1 00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: Welcome about the territory. Ladies and gentlemen. Listen. I know 2 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: I wore the red jersey yesterday, but we can't take 3 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: off the red jersey at this point. They're looking great 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: in these red jerseys. They better keep wearing these things 5 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: because this Red Sox team, they're looking rather good here 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: over the last couple. Pick up another series win, and hey, 7 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's amazing what a week can do. Right. 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: It was all doom and gloom just a week ago 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: going to that Brewers series. We were talking about firing 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: the whole coaching staff, selling the team, get rid of 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 1: everyone on the team. It was the worst days ever 12 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: in Boston. But here we are feeling a lot better. 13 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: Back to back series wins. Red Sox win today, final 14 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: score nine to three. They improved to six and nine. 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,319 Speaker 1: I know that's still a losing record, but you know what, 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: if I'm looking at the standings here, the Yankees lose 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: again today. They had a tough time at the trop 18 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: this past weekend. The Rays and the Yankees eight and seven, 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: the Orioles eight and seven as well, the Blue Jays. 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: They've been struggling as of late. But the Red Sox 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: they're waking up here over the last week or so. 22 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: They're now tied with the Blue Jays, two back in 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: the division. Obviously, it's very early, but hey, that looks 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: way better than what it looked like a week ago. 25 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: So things are feeling pretty good. How about the offense 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: here today? Waking up yet again, I don't want to 27 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: say waking up. They've been awake here for the last 28 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: couple of days. Dustin May looked like Paedro Martinez the 29 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: other night, but the Red Sox they've been looking like 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: Manny and David Ortiz the last couple of days. Another 31 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: double digit hit day today. They only struck out four times, 32 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: walk three times on the day. Everyone in the lineup 33 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: today had a hard hit ball, had a ball hit 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: over ninety five miles an hour. Everyone except SETI lineup 35 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: was looking really good here today. Huge day for Wilson Contreres. 36 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: Trevor Story, Wilson got it started hit today, got it 37 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: started here today. It didn't matter that the nests and 38 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: cameras weren't really working here today. He still hit a 39 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: home run, drove in three. Trevor Story, with four hits 40 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: on the day, had to double a couple of ribbies. 41 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 1: Jared Duran. I said this last night. I was saying, listen, Duran, 42 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: he's been hitting the ball harder over the last few games. 43 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: Think you might be seeing Duran waking up here, might 44 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: be getting himself into a very good groof. Let's see 45 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: what the next week brings. He had a double here today, 46 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: three ribbis, A big, big day for the line up 47 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: here today, big day for those guys. And I think 48 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: the biggest difference with the Red Sox lineup is minus Roman. 49 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: He's been man. He just can't seem to get himself 50 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: on track. He's had some hard to hit balls, but 51 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: a quiet day for Roman overall. But I think the 52 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: biggest key has simply been right this middle of the order. 53 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: You know, they've been getting some stuff done, you know. 54 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: And Caleb Durban, I know he's still trying to get 55 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: himself on a roll. But the guy's finding way to gain, 56 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: finding ways to get on base. He's drawing walks and 57 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: he's getting hit by pictures. He's doing whatever he's got 58 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: to do to get on base, you know. So Durban, 59 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: while the batting average the ops might not look amazing 60 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: right now, he's taking pictures. He's being a bit of 61 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: a dirt dog out there. I'll give it to him. 62 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: Hopefully we see those numbers start to improve a little 63 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: bit more though, But you're seeing Duran Wilson william Story, 64 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: the guys in the middle, they're bringing some thump there. 65 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: And that's the biggest difference that I'm seeing with this 66 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: lineup here. Over the last week or so, they're getting 67 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: the job done, whereas that first week week and a 68 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: half they were scuffling out of the gate. But they 69 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: got a big day here from Brian Bayo Brian Bao 70 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: Man oh Man finally got himself a good start here today. 71 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: And I talked about this yesterday after Rangers start. Look 72 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: like they just needed a couple of starts to get 73 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: themselves right. I've mentioned it a few times. You had 74 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: the WBC. I mean, that's not a normal spring, you know, 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: that's not the ramp up that guys are used to having. Obviously, 76 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: you know the WBC. It's happens every few years. You know, 77 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: all the power you know to those guys that want 78 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: to go compete, But like I've said, it's gonna mess 79 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: with your ramp up a little bit, and looks like 80 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: those guys getting a couple of starts under their belts. 