1 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 1: Hi to and everybody welcome. Demonster Territory, brought to you 2 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: by the Fouls Territory Network. Another frustrating loss series loss 3 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: here to the Twins going down at a score of 4 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: five to four. You know, I feel like I've come 5 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: on here a lot this year, and it feels like 6 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm beating a dead horse at this point. I've been 7 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: saying this for a while now. Inconsistencies, inconsistencies, even more 8 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: inconsistencies on top of inconsistencies. You see this team, where 9 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: you see the potential of this team, and then they 10 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: just come out. You know, they get started off very 11 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: well today, You get out to a nice lead, things 12 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: are looking pretty tidy for the most part, and then 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: you just can't hang onto it. You know, whether or 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: not it's the offense lacking or the bullpen also lacking, 15 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: not able to hold down a lead, it's just they 16 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: can't seem to find their groove. They just can't seem 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: to find just that consistent path that's gonna lead them 18 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: to success. And it's getting a little frustrated. I'm at 19 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: the point now where yes, it is May Fourth, happy 20 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: made the fourth, everybody, May the Fourth be with you. 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: I know, Everyone loves to say that every single year, 22 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: so I gotta say it. But it's getting to the 23 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: point now where, listen, we've played over a month of baseball. 24 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: We're almost a quarter of the way through the season. 25 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: Not quite at twenty five percent just yet, but I'm 26 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: at the point where I think changes are gonna have 27 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 1: to be made here at some point, at the very least, 28 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 1: some tweaks, especially when you got a couple of guys 29 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: down at the minor leagues that also had a good 30 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: game today, but they've been playing well all year down 31 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: to the minor leagues. Something's got to happen here. You're 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: back to five hundred. I feel like, you know, this 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: was a team where you saw them coming into the year. 34 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: They were good vibes, they had talent, plenty of enough 35 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: talent to be able to should be playing better than this. 36 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: In my opinion, it's frustrating, and it's getting to the 37 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: point now where I'm just kind of over it. You know. Again, 38 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: I know it's early, but you're getting to the point 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: now where, Okay, you've had a little bit to evaluate, now, 40 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: what's going to be the game plan moving forward? Right Obviously, 41 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: we've seen how many teams in the past where you know, 42 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: you look at how they do the first thirty forty 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: games of the year doesn't really matter, you know, by 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: the end of the year, you know that that doesn't 45 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: dictate the outcome, right, But they need to start making 46 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: some adjustments. And because it is getting a little frustrating 47 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: to be completely honest, But before I go any further, 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: just want to shout out today's sponsor, and that's Harry's. 49 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: If you want a razor that looks good, makes you 50 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: look good, gets the shape done, and doesn't cost much. 51 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: Uh oh oh, it is it nice. 52 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: That's a Harry John and you can smell it too. 53 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: Smell it jo, Oh wow. 54 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: That's Harry's.

I feel like the volume. Okay, volume 83 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: is good. Okay, awesome, let's get this going here. I mean, 84 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: I just said a lot of what I had to say. 85 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: My thought process, you know, coming into the show, inconsistent offense. 86 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: You start off, well, hey, they were coming out of 87 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: the gates very well here today third inning or second inning, 88 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: will you're with the base hit, Roamy with the base hit. 89 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: Nice day for romy overall, had the base hit, stolen base, 90 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: did have the error in the game, but narv Dog 91 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: picked him up there, throwing out Larnick on the stolen 92 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: base attempt at second base. David Hamilton, I'll talk about 93 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: him in just a little bit, but he laid down 94 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: the sack bunt and then after that narv Dog with 95 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: the bass hit made it two to one at the time. 96 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: Unfortunately after that, you know, this is kind of where 97 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: we've talked about this before as well said he had 98 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: a double. Give a lot of credit to Carlos Kara. 99 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: He made a nice plague. Jaron Duran looks like he 100 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: had a blooper, but Carlos Korea, that guy is so 101 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: freaking good. Man made a nice play there. But Rafi 102 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: with a flyout right after that. So you got off 103 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,280 Speaker 1: to the nice start there in the second inning. You 104 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: kept it going there. Third inning, Bregnant with the walk. 105 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: Will you'd with the bass hit, Roam with the sack 106 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: fly made a three to one eighth inning, You know 107 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 1: you were down at that point, we'll get to Garrett 108 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: Crochet hearing just a second. But Will you're with the 109 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: home run they did make it five to four. You know, 110 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: it's just uh, but again it's you're getting off to 111 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: the great start and then you just go quiet for 112 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: a little while. You know, Sure, Will your you know, 113 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: had a pretty