WEBVTT - Red Sox Win in Raffy's Return | Postgame Reaction #128 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.800 Welcome to Boss, the territory ladies, and my goodness, I'm 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.280 already messing up here. Welcome to Boss the territory ladies 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.919 and gentlemen. How you doing, how you're doing? Red Sox 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:26.000 win here? Goodness, gracious, we're having technical difficulties already. Raffi 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:29.680 coming back to Boston here has really just messed everything 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:31.639 up on my end. But the Red Sox find a 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.400 way to win this one here tonight. In Raffi's return, 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.640 final score six to four, record improves to sixty nine 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.920 and fifty nine, Ladies and gentlemen. They can't stop winning 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:44.239 in these greens Man. We got the bit of a 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.760 green background here tonight, we got the green hat on 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.200 here tonight. They always look good in those greens Man. 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:54.600 And even when Raffi comes back to town, they still 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.200 win the Greens. And of course Raffi hits a home 0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:01.160 run in his return to Femway Park. Of course he does. 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.800 I said this the other day in the postgame show 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.759 against the d Backs. The other day, I said, listen, 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:09.959 I'm not gonna be surprised at all if Rafi goes 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.480 deep in this series, and he wasted no time. But 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.160 the Big, the Big, talking point coming into this one 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:21.639 here today was what was the reaction gonna be, like, Well, 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:27.000 I was the crowd gonna respond when his name was called? 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.000 And you got a lot of booze, got a lot 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:34.440 of booze. And I'm surprised, honestly, I did say a 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.560 couple episodes ago, I thought there it would be a 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.800 mixed reaction, but I didn't think it would be so 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.840 heavy in favor of the booze. I would say there 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:49.240 was probably about a seventy to eighty percent boo percentage. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.520 You heard the cheers, you heard the collapse, a little 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.440 heavier than what I thought it would be, to be 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.880 completely honest, And obviously, the way things ended last year, 0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.560 We've talked about it. I'm not gonna get into it 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:03.680 yet again. But obviously the guy did a lot of 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.360 great things in a Red Sox uniform. All time leader 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.240 in home runs at third base in Red Sox history, 0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.120 came up with a lot of big hits, not just 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:14.680 in regular season play, but came up with big postseason 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.680 hits as well. He brought a lot of good to 0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.639 the Red Sox. You know, unfortunately it didn't end great, 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:26.560 but you know, so I still think that's fresh on 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.800 people's minds. Who knows, maybe things will be different towards 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.160 the end of his career. I don't know. 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:33.040 I don't know. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.760 But again, of course, he had a home run in 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.320 his return to Faenway Park. But that didn't matter the 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.799 ladies and gentlemen, because while we don't have Rafi anymore, 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.520 we got someone by the name of Wilson Contreras. And 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:52.239 the great season of Wilson Contreras continues, the best offensive 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:59.400 season of Wilson Contreras's career continues. This guy, Holy cow, 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:03.320 I have to go back into the archives and go 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:09.280 back to some absolute bombs, some absolute missiles at Famway Park. 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.840 This guy hit a mammoth home run here tonight. My goodness, 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.600 Wilson Contreras. I love having this guy in a Red 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.680 Sox uniform, but the Red Sox took advantage here tonight. 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.640 Of Logan Web, who's had a pretty up and down year, 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.840 but going back over the last several years, has been 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.960 one of the best pictures in baseball. This year hasn't 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.799 really been his best year by any means, but still 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:35.480 it's a Logan Web and he came apart here tonight. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.960 Really lacked command took advantage of that. They also took 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.600 advantage of some bad defense from the Giants out in 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.720 right field. The Giants not having a good year. You 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.480 saw it here on full display. I think, really what 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:52.880 you saw here from the Giants tonight, that's basically that 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.840 exemplifies what their season has been. You got guys that 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:01.520 can do things here, but team wise, they're just not there, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:06.680 you know, and really shows, really shows, but look them 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.880 web bad defense. Red Sox took advantage here tonight. You 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.560 had good nights from Jaron Duran had a triple here tonight, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.720 a couple of hits. Will you or bray? You also 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.520 got a triple to get a little help from Jong 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.000 Hu Lee in right field said he with a couple 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.200 of hits, so garb with a hit, two runs scored 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:25.000 Durbin Adley with a couple of hits here. Eleven hits 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.440 over all of the Red Sox tonight. Great performance from 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:32.800 the bullpen, especially after a not so great outing from 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.560 Sunny Gray. He really labored in the first few winnings here. 