1 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: How we doing, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to massa territory 2 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: brought to you by the Foul Territory Network. Was that 3 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: the win of the season so far? You know? Was it, 4 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: you know, an a team runout burst? No? Was it 5 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: a come from behind win? Well a little bit, but 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: not a dramatic one. But it was the energy that 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: this game had, and we had some fireworks in the 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: early going, Alex korra Walker, Bueller getting ejected. I'm gonna 9 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: give you my thoughts on that in this episode tonight. 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: But in the end, the Red Sox win it to 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: nothing behind a very strong performance from the bullpen as 12 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: well as a couple of home runs from Raffi Devers 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: and the NARV dog, Carlos Nervaas. And I'm telling you, 14 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 1: something feels good in the air after this win, and 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: it's possible I think the Red Sox might have found 16 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: their identity. We'll talk about that a little bit, but 17 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: before you, if you would go any further, we do 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: have a couple of words from our sponsors tonight. 19 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: I just want to say before Arena Club, if you 20 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: were trying to very actively buy sell trade, it was 21 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: very complicated and used a lot of mail that was unnecessary. 22 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: I don't know I even know how to do it, 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: but I'm glad we have Arena Club now because it's 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: a one stop shop for everything card related. 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 2: It is and right now you can get twenty percent 26 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: off your first slab pack or your first card purchase 27 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 2: by going to Arena club dot com.

A very 50 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: eventful game tonight? And like I said, could this be 51 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: the win of the season? Could this be the win 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: that propels the Red Sox into where they've as you know, 53 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: coming into the year, where we've expected them to be, 54 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: And you know, could this be an identity building win? 55 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: I think it could be. You know, I've watched a 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: lot of Red Sox games over the U years. There 57 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: was something about this one tonight and there was one 58 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: moment where I really hope the Red Sox hang on 59 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: to that for the entire season. Now, let's get into 60 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: it here. Alex Korra Walker Buehler ejected in the early going. 61 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: But let's talk about Walker Buller. He got off to 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: a great start coming back from a shoulder issue. He 63 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,839 Speaker 1: was out for a few weeks, but things were looking 64 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: very good with Walker Bueller early on. The villa was 65 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: up right around a mile Prouur higher than his season average. 66 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: So you know, arm was looking fresh. He was getting 67 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: a lot of whiffs twenty swings overall on Buehler. Tonight's 68 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: seven whiffs out of the twenty. He was looking great. 69 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: And he had a couple of strikeouts to Wan Soto, 70 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: pined A Lonzo in the first inning, then Brandon Emo 71 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez down by the k and the second inning 72 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: you're thinking, all right, thank goodness, Walker Buehler is back 73 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: in this rotation. They've had a lot of struggles with 74 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: the starting pitching over the last couple of weeks minus 75 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet. But then the third inning, and you know, 76 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: with the way this season has gone, so after this 77 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: happened here in the third inning, I'm thinking, oh, man, 78 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: here we go. Is this gonna be, you know, another 79 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: one of these games? Right? You know, Actually you go 80 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: back to the offense. There was a couple of moments 81 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: in the early part of the game. Well we'll get 82 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: to the home runs here in a little bit. But 83 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: first inning you had a couple of walks, then a 84 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: couple of strikeouts to Willi or brave you, Christian Campbell. 85 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: Second inning, you got a couple of runners on Hamilton 86 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: had the sack bunt, but you know, Carlos Narvas with 87 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: the line out so Guard he tries to tag up 88 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: and get home, and a good throw from Brandon Nemo. 89 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: I didn't agree necessarily with so Guard trying to score there. Again, 90 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: I could always appreciate the aggressiveness, but I don't know, 91 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: I guess felt like he didn't get a good jump. 92 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: To me, the ball was hit a bit too hard, 93 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: a bit too hard for my liking to try and 94 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: run home, and he ended up getting thrown out. So 95 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: it is what it is. And I was thinking at 96 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: that point, you know, is this just another one of 97 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: these nights right where you have opportunities and you blow them. 98 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: But then we had some fireworks in the third inning, 99 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: so let's break this down. Now. Lindor he got hit 100 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: by a pitch. It looked like Bueller got a little 101 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: grumpy with that one, you know, thinking Lindor didn't really 102 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: try to make an effort to get out of the 103 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: way At first. I wasn't even sure if it hit him, 104 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: But in the end he takes his base. Then Juan 105 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: Soto comes up a cutter second pitch of the ab, 106 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: a cutter inside corner right in that quadrant. Clearly a strike. 