good game here today and came up 114 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: big in the eighth inning, but you're just not really 115 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: able to get anything going here. And I did look 116 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: up at a stat where I looked up a stat 117 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: in the first through third innings this year for the 118 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: Red Sox, they have a one to forty six WRC 119 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: plus that ranks second in Major League Baseball. In the 120 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: fourth through ninth innings, they even eighty seven WRC plus 121 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: that ranks twentieth in Major League Baseball. So what that's 122 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: telling me is they're coming out swinging, they're getting they're 123 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: being aggressive, they're putting good swings on the ball, they're 124 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: getting the offense going. But then the pictures on the 125 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: opposing teams they're making the adjustments to the Red Sox. Right, 126 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: it's all about adjustments, right, I mean that's not all 127 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: about adjustments, but adjustments within a game are gonna be 128 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: very big and dictating a win or a loss, and 129 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: the Red Sox so far this year, they just haven't 130 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: been able to make those adjustments offensively as the game 131 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: goes on. I don't know where to pinpoint that. I'm 132 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: not an expert by any means, but I'm getting to 133 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: the point now where again I don't want to, you know, 134 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: point fingers and I don't wanna you know again, And 135 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: I see a couple of you in the chat saying, oh, 136 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's we got to start. We got to 137 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: stop the it's too early talk. I get it. You know, 138 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: We're we are getting there. I'm almost at that twenty 139 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: five percent. That's my line. I'm looking at the first 140 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the season and I'm thinking, Okay, 141 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: we've had enough evaluation at this point. What do we 142 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: do here moving forward? You know, what adjustments can we 143 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: make the Red Sox right now? I don't know. I 144 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: think it's more of a game plan kind of a thing. 145 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: I think there's there's a philosophical thing going on here 146 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: because they're making plenty of swings, they're making hard contact, 147 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: they can do the damage. But I really think it 148 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: comes down to the swing selections, recognizing the pitches, and 149 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to use the word adjustment again. That is 150 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: kind of the key word of today's show, making the 151 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: adjustments to the pictures. Because they're doing a much better 152 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: job at figuring the Red Sox out as the game 153 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: goes on than the Red Sox are at figuring them out. 154 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: So there needs to be something there. I don't know 155 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: what that answer is to be, to be completely honest 156 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: with you, unfortunately, but to me, when I see Roman 157 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: Anthony and Marcelo Meyer are having good, you know, good 158 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: years so far in the minor leagues. Roman Anthony's looking amazing. Sure, 159 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, you can say maybe you want to have 160 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: him work on the fly balls a little bit more, 161 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: but man, he's looking great. Right Marcelo Meyer, he got 162 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: off to a bit of a slow start, but he's 163 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: looking great today. They want to combine five five for 164 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: ten today. I don't know, man, I just think this lineup, 165 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: you know, And you can't say Tristan Cassas, right, Yes, 166 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: they lost Tristan Cassas, and like I've said the past 167 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: couple of days, here thoughts some prayers going out to him. 168 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: But he you know, he was a guy that was 169 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: really looking to turn the corner, right, he was still 170 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 1: trying to figure some things out, So you can't look 171 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: at that right, So you got to do something with 172 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: this lineup, you know, looking at David Hamilton today now, well, 173 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get to David Hamilton a little bit later, 174 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: you know, when we're talking about the bullpen, but right now, 175 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: he you know, sure, he's had a you know, a 176 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: couple of decent moments. You know, had a decent game yesterday, 177 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: but for the most part, he's not really pulling his 178 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: weight and he just feels like an automatic out at 179 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: this point, and it's frustrating where you know, I'll get 180 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: to the play with David Hamilton later on when we 181 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: do talk about the bullpen, but at this point, it's like, 182 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: I really just don't want Trevor's story sitting. You know, 183 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: I know he's gonna have to I know they need to, 184 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: you know, they need to make sure, you know, they're 185 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: handling him well to keep him injury free. But to me, 186 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, like I'm just not seeing a good enough 187 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: reason at this point for Hamilton to be getting It's 188 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: it's hard because you know, you have to you got 189 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: to go to someone and no, I don't think Marcella 190 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: Meyer is the answer to be a backup. I don't 191 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: think Marcella Meyers should become up as a backup. He 192 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: needs to be having every day at bats. But they 193 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: need to come up with some kind of a solution 194 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: because the offense is so inconsistent this year. They need 195 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: to find some kind of a formula where they're keeping 196 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: this offense churning. Right, And who knows, maybe, you know, 197 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: you start to look