81 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: That's really been the big difference here. Beao was very solid. 82 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: Here today Vlo looked better. Stuff looked a little better. 83 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: He just looked a little bit more crisp out there today. 84 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: He just looked a bit more relaxed out there. Stuff 85 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: had a little bit more movement. The sinker today looked 86 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: very good. He leaned into that sinker a lot here today. 87 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: We'll get into the numbers in just a second, but overall, 88 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: the starting pitching for the Red Sox over this last 89 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: turn has been very good. Right under thirty innings, pitch 90 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 1: twenty nine to two thirds, they've only given up five 91 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: runs over the last five starts. That's an era of 92 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: a one point five to two That's what we were 93 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: hoping for coming into this year. Good pitching, and obviously 94 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: on paper it looked fantastic. Well, you're seeing the potential 95 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: of this pitching staff. Sure you know. The Cardinals, Yeah, 96 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: they're going through a bit of a retool here. Let's see, 97 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: you know how they end up doing this year. Sure 98 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you can you can point that out right, 99 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: but you take a look at what they did against 100 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: the Brewers, right, good pitching showed up against a good team, 101 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, a pesky offense over there. Pitching looked very 102 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: good over the last week or so, good day, good weekend. 103 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: Didn't get it, didn't get off to the start we 104 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: were hoping for against Dustin May. It is what it is. 105 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: Back to back series wins. That's all you're hoping for 106 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: at this point, you know, Yeah, would you love to 107 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: see the Red Sox rattle off ten straight wins, twenty 108 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: straight winds, fifty straight wins. Of course you would. But hey, 109 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: you know what you're du You dug yourself into a hole. 110 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: Let's just climb out of it here now. As for 111 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: digging yourself out of a hole, nesson, we have got 112 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: to get the cameras right. I don't know what was 113 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: going on there today. I feel very bad for, you know, 114 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: the crew that was at work today. But man, oh man, 115 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened very beginning of the game 116 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: that it looked like they were filming from the dugout. 117 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: I don't know what was going on. They didn't catch 118 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: Jordan Walker's home run today. Apologies on behalf of the 119 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: Red Sox camera crew and they just had it had 120 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: a couple of technical difficulty messages throughout the day. I 121 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: don't know what was going on nesson here today. Hopefully 122 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: they get themselves right. They're on the road, they're going 123 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: to Minnesota. Hopefully they get that right. But for the 124 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: Red Sox, it was a good day. Let's get into 125 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: it here. Let's get into it.

We 134 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: got the good pitching from BeO to talk about here today, 135 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: and we'll preview the Minnesota series coming up this coming week. 136 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: Let's get to it here. We do have a word 137 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: from our sponsor later on in the show. We'll talk 138 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: about them just a little bit, but let's talk about 139 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: this offense to start things off. This offense looked very 140 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: good here today. Like I said, you had a lot 141 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: of guys getting some hard hits today and the offense. 142 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean, as soon as Wilson hit the home run 143 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: there in the beginning, you just felt good about the 144 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: offense here today, Durbin got hit by the pitch. Like 145 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: I said, you know, not a lot of you know, 146 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: when you look at the stat sheet, when you look 147 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: at the batting average, if you go take a screen 148 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: shot of his MLB stat page, batting average doesn't look great, 149 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: ops doesn't look great. But he's finding ways to contribute. 150 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: And hey, if that means that, you know, he's got 151 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: to get hit by a pitch. He's got to take 152 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: one for the team, and hey, so be it. The 153 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: guy's doing what he can. But then Wilson follows up 154 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: with the home run that made it to nothing. He 155 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: worked the count full. You know, Palante, you know, not 156 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 1: a bad pitch, and it was a sinker was going 157 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: down and a way. But Wilson, man, he just he 158 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: just got into that one home run debt center that 159 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: made it to nothing. You had a chance to add 160 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: on a lot more in the second inning there, story Meyer, 161 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: they had a base hit SETI he got hit by 162 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: a pitch again. Have you been noticing that with the 163 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: opposing pictures lately, they've been going inside on SETI quite 164 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: a bit. Well, that's because the guy's been hot. He's 165 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: been hitting really well. They're trying to make him uncomfortable 166 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: up there, so SETI, Hey, he's got to make some adjustments. 