Speaker 1: Welcome to Boss, the territory ladies, and my goodness, I'm
Speaker 1: already messing up here. Welcome to Boss the territory ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. How you doing, how you're doing? Red Sox
Speaker 1: win here? Goodness, gracious, we're having technical difficulties already. Raffi
Speaker 1: coming back to Boston here has really just messed everything
Speaker 1: up on my end. But the Red Sox find a
Speaker 1: way to win this one here tonight. In Raffi's return,
Speaker 1: final score six to four, record improves to sixty nine
Speaker 1: and fifty nine, Ladies and gentlemen. They can't stop winning
Speaker 1: in these greens Man. We got the bit of a
Speaker 1: green background here tonight, we got the green hat on
Speaker 1: here tonight. They always look good in those greens Man.
Speaker 1: And even when Raffi comes back to town, they still
Speaker 1: win the Greens. And of course Raffi hits a home
Speaker 1: run in his return to Femway Park. Of course he does.
Speaker 1: I said this the other day in the postgame show
Speaker 1: against the d Backs. The other day, I said, listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be surprised at all if Rafi goes
Speaker 1: deep in this series, and he wasted no time. But
Speaker 1: the Big, the Big, talking point coming into this one
Speaker 1: here today was what was the reaction gonna be, like, Well,
Speaker 1: I was the crowd gonna respond when his name was called?
Speaker 1: And you got a lot of booze, got a lot
Speaker 1: of booze. And I'm surprised, honestly, I did say a
Speaker 1: couple episodes ago, I thought there it would be a
Speaker 1: mixed reaction, but I didn't think it would be so
Speaker 1: heavy in favor of the booze. I would say there
Speaker 1: was probably about a seventy to eighty percent boo percentage.
Speaker 1: You heard the cheers, you heard the collapse, a little
Speaker 1: heavier than what I thought it would be, to be
Speaker 1: completely honest, And obviously, the way things ended last year,
Speaker 1: We've talked about it. I'm not gonna get into it
Speaker 1: yet again. But obviously the guy did a lot of
Speaker 1: great things in a Red Sox uniform. All time leader
Speaker 1: in home runs at third base in Red Sox history,
Speaker 1: came up with a lot of big hits, not just
Speaker 1: in regular season play, but came up with big postseason
Speaker 1: hits as well. He brought a lot of good to
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. You know, unfortunately it didn't end great,
Speaker 1: but you know, so I still think that's fresh on
Speaker 1: people's minds. Who knows, maybe things will be different towards
Speaker 1: the end of his career. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But again, of course, he had a home run in
Speaker 1: his return to Faenway Park. But that didn't matter the
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, because while we don't have Rafi anymore,
Speaker 1: we got someone by the name of Wilson Contreras. And
Speaker 1: the great season of Wilson Contreras continues, the best offensive
Speaker 1: season of Wilson Contreras's career continues. This guy, Holy cow,
Speaker 1: I have to go back into the archives and go
Speaker 1: back to some absolute bombs, some absolute missiles at Famway Park.
Speaker 1: This guy hit a mammoth home run here tonight. My goodness,
Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras. I love having this guy in a Red
Speaker 1: Sox uniform, but the Red Sox took advantage here tonight.
Speaker 1: Of Logan Web, who's had a pretty up and down year,
Speaker 1: but going back over the last several years, has been
Speaker 1: one of the best pictures in baseball. This year hasn't
Speaker 1: really been his best year by any means, but still
Speaker 1: it's a Logan Web and he came apart here tonight.
Speaker 1: Really lacked command took advantage of that. They also took
Speaker 1: advantage of some bad defense from the Giants out in
Speaker 1: right field. The Giants not having a good year. You
Speaker 1: saw it here on full display. I think, really what
Speaker 1: you saw here from the Giants tonight, that's basically that
Speaker 1: exemplifies what their season has been. You got guys that
Speaker 1: can do things here, but team wise, they're just not there,
Speaker 1: you know, and really shows, really shows, but look them
Speaker 1: web bad defense. Red Sox took advantage here tonight. You
Speaker 1: had good nights from Jaron Duran had a triple here tonight,
Speaker 1: a couple of hits. Will you or bray? You also
Speaker 1: got a triple to get a little help from Jong
Speaker 1: Hu Lee in right field said he with a couple
Speaker 1: of hits, so garb with a hit, two runs scored
Speaker 1: Durbin Adley with a couple of hits here. Eleven hits
Speaker 1: over all of the Red Sox tonight. Great performance from
Speaker 1: the bullpen, especially after a not so great outing from
Speaker 1: Sunny Gray. He really labored in the first few winnings here.
