WEBVTT - Red Sox SNAP Losing Streak | Postgame Reaction #121 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:11.240 Welcome to Monster Territory, ladies and gentlemen. Finally a win, 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:14.080 a win to talk about here today. I was getting 0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:16.919 tired of talking about the losses. Goodness, gracious, it's nice 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:18.919 to have a win. I mean, listen, I know we 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:20.360 had a whole lot of winning in the month of 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.040 July and the first part of August, but holy cow, 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.600 I was getting tired of these losses racking up here. 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:29.880 So nice to talk about a win here today. Red 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.559 Sox win seven nothing, Reckon improves to sixty five and 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:38.400 fifty six. How about the day for Peyton? Totally, Holy 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:43.279 col Peyton, totally another masterful performance we saw last time 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:49.360 against the A's making history third Red Sox rookie all 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.839 time to strike out four at least fourteen in a game. Now, 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.440 he didn't do that here today. But the guy was great. 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:00.240 He was great. He did exactly what I said yesterday 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.560 that he needed to do. I said, listen, this Blue 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.720 Jay's team, they're gonna come out swinging, they're gonna be 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.560 making a lot of contact, they're gonna have a lot 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.640 of back to ball moments here today, and he's got 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.480 to work into that. He did exactly that here today. 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.720 A lot of weak contact, a lot of fly balls, 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.039 a lot of ground balls. He had a couple of 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.760 strikeouts towards the end. But he did great here today. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.040 He did exactly what he needed to do, seventy eight 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:32.360 miles an hour on average with the exsit ve Lo today, 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.320 the Blue Jays couldn't get anything off of him. He 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.880 threw a ton of strikes he threw in zone also, 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:41.920 something I said yesterday. He was fantastic editings here today, 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.200 ninety one pitches overall. He sat down seventeen in a 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.360 row to end his day. Peyton totally man, Peyton toty. 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.160 But the offense it took him a little bit. And 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.480 obviously they've been having their struggles here over the last 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.920 five games or so. You know, they've woken up a 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:03.000 little bit at times. But today, well it did take 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.800 him a little bit to wake up. It counted here today. 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.080 They put it to good use. Caleb Durbin having himself 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:14.960 a great day. Second Grand Slam on the year, broke 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.600 it open late and with Caleb durban now at twelve 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.360 home runs, it has a career high for him. He 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.120 had eleven last year. Obviously, it's still very early in 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.320 his career. But setting a new high in home runs. 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.040 Also sixty RBIs on the season as well. I mean, 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.720 we still got more than a month to go. Caleb Durbin, 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.840 what else is there to say? Man playing here, you 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:39.640 could say Peyton Totley definitely got a big slice of 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.840 the hero pie today, but Caleb durban as well. Also 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.880 Wilson coming in coming through early in the game here 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.840 today against Scherzer, couldn't really get much going against him. 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:52.280 We did say last night had pitched better over the 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.880 last couple of outings, so not surprised that he had 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.959 an ok outing here today He only went five innings, 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.079 but you're able to break through against the bullpen. He 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.520 added a little bit more at the end. There was 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.079 a little bit of bad here today. You had the 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.280 bases loaded in the fourth inning. You couldn't break through 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:11.040 SETI again with a base running blunder, Holy cow, SETI 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:15.520 with the base running man. It's so it's crazy to 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.400 me because the guy out in center field is an 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.239 absolute wizard. He's basically like Ozzie Smith out in center field. 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.919 It makes everything look like it's second nature. It makes 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.600 it look incredibly easy. But with the base running holy 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.400 cal like the guy just gets into these blunders at 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.560 times and it's like, what the heck is like? What 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.520 is going on here? SETI today once again with a 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.040 base running blunder, but luckily it did not come back 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.560 to bite the Red Sox in the end. Good day overall, 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.400 you got guys on base, you got the hits. Sure 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.640 they came late, but overall, a great day for the 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.480 Red Sox. Have you doing, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.560 the chat. What is going on?

