1 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: How may do it? Everybody. Welcome to Boss the Territory, 2 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: brought to you by the Foul Territory Network. Welcome to 3 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: tonight's show. And it's a good one. Tonight the biggest 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,439 Speaker 1: win of the year coming into the night. Four and 5 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: twelve in one run games. Oh in sixteen when trailing 6 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: after the sixth inning, lots of negativity lately, four straight 7 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: losses coming in. I've been seeing people today saying you 8 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: got to fire Alex Corps. Brandon Hyde unfortunately got fired 9 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: from the Baltimore Orioles today. You needed something here, You 10 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: needed a bit of a boost, You needed a bit 11 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: of a jolt, and Raffie Devers he gave it to 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: you tonight. Walk off home run for him tonight, the 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: first of his career. This was a great win. Was 14 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: it a clean win? No, it was not. But they 15 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: showed a lot of good character tonight. You fell behind 16 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: early Gielida with the rough day. We'll get into that, 17 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: but they battled back. They played good defense along the way, 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: the bullpen held strong. They did what they needed to 19 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: do to come back into this game. And this is 20 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: one of those wins where could you look back on this? 21 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: You know a few months from now and say that 22 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: was the win that got the Red Sox song track. 23 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: It's a character building win, it's an identity kind of 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: building win. It's you know, no, I'm not gonna sit 25 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: here and say it was you know, like the A 26 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: Rod the a Rod veritec Brawl game where Bill Miller 27 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: hit the walk off home run and it felt like 28 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: after that the Red Sox completely turned their season around. No, 29 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: I'm not going to go to that point, but you 30 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: look back and you think, Okay, you know what, that 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,279 Speaker 1: was the one that gave us a bit of a spark. 32 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: We'll see what ends up happening. But you needed something 33 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: like that. You needed to feel good about something. And 34 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: you know, it's not just the walk off. It was 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: how they got is what I liked about it. Obviously 36 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: I love the walkoff. Who doesn't like a good walk off, 37 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: But it was how they got there, It was how 38 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: they built to it, and it was how they just 39 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: kept it going the entire night. You like seeing that 40 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: grit from the team. You haven't seen really a whole 41 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: lot of that this year so far. So but before 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: we do get into the rest of the show, we 43 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: do have a word from tonight's sponsor. 44 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 2: Hey ft fam Hello Fresh as America's number one meal 45 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: kit cam because we're busy and we would like all 46 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: of the ingredients to cook up something nice and make 47 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: us look like elite chefs at home. 48 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: You know what I do. 49 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 3: I've got kids in basketball, I've got soccer, I've got 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: best I've got baseball, And when they get home, there's 51 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 3: a fresh meal and they think, oh, Dad, he's so great.

Let's 67 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: get to it here. You know, I'm gonna start off 68 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: with the bad unfortunately. I know we all want to 69 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: talk about the good news, but let's build to that. 70 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: Let's see how we got there. Gielito bad star for 71 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: him tonight. He just didn't have it, you know, stuff wise, 72 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: he was actually not bad tonight. You know, spin rates 73 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: were looking good for the most part with Gilito. It 74 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: was the location that was the problem for him. And honestly, 75 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: you know, I was a little curious about the pickchmix 76 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: because I noticed he was throwing a lot more fastballs 77 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: than his last outing. He lowered the SLA slighter usage 78 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: a little bit, but then I dug into the numbers 79 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: a little bit. Well, the Braves, they haven't been a 80 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: very good fastball hitting team this year, so that's why 81 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: I think he was really trying to lean into the fastball. 82 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: And they've actually hit sliders well, so that's why I 83 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: think you saw a bit less on the slider compared 84 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: to his last outing. So I think he tried to 85 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: go with a different approach, but unfortunately the location he 86 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: just didn't have it tonight he was hanging pitches. Home 87 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: runs galore. Tonight, three home runs allowed from Lucasgilito. Matt 88 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: Olsen's second straight game with a home run. Right after that, 89 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: Marcelo Zuna he hung the change up to matt Olsen. There, 90 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: Ozuna he hung a slider. Again. Stuff wasn't looking bad. 91 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: He just wasn't locating very well. And then later on 92 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: Baldwin hit a homer. It looked foul at first. You know, 93 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: there was a lot of debate going on. I saw 94 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: on Twitter Land and you know, people saying there was 95 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: no way that was a fair ball. But hey, they 96 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: reviewed it and they held it. So that ended up 97 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: making at five to nothing. Austin Riley had a base 98 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: hit that added on a six run for the Braves. 