at the hitting coach a little bit. 198 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: I know everyone really they don't want to. You know, 199 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: there are people out there that think that's just a 200 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: it's a lame excuse. But at the end of the day, 201 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: it's like we keep seeing the same old thing. It's 202 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: over and over again. Right, You see some hope, not 203 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: I don't say hope right, because there's so much talent, 204 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: but you see the potential of what this team can 205 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: do on a daily basis, and then they just fall 206 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: flat again and it's the same problems over and over 207 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: and over again. So at some point, are you looking 208 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: at the guys in the lineup? Are you looking at 209 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: what's going on? You know, coaching staff wise, you know 210 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: game plan wise. I don't know. To me, I just 211 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: feel like I'm at the point like what is what 212 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: is going on here? You know, it's because you just 213 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: keep falling back into these same patterns, right you bust 214 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: out and then you just fall right back to it. 215 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I get to me. I mean, 216 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: I could be very wrong. I'm definitely wrong a lot, 217 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: but I feel like at some point it's like they 218 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: just go with this same approach all the time, and 219 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: it's like they hope for the best, and honestly, again 220 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: I want to say hope, and it's like it's like 221 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: they expect to get the same result every time. I 222 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: don't know, man, the same thing, you know. Anyway, I'm rambling, 223 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: not sure if I make sense on that, but that's 224 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: just kind of what I'm thinking right now. Instant reaction. 225 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: Very frustrated with this offense, Very frustrated because you see 226 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: a lot of good things, but then you the bad 227 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: is really holding this team back, and I feel like 228 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: they're lacking the extent ancient in this lineup and coming 229 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 1: into the season, I'm thinking, you know that the lineup 230 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: was looking very strong, I thought, very top to bottom. 231 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: But you know, especially when you've got a guy like 232 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell at the beginning of the year, you know, 233 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: a batting six seventh and I'm thinking, oh great, you 234 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: know bottom of the lineup, You've got a pretty solid 235 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: bat there as well. You know, Christian Campbell also batting 236 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: cleanup today. I love it. I love a nice different 237 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: look like that. By the way, I'm a big fan. 238 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, I think this Red Sox 239 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: team they're just lacking something that's making that's preventing them 240 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: from being a consistent offense. Right. Whether that is Roman 241 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: Anthony the answer is Marcela Meyer the answer both of them, 242 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. But at this point I'm starting because 243 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, the talent's there, so I'm starting to and 244 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if it's if it's an unfair take, and 245 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to, you know, be that guy. But 246 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: at some point, you know, it's like, is it the 247 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: play or is it a philosophical thing? Is it is 248 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: it the approach with the analytics? What is it? I 249 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: don't know. And again, maybe I'm overreacting, and I apologize 250 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: if I'm overreacting. I'm not trying to. I'm usually a 251 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: guy that likes to keep an even keel on things, 252 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 1: but it's just getting frustrating and I don't know. I 253 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: don't know what the answer is. I think I do 254 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: know what the answer is, but I don't want to 255 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: jump to conclusions. To me, right now, I think this 256 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: team needs a bit of a jolt. I think they 257 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: need something. I feel like the lineup is missing something. 258 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: I'm figuring out a way to get Roman Anthony into 259 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: this lineup. I understand he's got to work on some things, 260 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: but to me, you need a bit of a jolt, 261 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: you need some energy. I think Roman Anthony is the guy. 262 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: Maybe Marcelo Meyer at some point, I don't, I say, 263 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: right now, try to figure out how to get Roman 264 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: into the lineup. That's what I'm doing personally. You got 265 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: an off day tomorrow, could that be Could that be 266 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: an answer tomorrow? Usually these big moves, anytime you make 267 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: a call up like that, especially with the player of 268 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: that caliber, you like to do it on an off day. 269 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: Could tomorrow be the day for Roman Anthony. I don't know. 270 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: We'll see, we'll see. That's what I'm doing, though some 271 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: people might think that's rushing. For me, I need a 272 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: Joel in this lineup. I need something right. But what 273 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: do I know. I'm just a dufist that sits at 274 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: my desk. But let's get to Garrett Crochet. Garret Crochet here. Hey, 275 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: you know this guy today not his best stuff. Vello 276 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: is down a little bit. But this these are the 277 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: kind of starts that I appreciate a lot, you know, 278 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: And he's had a couple of them along the way 279 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: where you know, he hasn't looked his best whether or 280 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: not he's you know, lacking command or something. But today 281 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: I appreciated this outing today because his fastball Vlo was 282 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: down compared to his as average, so he wasn't going 283 