107 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: But on that pitch Carlo Sternvas, he threw a second 108 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: to try and get Lindor who was trying to steal, 109 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: and in the process, this is where things started to 110 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: go down. So it was clearly a strike. I mean, 111 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: there's no question about it. Even the umpire Estherbrook, he 112 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: will definitely look back at that and be like, oh, yep, 113 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: I miss that one. But I think where he might 114 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: have gotten a bit tied up on it was Narvas, 115 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: you know, trying to throw Lindor out, so maybe his 116 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: eyes kind of tricked him a little bit there and 117 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: he called it a ball, you know, So that's kind 118 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: of where I was thinking of that. But still clearly 119 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: a strike. You got to get that call. And Bueller, 120 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: during the you know, the whole process of Nevaias throwing 121 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: a second, Buller asked if that was a strike, and 122 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: then Esterbrook told him, nope, that was a ball, and 123 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: he held up the two oh count, and Bueller, he 124 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: started talking to him, you know, not sure exactly what 125 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: the words were, but Bueller, you could catch it on 126 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: the replay. He was saying it was right down the middle. 127 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: Couldn't hear it. He couldn't really tell everything he was saying. 128 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: But uh, then Esterbrook right after this, he got pretty 129 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: aggressive right off the bat. I don't know if he 130 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: was just trying to set the tone or you know, 131 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: just trying to say like, hey, I'm the man here, 132 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: I'm the umpire, you know, I'm calling the shots here. 133 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: But it was kind of the way he went about it. 134 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: He took off the mask, you know, he started approaching Bueller, 135 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: and Bueller started walking towards him, and that's where Esterbrook 136 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: was like, all right, you need to stop walking towards me, 137 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: and he wasn't stopping, and Broke was like, all right, 138 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: you're out of here. And then Buehller. I think he 139 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: had a he had a couple of couple of pretty 140 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: words for Esterbrook at that point. Uh, this is is 141 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: a family friendly show, so we will not speak of 142 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: those words. But I don't know. That just got out 143 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: of hand very quickly, and I think Esterbrook didn't handle 144 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: this very well personally. I get it. You wanna, you know, 145 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: you want to set the tone. You're the guy, you know, 146 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: calling the you know, calling the shots behind home plate. 147 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: So I understand. I guess a little bit from the 148 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: umpire's point of view, but there's a different way to 149 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: go about it, and I don't think he handled it 150 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: the right way. But I'll play a little devil's advocate here. Again, 151 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: I am mostly leaning, you know, towards this was on 152 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: the umpire here. However, with the way the starting pitching 153 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: has been as of late, the bullpen getting taxed last night, 154 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: I would like Walker Buehler, who listen. I've always been 155 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: a fan of Walker Buller. The guy's a bulldog, you know, 156 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: he's a competitor on the mound. He puts his emotions 157 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: on his sleeve. I would like for Bueller. I understand 158 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: that's probably so frustrating. I imagine putting myself in his shoes. 159 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: I'd be pretty cheesed off too, But I would like 160 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: for Bueller to try and keep those emotions in check 161 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, right you're the guy, 162 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: you know, to take the ball and try and you know, 163 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: go deep into the game, especially with the bullpen going 164 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: deep last night, doing a lot of work last night. 165 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: But again, that's not a knock at Bueller. I get it. 166 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: It's you know, when it's early in the game, you know, 167 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: could you have maybe you know, just bit your lip 168 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: at it, bit your tongue at it, and just be like, 169 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: all right, all right, oh okay, terrible call. But still 170 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: though I'm looking mostly at the umpires the way he 171 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: handled it. He was the one that was aggressive from 172 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: the get go, and he was kind of the one 173 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: that was starting all of this, right, So that's where 174 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm leaning mostly towards him. You know, again, I don't 175 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: even mean to sound like I'm criticizing Bueller here, That's 176 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: not really what I'm doing. But it's more so you're 177 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: the guy that's got to go deep into these games, right, 178 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: So if you somehow some way can try to find 179 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: your you know, keep your emotions in