1 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: I've been doing, ladies and gentlemen, good evening, good evening, 2 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 1: good evening. A bittersweet win for the Red Sox tonight. Yeah, 3 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: some bad news tonight. I mean, it's really the only 4 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: way to put it. Tristan Cassas going down tonight looking 5 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: like a very bad knee injury or some kind of 6 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: a leg injury. He got structured off in this one. 7 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: Very tough sight to see. You know, Tristan Cassas, this 8 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: is a guy who you know, obviously former top prospect 9 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox. He's shown a lot of potential 10 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. You know, this year. 11 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: You know, obviously last year he missed a lot of 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: time with injuries. He's had trouble staying on the field 13 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: due to injury. But you know, this year he was 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: looking healthy for the most part. You know, yeah, he 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: was battling this year. You know, he was really trying 16 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: to get himself going for the most part, and unfortunately, 17 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: just going down like that tonight, that's not what you 18 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: wanted to see. You know, we're all pulling for Tristan 19 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: Costas to get himself right. But for me, you know, 20 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: to see Cassis the way he was you know there 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: and you know, just to see how it all went down. 22 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: That's stunk, you know obviously, because yeah, it looked like 23 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: a very serious injury to the lower to his leg. 24 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: But for me personally, you know, I've said this a 25 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: few times, you know, where I went to the first 26 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: game for the Race series not too long ago. First 27 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: time ever I was able to go onto the field. 28 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: I got credentials to be able to you know, talk 29 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: to some of the players, and Tristan Cossas was one 30 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: of them. Now, I had asked him if he had 31 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: wanted to do an interview, and but obviously I was 32 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: not accustomed to the whole procedure pregame and he went 33 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: to go, he told me, no, I gotta take you know, 34 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: BP ground balls. But after he came running right over 35 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: to me, and you know, that meant a lot to me. 36 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: You know, first time ever being on the field, being 37 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: in that environment, I'm like a fish out of water. 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, you know. And the 39 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: fact that he came running over, you know, to me 40 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: after he got done, the fact that he didn't forget 41 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: about me, that was that spoke a lot to me. 42 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: And uh so that spoke to me about the person 43 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: that he is. Yeah, I wish nothing but the best 44 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: for trusting Cassas. But we are gonna have to get 45 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: into tonight. You know what is next for the Red Sox. 46 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: What are they going to be doing at first base? 47 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: What is the plan? So I've come up with some 48 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: options that uh, I think could be realistic. I got 49 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: a couple of pipe dreams. Uh, we'll talk about it. 50 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: But for the game tonight, like I said, a bittersweet win. 51 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: The Red Sox stepping up tonight right when a little cold. 52 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: You know, they gotta got off to a good start 53 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: in Toronto a couple of games ago, but you know 54 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: then they fell flat up in the last couple of 55 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: games of the series there, so good for the offense 56 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: to step up. You'll only score two runs in the 57 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: finale against Toronto yesterday, so good night for the offense. Overall, 58 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: great pitching from Brian Bayle will break that down. But 59 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: before I go any further, just got a shout out 60 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: tonight's sponsor, and that's Arena Club Todd Father. 61 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: I want to pull a very expensive card out of 62 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: a pack, very difficult to do and very expensive. 63 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: I can't pay for it. 64 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 2: Okay, how could I acquire that card? 65 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: Simple? 66 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: Instead of driving somewhere, you go on Arena Club, Go 67 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: get you a slab pack and you'll have some of 68 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: the best cards you're ever going to see, some one 69 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: on ones, some cards that you want to have and 70 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: you can't get out of your home. 71 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: Go right online.