99 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: Average exit v low against gi Alito tonight was ninety 100 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: three and a half miles an hour. That is that's 101 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: not gonna cut it, ladies and gentlemen. That was a 102 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 1: not very good night for Lucas Giledo, But luckily the 103 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: bullpen came in after him and they were able to 104 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: hold it down. Now, let's get to let's get to 105 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: the good stuff here. Let's get to the good stuff right, 106 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, Gilido's bad night, It's set the table for 107 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: a memorable night overall. And hey credit a Grant Holmes 108 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: tonight with the Braves. He had a pretty good start 109 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: his last time out, and he kept the momentum going 110 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: here in Femway Park, and he was pretty solid. Six innings, 111 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: three hits, two earned. He did walk four but struck 112 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: out five along the way. Gave up the home run 113 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: to Jared Duran. Jared Duran, what a night for him. Listen, 114 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: he is the straw that stirs the drink. When Jared 115 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: Duran is on top of his game, I feel like 116 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: good things happen. You know, he's one of these guys 117 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: where he's been struggling this year. He's been inconsistent. But 118 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: when he does do something, I feel like this offense 119 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: they go right along with him. Every time he's been 120 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: able to have, you know, impact on the offensive side 121 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: of the game, it's usually pretty good. You know, you're 122 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: seeing mostly extra base hits. When he gets on base, 123 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: you know he's running wild. You know. So when Jared 124 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: Duran the bat is alive, it's usually good. But when 125 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: he's not and there's just nothing going on, it's either 126 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: all or nothing for Jared Duran this year pretty much 127 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to say. But a great night 128 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: for him overall, two for five, home run, four RBIs 129 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: on the night. Home run the third inning made it 130 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: five to two at that point. Raffi had the double 131 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: right after him. We'll talk about raffiing just a little bit. 132 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: He had a good night as well. But after that 133 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: they weren't able to get anything going. Now, Uh, fifth inning, 134 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: they did have a little something cooking there. Duran ended 135 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: up getting on thanks to the throat going error. Raffi walked, 136 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: So you had a couple of guys there, but Bregman, 137 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell not able to come up with anything. But 138 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: you know, I felt like at that time, as I 139 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: was watching, I was trying very hard not to let 140 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: all of the negative thoughts creep into my head, but 141 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: I kind of fell I was like, all right, you 142 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: know what they're trying to battle here, They're trying to 143 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: just make things happen, and uh, you know, it is 144 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: what it is. But the fifth inning, nothing doing. Sixth inning, 145 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: We're actually gonna talk about the defense here. Alex Verdugo. 146 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,119 Speaker 1: We all love Alex Verdugo. Don't we What was Alex 147 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: Verdugo doing on the base pats there? The Braves they 148 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: actually got something cooking there. But Duran there was a 149 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: base hit to left Verdugo. I saw him rounding third, 150 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, what the heck are you doing? Good thing? 151 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,679 Speaker 1: Duran was nice and alert right there, strong throw home, 152 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: accurate throw and Verdugo is out by a mile, so 153 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: give it up to Duran on the defensive side of things, 154 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking too, I mean, you had Marcelo Zuna 155 00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: up next, so I don't know if that was good. 156 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: The missed call was Verdugo trying to be aggressive. I 157 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: don't know what happened there, but the Red Sox did 158 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: get a bit of a birthday gift with that. But 159 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: good for Duran for staying alert out there and making 160 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: a good throw and that Honestly, if the if Verdugo 161 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: doesn't round third and he stays there and then you 162 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: got Ozuna coming up, we could be having a completely 163 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: different conversation right now. That I felt like was the 164 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: turning point a bit in the game. You know, obviously 165 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: the Red Sox they've had their ups and downs offensively 166 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: this year, so I wasn't you know fully, you know 167 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: on board, you know with the comeback at fully at 168 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: that point, but I'm thinking, like, all right, if there's 169 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: something that can maybe you know, get a little momentum 170 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: building here. That was it. Seventh inning. He had a 171 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: rally right after that set he with the leadoff double, 172 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: Raffi rbi base hit. Like I said, good night for him. 173 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: That made a six to three. Bragman with the double 174 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: that made it six to four, and he just felt 175 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: the momentum building at that point. Eighth Inny given. Abraham 176 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: Toro showed up tonight. Abraham Toro do in a couple 177 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: of things. I mean, who knows how long he's gonna 178 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: be there at first base. Christian Campbell looking like he's 179 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: gonna be the first base but he was getting more 180 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: work today at first base. I think it's going that way, 181 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, especially with what happened with Raffi tonight. 