What's going on? Ladies and gentlemen. 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.240 Welcome to today's show. We're gonna break this one down 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.880 and then we're gonna preview the Pirates series coming up. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.280 You got the Pittsburgh Pirates coming or we're going to Pittsburgh. 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.239 We're going to Pittsburgh before we come back home against 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.000 a couple of West Coast teams. And also voicemails are 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.520 open if you would like to leave a voicemail for today. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.680 The numbers on the screen three two, one, two zero nine, 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:37.040 twenty one ninety nine have also pinned the number in 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.760 the chats, so voicemails are open. I'll get to those 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.560 at the end of the show. If there are any 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.719 super chats, I'll get to those at the end of 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.800 the show as well. Kadaj in the chat another member, 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.880 what's going on, my friend, how you doing. Let's get 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.920 to Peyton totally here, Let's get to the good stuff. 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:58.240 Peyton totally man again pretty much broke down what he 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.480 did here today, which is what I said he needed 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:05.359 to do for today. Perfect game playing against the Blue Jays. 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.840 The usual mix, the three pitch fastball mix threw him 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.200 for strikes, snapped in a few curves. Later on he 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.800 actually started working them in more. Third time through the order, 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.479 he was in complete control today. It did come with 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.480 a bit of a bumpy start up. First inning, Macado 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.640 with the walk, Clement with the PopOut, Vlad with the 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.760 bass hit. But then he gets springing to pop out, 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.040 Okamoto to ground out. Second inning, he walked to Menez 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.479 but this is where he This was the first of 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:38.640 a couple of double plays that halted the momentum of 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.200 the Blue Jays here today Amdez with the walk, Venezuela 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.400 with a double play. Caleb Durban. We'll get to the 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.880 offense in just a second here, but looked great defensively 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.200 at third base as well. Had an error yesterday. He 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.240 made up for it today, turning a double play here 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.400 in the second inning. He turned another one in the 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.280 third inning after a Nathan Lucas base hit. After the 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:01.720 naked After the Nathan Lucas base hit, totally completely settled in, 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.320 he sat down the next seventeen guys two of his 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.600 two strikeouts, striking out back to back later on in 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.480 the game, Springer on a sinker down and in Okamoto 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:18.400 swinging on a curveball. Totally just looked fantastic here today. 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:19.880 He looks so good now. As you can see on 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.200 the screen. There were a lot of four seam fastballs 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.600 here today, forty one overall, but worked in the sinkers. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.760 He threw sixteen curve balls on the day. Finny enough, 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.760 he threw more curveballs than he did cutters. You don't 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.440 see that very often. I am glad to see that. 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.359 The more curveballs with Peyton, totally the better. Love that, 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:43.080 love that, love that overall. Peyton totally fantastic day, and 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:54.880 that was all the offense needed for today. They got 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.080 started off on the right foot here today. While you 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:58.839 know it took him a little while to wake up, 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.320 they did get started very well. Will hear with a 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.760 two out walk and here comes Wilson Contraras. 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:11.480 After the races one to two swing and a shot 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.840 out to right center field. That mu's headed into the alley. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.680 That's gonna drop down and up against the fence, powering 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.000 his way into third as Abreo. 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:18.760 Here he comes. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:23.080 He's gonna score on a double by Wilson Contreras. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.080 I gave the Red Sox a one nothing lead. Good 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:30.440 to see Wilson staying like he's gotten back into a 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.520 groove right. We saw the home run yesterday and he 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.200 went opo. Here he went into the right center gap 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.280 for that double. Good swing from Wilson. He's looking like 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.280 he is back to form. It took him a little bit. Hey, 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.320 you know what, guys, you know any guy that's having 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:50.040 a great year, I don't care who it is, Shoe Hey, O, Tani, 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.080 Aaron Judge, Bobby Wick Junior, name anyone. Guys are gonna 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:59.040 have at least, you know, a stretch where they're gonna 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:03.440 slump a little bit. Wilson obviously had a couple of 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.920 had a couple of knicks over the over the last 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.080 week or so, right, fouling a ball off his foot, 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.360 getting hit in the helmet, had a hamstring thing going on. 