1
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: Hi doing, everybody. Welcome to massa territory brought to you

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: by the Foul Territory Network. Final today five to one,

3
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: losing to the Baltimore Orioles. This was a series that

4
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: you should have won. In my opinion, I think this

5
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: is a very disappointing series. Five and five on the

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: home stand. I mean, let's be real here, there should

7
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: have been a I mean, at least today, you know,

8
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: a six and four home stand. You should have won

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: three out of four against this Baltimore Orioles team that

10
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: has been wildly underachieving this year. The pitching staff has

11
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: been absolutely terrible, but they made Dean Kramer look like

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: Roger Clemens today. I don't know what else really there

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: is to say. Life without Alex Bregman is settling in.

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: They have not really been able to do anything on

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: the offensive side of things the last couple of games.

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm not sure really what to say

17
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: about that. But we talked about this a little bit

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: last night. You know, we've talked about this, I feel

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: like for a while. But I think there's only one

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: thing to do, and you probably already know what I'm thinking.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: But we'll talk more about this as we get into

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: the show today. Walker Buehler, Hey, he did what he could.

23
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: He looked all right today. You know, he wasn't quite

24
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: looking as sharp as he was against the Mets the

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: last time out before he got ejected. Remember that start,

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: he was through two and a third. He had four strikeouts.

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: Up to that point, he was looking very sharp. Not today, though,

28
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: you know, he was getting ahead of hitters, but not

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: really able to put them away. I'll talk about Walker

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: Buhler here in just a little bit, and then we're

31
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: also gonna read some fan reactions as well. After every series, I,

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: if we have time, I try my best to look

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: at some reactions from all of you at home before

34
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: I go any further. Though, let's get to today's sponsor, Krats.

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let everyone in on a little secret. I

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: am not a fan of carrying around physical cash. I

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: go cash app, where you can send, receive, or transfer

38

00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: they'll be like, hey, this is a sketchy account. Are

54
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: just want to say, before Arena Club, if you were

55
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: trying to very actively buy I sell trade, it was

56
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: very complicated and used a lot of mail that was unnecessary.

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't know I even know how to do it,

58
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: but I'm glad we have Arena Club now because it's

59
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: a one stop shop for everything card related.

60
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 2: It is, and right now you can get twenty percent

61

Speaker 2: code foul. If you're a collector, you've got to check

64
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: out Arena Club, go get after.

65
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: It, and right now you can get yourself a Marcelo

66
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: Meyer twenty twenty three Bowman Megabox card, and let's be real,

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a great time if any to

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: go get yourself that card because he was one of

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: the few positives today. Had his first major league hit

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: and had a double late in the game as well

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning off of Andrew Kiddrich. Marcelo Meyer,

72
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: very good game for him today. He did make a

73
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: bit of a slip up in the field, but offensively

74
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: he got the job done here today. You know, if

75
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: you're looking at some other positives as well, Jared Duran

76
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: had a fantastic toy had to play today four for five.

77
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: Very rare that the offense doesn't really have much going

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: for them when he is at his best. Usually Jaron Duran,

79
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: when he's on top of his game, he's the straw

80
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: that stirs the drink and usually the offense follows along

81
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: with him. Again, today a rare day where Duran has

82
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 1: himself very nice day at to play, but the offense

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: can't really do much else. Carlos Durvas had a pretty

84
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: solid day today as well, two for four, but the

85
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: negatives outweighed the positives today. Raphael Devers right. I mean,

86
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: he's been red hot, so it's like, you know, it

87
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: feels weird even getting onto him a little bit, not

88
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: exactly getting onto him, but he was quiet today. The

89
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: Oriols did a good job holding him down, but they

90
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: wasted a lot of opportunities today. They were one for

91
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: six with runners in scoring position multiple times. The Red

92
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: Sox just couldn't get anything going. They got off the

93
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: good starts, but they just couldn't really seem to, you know,

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: keep the momentum going and finish the job. Third inning,

95
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: Jaron durand Narvaias had base hits, but then Christian Campbell,

96
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: who has been swinging the bat a little better over

97
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: the last couple of games, he stranded them. Fourth inning,

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Abraham Toro, he's been pretty solid as of late. He

99
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: had a double, but then Hamilton Sedam Raphaela, he's they

100
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: stranded him. Fifth inning, Jared Durant lead off bass hit,

101
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: but then Raffi going into the double play. You know.