167 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: But Roman, he comes up, you're hoping for a big 168 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: knock there again. Roman, he's been quiet here over the 169 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: last week and a half or so. Got the ground 170 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: out that did score a run in the end. That's 171 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: all you ended up adding on in the third inning there, 172 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: or sorry, in the second inning. Hopefully Roman starts to 173 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: get going a little bit more. Taking a look at 174 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: the final line for Roman here today, you know, going 175 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: zero for five at the top of the order. Yeah, 176 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: sure he had had the ribby right there. But you're 177 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: open for a little bit more from Roman. Hopefully he 178 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: gets himself right. Fourth inning, this is when you started 179 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: adding on here. Wong said he had base hits. Roman 180 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: did have the hard hit ball there he lined out, 181 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: but then Durman coming up with the walk. Here comes 182 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: Duran clears the bases with a double that made it 183 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: six to one. Wilson adding on another base hit, another 184 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: RBI that made it seven to one. You added on 185 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more. In the ninth inning, Duran Willi're 186 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: drawing the walks. A wild pitch moved him over. Trevor 187 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: Story finishing his day in a wonderful way. Had a 188 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: double that made it nine to three at the time, 189 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: and that was more than enough offense for Brian Bayo. 190 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: Here today, let's go back to Bayo's page. Bao just 191 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: looked really good. And again the thing that stood out 192 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: to me was just the v lo and this stuff. 193 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: He just looked a bit more crisp out there today. 194 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: Stuff was coming out of the hand a lot better. 195 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: Just looked a little bit, a little bit more free 196 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: and easy. Just looked like he had a good feel 197 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: on the ball here today. Last time against Milwaukee, forty 198 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: percent sinkers, but today he went fifty five percent on 199 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: the sinkers. He pounded the zone with it, got a 200 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: lot of groundouts, he pitched the contact. That's what we 201 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: saw from Bail last year. You know, I think that's 202 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: the bail you gotta lean into. You know, sure, would 203 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: we love to see more swing and miss. Would we 204 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: like to see more strikeouts, of course, but that's the 205 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: bread and butter of Brian Bao, you know, just really 206 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: lean into those sinkers, man, mix in the cutters, mix 207 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: in the off speed a little bit, you know, get 208 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: some breaking picches going. But I really think that's you know, so, 209 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: I think that's what Bao's got to do moving forward here. 210 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: It's a good sinker when it's on, it's a good pitch. 211 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: And obviously you could see from the results today he 212 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: only had a couple of strikeouts. He got one of 213 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: the sweeper, one of the cutter. But uh, that sinker 214 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: looked very good with him today. First inning, shout out 215 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: to SETI made a great dive and grabbed or rob 216 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: jj Weatherholt got a couple of groundouts as well. Did 217 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: give up the home run to Jordan Walker in the 218 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: second inning. Then he struck out Nolan Gorman on a 219 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: cutter down and in and then or sorry was the 220 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: Jordan Walker's home run came in the third I apologize. 221 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: What was funny about that? Well, again, this was another 222 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: technical issue from Nessen. It's so funny because like they 223 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: just zoomed in on Bail after the home run and 224 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: he's thinking, man, how do they how do they hit 225 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: that one? Well, I hate to break it, see you, 226 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: mister Bao. But when you leave a breaking ball just 227 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: hanging in the middle of the plate and as hot 228 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: as Jordan Walker's been, yeah, he's gonna go to lunch 229 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: on that one. So I thought the reaction from Bao 230 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: was kind of funny, and the nesson cameras didn't really 231 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: help him out in that situation. But then he bounced 232 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: back in the fourth inning, had a one two three 233 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: fifth inning, he walked Urius for Mean, had a base hit, 234 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: but then he gets a good double play there, got 235 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: Victor Scott to ground out, just kept