1 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: Welcome to Boss the territory, ladies and gentlemen. Well, that 2 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: was a bumber of an ending for this weekend. Everything 3 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: was looking great, everything was looking fun after Opening Day, 4 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: and then you drop the next couple of games and 5 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Red Sox are under five hundred. 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: We were looking at a one sixty two to oh 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: season at one point to now we're under five hundred. 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: Can you freaking believe it? Just kidding, but he you 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: know what, hey, series loss to start off the year. 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna overreact to it. I'm not. Yeah, of 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: course you want to win the first series of the 12 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: weekend of Opening Day weekend, right, it is what it is, right, 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna sit here and go on 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: a change and about all how the Red Sox we're 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: we're doomed for this year. Now, you know what, there's 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: a lot of good things out of this series that 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: I took away. I start off with some positives here today, 18 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: Connelly Early looked fantastic. I mean like, if you were 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: new to watching the game of baseball and you watched 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: Connelly Early here today, you'd probably ask, oh, man, how 21 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,279 Speaker 1: long has this guy been pitching in the major leagues. 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: How long? Wow? Really, it's his first full season in 23 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: the majors. Wow. The guy just has so much composure 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: on the mound. He just looks like he's been there, 25 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: done that for years. He looked great here today. We'll 26 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: break his start down here in just a little bit. 27 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: But of course we're all looking at the offense right now. 28 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: It was a question mark coming into the year. Coming 29 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: into the season here, that was I think the big question. 30 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: It wasn't the pitching staff. Right, the rotation is projected 31 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: to beat one of the best in baseball. You've seen 32 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: the upside of the rotation so far. Right. You saw 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: Crochet look great, Sonny Gray not so much, but showed 34 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: a couple of good things along the way, showed that 35 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: swing and mispotential that he has, and then early just 36 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: looking solid. Here today you go Ranger Suarez, Tomorrow, you 37 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: go Brian Bao in a couple of days in Houston. 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, rotation looking great. But you're wondering, is this 39 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: gonna be something with the offense that we're gonna have 40 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: to worry about for the rest of the year. Again, 41 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: it's the first series. I'm not really ready to be 42 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: jumping off any bridges or anything anytime soon. But something 43 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: to pay attention to. Ill say, you know, on the offense, 44 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: it was a quiet day, but will your bra you're 45 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: staying hot. Second straight home run or second straight day 46 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: with a home run. He's looking fantastic. He's hitting the 47 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: absolute crap out of the ball. Willier looks great man, 48 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: looks like he's in great shape. Swing looks good, swing 49 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: looks more compact this season so far, in just the 50 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: first few games. Really liking the way will he was 51 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: looking there. I had a double as well today, just 52 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: hitting the ball really hard. You know, you did lose 53 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: an ABS challenge here, Marcella Meyer. He went for it 54 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: earlier in the game, didn't get the call. Saw some 55 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: people talking on social media thinking, oh man, hey, we're 56 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: not We're not very good at these ABS challenges. You know. 57 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: I think, you know, we'll see how it goes over 58 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: the course of the next few months or so. But 59 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 1: in the end, just not really a whole lot going 60 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: on for the Red Sox with this offense. You know, 61 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: when I think about the lineup over the next you know, 62 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: a couple of months or so, I do wonder if 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: you end up seeing if we end up seeing an 64 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: inconsistent offense? Could you see some changes? Right? You know, 65 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony leading off? I mean, the guy's been amazing 66 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: out of the leadoff spots so far in his young career. 67 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: But you know, you do wonder if maybe Kor tries 68 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: him out a little lower in the order, and then 69 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: you got to think, well, who would lead off at 70 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: that point? Right? You know, again it's only three games in, 71 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: not worried, but if this does become an issue inconsistencies 72 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: with the offense, then you know, does Kor juggle the 73 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: lineup a little? But you're still waiting for a couple 74 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: of guys to get going. Caleb Durbin, right, he had 75 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: a big spot there today, wasn't able to come through. 76 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: He's been very quiet to start off the year. Wilson 77 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: Contreres just getting his first hit, but you're hoping, as 78 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, the cleanup hitter to be able to do 79 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: a little bit more there. Yeah, there's some questions so far, 80 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: question mark so far through the first three games. I 81 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: think those are fair, those are valid, but you got 82 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: to let things play out a little bit more. You know, 83 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: Jared Durant as well, getting picked off on the base 84 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: paths today, not something you want to see. We've seen 85 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: this with Duran, a guy that can be a very 86 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: dynamic player, but a guy that can also he can 87 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: have some goof ups, right. We saw it in the 88 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: field last year, you know, but there were have been 89 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: times where we've seen it on the base paths too, 90 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: So you know, you can't get picked off in that 91 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: situation there. Today, it just felt like they would take 92 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: one step forward here today, but then they would take 93 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: a step back. So again it's three gamesladies and gentlemen, 94 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: This three games, I will say, you know, getting back 95 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: to Duran showed some great defense out in center field today. 