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.120 You know, the guy's been beat up, so not surprised 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.880 to see that. Hey, he's running into a little bit 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.600 of trouble, but he looks good here over the last 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:21.720 couple of days, over the last couple of games. Now 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:26.040 fifth inning again with Seti, just this was even worse 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:30.280 than yesterday. At least yesterday, I'll give him credit that 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:34.600 he at least was aware of what was going on. Right, 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.880 you had the wild pitch, It got away from Kirk, 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.760 it went to his right. Said he thought, you know what, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:40.920 I can go get third. I can go get third, 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.480 and it didn't work out for him. Right, Not a 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:47.200 great not great awareness, in my opinion, But this was 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.920 even worse. Fifth inning, Seti to our base, hit to left, 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.280 Caram's off the wall. Andre Samenez hustles out to get it, 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.320 and Seti, who's basically jogging into second base thinking he's 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.040 got an automatic double. He looks up and all of 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:07.320 a sudden he's getting tagged. Holy cow. That reminded me 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.560 last year of when he got thrown out between second 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:15.679 and third against Milwaukee. Who remembers that one That brought 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:21.200 back bad memories of that. Luckily, though, it, like I said, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:23.160 didn't come back to bite the Red Sox. Here eighth 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.880 inning SETI Willier back to back base hits to start 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:31.360 the inning. Wilson Contreras showing off that, uh, he doesn't 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.920 need to just hit dingers all the time. He lays 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:38.640 out a sack bunt. He attempted one first, fouled it off, 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:41.959 and I'm thinking, all right, maybe he's just showing that right, 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.880 Maybe he's just kind of playing some games here. No, 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.560 next pitch lays down the bunt, moves the runners over 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.600 to second and third. It was a good bunt, too 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:58.200 good looking bunt. Here comes mass up. They intentionally walk him, 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.319 and that's set up the heroics of Caleb. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:06.560 Derbot sweet the high fly ball, let field teep back 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:07.040 at your. 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:07.959 Back at the wall. 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:14.440 He's gone around, slam the deminator strikes and busting open to. 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:21.000 Toronto, who also heard LUMERLOADI there going mm hmm. Hung 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.240 a curve that was a curve right. Let me double check. 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.400 I think that was a curve ball. That was a sweeper. Sorry, 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.280 that was a sweeper, but he hung it right at 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.640 the top of the zone. As soon as the back 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:37.400 connected with the ball, you could hear Lumerladey go dirt 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:39.840 dog Durbin. We love dirt dog derbin over here. That 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.920 made it a five nothing game. Mona with the base 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.840 hit after that, couldn't keep anything going there. But ninth 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.000 inning you were able to keep things going there. So Guard, 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:52.880 will you're with Walks said, he gets on hit by pitch. Also, 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:57.720 I mean, is it just me or am I noticing 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.800 that with Soguard batting lead off here today, even though 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.200 so Guard didn't get a hit in four abs. I mean, listen, 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.080 the offense ended up coming through here today. I said 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:13.000 this yesterday. I feel like this offense is better with 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:17.079 Masa batting like fifth or six. I don't know coincidence, 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:19.680 I don't know if that's just me. I like Massa 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.640 batting in that spot. I'm okay with Soguard leading off 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:28.959 for now, and then when Roman comes back, hopefully that 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.560 that will he will be good to go and he 0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.240 can go right back into that leadoff spot. I'm good 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.280 with that. Also, Rushman had a day off here today. 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.520 Forgot to mention that as well. So nice to see 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.640 the Red Sox getting the job done here today even 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.040 without Rushman. But bases loaded here, Wilson with a liner 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.920 to Jimenez. He got robbed at a shortstop, but then 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:53.120 Masa with a sackfly and then Durbin coming through yet again. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.480 Well the Red Sox blew up. There's a line shot 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:04.160 base that'll chase in another run and to score Sadan Rafaela. 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.679 That is a five RBI day for the Durbinator. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.640 The first five RBI game for Caleb Durban in his career. 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.480 He had four RBIs against the White Sox just a 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.679 little bit ago. But the most rbi is in a 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.960 game for Caleb Durban in his short career up to 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.160 this point. You gotta love it again. Twelve home runs 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.640 on the gear that is now a new career high 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:32.360 form sixty RBIs. And unfortunately you even though Caleb Durban 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:36.280 had himself a good day here today, he did go 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.200 three for five, had five RBIs. This was tough. This 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:44.280 was tough for player of the game here today. I mean, 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:48.800 I think you gotta go Peyton totally. Can you can 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.480 we share the award? Could we do a co player 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.839 of the game here today? But Peyton totally in the end, 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:58.280 he played stopper. You know, you go back to Crochet 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:02.560 last year, right, Crochet was the stopper time and time again. 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.080 When you hit, you know, you lose a couple in 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.319 a row, You lose a few in a row. When 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.600 Crochet was on the mound, you felt good about that, 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.920 getting snapped and getting back on the right track. Right 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.560 totally here today played that role. He's been amazing over 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.679 the last two starts, going back to the Dodgers game, 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.480 He's gone nineteen and the third innings picks el Ray 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:25.320 below a one point five fip in the I got 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.160 the numbers actually right here. I just made a post. 