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: to his fastball as much. He was actually leaning a 284 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: lot more into the cutters and the sinkers today. He 285 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: even upped his change up usage today. All at all, 286 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: had himself a pretty decent day. You know. I kind 287 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: of thought maybe they could go back to him for 288 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: the sixth inning. He was at eighty nine pitches up 289 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: to that point, so I don't know, I understand it. It 290 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: could have been a little a little risky for him 291 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: to go back out to the for the sixth inning, 292 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: considering he didn't have his best today. But I do 293 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: because you know, if you go back to that fifth inning, 294 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: he worked around a couple of the walks. He did 295 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: finish the day strong, getting the fly out and the 296 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: ground out, but I almost wonder if maybe he could 297 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: have had another inning today. I'm not sure. We'll get 298 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: to the bullpen here in a little bit. But getting 299 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: back to the crochet. Another thing that I appreciated obviously 300 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: the outing today he really gutted through. But my goodness, 301 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: this guy, I mean, he didn't get full on, like 302 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: hit in the face with a comebacker today, but he 303 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: got He definitely got a good amount of graze on 304 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: the face today with a comebacker. When that ball was 305 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: hit right back to him, I jumped, and I'm thinking, 306 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: oh man, oh boy. But then you saw the replay 307 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: and I thought maybe he had blocked it enough with 308 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: his glove. But then he saw the replay, it totally 309 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: grazed his face and caught a good amount of his nose. 310 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: Thank God that it didn't end up being more than that. 311 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: But this guy stayed in the game after that. I mean, 312 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: either way, you know, whether or not you know he 313 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: did avoid you know that being a lot worse, but 314 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: still the mental part of it, like you just had 315 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: a ball like just almost hit you square in the 316 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: face like that. To me, that's gonna at least mentally 317 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: shake me up as well. His nose was bleeding a 318 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: little bit, so there definitely was a physical aspect of 319 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: it as well. He said in the post game that 320 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: his nose went a little numb after that. But to me, 321 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: give him a lot of credit man, you know, for 322 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: buckling down like that and just finishing off his outing. 323 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that happened in the fourth inning, so he 324 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: ended up going the fifth inning after that, So a 325 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: lot of credit from him. But again getting back to 326 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: the stuff, not his best stuff overall, the Vilo was 327 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: down a little bit a lot more sinkers on the 328 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: day fifteen percent has been his average on the year 329 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: for the usage up to twenty two percent on the day, 330 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: And I actually wonder if that could have been slightly 331 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: by design because Minnesota they ranked seventh overall in the 332 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: highest ground ball percentage, So I wonder if that was 333 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 1: a bit of the a bit of the plan today 334 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: or if it was some kind of an adjustment maybe 335 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: in the bullpen he felt like the fastball wasn't at 336 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: its best, so was that an in game adjustment? Or 337 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: was that also a bit part of the plan, just 338 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: a little bit, But either way, the sinkers are up today. 339 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: He went from five percent change up use on the 340 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: year to nineteen percent today. So he was working in 341 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: those other pictures. But this proved to me that, you know, 342 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: because I see a lot of people thinking, oh, Crochet, 343 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: he's just a fastball kind of a guy. You know, 344 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: he's just throwing out there now. He pitched today. He pitched. 345 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: You know, of course he'd like for him to go 346 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 1: a little bit deeper, but it is what it is. Overall, 347 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: solid outing today for Garrett Crochet, but it's unfortunate that 348 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: the bullpen had to waste it. Garrett Witlock had a 349 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: clean six inning, couple of strikeouts, but the seventh inning 350 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: he started to lose the command a little bit. Harrison 351 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: Bader with the walk, Vasquez with the base hit, boxed 352 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: him to the ground out to move the runners up. 353 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: Jeffers with a base hit. Had a pretty nice series overall. 354 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: That tied the game at three. You know, So Whitlock, 355 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, I saw some people saying on the Twitter 356 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: land on Red Sox Twitter land, enough with Garrett Whitlock 357 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: pitching a couple of innings I could see, you know, 358 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: to me, this is kind of where, you know, when 359 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 1: Luis Guerrero went back down Yester a couple of days ago, 360 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: whenever it was, I'm thinking, you know, because I've been 361 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: wanting to the Red Sox to have at least one 362 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: more high leverage reliever, and he had Zach Kelly, but 363 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: obviously he had some things to work on. But Luis Guerrero, 364 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: this is a guy that came up and he had 365 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: a couple of good outings and the stuff was looking good. 366 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: This is where I would have liked to have had, 367 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, have him, you know, go that sixth inning 368 