake. I think eventually

0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:57.439
<v Speaker 1>someone will say something, be like okay, come on, like gotta,

0:46:57.480 --> 0:47:01.200
<v Speaker 1>we gotta there's too much money here. Let's get this

0:47:01.239 --> 0:47:06.759
<v Speaker 1>figured out. Anyway, moving on, Oh, you had another part,

0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and if that's affecting trades, I think the only thing

0:47:10.719 --> 0:47:16.640
<v Speaker 1>would be for guys that are like, have one more

0:47:16.719 --> 0:47:21.600
<v Speaker 1>year of control, like Joe Ryan for example, right, he

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:24.240
<v Speaker 1>has one more year of control. So you gotta think

0:47:24.360 --> 0:47:28.560
<v Speaker 1>like if owners and organizations they're wondering about next year,

0:47:29.160 --> 0:47:32.480
<v Speaker 1>if there is a little bit of worry there and

0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:37.279
<v Speaker 1>they trade away prospects for someone that has one year

0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:40.840
<v Speaker 1>left of control like Joe Ryan, who is not looking

0:47:40.840 --> 0:47:42.480
<v Speaker 1>like he's gonna get moved. I'm just using him as

0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:46.000
<v Speaker 1>an example that could come into play a little bit

0:47:46.600 --> 0:47:50.160
<v Speaker 1>like oh, well, we don't even know how long we're

0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:55.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna have him for next year, So I don't know.

0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:59.000
<v Speaker 1>You know that I think could come into play with

0:47:59.040 --> 0:48:01.239
<v Speaker 1>those guys. But if you got guys like it our

0:48:01.360 --> 0:48:04.520
<v Speaker 1>under control for a few years, Baseball is not gonna

0:48:04.520 --> 0:48:06.440
<v Speaker 1>be locked down for three years, all right, So I

0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:09.319
<v Speaker 1>think we can all agree on that. Those guys I

0:48:09.320 --> 0:48:11.359
<v Speaker 1>don't think are gonna be affected at all. Reynolds, They're

0:48:11.400 --> 0:48:13.600
<v Speaker 1>not gonna be affected. So yeah, guys that are under

0:48:13.600 --> 0:48:16.240
<v Speaker 1>control for next year. Sure I could see those guys.

0:48:16.280 --> 0:48:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it creates a little bit of a problem. But anyway,

0:48:21.760 --> 0:48:23.640
<v Speaker 1>ladies and gentlemen, I'm out of here. I'm gonna wrap

0:48:23.640 --> 0:48:26.320
<v Speaker 1>it up right there. I wanted to go as quickly

0:48:26.360 --> 0:48:29.520
<v Speaker 1>as possible here tonight. I'm very tired. It's already one

0:48:29.680 --> 0:48:34.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty in the morning. Oh I gotta go get some sleep. Everybody,

0:48:34.120 --> 0:48:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you all the members that came out here tonight.

0:48:36.080 --> 0:48:38.600
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for everyone that came out here tonight. Thank

0:48:38.600 --> 0:48:41.439
<v Speaker 1>you for the super chats. Do appreciate that. I'm going

0:48:41.440 --> 0:48:44.480
<v Speaker 1>to bed, everybody. We'll be back here tomorrow, same time.

0:48:45.239 --> 0:49:08.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll see you then. Tada
