WEBVTT - Red Sox Drop Series to A's | Postgame Reaction #117 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:11.879 Welcome to mouse the territory, Ladies and gentlemen. The Red 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.480 Sox lost a series here today. I don't even know 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.959 how to process that. It's been a long time since 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.480 they've lost this series. You got to go back all 0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:24.319 the way to the beginning of July when they dropped 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.920 two out of three to the Nationals. You lose two 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.720 in a row for the first time since then, as well, 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:31.920 it feels a little weird, feels a little out of place. 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.519 There's been a lot of winning as of late, and 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:39.520 here we are. You know, obviously, you go back over 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:43.199 this just this incredible time with the Red Sox fifteen 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.519 game winning streak, you put together another nine game winning streak. 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:49.680 I mean, just so many great moments along the way. 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.040 At some point that energy is gonna come back down. 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.440 You feel like this past weekend they looked a little 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.280 tired here, and when you're going up against a pitching 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:03.920 staff that ranks twenty ninth at the ERA and dead 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.560 last in FIP and you're not able to get much 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.080 going against those guys. Now, granted, I love Gage Jump JT. 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.720 Ginn looked very solid here today, but the numbers of 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.400 the numbers, and you know when you look at the 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.200 bullpen for the A's, it has not been a good 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.360 bullpen this year. Maybe you know, one or two guys 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.399 have been pretty good. But that really shows to me 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.319 it's starting to maybe catch up to him a little bit. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:29.680 This is where you feel like you could use a 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.400 little bit of a jolt. You could use a couple 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:37.400 of reinforcements Adley Rushman, perhaps Rom and Anthony where you at, 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.800 maybe a couple couple of little energy boosters could help. 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.840 At some point. We actually just got some pretty I mean, 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.040 I'm not gonna say like a big news, right, you know, 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:50.960 we got some news. Chad Tracy said, Adley is going 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.000 to be traveling to Toronto, gonna have a workout with 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:58.080 the team tomorrow and they'll reassess after that. He went 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:02.640 over three today adding or only batting here today. He 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.080 was the d H for the WU Socks here today. 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.840 He did have a drive out to right field. But 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.920 you know, just getting some AB's, right, So we'll see, 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.160 maybe we end up seeing Adlee at some point in 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.000 the next week or so. We'll have to wait and see. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.600 Hopefully we get some keep getting some more good news 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:21.880 on Roman. But like I said, you feel like the 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.119 it's starting to catch up to him a little bit. Right. 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:31.519 It felt like, you know, minus that rally yesterday in 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.680 the ninth inning, and you know minus you know, a 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.160 couple of things here today. You felt like they were 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.640 really lacking some energy. Eli White, you know, he had 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.040 a solid day first the Red Sox RBI had a 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.720 few hits here today. You know, he saw a little 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.760 bit of small ball, he saw some manufacturing of the runs. 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:52.160 But JT. Ginn was just really solid here today. Had 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:55.320 a good sinker, good change up, good slider. But listen, 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.920 when your top of the order is pretty much O 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.960 for my you know, will You're driving in a run 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.720 here today with a sack fly when you got your 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.639 leadoff Guy Setti in the one to two spots going 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.680 oh for ten, Monasterio in the five spot going over four. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:16.440 You know, Wilson Willier not providing the damage that we've 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.720 been seeing. Uh yeah, you're gonna have a tough day, 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.760 I would think, right, especially one to two in the 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.560 lineup going over ten. It is what it is again. 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.400 We saw a couple of you know, all right things 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.280 here today, but just not that same usual offense we've 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.600 been seeing over the last month. Again tip of the 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.160 Captain Jtgin you look really solid bullpen here today. There 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.960 were some good things, but then a couple of bumps 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:43.360 as well. Eric Miller once again, we cannot seem to 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:48.840 find the magic. Anytime they use an opener, they get it. 