182 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but we'll get to that. He had 183 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: the double, Narf Dog with the bass hit, Hamilton pink Ran, 184 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: he ended up moving up and then Duran with the 185 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: clutch base hit that tied the game. Just a great 186 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: knight for Jaron Duran you know, that's just a good 187 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: knight for him, because this is a guy, like I've said, 188 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: he's either just extremely hot or extremely cold. But this 189 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: is one of those nights where he can really start 190 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: to build some confidence and start to take a big 191 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: step forward with his season. The numbers have been down 192 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: compared to last year, and then the ninth inning roll 193 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: this Chatman. Big shout out to him, big shout out 194 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: to the bullpen for holding it down for the most part. 195 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: I think Chatman coming in three strikeouts to lock it down, 196 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: did give up a base hit, but that's set the 197 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: stage for Raffie Devers walk of home run, first career 198 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: walk off for Raffi Devers. I'm gonna be honest with you. 199 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: You know, obviously a lot of us out there, including myself, 200 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: have felt the right thing to do is for Raffi 201 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: to play first base, to step up for the team. 202 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: You know, Tristan Cassa is going down, and you know, 203 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: because it opens up the designated hitter spot. Whether or 204 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: not that's Roman Anthony getting called up, Massa Taki Yoshida 205 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: coming back. You know what, I'm gonna be honest with you. 206 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: Seeing a walk off home run the night you know, 207 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: the night that he had three for four. I mean, honestly, 208 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: Raffi is really settled in over the last month or so, 209 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: after that bad start, he's really just you know, looking 210 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: like the hitter we've all envisioned. And I will say 211 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: this about Raffi as well. You know, going into the season, 212 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: you know we're mid you know we're going into the offseason. Honestly, 213 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, Man, if Raffi ends up 214 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: being the DH one way or another, I'm thinking, man, 215 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: this is gonna be David Ortiz two point oh because 216 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: the fact that he won't have to worry about the 217 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: defense at third base, which has been statistically terrible in 218 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: his career. I'm thinking, Man, if this guy is a 219 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: d H, I mean, holy cal we can end up 220 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: seeing the best offensive season from Raffi in his career. 221 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,599 Speaker 1: And ever since that bad start, he's been looking phenomenal. 222 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: And now you had a walk off on top of that. 223 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: You gotta love it, man, you gotta love it. You know, Raffi. 224 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: You know, obviously, the lot, like I said, a lot 225 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: of the talk lately has been first base, you know, 226 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: him stepping up for the team. Obviously, you know, the 227 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: whole the post game scrum that he had not too 228 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: long ago saying he didn't want to play first base. 229 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, he was catching a lot of flak for that, 230 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: and uh, you know from everywhere, not just fans, but 231 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: the national media was talking about it. So not it 232 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: was not a very good couple of weeks for Raffi, 233 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: especially on the uh in the public relations side of things, right, 234 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: John Henry went to Kansas City to go talk to him. 235 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: But the bat has looked great. This is one of 236 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: those moments where you can look at Raffi and say, 237 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: all right, you know what, you weren't comfortable playing first base? 238 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: If we have another answer, cool, But let's keep seeing 239 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Let's see, let's keep seeing these clutch 240 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: moments from Raffi. And it really brought back memories of 241 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: David Ortiz, to be completely honest with you, really did so. 242 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: I even posted a picture on Twitter Rafi and David 243 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: Ortiz H. Hey, you trust me. You know Red Sox fans, Yes, 244 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: we want our team to win, but we have been 245 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: spoiled over the years. I'll say that David Ortiz man, 246 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: that guy was magic. You know how many how many 247 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: games that I see growing up where David Ortiz had 248 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: a walk off, you know, brought back good memories, brought 249 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: back good memories. So huge win. You gotta love that. 250 00:12:55,640 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: And like I said, this was a character building win. 251 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: This was an identity building win for the Red Sox, 252 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: or at least hopefully it goes that way. Obviously they 253 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: need to go win tomorrow, you know, to you know, 254 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: get back at five hungured, right, So they're gonna have 255 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: to you know, still, you got to get some work 256 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: done here and obviously not just there, you got to 257 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: keep going after that, you know. Obviously high expectations coming 258 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: into the year and to see the Red Sox playing 259 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: the way they've been playing as of late. Like I 260 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: said in the intro, you know, people were talking today 261 