102
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Ninth inning, the game was pretty much lost at that point.

103
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: Marcelo Meyer had the double, which I think was very good,

104
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: not just because he got a double, but it was

105
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: off the slider. If you go back to his major

106
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: league debut last night against the Orioles. He was getting

107
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: owned by sliders, low and away sliders. He just couldn't

108
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: figure it out, but made the adjustments. Today. He found

109
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: one that was a bit of a mistake pitch, and hey,

110
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: he drove it into the gap. Look good. You know.

111
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: Even the first hit that he had in the game,

112
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: just a nice opposite field base hit. Just a nice

113
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: hard single there. You know, the bat of Marcelo meyer

114
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: it showed today and he's got that smooth swing from

115
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: the left side, Marcella meyer Man. Hopefully he can keep

116
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: things going here, hopefully because they're gonna need him. With

117
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman out Toro, he had the base hit right

118
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: after him that made it five to one. Gotta give it,

119
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of credit here to Abraham Torro.

120
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: When he was first brought in. You're thinking, all right,

121
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be you know another you know, Dom

122
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: Smith kind of a guy. You know, he'll fill in,

123
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, do what he can hold his own. But

124
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: he's been doing pretty well for the Red Sox. Give

125
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: him a lot of credit. But listen, you are witnessing

126
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: life without Alex Bregman. Right before your eyes. They've only

127
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: scored a couple of runs here over the last couple

128
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: of games since he's gone down. Sure, they had the

129
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: offensive outburst early in the series, but you're gonna have

130
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: to figure something out here without Bregman. This is a

131
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: big bat that you're missing right in the middle of

132
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: your lineup. It just felt like they were just it

133
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: was very obvious as you were missing Bregman here. You know,

134
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: Carlos Nervas sure doing what he can. You know he's

135
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: been doing pretty well lately, but you can't count on

136
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: Raffi to just put the team on his back, right,

137
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, this is why. This is why Bregman another

138
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: reason why Bregman was so valuable in this lineup, right,

139
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: giving protection for Raffi Devers. So you're gonna have to

140
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: figure something out here until Bregman comes back. And this

141
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 1: is why I think you got to call it Roman Anthony.

142
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: And no, I'm not expecting Roman Anthony to come and

143
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: save the day. I'm not. I'm not at all to me,

144
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't need Roman Anthony to set the world on fire.

145
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: I just feel like you need to have one more

146
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: bat in this lineup to help stabilize things. At least

147
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: give you a bit more length in this lineup, and

148
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, see what you know, will you or bray

149
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: you Carlos Nervias can do in the three and four

150
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: spots behind Raffi and then at least further down the lineup,

151
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: at least you've got more quality bats there. Again, I'm

152
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: not expecting Roman Anthony to come up and you know,

153
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: hit fifty homers. That's not what I'm saying. Just to

154
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: give you some more quality at bats. You know, get

155
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: on base, you know, do what you gotta do. And

156
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: here's the lineup that I think needs to happen. I'm

157
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: kind of going back and forth with this a little

158
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: bit on what I think needs to be the lineup

159
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: moving forward. But this is what I've come down to.

160
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: Jaron Duran playing center field, leading off, Raffi still batting

161
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 1: second at DH. Will You're playing right field, batting third,

162
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: Carlos Nirvias in the cleanup spot. I think at this

163
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: point Nervias, especially right now, he needs to be somewhere

164
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: around here. Right he's been hitting great lately. I think

165
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: having him either in the three or fourth spot, that's

166
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: where he needs to be right now. Roman Anthony call

167
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: him up Batham fifth. That's what I think needs to

168
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: happen here. This guy just hit a ball right around

169
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen miles an hour in yesterday's game

170
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: for a home run to lead off the game. You

171
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: need that kind of a bat. You need some thump

172
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: in this lineup. Again, No, I don't think he's gonna

173
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: be able to replace Alex Bregman. I think that's silly

174
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: to expect of a guy just coming up. But I

175
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: think he gives you that thump, he gives you that presence.

176
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: He's a guy that can do some damage. So I'd

177
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: have him bat fifth. Chris Can Campbell, Yes, he has

178
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: been scuffling for a little while, but I still have

179
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 1: him batting six, playing at second base for Roman back

180
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: to him. I have him playing left field Marcella Meyer.

