1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: At the game one sixty two day ladies and gentlemen,

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: and they ended on a good note a win today.

3
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: How about Jose de Leone? Man, oh man, you might

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: be asking, who the heck is Jose de Leon. Well,

5
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: this guy came came up. He was I was just

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: listening to the postgame show. He was basically sitting on

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: his couch at home. They gave him a phone call

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: and they said, hey, you got about a hungred pictures

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: in you and he said, yeah, I got about one twenty.

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: And this guy got to Fenway Park asap and ended

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: up picturing a massive game here today. You love stories

12
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: like that. This guy, Jose de Leone, he hasn't pictured

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: in a major league since twenty twenty three. He had

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: a second Tommy John I believe it was in twenty

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: twenty three, missed all of last year. He was in

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the minor leagues. This year, had an ERA close to

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: a seven, and they gave him a call. You know,

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, you might be wondering, oh, why didn't they,

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, call up any of the higher ranked guys,

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, like Luis Parles for example. Well, I was

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: listening to Kora after the game and they had you know,

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: guys were on pitch counts basically, but with him, he

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: didn't really have a limit, so you know, not like

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: he didn't have a low limit, right, he could have

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: gone longer than the other guys. So that's why he

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: ended up getting the call. It was a bit random

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: at the time, but what a beauty from him today.

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: Six and two thirds, eight hits, three earned eight k's,

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: gave up the three earn Homer Tobias there. But that's

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: a heck of a performance and huge for giving the

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: bullpen a much needed rest. These guys have been working

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: their butts off. You got tomorrow off, and it looks

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: like we're going to Yankee Stadium, Ladies and gentlemen. The

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: Blue Jays are kicking the crap out of the Rays.

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Alejandro Kirk having himself quite a day. I believe Springer

36
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: went deep here today. The Blue Jays are just going

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: to town against Tampa. Looks like they're gonna be the

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: Ale East champs. The Yankees will be the fourth seed

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: in the American League. So it looks like we got

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: a trip over to Yankee Stadium. We know how this,

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: we know how this is. You know, I mean many

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: years obviously it's the greatest rivalry in sports. Go back.

43
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: You know, my first experience of Red Sox Yankees was

44
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: late nineties, you know, in ninety eight, ninety nine, and

45
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: obviously three four. That was kind of right around the

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: time where I was already pretty much deep into it.

47
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: It was like a religion to me at that point.

48
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 1: So I got to taste O three oh four obviously amazing.

49
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: And then most recently, you know, you had that series

50
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: against the Yankees in the division round in twenty eighteen,

51
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: you had the wild card Wildcard game back in twenty

52
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: twenty one. Obviously we know what the deal here is.

53
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: And in Yankee Stadium, you know what's going to be loud.

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be popping three games to try

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: and get it done. They've done well against the Yankees

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: this year. They won the season series. The Yankees did

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: take the last round at Fenway Park. You didn't have

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony at that point. So let's see what this

59
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox team could do. They absolutely can go into

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. They can get it done. The Yankees have

61
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: been playing great baseball over the past month or so.

62
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: Their pitching has done really well. The bats are looking good,

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: Judge is just red hot. Judge, he's been so good

64
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: that he could possibly beat out a historic season from

65
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Cal Raley. That's how good he's been. And he's been

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: red hot this past month. Raley two. But Judge is

67
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: just an absolute freak. But you got Garrett Crochet on

68
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: the mound for Game one. You're always gonna feel good

69
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: with Crochet on the mound, and he's looked very good

70
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: against the Yankees this year. I'm not gonna dive too

71
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: into the postseason preview. That is gonna be for tomorrow night.

72
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: All things postseason tomorrow, So we're gonna keep it easy.

73
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'll touch on a couple of things for

74
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: today's show, but you know, really for today, I'm just

75
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: gonna touch on the game really quick. I'm not gonna

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: dive too much into the analysis some more. We're gonna

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: look at kind of what's going on with the seedings.

78
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: You know, we'll look at the bracket for a second

79
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: as well. But again tomorrow night, that will be the

80
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: full blown postseason preview. You're gonna want to be here.

81
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: You gotta want to turn on notifications. I'll be live.