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: and then whitlock, go the seventh and then you know, 369 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 1: figure it out from there. Or again, I'll get back 370 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: to it and it might not be a fair take, 371 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: and I can totally understand where people disagree with it, 372 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: but I almost wonder, you know, was Crochet out of gas. 373 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: I would have liked another inning out of him, or 374 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: at least maybe another hour or two, you know, at 375 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: eighty nine pictures. But again maybe he was just at 376 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: a gas at that point. So I don't mean to 377 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: be unfair with that if I am, because I'm not 378 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: gonna take anything away from Crochet today, the guy battled 379 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: got hit in the face with a frickin' ball, So 380 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, to me, I'm not going to push the 381 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: envelope on that. It would have been nice, but I'm 382 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 1: okay with it. But to me, this is where it 383 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: would have been nice to have Luis Guerrero, you know, 384 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: another middle reliever with some good stuff that could come in. Whitlock, 385 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, can just go that seventh, you know, and 386 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 1: then you go from there, right Slayton eighth innings. Slayton 387 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: has not looked very good lately. You know, you can 388 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: say what you will about the Vlad home run off 389 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 1: of him in Toronto. That curveball, man, you know, sure 390 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: he he did. Narvaias did want it outside, right, he 391 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: did want it. He didn't want it inside to Vlad. 392 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: But the curveball that Vlad frickin hit out that was 393 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that was just completely out of the zone. 394 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: So either way, you know, you missed the spot. But 395 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: I'll at least give him a little credit because it 396 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily a bad pitch. But overall, the numbers of 397 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: the results have not looked good for Slate, for Slayton, 398 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: Carey had the base head off of him. And this 399 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: is where we get back to David Hamilton. This is 400 00:20:58,320 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: why I don't want Trevor' story out of the game, 401 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: and it's it stinks because I know he has to. 402 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: He can't play every game, right. I know those guys 403 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: out there, they play a full one sixty two. But 404 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: with Trevor Story, you gotta manage the playing time with him. 405 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying he needs a couple of days off 406 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: every week, but you know, it seemed like he was 407 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: probably in line. I feel like the last couple of games, 408 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: if my memory serves me correctly, he hasn't fully been 409 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: seeing the ball that well. But Hamilton playing shortstop like 410 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: he was not a good defensive shortstop last year. I 411 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: hate David Hamilton playing shortstop and that look, it was 412 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: a hard hit ball from Korea, but to me, that's 413 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: a ball that needs to be caught and it's those 414 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: little things that can lead to those beginnings. And to me, 415 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 1: I'm fine with Hamilton being at second base, but why 416 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: is he playing short I get it Story needed a 417 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 1: day off or whatever, but I don't know, man Like, 418 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: to me, I'm not having Hamilton play short that's just me. 419 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: I don't know. A couple of flyouts after that, Baiter 420 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: with a double made it four to three. Slayton, you know, 421 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: the fastball was up above the zone. It just wasn't enough. 422 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: That's what I think is the problem with Slayton as 423 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: of late. He's not necessarily making bad pitches, but he's 424 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: just leaving them a little too over and they're just 425 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: getting you know, he's I feel like he's close, he's 426 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: just not fully making his pitches. Larnick had the base hit, 427 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: they made it five to three. Curveball caught too much 428 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: of the plate. Again, probably a little bit lower, maybe 429 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: you have a different result. So I feel like, you know, 430 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: that fastball to batter probably needs to be up a 431 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: little bit more. I feel like he's just lately, he's 432 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: not fooling these batters. That's what I think the problem is. 433 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: Because the stuff isn't bad. The velos still looking good. 434 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: I just don't they I think he's he's just not 435 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: doing enough to get by right, just leaving a little 436 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: too much over the plate. Hendricks came in had a one, 437 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: two three inning that honestly looked like the best Hendricks 438 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: has looked up to this point, and I've said that 439 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: this is a guy who's had a great career and 440 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: he just needed to work off some rust. So bullpen though, 441 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: not a great day. But again, I'm not gonna fully 442 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: go to the bullpen because you know, yeah, you're gonna 443 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: have your moments throughout the year where guys are not 444 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: on top of their game. You're gonna have off games. Yeah, 445 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: the bullpen, you know, yeah, a lot to be desired 446 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 1: over the last few games, but they've had their moments. 447 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: But this is where I get back to the offense. 