Speaker 1: He did settle down towards the end, and then this
Speaker 1: bullpen was fantastic. You had fourteen straight batters on the
Speaker 1: giants get sat down in a row. Bullpen was fantastic.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Alec Gamboa getting a nod there late
Speaker 1: in the game, getting a hold about Alec Gamboa. Man,
Speaker 1: oh man, you gotta love that big shadman coming in,
Speaker 1: locking things down, striking out three, Eric Miller looking good.
Speaker 1: Just a good gritty win for the Red Sox here
Speaker 1: tonight again you had the electricity of Wilson going yard. Here,
Speaker 1: you obviously had the big moment with Raffi coming back.
Speaker 1: But in the end, the Red Sox found a way
Speaker 1: to get the job done, found a way and Sunny
Speaker 1: Dray just continues to win games. Sixteenth win on the
Speaker 1: season here continues to improve his career high. Well, let's
Speaker 1: get to it ladies and gentlemen, let's get to it here.
Speaker 1: Hope everyone's having a good day. Hope everyone's oh man,
Speaker 1: were a couple hours away from the weekend here, Hope
Speaker 1: everyone's got some good plans for the weekend coming up.
Speaker 1: It was nice to have the day off yesterday. Gonna
Speaker 1: be very honest with you, I got a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff done on my end. I felt fresh coming in today,
Speaker 1: and the Red Sox looked fresh coming in here today
Speaker 1: and actually we got a super chat here to start
Speaker 1: things off from Matt kills me seeing Raffi go yard
Speaker 1: on us, but kind of felt like it was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Chatman got a little gas I see there in the end.
Speaker 1: Love to see it, Robbie. Yeah, again, I'm not surprised,
Speaker 1: you know, not surprised Raffi went yard. He's always been
Speaker 1: a guy that he loves the big moment. You know,
Speaker 1: you think of Seti right the last couple of years
Speaker 1: of the Red Sox, the guy's been clutchwaw Raffi he
Speaker 1: loves those big moments too, And so again I'm not
Speaker 1: surprised he went yard. Yeah, you know, it stings, but
Speaker 1: I'll take the Wilson Mammoth shot over that one. That
Speaker 1: one was pretty good. That one was pretty good. Let's
Speaker 1: get to a ladies and gentlemen if you can before
Speaker 1: we get started. The like goal for tonight. We want
Speaker 1: to get to fifty likes by the end of the
Speaker 1: show here tonight. You can help us out. I'll love
Speaker 1: you forever. And if you are finding us for the
Speaker 1: first time, think about subscribing. We are trying to get
Speaker 1: to ten k by the end of the season. Let's
Speaker 1: get to Sonny Gray now again, not his best performance
Speaker 1: here tonight, not his best performance. We've definitely seen better
Speaker 1: from Sonny Gray. This was definitely a pretty outing for him. Now,
Speaker 1: first time through the order, he was really using all
Speaker 1: of his pictures, second time through lean more towards the sinkers,
Speaker 1: third time through, leaning more towards the cutters. So he
Speaker 1: was making adjustments as the night went on. But you
Speaker 1: could tell he didn't fully feel his best here tonight. Now,
Speaker 1: but of course we got to get to the h
Speaker 1: we got to get to the theatrics here we got
Speaker 1: we got to get to Raffi. Let's take a listen
Speaker 1: at how this sounded.
Speaker 2: The designated hitter at number sixteen, Raphael Debris Raffi two.
Speaker 1: So yeah, as you could hear there, those booze are
Speaker 1: pretty loud, man. Those people that came to Fedway Park
Speaker 1: rated boo they got their uh, they got their booze ready,
Speaker 1: and they definitely sounded loud. But you know, you see
Speaker 1: people in the crowd, they were, you know, giving a
Speaker 1: round of applause for him. I'm you know, for me,
Speaker 1: I always look at the positives with everything. Obviously, I
Speaker 1: know how things ended. I was not a fan of
Speaker 1: how that ended last year with him not wanting to
Speaker 1: move over to first base after Cossus went down. Yeah,
Speaker 1: wasn't a fan of it at all. I think you
Speaker 1: got to step up for your team in that moment,
Speaker 1: you know. But then I could also look at the
Speaker 1: other side, where you know that the communication was not
Speaker 1: great with him going into the offseason. You know, I
Speaker 1: can totally understand a whole bunch of different angles with this,
Speaker 1: you know, lack of communication, But then you could also say, well, hey,
Speaker 1: he's getting paid a whole bunch of money, man, you know.