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.440 They just can't seem to figure this out. I don't 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.960 know what it is. But Eric Miller a bit of 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.720 a bumpy start. You know, he was all right. He 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.080 did strike out a couple, but give up a run there. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.360 But Brian Baal once again fantastic out of the bullpen, 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.360 did give him a run here today. But over four 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.640 innings he was solid. Tyron Guerrero, Giovanni Moran won two 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.200 three innings, but then garrettood Lockeroldas Chapmin in the end. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:15.160 There was one spot with Whitlock I'm thinking, what are 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:19.640 you doing? What? What? Why? I'll get to that in 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.279 just a little bit. But Earldas Chapman once again non 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.800 save situation. I don't know, he's just not He's not 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.800 the same in these situations. And then you combine the 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.960 fact that he's had issues with command this year. He's 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.840 not He's still really good, but he's not the same 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:40.920 Chatman that we saw last year. We're gonna go over 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.760 the numbers in just a little bit. But yeah, a 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:45.480 couple of a couple of things with Whitlock Chapman today 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.400 that did not go very well. We'll get to that, 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.080 but let's go over this today, ladies and gentlemen. Let's 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.159 go over the game really quick. We've got four games 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.160 with Toronto coming up. We'll go over the pitching matchups, 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.760 So go over what's going on with the Blue Jays 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.599 as of late. Welcome to the chat. Everybody, welcome, Welcome. 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.680 We got some members here, Moon Pie, Gabe, Phoenix, Joe. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:12.080 What's going on, guys? How are we doing? We got 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.599 p one, Pat, we got Emily, we got John, we 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:18.640 got Raphael, we got Josh, we got Rhode Island bound. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.320 What's going on? Everybody? Welcome to the chat. Hope everyone 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:25.000 has had a good weekend, minus the Red Sox losing 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.000 a couple of games. Howbe Everyone's having a good weekend 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.000 for the most part. And if you are listening to 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.680 this in the morning, please have a good start to 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.680 your week. Go have yourself a good week. How we doing? Everybody? Welcome, Welcome. 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:43.920 Let's start off. I guess I mean I get we'll 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:52.520 start off, you know, we'll go over the picture. I mean, 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.920 I'm not going to do the usual picture graphic because 0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:00.159 today was a bullpen game. So Eric Miller he went 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.960 for the first inning, Boltay Wilson with bass hits. He 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.960 strikes out high and he gets Soda Strong on the 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.520 ground out, but that ends up scoring a run. And 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:10.920 then he ends up strike striking out Tommy White on 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.359 a nasty slider. So, you know, minus the couple of 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.240 bass hits there, you know, Eric Miller looking solid. I 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.160 don't know what it is. They just can't figure out 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.000 these openers, man. But then here comes Brian Bao for 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.599 the next four innings. You know, minus giving up a run. 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.560 I thought Bao looked really solid here today. Lots of sinkers, 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.520 change ups, plenty of ground balls here today. He got 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:32.680 guys to chase out of the zone quite a bit 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:36.200 as well. Forty one percent chase rate today compared to 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.120 a thirty two percent season average, so almost a ten 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.160 percent increase. He threw a lot of first pitch strikes 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:48.039 eighty percent today compared to sixty five percent on the year. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.640 He sat down the first four batters, but then Boltay 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.040 had a double in the third, but then he got 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:56.160 a couple of groundouts to follow that up. Tyler soda 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:58.760 Strom with a triple in the fourth. He did score 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.119 eventually on the ground out, but he got a couple 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.840 more groundouts to work around it. Fifth inning, McNeil Wilson, 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:06.880 they grounded out and then he struck out Boltay on 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.840 a sinker. Anthony so Brian Bao, I thought looked really 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.280 solid here today. He just continues to excel in this role. 