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: after Brandon Hyde got fired saying, hey, Alex Cora, you know, 262 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: is he next? That's kind of how bad it's been 263 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: getting lately for Red Sox fans. So this was a 264 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: win the Red Sox I feel like desperately needed. If 265 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: they had lost this one tonight, I mean, you lose 266 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: another series after getting swept. I mean, okay, I didn't. 267 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have even gone on Twitter tonight to even 268 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: see what people had to say, so I was big 269 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: love the comeback, a gritty win. I just wonder, you know, 270 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: if we look back on this night, you know, is 271 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: this the night that where the Red Sox they looked 272 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: at themselves of the mirror and said, you know what, 273 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: we are capable of being a good team. We can 274 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: dig deep, we can make these comebacks. We do have 275 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: that grit. Let's start seeing more of this. This is 276 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: what I like to see. Good abs, working counts, not 277 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: striking out left and right, putting the bat on the 278 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: ball as easy as that sounds, making good contacts, good 279 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: situational abs, you know, just doing the little things you 280 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: gotta do to win the game. You know, good to see, 281 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: good to see. Before we do get to the last 282 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: couple of segments tonight, we're gonna be talking about Game 283 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: three here in a second, and we do have a 284 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: little something something down in the minor leagues. We all 285 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: have one eye at Triple A right now with the 286 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: WU socks. But before I do move on, we do 287 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: have another word. I'm a sponsor for. 288 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: Tonight ftfan by now. You know, if you're buying, selling, trading, 289 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 2: collecting cards, Arena Club is the spot we've been talking 290 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 2: about them all season long. But I do want to 291 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: focus on the slab pack experience, Scrats. Since you've been 292 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 2: ripping some slab packs digitally and what happens. 293 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 4: I mean, as a kid, you wanted to rip open 294 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: the packs. How can they do this digitally? Oh baby, 295 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 4: this is exciting how the graphics come out and everything. 296 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: And oh yeah, the card that you pull you can 297 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 4: actually get that John physically, so it's perfect. It's all 298 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 4: in one place and it's a super exciting experience. 299 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, they send that to you from the vault if 300 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: you want it. But if you look at it and 301 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: you're like, it's not the card for me, I want 302 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 2: to sell back. 303 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: Go for it. 304 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 2: You can do any of that on Arena Club, and 305 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: you can acquire the best value for your money with 306 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: those slab packs, transparent checklists, and Arena Club's slab Safe program. 307 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: Right now, you can get twenty percent off your first 308 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 2: slab pack or card purchase by going to arenaclub dot 309 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 2: com slash foul and use code foul Arena club dot 310 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: com slash val use code found. 311 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to it here. And I see a 312 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: couple of you talking in the shat Emma, I see 313 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: when the shat Jaren has been unlucky with his babbitb 314 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: I actually took a look at the babbit a little earlier. 315 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: He is above league average right now, I believe at 316 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: a three twenty nine. League average as of right now 317 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: is a two ninety. So that kind of ties into 318 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: what I was saying earlier with Duran, where when he 319 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: is getting his hits, when he is putting the ball 320 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: in play, it's usually very good, right, But when he's 321 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: not putting the ball in play, it's just nothing, you know. 322 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: So with Duran it's really all or nothing at this point. 323 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: So we need to start seeing more consistency. But he's 324 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: been looking good here the last couple of nights. Now, 325 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: I also see when the shat Red Sox die hard. 326 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: The crowd deserves its flowers for coming through and sticking 327 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: around after Giolito's bad star Absolutely right, you know, yeah, 328 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: the fan base, this is going to help. And you 329 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: got a thing from the Red Sox players point of 330 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: view too, right, So many expectations coming into this year. 331 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: They've been pressing as of late. It feels like every 332 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: aspect of this team has been pressing one way or 333 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: the one way or the other, whether it's the offense 334 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: or the bullpen who've been blowing games. Gi Alito tonight 335 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: not looking his best even though the stuff I felt 336 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: like was there, He's missing his spots. You start to 337 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: feel that that tightness building with this team, and when 338 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: the fan base is you can feel them getting grumpy. 