Speaker 1: In the end, obviously, I don't think it was handled great,
Speaker 1: So that's where I think the obviously the boos are
Speaker 1: coming from. But I can definitely remember all of the
Speaker 1: with Raffy as well, because again, he was a great
Speaker 1: player for the Red Sox. Of course, you would have
Speaker 1: liked to have seen it, and differently, you'd still like
Speaker 1: to see him in a Red Sox uniform. It is
Speaker 1: what it is, is what it is. But that was
Speaker 1: the reaction there. Eventually we had to start playing some
Speaker 1: baseball here now. First inning, Drew Gilbert. He had a
Speaker 1: base hit on the first pitch and then Raffi obviously
Speaker 1: you just hear him stepping up. Sonny actually strikes him
Speaker 1: out on a sinker top of the zone and then
Speaker 1: he gets a Domis to pop out and Eldridge grounding out.
Speaker 1: So Sonny dig it off to a good start there,
Speaker 1: and then in the second inning, Turner with a two
Speaker 1: out double he strikes out Kavanaugh. After that he did
Speaker 1: fall down two to oher in this and a third
Speaker 1: pitch sinker was actually called a ball, so it would
Speaker 1: have been a three to zero count, but Rushman, with
Speaker 1: a challenge, overturned it, so that made the count two
Speaker 1: to one. And then he battled back and struck him
Speaker 1: out of a curve ball swinging. So that was a
Speaker 1: good ab for Sonny there to battle back. But that's
Speaker 1: kind of how this outing felt for Sonny, right, that
Speaker 1: ab in itself, right falling down, falling behind, but then
Speaker 1: battling back right. He had a long third inning, thirty
Speaker 1: one pitches Costs with the bass hit, Gilbert strikes out
Speaker 1: looking sinker inside, but then Raffi walks in his second
Speaker 1: ab a Domis with a flyout, Eldridge with a bass hit.
Speaker 1: Though that it gave the Giants who one nothing lead.
Speaker 1: He walks Lee after that, and then Masabi with a
Speaker 1: deep flyout to the center field end of the inning.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he definitely labored here in the third inning
Speaker 1: and then the fourth inning. We'll get to the Red
Speaker 1: Sox offense in just a second. They did take a
Speaker 1: big lead here, but then fourth inning, after the Red Sox,
Speaker 1: you know, do some damage there. Sonny not able to
Speaker 1: fully keep the Giants at bay. Costs with a double
Speaker 1: second hit of the game, I think Drew Gilbert with
Speaker 1: a home run that made a five to three, and
Speaker 1: then Raffi with a home run makes a five to four.
Speaker 1: After that, though he settled down, he ended up sitting
Speaker 1: down the last seven final line, six innings, seven hits,
Speaker 1: four earned, six strikeouts, two walks. So again, you were
Speaker 1: getting some swing and miss here tonight. There were just
Speaker 1: a few pitches that obviously weren't very good there, and
Speaker 1: he definitely had a hard time in that third inning,
Speaker 1: but again a gritty outing for Sonny battled back here tonight,
Speaker 1: able to get the job done in the end. Let's
Speaker 1: get to that offense, shall we now again? Logan Web
Speaker 1: Logan Web on the bound for the Giants. He's one
Speaker 1: of the best pitchers in baseball going back a long
Speaker 1: time now. Over the last well like five or six
Speaker 1: years or so, he's been very good. But again it
Speaker 1: has been a down year. But Web I always enjoy
Speaker 1: watching him pitch. You know, he's kind of like, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say, I'm not gonna compare anyone to Greg Maddox,
Speaker 1: but he's given me those vibes over the last several years.
Speaker 1: Right gets a ton of ground balls, locates tremendously, has
Speaker 1: good stuff, but not quite here tonight, And you did
Speaker 1: see it in the early going second enning, Duran with
Speaker 1: a two out triple in to center field, got all
Speaker 1: the way back to the wall. Duran. We've talked about
Speaker 1: this a million times. Duran. He's been very streaky obviously
Speaker 1: this year, but he's hitting another streak right now. He's
Speaker 1: pitting really well as of late eight for his last
Speaker 1: twenty six with a home run there and a triple
Speaker 1: here tonight. Eight seventy nine ops over his last seven games,
Speaker 1: So I'm hoping Duran can find a way to get
Speaker 1: to a seven hundred OPS by the end of the year.