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.640 Six and the seventh inning, Tyrone Guerrero Giovanni Moran won 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.000 two three innings, they look really solid. Also, some good 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.040 defense here, Anthony Siegler making a nice play to his 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.040 right at second base, thrown against his body over the 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.360 first to get the out. So you know, overall, you 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.800 know things up to this point, you were feeling pretty good. 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:39.040 So let's we'll go back here to Garrett Wit locking Chapman. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.880 But let's talk about the offense now. Second inning, your 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.680 down one nothing at this point, Wilson gets hit by 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.280 a pitch Siegler with a base hit Duran. He ends 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.160 up popping it out. I put this in my notes 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:54.440 because that almost could have led to something. Wilson and McNeil. 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.760 They ended up bumping into each other, so good for 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.800 Wilson to hang on to that. But then Eli White 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:04.120 following it up here with a base hit. So Eli 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.160 White coming through for the first time as a Boston 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.320 Red Sox, but anything passed the Red Sox, even if 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.800 they're down four in the ninth had hit the other 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:18.120 way for a base hit. Wilson coming around, Butler Will 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.840 Crawley the second base is the one scores and the 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:24.720 Red Sox have tied it. So that was a game 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.520 tying base hit from Eli White there. Again, he had 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.800 himself a pretty solid day. He went three for four 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.840 on the day here today. After that, couldn't come up 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.200 with anymore. In the fourth inning, Siegler dig it on 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.199 with a walk, but then Jared Duran, who also did 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.800 not have a good day here today, he grounds into 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.480 a double play. So momentum right off the bat and 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.800 just taking away Jaron Duran. Man. Again, we keep doing 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.120 this thing where he looks really good a couple of 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.800 weeks and then you start to notice the numbers. You're like, 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.079 oh wow, look at this stretch. You know, he's looking 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.560 really good over the last couple of weeks, and just 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.760 the last couple of games here right struck out four 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.360 times yesterday, double play here today. We'll even get to 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.120 some defense later on with him. But yeah, Jaron Duran 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.280 Man Man oh Man gets hot and then he just 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.839 goes ice cold. Fifth ink, you're able to get a 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:21.400 couple of here across Eli White laying down a bunt, 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.880 beats out the throw from him over to first base. 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.559 Eli White has sneaky speed. He's a little lank, a 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.880 little more lanky, you know, Eli White. How tall is he? 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.520 He's six foot two, so he's got but he's got 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.880 this speed. He just kind of I don't know what's 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.960 sneaky is not the right way to say it, but yeah, 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.400 beats out the throw to first Jake Rogers of the 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.520 base hit up the middle, and then so guard laying 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:49.720 down a sack bunt, bad throw from JT. Gin The 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.400 Red Sox taking advantage a little bit here. Let's take 0:09:54.400 --> 0:10:01.560 a listen, good funner too, showing a butt got it down. 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.080 Play at the play thrown away and the run stars 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.360 White dives in chaos on the basis, safe at second 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:12.760 and third hand of two. Two times. That's it you've 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.559 been begging for with this team. This is what they've 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.719 been doing. It's what they do well, right, what did 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.240 they do? And then WILLI or Bray who shortly after Yeah, 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:25.120 not just lefties here recently Sway get a shot why 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.880 the right? Phil Butler back it up and he makes 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.920 the play, tagging up Rogers. He is in show guard 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.120 down the third and the Red Sox and the league 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.680 credits to Lawrence Butler out there making a pretty athletic 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.880 play making the grab. Willier hit that one hundred three 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.200 miles an hour. It looked like he had himself some 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.640 extra bases, but Butler making a really solid play, but 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.760 go ahead run scores makes it three to two. After 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.000 that nothing in the next few innings again he locks 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:55.439 it down to the six, so he ends up having 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.720 a quality start. Brady Basso, Elvis Alvarado one, two, three 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.800 eatings in the seventh, in the eighth, and then back 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.760 to the