181
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: I have him batting seventh, playing shortstop, Abraham Toro at

182
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: first base, batting eighth, Nick Sogard batting third base in

183
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: the nine hole. Now you might be thinking, all right, well,

184
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: where's Sedame Rafaela, where's Trevor's story? Where are these guys?

185
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: I Sadame Rafaela out of the lineup? Are you kidding me?

186
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I completely understand the defense the speed

187
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: of Sadame Rafaela, but I think right now, until Bregman

188
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: comes back, the offense needs to be prioritized and dut

189
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: Jared Duran out in center field. I don't think that

190
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: is a bad idea. I mean, Jared Duran has shown

191
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: just going back to last year, he can play some

192
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: good defense out in center field. Sure, is he maybe

193
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: more comfortable out in left field, Yeah, you can argue that,

194
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: But I think right now, to make up for the

195
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: loss of Bragmann, I think Duran out in center field,

196
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: I think should be able to hold it down defensively,

197
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: at least for the time being. And again, if you

198
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: go look at the numbers from Duran out in center

199
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: field last year, they're very good. So that's what I

200
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: think right now. I think you just need to prioritize

201
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: the offense right You need to get as many bats

202
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: into this lineup as possible, and I think Duran can

203
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: do fine out in center field at the very least. Now.

204
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Trevor's story, I think, right now the best option Trevor story.

205
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are going to be

206
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: out there saying, oh, he needs to be DFA listen,

207
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: he's been ice cold. I get what you know. People

208
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: saying that do the Red Sox do that, I don't

209
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: think they do. I mean, that's a different conversation. That's

210
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: a lot of money to DFA. The Red Sox have

211
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: done it before with guys like Pablo Sandoval. The Red

212
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: Sox they look at Trevor's Story differently though than Pablo Sandoval.

213
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: Trevor Story, this is a guy that they love having

214
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse. They look at him as like a

215
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: veteran leader of the team, you know, despite not hitting

216
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: very well. So a part of me thinks they don't

217
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: DFA him. But as I always say, never say never.

218
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe that happens, you never know. But Trevor Story,

219
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: I think, at least as of right now, when you

220
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: look at the numbers, he does hit well against left

221
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: handed pitching. I would right now put Trevor Story on

222
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: the bench and save him against the lefties. That's what

223
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: I think. And then for Sidan Rafaela, I think right

224
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: now he just needs to be in a utility role,

225
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, getting into the lineup in different ways. Outfield,

226
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, center field, you know some days, Duran you know, however,

227
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: it may shake out, you know, Duran goes some plays,

228
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: left Roman on the bench or whatever it may be.

229
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: But Seti, I think right now needs to go to

230
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: the bench. He's been not very very good offensively here

231
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: for a good couple of weeks. You know, he got

232
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: hot there for a little bit. But I think for Seti,

233
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: right now, I think the bench is probably the best

234
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: place for him because right now, guys like Abraham Toro,

235
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: they're hitting a lot better. Nick Soguard's been doing pretty

236
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: well with the bat lately, but he's a guy that

237
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: can play third base. I think this is what the

238
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: lineup needs to be, and I think Roman needs to

239
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: come up again. I'm not asking him to save the day,

240
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: and I don't think he's batman by any means. I'm

241
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: not saying, you know, flash the Romans signal into the sky.

242
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: But I think right now, with the type of hitter

243
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: he is, the quality of at bats that he's going

244
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: to give you the guys on base percentage just through

245
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: the roof down in Triple A right now, you need

246
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: that up at the major leagues. To me, I just

247
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: don't think it makes a lot of sense to keep

248
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: that quality of an offensive player down in the minors.

249
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: It just makes no sense to me, especially when you

250
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: need offense. This offense is so inconsistent it's it feels

251
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: like I'm beating a dead horse at this point. How

252
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: many times have I said the word inconsistent on this

253
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: postgame show. I've said it a million times. You got

254
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: to do something here, you gotta find some stability and listen,

255
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: you know, we'll get to some of the fan reactions

256
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: here in a little bit. There's a couple that I

257
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: read that I do want to dive into, but that

258
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: I think are interesting. Well, that gets me. It goes

259
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: a little further with the offense than just the players.

260
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: I'll get to that in just a little bit. But again,

261
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: you saw it before your own eyes today. The offense.

262
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 1: They were already in need of something before because they

263
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: were so up and down. But now without Bregman, you know,

264
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,319
Speaker 1: one of your best players. You gotta do something. You

265
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: gotta do something now, h Walker Bueller on the day.