But let's get 87 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: into it here. We got a lot to talk about, 88 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: but let's kind of just get to the injury. In 89 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: case you know you haven't seen it, I will show it. 90 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: There was one video here on Twitter, and I believe 91 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: Tony Mazarati posted this, So let's head on over to 92 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: this and I'll zoom in just a little bit. So 93 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: breaking this down here, right, you know, it looks kind 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: of like a week ground out at first, and then 95 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: but Joe Ryan kind of got a bit of a 96 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: bobble on it a right, didn't fully come up with it, 97 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: so Costas he kind of started turning on the jets 98 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: a little bit and then so initially I think most 99 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: people thought it was something with his right leg. So 100 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: he stepped on the bag and he actually, you know, 101 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: looking back on it, he actually had a pretty firm 102 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: plant on the bag. But it ended up looking like 103 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: it was the left leg because after the fact, he 104 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: actually grabbed his left leg, even though it looked like 105 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: it was probably something with the right leg. So if 106 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: we take a look here, so I saw some people thinking, oh, 107 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: he banged his knee against France. He banged his knee 108 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: on France's leg, and you know, people thinking it's you know, 109 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: you just kind of got shaken up. Well, if you 110 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: take a look at his foot, it actually he sort 111 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: of he caught ty France's cleat and then he sort 112 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: of just kind of came up just to no man's 113 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: land after that. And look at the way he landed, 114 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: so his knee kind of just caved inward at that point, 115 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, and he just landed extremely awkward. So I 116 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: think that was where the injury occurred. It's very unfortunate. Again, 117 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people thought it was the 118 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: right and I did too at first, just because you're thinking, Okay, 119 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: well he landed on the bag with his right foot, 120 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: but no, it looks like it was the left, especially 121 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: because he was grabbing his left knee afterwards. But very 122 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: unfortunate there, you know. Again, you know, this is a 123 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: guy that he's just been trying to battle all year. 124 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: You know this up to this point, he's been trying 125 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: to get himself going. He saw a couple of signs. 126 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: You saw him, you know, getting into some barrel, some 127 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: hard hit balls, you know, and it's very unfortunate, and 128 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: I feel for the guy. Man. You know, it's it's tough, 129 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: you know, this is a guy where you know, at 130 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: the end of the day, he's a polarizing player for 131 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: the Red Sox. You know, there's a lot of different 132 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: opinions on him, But to me, at the end of 133 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: the day, he's just the dude that's trying to go 134 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: out there and you know, trying to live his dream 135 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: playing for the Boston Red Sox, you know, and playing 136 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,679 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball and just trying to do whatever 137 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: he can to produce for this team, you know, And 138 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: and it stinks seeing someone go down like that. It's uh, 139 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: it's you know, yes, Samuel Man, Nah, nah Man, We 140 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: can't we can't be talking like that. We can't be 141 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: talking like that. No, absolutely not. Now, No one ever 142 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: wants an injury on anyone, you know. And I know 143 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: there's gonna be people out there that you know, they 144 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: have their feelings about Casas and whatever else. You know, again, 145 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a divide on him. People have their opinions. 146 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: But nah, we can't be wishing injury upon anyone. And 147 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: if anyone is out there, we'll shame on you. We 148 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: can't be doing that. So justin Gassas, you know, we're 149 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: waiting word. I think I read that the mr Ry 150 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: is going to be tonight, so we'll probably hear something tomorrow. 151 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: We'll see, But to me personally now, I think it's 152 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: gonna be some kind of a tear within the ACL. 153 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: It could be possibly something with the quad tendon. That's 154 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: what I actually wonder if it could be something with 155 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: the botella or the quad. It definitely could be an ACL. 156 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 1: But we did have something from Jesse Morse, doctor Jesse 157 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: Morse over on Twitter and so yes, like his name says, 158 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: he is a doctor, but he put this here. His 159 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: last plant before landing with his right foot on the 160 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: bag looked completely normal. The video below, the one that 161 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: I just showed you, shows that his left foot ankle 162 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: trips on Ty Francis foot, causing to land on a 163 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: flexed knee. That's where I wonder if it could be 164 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: something with the patella or the quad. I actually wonder 165 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: because it's a flexed knee, So I just wonder if 166 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: the way he just landed, I wonder if it could 167 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: be something with that. He says here, this is a 168 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: traditional mechanism of injury for a PCL sprain, So if 169 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: it ends up being a sprain, I mean this, uh, 170 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: that well, I'm not sure what the timetable of a 171 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: PCL sprain is, but I definitely think a sprain is 172 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: going to be better than an actual tear, so who knows. 