82
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking nine to thirty or so, I'm gonna be

83
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: going on another channel for tomorrow, a friend of the channel,

84
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: ball Caps Sports. We're gonna be talking the postseason there.

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: As soon as I'm done there, we'll be live over

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: here on Monster Territory. I'm excited here, I'm very excited.

87
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: What else is there to say? Red Sox Yankees can't

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: get any better than that. And hey, it's not gonna

89
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: be a one game playoff this time. It's gonna be

90
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: three games, all in the Bronx. That's the way it works.

91
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: But who do you got here in the chat? I

92
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: see some of you filing on in. We got Red Sox,

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: die Hard, Wonder, Davy Nick, we got Mike in here, Jennifer, Hello, John,

94
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: How you doing FUNO? How are we doing? Yeah? Wonder Davy,

95
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: I see you in the chat. Lol. Mets has returned.

96
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. I really can't believe it now.

97
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: I did think the Mets were gonna make the postseason

98
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: in my preseason predictions, but I didn't see a deep

99
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: run from them. I did have them making an early

100
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: exit in the postseason, and they went a little earlier

101
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: than I was expecting. But that's unbelievable. That's crazy. Especially

102
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: you go back to this past offseason. We were right

103
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: in the thick of things, so the Wan Soto sweepstakes,

104
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: we couldn't believe it at that time. We're like, what

105
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: we're We're in the running for Juan Soto. Holy cow ah.

106
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: Man wondering how Wan Soto's feeling right now, especially after

107
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: the good season he just had. He was just in

108
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: a World Series last year. He's your star player, he

109
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: just signed the big contract. Well, I think with Soto,

110
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's looking at that payday, He's looking at

111
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: every time he gets a paycheck direct deposited into his account.

112
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: He's he's feeling pretty good. But you got to imagine

113
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: a guy that was just in a World Series last year,

114
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: hit a clutch home run in the ALCS against the

115
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: Guardians to send them to the World Series. That guy

116
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: wants to win man, and I can't imagine how he

117
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: feels about that. Obviously, the entire Mets team, but they

118
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: just ran out of depth. I think in the end,

119
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: I think just that pitching. You know, they were having

120
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: to call up a bunch of guys, Nolan McLean, Joon Natongue,

121
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: Brandon Sprote. They called her at one point you know,

122
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: guys were getting hurt and just having underperformances in the lineup.

123
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: I just think they ran out of depth. You know.

124
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: But you go back to this past offseason with the Mets. Yes,

125
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: they invested a lot of money into Soto, but you

126
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: know one of your bigger signings for the pitching staff

127
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: was play Holmes. You know a guy that was Yes,

128
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: he did pitch well yesterday, but he had some ups

129
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: and downs in the second half, and I think they

130
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: needed to go after more pitching. It is what it is.

131
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: I think in the end, they just ran out of gas.

132
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: They just ran out of depth, and this Reds team

133
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: got hot. And when you got a guy like Terry Francona,

134
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: we all know Terry Francona leading that Reds team. Anytime

135
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: he got Francona at the helm man, anything's possible, right.

136
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: That guy knows how to win. And I think the

137
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Mets they were just in the wrong place at the

138
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: wrong time. Good job for the Reds. You know, they

139
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: had a crazy month. Congrats to the Guardians as well.

140
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: Holy call the Guardians. If they were fifteen and a

141
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: half games back at one point they won the Central

142
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: that's crazy, man, what a crazy final month this has been,

143
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: and it's only gonna get crazier, ladies and gentlemen. I

144
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: feel like I'm just ran at this point. I can

145
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: just keep just spitting off a whole bunch of things

146
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: at the top of my head. But let's get into

00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: I'll just go through it quickly again. Jose de Leone,

156
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: what a great story that is. Got called up here today,

157
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: was sitting on his couch, Like I said, had Tommy

158
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: John back in twenty twenty three, missed all of last year.

159
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: He was not pitching well this year. I think this

160
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: was his first win of the entire year, both in

161
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: the miners and obviously at the major league level. Had

162
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: a six point nine to three ERA for the year,

163
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: and the guy just said, screw it, I'm gonna to

164
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: come up there and I'm just gonna give it my own.

165
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: And you gotta love that, you know, a guy where

166
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: I believe at one point he was higher ranked. He wasn't.