96 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: It's very evident that he is just so much more 97 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: comfortable in center field compared to left. He just looks 98 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: like a different guy out there early getting a couple 99 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: of double plays there today. So you know, the defense, 100 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: I think they did a good job, but you just 101 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: couldn't get the offense going here today. Massa getting the 102 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: start there today in left field. Core did talk about 103 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: to touch on you know, it is it's not going 104 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: to be easy juggling this line up getting the playing time. 105 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: But pretty much I think you saw what the plane 106 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: is going to be whenever Masa does get a start, 107 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: you'll have him out in left field. Duran's going to 108 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: be in center field. Roman will d h in that 109 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: scenario and then said he will come in late in games, 110 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: just like he did here today. So you got a 111 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: taste of that in the end. Though, you know, hey, 112 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: disappointing start to the year. Things are feeling good. After 113 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: the first game, you felt great, crochet on the mound, 114 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: able to get enough runs. But I will say though 115 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: the first three games you've seen a gritty team. Even 116 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: though they did lose here today, they were in it 117 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: all the way through. What can you do? And the 118 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: last part of my opener for this one, I save 119 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: this one for last. Greg Weisert Man, Listen, if you 120 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: look at the overall numbers with Greg Weisert, he has 121 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: been solid out of the bullpen. But it's this roller 122 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: coaster with Greg Weisser. It's so many ups and downs. 123 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: It's tough. It's tough. Man. You had a great start 124 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: from early, you had the will You're coming through there 125 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: with the big knock, big home run there. But you 126 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: know Greg Weiser coming in, you know, granted they did 127 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: use a lot of that bullpen yesterday, including Weissert. I 128 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: don't know, man, it's when you get the good Greg Weissert, 129 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: things are just peachy, you know, things are just going 130 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: smooth sailing. The guy puts everyone away. But then when 131 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: he runs into trouble, it comes in these longer stretches 132 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: and we're going through one right now to start off 133 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: the year. Something to pay attention to for this year. Again, 134 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: the overall numbers were good for him last year, but 135 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: it's just the inconsistencies and when you got a close game, 136 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: two run game, one run game, whatever it may be, 137 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: it's just getting hard to trust him. You know. Again, 138 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: not going to overreact the first three games, but it's uh. 139 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: Even when Weissert is on, you know we saw last 140 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: year you couldn't help but still brace yourself a little bit. 141 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: At least with me. That's how I would be whenever 142 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: he would come out of the bullpen. Even though even 143 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: if he had put together a string of, say, you know, 144 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: four or five solid outings, I still had in the 145 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: back of my mind, Oh okay, hopefully uh weis it's 146 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: still good today. Hopefully he's good to go. And I 147 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: agree with you, Emily, Weissert is a mess. Right now. 148 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: You saw the body language on the mound there today, 149 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: even after he got an out, he was still just 150 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: he was not in the mood. Hopefully he gets it right. 151 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: But this was something I talked about with the Red 152 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: Sox bullpen this year. You could talk about the offense, right, 153 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: you can talk about the question marks there, but for me, 154 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: the biggest question mark was the bullpen, believe it or not, 155 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: because they were so good last year, or despite being 156 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: so good last year, I was wondering, you know, what's 157 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: it gonna look like this year. You know, Moran, he 158 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: looked pretty solid coming out of there today, but you're 159 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: looking at obviously Chapman, Whitlock. They were amazing last year. 160 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: You're wondering are they going to be able to keep 161 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: that going here? What they did last year was phenomenal. 162 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: I don't know for anyone to expect those kind of 163 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: numbers yet, again, that's a lot to ask for, so 164 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: look looking for other guys to step up, and that's 165 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: where you're looking for Weisser to become more consistent. Again, 166 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: it's early, but you want Weisert to start getting himself right. 167 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes here, but those are my 168 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: opening thoughts here. Those are those are my quick thoughts 169 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: to start off the show. Here to today, we'll go 170 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: over the scoring. There wasn't really a whole lot of it. 171 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: There's only one thing, really, but I'll go over how 172 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: the offense did today. We'll talk about Connolly early, we'll 173 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: talk about his start, and then I believe we have 174 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: a couple of voicemails as well. If you do want 175 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: to call the show, I do have the number on 176 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: the screen. I also have it pinned in the chat. 177 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: If you'd like to leave a voicemail, call the number, 178 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: leave one for me and we'll play it at the 179 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: end of the show.

