1 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: Light. It ever about a hello, a good win for today. 2 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: They needed that one. Garrett Crochet looking absolutely electric today. 3 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: That's what you want out of your ace when you 4 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: need a stopper, that is what you're looking for. I 5 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: know it's just the White Sox at the end of 6 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: the day, but hey, it is what it is. You're 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: doing what you can to pick up some wins, and hey, 8 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: good Win heading to Tampa a good little amount of 9 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: momentum here in my opinion, you know, not a perfect 10 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: day for the Red Sox by any means. I still 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 1: think there's a bit of work to do with the offense, 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: but I still think we saw a better day overall. 13 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: But the big story is Garrett Crochet and what an 14 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: outing for him. Had a no hitter going, had a 15 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: perfect game going at one point, but he looked absolutely 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: fantastic today. And again, I know it's the White Sox, 17 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: but hey, I mean, when you got guys like Chase 18 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: mind Draw, they're gonna give you some fits. So we'll 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: talk about that in just a little bit. But he 20 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: definitely seemed more comfortable out there today compared to his 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: last start against the Blue Jays. He just looked like 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: he was moving a bit more freely. Just he just 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: felt like he had a bit of a swagger to him, 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: a bit more of a confidence to him today. I 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: don't know, he just looked better out there today overall. 26 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there was a really simple game plan for 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Crochet today, leading with the fastball, just dominating with the 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: four seam fastball. That's his pitch. There's not really anything 29 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: you got to tinker with at that point. He led 30 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: with it. He got eleven whiffs on it on the day, 31 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: had a lot better life than it did compared to 32 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: what his last start was against the Blue Jays. He just, 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, man like, just everything about him was 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: just looking better, you know, using the cutter a good 35 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: amount on the day. But really he just pounded the zone. 36 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: That was really the key for Crochet today. He just 37 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,279 Speaker 1: attacked these guys, pounded the zone, got a good amount 38 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: of strikes, didn't really run into any issues minus that 39 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: eighth inning. Right the eighth inning, you know, really, you know, 40 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: it wasn't even him. He just kind of all kind 41 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: of started to unravel a little bit there. Luckily, Garrett 42 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: Whitlock was able to clean up the mess that he made. 43 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: Right Garrett Crochet had the no hitter. Unfortunately, old friend 44 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: Chase Mindraft breaking it up. I was watching the game 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: over on playback, and I'm thinking to myself, Man, this 46 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: is not this is not the guy that I want 47 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: to be going up against trying to secure a no hitter. 48 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: Chase Minddraft and on base fiend a guy that makes 49 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: a good amount of contacts. I felt so bad about 50 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: that matchup, and I just had a feeling the no 51 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: hitter was going to come to an end there, and 52 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: of course it did. Chase mydraft. He's going to be 53 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: a pain in the butt anytime the Red Sox gonna 54 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: go up against the White Sox in the future. But hey, 55 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: good for Chase mydraft. Man. You know, I think this 56 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: guy is gonna have a lot of sas in his 57 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: career for the White Sox. I'm glad he's getting a chance. 58 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if he'd be getting that 59 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: same chance if he was still with the Red Sox 60 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: at this point. But Whitlock, he came in the eighth 61 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: after my draft got the hit offf Crochet, Baldwin Tice, 62 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: they got the bass hits. He started to sweat a 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: little bit. At that point. I'm thinking with Whitlock. He's 64 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: throwing a lot of change ups, so I just felt 65 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: like he was being a little cute when it came 66 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: to what he was throwing. And I'm thinking to myself, Man, 67 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: your sinker, this ninety six ninety seven mine hour sinker 68 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: with the late life and the extincsion that he has. 69 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: He was getting swing and missus on it in the 70 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, first couple of abs, and it's like, why 71 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: are we throwing these change ups? You know, let's get 72 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: back to the picch that is working, And he did 73 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: that ended up going back to the sinker. He struck 74 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: out Plasios and then Vargas with the PopOut. So luckily 75 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: Whitlock was able to hold that down. But I'm gonna 76 