173 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: But he also says here, but there's always the possibility 174 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: of an ACL tear or a miniscal tear. Since he 175 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: was carted off, that usually speaks to the severity. It's 176 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: likely he gets an MRI in the knee either tonight 177 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: or tomorrow, so expect an update. Then again, I read 178 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 1: somewhere it's going to be tonight. But then again, they 179 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: could just do it tomorrow. Let's hope for the best. 180 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: But I don't have a good feeling about that play 181 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: so ended up being where he got structured off they 182 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,479 Speaker 1: took him to the hospital, So yeah, I would imagine, 183 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: let's see, because I know a lot of the times 184 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: they like to wait on MRIs, so they wait for 185 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: inflammation and what not to die down. But I mean, whatever, 186 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: if they're looking for a tear, I would imagine that's 187 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: going to be easy to see on an MRI. So 188 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: we'll see what ends up happening here. But that doesn't 189 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: look good to me. You know, when you fall down 190 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: like that and you're instantly grabbing at something and then 191 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,719 Speaker 1: you're structured off. I don't have a good feeling about it. 192 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: I think he's I don't know, man, my gut tells 193 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: me he's gonna be out for the year. I mean, 194 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that's I'm just speculating, but I 195 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: mean we've seen many of these injuries. You don't usually 196 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: see it very much in baseball. You'll see it more 197 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: in basketball, football, you know, stuff with the knees. But 198 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: you know, usually when you see something like that and 199 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: a guy goes down like that, especially at his size, 200 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: you got to think about that too. I don't know, 201 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm thinking it's going to be something for the year. 202 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. I hope it's something less severe 203 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: than that and it ends up being all right and 204 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: he can come back. But it's tough tough to see. 205 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: So but let's move on, you know, let's kind of 206 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: talk about some options here. Let's talk about some options 207 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: where now a lot of people I'm seeing they're saying, like, Okay, well, 208 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: where the heck do we go from here? You know, 209 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: what do you even what do you even do? What 210 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: do you even do here? You know who takes over 211 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: at first base, Well, immediately, the guy that's going to 212 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: get the call is romy Gonzalez. He's gonna be the 213 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 1: one that steps in. He'll be the immediate answer. He 214 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: actually had himself a good game tonight, so you have that. However, 215 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 1: with romy Gonzalez, you know, he's been more of a 216 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: utility kind of a guy, a guy that can play 217 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: multiple positions, comes off the bench. Is he the answer 218 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: long term at first base? For this year? As of 219 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: right now, I would think he is going to be 220 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: the leading candidate for a guy to get most of 221 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: the reps at least in the near future. Now, another idea, 222 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: or at least the guy, a guy that could at 223 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: least maybe get a little bit of playing time at 224 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: first base Connor Wong. All right, Carlos Nirvias, he is 225 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: basically entrenched himself as the catcher. Connor Wong has played 226 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: some first base before, so I wonder if maybe you 227 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: could see him get a couple of a couple of nights, 228 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: get a couple of games at first base. We'll see. 229 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: I wonder if someone like Blake's Sable could get some 230 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: reps there. But out of the three, obviously, Rome Gonzalez 231 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: is gonna be the guy they call upon right now. 232 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: But long term, well, that's a different question in itself. 233 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: Could they go out into the free agent market. There 234 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: are still some guys out there, Anthony Rizzo. If they 235 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: wanted to go get a left handed bat, could they 236 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: maybe call upon Anthony Rizzo about that? That sounds a 237 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: little out of the question if you ask me, But 238 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: I did see a couple of people mention it on 239 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: Twitter land. You know there are some other you know, 240 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: you got some other guys out there. But if there 241 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: was a free agent that maybe you could call maybe 242 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 1: Anthony Rizzo. Probably not, though probably not. However, there is 243 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: another guy in the organization. This is where you start 244 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: to get into probably pipe dream. Maybe it could happen. 245 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it will, but it's there. Could Raffie 246 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: Devers move into first base? Right obviously he was the 247 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: third baseman. Alex Bregman came in and he took over 248 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: that position, and I think that was the right move. 249 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: Raffi Devers named the DH If he really wants to 250 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: play in the field, could this be a spot for 251 00:13:54,440 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: him to say, Hey, how about me at first base? Maybe? 