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:33.280 Let me actually pull that up here, Peyton Totley. Over 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.640 his last three outings, he's two and zero nineteen and 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.959 a third innings pitched El Ray at a one point 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.280 three to five fit at a two point five zero 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:45.920 eleven point two strikeouts per nine, one point eight walks 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.640 per nine. But I still want to show some love 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.800 to Caleb Durban obviously. I mean, it was a great 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.480 day for him. You know what, let me actually do this, 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.280 Let me actually do this because I want to show 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.720 love for Caleb durban because man, oh man, you needed that. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:04.400 And the big thing with Durbin here today that it's 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:08.080 not just the great game that he had, but it 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:13.199 was also just giving the Red Sox some breathing room, 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:17.080 just creating that separation, you know, just giving them just 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:20.200 you know, taking the weight off their shoulders a little bit. 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:23.160 You just felt like, oh, there was just pressure and 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.240 obviously it was a close game. You know, you just 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.760 needed that. So yeah, big day for Durbin here today, 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:34.440 but just put everyone at ease. And yeah, totally amazing 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.920 day and obviously help put us at ease as well, 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:41.320 but Durbin just creating that separation in the end, big 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.120 day for him. Good day defensively as well, but overall 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.200 for Durbin on the yearies and again, you know this 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.160 is taking into account that the first couple of months 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:56.120 hitting two fifty three, seven thirty two? Ops? Man, what 0:14:56.200 --> 0:15:00.440 was it like May twenty seventh, the before he came 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.000 back off the bench and he got himself going that 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.160 ops I believe was below five hundred if I remember correctly, 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.400 and it's at a seven thirty two, hitting two fifty three, 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.680 seven thirty two ops, twelve homers, sixty RBIs and ninety 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.960 eight WRC plus. And you know, also under the radar, 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.000 fourteen stolen bases. That's not bad. And you know what, 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.680 how many did he have last year? Let me pull 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:31.560 this up really quick. Last year he had he had 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.360 eighteen stolen bases last year with the Brewers. He is 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:39.760 four away from tying that. So, honestly, I mean, why 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:44.160 couldn't Caleb Durban finished with a fifteen to twenty season. 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.840 I mean, I'm just saying. I mean, he's getting there. 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.480 I mean, right now, he's setting obviously it's just a 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:56.720 second year, but setting career highs. Caleb derban Man, Caleb Derbt, everybody, 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.080 we're gonna get to the pirates here in just a 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:01.160 little bit. We're gonna get to the pirates here. We 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:02.800 got a lot of people here in the chat. What's 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:06.000 going on? Everybody? What's going on? How we doing? Griff 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:10.440 and Brian? How we doing Chris? What's going on Griff 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.480 and Brian? In the chat? There's nothing that separates Anthony 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.320 as a leadoff except I'm not sure what you mean 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.680 by that. I'm hoping Tracy will force Anthony to do 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.160 leadoff hitter things. Yeah, I think I think Roman is. 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.360 I would imagine he's gonna be the lead off guy. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.600 I was wondering at one point if you could see 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.400 Adley in the leadoff spot, because he's a guy that 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.400 just works, counts well, he gets on base. But obviously 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:40.800 Roman he does that too. You know, I did speculate 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:45.120 about ADLEI thinking at one point, okay, you know, because Roman, 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:46.880 obviously he's missed a lot of time, do you put 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.000 him right back into the leadoff spot. I don't know, 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.480 but I remember at Famwayfest when I asked Roman, you 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.240 know where he likes to hit in the order? He 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.240 told me, as long as he's in the lineup, he's 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.160 good with it. But for him, he did say that 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.199 he liked leading out of the leadoff spot. He just 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.199 said like he felt like. I can't remember what he 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.400 said exactly, I'd have to go back and and look 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.600 at the clip, but saying something along the lines like 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.320 he likes being the guy to get things going, you know. 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:20.440 So Roman, obviously the numbers speak for themselves. I imagine 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.320 he's gonna be into the leadoff spot. When he comes back. 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.520 That's what I'm thinking. John Caleb Gerbin twenty twenty, I'm 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:32.160 all about it. Can he get eight more home runs 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:33.399 before the end of the year. I mean, he's got 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.200 more than a month here. He's gonna have to he's 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.040 gonna have to turn on the jets a little bit 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.320 with the home runs. But hey, if he gets on 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.960 the hots, if he gets hot with the power, why not. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.399 I'd love to see a twenty twenty season. That'd be amazing. 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:52.080 So everybody, we are going to take a quick break here. 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.200 We aren't gonna take a quick break, but don't forget. 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:59.119 Voicemail is open here today again.