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: be honest, I was sweating a little a little bit. 77 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, man, we've had a rough week. It's been 78 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: a rough couple of series. Let's please not blow this game. 79 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: At the end, I'm glad he got it locked down. 80 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: Chapman came in and for the ninth got his third save. 81 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: Chapman just looking like, you know what Chapman's done in 82 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: his whole career, pumping hung Jamun and are fastballs here? 83 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: You go, let's see if you can hit it. The 84 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,559 Speaker 1: White Sox had no shot. But back to Crochet, great 85 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: day again. I'll say it for the third time. I 86 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: know it's the White Sox, you know, obviously a team, 87 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, losing a record amount of games last year. 88 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: Who knows what they end up doing this year. But 89 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: in the end, that's what you want to see. He 90 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: absolutely dominated today. Eleven strikeouts and seven and a third. 91 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: He just seemed like he was in complete control the 92 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: entire time, just attacking the zone, going after hitters. He 93 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: was basically just saying, here you go, here's my fastball, 94 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: here's a cutter here and there, let's see what you 95 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: can do with it. Great day for Garrett Crochet, his 96 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: best start as a Red Sox up to this point. 97 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: I think really it was just important for him to 98 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: go out out there and have this kind of a day. 99 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: Not a great day against the Blue Jays his last 100 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: time out. He was feeling just awful. Fingers are frozen 101 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: out there. He was just doing what he could to 102 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: find his command. You know, the team's been losing some games, 103 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: hasn't been great. He just seemed like he had a 104 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: bit of an edge to him again, a bit of 105 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: a swagger to him today. He just looked like the guy. 106 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,119 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, this is why you brought 107 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: me here, this is why you gave me the big contract. 108 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you what I can do. And that 109 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: makes you excited as a Red Sox fan that you 110 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: know he has it in him to go lock it 111 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: down when you need him to. So great day. Garret 112 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: Crochet easily the player of the game, but the man, 113 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: unfortunately that gets the short end of the stick was 114 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: Trevor's story for player of the game. I mean, my goodness, 115 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: what a day for Trevor's story, three for four, home 116 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: run double, almost had another home run in when he 117 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: got the double that I thought it was out. I'm thinking, 118 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: what a perfect time here for someone to come through 119 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: with the home run. The Red Sox have now been 120 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: able to leave the yard and what feels like eight 121 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: weeks and Trevor story, he goes, opoh, I thought that 122 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: was gonna get out. I think the wind was playing 123 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: with it a little bit. I think it knocked it down. 124 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: But it was almost a two home run day for 125 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: Trevor's story. There the home run that he did hit 126 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: on a hanging breaking ball. I have said this so 127 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: many times. You cannot leave a breaking ball to Trevor's story. 128 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: You just can't. You can't leave it over the plate 129 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: for him because he's just gonna take it to town 130 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: his third home run of the year. All of them 131 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: have come off breaking balls. My goodness, Trevor story three 132 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: RBIs on the day. Hey Man story. I know a 133 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, in the early going, they're like, 134 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: oh man, we need Marcela Meyer. You know, we got 135 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: to trade Trevor story. I've been saying this from the 136 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: get go man story. If healthy, if he finally has 137 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: that consistency, this is a guy you want on your team. 138 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: A good veteran leader, a great shortstop. He's gonna play 139 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: great defense for you, and he can do some things 140 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: with the bat when he's in rhythm. You got to 141 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: remember last year. Yes he got hurt, but it was 142 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: on a freak play. The guy made a diving effort. 