check, that's gonna 180 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: be great. But I can understand completely with how frustrated 181 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: he got it. And like I said, I'd be pretty 182 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: cheesed off too if you missed a call like that, 183 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: which was clearly as a blatantly miscall, but more so 184 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: with BUELLERA I'm just saying I would like for him to, 185 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, maybe channel that energy a little bit differently, right, 186 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: instead of getting you know, getting cheesed off back at 187 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: the ump right kind of channel that and let's take 188 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: it out on the Mets lineup, right, But you can 189 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: look at it as a blessing in disguise. You know, 190 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: he just came back from a shoulder thing, right, so 191 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: it was almost like another you know, you could say, 192 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: a little short rehab appearance for Walker Buehler. Maybe you 193 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: could look at it that way, right, But good signs 194 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: from Bueler tonight' stuff was looking good. Vila was looking good. Again, 195 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: this is mostly on Esterbrook. I'm not trying. I'm not 196 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: trying to put any of this on Bueller. It's in 197 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: the end the umpire needs to do a better job. 198 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: But in the process, Alex Cora got thrown out. Right. 199 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: Of course, Alex Korra is gonna be frustrated at this right, 200 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: he's losing his starting picture. Absolutely, you should be frustrated. 201 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're looking for someone that's really gonna 202 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: get ticked off. Yeah, Cora absolutely should be as well. Again, 203 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: I think it was just a bad approach from the umpire. 204 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: The starting pitching has been a mess for the Red Sox. 205 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: You just lost your starter and you're looking at it 206 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: from Bueller's point of view, right where this guy's coming 207 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: back from injury and you're trying to get him back 208 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: into a routine as well. So there's a lot of 209 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: frustrations with all of that. And then now you're thinking, 210 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: the Bullpen's gonna have to work hard again tonight, right, 211 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: they just worked hard last night. So yeah, from Cora's 212 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: point of view, absolutely you're gonna be pretty irate at 213 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: all of this. But it did create a moment. It 214 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: created quite the moment here, and I am so happy 215 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: that we have this. Look at this beautiful picture. If 216 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: you are watching on YouTube, if you're not, if you're 217 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: listening in podcast format, you won't be able to see. 218 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: But Tanner, howck, I think we have found our new 219 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: symbol for the twenty twenty five Red Sox. So Alex Cora, 220 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: in the process of getting ejected, getting frustrated, he ended 221 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: up ripping the cover off of the bullpen phone and well, 222 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: Tanner how after a home run from Raffie Devers later on, 223 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: he went and grabbed it and he held it up 224 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: like a symbol. And I think we have found our 225 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: new symbol for the Red Sox this year. Everybody. I 226 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: am very happy we have this picture. It's hilarious to me. 227 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: The Red Sox need to bring this with them everywhere 228 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: they go. Listen, the people at Fenway Park, you know, 229 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: people that are working for the Red Sox. Listen, go 230 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: get yourself a new cover. Do what you gotta do 231 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 1: to let the Red Sox bring this with them everywhere 232 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: they go. That is the new symbol for the Red 233 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: Sox this year. At least I hope it is. It 234 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: should be. It's amazing. I love it. Good on Tanner, 235 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: how for grabbing this thing. I never even would have 236 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: thought of holding something up like that, but it ended 237 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: up all just working out. Right. We'll talk about we'll 238 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: talk about the whole identity thing, right, finding their mojo 239 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: in just a little bit. But let's get to the bullpen. 240 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: Bullpen was fantastic, right, picking up Walker Bueller and this 241 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: really tonight obviously, you know, you didn't have a whole 242 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: lot of offense, but a couple of big shots from 243 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: Nevaias and Raffi. But this was a complete team win 244 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: against a very good Mets team that Yeah, sure they've 245 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: been struggling as of late, but they got some good 246 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: players on this team man and Clay Holmes, this guy's 247 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: been very good this year. Right, They're able to get 248 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: the single last night. Clay Holmes. He's been very effective 249 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: as a starter since transitioning from being a reliever, so 250 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: give him a lot of credit. But you know, the 251 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: Red Sox they had their work cutout for him. But 252 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: they battled against Clay Holmes here tonight. But the bullpen 253 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: they matched him as good as you could get. Right, 254 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: Like I said, Dueller, he was looking pretty solid, but 255 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: coming in after him, Bernardino one and two thirds, one hit, 256 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: twenty three pitches, Whitlock one hit, did give up or sorry, 257 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: one inning, two hits, got a K along the way. 258 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Nevas did help him out. He was able to throw 259 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: out Lindor at one point. Wilson came in after him. Right, 260 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: So that's back to back knights, two thirds, two k's, 261 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 1: Weissert two thirds of an inning, Slayton one and two thirds, 262 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: Chapman with his eighth save. A tremendous effort from the 263 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: bullpen tonight, again against a Mets team that they got 264 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: a lot of good bats. Right. You know, A lot 265 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: of talk's been on want Soto lately. He's been slumping. 