If you're new, we are 181 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: trying to get the seven k by the All Star break. 182 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 1: We are within three hundred subscribers of doing so.

I'm 185 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: not ready to go that far yet. I'm not ready 186 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: to go that far. Holy cow, that takes a lot 187 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: to be Jordan Hicks. But I hope he's not becoming 188 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: the next Jordan Hicks. We'll see Emily. I think you 189 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: make a great point. He's just not high leverage. That's 190 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: where weisser when when he's at his strongest, it's when 191 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: you got a bit more of elite, right, It's when 192 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: you got that three four run lead. He has shown 193 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: the ability in the past in close games to be 194 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: able to hold it down. But yeah, it feels like 195 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: more often than not he tends to do better. And 196 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: the when you got a bit more of a cushion, 197 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: I'll have to take a look at the numbers on that. 198 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: To do it, I'll do a deep dive and I'll 199 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: come back to you. Let's get to it here. I 200 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: feel like I'm rambling. I feel like I am rambling 201 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: to start off the show. I'm always rambling to start 202 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: off the show. But I hope everyone's doing well despite 203 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: the result here this weekend. So let's get to it here. 204 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: Let's get to the scoring, shall we, and the top 205 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: performers offensively? Will you or bray? Like I said at 206 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: the start of the show, getting another home run today 207 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: had another double. Connor Wong. I about Connor Wong here 208 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: today coming through with the double. Anytime Connor Wong makes 209 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: hard contact, my head shoots up like Brad Pitton moneyball 210 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: every single time. I'm like, oh, man, Connor Wong, he's 211 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: doing something, man, you gotta love it. But that was 212 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: pretty much it for the offense. You know, again, they 213 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: had opportunities here today. That sounds familiar, right, We felt 214 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: like we talked about that a lot last year. But 215 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, in the third inning, you know, the first 216 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: six batters of the game, they got sat down by 217 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: Rhett Louder. I talked about him yesterday coming into the 218 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: into today's game. Rhet Louder is very good. That's a 219 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: fun guy to watch. Shit, If any any Reds fans 220 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: out there, you're very lucky to have a guy like 221 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: Rhet Louder, big fan of him. But first six batter 222 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: is getting sat down in the third inning, you get 223 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: it going a little bit. Massa with the walk, first 224 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: base runner of the day, Wong with the bass hit there, 225 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: he had a couple on but then Rowman's striking out 226 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: story with the ground out. Fourth inning, Wilson Contres getting 227 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: his first hit as a Red Sox hundred ten miles 228 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: an hour off the bat that set up the will 229 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: your home run that made it to zip in the 230 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: sixth inning, will You're staying hot yet again, had his 231 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: second double one hundred three miles an hour off the 232 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: bat when a bit opo with that one, Like I said, 233 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: Wong with the double and the seventh inning, but then 234 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: the eighth inning here again like you had something going 235 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: a little bit. Duran gets on, had the walk, but 236 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: then Tony Santene picked him off. Wilson was able to 237 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: draw the walk after that, but then and then will 238 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: your got into one yet again, had a liner out 239 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: to Myers out in the center field, went into a 240 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: bit of a sliding catch, couldn't hang on to it. 241 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: But then you just couldn't come up with anything after that. 242 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: Monasterio had the double in the ninth inning and then 243 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: SETI lining out. They intentionally walked Roman to get the story, 244 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: but then story with the flyout. So you know that's 245 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: where you're gonna have to have guys. You know Roman 246 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: can set the table, but you know that's something where 247 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: Roman needs protection. You saw that in the ninth inning. 