Speaker 1: He's what is it like around a six twenty six
Speaker 1: point thirty Right now, he's got a lot of work
Speaker 1: to do to get to that point. I'm pulling for it, Duran.
Speaker 1: Let's go seven hungred ops to end the year. After that, though,
Speaker 1: Monasterio flies out the strain up at third but third inning,
Speaker 1: this is where Logan Webb started to melt down. So
Speaker 1: garb with the one out walk, will you're with a
Speaker 1: two out base hit? So the Red Sox got a
Speaker 1: couple of runners on and here comes Wilson Contrares. If
Speaker 1: I can find the clip, goodness, gracious, there we go,
Speaker 1: Hi love.
Speaker 2: And forget about it. That is to loud here gone?
Speaker 1: Did he crush that? Or what?
Speaker 2: BM?
Speaker 1: Run number twenty.
Speaker 2: Six one and sixteen off the bat?
Speaker 1: It went four point fifty.
Speaker 2: I don't know if.
Speaker 1: It's landed yet. Do you think he got all of it?
Speaker 2: I think he did.
Speaker 1: That went all the way to New Hampshire. I wish
Speaker 1: I could show that clip. I would probably play it
Speaker 1: like five times because that was an absolute moonshot, absolute missile,
Speaker 1: just majestic into the night again. I think it's still
Speaker 1: traveling to New Hampshire. Ladies and gentlemen who said four
Speaker 1: enge of fifty feet? Goodness, the eggs of the log
Speaker 1: jasophic sharks. It just an absolute blast, completely hung it
Speaker 1: right over the zone. What pitch was this? It was
Speaker 1: a change up that did not change up at all.
Speaker 1: He just hung right there, right in the middle of
Speaker 1: the zone. Willier got it, Man oh Man. After that,
Speaker 1: Adley and Durbin with a couple of base hits. Duran
Speaker 1: gets hit by a pitch. Monasteria with a walk that
Speaker 1: drives in another run. That made it four to one.
Speaker 1: Gasper with a hit by pitch. That makes it five
Speaker 1: to one. Now again the Giants, they answered back here,
Speaker 1: they answered back, like I said, you get a couple
Speaker 1: of home runs. Gilbert Raffi going yard draw drew the
Speaker 1: game a little bit closer there, made it five to four.
Speaker 1: And uh the Red Sox they had a bit of
Speaker 1: a chance here to answer back to that. Giants rally,
Speaker 1: will you're with a base hit? Wilson with a walk
Speaker 1: in the fourth inning, but then Adley rinding into a
Speaker 1: double play. But into the sixth inning, you were able
Speaker 1: to add on another so Guard with the base hit,
Speaker 1: and then will You're a very hard hit ball out
Speaker 1: to right field, and he got a little bit of
Speaker 1: help from Jung Hu Lee out there.
Speaker 2: He's so guard on swinging a shot out to right.
Speaker 2: Lee is there and it's off to glove. That's gonna
Speaker 2: go all the way to the bullpen fans. That's gonna
Speaker 2: bring it to run. So Guard will store bring it
Speaker 2: into third. He dives in safely.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got a little hub from Lee and bounced
Speaker 1: off his glove. He was still credited with the triple.
Speaker 1: I thought that was gonna be an error, but uh,
Speaker 1: as of right I don't know, maybe they change it
Speaker 1: at some point, but he had, I mean, has the
Speaker 1: triple as of right now. But that to me looked
Speaker 1: like an error. I don't know what can you do,
Speaker 1: but hey, we'll take it all day, every day. That
Speaker 1: made a six to four and that was all the
Speaker 1: Red Sox bullpen needed here tonight. Eric Miller will have
Speaker 1: won two to three. Struck out Jonah Cox on a
Speaker 1: slider a Domis uh adamis looking on three pitches, alc
Speaker 1: gamboa good inning in the eighth. He strikes out possibly
Speaker 1: to end the inning, and then Shapman absolutely dominated here,
Speaker 1: three strikeouts and then striking out Jonah Cox to end
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: Two strike pitch swing at a mess He could not.
Speaker 1: Lay off it.
Speaker 2: One hundred miles an hour out of the Red Sox
Speaker 2: seal the Whims six to four. They take Game one
Speaker 2: he against Ralphie Devers and the Giants on a fun
Speaker 2: Friday night here at Fenway Park, six to four to final.
Speaker 1: Dave O'Brien with the call. Red Sox improve to sixty
Speaker 1: nine and fifty nine. They're back to five hundred at home.