448 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: You know, It's like, it's so frustrating because when you 449 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: have one part of the team that's not doing well, 450 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: you gotta have the other part step up, you know. 451 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate. The offense and the bullpen just didn't 452 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: do enough today. And this is against a Twins team 453 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: that hasn't really been able to do all that much 454 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: up to this point. It stinks, you know. But for me, 455 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: the one aspect of this that lately, not even just today, 456 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: but just lately, the one aspect that sticks out to me, 457 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: it's this offense. They need to do something. Tweaks need 458 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: to be made, Adjustments need to be made. I don't 459 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: know what the answer is. I don't know. To me, 460 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: I think I don't know. I don't know what's gonna 461 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: happen tomorrow. It is an off day. Off days are 462 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: usually interesting, you know, when it comes to roster moves. 463 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be on the lookout for something tomorrow. 464 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Roman's getting called up, but you just 465 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: fell back to five hundred. You feel like this team 466 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: needs a bit of a jolt. If there is a 467 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: time to call up Roman. I think that tomorrow could 468 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: be a day we'll see if they were playing better, 469 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: if they were, you know, five games over five hundred. 470 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: I don't think you're even thinking about it, But now 471 00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: that you've fallen back to five hundred, I think you 472 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: would maybe see something tomorrow. For me, I'll probably say no, 473 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised. We'll see. But they need 474 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: a jolt, They need a jolt. Let's get to the 475 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: reactions here. Let's read the chat. What have we got 476 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: here to say? Jonathan? This falls mostly on the bullpen 477 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: and of course the offense. Yeah, you know it's to me, 478 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: I look at the bullpen, you know, minus the last 479 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: few games here, the last week they've been very good, right. 480 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: I think some guys are just running into some issues. 481 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: But the one thing that's been consistent all year is 482 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: the inconsistent offense. That's kind of where I'm at. That's 483 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: where I'm at. Marco Scudro. Roman call up would inject 484 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: some life. Yeah, you know, I agree, especially after you 485 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: know Casas went down. You know, sure, Casas, like I 486 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: said earlier, thoughts some prayers, but he was still trying 487 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: to figure some things out. But in the end, though, 488 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 1: him going down the way he did, that kind of 489 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: left you feeling deflated, and you know, there were a 490 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: lot of question marks that came up after that. We'll see. 491 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: I think they do need to do something, Marco Scuterro much. 492 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: You need a day off tomorrow, recover and attack, go 493 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: on a wind streak. Rangers and Royals coming up. Hey, 494 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: the Rangers got some good pitching. Their offense has been 495 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: a little stale up to this point. So let's see 496 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: the Royals. How about the Royals today? How many home 497 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: runs were they hitting over there in Baltimore? Holy cow, 498 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: tons of home runs? The Orioles end up losing that one. 499 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: I saw Charlie Morton gave up a bomb. The Orioles man, 500 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: What the heck happened to the Oriols? And that actually 501 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: gets me to another point. This division, it's been very 502 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,239 Speaker 1: up and down. You know, the Yankees obviously, I mean 503 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: they're off to a good start this year. But I mean, 504 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: let's take a look here. I mean this division right now, 505 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's still you know, minus the Orioles. They 506 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: did they did lose today thirteen and twenty, but there's 507 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: still only six games back. I mean, we've seen plenty 508 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: of teams in the past, you know, get themselves right. 509 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: The Oriols. Their offense is shot right now. They got 510 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries. The pitching is just awful. Crazy. 511 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: Who would have thought, you know, Charlie Morton, I mean, 512 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: my goodness, this guy, you know, gets a fifteen million 513 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: dollar deal and he's been terrible. You know, he's had 514 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: a great career. But what I don't know, I think 515 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: the Orioles man. You know, you could say what you want, 516 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: maybe about the Red Sox, you know, the hitting coaches, 517 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: but something with the pitching coaches. Man, when it comes 518 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: to Baltimore, I don't know, man, the pitching stinks. It 519 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: doesn't help that they have a whole ton of injuries. 520 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: But and you know, losing Corbin Burns obviously didn't help either. 521 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: But look at the Rays, you know, fifteen and eighteen, 522 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: they're four back, Red Sox, Blue Jays, they're separated by 523 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: a game. The Yankees are nineteen and fourteen. So there's 524 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: not a whole lot of separation in this division right now. 525 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: So I will say that, Yeah, yeah, the Royals hit 526 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: six home runs today? How many of the Orioles hit 527 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: what was it? Five? 528 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 3: Four? 529 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: Crazy? George White? Didn't they have Grissom playing first Yeah? 530 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: So I saw I saw people tweeting that out today, 531 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: some of the other you know, bigger accounts out there, 532 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: and Grissom has been playing first base, and I saw people, 533 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: I saw people today tweeting about it, saying like it 534 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: was like this crazy revelation, like, yes, he's been playing 535 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: first base. I'm not trying I sound like a no 536 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: at all. That's but I thought we all had an 537 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: understand I thought most people had an understanding that he's 538 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: already been I can't talk has been playing first base. 539 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: I don't know. So I don't think it was all 540 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: that crazy that he had, you know, had a first 541 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: basement on today. But yeah, I mean, who else could 542 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: he be the answer for first base? I don't know. 543 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: Right now, he's hanging around that quick druple a territory. 