248 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: They'll just walk them. You know that's a dangerous bat 249 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: to go up against. You know, a story obviously had 250 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: himself a good year last year, but when you're looking 251 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: at the metrics I mean, Roman is just off the charts. 252 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I hate to say it, but like I 253 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: would rather go up again against Trevor's Story all day, 254 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: every day instead of going up against Roman, right, because 255 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: Roman is a difference maker. Bat Story can be two, 256 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: but metrics wise, Roman's just on another level. So that's 257 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: something I wouldn't be surprised to see. And that's why 258 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: Roman he was so good last year because he had 259 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: Bregman behind him, right, had those guys behind him. I'm 260 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: curious to see how Story is gonna do in that 261 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: role protecting Roman. That's something I think to pay attention 262 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: to a little bit. So we'll see. Obviously again, Story 263 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: had himself a good year last year, but you know, 264 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: when you're looking at ops overall, you know there is 265 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: a bit more swing and miss with Story getting on 266 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: base not as much. So we'll see. But quiet day 267 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: for the offense. But let's get to Connolly early here, 268 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: actually really quick. Before I do get to Connolly early, 269 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: I do want to take notice of the super chat. 270 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: We got a super chat here. I really appreciate that 271 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: we got a twenty dollars super chat from Stefina. Did 272 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: I pronounce that? 273 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: Right? 274 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: Is a Stephanie Stefina, Stephen steven A, steven A Smith? 275 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: Is that you? How you doing? Thank you so much 276 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: for the super chat? What have we got here? Why 277 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: is it we get a guy in Durban who doesn't 278 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: strike out, but he comes in our Let me let 279 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: me size this down a little bit because I can't 280 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: read it on my screen. But he comes in our 281 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: system and here comes the strikeout. So our hitting philosophy 282 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: isn't good, honestly, and let's please send Weisser back to 283 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: the Yankees again. Appreciate the super chat. Really, do you know? 284 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: Durbin's a guy, I say, give him some time. He's 285 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: a high contact bat. He showed that last year. But 286 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: you know, hey, you know that has been a thing 287 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: with the Red Sox over the last couple of years, right, 288 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: a lot of strikeouts. That's kind of I think part 289 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: of why you bring in Durban because that's a guy 290 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: that doesn't strike out very often. Seems like, you know, 291 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: could there be some adjustments being made going into a 292 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: new system Milwaukee. They those guys are just wizards over there. 293 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: What they do in their lab, both offensively and in 294 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: the on the picturing side of things, They're just crazy. 295 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: Over there, so I wonder if there are some adjustments 296 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: going on. I figured we would see a little bit 297 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: more out of Durban over the first couple of games here, 298 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: not really seeing too much as of right now. Hopefully 299 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: he gets himself going. And I got to disagree with 300 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: sending Weiser back to the Yankees, because you know what's 301 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: gonna happen. We'll send it back to the Yankees and 302 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: then he'll end up just turning into just a freaking 303 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: nature right. I don't want to do that. Let's not 304 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: do that. Hopefully Weissert gets it figured out. But I 305 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: do know a lot of people out there they are saying, 306 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: please send Weisser to the Sun. I know a lot 307 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: of people out there saying that. I saw it all 308 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: over social media when he gave up the home run. 309 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: So thank you for the super chat.

