Speaker 1: Welcome to Monster Territory, ladies and gentlemen. Finally a win,
Speaker 1: a win to talk about here today. I was getting
Speaker 1: tired of talking about the losses. Goodness, gracious, it's nice
Speaker 1: to have a win. I mean, listen, I know we
Speaker 1: had a whole lot of winning in the month of
Speaker 1: July and the first part of August, but holy cow,
Speaker 1: I was getting tired of these losses racking up here.
Speaker 1: So nice to talk about a win here today. Red
Speaker 1: Sox win seven nothing, Reckon improves to sixty five and
Speaker 1: fifty six. How about the day for Peyton? Totally, Holy
Speaker 1: col Peyton, totally another masterful performance we saw last time
Speaker 1: against the A's making history third Red Sox rookie all
Speaker 1: time to strike out four at least fourteen in a game. Now,
Speaker 1: he didn't do that here today. But the guy was great.
Speaker 1: He was great. He did exactly what I said yesterday
Speaker 1: that he needed to do. I said, listen, this Blue
Speaker 1: Jay's team, they're gonna come out swinging, they're gonna be
Speaker 1: making a lot of contact, they're gonna have a lot
Speaker 1: of back to ball moments here today, and he's got
Speaker 1: to work into that. He did exactly that here today.
Speaker 1: A lot of weak contact, a lot of fly balls,
Speaker 1: a lot of ground balls. He had a couple of
Speaker 1: strikeouts towards the end. But he did great here today.
Speaker 1: He did exactly what he needed to do, seventy eight
Speaker 1: miles an hour on average with the exsit ve Lo today,
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays couldn't get anything off of him. He
Speaker 1: threw a ton of strikes he threw in zone also,
Speaker 1: something I said yesterday. He was fantastic editings here today,
Speaker 1: ninety one pitches overall. He sat down seventeen in a
Speaker 1: row to end his day. Peyton totally man, Peyton toty.
Speaker 1: But the offense it took him a little bit. And
Speaker 1: obviously they've been having their struggles here over the last
Speaker 1: five games or so. You know, they've woken up a
Speaker 1: little bit at times. But today, well it did take
Speaker 1: him a little bit to wake up. It counted here today.
Speaker 1: They put it to good use. Caleb Durbin having himself
Speaker 1: a great day. Second Grand Slam on the year, broke
Speaker 1: it open late and with Caleb durban now at twelve
Speaker 1: home runs, it has a career high for him. He
Speaker 1: had eleven last year. Obviously, it's still very early in
Speaker 1: his career. But setting a new high in home runs.
Speaker 1: Also sixty RBIs on the season as well. I mean,
Speaker 1: we still got more than a month to go. Caleb Durbin,
Speaker 1: what else is there to say? Man playing here, you
Speaker 1: could say Peyton Totley definitely got a big slice of
Speaker 1: the hero pie today, but Caleb durban as well. Also
Speaker 1: Wilson coming in coming through early in the game here
Speaker 1: today against Scherzer, couldn't really get much going against him.
Speaker 1: We did say last night had pitched better over the
Speaker 1: last couple of outings, so not surprised that he had
Speaker 1: an ok outing here today He only went five innings,
Speaker 1: but you're able to break through against the bullpen. He
Speaker 1: added a little bit more at the end. There was
Speaker 1: a little bit of bad here today. You had the
Speaker 1: bases loaded in the fourth inning. You couldn't break through
Speaker 1: SETI again with a base running blunder, Holy cow, SETI
Speaker 1: with the base running man. It's so it's crazy to
Speaker 1: me because the guy out in center field is an
Speaker 1: absolute wizard. He's basically like Ozzie Smith out in center field.
Speaker 1: It makes everything look like it's second nature. It makes
Speaker 1: it look incredibly easy. But with the base running holy
Speaker 1: cal like the guy just gets into these blunders at
Speaker 1: times and it's like, what the heck is like? What
Speaker 1: is going on here? SETI today once again with a
Speaker 1: base running blunder, but luckily it did not come back
Speaker 1: to bite the Red Sox in the end. Good day overall,
Speaker 1: you got guys on base, you got the hits. Sure
Speaker 1: they came late, but overall, a great day for the
Speaker 1: Red Sox. Have you doing, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
Speaker 1: the chat. What is going on? We got a lot
Speaker 1: of members here, buttered sausage, Jacob, Joe Swaharat, what's going on?
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of familiar faces here as well.
Speaker 1: Jennifer red Sector, Julio Sangchez. What's going on? Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's show. We're gonna break this one down
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna preview the Pirates series coming up.