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.240 He did settle down towards the end, and then this 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:42.080 bullpen was fantastic. You had fourteen straight batters on the 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:46.200 giants get sat down in a row. Bullpen was fantastic. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:51.640 Shout out to Alec Gamboa getting a nod there late 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.440 in the game, getting a hold about Alec Gamboa. Man, 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.680 oh man, you gotta love that big shadman coming in, 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.800 locking things down, striking out three, Eric Miller looking good. 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.520 Just a good gritty win for the Red Sox here 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:10.400 tonight again you had the electricity of Wilson going yard. Here, 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.640 you obviously had the big moment with Raffi coming back. 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.280 But in the end, the Red Sox found a way 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.640 to get the job done, found a way and Sunny 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.839 Dray just continues to win games. Sixteenth win on the 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:28.360 season here continues to improve his career high. Well, let's 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.200 get to it ladies and gentlemen, let's get to it here. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.880 Hope everyone's having a good day. Hope everyone's oh man, 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.880 were a couple hours away from the weekend here, Hope 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.040 everyone's got some good plans for the weekend coming up. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.240 It was nice to have the day off yesterday. Gonna 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.000 be very honest with you, I got a lot of 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.560 stuff done on my end. I felt fresh coming in today, 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.559 and the Red Sox looked fresh coming in here today 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.080 and actually we got a super chat here to start 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:56.559 things off from Matt kills me seeing Raffi go yard 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.799 on us, but kind of felt like it was gonna happen. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.800 Chatman got a little gas I see there in the end. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:05.520 Love to see it, Robbie. Yeah, again, I'm not surprised, 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.400 you know, not surprised Raffi went yard. He's always been 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.800 a guy that he loves the big moment. You know, 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.719 you think of Seti right the last couple of years 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.359 of the Red Sox, the guy's been clutchwaw Raffi he 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.240 loves those big moments too, And so again I'm not 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.240 surprised he went yard. Yeah, you know, it stings, but 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.600 I'll take the Wilson Mammoth shot over that one. That 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.320 one was pretty good. That one was pretty good. Let's 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.159 get to a ladies and gentlemen if you can before 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.760 we get started. The like goal for tonight. We want 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.279 to get to fifty likes by the end of the 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.440 show here tonight. You can help us out. I'll love 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.120 you forever. And if you are finding us for the 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.440 first time, think about subscribing. We are trying to get 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:47.480 to ten k by the end of the season. Let's 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:54.200 get to Sonny Gray now again, not his best performance 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.520 here tonight, not his best performance. We've definitely seen better 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.880 from Sonny Gray. This was definitely a pretty outing for him. Now, 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.440 first time through the order, he was really using all 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.000 of his pictures, second time through lean more towards the sinkers, 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.440 third time through, leaning more towards the cutters. So he 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:14.640 was making adjustments as the night went on. But you 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:20.080 could tell he didn't fully feel his best here tonight. Now, 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.440 but of course we got to get to the h 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.000 we got to get to the theatrics here we got 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.320 we got to get to Raffi. Let's take a listen 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:29.679 at how this sounded. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:51.960 The designated hitter at number sixteen, Raphael Debris Raffi two. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.840 So yeah, as you could hear there, those booze are 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.520 pretty loud, man. Those people that came to Fedway Park 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.880 rated boo they got their uh, they got their booze ready, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.840 and they definitely sounded loud. But you know, you see 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.160 people in the crowd, they were, you know, giving a 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.240 round of applause for him. I'm you know, for me, 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.200 I always look at the positives with everything. Obviously, I 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:17.440 know how things ended. I was not a fan of 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.440 how that ended last year with him not wanting to 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.280 move over to first base after Cossus went down. Yeah, 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.240 wasn't a fan of it at all. I think you 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:27.920 got to step up for your team in that moment, 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.120 you know. But then I could also look at the 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.720 other side, where you know that the communication was not 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.840 great with him going into the offseason. You know, I 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.040 can totally understand a whole bunch of different angles with this, 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.040 you know, lack of communication, But then you could also say, well, hey, 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:46.920 he's getting paid a whole bunch of money, man, you know. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.280 In the end, obviously, I don't think it was handled great, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.800 So that's where I think the obviously the boos are 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:59.840 coming from. But I can definitely remember all of the 0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:02.920 with Raffy as well, because again, he was a great 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:06.720 player for the Red Sox. Of course, you would have 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.760 liked to have seen it, and differently, you'd still like 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.079 to see him in a Red Sox uniform. It is 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.080 what it is, is what it is. But that was 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:18.080 the reaction there. Eventually we had to start playing some 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.840 baseball here now. First inning, Drew Gilbert. He had a 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.040 base hit on the first pitch and then Raffi obviously 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.920 you just hear him stepping up. Sonny actually strikes him 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.200 out on a sinker top of the zone and then 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.600 he gets a Domis to pop out and Eldridge grounding out. 