252 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: I don't know about it, though I don't My guess 253 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: is probably not, at least in the near future. To me, 254 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be moving to first base, I would 255 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: imagine they would. Probably the best scenario would be to 256 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: have an entire offseason to work on it. That's probably 257 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: the best scenario. Or maybe they've give him a couple 258 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: of weeks before the games, he takes some ground balls 259 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: there and they see what he can do. I don't know. 260 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: My guess is this probably doesn't happen. Probably doesn't happen. Oh, 261 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: I forgot one more guy. I'm sorry, I forgot one 262 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: more guy within the organization, Von Grissom. Von Grissom has 263 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: been playing some first base at Triple A so far, 264 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: four games a first base already on the year, hitting 265 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: very well at Triple A right now, hitting three or 266 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: no sorry, hitting two eighty seven eight thirteen ops overall. 267 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: Could this be his chance to get in at first base? 268 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: I think this could be reasonable now. I think Romey 269 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: is going to be the immediate answer, but I think 270 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: Vaughn at some point could get a call in the 271 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. So sorry for leaving off on Grissa. 272 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: My mind went right to RAFFI after that, So I 273 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: think there is a realistic chance of Vaughan getting a 274 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: call at some point. Let's see how things shake up. 275 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: Getting back to Devers, though, again, I don't think this 276 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: is realistic. I made a joke about it on Twitter. 277 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: I put the Scott Hadiberg picture from the movie Moneyball 278 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: when they were talking to him in his living room 279 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: saying hey, we want you to play first base, and 280 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: he just had this confused look and uh again with Raffi, 281 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: I've personally sat on record before I think a third 282 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: baseman can move over to first base. You've seen it 283 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: many times in the past. Aberpooholes did it, Ryan Zimmerman 284 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: did it. Kevin Euclus did it. Kevin Euclas was a 285 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: third baseman, Remember he moved over to first RAFFI, I 286 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: think he could do it. I think he would be 287 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: fine there. I know a lot of people out there 288 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: freak out about it. I think you would be fine personally. 289 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: That's just my thinking, And honestly, I actually wonder if 290 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: the Red Sox think it's fine too. We talked about 291 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: this in the offseason, right, remember when they were talking 292 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: about Nolan Aaronato, Right, you know, if you bring him 293 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: over then RAFFI can go to DH or first base. Well, 294 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: the same conversation with Alex Bregman whenever he came up 295 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: with RAFFI, I think he has potential to play some 296 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: first base. I don't think it would be a Gold 297 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: Glover by any means, but I think he could get 298 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: the job done. Now, Bryce Harper, you know a lot 299 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: of people point to him as another example, Bryce Harper, 300 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say we can all agree 301 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: Bryce Harper is going to be He's the much more 302 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: athletic player, and so he was able to transition to 303 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: the riggers of first base. But yes, different example, different case, 304 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: but it has been done multiple times. I don't think 305 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: this happens, but I wonder if it could be a 306 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: conversation that comes up. And I'm sorry I got away 307 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: from the off season thing. There were talks, you know, 308 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: there are some rumblings this past offseason. You know, could 309 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: RAFFI remember they were talking about trading Tristan Cassas. You know, 310 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: sorry to bring that up, you know, on you know, 311 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: the night that he gets injured, but I'm just using 312 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: it to talk about Raffi. Here. Kassas was coming up 313 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: in trade rumors this past offseason, so was Raffi, you know, 314 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: kind of their plan to move to first you know, 315 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: if they went after if they got a third baseman. 