339 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: You know, you can just feel it in the air, 340 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: especially a Famiway Park. But I do give the fans 341 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: a Famiway Park a lot of credit. Tonight, Hey, rooting 342 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: this team on, man, that's what they need right now. 343 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: I feel like they, yes, we are frustrated, and yes 344 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: we want to see the w's and we want to 345 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: see the results. But at the same time, it's like, hey, 346 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 1: you know what, instead of just being like, hey, you 347 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: guys got to win, you know, it's how about you know, 348 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,040 Speaker 1: let's start trying to root them on a little a 349 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: little bit, right, you know, got to be behind our 350 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: team at the end of the day. Yes, we want 351 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: to see them win, but we need to you know, 352 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: and I know people will probably argue against it, but 353 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: you know, hey, let's give them a little bit of 354 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: a nudge. Let's give him a little bit of a push, 355 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's start, you know, really rooting for these guys. Man. 356 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: I know, it's it's very easy to get upset with 357 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: this team, you know, especially how it's been the last 358 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: few years, and you know, obviously the expectations coming into 359 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,199 Speaker 1: the year and not getting the w's right, I understand that. 360 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's and I know it's 361 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: hard to stay positive, but really try to root this 362 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: team on, man, especially when you're at Famway Park, that 363 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: these guys could use it, you know, And I'm glad 364 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: they came through tonight. It was such a great win. Now, 365 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: I love that win. Honestly, going back over the last 366 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five years or so, it's probably one of 367 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: my favorite wins, to be honest with it. It's on 368 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: Fox tonight, on the national stage. You get the walk 369 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: off like that. Just a feel good win. Honestly, one 370 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: of my favorites over the last several years. So let's 371 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: go to Game three here. Let's go to Game three 372 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: and listen, hey, they still gotta go win a series, 373 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: still gotta win a series here, but you got a 374 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 1: tough matchup. Spencer Schwellenbach going for the Braves. He's been 375 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: very good here over the last couple of years. Young righty, 376 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: he's been looking great. Three point three one ERA so 377 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: far in the year forty six. K's he's got a 378 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 1: lot of different pictures that he likes to throw. Let's 379 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: pull up the numbers with him. Overall numbers, like I said, 380 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: Era had a three point three one Fipps out a 381 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: three point five to seven so far, right under eight 382 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: strikeouts per nine. But where he's been very good is 383 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: the command. He's gonna throw a lot of strikes under 384 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: two walks per nine so far in the year, right 385 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: around a home run per nine. The series seeing a 386 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: little bit of a bumping v Low as well. Now 387 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: with with Schwelling Bach, he's gonna have a lot of 388 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: different pictures. He's got a fastball, slider, he's got a 389 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 1: sink or he plays with. He's got a change up, 390 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: he's got a cutter and that he's got a curveball 391 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: as well. He's got throw a lot of different pitches. 392 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: This is not going to be an easy matchup for 393 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: the Red Sox tomorrow and Brian Bao. I think this 394 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: is a big star form to me. You know, I 395 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: was talking about this not too long ago with a 396 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: buddy of mine. And you know, I feel like for 397 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: so long Brian Beao, he's been getting these comparisons to 398 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: Pedro Martinez, you know, and I think that it was 399 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: an unfair comparison, right, both coming out of the Dominican Republic. 400 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: You see similarities with the wind up. Both have good stuff. 401 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: But with Brian Bao, you know, he hasn't been able 402 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: to really find that next gear consistently ever since coming 403 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: up to the Red Sox not too long ago, and 404 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: so far this year. Sure he's keeping the runs down, 405 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: but I am a smigs worried about Bao as of 406 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: right now. Sure the era is at a two point 407 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: three to three as you can see here on the screen, 408 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: but the FIP is at a five point five five. 409 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: Why is that? Because he's walking a good amount of 410 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: batters and he's given up a few home runs so 411 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: far on the year through twenty seven innings, so he's 412 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: only got five point six walks per nine. When you 413 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: to start seeing that stuff starting to blossom a little 414 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: bit more. It's there, but it's you know, hitting his spots, 415 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: it's attacking the zone throwing strikes. That tends to be 416 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: the thing that really bites BeO in the butt. He 417 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: just falls behind, falls behind on hitters. So hopefully this 418 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: is a start where he can really dial it. In 419 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: the last couple of starts, he hasn't really been able 420 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: to go deep into the games. And we go take 421 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: a look yere. I mean, he hasn't been able to 422 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: get through five innings the last couple of starts against 423 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: the Tigers and the Rangers. You know, granted, you know, 424 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: going up against some good bats with both of those teams, 425 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: you know, but we'd like to see him really just 426 