Speaker 1: You got the Pittsburgh Pirates coming or we're going to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: We're going to Pittsburgh before we come back home against
Speaker 1: a couple of West Coast teams. And also voicemails are
Speaker 1: open if you would like to leave a voicemail for today.
Speaker 1: The numbers on the screen three two, one, two zero nine,
Speaker 1: twenty one ninety nine have also pinned the number in
Speaker 1: the chats, so voicemails are open. I'll get to those
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. If there are any
Speaker 1: super chats, I'll get to those at the end of
Speaker 1: the show as well. Kadaj in the chat another member,
Speaker 1: what's going on, my friend, how you doing. Let's get
Speaker 1: to Peyton totally here, Let's get to the good stuff.
Speaker 1: Peyton totally man again pretty much broke down what he
Speaker 1: did here today, which is what I said he needed
Speaker 1: to do for today. Perfect game playing against the Blue Jays.
Speaker 1: The usual mix, the three pitch fastball mix threw him
Speaker 1: for strikes, snapped in a few curves. Later on he
Speaker 1: actually started working them in more. Third time through the order,
Speaker 1: he was in complete control today. It did come with
Speaker 1: a bit of a bumpy start up. First inning, Macado
Speaker 1: with the walk, Clement with the PopOut, Vlad with the
Speaker 1: bass hit. But then he gets springing to pop out,
Speaker 1: Okamoto to ground out. Second inning, he walked to Menez
Speaker 1: but this is where he This was the first of
Speaker 1: a couple of double plays that halted the momentum of
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays here today Amdez with the walk, Venezuela
Speaker 1: with a double play. Caleb Durban. We'll get to the
Speaker 1: offense in just a second here, but looked great defensively
Speaker 1: at third base as well. Had an error yesterday. He
Speaker 1: made up for it today, turning a double play here
Speaker 1: in the second inning. He turned another one in the
Speaker 1: third inning after a Nathan Lucas base hit. After the
Speaker 1: naked After the Nathan Lucas base hit, totally completely settled in,
Speaker 1: he sat down the next seventeen guys two of his
Speaker 1: two strikeouts, striking out back to back later on in
Speaker 1: the game, Springer on a sinker down and in Okamoto
Speaker 1: swinging on a curveball. Totally just looked fantastic here today.
Speaker 1: He looks so good now. As you can see on
Speaker 1: the screen. There were a lot of four seam fastballs
Speaker 1: here today, forty one overall, but worked in the sinkers.
Speaker 1: He threw sixteen curve balls on the day. Finny enough,
Speaker 1: he threw more curveballs than he did cutters. You don't
Speaker 1: see that very often. I am glad to see that.
Speaker 1: The more curveballs with Peyton, totally the better. Love that,
Speaker 1: love that, love that overall. Peyton totally fantastic day, and
Speaker 1: that was all the offense needed for today. They got
Speaker 1: started off on the right foot here today. While you
Speaker 1: know it took him a little while to wake up,
Speaker 1: they did get started very well. Will hear with a
Speaker 1: two out walk and here comes Wilson Contraras.
Speaker 2: After the races one to two swing and a shot
Speaker 2: out to right center field. That mu's headed into the alley.
Speaker 2: That's gonna drop down and up against the fence, powering
Speaker 2: his way into third as Abreo.
Speaker 1: Here he comes.
Speaker 2: He's gonna score on a double by Wilson Contreras.
Speaker 1: I gave the Red Sox a one nothing lead. Good
Speaker 1: to see Wilson staying like he's gotten back into a
Speaker 1: groove right. We saw the home run yesterday and he
Speaker 1: went opo. Here he went into the right center gap
Speaker 1: for that double. Good swing from Wilson. He's looking like
Speaker 1: he is back to form. It took him a little bit. Hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, guys, you know any guy that's having
Speaker 1: a great year, I don't care who it is, Shoe Hey, O, Tani,
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, Bobby Wick Junior, name anyone. Guys are gonna
Speaker 1: have at least, you know, a stretch where they're gonna
Speaker 1: slump a little bit. Wilson obviously had a couple of
Speaker 1: had a couple of knicks over the over the last
Speaker 1: week or so, right, fouling a ball off his foot,
Speaker 1: getting hit in the helmet, had a hamstring thing going on.