167
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he was a top prospect by any means,

168
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: but I believe he was in the top thirty with

169
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: the Dodgers at one point. I just remember seeing his name,

170
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: and uh, you got a thing from his point of view, like, man,

171
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: you know, what a chance, what an opportunity, you know,

172
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: and hey, good for him, and hopefully moving forward he

173
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: gets more opportunities because obviously it was not a good

174
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: year for him. You gotta love stories like that, you know,

175
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: gotta love that. He pictured great today six and two thirds,

176
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: eight hits, three earned eight strikeouts, gave up the home

177
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: run to Bias, but the offense stepped up enough here today.

178
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: Gotta love what Masa did there to get things going,

179
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: had the home run to start things off. Masa has

180
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: been red hot in the month of September, hitting over

181
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: three point thirty eight hungred over and eight or ops

182
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: over in eight hungred this month. That's what we need, man,

183
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: We need Masa at his best and listen, I'm gonna

184
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: say this short porch Yankee Stadium, lefty bats Masa doesn't

185
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of power. But with Masa right now,

186
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: he's making good contact. Let's see if Masa can take

187
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: advantage of that. I'd love that. And he's red hot

188
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: right now. Man, he has really gotten things turned around.

189
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: It took him around fifty games or so to get

190
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: back into it. You know, it took him some time.

191
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: Remember he came back from shoulder surgery. His rehab was

192
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: just weird in general. The whole process. What you didn't

193
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: even know if he was coming back. We didn't even

194
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: know where he was. We were wondering, he's he sight seeing?

195
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: Is he? Where is he? Where's Masa? And you would

196
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: see these rare sightings of him playing ketch in the outfield.

197
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: We saw the one video where he's playing ketch and

198
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: he was he's making a what's the word I'm looking for.

199
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: I can't think of the word. I'm going blank on

200
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: the ward. He was in pain pretty much when he

201
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: was playing catch, and you're thinking, oh great, he can't

202
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: even play the outfield. You know, we don't have any

203
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: any spots for him. Then the whole raffie trade happened.

204
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: Took him a while to get himself going, but that's

205
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: gonna be the case for pretty much a lot of guys. Man,

206
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: when you miss a lot of time, it's gonna take

207
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: you some time. I mean, look at story, look at

208
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: the great year that he had this year. Look at

209
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: how much time he missed over the last few years

210
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: and he ended up getting himself right and it had

211
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: a great season. So hopefully with Masa, hopefully he's dialed in.

212
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: That's a guy if you're looking for an X factor

213
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: in this round, I'm looking at Masa for this round. Man,

214
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: we'll see. I mean, you do got the lefties. That's

215
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: gonna be tough, right, you got Freed, you got Rodin.

216
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Masa. Hopefully he can step up in

217
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: the fourth inning you're able to score three. Hamilton coming through.

218
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's been a tough year for Hamilton. He's

219
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: had a couple of good moments along the way, but

220
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: there were a lot of down moments to one. The

221
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: big one that pops off the page was in San

222
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: Diego with that whole bunt. You know, he's trying to

223
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: lay down a drag bunt when all he needed to

224
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 1: do was just put the ball in play to you know,

225
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: try and move the runner over and then ended up

226
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: striking out with the bunt and then he got sent

227
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: back down to the miners after that. But he's had

228
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: some good moments along the way despite the bad season overall,

229
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: and he's giving you some good bass running. Just hasn't

230
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: done much with the bat, but coming through there with

231
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: the two run homer that tied it at three, so

232
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: guard Duran back to back doubles that made it four

233
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: to three, and that was all the bullpen needed here

234
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: today along with Jose de Leone, Matt's, Kelly Weisert, they

235
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: finished it off. That was great because obviously I don't

236
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: think they were gonna use Schatman or Whitlock regardless today.