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: try to push through a little bit, you know, against 427 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,439 Speaker 1: Minnesota and Cleveland, he was looking pretty solid for the 428 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: most part, but you do want to see a bit 429 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: more out of Bayo. This is gonna be a tough 430 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: match up with Schwellenbach tomorrow, and when it comes to 431 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: the experience against Schwellenbach, not too much overall. Rafi does 432 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: have a home run against him. I'm just saying, you know, 433 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: it's pretty nice, especially after the walkoff tonight. So he's 434 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: had success against him in his career. It's only two abs, 435 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: but it's something. Jaron Iran, he's got a base hit 436 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: against him. I believe it was an opposite or sorry, 437 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: and an opposite that was a I believe that was 438 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: a double. I can't that was last year at some point, 439 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: extra base hit, whatever it was. Hamilton, Let's see does 440 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: he get into the line of tomorrow And he got 441 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: in there tonight, but I don't know, we'll see Rafael 442 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: a couple of AB's ref Snyder, so I refs and 443 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: I are probably not gonna see him. But now against Bao, 444 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys that have seen him 445 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: from last year. Right, we take a look here, Michael Harris, 446 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: He's had success against him. Albi's has a home run 447 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: against him. Verdugo has a home run against him. So 448 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: just saying, but this is not gonna be an easy 449 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: match up to me, Yes, tonight was a feel good win, 450 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: but I really want them to close the deal tomorrow. 451 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 1: Obviously I want them to win obviously, of course, you know, 452 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: but I think being able to close the deal on 453 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: a Braves team that's been playing pretty well as of late. 454 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: You know, Yes, they got off to the bad start 455 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: this year, but this is a talented team that they've 456 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: gotten themselves together over the last few weeks. Here, this 457 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: would be a feel Tonight was a feel good win. 458 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: If they could pull it off tomorrow. That's gonna be 459 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 1: a feel good series win. So definitely gonna be paying 460 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: attention to this one tomorrow obviously, But they got to 461 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: find a way to close this out. You can't fall 462 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: back even further, right, I mean, I hate that the 463 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: Red Sox are constantly floating around five hundred, but it 464 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: is what it is. Now, we do have one more 465 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 1: thing to talk about before the end of the show tonight, 466 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: and we got a little something from the Wu Socks. 467 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: All eye on Marcelo Meyer as of right now. All right, 468 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell, like we've talked about, he's getting reps at 469 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: first base. Saw some action there pregame today. We'll see 470 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: how that goes. But that feels like the direction the 471 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: Red Sox are going in Marcelo Meyer. He continues to 472 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: hit Dann at Triple A along with Roman Anthony. I mean, 473 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: these guys just keep on hitting. Roman Anthony hitting three 474 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: seventeen nine thirty two ops on the ear and then 475 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: Marcelo Meyer a couple of more hits for him tonight 476 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 1: RBI tonight hitting Q seventy three eight nineteen ops overall. So, honestly, 477 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: you know, if I'm gonna you know, maybe make a 478 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: prediction here, a little bit of a prediction. I feel 479 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: like maybe June first, somewhere around there, mid June. I 480 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: wonder how long the Red Sox wait. It really comes 481 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: down to, how's Campbell gonna be looking at first base? 482 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: That's really what it's gonna come down to, that he's 483 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: gonna go. I had some more pregame action here over 484 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: the next week or so, and I wonder if they 485 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: throw them into a game at some point next week 486 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: or at least in the next couple of weeks, I 487 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: would imagine, So we'll see how that goes, and if 488 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: things go smoothly, I would expect Marcello Meyer to get 489 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: the call by June first. I mean, if we were 490 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: to take a look here at the schedule, and we 491 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: were to take a look at the schedule here, they 492 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: do have a day off on the twenty ninth, so 493 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, that's less than two weeks away before we 494 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: go up against the Braves in Atlanta. Could they call 495 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: it Marcelo Meyer before that series? Their next day off 496 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: would be June fifth, before they go face the Yankees 497 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: for the first time on the year in the Bronx. 498 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: Could that be it? I think it's either gonna be 499 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: the twenty ninth or the fifth that we'll see Marcello Meyer. 500 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: Maybe the twelfth. I think it's gonna be one of 501 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: those days off, honestly, but everybody, I am out of 502 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: here for the night. Thank you so much for joining 503 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: me for the postgame show. This is a great win. 504 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: We'll be back here tomorrow for the series finale. Let's 505 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 1: see if the Red Sox and close it out. Go 506 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: have yourself a good night, everybody, and I'll talk to 507 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: you next time.