Speaker 1: You know, the guy's been beat up, so not surprised
Speaker 1: to see that. Hey, he's running into a little bit
Speaker 1: of trouble, but he looks good here over the last
Speaker 1: couple of days, over the last couple of games. Now
Speaker 1: fifth inning again with Seti, just this was even worse
Speaker 1: than yesterday. At least yesterday, I'll give him credit that
Speaker 1: he at least was aware of what was going on. Right,
Speaker 1: you had the wild pitch, It got away from Kirk,
Speaker 1: it went to his right. Said he thought, you know what,
Speaker 1: I can go get third. I can go get third,
Speaker 1: and it didn't work out for him. Right, Not a
Speaker 1: great not great awareness, in my opinion, But this was
Speaker 1: even worse. Fifth inning, Seti to our base, hit to left,
Speaker 1: Caram's off the wall. Andre Samenez hustles out to get it,
Speaker 1: and Seti, who's basically jogging into second base thinking he's
Speaker 1: got an automatic double. He looks up and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden he's getting tagged. Holy cow. That reminded me
Speaker 1: last year of when he got thrown out between second
Speaker 1: and third against Milwaukee. Who remembers that one That brought
Speaker 1: back bad memories of that. Luckily, though, it, like I said,
Speaker 1: didn't come back to bite the Red Sox. Here eighth
Speaker 1: inning SETI Willier back to back base hits to start
Speaker 1: the inning. Wilson Contreras showing off that, uh, he doesn't
Speaker 1: need to just hit dingers all the time. He lays
Speaker 1: out a sack bunt. He attempted one first, fouled it off,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, all right, maybe he's just showing that right,
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just kind of playing some games here. No,
Speaker 1: next pitch lays down the bunt, moves the runners over
Speaker 1: to second and third. It was a good bunt, too
Speaker 1: good looking bunt. Here comes mass up. They intentionally walk him,
Speaker 1: and that's set up the heroics of Caleb.
Speaker 2: Derbot sweet the high fly ball, let field teep back
Speaker 2: at your.
Speaker 1: Back at the wall.
Speaker 2: He's gone around, slam the deminator strikes and busting open to.
Speaker 1: Toronto, who also heard LUMERLOADI there going mm hmm. Hung
Speaker 1: a curve that was a curve right. Let me double check.
Speaker 1: I think that was a curve ball. That was a sweeper. Sorry,
Speaker 1: that was a sweeper, but he hung it right at
Speaker 1: the top of the zone. As soon as the back
Speaker 1: connected with the ball, you could hear Lumerladey go dirt
Speaker 1: dog Durbin. We love dirt dog derbin over here. That
Speaker 1: made it a five nothing game. Mona with the base
Speaker 1: hit after that, couldn't keep anything going there. But ninth
Speaker 1: inning you were able to keep things going there. So Guard,
Speaker 1: will you're with Walks said, he gets on hit by pitch. Also,
Speaker 1: I mean, is it just me or am I noticing
Speaker 1: that with Soguard batting lead off here today, even though
Speaker 1: so Guard didn't get a hit in four abs. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: the offense ended up coming through here today. I said
Speaker 1: this yesterday. I feel like this offense is better with
Speaker 1: Masa batting like fifth or six. I don't know coincidence,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's just me. I like Massa
Speaker 1: batting in that spot. I'm okay with Soguard leading off
Speaker 1: for now, and then when Roman comes back, hopefully that
Speaker 1: that will he will be good to go and he
Speaker 1: can go right back into that leadoff spot. I'm good
Speaker 1: with that. Also, Rushman had a day off here today.
Speaker 1: Forgot to mention that as well. So nice to see
Speaker 1: the Red Sox getting the job done here today even
Speaker 1: without Rushman. But bases loaded here, Wilson with a liner
Speaker 1: to Jimenez. He got robbed at a shortstop, but then
Speaker 1: Masa with a sackfly and then Durbin coming through yet again.
Speaker 2: Well the Red Sox blew up. There's a line shot
Speaker 2: base that'll chase in another run and to score Sadan Rafaela.
Speaker 2: That is a five RBI day for the Durbinator.
Speaker 1: The first five RBI game for Caleb Durban in his career.
Speaker 1: He had four RBIs against the White Sox just a
Speaker 1: little bit ago. But the most rbi is in a
Speaker 1: game for Caleb Durban in his short career up to
Speaker 1: this point. You gotta love it again. Twelve home runs
Speaker 1: on the gear that is now a new career high
Speaker 1: form sixty RBIs. And unfortunately you even though Caleb Durban
Speaker 1: had himself a good day here today, he did go
Speaker 1: three for five, had five RBIs. This was tough. This
Speaker 1: was tough for player of the game here today. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think you gotta go Peyton totally. Can you can
Speaker 1: we share the award? Could we do a co player
Speaker 1: of the game here today? But Peyton totally in the end,
Speaker 1: he played stopper. You know, you go back to Crochet
Speaker 1: last year, right, Crochet was the stopper time and time again.