bullpen here with the Red Sox Garrett Wedlock 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.920 in the eighth. You know, listen, Wodlock, I think looked 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.000 really good. He ended up striking out three guys in 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:16.640 the inning, but unfortunately just a couple of mishaps. Here McNeil, 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.840 he leads it off of the blue bass hit one 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.679 thousandth hit of his career. By the way, he strikes 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.360 out Boltay and Wilson nasty sliders down in a way, 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.920 and then Jonah him he comes up a double over 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.640 Duran's head. Now, they they shifted a little bit out there, 0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.240 so Duran was trying to make up some ground, ends 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.040 up going over his head. It falls to the ground 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:42.120 at one point during the play. So Duran, I know, 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:43.679 he looked like he was a little out of position. 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:45.560 I don't say out a position, but it looks like 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.720 he was just shifted over a little bit. But in 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.560 the end didn't work out. He made a jumping attempt 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.880 went over his head. But the problem that I had 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.320 here was he had him on an O two count. 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.440 You had just struck out Bolta and Wilson with a 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:03.920 good looking slider for both, why not go back to 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.480 the slider? Here he went with a sinker up and away. 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.800 It's like, why you just threw him three sinkers? Go 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.400 with the slider again. He didn't even show him a slider. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.199 Didn't understand that. And I went to go check the 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.160 numbers two and I'm thinking, Okay, maybe maybe he's had 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:23.720 success against sliders not really hitting under two hundred against them, 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.360 So I really didn't understand that. I did not like 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:31.120 the pick sequence. It is what it is. But after 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.840 that he strikes out Soda Strom on a slider, so 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.800 again I didn't understand, didn't understand that that led that 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.319 led to the game getting tied there at three. And 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.280 then here comes Chapman in a non safe situation, gets 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.240 a couple of flyouts, but then Alika Williams of the 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:49.120 base hit chapman pickoff attempt. They had a leak of 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:54.760 cot but Wilson bad throw into the outfield. Wilson, there's 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.560 a there's I think a bug going through the clubhouse 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.920 right now. He missed a couple of days Masa. He's 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.600 also out, he's dealing with this, so I think there's 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.200 something going around in the clubhouse right now. But Wilson 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:11.400 still feels like he's getting himself fully together, right He 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.880 said yesterday when he went back into the lineup that 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:18.199 you know, still didn't feel fully there. But yeah, I 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.000 don't know, just today bad throw there, I don't know. 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.640 Wilson not looking like that same old Wilson we've seen 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.840 over the last month or so. But after that, so 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.840 he's on second max months. He with a double off 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:34.280 the monster, four to three game Chabin, It's just it's 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:39.280 the command. This year, last year, this guy just as 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.240 locked down as I've seen him for a while in 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.360 his career. Right, you go back to the early earlier parts, 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.360 going back to his days with the Reds. Obviously helped 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.240 win the when the World Series with the Cubs, look 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.240 really good with the Rangers too, had some bumps with 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.880 the Yankees, of course, but last year, man, this guy 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.760 was just on another level. This year, he still looks 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.000 really good, but that command has definitely taken a hit. 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.640 You saw it here, right, twenty three pitches, only twelve 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:13.040 strikes coming into today, he had a three point nine 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.720 walk per nine rate. Last year it was two point 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.640 two per nine and even first pick strikes. This year 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.400 he's had a sixty five percent for first pitch strikes. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.520 Last year is seventy percent. So I don't know whatever 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.920 was working with him and Connor Wong last year, Hey, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.480 throw it, throw it right here, throw it right here. 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.440 I don't know. They gotta get back to the lab. 