266
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: You know, Walker was fine, you know, listen, you know

267
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: better from you know than what we've seen from Brian Beow,

268
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: Hunter Dobbins. But you know it was weird because Bueller

269
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: the first batter of the game Jackson Holiday, I'm thinking,

270
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: all right, he's looking good, you know, all right, looking

271
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: like a good Bueller day. And then after that he

272
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: just you saw him getting into these high pitch counts.

273
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: He was getting ahead of hitters, but he wasn't able

274
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: to put them away. He was playing with a lot

275
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: of different pictures today. It just seemed like he couldn't

276
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: find that one out pitch to really get him out

277
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: of things right again. You know, many times he saw

278
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: like o two counts, one two counts, but just not

279
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: getting guys to chase out of the zone. That there

280
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: was a bit of a difference when it came to

281
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: the spin rates on the pictures today. So I do

282
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: wonder if that was something where the Orioles started picking

283
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: him up a little bit. You know, fourth inning he

284
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: had the sack fly to Arius, they made it, won nothing.

285
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: Fifth inning, Dylan Carlson had the home run. Dylan Carlson,

286
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: for crying out loud, this guy hasn't really done all

287
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: that much at the major league level, former top prospect,

288
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: but when he plays the Red Sox, he just comes live.

289
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what is happening with Dylan Carlson against

290
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. But there were also talks today. You know,

291
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: Walker Buehler, should he have stayed out there for the

292
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: sixth inning? You know, same thing you know with Gare Crochet.

293
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: Eighty five pitches and then Walker Buhler comes out of

294
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: the game. I think there was an argument to leave

295
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: Bueller in for a little longer. I understand it, right,

296
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: he is coming back from the shoulder issues, so they

297
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: don't necessarily, I think, want to go crazy. But I

298
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: think there was an argument for him to stay out there,

299
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, despite getting into a little trouble in the

300
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: fourth and the fifth innings, so you know, they went

301
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: with Weisert. But listen, no matter when Weiser comes into

302
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: the game, it's just I don't feel comfortable with it,

303
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: whether if it's you know, command or he just doesn't

304
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: his best stuff that day. I just feel like Weisser

305
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: right now, he's not giving you a whole lot of confidence.

306
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: And the bullpen has been worked very heavily over the

307
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: last couple of days here, you know. And then Weiser

308
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: came in, gave up the home run there, made a

309
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: three to nothing. Hendrix had the clean seventh inning, and

310
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: then Zach Kelly he got called up today, Luis Guerrero

311
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: got optioned back down. You had the gunner Henderson walk O'Hearn.

312
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: He had a deep drive to write center and this

313
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: is where some bad defense came up right SETI had

314
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: a bit of a bobble out there, ended up making

315
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: a bad throw to the cutoff man, Marcella Meyer, and

316
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: it bounced off the runner. And this is where Meyer

317
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: he tried to I think, maybe do a little bit

318
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: too much. He went and grabbed it, he threw the third,

319
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: ended up throwing it away, so then he ended up

320
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: coming around to score. They made it five nothing at

321
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: that point. Again we mentioned it earlier. Meyer had the

322
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: double in the ninth inning off the slider and then

323
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: at Toro had the base hit to make it five

324
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: to one. But the game was pretty much lost at

325
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: that point. You know, just it's one of these things, man,

326
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: where just you know, you could get you know, some

327
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: decent pitching from Viueler, but then you know the offense

328
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything, and then you know the bullpen slips

329
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: up a little bit. You know, there's times where the

330
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: offense can step up and then the pitching is not

331
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: really doing all that much. You know, this team is

332
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: just not firing on all cylinders. And I've said this before.

333
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: Something just feels off with this team because you look

334
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: at the talent, you look at the players they have,

335
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: and they're just not getting the job done. And it's

336
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm at a loss in a way

337
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: where it's getting a little tiring having to have the

338
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: same old conversation every single night, But it is what

339
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: it is. Now let's get to some of the fan

340
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: reactions here. So I had a couple of comments. I

341
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 1: post this on Twitter. If if you ever want to

342
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: try and get onto the show, I'll post this on

343
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: Twitter and then I pick usually a couple and then

344
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: I'll read them out loud. Here we got here the

345
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: run in Red Sox. Let's take a look here, he says, here,

346
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: canad of the Red Sox do anything better than play