143 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: His shoulder just completely exploded. You know, It's like it 144 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: wasn't even like a you know, a wear and tear 145 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: kind of a thing. He just got some very bad 146 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: luck on that. So, you know, I understand it's been 147 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: kind of a long three years for story. You know, 148 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: with all the injuries that he has had, so fans 149 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: are kind of getting a little restless with him, you know, 150 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: wanting to produce. But this is the story that I 151 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: know we can have when he is right and so far, Man, 152 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 1: when you take a look at the line, he's looking 153 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: pretty good overall now hitting three to zero eight A, 154 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: three twenty eight on base a, four to seventy seven 155 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: on the slugging three homers, six dolen bases and ten 156 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: RBIs while playing great defensive shortstop. I called for a 157 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: story to have a good year. So far that is 158 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: looking pretty good. As for the offense for the day, 159 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: you know you still want to see more, right, but 160 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: that's okay. Obviously Crochet on the mound today. But you 161 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: know what, not every game is going to be, you know, 162 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: putting up eighteen runs against the Cardinals. Even when your 163 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: offense is looking better, which the offense did today, you 164 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: had a good day for Alex Bragman. He went to 165 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: for four. Now. The big story coming into the game 166 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: with the lineup was a slight change. Will your bray 167 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: you batting forth? Tristan Kassis moved down to the sixth spot, 168 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: which I think was a good move. I think that 169 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: was the right move. You know, it felt like you 170 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: needed to do something with the lineup. I didn't think 171 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: you needed to do anything drastic. We did talk about 172 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: it after the postgame or after the game yesterday during 173 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: the postgame show, and I'm thinking, you know, I don't 174 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: know if he's going to make a move. I could 175 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: see him, you know, maybe if you want to try 176 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: and build some momentum heading to Tampa, maybe you make 177 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: a slight switch with the lineup. But I didn't see 178 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: him doing anything drastic. So it was really that one 179 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: move that I was wondering about, and he did it, 180 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: and I'm glad he did it. Just felt like there 181 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: was a bit of a change in the lineup today, 182 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: had a bit of a different feel. You got nine 183 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: hits on the day. They just looked more productive, you know, sure, 184 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: and not able to come through, you know, with some runner. 185 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: You know, a couple of moments where he had some 186 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: runners in scoring position weren't able to come through. But 187 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: the line of just I think looked a little better today. 188 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: And against Shane Smith for the White Sox, this is 189 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: a guy to keep an eye out for this year. 190 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: You know, sure we're talking about you know, it's just 191 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: a White Sox, But Shane Smith is a guy that 192 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: I think could go under the radar this year. Guy's 193 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: got pretty good v Lo got some good stuff as well. 194 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: He looked pretty good today against the Red Sox. So 195 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: you know the fact that the Red Sox are able 196 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: to get nine hits overall on the day and they 197 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: were able to do some kind of damage against him, 198 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: I think that's a win. So very happy to see. 199 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: But overall, you know, again not a not a perfect 200 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: day for the offense, but a step in the right direction. 201 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think you got to keep a 202 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: bray you in the fourth spot. Let Casa sit in 203 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: the sixth spot. He did collect a hit there at 204 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: the end of the game. Will You're He ended up 205 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: getting a walk today, But I think the presence of 206 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: will You're or bray you in the cleanup spot at 207 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: least as of right now, I think is the right move. 208 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: It just, you know, with the way he's gotten started 209 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: this year, you just when William's in the box, you 210 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: feel like he could really do some damage, you know, 211 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: and I feel like Cassas he's not giving you that 212 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: same vibe. I think Willier needs to be in that spot. 213 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: Let's see how long that goes. But for the Red Sox, 214 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: good job today that you know, again, not a perfect day. 215 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: It's funny because you're what you're the last few games now, 216 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: all over the last week, you're hoping for the offense 217 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: to break through, and you finally had a lead, and 218 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: then you're just hoping at this point for the bullpen 219 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: to hang onto it. So luckily everything came together there. 