Speaker 1: Let's please, let's just win the next couple of games
Speaker 1: so we are firmly above five hundred at home. I
Speaker 1: want to I want to just get rid of this.
Speaker 1: This is bad home record up to this point. Obviously
Speaker 1: it's been a lot better as of late. But uh,
Speaker 1: good to see them go back to five hundred here.
Speaker 1: Now taking a look at the standings, let's see what
Speaker 1: we got going on here. And uh, the Yankees, I
Speaker 1: mean they've been hitting a bit of a hot stretch here.
Speaker 1: They've won five in a row up to this point,
Speaker 1: the Red Sox four games behind the Yankees for that
Speaker 1: first Wildcard. Now the Rays, they've actually dropped a couple
Speaker 1: of games here. Again, the Rays that they've had, they've
Speaker 1: had their streaks this year as well. They've gotten hot
Speaker 1: and they've gotten cold. So you're seven back in this
Speaker 1: division right now. Now, taking a look at the wildcard
Speaker 1: situation as of right now, again, you know Red Sox
Speaker 1: are firmly in this second spot, but you are gunning
Speaker 1: for the first spot. You got some ground to make
Speaker 1: up here with the Yankees again, who are looking pretty
Speaker 1: good over the last week or so. The Twins, they've
Speaker 1: been winning a few games here. They're tied with the
Speaker 1: Rangers right now for the third wildcard spot. The Blue
Speaker 1: Jays are a game back, Guardians are a game back
Speaker 1: Orioles game, and a half back Tigers game and a
Speaker 1: half back. Still got the Mariners hanging around with that
Speaker 1: good pitching over there. They've been better in the second
Speaker 1: half over the last few years. I'm still keeping my
Speaker 1: eye on the Mariners right there. But a lot of
Speaker 1: teams in the mix of the third wild card. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a quick look. I am really zoom being able
Speaker 1: to make this gracious. Oh, by the way, I fixed
Speaker 1: a lot of the Remember I told you the other
Speaker 1: night that I did an update on the computer and
Speaker 1: it just messed a whole bunch of stuff up. I
Speaker 1: got some stuff fixed, all right. I got the camera
Speaker 1: fixed a little bit. But uh so, at least for now,
Speaker 1: we're good to go in that department. You all know
Speaker 1: me when it comes to technology, I just mess everything up.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about game two and this is presented by
Speaker 1: Fox One. Now, obviously Sonny did lay a bit here tonight.
Speaker 1: Patrick Sandval unfortunately not coming off a great out against
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Pirates the last time out, the Pirates were
Speaker 1: just going to town off of him. He is looking
Speaker 1: for a bounce back performance against the Giants here going
Speaker 1: up against Blade Tidwell now again with Sandoval, I mean
Speaker 1: the last having against the Pirates, leaving way too many
Speaker 1: pictures over the zone. They were just going to town
Speaker 1: off of him, just hit after hit after hit after hit.
Speaker 1: The command was not good with him. He just didn't
Speaker 1: have it. So hopefully he could neutralize some of these
Speaker 1: lefty bats like Raffi, like Eldridge in this lineup, we'll see,
Speaker 1: but Blade Tidwell taking a look at him now with Tidwell,
Speaker 1: he's still in the very early going of his career.
Speaker 1: He was in the bullpen in the beginning of the season.
Speaker 1: He was with the Giants for April in the bullpen,
Speaker 1: but recently came back to the Giants and he's He
Speaker 1: made a few starts last start, though he did not
Speaker 1: look very good. He went four and a third against
Speaker 1: the Rockies. He walked five, giving up six. Funny enough,
Speaker 1: he only gave up three hits, but the command was
Speaker 1: just awfully walked five batters, give up six runs. Now
Speaker 1: the starts before that, he did look better against the
Speaker 1: Astros and the Rangers. He went five and two thirds
Speaker 1: one earned against the Astros, five innings two earned against
Speaker 1: the Rangers. So we'll see what we got with Tidwell
Speaker 1: in this one. Now, taking a look at the metrics
Speaker 1: here over on stat cast. Now again, he's not seeing
Speaker 1: all the fuzzies here because he's not qualified yet. But
Speaker 1: you know what I see is someone that is getting
Speaker 1: a good amount of swing and miss. He's not giving
Speaker 1: up a whole lot of barrels. He's gonna give you
Speaker 1: good v LO right around ninety five miles an hour
Speaker 1: on average. He's gonna limit the exit v low. The
Speaker 1: problem with him is while he is getting swing and miss,
Speaker 1: he's not able to put guys away. His chase rate
Speaker 1: ranks very low. Strikeout percentage only eighteen percent. Like we said,
Speaker 1: the command was bad in his last outing, so he's
Speaker 1: pretty Uh, he's a little below average with his walk percentage.