347
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: five hundred baseball? All I see is people talking about

348
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: the players. Let's talk about the coaching staff. They've been

349
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: five hundred since twenty eighteen. This is pitiful, and honestly,

350
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't understand how I've kept this fan base engage

351
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: to this point. Now. This is I think I think

352
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: it's a fair question. I think it's very fair because

353
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: at this point. You know, we're just about the past

354
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: Memorial Day. You're under five hundred. You had a good,

355
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: a very good offseason. You brought in your new ace,

356
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet. You brought in one of the top players

357
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: in baseball on Alex Bregman. You've got young talented players

358
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: in Christian Campbell, right, and yes, they are going to

359
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: go through their adjustments. You know, Marcella Meyer just coming up.

360
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: You know there's talent on this team. You know, you

361
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: also brought him Walker Bueller. You beefed up the bullpen.

362
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: Good looking team. A lot of people picking this team

363
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: to at least make a run into the American League

364
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: Championship Series. So you have the talent, and sure you

365
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: lose someone like Tristan Cassas, but you know, even with Cassas,

366
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: and you know, again, hope that hope he's doing great.

367
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: You know, I hope everything is, you know, going okay

368
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: for him right now. I hope, I hope the rehab

369
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: is off to a good start. But he wasn't off

370
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: to a great start before that. He was still trying

371
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: to find his way, remember that. So you just wonder,

372
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, this is a talented team, why aren't they

373
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: taking off, and I start to wonder a little bit. Now,

374
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be like the Boston radio guys at

375
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: the Sports Hub, like you know, uh Felder and Maserati,

376
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna say, like, you know, Alex Cora needs

377
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: to be fired. I'm not gonna be on that on

378
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: that train. But you do wonder is there something philosophical

379
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: going on with this team? You know, is there is

380
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: the approach not the right approach? Or are they just

381
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: not making the adjustments game to game? You know, I

382
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: don't know. You look at someone like Dean Kramer today,

383
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: who who took the ball for the Orioles. This is

384
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: a guy that had an era in the mid fives.

385
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: This is a guy that had a fip in the

386
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: high fours. Why are we making Dean Kramer look like

387
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: Roger Clemens out there? Why this is a guy that

388
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: you should be taken to town, even without Alex Bregman,

389
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: you should be able to do something against Dean Kramer.

390
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. Man. You know, it's

391
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: funny because he was leading today with a pretty soft splitter.

392
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: You could basically call it a change up right. It

393
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: was like an eighty two eighty three mile an hour splitter,

394
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: and the Red Sox can do anything against this pitch

395
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: all day. You know, sure, he's got that fastball, he's

396
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: he's okay at changing speeds. He's gonna throw that mid

397
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 1: nineties fastball and then he'll come in with that splitter.

398
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: And the Red Sox they're just hacking away at this

399
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: fastball today and they couldn't do anything against this splitter

400
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: for the most part. Just they looked off balance all day,

401
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: and you know that, Just it's like, why are they

402
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: able to figure something out against Trek's scubel who looked

403
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: amazing today for the Tigers. By the way, what do

404
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: you have thirteen strikeouts at a complete game? They can

405
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: get to him, but he can't get to Dean Kramer. Listen,

406
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: I get it, it's gonna be two different things going on.

407
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: But why can't this team hit a guy that has

408
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: a mid five el right, a high four fip Why

409
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: and I see you in the chat eye Phoenix scooball

410
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: hit one O three on the final picture of the game.

411
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: Why are the Red Sox able to get to him?

412
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: But Dean Kramer that tells me, I don't know, man, Listen,

413
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: sure no Bregman, but that shouldn't matter. I just think,

414
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, and I get it. You know, Campbell, he's

415
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: still trying to find his way a little bit. But

416
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: there's no excuse for this. And that's why I wonder,

417
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: is there something you know when it comes to the

418
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff, Is there something where you know via approach

419
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: that they're taking. I don't know the answer to that.

420
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but

421
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the results and I'm seeing that you're

422
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: not able to do anything against Dean Kramer, and that

423
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: to me, I just think, you know, people will probably say, oh,

424
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: they're not fully dialed in against weaker pictures. I don't

425
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: think it's that. I just think it's once again, you

426
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: just it's like you try to take this same approach.