things going. He 236 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: didnt give up a sack fly in the sixth inning 237 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: to Gorman that made a six to two. After a 238 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: couple of base hits from Walker and Burlson, I walked 239 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: to Herrera as well. But then the seventh inning got 240 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: a struck out struck out for Mean, so Hasey got 241 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: the ground out. Victor Scott with the bass hit did 242 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: end his day. Danny Colombe came in after that, but overall, 243 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: very strong day for Bao, best start of the year 244 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: so far. Six and two thirds, five hits, two earned, 245 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: two strikeouts, two walks, gave up the home run as well. Well. 246 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: Like I said it, feels like the first few starts 247 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: here of the season for Ranger and Bao feels like 248 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: that was their spring training or adding on a could 249 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: you call it an extended spring training. Let's call it that. 250 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: But then the bullpen comes in, Danny Colomb, Zach Kelly. 251 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: They finished things up. Kelly give up a home run 252 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: to Burrelson late there that made it nine to three. 253 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: But that was it. That was it. Great day for 254 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: the offense here today. You gotta love it. I see 255 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: you in the chat, Mason, Bao strikeout scare me. He 256 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: doesn't get enough and you know we have I do 257 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: think you would like to see some more swing and miss, 258 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: But I don't know. You know, it's really difficult to 259 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: explain Bao, you know, because one day we could get 260 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: a very good Bayo. Another day, you know, it could 261 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: be something the complete opposite. For me, I think, you know, 262 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: if the sinkers feel, if he's warming up that day, 263 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: you know he's in the bullpen before the game, sinker's 264 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: feeling good, just lean into it. But if that pitch 265 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: isn't feeling quite right, you know, I don't know. He's 266 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: very difficult to decipher to me. I don't know I 267 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: look at that sinker he's got. It just looks really good. 268 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: That's just me. But then again, you know it could 269 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: be just where he's just got to go by feel 270 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: every start, whatever's feeling good, I say, he leans into that. 271 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: That's just me. The sinker that was good today, leaned 272 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: into that. That was that brought a lot of success 273 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: for him today. So Mason A are saying you'd like 274 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: more fastballs. Yeah, you know, I don't know. He gets 275 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: the weak contact on the sinkers. The fastballs, they've been 276 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: pretty inconsistent. We'll see what have we got here, Joelle 277 00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: Greetings from Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands. We are worldwide here, ladies 278 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, welcome a good day for the offense and 279 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: pitching today. You'd like to see more consistency of that 280 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: Bao performance. Yeah, you know, Like I said, it's very 281 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: hard to decipher him. He's a weird one because sometimes 282 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: he can go on these runs and there's other games 283 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: where I don't know. I do think the lack of 284 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: swing and missed that's the big reason for that. Where 285 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: he does have those inconsistencies. I don't know. It would 286 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: be amazing if you can get that change up going again. 287 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened a couple of years ago. 288 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: It is a great pitch, and the last couple of 289 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: seasons it just hasn't looked the same the v LO, 290 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: the differentiation on the v LO from the change up 291 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: to his fastballs, it's just I don't know, it hasn't 292 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: been a big difference. I think his last start, I 293 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: believe it was a round. What was it today? Let 294 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: me look hold on. I believe the sinker today for 295 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: him was around like eighty seven eighty eight. Let's see 296 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: what was or not? The sinker? The change up? Sorry, 297 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: funny enough with the he only threw seven change ups 298 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: here today, so he actually decreased that a little bit 299 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: again he leaned into the sinkers. But the velo and 300 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: the change up here today, Uh, it was eighty eight 301 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: miles an hour on average, So you know, you'd like 302 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: to see that a little less if you could. I 303 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: don't know. It's interesting he did decrease the change ups 304 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: here today. Again. I just wonder if maybe he was 305 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: feeling good about the sinker in the bullpen pregame as 306 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: he went fifty two percent sinkers. We leaned into the 307 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: cutters as well. Here's what it is. We'll see what 308 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: happens to the next start, but we are gonna be 309 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: previewing the Twins series.