220 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: But hey, not really a whole lot to talk about 221 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: to be complete the honest because Garrett Crochet basically stole 222 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: the show and the offense did enough. So hey, great 223 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: day for Crochet, great day for story. Gotta love it. 224 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: I see in the chat Danny good to change up 225 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: the lineup based on how they've been playing. Costa is 226 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: still under two hundred. Yeah, I just think you needed 227 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: to make a bit of a change, kind of go 228 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: with a different feel. They gave Costas the day off yesterday, 229 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: so they I think putting him back in into the 230 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: sixth spot today. You know whatever, it doesn't in my 231 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: opinion personally, wherever you are in the lineup, you're still 232 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, looking to obviously do some work right. 233 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: You're looking to be productive no matter where you are 234 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: in the lineup. But I think just going a little 235 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: further down because lets him breathe a little bit more. 236 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: I think costas you know, when you take a look 237 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: at the advance of extrics with him, he's still hitting 238 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: the ball pretty well. He still catch it up on 239 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: sweet spots. You know, he's the timing doesn't look off, 240 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: the quality of contact doesn't really look off. I think 241 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: it's just he's trying to get comfortable. I don't know 242 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: if he's really, you know, trying to find something mechanically. 243 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: You noticed with his stance a little bit as the 244 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: game went on, his stance he started to seem like 245 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: he was crouching down a little bit more, trying to 246 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: get more into his legs. We noticed that the other 247 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: night when he got the double. I believe what was 248 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: that the night or the eighth inning, ninth inning against 249 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: the White Sox in Game one. I don't know. I 250 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: think constess to me, it seems like a comfort kind 251 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: of a thing. I think he's just trying to get 252 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: into a rhythm. That's kind of what I'm getting. So 253 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: seeing a lot more familiar faces here in the chat 254 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: moose how you doing my friend Austin? How you doing 255 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: my friend? Hello? Polar twelve thirteen story saved the day. 256 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,680 Speaker 1: Without his hits, it might have been an extraining game. 257 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: Crochet definitely carried the team. Absolutely. It was the Crochet 258 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: story day where it was the Crochet story. I can't 259 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: think of the right word, you know what I mean. 260 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: Those guys really stepped up when it mattered most. But 261 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: what's good about this? Sure you lost the series, you know, 262 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: still got a bit of a bad taste in your mouth. 263 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: You don't like to see that, But at least you 264 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: salvage the series. Heading to Tampa. Hey, the Red Sox, 265 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: they've been playing in the cold quite a bit as 266 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: of late. But now they get to go to Florida. 267 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: They get to warm up a little bit. They get 268 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: to get the hands a little more warm, right these pictures, 269 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe get to break more of a sweat 270 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: out there Tampa. It's definitely a lot warmer in Florida. 271 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm in Florida, by the way, and I can tell 272 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: you right now it is definitely a lot warmer than 273 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: it is up north. But Game one Tanner House Shane 274 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: Boz game two, Walker Bueller, Ryan Pepio, and then for 275 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: the final game of the series against Zach Lttel unannounced 276 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: right now, remember Rick Richard and it's also unannounced for 277 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: the White Sox are coming to Femway starting on Friday, 278 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: so we're gonna see the White Sox again soon. But 279 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: remember Richard Fitz. They did say he has a PEX strain. 280 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: Remember I said this in the post game yesterday. I 281 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: said him, I was like, I think he had a 282 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: bit of a PEX strain because the way he grabbed. 283 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: He didn't like grab it his shoulder or anything. He 284 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: grabbed like they were saying he was grabbing in his armpit. 285 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: And you know, all the reporters out there and you know, 286 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: whoever else was commenting on it was saying, oh, no, 287 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: it looks like a shoulder thing. I think I might 288 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: have been the only person on the planet at least, 289 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to covering this. I think 290 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: I was the only one saying it was a peck strain. 291 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: And it was a peck strain. So I expect Richard 292 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: Fitz a guy, that's uh. I've had a couple of 293 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: PEX strains myself on good old bench press. What can 294 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: you do. But usually for me, they've been minor. They 295 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: haven't been like, you know, debilitating PEX strains, but they've 296 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: usually taken me about a week or two to come 297 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: back from. I think Richard Fitz he'll probably end up 298 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: missing a couple of starts, and I think he'll be fine. 299 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: I think three starts tops is what Fits ends up missing. 