266 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: He's not looking like his usual self, especially the New 267 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: York Yankee version of Juan Soto from last year, but 268 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: still Soto Soto. At the end of the day, you 269 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of good bats and the bullpen again 270 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: a tremendous job from them tonight, but then picking up 271 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: the slack offensively. And like I said at the beginning 272 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: of the game, I'm thinking to myself, man, is this 273 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: going to be one of those nights where you get 274 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: opportunities and you're not able to cash in. But along 275 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: the way you had a couple of you know, I 276 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: was gonna say, a couple of big time bats, right, 277 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: Raffi is the more notable bat, of course, but Carlostern 278 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: Bias Man, oh man, this guy coming into the year. 279 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Red Sox roster. I'm thinking, all right, 280 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: who could be the guy that steps up for the 281 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: Red Sox this year? You know, who could be a 282 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: guy that's under the radar right now that could end 283 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: up contributing in a big way. Right Connor Wong. There 284 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: was a bit of a question mark with him, But 285 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: then I saw, you know, how quickly the Red Sox 286 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: went out there and got her this offseason, and that 287 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: kind of said something to me that made me think, Okay, 288 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: the Red Sox. Maybe they see something here with Carlos Nervas. 289 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: And when you you know, looked at the scatting report 290 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: with him, you took a look at the numbers and 291 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: the miners with him coming up in the Yankee system, 292 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: pretty solid, And I just felt like no one was 293 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: really talking about him all that much. I felt like 294 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: all the attention was more so on Connor Wong. But 295 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, this is a guy that you know, he 296 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: does some pretty good things with the bat. He's pretty 297 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: solid defensively. Aaron Boone had a lot of good words 298 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: for Carlos Nirvias talking about him last year, and I'm thinking, man, 299 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: this could be a guy that's an under the radar, 300 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: you know, unsung hero almost for the Red Sox, and 301 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: he stepped up. He's been stepping up in a great 302 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: way this year and coming through the big home run 303 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: to get the Red Sox on track again. Good defense 304 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: from him tonight. Gotta love it. Carlos zarvas I tweeted 305 00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: out during the game, where would this team be without Nervias? Really? 306 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: Where would they be? He has been such a breath 307 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: of fresh air. You know, we're all thinking at one 308 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: point Kyle's heal is gonna be the future catcher. And 309 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: obviously they make the deal for Garrick Crochet and that 310 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: was that. But uh hey, Carlos devias Man, he's been 311 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: very good. M Raffi continuing with the hot bat, another 312 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: home run and that was all the offense the Red 313 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: Sox needed. Like I said, bullpen came in and shut 314 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: things down. Now, let's talk about the identity of the 315 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: Red Sox. You know, we've been talking about this all year. 316 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: It feels like every time the Red Sox take a 317 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: step forward, they take a couple of steps back. You 318 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: can't find that consistency. They've been consistently inconsistent. It feels 319 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: like they've just been missing something this year. Something, you know, 320 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: something with the mojo right, you're waiting for more energy, 321 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, missed opportunities along the way right. Sometimes you're 322 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: being a little too aggressive on the base pass. Sometimes 323 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: you're not being as a great if you're making errors 324 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: in the field. Just feels like a team where their 325 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: heads just aren't fully in it. We know the talent 326 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: this team has, but a team that just hasn't fully 327 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: seemed like they're dialed in all year, not saying they're 328 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: like They're not trying or anything, but just something hasn't 329 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: been clicking. And the last couple of days here something 330 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: has been clicking with this Red Sox team. And then 331 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you saw this with Walker Buehller 332 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: Coorra tonight showing some fire, showing some passion, showing some emotion, 333 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: and you know what, it seemed like the team and 334 