Speaker 1: And you know, while he is limiting barrels, he's still
Speaker 1: giving up and he is limiting eggs a v low.
Speaker 1: He is still giving up a lot of hard hits
Speaker 1: in the process. He's also not giving up, but he's
Speaker 1: not inducing a lot of ground balls. He's below average
Speaker 1: with his ground ball percentage. So it's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: to see what kind of performance we get from Tidwell
Speaker 1: here tomorrow. Now, looking at the pitches, batters are hitting
Speaker 1: three hungred against his four seamer. He's given up a
Speaker 1: couple of home runs off that five point thirty three.
Speaker 1: Slugging against it. Sweeper batters are hitting two seventy against it,
Speaker 1: but it has given up a lot of weak contact.
Speaker 1: Sinkers has been a pretty good picture for him. Batter's
Speaker 1: only hitting one sixty seven against it. Sliders also, that's
Speaker 1: been a good pitch for him. Two. Now, if we're
Speaker 1: looking at the movement, I mean, he's definitely gonna get
Speaker 1: a good amount of arm side break on that sinker.
Speaker 1: He's gonna have some pretty good life on the fastball,
Speaker 1: so that explains the swing and miss in the zone there,
Speaker 1: batters are having a hard time picking it up now
Speaker 1: with his extension, he's in the fifty seventh percentile here,
Speaker 1: so that could explain a little bit why he's getting
Speaker 1: some swing and miss now with a sweeper in the slider,
Speaker 1: having pretty good pitches with him, but you know, not
Speaker 1: a ton of movement, So I don't know. I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see what the red Sox do here. But if
Speaker 1: you're looking at the run values, positive two on the slider,
Speaker 1: positive two on the sinker, positive one on the sweeper.
Speaker 1: But the fastballs again, you know he's getting swing and
Speaker 1: miss but on his more so on the sweeper. But
Speaker 1: the fastball, while it has pretty good life, has not
Speaker 1: been a pretty good pitch from overall. So we'll see
Speaker 1: how this goes. I'm very intrigued with blade Tidwell. Now,
Speaker 1: really quick, really quick, We're just gonna take a quick break.
Speaker 1: Take a listen to tonight's sponsor, Fox one. MLB on

Speaker 1: I see you in the chat. You thought fifty seven
Speaker 1: to fifty eight. These advanced stats are stupid. Show me
Speaker 1: strikes versus balls, strike out percentage, elra some JABRONI can
Speaker 1: have good advanced stats and not be good. Well, I
Speaker 1: showed you the strikeout percentage. We showed you the walk
Speaker 1: percentage as well. Advanced stats are good to look at,
Speaker 1: my friend. It paints more of a picture on what
Speaker 1: you got to work with, right, Yeah, I like the
Speaker 1: traditional stats too, But there is absolutely a place when
Speaker 1: it comes to the metrics, of course, along with the
Speaker 1: traditional stats. I think you. I think there's obviously a
Speaker 1: place for both. So John, you need to hire a producer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that would really help. That would really help. Trust me,
Speaker 1: I've thought about it in the past. Maybe one day unfortunately,
Speaker 1: that to do a show every night, To get a
Speaker 1: producer every night, it's a little a little out of
Speaker 1: the budget at this point, but that would be nice
Speaker 1: one day that that is the goal, hopefully, hopefully. What
Speaker 1: else we got going on in the chat. We'll hang
Speaker 1: out for a couple of minutes here, Let's see what
Speaker 1: we get. Lousy truth, great night for Duran. Yeah, hopefully
Speaker 1: Duran can keep this going. Man, it's been a tough season.
Speaker 1: I would love it just for him to end his
Speaker 1: season on a good note right going into twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 1: you know, just to have him have that little bit
Speaker 1: of momentum going into the offseason. He can feel obviously
Speaker 1: it's been a down year, but he can feel good
Speaker 1: about himself going into the off season right and hopefully
Speaker 1: carry that into twenty twenty seven. Now, who knows how
Speaker 1: the off season's gonna go. Who knows what's gonna end
Speaker 1: up happening there. We'll see. But speaking speaking of Jared Durant,
Speaker 1: speaking of left field, Roman Anthony with a double here
Speaker 1: tonight with Portland. He's looking good. Swing is looking good.