300 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: But the question it is, are they're gonna bring Brian 301 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: Beao back a little bit sooner or for the next 302 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: start in Fitz's turn through the rotation, is it going 303 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: to be a bullpen game? Now? You have Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, 304 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: and then you got Thursday off, and then you go 305 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: back to Femway on Friday. So Fits he started yesterday, 306 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: so I believe he would have he would be slated 307 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: for the opening game against the White Sox on Friday. 308 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: So I wonder, because they have the day off on Thursday, 309 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: I wonder if it ends up just being a bullpen 310 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: game that day. So it's kind of the way I'm 311 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: feeling they're gonna go. Now when it comes to the 312 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: last game against Tampa, you know, are you gonna go 313 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: with Sean Newcomb another start? I don't know. That's gonna 314 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: be that's gonna be interesting. He didn't look very good 315 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: against the White Sox, so could I guess you'd probably 316 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: go with Newcomb another another time through. That's my guess 317 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: on what they're gonna do. We'll see or do they 318 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: just could they go Brian Bao back for another outing, 319 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: So probably not Bao because I believe he just pitched yesterday, 320 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: So I think Bao would be lined up for the 321 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: first game against the White Sox. So my guess is 322 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: Newcomb gets the start and then it's either gonna be 323 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: a bullpen game or Bao against the Open or against 324 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: the White Sox for the opener. So we will see. Uh. 325 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,479 Speaker 1: Danny and the chat pex strain best news ever, Absolutely 326 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: absolutely yeah, that a pex strain. The reason though, the 327 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: best case scenario is because the peck is a large muscle, 328 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: and the bigger the muscle, the more blood flow that's 329 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: gonna get to that part of the body. So peck 330 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: strains usually clear up depending on the severity of it. 331 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: But if it's just a minor one, he'll he'll be good, 332 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: He'll he'll be feeling good in a week, a week, 333 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: two weeks tops. I think it's just a matter of 334 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: how they progress him back. But if it's just a peck, 335 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna miss too much time. I 336 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: think a couple of starts. So but yeah, those are 337 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: the games that we got for Tampa. Tanner how Walker Bueller, 338 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: and then I would imagine new Come is gonna get 339 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: game three now, boz He's off to a very good 340 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: start this year. Shane boz Man. He's been, you know, 341 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: a guy that's missed a lot of time in recent 342 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: years because he got Tommy John. But this is one 343 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: of the top prospects in the game at one point. 344 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: This guy's got nasty stuff. So far, through two starts, 345 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: he's only given up a couple of runs. He's struck 346 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: it out. He's struck out sixteen guys. Shane bos Man. 347 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: This is not gonna be an easy task. But Tanner 348 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: Howck did look good his last time out. Walker Buehller, 349 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: that was a bright side about this past week. Even 350 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: though we haven't been able to score, the pitching has 351 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: been very good. So Tanner Houck, let's if you can 352 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: carry that momentum into Tampa. Walker Buehler, his best start 353 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: as a Red Sox, look great his last time out, 354 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: but Ryan Pepio, he's pretty solid. So Tampa, the one 355 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: thing they got going for them this year is very 356 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: good starting pitching. So the Red Sox are gonna have 357 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: to keep up this offense even though, you know, not 358 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: an amazing day with the offense, but you got nine 359 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: hits on the day. They need to carry this momentum. 360 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: And it's also gonna be interesting because remember, remember we're 361 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: not we're not at Tropicana Field anymore. We're going to 362 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: Steinbrenner Field. We're going to Yankee Land over in Tampa. 363 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: So and the one thing that's been a bit noticeable 364 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: about stein Enter Field is teams are doing pretty well 365 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 1: with their offense. Right The wind is kind of playing 366 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: like a weird thing there. They're it's blowing the ball 367 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: all around there. So the the elements are gonna be interesting. 