544 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: I need to see von Grissom, you know, if he's 545 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: gonna come up, I need to see him go, you know, 546 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: because what you know, it's whether it's struggling or injuries. 547 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: He has just been not able to take that next step. 548 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: So we will see Robert. They literally had a dude 549 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: falling asleep at Fenway during the broadcast, did they? Oh? No, crazy, 550 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: crazy crazy Marco Scuterau. Crochet is just a dog grinds 551 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: out the outings. That's what I love, even when he's 552 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, not on top of his game. I mean, 553 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: the guy grinds, you know, and that that is showing 554 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,239 Speaker 1: a lot to me because he's proving that he's a 555 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: pitcher and not just throwing four seam fastballs all the time. 556 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: The Mighty Boston. Maybe it's time to fire the hitting coach. 557 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to do that, but I 558 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,239 Speaker 1: don't know, man, I don't know. I'd rather they just 559 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: figure it out instead of you know, firing someone or whatever. 560 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: To me, I don't want people losing their jobs. I'd 561 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: rather people just figure it out, just get it together. 562 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: I don't know, Robert. I think the most frustrating thing 563 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: is how well the offseason went and how on paper 564 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: this team should be first in the American League, but 565 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: the inconsistencies are keeping them at the five hundred team 566 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: of last season. Yeah, it is a better team than 567 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: last year, by far, a better team, but they're at 568 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: five hundred. So that tells me again. I'll get back 569 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: to it. Is this a talent thing or is it 570 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,480 Speaker 1: the people you know behind the scenes that are running 571 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: the show at the end of the day. Yes, players 572 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: got to play, but these are good players, and so 573 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: what's happening. I don't know, man, I don't know. What 574 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: do we got here? What else we got Phoenix? I 575 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: don't know about you, guys, but I'm done waiting. It's 576 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: time for Roman and Meyer to come up, make the changes. 577 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: Set he to the bench because he's the odd man out. 578 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: Campbell the first story to second Meyers short. I got 579 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: to push back on the Campbell thing. I got I can't. 580 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't do it. I can't do Campbell 581 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: at first base. I get it. I understand you want 582 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: the team to win, but there there's also a balancing act. 583 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 1: And I'm not I mean, yes, it's my opinion, but 584 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm also looking at it from the way the front 585 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,239 Speaker 1: office and the way that people in the organization look 586 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: at it as well. Christian Campbell is an uber athletic guy, 587 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 1: and for at the end of the day, front offices 588 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: they're looking at not yes, they're looking at stats, but 589 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: they're looking at how many wins that you can get. 590 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell at second base there's more upside there. There's 591 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: more ceiling there because he yes, he's had his inco 592 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: I hate using the word inconsistency now I hate can 593 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: we please? I need this team to start winning so 594 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: I can stop using that word. But Christian Campbell at 595 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: second base there is more upside there because he's a 596 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: or because second base is a high value position. First 597 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: base has a very low value position defensively, So to me, 598 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: with the athleticism that he has, I think he needs 599 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: to stay at second And if you want him to 600 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: get better at second, I think for the most part 601 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: he's been fine. He's just had a couple of little, 602 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, little slip ups. But if you want him 603 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: to get better and improve. He has to play second base. 604 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: He's not going to get better at playing second base 605 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: playing first base. I understand the team need part of it, 606 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: but to me, I think there's other ways to address 607 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: first base. For me. If I'm playing MLB the show, well, 608 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: for me personally MVP Baseball two thousand and five, I'm 609 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: putting Rafi at first base. I understand there's a personal 610 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: part of it, there's a there's a human being part 611 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: of it as well, so I think you're going to 612 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 1: have to wait on that. But if it's me, I'm 613 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: calling Rafi and being like, hey man, dude, sorry about 614 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: how everything happened at spring training with Alex Bregman. We 615 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: get it. You didn't like the commune dication aspect, but 616 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: we're communicating with you right now. We need you to 617 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: play first base. Will you do it? That is where 618 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: I think he needs to be open up. DH gets 619 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: more flexibility within the team that allows you to call 620 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: up Roman Anthony. He can split time in the outfield 621 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: and DH. That's what I'm doing personally. I mean you 622 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: could if you really let me, let me think about 623 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: this out loud, if you did Roman splitting time at 624 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 1: DH I'm probably gonna mess up somewhere here because I'm 625 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: not good at thinking on the fly. I'm a potato brain. 