237
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: But just nice that you were able to pretty much

238
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: you were able to not have to go to a

239
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: bullpen game today. Right. Yes, he used a few guys,

240
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: but with d lyone that was good. In the end,

241
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: Red Sox win it eighty nine wins on the year. Again,

242
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: I said this yesterday. Every year the goal is to

243
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: win the World Series, but you also have a goal

244
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: of winning ninety games for next year, you couldn't quite

245
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: do it this year. It's been a chaotic year, but

246
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: in the end, they found a way to get the

247
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: job done. And I'm also gonna say this, I loved

248
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about my favorite moments for this season

249
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: in just a second. We're gonna check out the standings

250
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: and everything going on. But I'm gonna say this, I

251
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: loved at the end of the game here today. It

252
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: was in the ninth inning. I love that you're just

253
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: here in the crowd just chanting let's go Red Sox

254
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: Game one sixty two. You haven't really had that over

255
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: the last you know, four years now, twenty two, twenty

256
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: three or three years. All right, it's been a bummer

257
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: for three years now. Game one sixty two, people were

258
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: pretty much just going, you know, just to have a

259
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: good day here. Obviously you're going to see the final

260
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: game of the year, but you know, you got the

261
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: postseason there, and there was just a different feeling with

262
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: hearing that chant. You know, people are this is what

263
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: happens when you know you put a good product on

264
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: the field. And yes, I understand they've been trying to

265
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: rebuild this farm system for a few years now. I

266
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: think they were waiting for that to finally be ready

267
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: to go to They weren't quite there last year, but

268
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, this year, obviously, with all the prospects that

269
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: came up with all the young talent, they felt like

270
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: this was the right time to go out there and

271
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: make moves. And they did that and it was just

272
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: a different feeling in the air today. It was nice

273
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: and you just hearing that chant I was just so

274
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: different for the final game of the year compared to

275
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: the last few years. You gotta love it. We are

276
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: going to get to the standings the scoreboard here in

277
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: a second. We do have a couple of words from

278
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: our sponsor. I'll be right back.

279
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: Father. You and me grew up in Jersey. We liked

280
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: to collect cards, but the way the process got was ridiculous.

281
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: You open up a pack, there's a bunch of cards

282
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: you don't care about. Then you want to get certain

283
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: ones graded takes forever right, then you want to maybe

284
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: sell one. It's such a to do. Arena club has

285
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: been the solution for us.

286
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 3: Arena club has been a solution for everybody. You go online,

287

Speaker 3: go to arena club and you check out what they have,

288
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,080

00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: the best cards that you've ever seen in your life

290
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: and autograph cards and guess what, if you don't like

291
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 3: the card, easily you could sell it back and make

292
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: a little cash. You never know what to expect. It's

293
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: a cool way of doing it. You're gonna get a

294
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: surprise every time. And if you're in the cards, this

295
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,680

00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: Check it out.

302
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: Alrighty, I gotta turn the volume down on this TV.

303
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: I swear, all of a sudden it gets so loud,

304
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: Like I'll turn the volume down during the show and

305
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: it's like so low. But then there's times where, nessen

306
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: it it gets so loud. I don't know, like I

307
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: don't know anyway, I'm rambling. Let's check out the standings.

308
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: Let's see what's going on here. Things are pretty much

309
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: wrapping up as we speak Toronto. They are still playing

310
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: right now. But they got a massive lead at the moment.

311
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: Let's actually, let's pull up the scores, let's see what's

312
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: going on here. But this is the current bracket as

313
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: of right now. But taking a look, or did Toronto

314
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: go final? Toronto just went final. They win the East

315
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: thirteen to four today, an absolute slaberknocker, as good Old Jr.

316
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: Used to say, thirteen to four final the Yank He's

317
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: ended up pulling out the win. But that didn't matter

318
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: because the Blue Jays have the tie breaker. So the

319
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: blue Jays win the East. The Guardians win the Central,

320
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: so they clinch the three seed. Even with the Tigers

321
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: lost today, they were still in it because the Astros

322
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: were out of it, so the Tigers end up getting in.

323
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 1: That's just crazy, man, the fact that you had a

324
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: fifteen and a half game lead and this is a

325
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: Tigers team I was pretty high on coming into the year.