368 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: But let's see, let's see the Red Sox and get 369 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: some pop going. But how bueller, They're gonna have to 370 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: step They're gonna have to step up because Boz, that 371 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: guy's nasty. Pepio solid and Lattel too. You know, Lttel, 372 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: this is a guy that had pretty goodyear last year. 373 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: He's off to a pretty slow start this year though, 374 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: so we'll see. But everybody, let's see what you gotta 375 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: say when it comes to your reactions. I put on 376 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: Twitter to leave me your reactions and questions following the series. 377 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: What do we got here? I did post it not 378 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: too long ago. Here we go, we got Dean, We 379 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: got Dean. Happy to see Korra finally switch up the order. 380 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: That is my statement. I completely agree with you, my friend, 381 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 1: completely agree with you. I put out tweet like this 382 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: the other day I said I would like for Willier 383 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: to be up in the lineup a little bit. I 384 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: think just a simple switch like that was a big difference. 385 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: You know all, you didn't really have to do a 386 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: whole lot. You just switched Willier in causes, right, So 387 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: I completely agree, completely agree. What else we got, Marcus? 388 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: Do you think they are going to wake up now 389 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: that they are going to Tampa? I mean to be honest, 390 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: like it feels like the right time where they start 391 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: to get things going a little bit. You're going into 392 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: a warmer climate. It's a ballpark that you've been experiencing 393 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: some pretty decent offense there, you know, but you got 394 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: some good pitching. They're gonna have to go up against 395 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: so let's see. Hopefully they're waking up at the right time. 396 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: But I think the warm weather is definitely going to 397 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: be a welcome addition for the Red Sox here. They've 398 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: been playing in a lot of cold games as of late. 399 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: I guarantee these guys are so excited to get to Florida. 400 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: I guarantee it. They're probably already getting on the plane. 401 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: They're so excited to get there. So dill Core, how 402 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: you doing, my friend? How are we doing here? What 403 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: do we got? Crochet stopping skids twice? Now, that's legit 404 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: a stuff. After the eighth inning scare, I can't help 405 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: but think one more high leverage arm would be really 406 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 1: nice in this pen. Listen, that has been my prediction 407 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: for the one of my predictions for this year. The 408 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: Red Sox eventually adds something to the bullpen. You know, 409 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: whitlock you know you didn't look all that great is 410 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: last time out. I'm glad he was able to get 411 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: back out there again. Look at a little nih I 412 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 1: think with Whitlock man, just stick with that freaking sinker. 413 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: It is disgusting, you know, working those change ups a 414 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: little bit, that cutter a little bit that's fine, that's cool, 415 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: but man, stick with that sinker. It's a nasty pitch. 416 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: But I mean I agree with you. You know, when 417 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: it comes to the Red Sox, I mean, the bullpen 418 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: has been very solid overall this year. If actually would 419 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: take a look at the rankings with their bullpen up 420 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: to this point, I mean their fourth overall in fangraft 421 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: wins of replacement on the year. Now, the era, that's 422 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: what a lot of people are gonna jump to right away. 423 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: The Red Sox era for relief pitching so far this 424 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: year coming into today is a four point one one, 425 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: but the FIP is a two point eighty eight. So 426 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: they've done a great job at limiting the walks zero 427 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: point three or sorry, they've been doing a great job 428 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: at limiting the home runs zero point three home runs 429 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: per nine. I mean, if you think about I mean, 430 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: you know, you don't really now in hindsight you think 431 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: back to this bullpen over the first few weeks of 432 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: the year. They're not really giving up a lot of 433 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: long balls, you know, so they're keeping the ball in 434 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: the yard. I think they do need to get some 435 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: more strikeouts, though they're only at seven point two strikeouts 436 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: per nine. So I agree with you there. I think 437 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: there needs to be a bit more stuff in the bullpen. 