Speaker 1: When you hit, you know, you lose a couple in
Speaker 1: a row, You lose a few in a row. When
Speaker 1: Crochet was on the mound, you felt good about that,
Speaker 1: getting snapped and getting back on the right track. Right
Speaker 1: totally here today played that role. He's been amazing over
Speaker 1: the last two starts, going back to the Dodgers game,
Speaker 1: He's gone nineteen and the third innings picks el Ray
Speaker 1: below a one point five fip in the I got
Speaker 1: the numbers actually right here. I just made a post.
Speaker 1: Let me actually pull that up here, Peyton Totley. Over
Speaker 1: his last three outings, he's two and zero nineteen and
Speaker 1: a third innings pitched El Ray at a one point
Speaker 1: three to five fit at a two point five zero
Speaker 1: eleven point two strikeouts per nine, one point eight walks
Speaker 1: per nine. But I still want to show some love
Speaker 1: to Caleb Durban obviously. I mean, it was a great
Speaker 1: day for him. You know what, let me actually do this,
Speaker 1: Let me actually do this because I want to show
Speaker 1: love for Caleb durban because man, oh man, you needed that.
Speaker 1: And the big thing with Durbin here today that it's
Speaker 1: not just the great game that he had, but it
Speaker 1: was also just giving the Red Sox some breathing room,
Speaker 1: just creating that separation, you know, just giving them just
Speaker 1: you know, taking the weight off their shoulders a little bit.
Speaker 1: You just felt like, oh, there was just pressure and
Speaker 1: obviously it was a close game. You know, you just
Speaker 1: needed that. So yeah, big day for Durbin here today,
Speaker 1: but just put everyone at ease. And yeah, totally amazing
Speaker 1: day and obviously help put us at ease as well,
Speaker 1: but Durbin just creating that separation in the end, big
Speaker 1: day for him. Good day defensively as well, but overall
Speaker 1: for Durbin on the yearies and again, you know this
Speaker 1: is taking into account that the first couple of months
Speaker 1: hitting two fifty three, seven thirty two? Ops? Man, what
Speaker 1: was it like May twenty seventh, the before he came
Speaker 1: back off the bench and he got himself going that
Speaker 1: ops I believe was below five hundred if I remember correctly,
Speaker 1: and it's at a seven thirty two, hitting two fifty three,
Speaker 1: seven thirty two ops, twelve homers, sixty RBIs and ninety
Speaker 1: eight WRC plus. And you know, also under the radar,
Speaker 1: fourteen stolen bases. That's not bad. And you know what,
Speaker 1: how many did he have last year? Let me pull
Speaker 1: this up really quick. Last year he had he had
Speaker 1: eighteen stolen bases last year with the Brewers. He is
Speaker 1: four away from tying that. So, honestly, I mean, why
Speaker 1: couldn't Caleb Durban finished with a fifteen to twenty season.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just saying. I mean, he's getting there.
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, he's setting obviously it's just a
Speaker 1: second year, but setting career highs. Caleb derban Man, Caleb Derbt, everybody,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to the pirates here in just a
Speaker 1: little bit. We're gonna get to the pirates here. We
Speaker 1: got a lot of people here in the chat. What's
Speaker 1: going on? Everybody? What's going on? How we doing? Griff
Speaker 1: and Brian? How we doing Chris? What's going on Griff
Speaker 1: and Brian? In the chat? There's nothing that separates Anthony
Speaker 1: as a leadoff except I'm not sure what you mean
Speaker 1: by that. I'm hoping Tracy will force Anthony to do
Speaker 1: leadoff hitter things. Yeah, I think I think Roman is.
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's gonna be the lead off guy.
Speaker 1: I was wondering at one point if you could see
Speaker 1: Adley in the leadoff spot, because he's a guy that
Speaker 1: just works, counts well, he gets on base. But obviously
Speaker 1: Roman he does that too. You know, I did speculate
Speaker 1: about ADLEI thinking at one point, okay, you know, because Roman,
Speaker 1: obviously he's missed a lot of time, do you put
Speaker 1: him right back into the leadoff spot. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I remember at Famwayfest when I asked Roman, you
Speaker 1: know where he likes to hit in the order? He
Speaker 1: told me, as long as he's in the lineup, he's
Speaker 1: good with it. But for him, he did say that
Speaker 1: he liked leading out of the leadoff spot. He just
Speaker 1: said like he felt like. I can't remember what he
Speaker 1: said exactly, I'd have to go back and and look
Speaker 1: at the clip, but saying something along the lines like
Speaker 1: he likes being the guy to get things going, you know.