Speaker 1: The thought of Roman Anthony, if you can get twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five Roman Anthony into this lineup, scary thought, man,
Speaker 1: It's a scary thought. Scary thought for other teams out there,
Speaker 1: not for us, that would be amazing. But he is
Speaker 1: looking good right the couple of swings that we've seen
Speaker 1: with him down in Portland, the home run the other day,
Speaker 1: double here tonight, it's looking good. It's that same just aggressive,
Speaker 1: strong swing that we've always seen with him, right, the
Speaker 1: bat speed off the charts. It looks there. Now when
Speaker 1: he comes back, I'm not going to be putting a
Speaker 1: ton of expectations on him, right, Yeah, it's good to
Speaker 1: see what he's doing in Double A major league pitching. Though, Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be expecting this guy to be
Speaker 1: hitting you know, four or five hundred when he comes back.
Speaker 1: It would be great. I hope he does. I'd be awesome,
Speaker 1: But realistically, we have to make sure that we give
Speaker 1: him that time, give him some time to get himself
Speaker 1: into a groove. Remember before he went down, he looked
Speaker 1: like he was getting into a bit of a groove
Speaker 1: and then unfortunately the injury happened. So hopefully everything comes
Speaker 1: together for him. But yeah, we'll see how he does.
Speaker 1: We'll see how he does. Trevor Story, there were some
Speaker 1: talks of him maybe coming back for this series, but
Speaker 1: obviously he wasn't here, so I really don't think they
Speaker 1: need to rush him back, you know. I mean, they're
Speaker 1: obviously getting the job done at short defensively hasn't been
Speaker 1: amazing the last couple of years, but he would be
Speaker 1: a huge upgrade of her Monasterio there defensively, so but regardless,
Speaker 1: they're getting the job done. So story I imagine, I
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe they give him another week down there,
Speaker 1: or maybe next weekend. Possibly maybe one more series after
Speaker 1: the Giants. Now, looking at the schedule, you got Miami
Speaker 1: Monday through Wednesday. Could he be back for the Yankee
Speaker 1: series in New York? I wonder, because you've got the
Speaker 1: day off on Thursday, so maybe they have him travel
Speaker 1: with the team at that point. Also, I have not
Speaker 1: heard back from the Marlins about credentials for this series
Speaker 1: coming up. Still wait and see. I've put in for
Speaker 1: the credentials, I have no idea of I'm going to
Speaker 1: get approved for them. Hopefully I do. That'd be really
Speaker 1: good to go to a series. I'd love to try
Speaker 1: and get a couple of interviews with the players. We'll see,
Speaker 1: we'll see, But stay tuned because that also because I
Speaker 1: end up going to the Marlin series here. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what's gonna happen with the post game. I would
Speaker 1: imagine I'll still figure out a way to do it
Speaker 1: while I'm there. We'll see though, But yeah, stay tuned
Speaker 1: on that. I'll let you all know. Usually you hear
Speaker 1: back within forty eight hours, so hopefully we hear something tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Oh we've got a super chat. What have we got here?
Speaker 1: What do we got? What is going on? Why again?
Speaker 1: Technology is not helping us? Ladies and genre now surprised
Speaker 1: by the booze for Devers. The Femway crowds are nuts.
Speaker 1: They bow Wilson if he doesn't sprint a ground her
Speaker 1: and the whole ballpark goes tarps off. The crowd has
Speaker 1: been really interesting this year with Wilson. How many times
Speaker 1: have we talked about this? He's had injuries, like banged up,
Speaker 1: and he's still playing. Yeah, he missed a couple of
Speaker 1: games there, right, but the guy's still in the lineup.
Speaker 1: You were obviously better with Wilson. He's a hard nosed player.