But we 336 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: do have a couple of comments here in the chat. 337 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: I want to acknowledge here Mystic Summer. Should Roman be 338 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: dropped in the lineup to get him out of this? 339 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: Am I listen? I got a question here. I have 340 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: a question. I know section ten they have banned the 341 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: F word. I believe they've banned it. If you say, 342 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: if you say the F word, I don't mean the 343 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: F word, I mean the one that's spelled f U 344 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: n k. Y, I'm not saying it. I'm not saying that. 345 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 1: Does that also apply to f U n K Again, 346 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm not saying those words because I believe they have 347 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: banished those. Let me know in the chat if you 348 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: are allowed to say those As for the comment, I 349 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: don't know. You know, Roman, It's interesting because I'd have 350 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: to go look at the Savant page. I'd have to 351 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: see if there's something going on with the swing one 352 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: thing I did talk about with Roman coming into the year, 353 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: A big key was to get the ball into the 354 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: air more. I'm not sure if maybe he's I don't know, 355 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: like just pressing a little bit to try and make 356 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: better quality contact. I mean, you saw here today, had 357 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: the basis loaded, had the ground ball. I don't know. 358 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's going on there. It just I 359 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if he's in like a 360 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: bit of a having a bit of a downtime with 361 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: the mechanics, if he's struggling with something there. I imagine 362 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 1: he's not dealing with an injury. I don't know. The 363 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: Red Sox, I would imagine if he's dealing with something, 364 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: they would be very cautious with him. But I think 365 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: that's the right answer here, Michael Lynch. Roman just suffering 366 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: from the WBC. You go back Trey Turner the last WBC. 367 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: Remember Trey Turner had a great tournament, had that Grand 368 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: Slam against Venezuela, and then that start of the year 369 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: he was so slow out of the gate. The numbers 370 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: with him were abysmal. So I don't know if again 371 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: this is where like I love the WBC, but it's 372 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: not going to apply to everyone that plays in it. 373 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 1: But I feel like, again, some of these guys, they 374 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: get hit pretty hard where they don't have that normal 375 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 1: ramp up during spring when they can focus on things. 376 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if I would imagine it is 377 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: simply something mechanical going on with Roman, That's what I'm thinking. 378 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: But do you drop him in the lineup? I mean, 379 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: here's the thing. You know, he's been batting lead off 380 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: the last couple of games, and uh, they've been scoring 381 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: a whole ton of runs. So I say, don't fix 382 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: what's not broke. Don't fix what's not broke. I say, 383 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: just keep him there and let him try to figure 384 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: it out. In the chat, we have the answer finally 385 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: that I've been waiting for LB zero three to one. 386 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: He says, the F word is an instant suspension. Now 387 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: here's the now. When it comes to the F word, 388 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: does that apply to both forms of the F word 389 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: f U n k Y and f U n k 390 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: I think that's an important question. Maybe they've already answered that, 391 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: but if I can get an answer on that, that 392 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: would be amazing. Yeah, we got to follow the rules here. 393 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: Here we go. Let me get to the other comments. 394 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: In just a second, let's talk about this twin series 395 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: coming up here. Now, listen, I think the Red Sox 396 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: they're in a pretty good spot here. I'm not gonna say, hey, 397 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: go sweep this series, get back to five hundred. We 398 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: want series wins at the end of the day, right, 399 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: you want to take two out of three. Of course 400 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: you would love the sweep, but you know this could 401 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: be a chance here to get back to five hundred. 402 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: Here are the pitching matchups for the next few games. 403 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: Hold on a second. We got Crochet back on the 404 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: bump going up against Bailey Ober, Sonny Gray going for 405 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: game two, going up against Mick, and then connerly Early 406 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: going up against Simeon Woods Richardson. Now with Garrett, Crochet 407 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 1: looked very solid against the Brewers his last time out. 408 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: He really leaned into the hard stuff. Looked very good there. 409 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: Gave up a couple of hits, gave up a couple 410 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: of walks two runs if I remember correctly. But that 411 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: was what stuck out to me in Crochet's last start 412 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: leading into the hard stuff with Sonny Gray, he was 413 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: pitching more to contact, but he was getting a lot 414 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: of weak contact. He was working through that Brewers lineup 415 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: very well and then Connerly early I think stuff wise 416 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: v Low he looked good, but the command was a 417 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: little off. He was having trouble finding the strike zone 418 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: with all of his pictures. He was falling behind in counts. 