Speaker 1: So Roman, obviously the numbers speak for themselves. I imagine
Speaker 1: he's gonna be into the leadoff spot. When he comes back.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. John Caleb Gerbin twenty twenty, I'm
Speaker 1: all about it. Can he get eight more home runs
Speaker 1: before the end of the year. I mean, he's got
Speaker 1: more than a month here. He's gonna have to he's
Speaker 1: gonna have to turn on the jets a little bit
Speaker 1: with the home runs. But hey, if he gets on
Speaker 1: the hots, if he gets hot with the power, why not.
Speaker 1: I'd love to see a twenty twenty season. That'd be amazing.
Speaker 1: So everybody, we are going to take a quick break here.
Speaker 1: We aren't gonna take a quick break, but don't forget.
Speaker 1: Voicemail is open here today again. The number is on
Speaker 1: the screen. Number is on the screen. If you'd like
Speaker 1: to leave a voicemail, go for it here. Number is

Speaker 4: my son sole one of my t shirts. So it's

Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to the next series, shall we. We
Speaker 1: got the Pittsburgh Pirates coming to town for the next game.
Speaker 1: We've got Jake Bennett going up against Bubbick Chandler. You
Speaker 1: get you just love seeing love seeing the young pitching matchups.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: Bubback Chandler one of the top pitching prospects in the
Speaker 1: game coming into the year. Jake Bennett is obviously emerged
Speaker 1: this year. But taking a look at the picturing matshups
Speaker 1: for the series here, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been struggling
Speaker 1: as of like, actually, really quick, Before we get to
Speaker 1: these pitching backshups, let's take a look at the current standings.
Speaker 1: Let's see what's going on. Obviously, the Reds picking up
Speaker 1: the win here today, the Yankees dropping one, and now
Speaker 1: looking at the wild card. As of right now, Yankee
Speaker 1: is still a few games ahead of the Red Sox
Speaker 1: for the first wildcard spot. The Tigers have thrusted themselves
Speaker 1: into the third wildcard spot, into a tie with the
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers as we speak, and that's without Derek schoobl
Speaker 1: That is amazing. But looking at the Pittsburgh Pirates in
Speaker 1: the Central, they're in dead last. They're fifty nine and
Speaker 1: sixty four. There is no hope for the NL Central
Speaker 1: for them, But in the Wildcard, not a lot of hope.
Speaker 1: They're either five and a half games out. It's it's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's crazy how the Bay, the game of baseball can go.
Speaker 1: The Pirates were looking really good at one point and
Speaker 1: then they ran in some injuries, the bullpen was inconsistent.
Speaker 1: They made a lot of moves for the bullpen. They
Speaker 1: actually like completely revamped that bullpen at the deadline. But
Speaker 1: they've been dropping a lot of games there, three and
Speaker 1: seven in their last ten. So hey, you got two
Speaker 1: teams that haven't been playing as well lately. But with
Speaker 1: the Pirates, you always got to watch out for the
Speaker 1: starting pitching and you got some good ones coming up.
Speaker 1: Like we said, Bubback Chandler going up against Jake Bennett
Speaker 1: here in game one, Sonny Gray going up against Jared Jones,
Speaker 1: who remembers when Jared Jones was like the hot name
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox at one point. Who remembers that
Speaker 1: going back, not this past offseason, but the offseason before that.
Speaker 1: So Jared Jones, he's got an electric rar. I'm not
Speaker 1: having a great year, but definitely a lot of talent there.
Speaker 1: And Game three you got Paul Skeins, the reigning Sy
Speaker 1: Young winner, going up against Patrick Sandoval. Another bit of
Speaker 1: a you know, bit of a mismatch here, right, you know,
Speaker 1: Sandoval going up against Dylan Cease a little bit ago,
Speaker 1: a couple of games ago, and now he's got Paul Skeens,
Speaker 1: so back to back two of the top pictures in
Speaker 1: the game. Skins, though, has not had the same success
Speaker 1: that he's had over the last couple of years. E
Speaker 1: Al Ray is at a three point eighty eight. The
Speaker 1: FIP is a full run lower at a two point
Speaker 1: nine to nine. But the big talking point with Skeins
Speaker 1: this year has been the vel The Velo is down
Speaker 1: on average over back in twenty twenty four, he was
Speaker 1: averaging ninety nine miles an hour twenty twenty five. Last
Speaker 1: year he was averaging ninety eight miles an hour, so
Speaker 1: still very good, but this year he's down to around
Speaker 1: ninety seven miles an hour on average, and that Velo
Speaker 1: has been coming down over the course of the season.