326
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: That's just bonkers, bonkers to me. Good for Cleveland because

327
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: I thought this was gonna be a down year and

328
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: it was looking like a down year for Cleveland. They

329
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: just figured it out. So you got the Tigers, you

330
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: got the Guardians, you got the Red Sox, you got

331
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: the Yankees. So no matter what on one side of

332
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: the bracket, it's gonna be all al East for the

333
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks of this postseason. Whoever wins between

334
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: the Red Sox and the Yankees here, they're gonna fly

335
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: to Toronto again. We're I'm gonna dive more into this matchup

336
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: for tomorrow's stream, so please stay tuned for that. Taking

337
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: a look here, I believe there's really not muchche else

338
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: to look at here. I mean, we've just talked about

339
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: the Mets, the crazy. The Reds have solidified the sixth seed,

340
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: going to going to La to play the Dodgers. I'll

341
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: tell you what with the Reds right now. Listen, the

342
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: Dodgers they are the better team on paper, but that

343
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: Red's pitching staff. They got some good starting pitching there.

344
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: Let's see. Anyway, but that's crazy. You got the pass

345
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: and the Cubs on the other side of the bracket.

346
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: Whoever wins between the Reds and the Dodgers, the Phillies

347
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: will be waiting, And whoever wins between the Padres and

348
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: the Cubs, the Brewers will be waiting. It's gonna be interesting.

349
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting. Also, I love this World Series logo.

350
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna point this out, big fan of the logo

351
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: gives me like a late nineties kind of a feel.

352
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: When I first looked at it in the corner of

353
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: my eye, I thought I was seeing like a later

354
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: nineties World Series logo, And I really like that this

355
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: year they got more of that script font into it.

356
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: This year they've been kind of going with like this

357
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: very very polished sort of what's the word I'm looking for,

358
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: like a like a minimal polish design for the World

359
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: Series logo over the last couple of years. I do

360
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: like this one as well. And the same thing with

361
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: the postseason logo too. Big fan, big fan of that logo.

362
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: But that's pretty much it. That is it here for

363
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: the bracket. That is done. We now know who's going where.

364
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. I'm excited for it. I got

365
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: to dive into the numbers. I still have to do

366
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: my predictions for my main channel. I'm gonna be honest. Listen,

367
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that to all of you right now.

368
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my honest thoughts. If I feel

369
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: like the Yankees are gonna win that series, I'm gonna

370
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: say the Yankees are gonna win that series. Listen, my job,

371
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: going back to when I started my channel, my main

372
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: channel back in twenty nineteen, was to be completely down

373
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: the middle. I don't care if it's Red Sox Yankees. Obviously,

374
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: the fan in me, Oh yeah, I'm fired up for it.

375
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm revved up for it. But I gotta go down

376
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: the middle. I'm not just gonna pick the Red Sox

377
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: just because I'm a Red Sox fan and we have

378
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: a channel here. No, I'm gonna give you my honest thoughts.

379
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: So I haven't decided. I haven't yet because I think

380
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: the Yankees have a lot of good things going. I

381
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: think there's a really good team there. They got good pitching,

382
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: they've been playing well over this final month. So but

383
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, they can match up. We've seen it

384
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 1: this year, right, We've obviously seen them play the Yankees

385
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: very well. But we also just saw the Yankees play

386
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: them well at Fenway Park not too long ago. So

387
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: it's gonna be close. No matter what ends up happening

388
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: in that series. It's gonna be tough. They're gonna fight

389
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: each other until the very end. It's gonna be fun,

390
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: and you know, you know the national media, they're gonna

391
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: be all over it. Man, They're gonna be seeing a

392
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 1: lot of red Sox Yankee stuff all over I believe

393
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: this is also on ESPN. I believe. Let me let

394
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: me see here, let's go to the schedule. Yes, that'll

395
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: be on ESPN. When is the start time? It says

396
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: TBD here on the website. I could have saw. I

397
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: could have sworn we had already been given the start times.

398
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: Let me see. Let's pull out the Google machine again.

399
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: I thought they had announced it here it is game

400
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Okay, we don't have the exact game one

401
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: of an al wild card series. That's all it says.

402
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: It just says one O eight or six oweight. So yeah, Oscar,

403
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm thinking. Probably six, I would

404
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: imagine for the ratings too. You know, ESPN is gonna

405
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: want the ratings. It's gonna be a better time slot

406
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: to put it at six o'clock. So have they announced

407
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: it Julio and the chat game is at six pm?

408
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: I would think it's gonna be at the later start time.