Fastball was looking good. 334 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: Through a few sinkers in there as well, that looked 335 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: really good. Got a couple of strikeouts on those off 336 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: speed and breaking stuff was looking solid. Just a solid 337 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: day for Connelly Early overall five and a third, five hits, 338 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: one earned six k's, struck out Ellie Da La Cruz 339 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: a couple of times as well, a couple of walks 340 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: along the way. Just a good solid day for Connolly. 341 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: Early did run into a little bit of trouble in 342 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: the first inning. Worked out of it though, gave up 343 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: a base hit, walked a guy, but he struck out 344 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: a couple on a four seamer and a change up. 345 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: What I liked about early Star today is that this 346 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: guy was just painting the corner. He looked really good 347 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: at times. The control was looking phenomenal. In the second inning, 348 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: Steer had a line out Duran I mentioned earlier, made 349 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: a great play out in center field again, looked so 350 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: much more comfortable in center. Did give up a basse 351 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: at to Myers, but then he got a double play 352 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: from Trevor Storer, Trevor Story and Marcella Meyer. Third inning, 353 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: struck out Freedo I cannot speak right now. Struck out 354 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: friedl sinker outside corner. Nasty pitch, just nasty. He walked 355 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: McLay in after that, but then he struck out Da 356 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: La Cruz on the sinker inside corner on him. Just 357 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: nasty sinkers there today. Fourth inning, worked around a couple 358 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: of base hits from South Stewart and Spencer Steer. Then 359 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: he got dam Myers in the double play Wilsonton Trera's 360 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: looking great at first base. If you are looking for 361 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: another positive out of this series. Despite the loss, Wilsonton 362 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: Treres is looking very good defensively at first base. I'm 363 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: liking that a lot. Fifth inning he got a one 364 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: two three, got Stevenson and on a slider down an 365 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 1: in six inning, gave up the base hit to McClain, 366 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: but he struck out Daily Cruz for the second time 367 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: to end his day again. Final line five and a third, 368 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: five hits, six strikeouts, two walks. But in came Greg Weisert, 369 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: In came Greg Weisert, and uh, it just all fell 370 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: apart after that. South Stuart with a walk, giving up 371 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: the home run to Heineo Suarez that made it three 372 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: to two. Remember McLain was he was on base after 373 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: the base hit, so one run got charged to Early. 374 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: It was going to be a scoreless outing for Early 375 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: if Weisert was able to hold it. But so he 376 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: gets charged or the run. Yeah, Heino Suarez. He's got 377 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: game changing power, and that was something we were thinking 378 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: about this past offseason. Right with Suarez. Yes, he's gonna 379 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: give you a lot of pop in the middle of 380 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: the order. Did come with a lot of strikeout concerns, 381 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: but that was something where you kind of would this 382 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: be a guy that you know, should the Red Sox 383 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: take a chance on him? They ended up, I guess, 384 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: not even making an offer, but you kind of wonder 385 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: if that, if that's a guy you maybe should have pursued, 386 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: because one swing of the bat from Suarez can change 387 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: the game. Just saw it here today. You saw it 388 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: in the postseason while he was with the Mariners. So yeah, 389 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: he's gonna strike out, but you kind of wonder. It's 390 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: funny thinking back to that in this offseason. Oh man, 391 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: he knew Suarez, could he be the guy? And then 392 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: he's the one that ends up homer against the Red 393 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: Sox and uh, he ended up being the deciding factor. 394 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: Geovanni Moran came in. Uh, he had a seven pitch one, two, three. 395 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 1: After that, Geovanni Moran looked very good. Did you give 396 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: up a south Stewart double? South Stewart is looking really good, 397 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: by the way, very Uh. I don't want to say 398 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: I'm regretting not picking him for Rookie of the Year, 399 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,239 Speaker 1: but I did think about it. He just looks really good. 400 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of south Stewart uh he walked 401 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: Suarez but was able to get out of it. In 402 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: the end. It is what it is. You know, what 403 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: can you do besides Greg Weisert and not coming up 404 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: with the with more timely hits today, not able to 405 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: push runners across. You know, it wasn't i'd I dono'ld say. 406 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it was a terrible day overall for 407 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: the Red Sox, but you just had a couple of 408 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: pretty bad big blows that just hurt you in the end. 409 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: So it is what it is. But in the end, 410 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: that was it for this one today. Let's take a 411 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: look at the next game coming up. We got the 412 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: Astros coming up here, got the Astros and Ranger Suarez 413 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: making his Red Sox debut. Did picture Venezuela and the WBC. 414 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: I expect to see johann O Viedo in this one. 415 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: I was wondering if he could have pitched here today, 416 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: but then I'm thinking, well, Suarez, he's still building up 417 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: a little bit after the WB. His last spring start 418 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: did not look good, so I think you'll see Oviedo 419 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: ready in the bullpen after Suarez. But we'll see, We'll 420 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: see how it goes here. You got a lot of 421 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: good bats in Houston. You got Jordan Avarez, they're fully 422 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: healthy now. Christian Walker's off to a pretty good start 423 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: so far this year. You got guys like Correa al 424 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: tu Ve still there. So no Jeremy Payania, he's on 425 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: the il right now. But for the pitching matchup, let 426 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: me pull this up now. When it comes to the 427 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: Astros on the pitching side, they got Lance mc cullers junior. 428 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: He came back from elbow surgery last year. He did 429 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: not look good at all last Year's another season under 430 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: his belt. I guess he has just not had a 431 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: whole lot of luck over the last few years. A 432 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: lot of injuries with him, so who knows what he's 433 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: going to be looking like. But hey, good chance to 434 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: the Red Sox to maybe jump on them a little early, 435 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: see if they can get something going there. But Suarez 436 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: interested to see how this goes because he just had 437 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: a weird spring overall. Again, he was in the WBC, 438 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: wasn't with the Red Sox a lot in camp. Curious 439 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: to see how that goes for Suarez in his first start. 440 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: But again, I do think Oviedo is going to be 441 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: he's going to be ready in that bullpen. I would 442 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: imagine we'll see everyone. We're going to get to one 443 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: more sponsor, and then we're going to get to some voicemails. 444 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: I'll be right back. 445 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 3: Aj Baseball season is finally here, and there's nothing like 446 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 3: listening to the sweet sounds of the game while you're 447 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 3: at home enjoying some home cooking, whipping up a beautiful 448 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 3: meal with Hello Fresh.