Speaker 1: People have been wondering if he could be dealing with
Speaker 1: some kind of an injury or something. But I mean, overall,
Speaker 1: the numbers have still been very good. Twenty five games,
Speaker 1: one hundred to thirty four and two thirds innings pitched,
Speaker 1: eleven strikeouts per nine, that's higher than it was last year.
Speaker 1: He is walking a few more guys two and a
Speaker 1: half walks per nine compared to two walks per nine
Speaker 1: last year, and he's giving up a couple of more
Speaker 1: home runs. Now, if we're looking at the game log,
Speaker 1: he's definitely not been as sharp over the last month
Speaker 1: or so, So do take into account, right, they are
Speaker 1: still good numbers, but lately not as hot. Last start
Speaker 1: against Miami, he went five innings, five hits, He gave
Speaker 1: up a homer, but one earned. He gave up three
Speaker 1: earned against the Brewers over five he walked four, struck
Speaker 1: out six. Before that, he gave up five earned against
Speaker 1: the Reds, walked four and before that. Back on July
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, he went five and a third. He struck
Speaker 1: out eleven against the Cubs, but he gave up five earned.
Speaker 1: So he's just not been as sharp over the last
Speaker 1: month or so. I mean, you can even go back
Speaker 1: to the begin since the beginning of July. On July first,
Speaker 1: against the Phillies, he gave up eight earned over four innings.
Speaker 1: Since the beginning of July, he has an ERA of
Speaker 1: a five point six y two. The FIP is at
Speaker 1: a three point five to eight. That's better, but the
Speaker 1: command hasn't been as crisp. He's still getting a good
Speaker 1: amount of swing and miss, but yeah, Skeins, I don't know,
Speaker 1: he's just he's not looking like the same guy. And
Speaker 1: you know what, since I'm on the subject, we'll do
Speaker 1: previews for each of these pictures as we go into
Speaker 1: those games. But looking at the stat cast for Skeens here,
Speaker 1: I'm interested in this. I want to see what this
Speaker 1: looks like. I mean, you still got a lot of reds,
Speaker 1: but he's giving up a lot more hard contact. He's
Speaker 1: still getting a lot of chase, a lot of whiffs,
Speaker 1: good amount of strikeouts, he's not walking a ton of guys.
Speaker 1: Still expected numbers still look very good, but eggs of
Speaker 1: Vlow's middle of the road barrel rate, hard hit rate.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, I don't know. Guys are just
Speaker 1: able to get into him a little bit more here
Speaker 1: teeing off on him a little bit more so. Regardless,
Speaker 1: it's still Paul Skeens who remembers last year Roman Anthony
Speaker 1: hitting a home run off Skeens that was electric. Unfortunately
Speaker 1: lost that one, So what can you do? That was
Speaker 1: the debut of Peyton Tolly. Paul Skeen's going up against
Speaker 1: Peyton Totley pretty fun. But Bubback Chandler taking a look
Speaker 1: at the numbers with him, e Al Ray and fip
Speaker 1: In the low fours. I mean, he's gonna give you
Speaker 1: a lot of v low. He's gonna give you stuff.
Speaker 1: The command has not been go with him this year,
Speaker 1: right around five walks per nine, eight strikeouts per nine.
Speaker 1: So or sorry, that's Bubbuck Chandler, I apologize, not Jared Jones.
Speaker 1: Bubbock Chandler, e Alray and FIP in the low fours.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna look to take advantage of the bad
Speaker 1: command with Bubback Chandler and then Jared Jones e al
Speaker 1: Ray out of five, FIP a full run lower out
Speaker 1: of four. He's gonna get a good amount of strikeouts
Speaker 1: right around ten per nine. Okay, Walker eight three per nine,
Speaker 1: but he's giving up a lot of home runs one
Speaker 1: and a half home runs per nine. So you know,
Speaker 1: Bubba Chandler, Jared Jones good stuff. But you know these
Speaker 1: guys are still very young, still working on fine tuning
Speaker 1: things right. And then obviously, like we said, Paul Sken's
Speaker 1: going game three now. Looking at the Pittsburgh Pirates lineup
Speaker 1: here again, they've had a lot of injuries. Right Connor Griffin,
Speaker 1: top prospect come in the game coming into the year,
Speaker 1: but he's been out for a little while you had
Speaker 1: Ryan O'Hearn, he went down with quatter injury. A little bit,
Speaker 1: Ago O'Neil Cruz went down with an injury, a hand
Speaker 1: injury if I remember correctly, he went down a little
Speaker 1: while back. So yeah, I mean they've been trying to
Speaker 1: fill in the gaps here. I mean, you know, Brian Reynolds,
Speaker 1: this is a guy who's having himself a very good year.