438 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: Get a few more k's. I think that could go 439 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: a long way. So where are we at here? Let's 440 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: do a couple more, a couple of more here before 441 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: we wrap things up? Uh, Thomas Appy, how we doing 442 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: story in crochet? We're outstanding today? Definitely hoping the bats 443 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: will wake up more in Tampa. Like I said, hopefully, 444 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: you know, what's the what's the weather gonna be like? 445 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: What's the weather gonna be like for tomorrow? Let's see, 446 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: we have a high of well, let me hold on, 447 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: let me go, let me go to Tampa. We have 448 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,400 Speaker 1: a high of eighty three tomorrow. So I think these 449 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: guys are they're gonna be very open to that. Man, 450 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: they've been playing a lot of cold games. So what 451 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: have we got here? Brian C. Brian C. This is 452 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: an interesting one. I'll have this as the last one. 453 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: When do we start to talk about ending the Peat 454 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: Fatsy era of hitting theory? Now here's the thing I 455 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: was thinking about this last night. If you go back 456 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: to the twenty eighteen to twenty twenty one Red Sox 457 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: when you had Tim Hires as your hitting coach. You 458 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: had a lot of talent on those teams. You had Mooki, 459 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: you had Xander, you had Jad Martinez, you had Mooky 460 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: and JD in twenty eighteen. Those guys are off the charts, right. 461 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: You had a lot of good talent during those years. 462 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two to now, you've still had Raffi, you 463 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: had one year of Bogarts, you had Justin Turner. You know, 464 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: will your Cossas coming up recently, you know, so the 465 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: talent level definitely leans more to the Tim Hiers era. 466 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: I think, really, you know who's the blame? You know, 467 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: is it even really the right questions, like are blaming? 468 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: You know, teams go through skids at the end of 469 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: the day, teams are gonna go through slumps. That's just 470 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: the way it's gonna be. But I understand if you 471 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: go back over the last few years, the Red Sox 472 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: rank high up there and strikeouts and swing and miss 473 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: and Chase Ray, now they could definitely do some damage. 474 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: I mean they've definitely shown that over the years. But 475 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: you know, you look at the plate discipline numbers and 476 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: it hasn't been amazing. I think right now it's a 477 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,120 Speaker 1: wait and see. You know, this is the most talented 478 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: the Red Sox have been when it comes to the 479 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: offense since the Tim Hires era. I mean, I think 480 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: that's fair to say, especially after adding Alex Bregman. But 481 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: I think it's a wait and see. I think you 482 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: this is not the right time to be like, Okay, 483 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: hitting coach, he's gotta go all right, too early. It's 484 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: still April. Let's have to you know, if the Red 485 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: Sox are still having these problems come July August, then 486 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: I think that's a uh. I think that's a different conversation. 487 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: But let's kind of wait this out a little bit. 488 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: You know, however, got I think everyone can agree that 489 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: the tim Hires era, Holy cow, that guy had some 490 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,959 Speaker 1: bats to work with. You No, sure, we've had some 491 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: good bats over the last few years too. Let's just 492 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: see how it goes. Let's just see how it goes. 493 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: I'd say, right now, pump the brakes. We'll talk about 494 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: this in a few months, and if the Red Sox 495 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: offense is doing well well, then we'll forget we ever 496 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: even talked about this. So I'm giving that a little 497 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: bit more time. Personally, Personally, everybody I'm out of here. 498 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: Good win today, good day for Garrett Crochet, good day 499 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: for Trevor's story, good momentum heading into Tampa. Let's get 500 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 1: a series win. We need that. I think that's the 501 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: next step for the Red Sox. You've dropped a couple 502 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: of series here, maybe the offense has gone on track 503 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: a little bit. But let's go win a series. I 504 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: think we need that. And then you got the White 505 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: Sox coming back to Femway next weekend. So everybody, and then, 506 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: but everybody, here's another another bright side for this week. 507 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: They got a day off coming up this week. It 508 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: feels like eight years since we've had a day off. 509 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we actually get to have a breathe one 510 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 1: day this week. I'm pretty I'm not gonna lie. I'm 511 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: pretty excited. My back is starting to hurt a little 512 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: bit sitting in this chair so much. I'm a grandpa 513 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: over here. My hips are barking at me from sitting 514 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: down too much. I need to have a day for 515 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 1: crying out loud. Everyone, I'm out of here. Go enjoy 516 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: the rest of your Sunday. Whatever you're doing, go enjoy it, 517 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: Go rest up.