427
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Like honestly, the way they were swinging the bats today,

428
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: it was kind of like how they were going up

429
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: against guys like scooball, you know, these top tier guys,

430
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: and I don't know, like they just don't. You go

431
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: back to the Mets series when Ramon Vasquez took over,

432
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: it just looked like, you know, sure, they weren't putting

433
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: a ton of runs on the board, but they're putting

434
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: the ball in play. They were moving runners over getting

435
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: the sack fly. And then today you're just trying to

436
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: hit moonshots all day. You're trying to, you know, go

437
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: up against the v lo and hammer it out of

438
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: the park. But then eighty two eighty three mile an

439
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: hour splitter, you can't do anything with it. I don't know,

440
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: it just feels it feels like they just not playing

441
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: good situational baseball against all pitching. You know, if you

442
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: want to go for that go big or go home

443
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: mentality against these guys like Scooble, Okay, fine, do what

444
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: you gotta do against a guy like that, But against

445
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: these guys that you should be able to just drive

446
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: out of the game by the third inning, it just

447
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: feels like something's wrong there. Approach wise, mentality wise, That's

448
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: what I'm getting, And that's why I find this common interesting. Again,

449
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh, the whole

450
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff needs to be fired, right, because really, what

451
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: good is that gonna do at this point anyway, But

452
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: then again, you know, I don't know. I think something

453
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: needs to change. And even though yeah, I'm sitting here

454
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: saying Rome and Anthony needs to get called up. Really

455
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: listen everyone, you know, not just the players, but I

456
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: think the coaching staff they need to come together here.

457
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: They need to I think look at them, look at

458
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: themselves in the mirror, and try to figure something out. Now,

459
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: we do have the Milwaukee series coming up here, and uh, listen.

460
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: You know, we could sit here and complain about the

461
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: split against the bad Orioles team, but the show goes on,

462
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Garrett Crochet back on the mound, I

463
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: would imagine after the reaction they got with the eighty

464
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: five pictures his last time out, I would imagine Garrett Crochet,

465
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna let this guy go to work. He's

466
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: one of the best pictures in baseball up to this point,

467
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: going up against Chad Patrick on the Brewers. He's been

468
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: pretty underrated this year. So just because you know, you

469
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: might not have heard this name before, he's been holding

470
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: his own. He's been doing a pretty solid job. His

471
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: last time out didn't go as deep into the game,

472
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: but he went up against the Orioles and you know,

473
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: hey held him one run, four hits, four and two

474
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: thirds innings. So but overall, he's been a pretty solid

475
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: guy for the most part. When it comes to Chad Patrick,

476
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna go with a cutter. He's gonna go with

477
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: a fastball as well. He's got a sinker that he

478
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: throws in. He's got a change up, so you're gonna

479
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: see a decent amount of v low and not really

480
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: get anything crazy. Right around ninety four miles an hour

481
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: on average. But this is a guy he's gonna work

482
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: in different movements. The cutter, he's gonna work in the sinker, right,

483
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna go a little off speed as well, doesn't

484
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: go off speed a lot. This is where I could

485
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: maybe see the Red Sox, you know, kind of like

486
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: that go big or go home approach. Maybe they try

487
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: to get some things done here against Chad Patrick. You know,

488
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: when it comes to off speed pitches, they don't do

489
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: very well. If actually the Red Sox, I believe, are

490
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: a bottom five team when it comes to offense against

491
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: change ups. When it comes to run value against change ups,

492
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: they're a bottom five team. So he doesn't throw them

493
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: a lot five percent of the time. So this is

494
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: where I think the Red Sox they could have themselves

495
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: a good match up here. We'll see mcgarrett Crochet. I'm

496
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: expecting him to take the ball and try to lead

497
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: this team to victory tomorrow, and I fully expect him

498
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: to do so. This is your stopper. This is the

499
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: guy every fifth day that takes the ball and says,

500
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: all right and put the team on my back. So

501
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: let's see if the Red Sox and get back to

502
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: five hunction tomorrow. Everybody, I'm gonna wrap it up right there.

503
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: You know, frustrating series. Sure, you know you had some

504
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: good moments. You know you had to walk off, you

505
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: had the nineteen runs, you had the Marcella Meyer call up,

506
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: but frustrating moments as well. Let's see what they can

507
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: do against the Brewers tomorrow. That game's on right around

508
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: two o'clock Eastern time tomorrow. We'll be back here tomorrow

509
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: for the postgame coverage. I'll see you then,