Speaker 1: Brandon Low has been a really good pick up for them.
Speaker 1: You know, Nick and Zalez is pretty solid in the
Speaker 1: middle of the order there, jacobins Zales. You know, they
Speaker 1: picked him up a little while back from the White
Speaker 1: Sox as Merle and Valdez. You know, there's definitely potential
Speaker 1: with him, but hasn't fully gotten it. Going Spencer Horwitz
Speaker 1: out of the leadoff spot, he's gonna be a guy
Speaker 1: that gets on base. But other than that, you know
Speaker 1: that they've been struggling with the offense, right. And you know,
Speaker 1: like I said at the bullpen, they did add a
Speaker 1: lot of good arms, right, Luke Weaver was a big addition.
Speaker 1: You added Camille Duval, Kirby Yates in there, you added
Speaker 1: like backer as well, So you know, I mean there
Speaker 1: are good arms in this bullpen. So I'm looking to see,
Speaker 1: you know, if we can get to these you know,
Speaker 1: to these starters here Bubback Shannon and Jared Jones and
Speaker 1: not having amazing years. So let's sef you can get
Speaker 1: to these guys in schemes. While he is still one
Speaker 1: of the best pictures in baseball, is on a bit
Speaker 1: of a down stretch over the last month or so.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking to do some damage against the Pirates
Speaker 1: rotation here in the next few games. So we'll see
Speaker 1: how that goes. Alrighty, do we got any voicemails? Any voicemails?
Speaker 1: We got a voicemail, We've got a voicemail. Let's play this.
Speaker 1: What do we get?
Speaker 4: Hey, Robbie swar here, gonna be going to PNC Park
Speaker 4: tomorrow to watch the Pirate Pirates talks for my Big four.
Speaker 1: Oh, I just want to say, you look out the
Speaker 1: center field, look for a guy in red jersey waving
Speaker 1: high to you. Take care. I'm gonna look for that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look for that. That's awesome. We gotta we
Speaker 1: gotta do more of that. If if there's ever anyone
Speaker 1: in the chat, like going to a game or whatever,
Speaker 1: tell me where you are and we'll see if we
Speaker 1: can pick you up on the camera. That'd be pretty
Speaker 1: funny and I and I can maybe put you here
Speaker 1: on the on the show and can be like, hey,
Speaker 1: look it's it's one of the people from the chat,
Speaker 1: one of our members. So art Man, thank you and
Speaker 1: enjoy that PNC park. Awesome park. Well, I can't say
Speaker 1: that from experience. It looks awesome. I would love to go.
Speaker 1: I do have a couple of friends in Pittsburgh. Maybe
Speaker 1: one day I can go. I'm eventually gonna I would
Speaker 1: like to hit every ballpark by the uh but by
Speaker 1: the time it's all said and done for me, that
Speaker 1: is a life goal for me. I'd like to go
Speaker 1: to every single ballpark. P and C definitely up there
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean, it looks awesome there. My dad
Speaker 1: he went, I don't know what hotel he stayed at,
Speaker 1: but he had P and C right outside his window.
Speaker 1: It looked amazing. So I'd love to go there one day.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Oh, Jacob in the chat going to the
Speaker 1: Rangers series, Okay, all right, yeah man, I'm hoping to
Speaker 1: go to the Marlin series coming up. I did put
Speaker 1: in for credentials we'll see if I get approved. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know the Rays, even though they
Speaker 1: let me in twice last year, they didn't let me
Speaker 1: in this year. I don't know. I don't know the
Speaker 1: Red Sox. They're very tight with their credential process. I
Speaker 1: mean that they they let me in for famway Fest,
Speaker 1: but for games, you know, they're pretty tight with that.
Speaker 1: They usually let the you know, people that work with
Speaker 1: the print media, you know, the newspapers and whatnot online, right, So,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see if the Marlins let me in.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that they can at some point. I I
Speaker 1: don't want to give it away. I don't want to
Speaker 1: give it away. I do have a player interview that
Speaker 1: is looking like it's in the cards at some point.
Speaker 1: We've just got to figure out a way to set
Speaker 1: it up. If I can go to Miami, that would be.