Roman Anti ain't even coming in plush. 479 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 6: I mean, it's it's the same old team. And then 480 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 6: Greg Weister comes in and the six in that and 481 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 6: gives us the home run.

But I just 498 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: wonder as protection for Anthony isn't gonna be enough protection, 499 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: right because we just saw it here today. They just 500 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: walked to Anthony to go to Story. So that's where 501 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: you kind of wonder, do they juggle this lineup a 502 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: little bit at some point? You know, do they make 503 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,120 Speaker 1: a bit of a change then, I don't know, I'd 504 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: have to think about if you were to take Anthony 505 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: out of this leadoff spot. What would be the best 506 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: way to do it? Again, Anthony in the leadoff spot 507 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: is great, but you want the best overall lineup. We 508 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: know what Anthony can do leading off when he had 509 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: a guy like Bregman behind him, right, But you don't 510 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: got Bregman anymore. So you got to figure out what 511 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: is going to be the best way to utilize the 512 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: entire lineup. Curious to see. I'm gonna think about that. 513 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: We'll see how it goes. But thank you for the voicemail. 514 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: I do understand the concern after the first series here, 515 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: I get it. Yeah, you want more consistency, right, hopefully 516 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: tomorrow go to Houston. Like I said, mccullors has not 517 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: been right over the last few years. Let's see if 518 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: they can jump on him. And we do know this 519 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: with Roman Anthony. When it comes to hitting in that ballpark, 520 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony, he does very well in that ballpark in Houston. 521 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: We'll see where. We'll see how it goes. But we 522 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: do have another super chat here. We got another super 523 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: chat coming in. Man, oh man, I do appreciate the 524 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: super chats here. What do we got in here? Let's 525 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: take a look from kick Puncture eighteen ninety two. Let's 526 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: go Red Sox. We'll figure it out next series, no 527 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: doubt about it. I appreciate that, my friend. Yeah, you 528 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: know again, it's early. It's very early. There's a lot 529 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: of baseball left to be played. You still got one 530 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine more games to play, a lot 531 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: of time left. I'm not worried about it in the end, though. 532 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 1: Positive takeaway for me, The biggest takeaway from this series 533 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: is this is a gritty team. I talked about it yesterday. 534 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: Even in a loss, I think they still looked very good. 535 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they had a lot of strikeouts yesterday, 536 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: fifteen strikeouts overall. I mean the Reds they struck out 537 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: twelve times. So it wasn't like it was a completely 538 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: lopsided affair in that department. But yeah, you want to 539 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: see the bats get going a bit more here. You 540 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: want to see more consistency there. I think in the 541 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: end they're going to figure something out. Right, We'll see 542 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: how it goes, yes, but everybody, I'm going to wrap 543 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: it up for there today. We'll be back here tomorrow night. 544 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: We got game time at let me pull that up here. 545 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: I think it was eight ten Eastern time. Let's double 546 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: check out. Yes, eight ten Eastern time, So we'll be 547 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: here late tomorrow night, probably right around ten thirty pm 548 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: Eastern time, so make sure you come on out for 549 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: tomorrow's postgame coverage.