316 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what the conversation was. You know, Lumerloni, 317 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: he's been on record saying that he thinks Raffi could 318 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: play first base. I honestly think there has been conversations 319 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: based off of people that I've talked to, you know, 320 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: people speculating. I think there's been people in the organization 321 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: that have brought up the fact that Raffi could play 322 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: first again. Though it's kind of a it's an immediate need, 323 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: So I don't know if this is realistic right now. 324 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: I think you would need some if this war to happen, 325 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: I think it would need to be at some point 326 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: down the road. He would need to get some time 327 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: at first base, pregame, get you know, work on the 328 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: ground balls over there. Yeah, right now, like tomorrow. Pro No, 329 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: that's that's not going to happen now. Another idea, Jared 330 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: Carabas put this out there. He h he actually put 331 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: the idea out of Raffi Devers at first base. You know, 332 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: Jared Crabbas, you know Jared Crabas. Anytime he puts something 333 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: out there, you know, he puts out like these little 334 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 1: uh it gives you like these almost these little easter eggs. 335 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: I mean the fact that he's even suggesting Raffi at 336 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: first base, I think that might say something. And I 337 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: have talked to people that have said that they think 338 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: there has been discussions of Raffi possibly playing first base. 339 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: Another idea, you could put Rafi if you were to 340 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: go this route. We're just speculating here, we're just having 341 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of fun. Don't go crazy. If you 342 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: were to put Rafia first, well, maybe that could open 343 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: up Massa Hoki Yoshida coming back to be the DH, 344 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 1: just like the Section ten guys do right, they put 345 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: the hands up. I mean he has you know, the 346 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: latest news on Masa. He's not even throwing or he's 347 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: not progressing on his throwing program. Well, if you want 348 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: to throw him in back to the lineup, well there 349 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: you go. You can be your DH. And I see 350 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: you in the chat, Nick cap Robbie. Do you think 351 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: they could bring up y'as money to play first that's 352 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: possible too. Now I didn't even think about that. I 353 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: think that's possible. I think anything is open for conversation 354 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: right now. I think they're gonna wait and see what 355 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: the final verdict is on Cassis, and I think they're 356 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: gonna have a meeting of the mines. I mean, they're 357 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: probably already having a meeting of the mines right now. 358 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: Probably Craig Breslo is probably in you know, Cora's office, 359 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: or Core is in his office right now. I would imagine, 360 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: if not now, it's gonna be at some point later 361 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: tonight or early tomorrow morning. So they're probably going over 362 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different options right now. Listen, I 363 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: think YASMANI, now that you bring it up, I think 364 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: that could be a possibility. He has played some first 365 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: base before. How much first base has YASMANI played in 366 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: his career? Obviously veteran catcher, but let's see how much 367 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: does he have at first base? Oh, he's played a 368 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: lot of first base, go back to I mean, not 369 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: his most time. The most time he's had at first 370 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: was twenty nineteen when he was with the Brewers, one 371 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: hundred and forty three innings played. But yeah, this could 372 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: be an opening, absolutely absolutely. Now again, let's get back 373 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: to the Devers thing. We're just doing this for fun. 374 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: We're doing this for fun. If Raffi could be the 375 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: option at first base, maybe this could be the opening 376 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: for Roman Anthony. Right you move, you move Rafi over 377 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: to first. Roman can split time in the outfield in DH. 378 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: You can do some kind of a rotation like will 379 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: you're Roman splitting time outfield? D H said, he gets 380 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: a day off. You know, however, they do it right, 381 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: this could be a way to work Roman Anthony into 382 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: the lineup, a left handed bat that replaces Cossas's left 383 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: handed bat seamlessly. It's an idea, and let's get this. 384 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: Let's get the let's address you know, the elephant in 385 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: the room. I know what people are thinking right now, 386 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: Tony Mazerati, the you know, the Boston sports radio guys. 387 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: They've been talking about Roman Anthony playing first base. Listen. 388 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: I'm never gonna say never, never gonna say never, but 389 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: I highly, highly doubt that Roman Anthony is gonna be 390 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: playing first base. He's a very good defensive outfielder. He's 391 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: not gonna be you know, Sieday Raphael, but he's considered 392 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: an above average outfielder. He's got a good arm out there. 393 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: To me, and even Craig Breslo, you know, touched on it, 394 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: right he said, I'm paraphrasing, but he basically said something 395 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: along the lines of you know, you're he almost said, 396 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,479 Speaker 1: like hinted at the fact that you're almost wasting his 397 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: full potential by playing first base. Developmentally, I don't think 398 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: it's a I don't think it's a great idea. Honestly, 399 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: I want him in the outfield because he's a good outfielder. 