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: even the fans all over really started rallying around this. 335 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: And you know, I also say this about Alex Cora. 336 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: You know Alex Cora, I don't know he posted this 337 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: on Instagram. I don't know if it was on his 338 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: story or if it was a comment on Instagram, but 339 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: basically saying he was so happy to go to his 340 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: daughter's graduation yesterday. You know, you had a couple couple 341 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: of certain people out there in the Boston media, the 342 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: more on the radio side of things, where you know, 343 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: they're questioning Alex core like, oh it is, how dedicated 344 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: is he to this team? You know, is there a 345 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: disconnect with Cora and the Red Sox. He went to 346 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: his daughter's graduation. You know, at ten am, he could 347 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: have made it back for the game. I already explained 348 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: my piece on that last night. I didn't see anything 349 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: wrong with it. It's like whatever, man, you know, life is life. 350 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: Family comes first and uh so. But unfortunately Korra, he 351 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: had to see a lot of negative comments about that, 352 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: Like I said, from the radio people, you got the 353 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: trolls on Twitter, you know, giving him a hard time. 354 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: So I'm sure he was seeing some of that. So 355 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 1: maybe there was a little bit of frustration with that. 356 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: Probably not honestly, but you know, it's something he's still 357 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: he probably read it and he heard it, and you know, 358 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: and so I wasn't even surprised for him to, you know, 359 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: on top of losing your starter the bullpen, having to 360 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: get taxed again. Yeah, Cora was you know, running a little. 361 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: You know, the emotion was, we're a little high for 362 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: Core tonight. But I think the Red Sox they really 363 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: rallied around it, right, and then Bueller coming back. This 364 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: is a competitor. That's why I love the signing this 365 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: past offseason of Walker Bueller. You know, sure he had 366 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: his issues last year coming back from Tommy John with 367 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, but he sent he found himself in the postseason. 368 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: But this is a guy that goes out there and 369 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: he just go. He's a bulldog out there. Right. It's 370 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: funny because when I interviewed Walker Buehler in Tampa, I 371 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: almost felt like he seemed more introverted, right, He just 372 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: seemed a bit more reserved, But then you see him 373 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: like when he gets on the field, it's a completely 374 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: different guy in a way. I'm sort of like that too, right. 375 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: You know, I know I can talk forever when I'm 376 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: on camera, but if you go find me at the 377 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: gym or something like that, I'm actually pretty quiet, right. 378 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: I kind of keep to myself like I'll always talk 379 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: with anyone, but I can relate to that where you know, 380 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: people will seem to be a bit more reserved, and 381 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: then when it comes to competing and you know, putting 382 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: on a performance, you almost you kind of get yourself 383 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: going a little bit. That's what I see out of 384 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 1: Walker Bueller. I love that competitive side of him. Man, 385 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: he brings it out. He's ready to just go out 386 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: there and just give it what you give everything he's got. 387 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: I love that. So I felt like the Red Sox 388 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: really just rallied around that in a great moment. You know, 389 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: Tanner Hawck gotta love it, man, Thank you Tanner Hawck 390 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: for finding the new symbol of the twenty twenty five 391 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: Red Sox. Again, Red Sox people in the I don't 392 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: know who's in charge of all the field stuff, but 393 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: please keep this bullpen cover with the team all year. 394 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: We need it all year. I'm seeing the postgame show here, 395 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: they're actually talking about the or the nesson postgame show. 396 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: They're talking like we're on nesson now too. Isn't that 397 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? But they're talking about it now too. 398 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: So I wonder if you're going to start to see 399 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: more of this. The sign guy on Twitter, go follow this. 400 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: The sock sign guy. You probably already know who he is. 401 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 1: He makes all these great signs. But I told him, 402 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: hey man, you got to go make a sign of this. 403 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: That's amazing. So expect at Fenway Park to see a 404 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: sign in the crowd at some point. But you gotta 405 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: love it, man, you gotta love it. I think the 406 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,479 Speaker 1: Red Sox might have found something. Seems like they found 407 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of energy here, something to build on, 408 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: something to rally around. I think that's something the Red 409 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: Sox have been lacking this year. Let's see what they do. 410 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: They've already won the series. Can they pull off the sweep? 