We 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.840 got the Pittsburgh Pirates coming to town for the next game. 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.399 We've got Jake Bennett going up against Bubbick Chandler. You 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:36.600 get you just love seeing love seeing the young pitching matchups. 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:36.719 Here. 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.639 Bubback Chandler one of the top pitching prospects in the 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.600 game coming into the year. Jake Bennett is obviously emerged 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.320 this year. But taking a look at the picturing matshups 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:50.399 for the series here, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been struggling 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.920 as of like, actually, really quick, Before we get to 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:57.679 these pitching backshups, let's take a look at the current standings. 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.639 Let's see what's going on. Obviously, the Reds picking up 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.879 the win here today, the Yankees dropping one, and now 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:08.960 looking at the wild card. As of right now, Yankee 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:10.480 is still a few games ahead of the Red Sox 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.200 for the first wildcard spot. The Tigers have thrusted themselves 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:19.280 into the third wildcard spot, into a tie with the 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.600 Texas Rangers as we speak, and that's without Derek schoobl 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:29.720 That is amazing. But looking at the Pittsburgh Pirates in 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.359 the Central, they're in dead last. They're fifty nine and 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.919 sixty four. There is no hope for the NL Central 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.320 for them, But in the Wildcard, not a lot of hope. 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:46.680 They're either five and a half games out. It's it's crazy. 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:50.160 It's crazy how the Bay, the game of baseball can go. 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:53.480 The Pirates were looking really good at one point and 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:57.720 then they ran in some injuries, the bullpen was inconsistent. 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:00.560 They made a lot of moves for the bullpen. They 0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.879 actually like completely revamped that bullpen at the deadline. But 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:06.600 they've been dropping a lot of games there, three and 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:10.040 seven in their last ten. So hey, you got two 0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:13.919 teams that haven't been playing as well lately. But with 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:17.240 the Pirates, you always got to watch out for the 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.520 starting pitching and you got some good ones coming up. 0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:23.640 Like we said, Bubback Chandler going up against Jake Bennett 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.040 here in game one, Sonny Gray going up against Jared Jones, 0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:31.960 who remembers when Jared Jones was like the hot name 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.399 for the Red Sox at one point. Who remembers that 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:38.000 going back, not this past offseason, but the offseason before that. 0:21:38.720 --> 0:21:40.960 So Jared Jones, he's got an electric rar. I'm not 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:43.840 having a great year, but definitely a lot of talent there. 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.399 And Game three you got Paul Skeins, the reigning Sy 0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:51.560 Young winner, going up against Patrick Sandoval. Another bit of 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:53.959 a you know, bit of a mismatch here, right, you know, 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:57.160 Sandoval going up against Dylan Cease a little bit ago, 0:21:57.880 --> 0:21:59.919 a couple of games ago, and now he's got Paul Skeens, 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:03.280 so back to back two of the top pictures in 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:07.960 the game. Skins, though, has not had the same success 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.240 that he's had over the last couple of years. E 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:12.600 Al Ray is at a three point eighty eight. The 0:22:12.640 --> 0:22:15.320 FIP is a full run lower at a two point 0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.640 nine to nine. But the big talking point with Skeins 0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:22.040 this year has been the vel The Velo is down 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.680 on average over back in twenty twenty four, he was 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:28.240 averaging ninety nine miles an hour twenty twenty five. Last 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.320 year he was averaging ninety eight miles an hour, so 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.879 still very good, but this year he's down to around 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:38.440 ninety seven miles an hour on average, and that Velo 0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:40.600 has been coming down over the course of the season. 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:44.240 People have been wondering if he could be dealing with 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:48.240 some kind of an injury or something. But I mean, overall, 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:53.080 the numbers have still been very good. Twenty five games, 0:22:53.119 --> 0:22:55.160