Speaker 1: He's always been a gritty, hard working player. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I never took it as laziness. I never took it
Speaker 1: as him taking a playoff or anything like that. I
Speaker 1: took that at yeah, you know, this guy's feeling a
Speaker 1: little sore, the joints are feeling a little achy. Stuff
Speaker 1: isn't feeling quite right. I never once thought Wilson when he,
Speaker 1: you know, wasn't giving his all on a couple of
Speaker 1: the grounders, I never once took that as laziness in
Speaker 1: the slightest right. And he's talked about it, he said,
Speaker 1: he's you know, he has talk with Jag Tracy and
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and the medical staff saying, hey, if
Speaker 1: there's a play where, yeah, it's gonna be an obvious
Speaker 1: out ease it off there. I never once thought anything
Speaker 1: bad whatsoever with that. But you know, hey, people in
Speaker 1: the crowd, they have the right. You know, they paid
Speaker 1: the money, they paid for the tickets. They can react
Speaker 1: however they want to. Now, I guess when it came
Speaker 1: to the other day against the Diamondbacks, there was a
Speaker 1: there was a woman that was right there. She went
Speaker 1: on Wei this morning. I don't remember her name. I
Speaker 1: think she also posted this on Twitter. I can't remember
Speaker 1: her neighbor handle, but uh, she said there was a
Speaker 1: guy that was saying stuff to Whitlock. I guess he
Speaker 1: was frustrated over the pitching. I think Miran maybe that
Speaker 1: was it. So I think he was frustrated and he
Speaker 1: was saying stuff to the to Garrett Whitlock, because Whitlock's
Speaker 1: on the I L and you know you had you know,
Speaker 1: Moran's having the picture in that spot. That's not Whitlock's fault, obviously,
Speaker 1: but I think a guy was saying stuff to Whitlock
Speaker 1: and then that got everyone going, and Wilson said some
Speaker 1: stuff to him, and I don't know, it is what
Speaker 1: it is, It is what it is. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: be the one that booze at Wilson. I would rather
Speaker 1: be like, hey, good, good, keep yourself healthy because what
Speaker 1: you saw here tonight a majestic forms your fifty foot
Speaker 1: home run? Uh yeah, I want those in the postseason.
Speaker 1: I want you healthy in the postseason. So do what
Speaker 1: you gotta do to stay healthy. Lousy truth, Robbie. Can
Speaker 1: you replace o b when he retires?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I think that has to go to Mike Monaco or Monico.
Speaker 1: I always go blanks. A Monaco Monico I can never remember,
Speaker 1: but that guy has to take over for Dave of O'Brien.
Speaker 1: It would be a dream come true to call a
Speaker 1: Red Sox game one day, But I am perfectly fine
Speaker 1: if that never happens, because that guy is really good,
Speaker 1: and I hope he eventually ends up being the full
Speaker 1: time guy because he is excellent at what he does.
Speaker 1: He has a great voice, he talks about the game well,
Speaker 1: he talks about the stories well, he's good with conversation
Speaker 1: during the game. I think he's fantastic at what he does.
Speaker 1: He's been a pleasure to listen to when he has
Speaker 1: called some games, So he gets my vote. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe maybe one day we'll we'll we could maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe sit in the booth for an
Speaker 1: inning and that that would be a dream come true.
Speaker 1: I would love that. But but at Sausage, I do
Speaker 1: like Will Fleming. Uh Monaco for me though I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's it's uh. I like Fleming
Speaker 1: on the radio, He's been great there. It's it's something
Speaker 1: I don't know. On on the nests and broadcast, I've
Speaker 1: really enjoyed Monaco. Maybe maybe him and Fleming possibly at
Speaker 1: one point, I don't know, maybe you could do something
Speaker 1: there because I like Flemming too a lot. Lou has
Speaker 1: been great this year. Uh I see people getting on
Speaker 1: too like, oh Lou. I don't know, not a fan.
Speaker 1: I think Lou's great. I think I think middle Brooks
Speaker 1: is great. I think they've done a great job in
Speaker 1: the booth this year. I think it's been solid. Do
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, Orsilo and remy level. No,
Speaker 1: nothing will ever top that, in my opinion. I think
Speaker 1: those are two of the best to ever do it.
Speaker 1: That combination was amazing and uh yeah, I don't think
Speaker 1: you'll ever beat that. But I do think the broadcast booth,
Speaker 1: both with the nests and broadcast on Weei, I think
Speaker 1: it's been really good all the way around, very solid,
Speaker 1: very solid. But everybody but everybody, I'm gonna wrap it
Speaker 1: up right there. I'm gonna wrap it up right there.
Speaker 1: Good to see that the camera is working a little
Speaker 1: better today. Unfortunately, a couple of other technical difficulties, but
Speaker 1: we got through it. We got through it. We'll be
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen. Let me actually see
Speaker 1: the game time for tomorrow. Is it an earlier game tomorrow?
Speaker 1: What do we got? Nope, it is seven to fifteen
Speaker 1: Eastern times, So we'll be back here right around the
Speaker 1: same time tomorrow. But ladies and gentlemen, thank you for
Speaker 1: coming out here tonight, Thanking all the members for coming
Speaker 1: on out, thank you to all the familiar faces, going
Speaker 1: joy your Saturday tomorrow and we'll see you tomorrow. Night