419 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: Let's even get himself back on track in this next start. 420 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: Now going up against the Twins lineup here, let's share 421 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: the screen. And when it comes to the Twinkies, you 422 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: got Byron Buxton. I think it's safe to say he's 423 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: the uh. I'd say he's the star player over there 424 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: as of right now, minus Joe Ryan, who's in the lineup, 425 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: and that's a or in the rotation. But that's another 426 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: big thing with this series with the Twins is you 427 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: are avoiding both Joe Ryan and TODJ. Bradley. TODJH. Bradley's 428 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: off to a great start this year. Joe Ryan's looked 429 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: pretty solid for the most part. But you're avoiding those 430 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: two guys, so you get ober Abel and Richardson. So 431 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying, you have a pretty good shot 432 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 1: here to try to go for that back getting back 433 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: to five Hungary. But as to the line of Byron Buckston, 434 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: he is off to a slow start. Trevor Laarnick, he's 435 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: off to a hot start. Has an ops of nine 436 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: to forty eight so far. You got some talented bats 437 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: like Luke Keishel big fan of him. He got hurt 438 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: last year. He ended up missing a lot of time, 439 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: but when healthy, he has put up some really good 440 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: numbers in the past. Josh Bell, He's off to a 441 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: hot start there. He has an ops of nine to 442 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: forty one so far. Ryan Jeffers is looking pretty good. 443 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: Eight h five on the ops. Tristan Gray, Red Sox legend. 444 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: Tristan Gray. He's with the Twinkies now. He's off to 445 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: a pretty good start so far. So you got a 446 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: few bats here. Brooks Lee that's another young bat. He 447 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,920 Speaker 1: was a first round pick back in twenty twenty two. 448 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: So you know, with the Twins, they got some dudes. 449 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: But when you got the Red Sox pitching coming off 450 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 1: a great turn in the rotation with how good they've looked, 451 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: Crochet looking good against Milwaukee, Sonny Gray as well. Connelly 452 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: early not amazing, but didn't fall apart in his last start. 453 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: You got a shot here to get back to five hundred, 454 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: you know, we would love a sweep, but I think 455 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: two out of three is attainable now looking at the 456 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: pitching for the Twins, and here's why I'm feeling that 457 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: way as well, because when you look at Bailey Ober, 458 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna pitch more to contact. He's gonna 459 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: lean into the change ups a lot. You're gonna see 460 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 1: a lot of offspeed with him. But this is a 461 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: guy that's not really gonna rack up a whole lot 462 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: of strikeouts. Last year he had under eight strikeouts per nine. 463 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: He's gonna throw a lot of strikes, so he's gonna 464 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: be in the strike zone. But for the Red Sox, 465 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: they've been taking care of pictures in the strike zone here, 466 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: so that's gonna be key. I think they got to 467 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: be aggressive there, try not to let him get weak 468 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: contact off of you. But the bats have been looking good. 469 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: Mick Abel going Game two, I was going back to 470 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: that twenty twenty draft. Mick Abel was a guy I 471 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: was hoping the Red Sox ended up taking. He ended 472 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: up getting taken by the Phillies there. The Red Sox 473 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: ended up drafting Nick York in that. But mckabel, he's 474 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: had an interesting ride. Remember he went to the Twins 475 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: in the trade of the Phillies last year in the 476 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: Jowen Durang trade, and you know, he's had up and 477 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: down results. He finally got himself right last year in 478 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: the Philly system before he ended up getting moved, but 479 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: he's off to a bumpy start at the major league 480 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: level so far. He's a guy that's battled command issues 481 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: in his career up to this point. The straw he has, 482 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: the v LO, he has good stuff. It's just a 483 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: matter of throwing strikes. So the Red Sox, you know, 484 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: they have shown good patience over the last couple of games, 485 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: so I think that's gonna be the key against Abel 486 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: and then with Simmon Woods Richardson, He's been okay in 487 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: his career, like nothing crazy by any means, but a 488 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: guy that's you know, been able to turn in some 489 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: decent results. Last year, had an ERA of a four 490 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,640 