400 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: If he was a bad outfielder, well then that's a 401 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: different conversation. But he's a good outfielder. So I'm just saying, 402 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: but this could be an opening if Raffi plays first. 403 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: Don't really see this happening, though, you never know. We've 404 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: seen crazier things. We'll just have to wait and see. 405 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: But that's really the big news here on trstan Cassis. 406 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: You hate to see it. It's unfortunate. I do think. 407 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: I think my guess is he's going to be out 408 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: for the year. The way he fell, the way he crumbled, 409 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: the way he grabbed his knee structured off. That doesn't 410 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: happen unless you know you got a pretty you got 411 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: something very severe. I wouldn't even doubt for a second. 412 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 1: If you know, the trainers that were that were attending him, 413 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: they thought immediately like, yeah, this this could be pretty bad. 414 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: You're not gonna grab the structure for nothing. You know 415 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: that that's pretty serious. So I hate to say it. 416 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong, but I think he's very likely 417 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: to be out for the year. That's just a guess. 418 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: I haven't been told anything. I don't know anything. I'm 419 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: just basing off of what I saw and injuries that 420 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: I've seen in the past. It just looks like a 421 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: clear cutcase of either an ACL tear a moniscous thing, 422 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: or patella tear, quad tendon tear, whatever it may be. 423 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: I don't know who knows. You know, maybe it's something 424 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: else that we're not even thinking of it. I don't know, 425 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: something with someone with his ankle. I don't know who knows. 426 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: Either way, it didn't look good. I am wishing the 427 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: best for Trustan Cassus. I'm praying for the man again. 428 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: He gave me the time of day when you know, 429 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: no one you know really had to, you know. Obviously, 430 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: I had the pleasure of talking to Walker Buehler and 431 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell at that game. I went to But the 432 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: fact that Cassas again came running over to me and 433 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: asked if I was still available. You know, it's my 434 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 1: first time ever at a pre game, you know, doing 435 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: interviews with players. And the fact that he didn't forget 436 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: about me and he came running right over to me, 437 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: that was pretty cool to me, And that that said 438 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: a lot about the person that he is. He could 439 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: have went right down into the dugout, right into the 440 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: clubhouse and he did not even have to talk to me. 441 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: We were pretty much already separated, right because I had 442 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: asked him before he was doing what to do his 443 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: ground balls and VP. He could have just went in 444 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: the clubhouse and it wouldn't see me again. So yeah, 445 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: I that that that said a lot to me about 446 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: the person he is. So as for the game tonight. 447 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: As for the game tonight, let's get to Brian Bayo, 448 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: Let's get to Brian Bail. Very good night for Brian Bail, 449 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: just in control most of the night, right, gave up 450 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: the home run to Ryan Jeffers there, but just looking crisp, 451 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: you know, using the sinker, using the slider, you know, 452 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: mixing around the zone. Just a nice steady night for 453 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: Brian Bayo for the most part, right to get some help, 454 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 1: you know, someone like you know Jared Duran making a 455 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: great play earlier in the game, had a diving catch 456 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: and left field. But for the most part, Brian Bayo 457 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: was in control. Six and two thirds one, earned five 458 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: k's on the night. This is what we've been hoping 459 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: for for Brian Bayle, Right, He's had his times of inconsistencies, 460 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 1: but we've been hoping for him to just be consistent, 461 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: and so far since he's come back, he's been very 462 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: consistent him right working to the seventh inning. Wasn't fully 463 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: able to get through that seven, but great knight for 464 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: Brian Bao. Sure, this is a Twins team that has 465 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: been struggling so far this year, but give him a 466 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: lot of credit man, he's looked great since coming back. 467 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: As to the offense, As to the offense here, like 468 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: I said, stepping up tonight, very good night for the 469 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: offense man. Great nights for Alex Bregman, Raffi, David Hamilton, 470 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: Roami Gonzalez had himself a good game. Bregman two for four. 471 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: He started the scoring tonight home run. I will keep 472 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: saying this every time Bregman has himself a good game. 473 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna go down as one of the 474 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: best Red Sox free agent signings of all time. He's 475 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: looking fantastic. He's looking like an MVP candidate right now. 476 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: Raffi Devers, great night for him, two for four double 477 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: there earlier in the game. But then he basically, you know, 478 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: had the I don't say the game winning hit, but 479 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: he was the one that put the Red Sox ahead 480 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: for good. Obviously. That got started there with Wong and 481 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: David Hamilton getting base hits and then SETI love me 482 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: a good sedame, rafaela bunt, I love me a bunt. 483 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: What can I say? But moving the runners over. You know, 484 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: people say don't bunt, don't waste outs, but there are 485 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: times that are good to lay down a bunt. That 486 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: was the right time, no outs, a couple of runners on, 487 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: moved the runners over there to second and third. Raffi 488 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,239 Speaker 1: with a hard hit ball. Edward Julian couldn't come up 489 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: with it. You know, it's kind of weird. I thought 490 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: he was gonna come up with it, honestly, and he 491 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: just couldn't get his hand. He couldn't get a good 492 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: grip on it. Raffi gets the first couple of runs 493 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: score that made a three to one. Eighth inning. Story 494 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: with the base hit, romy Hammy with the doubles, got 495 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: some runs driven in that made a five to one. 496 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 1: Duran had a base hit that made a six to one. 497 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: Just a good all around offensive performance tonight. I really 498 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: like that. Trevor Story went two for four in this one. 499 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 1: Good night for the offense. Really loved what I saw there. Again, 500 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: it's been an inconsistent offense. They just gotta find ways, 501 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: man to just keep this going right, and let's see 502 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: what this lineup is going to look like. You know, 503 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: I will say this with Casas, you know again and 504 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, obviously, you know, thoughts go out and prayers 505 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: go out. He has been struggling this year up to 506 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: this point, right, I wonder what they do with this lineup, 507 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, are they gonna go you know, with some switches, 508 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, because again Cassas he's been lately, he's been 509 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: more towards the bottom of the order. So is Alex 510 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: core gonna make some kind of an adjustment to where 511 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: he puts, you know, a strong bat towards the bottom 512 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 1: of the lineup. Well, first off, let's see, you know 513 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: how this goes. But you know, I would imagine Romy's 514 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: just gonna go there. But you know, if you're looking 515 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the lineup, you would have Romy, 516 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: you'd have Carlos Nirvaas and O'Connor Wong whenever he plays, 517 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: and then Siday Raphael. So the one thing about Cassas, 518 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: I thought, yes, it was good to put him at 519 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: the bottom of the order because he was still trying 520 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: to find his way. But he's still a presence there, 521 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: right Cassus. We all know the damage she can do. 522 00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: So the fact that you know you had a bat 523 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 1: like that in the seventh spot, you know, six'. Seven 524 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: you Know, campbell he's been out in the last couple of. 525 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: Games he should be back. Tomorrow but, uh the fact 526 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: you had a bat like that at the bottom of the, 527 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: ORDER i thought that that was pretty solid to. Have 528 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: so it's gonna be interesting to, see you know what 529 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: kind of. CHANGES i don't think it's gonna be anything 530 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: major by any, means BUT i feel like you lost 531 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: a bit of a presence there With costas at the. 532 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: Bottom so we'll see what ends up. Happening we'll, See but, 533 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: again very curious to see what is going to be 534 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: the long term. Answer, again short term. Answer at first, 535 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: base you're looking At Rome. Gonzalez Maybe Connor wong can 536 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: get a game, there whatever it may, be Right Von, 537 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: grissom could he get called? UP i think that's. Possible yah's, Money. 538 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: Grendahl could this be an option for? HIM i think? 539 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: So Could raffi be the option at first? Base my 540 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: guess is, No but crazier things have. Happened who. Knows 541 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: maybe he feels like this could be a moment for 542 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: him to step up for the. Team who knows what the, 543 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: again you, Know i've told you What i've been told 544 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: About raffi at first. Base who knows what they're thinking is? 545 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: NOW i don't, Know but maybe he steps, Up maybe he, says, 546 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: hey put me, there you, KNOW i don't. Know it's 547 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: gonna be very interesting to pay attention. To could this 548 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: be the moment to call Up Roman? Anthony? Again it's 549 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: kind of, like where do you Fit roman at this? 550 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: Point but since you lost a presence like that With, 551 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: casus could this be the time to get another left 552 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: handed bat into the?