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.600 So Sonny dig it off to a good start there, 0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.480 and then in the second inning, Turner with a two 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.360 out double he strikes out Kavanaugh. After that he did 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.360 fall down two to oher in this and a third 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.480 pitch sinker was actually called a ball, so it would 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.480 have been a three to zero count, but Rushman, with 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:52.120 a challenge, overturned it, so that made the count two 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:54.040 to one. And then he battled back and struck him 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.480 out of a curve ball swinging. So that was a 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.040 good ab for Sonny there to battle back. But that's 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:02.439 kind of how this outing felt for Sonny, right, that 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.839 ab in itself, right falling down, falling behind, but then 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.079 battling back right. He had a long third inning, thirty 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.400 one pitches Costs with the bass hit, Gilbert strikes out 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.760 looking sinker inside, but then Raffi walks in his second 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:21.560 ab a Domis with a flyout, Eldridge with a bass hit. 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:23.800 Though that it gave the Giants who one nothing lead. 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.559 He walks Lee after that, and then Masabi with a 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.560 deep flyout to the center field end of the inning. 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.040 But yeah, he definitely labored here in the third inning 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.600 and then the fourth inning. We'll get to the Red 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.160 Sox offense in just a second. They did take a 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.400 big lead here, but then fourth inning, after the Red Sox, 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.480 you know, do some damage there. Sonny not able to 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.160 fully keep the Giants at bay. Costs with a double 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.160 second hit of the game, I think Drew Gilbert with 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.600 a home run that made a five to three, and 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.000 then Raffi with a home run makes a five to four. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.760 After that, though he settled down, he ended up sitting 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:03.240 down the last seven final line, six innings, seven hits, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:06.880 four earned, six strikeouts, two walks. So again, you were 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.160 getting some swing and miss here tonight. There were just 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.880 a few pitches that obviously weren't very good there, and 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.080 he definitely had a hard time in that third inning, 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:21.040 but again a gritty outing for Sonny battled back here tonight, 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:25.600 able to get the job done in the end. Let's 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:35.000 get to that offense, shall we now again? Logan Web 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.480 Logan Web on the bound for the Giants. He's one 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.000 of the best pitchers in baseball going back a long 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.000 time now. Over the last well like five or six 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.640 years or so, he's been very good. But again it 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.280 has been a down year. But Web I always enjoy 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.400 watching him pitch. You know, he's kind of like, I'm 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:53.760 not gonna say, I'm not gonna compare anyone to Greg Maddox, 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.120 but he's given me those vibes over the last several years. 0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:01.200 Right gets a ton of ground balls, locates tremendously, has 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.920 good stuff, but not quite here tonight, And you did 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.920 see it in the early going second enning, Duran with 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:10.439 a two out triple in to center field, got all 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.720 the way back to the wall. Duran. We've talked about 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:18.040 this a million times. Duran. He's been very streaky obviously 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:21.640 this year, but he's hitting another streak right now. He's 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.040 pitting really well as of late eight for his last 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.360 twenty six with a home run there and a triple 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:31.080 here tonight. Eight seventy nine ops over his last seven games, 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:35.719 So I'm hoping Duran can find a way to get 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.760 to a seven hundred OPS by the end of the year. 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.160 He's what is it like around a six twenty six 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.559 point thirty Right now, he's got a lot of work 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.680 to do to get to that point. I'm pulling for it, Duran. 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.040 Let's go seven hungred ops to end the year. After that, though, 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:53.640 Monasterio flies out the strain up at third but third inning, 0:12:54.080 --> 0:13:00.960 this is where Logan Webb started to melt down. So 0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.240 garb with the one out walk, will you're with a 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.079 two out base hit? So the Red Sox got a 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:14.439 couple of runners on and here comes Wilson Contrares. If 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.200 I can find the clip, goodness, gracious, there we go, 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:20.160 Hi love. 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:26.840 And forget about it. That is to loud here gone? 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.560 Did he crush that? Or what? 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:31.040 BM? 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:32.720 Run number twenty. 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.400 Six one and sixteen off the bat? 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:36.840 It went four point fifty. 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:37.640 I don't know if. 