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.720 They gotta figure something out. Jabin has again he's looked 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:42.480 really good. Obviously, the metrics still look very strong, but 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:46.640 he's just not fully the same as what we saw 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:51.160 he's felt, especially going back to when he got hurt, 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.400 when he had the hamstring injury in Cleveland, right, you 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.360 go back to the Rocky series. Yeah, he's still looked 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.120 again very good since then, but there's definitely been some 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.160 more bumps and you see it once again. And then 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.000 you also consider the fact two a non saved situation 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.480 here today. You know, pap Obama was even talking about 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:14.360 it in the postgame show saying, it's just a different feel, 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.240 you know for closers, especially guys that closers that have 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.520 been doing it for a long time. It's a different mentality, right, 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:25.840 It's don't have that same kind of adrenaline like you 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.880 do when you got a one run lead, two run lead, 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.680 you know. And I don't know, it's interesting. It's always 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.920 been interesting to me. But the Red Sox they ended 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:37.960 up coming back for trying to come back in the 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:43.800 bottom of the ninth, Hogan Harrison Jones pinch hit comes 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:46.520 in for Duran to pinch hit. Great move. He ends 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:50.360 up getting a base hit. Eli White does strike out, 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:53.240 but then Durbin he pinch hits for Rogers. He gets 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.080 on with the walk, and then so garb with the 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.840 ground ball to third base. Months he stumbled a little bit, 0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:59.680 but then he stepped on third for the fourth out, 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.440 and then Seeddi lined out to left field to end 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:06.120 the game. If there's a if there's a silver lining 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:07.840 with that one. He did hit it really hard, one 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.760 hundred two miles an hour off the bats, so Seti again, 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.920 really rough day. Hopefully that's something that he can take 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.400 into Toronto for tomorrow. Again, he hit it on the screws, 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.520 look good, just hit it right at him. So hopefully 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:24.560 that's something that can make him feel a little better 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:28.400 going into Toronto. But final score here today Athletics win 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:33.360 four to three. Record falls to sixty four and fifty three. 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:37.960 Taking a look at the current standings, The Yankees did 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.000 lose here today. The Yankees did lose, Thank goodness. The 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.000 Braves picked it up here today. Chris Sale, he got 0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:48.240 ejected before the start of the game. He was very 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:52.320 grumpy over a bock call yesterday. I think he still 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:54.840 felt a certain type of way about that. He was 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.880 probably saying something to that umpire. So he ended up 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.160 getting ejected. But the Brays found a way to win 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:05.240 it here today. But taking a look at the wildcard again, 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.280 you know, it's really obviously the Red Sox have just 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.960 been amazing, of course obviously over the last month or so, 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.199 so they're still very comfortably in the second spot. But 0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.400 we're shooting big here. We're going for that first wildcard, 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.320 perhaps even the division. Actually, speaking of the division, what's 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.800 going on with the Rays? I mean the Rays, they're 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.280 putting together a bit of a win streak. E've won 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.240 five in a row up to this point. So but hey, 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:33.320 you still you could absolutely still keep your eyes on 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.760 that division. You're six and a half out, but hey, 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.760 right now, you know you're a game and a half 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.880 behind the Yankees. So the first spot, first wildcard spot, 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.160 that's big, right. You went to Yankee Stadium last year 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.760 for three you'd love to get that first wildcard spot 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.280 at least and then have a three game series in Boston. 0:17:53.600 --> 0:18:02.119 So but yeah, alrighty, let's get to the upcoming series here, 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:08.679 shall we. All right, taking a look, so here are 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.600 the pitching max shups. You got Sunny Gray going up 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:14.480 against Jamison ty Own. He got recently picked up by 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.240 the Blue Jays after he got defaed by the Cubs. 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.680 Patrick Sandoval going Game two against Dylan Ce Dylan c 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.920 Span He's picked great against the Red Sox this year, 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:27.040 Ranger Suarez against the newest blue Jay, another new blue Jay, 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.720 Jose Soriano, and then Peyton Totley going up against Max Schurzer. 