Speaker 1: point zero four, but the FIP was at a four 491 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: and a half last year, and that's because he was 492 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,239 Speaker 1: home run prone. Had one point four home runs per 493 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: nine last year and so far this year it's at 494 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: one point seven per nine. He's not striking out a 495 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: lot of guys so far through his first three starts, 496 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: he's not walking a lot of guys, But you're gonna 497 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: see v low kind of in that ninety two to 498 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: ninety four mile an hour range. He's gonna throw some 499 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: sinkers at you. He's gonna throw some sliders in there 500 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,959 Speaker 1: as well. But I believe also in the last start, 501 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: it says here that he came down I think with 502 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: the flu or something in his last start against the 503 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: Blue Jays. Now, his last start against Toronto, he went 504 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: four innings, give up six hits, five earned se Yeah, 505 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: not a great start. So if that was a factor 506 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: for the last start, then yeah, we'll see if he 507 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: can get himself on track here. The first two starts 508 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: against the Rays and the Royals, he looked good. Against 509 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: the Rays, he went six and two thirds, five hits, 510 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: one earned four k's, So he looked good there. So 511 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: let's see what we get this time around. You know, 512 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: this is a guy that's still twenty five years old. 513 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: He is, uh, there's talent behind him. We'll see what 514 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: they can do with them. But overall, I do think 515 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: the Red Sox they have a shot to get two 516 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: out of three in this series. Could they end up 517 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: sweeping that would be amazing that that's the uh, that's 518 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 1: the that's the high point that I'm looking for here. 519 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: But we're looking for series wins at the end of 520 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: the day, looking for series wins. But what have we 521 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: got here in the chat? I'll read a couple of 522 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: comments before we get out of here. Gabe, you said 523 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: here Robbie deserves a catch up vote. It would be 524 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: an honor to have a ketch up vote one day, 525 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: would be an honor. Justin great signs all around. If 526 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: Roman gets going watch out. Yeah again, you know, it's 527 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: not like it's affecting things by an he eats. They're 528 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: still scoring a whole lot of runs even when he's 529 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: been quiet, And I think that goes to show it's 530 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: the guys in the middle of the order. They've been 531 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: stepping up right, and they're giving him good protection there, Monkmo. 532 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: Durbin can't be the one protecting Roman, that's for sure. 533 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: I again, I did say yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised 534 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: if Durban bat at second again here today because he 535 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: came up in the ninth fitting there got a couple 536 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: of RBIs on the base hit. I figured that earn 537 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: him another start in the two spot. But like I said, 538 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: you know the lineup, it's working right now, so I 539 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: could see coorgs just sticking with it until it stops working, 540 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, when the offense, you know, if they struggle, 541 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:22,239 Speaker 1: then maybe they do something different. We'll see. We've got 542 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: a super chat from gbo's twenty six four at ninety 543 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: nine for Roman his eggs ave, low barrel and hard 544 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: hit percentage. We're all average below average with and k 545 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,479 Speaker 1: rate at twelve and thirteen percent. So that tells the 546 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: story there. So yeah, let me pull up Roman's page. 547 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: Thank you, my friend. Let's go to Roman Anthony's statcast page. 548 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: Let's see what's going on. Seeah, I'm thinking probably something 549 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: mechanical is going on a little bit. There has been 550 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 1: swing and miss in his game over the last few 551 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: years or so, so that's not necessarily i'd say a 552 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: bad thing. But when you take a look at his 553 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: A ball mexstrics from last year, he was in the 554 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: reds all over the place. Right this year though, it's 555 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: gone down, So that's kind of where I'm thinking there 556 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: might be something going on mechanically. You know, if we 557 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: look here, let's go to the backtracking. I mean bad. 558 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: Speed's still looking good. You know, contact percentage is up, 559 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: but if we're looking at you know, actually, if you 560 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: look at the stance angle, last year is at seven 561 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: degrees and this year it's at ten degrees. There's also 562 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: the distance between his feet with his stance, it is closer. 