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.080 It's landed yet. Do you think he got all of it? 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:43.280 I think he did. 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.640 That went all the way to New Hampshire. I wish 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:48.960 I could show that clip. I would probably play it 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:53.760 like five times because that was an absolute moonshot, absolute missile, 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.600 just majestic into the night again. I think it's still 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.800 traveling to New Hampshire. Ladies and gentlemen who said four 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.280 enge of fifty feet? Goodness, the eggs of the log 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.600 jasophic sharks. It just an absolute blast, completely hung it 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.560 right over the zone. What pitch was this? It was 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:14.480 a change up that did not change up at all. 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.520 He just hung right there, right in the middle of 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:21.040 the zone. Willier got it, Man oh Man. After that, 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.360 Adley and Durbin with a couple of base hits. Duran 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.360 gets hit by a pitch. Monasteria with a walk that 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.480 drives in another run. That made it four to one. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.560 Gasper with a hit by pitch. That makes it five 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:36.600 to one. Now again the Giants, they answered back here, 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:38.920 they answered back, like I said, you get a couple 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:44.800 of home runs. Gilbert Raffi going yard draw drew the 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.760 game a little bit closer there, made it five to four. 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.880 And uh the Red Sox they had a bit of 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.800 a chance here to answer back to that. Giants rally, 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.960 will you're with a base hit? Wilson with a walk 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:57.840 in the fourth inning, but then Adley rinding into a 0:14:57.840 --> 0:14:59.960 double play. But into the sixth inning, you were able 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.240 to add on another so Guard with the base hit, 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:06.720 and then will You're a very hard hit ball out 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.840 to right field, and he got a little bit of 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.320 help from Jung Hu Lee out there. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.040 He's so guard on swinging a shot out to right. 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.280 Lee is there and it's off to glove. That's gonna 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.760 go all the way to the bullpen fans. That's gonna 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:25.840 bring it to run. So Guard will store bring it 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.560 into third. He dives in safely. 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:31.960 Yeah, he got a little hub from Lee and bounced 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.440 off his glove. He was still credited with the triple. 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.720 I thought that was gonna be an error, but uh, 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.680 as of right I don't know, maybe they change it 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:43.040 at some point, but he had, I mean, has the 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.840 triple as of right now. But that to me looked 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.200 like an error. I don't know what can you do, 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.880 but hey, we'll take it all day, every day. That 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.680 made a six to four and that was all the 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.160 Red Sox bullpen needed here tonight. Eric Miller will have 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.200 won two to three. Struck out Jonah Cox on a 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:02.400 slider a Domis uh adamis looking on three pitches, alc 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.480 gamboa good inning in the eighth. He strikes out possibly 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.920 to end the inning, and then Shapman absolutely dominated here, 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:12.880 three strikeouts and then striking out Jonah Cox to end 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:13.120 the game. 0:16:14.200 --> 0:16:17.840 Two strike pitch swing at a mess He could not. 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:18.960 Lay off it. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.440 One hundred miles an hour out of the Red Sox 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.960 seal the Whims six to four. They take Game one 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.480 he against Ralphie Devers and the Giants on a fun 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.800 Friday night here at Fenway Park, six to four to final. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.440 Dave O'Brien with the call. Red Sox improve to sixty 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:42.000 nine and fifty nine. They're back to five hundred at home. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:46.240 Let's please, let's just win the next couple of games 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.680 so we are firmly above five hundred at home. I 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.120 want to I want to just get rid of this. 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.560 This is bad home record up to this point. Obviously 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.760 it's been a lot better as of late. But uh, 0:16:58.080 --> 0:16:59.800 good to see them go back to five hundred here. 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.120 Now taking a look at the standings, let's see what 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.560 we got going on here. And uh, the Yankees, I 0:17:07.560 --> 0:17:10.199 mean they've been hitting a bit of a hot stretch here. 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.080 They've won five in a row up to this point, 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:17.320 the Red Sox four games behind the Yankees for that 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.400 first Wildcard. Now the Rays, they've actually dropped a couple 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:22.760 of games here. Again, the Rays that they've had, they've 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.160 had their streaks this year as well. They've gotten hot 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.439 and they've gotten cold. So you're seven back in this 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:32.639 division right now. Now, taking a look at the wildcard 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:37.280 situation as of right now, again, you know Red Sox 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.359 are firmly in this second spot, but you are gunning 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:42.199 for the first spot. You got some ground to make 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.359 up here with the Yankees again, who are looking pretty 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.920 good over the last week or so. The Twins, they've 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.879 been winning a few games here. They're tied with the 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:54.200 Rangers right now for the third wildcard spot. The Blue 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.960 Jays are a game