626 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 1: If you took if you put SETI into a bank's 627 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: utility role, that opens up center field, and then you'd 628 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: have a bray you Dran Roman. If you put Raffi 629 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: at first base, I mean that point, you could now 630 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: use d H to where I don't know, Story, Campbell, Meyer, 631 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: those guy you know, even Bregman, you could rotate that 632 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: infield into the DH spot. So in that aspect, if 633 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: you move SETI to a utility role, Raffia to first base, well, 634 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: now you've opened up a couple of spots in the 635 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: lineup to where Bregman can DH Day, Story can DH Day, 636 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: Campbell can DH day Meyer whatever you do with him. 637 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,959 Speaker 1: So if you really want to maximize the lineup, that's 638 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: what I'm doing. Raffia at first SETI love you, I 639 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: love the speed, I love the glove. But that's what 640 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: I'm doing because at the end of the day, I 641 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: need this lineup to really get going. I might sound 642 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: crazy saying that. I know. I know, I might sound 643 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: like I'm a lunatic, but I don't know. That's just 644 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: kind of the way because I want to see what 645 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: I can do to get this line up fully going. 646 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,400 Speaker 1: But right in that scenario, the only way it works 647 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: is if Raffi plays first. So I say, here's here's 648 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,719 Speaker 1: a first base. Mit, my friend, we just got this 649 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: brand new for you. We even got your name stitched 650 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: on it. Here you go, my friend, Please be the 651 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: first baseman. We need you. Please. But again, you're gonna 652 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: have to wait a little bit to even have that 653 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: conversation if it even comes up, because obviously you had 654 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: the whole you had the whole thing with Bregman at 655 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: third and whatnot. So well, thank you, Phoenix. I'm glad 656 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,240 Speaker 1: someone doesn't think it's crazy. I'm glad because I'm thinking, 657 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, I'm gonna get ripped apart for this take. 658 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: It is what it is, and Mason, maybe you can 659 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: even Here's the thing. I love SETI. I love SETI. 660 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: I love the the those little things that he brings. 661 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying defense like it's a little thing. Man. 662 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: He's so good out there, like anytime a ball goes 663 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: out to center field, I don't even worry about it. 664 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't because I know he's got it, you know, 665 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: And even if it's something like a bloop, I even 666 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: I think they have. He has more of a chance 667 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: than most center fielders out there to make a right play. 668 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: So anytime a ball is hitting that direction, I feel 669 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,840 Speaker 1: so comfortable. It's crazy. It was just like Jackie Bradley junior. 670 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: Just like Jackie Bradley. But to me, Marcos Scuter a 671 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: bad comparison. But he's kind of the brock Hole of 672 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,439 Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, I love brock Holt, really love brock Hole. 673 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it. No, I'd say it's a little 674 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: different because Seti kind of he brings you more defensive value, 675 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: where Holt he had more of that versatility where that 676 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: was his true value, right, and you know he could 677 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 1: do some things at the bat too. Seti is more 678 00:36:53,400 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: just defense and speed. So again I'll say that out loud, Rafi. 679 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 1: At first, SETI to the bench, Roman. You can work 680 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: them into the outfield at that point, and then you 681 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: rotate the infield with Meyer with the DH spot. That's 682 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: what I do. I might be crazy, maybe, but that's 683 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: what I'm doing. Everybody. I'm gonna wrap it up there. 684 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: You know, I'm thinking out loud here as we go, 685 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,919 Speaker 1: but just frustrating, and I think changes need to be made. 686 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,120 Speaker 1: I think something needs to happen. I'm I'm not asking 687 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: for anyone to get fired. I'm not asking for trades. 688 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm not asking for you know, I'm not going to 689 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,240 Speaker 1: that level. No, I just want there to be some tweaks. 690 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: I think there needs to be a little energy added 691 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: to this team. I think there needs to be some adjustments, 692 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: you know. And yet sure philosophically, behind the scenes, yeah, 693 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: I think I think there might need to be a 694 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: bit of a meeting of the minds here and think, Okay, 695 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, we gotta do something here, you know. Anyway, everybody, 696 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:06,279 Speaker 1: I'm out of here. Thank you for joining me today 697 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: for the postgame show. Pretty solid crowd here, right around 698 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 1: eighty people for the entire time. Appreciate that, everybody. I'm 699 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: out of here. We do have a day off tomorrow, 700 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: so let's decompress a little bit and let's see if 701 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: anything happens. Let's see if anything happens. Everybody, I'm out 702 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,840 Speaker 1: of here. Go have yourself a good rest of your Sunday, 703 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: enjoy it, and I'll talk to you next time.