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:32.760 Felt like we were about to go up against Shrezer, 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:35.280 like a couple of times this year that he got scratched. 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.520 Was it one or two times? Can't fully remember, but 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:40.800 let's see. Hey, you know Max Scherzer, one of the 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.520 greatest pictures of all time going up against totally coming 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.359 off a historic performance, striking out fourteen batters, third ever 0:18:47.520 --> 0:18:50.320 Red Sox rookie to strike out at least fourteen batters 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.399 in a start. But uh Rainger Suarez, You're hoping for 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:56.320 a little bit more out of him. He's just been 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.560 kind of off since coming off the il, so hopefully 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.120 he gets in do a bit of a groove. Patrick Sandoval, 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:06.000 I felt looked solid for the most part. You're hoping 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.159 he can find a way to go a little deeper. 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:11.520 And then Suddy Gray, obviously he's looked like he's got 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:15.680 himself back on track here over the last couple of starts. 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:17.520 Taking a look at the chat. What have we got 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.800 going on the chat ladies and gentlemen, what we got 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:30.080 going on already? Yeah, Joe and the chat cease. He's 0:19:30.119 --> 0:19:33.719 been He's been very good. He is absolutely gonna get 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:35.720 cy Young votes for sure. He's looked really good at 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:39.280 you know, looking at how he's done. Just pulling up 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:43.480 the numbers in the couple of starts he's had against 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.160 the Red Sox. I mean, it was just a little 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.840 bit ago. July twenty fifth, struck out twelve in Boston, 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:55.040 had the complete game, one hitter, looked incredible. June sixteenth, 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:58.200 five innings, four hits, he walked four, but no, aren't 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.199 zero earned go? I mean yeah, he did have a 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:04.120 bumpy start back in April against him five and two 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:07.919 thirds seven hits, four earned. But the last two, I mean, 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:10.920 especially last time in Boston, he looked incredible. Let's see 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:13.200 if the Red Sox can figure out a way now. 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:19.000 Jose Soriano, he's again. He was one of the big 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:23.359 moves at the deadline looking at his last start. So 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.360 this is his second start with the Blue Jays. He 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.160 did okay. He went into the fifth inning against the Phillies, 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.359 he went four and two thirds, four hits, one earned, 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.199 struck out three, walked three. I like that move for 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.840 the Blue Jays. That was a guy that's under control 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.679 they're going to have for the next couple of years. 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.080 He traded away Gosman, but you're bringing a cost control 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.000 guy like that. I thought that was a really solid move. 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.679 And then taking a look here going back to Sonny Gray, 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.640 he looked very good in his last start, so he's 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.200 going to be getting the nod for tomorrow. And uh yeah, 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.160 you go back again to the last Toronto series. They 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:05.840 knocked him around quite a bit. Ten hits, five earned, 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.439 five innings, So let's see if you can come up 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:11.320 with a different game plan. The breaking ball has looked 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:13.800 a lot better over the last couple of outings. He 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.120 went six innings last time against the White Sox, only 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.159 lot three hits, eight strikeouts. But yeah, you look at 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:23.400 that Toronto start and uh yeah, he got knocked around. 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.520 So hey, let's see how this goes. And really quick 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:33.000 looking at the Blue Jays lineup here, I mean, as 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.560 of late, you know, Alejandro Kirk has been looking pretty 0:21:35.560 --> 0:21:39.640 good Andres Jimenez has been looking pretty good lately. But yeah, 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:41.120 I mean, you got a lot of guys just having 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.120 down years in this lineup, but I mean, hey, they 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:48.320 showed up last time, right, especially against Gray, So let's 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:54.640 see Swahara, Robbie, do you see a demotion in Duran's future? 0:21:54.880 --> 0:22:01.159 You know, I mean, listen, you know, how do I 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:02.840 word this? Because I want to be I want to 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:08.040 make sure I say this carefully. We were all wondering, 0:22:08.119 --> 0:22:10.639 right Brian Bao when he got sent down, like what 0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:15.560 that would do? Holy cal Like Jaron Duran, I don't 0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.080 even know how he would take that, you know, I 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:22.080 feel like that would oh man, that would be a 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:25.600