back, Guardians are a game back 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.639 Orioles game, and a half back Tigers game and a 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.159 half back. Still got the Mariners hanging around with that 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.640 good pitching over there. They've been better in the second 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.480 half over the last few years. I'm still keeping my 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.359 eye on the Mariners right there. But a lot of 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:14.120 teams in the mix of the third wild card. It's 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:21.760 gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting, but we're gonna 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.000 take a quick look. I am really zoom being able 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:26.840 to make this gracious. Oh, by the way, I fixed 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:28.840 a lot of the Remember I told you the other 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.280 night that I did an update on the computer and 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.600 it just messed a whole bunch of stuff up. I 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.440 got some stuff fixed, all right. I got the camera 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:41.640 fixed a little bit. But uh so, at least for now, 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.760 we're good to go in that department. You all know 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.399 me when it comes to technology, I just mess everything up. 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:50.640 Let's talk about game two and this is presented by 0:18:51.400 --> 0:19:01.520 Fox One. Now, obviously Sonny did lay a bit here tonight. 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:06.040 Patrick Sandval unfortunately not coming off a great out against 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:09.600 the Pittsburgh Pirates the last time out, the Pirates were 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.240 just going to town off of him. He is looking 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.800 for a bounce back performance against the Giants here going 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:18.440 up against Blade Tidwell now again with Sandoval, I mean 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.560 the last having against the Pirates, leaving way too many 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.120 pictures over the zone. They were just going to town 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.640 off of him, just hit after hit after hit after hit. 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.600 The command was not good with him. He just didn't 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:35.359 have it. So hopefully he could neutralize some of these 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:40.359 lefty bats like Raffi, like Eldridge in this lineup, we'll see, 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:45.800 but Blade Tidwell taking a look at him now with Tidwell, 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.520 he's still in the very early going of his career. 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:53.360 He was in the bullpen in the beginning of the season. 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:57.040 He was with the Giants for April in the bullpen, 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.040 but recently came back to the Giants and he's He 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.399 made a few starts last start, though he did not 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.760 look very good. He went four and a third against 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:10.360 the Rockies. He walked five, giving up six. Funny enough, 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.399 he only gave up three hits, but the command was 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.880 just awfully walked five batters, give up six runs. Now 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.639 the starts before that, he did look better against the 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.639 Astros and the Rangers. He went five and two thirds 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:26.159 one earned against the Astros, five innings two earned against 0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:29.840 the Rangers. So we'll see what we got with Tidwell 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:34.120 in this one. Now, taking a look at the metrics 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.639 here over on stat cast. Now again, he's not seeing 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.760 all the fuzzies here because he's not qualified yet. But 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.040 you know what I see is someone that is getting 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:47.680 a good amount of swing and miss. He's not giving 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:49.399 up a whole lot of barrels. He's gonna give you 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:51.640 good v LO right around ninety five miles an hour 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.119 on average. He's gonna limit the exit v low. The 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.879 problem with him is while he is getting swing and miss, 0:20:58.040 --> 0:21:01.120 he's not able to put guys away. His chase rate 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:06.639 ranks very low. Strikeout percentage only eighteen percent. Like we said, 0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:10.080 the command was bad in his last outing, so he's 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.240 pretty Uh, he's a little below average with his walk percentage. 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:16.080 And you know, while he is limiting barrels, he's still 0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.440 giving up and he is limiting eggs a v low. 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.919 He is still giving up a lot of hard hits 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:25.200 in the process. He's also not giving up, but he's 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.639 not inducing a lot of ground balls. He's below average 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.680 with his ground ball percentage. So it's gonna be interesting 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.720 to see what kind of performance we get from Tidwell 0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:41.360 here tomorrow. Now, looking at the pitches, batters are hitting 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.960 three hungred against his four seamer. He's given up a 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:46.240 couple of home runs off that five point thirty three. 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:51.160 Slugging against it. Sweeper batters are hitting two seventy against it, 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.679 but it has given up a lot of weak contact. 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:57.080 Sinkers has been a pretty good picture for him. Batter's 0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:02.120 only hitting one sixty seven against it. Sliders also, that's 0:22:02.119 --> 0:22:04.560 been a good pitch for him. Two. Now, if we're 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:06.560 looking at the movement, I mean, he's definitely gonna get 0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:09.800 a good amount of arm side break on that sinker. 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.480 He's gonna have some pretty good life on the fastball, 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:16.120 so that explains the swing and miss in the zone there, 0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.520 batters are having a hard time picking it up now 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:23.800 with his extension, he's in the fifty seventh percentile here, 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.879 so that could explain a little bit why he's getting 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:30.360