411 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: That would be great if you can somehow Someway pull 412 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: off a sweep against a good Mets team after getting 413 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: swept by the Tigers and losing two out of three 414 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: to the Braves. But let's get to the game three preview. 415 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: We do have a third game, ladies and gentlemen, and hey, listen, 416 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: they're in a good spot here for a sweep. You 417 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: got your ace on the mound and Garrett Crochet, you 418 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: are set up very nicely here again, though, you are 419 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: gonna have your work cut out for you. Tyler McGill. 420 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: Remember I also want to point this out, it's not 421 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: Tyler McGill, it's Tylore McGill there at You actually do 422 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: have to pronounce that the O r at the end, right, 423 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: Tyler McGill. He's been very solid this year. He already 424 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: under four, but he's having the best year of his career. 425 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: The stuff is looking great, Velo's looking great. He's not 426 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: gonna be an easy match up, but you're matching up 427 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: with Garrett Crochet here. Very excited for this, very excited 428 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: for this game. Time is at six forty five Eastern 429 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: time tomorrow. Now when it comes to the experience against McGill, 430 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: the most that you have seen is Alex Bregman. He's 431 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: had five AB's against him, he's had success. Jared Durant's 432 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 1: had a couple of AB's, he's got to hit against him, 433 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: So guards had an ab you know, there's not really 434 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 1: a whole lot going on with him. You know, same 435 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: thing for Croche as well, not really a whole lot there. 436 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting how they go about this. Now. Croche, 437 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: he is a guy that's leaned mostly on the four 438 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: seam fast The Mets have been a very good fastball 439 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: hitting team. I know, obviously there hasn't really been a 440 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: whole lot of offense with the Mets in the first 441 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: couple of games. So let's see if they really go 442 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: after the fastball tomorrow with Crochet, if they try to 443 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: be aggressive on him early, especially a Mets team that 444 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: has been slumping. I wonder if they really try to 445 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: come firing out of the gates against Crochet in the 446 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: early going. That's what I'm going to be looking for 447 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: personally and for the Red Sox. You know what, just 448 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: keep putting together the quality at bats. No, you know, 449 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: you're not putting ten plus runs on the board every 450 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: single game. Right, You've had to squeeze a couple of 451 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 1: runs across the board the last couple of games here, 452 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: and they've been tight. But for the Red Sox, just 453 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: keep up the quality, abs and let's see what happens here, 454 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: all right, Don't be afraid to put the ball in play, 455 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: don't be afraid to work those counts. And hey, and 456 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: like I said last night talking about this game for tonight, 457 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: Clay Holmes, the one thing I said, look out, you 458 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: know Holmes, a guy that's been getting a lot of 459 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: ground balls in his career, said last night. For the 460 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: Red Sox, I think one key to try and get 461 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: to Holmes is try and wait for a sinker to 462 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: be left up in the zone. And that's what near 463 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: Bias did. All right, found a mistake and he took 464 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: care of business, right Raffi. You know, the slider to 465 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: Raffi tonight wasn't necessarily a bad pitch, I would say, 466 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: but you know, it was a little two in the 467 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: zone for Raffi at that point. You hung it just 468 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: a slight bit. But that's what you got to do 469 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: against good pictures. Man, You really gotta find every chance 470 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: you get. And those guys did a great job with 471 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: that tonight, and let's see if they can do the 472 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: same thing with McGill tomorrow. So I'm excited for it. 473 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: The Red Sox, hey, you know, it's been an up 474 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: and down year, but it'd be very nice to pull 475 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: off a sweep going into the next series. So we 476 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: do have a couple more minutes here. Let's get to 477 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: the chat here. Let's see what all of you are saying. 478 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: Red Sox Diehard Crochet tomorrow. Oh he's fired up about that, 479 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: absolutely right. Whenever Crochet is on the mound, man, I 480 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: love that. Every fifth day, you got your ace. Oh 481 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: goodness gracious, but uh got your ace on the mound. 482 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 1: I'm always excited for a Garrett Crochet start. Man. Also, 483 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: I did get to the New City Connect hat. I 484 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: did get the jersey. Unfortunately it's a little small. I 485 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: gotta send it back. I gotta get a next size up. 486 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: Sometimes the jersey's run a little too big when and 487 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: I went with the usual size that I get and 488 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: unfortunately it was a little too small, so I got 489 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: to go to the next size.