563 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: Last year he was at twenty four point six feet 564 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: or a twenty four point six inches between his feet, 565 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: and this year it's at twenty one point seven so 566 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: that has decreased a little bit. So I don't know. 567 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: I wonder if it's like a comfort thing that's where 568 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm leaning something mechanically. I don't know, it's not fully 569 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: getting the best out of himself. He is a little 570 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: closer to the plate, he's one inch closer. He's standing 571 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: a little farther back in the box. So yeah, I 572 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,239 Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like it's little things going on, 573 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: something with the stance, something with the swing. If we 574 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:28,479 Speaker 1: look at the attack angle right now, he he had 575 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: an attack angle percentage last year of fifty two point 576 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: eight percent. This year it's down to forty three and 577 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: a half percent. So yeah, there's something going on with 578 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: the swing. Looks like he has changed some things up 579 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: with the stance a little bit. So that's my guess. 580 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: I think he's just trying to work through some things. 581 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: We'll see, hopefully gets himself on track. Mason hoping to 582 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: catch a raise game soon enough. Haven't been to that stadium. 583 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: I'll tell you from the pictures that I've seen, looks 584 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: pretty good. Looks pretty good. The new panels they got 585 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: on the roof. It looks like more sunlight is coming in, 586 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: whereas before it just looked dark in there. Obviously, you 587 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: know you're waiting for the new stadium, but it does 588 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 1: look pretty good. It looks better than what it did. 589 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,040 Speaker 1: Mysstic summer. Red Sox should ride with the red uniforms 590 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: into Minnesota. I agree, keep on the red unis. There's 591 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 1: no reason to get away from the red unis. You 592 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: got to keep wearing them until you lose. We've got 593 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: to stick with the reds. Gabe Arch Tigers shouldn't be 594 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: a tough series unless we face Schooble and Valdez. So 595 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: we got the Tigers coming up, and as of right now, 596 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: we are lined up to go up against Scooble and Framer. 597 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: So but hey, remember last year. Remember last year against Scoble, 598 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: they figured him out now, Bregman did it hit a 599 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: home run off of him? But that's how it's looking 600 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: right now. Right now, it's Ranger Soarez against Casey Miz, 601 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: Brian Bao against Trek Scouble, and Garrett Crochet against Franbervaldez. 602 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: So we'll see. But everybody, I'm gonna start wrapping it 603 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: up right there. That is it for the show for today, 604 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: Good day, good series, good weekend. Again Dustin May looking 605 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: like Petro Martinez. But the offense they showed up over 606 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,959 Speaker 1: the last couple of days looks like they made some 607 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: adjustments with the game plan. Coming in that first game, 608 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: they were just nah, I don't know that that approach 609 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: they had. I didn't like the approach. They were being 610 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: way too patient, which wasn't surprising because against the Brewers 611 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: that ended up being a big thing for him this 612 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: time around. You know. In that one though it didn't work, 613 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: they let a lot of hit a bull pictures in 614 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: my opinion, go by. But they made the adjustments and 615 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: they win the next two. Uh LB locked in from 616 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: South Africa. Man oh man, we are getting pretty worldwide 617 00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: over here, aren't We Love to see it, love to 618 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: see it. Thank you, My friend for joining Mason. Next game, 619 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 1: watch may gets rocked for like six runs. I mean, honestly, 620 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: that's probably gonna happen. It's probably gonna happen. But like 621 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: I've said, you know, after that horrible start over they 622 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,479 Speaker 1: two and eight, one of the factors I talked about 623 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,239 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox turning things around was preparation, all right, 624 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: going with the right approach, the right game plans. Looks 625 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,399 Speaker 1: like maybe they're starting to get on the right track 626 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,879 Speaker 1: with that over this past week. We'll see. But I'm 627 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: out here. Ladies and gentlemen, go enjoy the rest of 628 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: your Sunday. It's early. We still got a lot of 629 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: Sunday left. Go enjoy it. If you are back to 630 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: work tomorrow, good luck, have yourself a good start to 631 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: the week. But we'll be back here tomorrow. Also, what 632 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: is the game time? I always forget, I always forget. 633 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: What is the game time for tomorrow? We are seven 634 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: forty Eastern times, so we'll be here probably around ten 635 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: thirty Eastern time tomorrow for the postgame show. So I'll 636 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: see you then. Everybody, go enjoy the rest of your 637 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: Sunday and have a good night.