Speaker 1: If I can get approved for that, then that would
Speaker 1: be a great place to do it. We'll see if
Speaker 1: I get approved, we'll see. But Jacob amazing Stadium, Robbie
Speaker 1: in Texas. I gotta go to Global Life. I'm sure
Speaker 1: it's an amazing park. I mean, brand new a few
Speaker 1: years now. So yeah, Danny and the chat Pirates ballpark
Speaker 1: looks unbelievable. Yeah, uh, lewis going to the Yankee Series
Speaker 1: in enemy territory. I actually did go to the new
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium back in twenty fifteen, twenty fifteen or twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: one of those years. I mean, listen, it was Enemy territory.
Speaker 1: But the ballpark is beautiful, Like, it looked amazing. I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, like, hey, I hate this place. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, it looked really nice. You know,
Speaker 1: you're getting all these new parks, you know, getting built.
Speaker 1: Kansas City, They're gonna be getting a new park eventually.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's gonna be amazing. Obviously, Las Vegas they're
Speaker 1: gonna be opening that up. I'm sure that one's gonna
Speaker 1: be ridiculous. But but yeah, anyway, got to get gotta
Speaker 1: get to some games out there. We got a couple
Speaker 1: of super chats. Let's get to I think we had
Speaker 1: a couple of super chats. Let me pull these up here.
Speaker 1: I could have sworn while I'm pulling these up. Ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, if you can't hit the like button, we've
Speaker 1: been struggling with the likes as of late. If you
Speaker 1: can help us. We're only at thirty six as of
Speaker 1: right now. If we can get to a Hungary by
Speaker 1: the end of the show, that'll be amazing. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go. We had a couple of super chats.
Speaker 1: I could have sworn we had super chats in here.
Speaker 1: I could have sworn a super chat popped up on
Speaker 1: my screen. I guess we don't have any superchats? Can
Speaker 1: you in the chat? Can you tell me if you
Speaker 1: saw a super chat earlier? I could have sworn I
Speaker 1: saw something. Let me see if I can pull it
Speaker 1: up this way one second, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: could have sworn we had. I thought I saw one. Um,
Speaker 1: I guess not. Maybe I'm going crazy, all right, I
Speaker 1: think maybe I'm going crazy. I'm not seeing it, all right, Oh, Jacob, Okay, nothing,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe something else popped up on screen.
Speaker 1: You all know me. I have a potato for a brain.
Speaker 1: So let me check any voicemails here. We are good
Speaker 1: on the voicemails, we are good. But, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get out of here. I'm gonna get out
Speaker 1: of here. Hey, you know what. It was a tough series, obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, you don't like losing three out of four.
Speaker 1: It was frustrating the offense. It's been just very frustrating
Speaker 1: over the last week or so. But hey, you got
Speaker 1: the job done here today and you had a great
Speaker 1: outing from Peyton Toley. You needed a stopper, Caleb Durban
Speaker 1: coming through in the end. You needed that. Hey, better
Speaker 1: late than ever, and hopefully while you were hoping that
Speaker 1: ninth inning yesterday would lead to you know, good momentum
Speaker 1: here today. Obviously we didn't get it until the end,
Speaker 1: but hey, you know what, let's keep this going here.
Speaker 1: Let's keep this going. They seem to have a bit
Speaker 1: more energy here today. Let's see if they can take
Speaker 1: this into Pittsburgh and keep this offense going and get
Speaker 1: back on the right track here. I'm not saying we
Speaker 1: got to win fifteen games in a row, but let's
Speaker 1: let's hope this is the last losing streak for the
Speaker 1: rest of the year. So Chris and the chat, Robbie,
Speaker 1: when is your next time at Feenway? Not exactly sure.
Speaker 1: I would like maybe, you know, if an opportunity comes
Speaker 1: up by the end of the season. Maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would say more likely, probably not going to be
Speaker 1: there this season because it's just not a lot of
Speaker 1: time left. But you know, i'd love to say fenway Fest,
Speaker 1: but who knows, you know, with the upcoming potential lockout
Speaker 1: CBA negotiations, who knows how that how that would even
Speaker 1: work for Femway Fest, I don't know. But anyway, I
Speaker 1: imagine they're gonna be playing some baseball at some point
Speaker 1: next year. So I would like to get to Fenway
Speaker 1: Park by next season at least, So everybody, I'm out
Speaker 1: of here. I'm out of here. If you cant of
Speaker 1: the way out, hit the like button for me, subscribe
Speaker 1: if you're new, and we'll see it tomorrow for Pittsburgh