409
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: It's the you know ESPN would want the ratings. So anyway, Tuesday,

410
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: Tuesday will be fun. Tuesday will be fun. But let's

411
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: get back to it here. I'm gonna go over my

412
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: favorite moments for the Red Sox this year before we

413
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: wrap up today's show. There's a lot of them. There's

414
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: a lot of favorite moments here today that we're gonna

415
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 1: talk about. Let's get to this. You know, you just

416
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: go back to this past offseason, since the beginning of

417
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, not just the season, but I mean,

418
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: look at all the good moments we had. I believe

419
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Crochet was in December of twenty fourth, so technically that

420
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: doesn't count for twenty twenty five, but whatever, that was

421
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: a great moment that trade itself. That was when you said,

422
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: all right, here we go, let's go now, let's get

423
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: on this gravy train, let's start moving here. Right. That

424
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: was a big move. Love that. But he just had

425
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: a lot of good moments this year. My goodness. Just oh,

426
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: you know how many times have we had an ace

427
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: of the staff that you just rally behind right Pagro,

428
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: Chris Sayle Beckett. Crochet just gets added to that list,

429
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: and he had a lot of good moments this year.

430
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: My favorite Crochet moment, I would say, was his first

431
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: career complete game shutout against Tampa. Nine innings, three hits,

432
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: zero earned nine k's great outing and actually when it

433
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: came to games score, that was his best outing on

434
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: the year. That was his highest score on the year.

435
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: There was also the game in Yankee Stadium he had

436
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: twelve strikeouts in or it was eleven strikeouts a Yankee stadium,

437
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: But then he had twelve against the Yankees at Femway.

438
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: He struck out Judge. I believe what was a three times?

439
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: It felt like twenty times, Judge. He did get back

440
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: to him. He had that home run right that cost

441
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: him that the opportunity at that first complete game shutout.

442
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: But Croche just so many good moments this year. I mean,

443
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: how many times did we see Crochet? You know, they

444
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: lost a few games, lost a couple of games, and

445
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: he just put the team on his back. You looked

446
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: at him to be that stopper every fifth day when

447
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: you were going through a bit of a tough stretch,

448
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: and it felt like he responded every single time. There

449
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: was even that one game where he took a comebacker

450
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: off the nose and the guy just stayed in the game.

451
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, goodness, like I believe his nose was bleeding

452
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: after that. I mean, holy cow, how many guys. I

453
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: mean he didn't get fully like hit right in the face,

454
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: thank god, but still he got clipped pretty good. The

455
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: dude's just a competitor man. He's tough, and he stayed

456
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: out there. That was a great moment, Crochet. It was

457
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: just a pleasure to watch him all year. I mean more,

458
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: we got only got a little bit more time here

459
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: on nesson, But I'm gonna go over one more moment

460
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: that I loved. That was that SETI walk off. That

461
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: was the SETI walk off against the Rays against Pete Fairbanks.

462
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: That was their eighth straight win. They ended up winning

463
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: ten straight. But how electric was that? That was the

464
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: moment to me this year where you fully felt after

465
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: the Rafting trade, you felt like this team was for real.

466
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: You felt like this team was back. You felt like

467
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: there was that energy again. There was that feeling again

468
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: in the air where things were clicking. You had a

469
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: good team on the field and things were just rolling

470
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: and you just felt so good about your chances at

471
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: that point. And SETI time and time again this year

472
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: just stepped up in so many ways. That walk off

473
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: was electric. He had that he was feeling chilly. That

474
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: was his little celebration. You had to walk off in

475
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: the greens. Gotta love it. But everybody on Nesson, I'm

476
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: gonna wrap it up right there. If you want to

477

00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get back to the favorite moments for this season. Now,

508
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: this is kind of a this is a weird one.

509
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: It's not. It's not the trade that was a favorite

510
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: moment for me, but it was after and it was

511
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: the trade of Raffi. Again, I didn't enjoy that moment itself.

512
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: It was weird, it fell out of place, it felt odd.

513
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: But after that, after that, that first game without Raffi.

514
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: And I've said this multiple times and I still even

515
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: to this day, I still can't put my finger on it.

516
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: I just felt something different when I just saw the

517
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: way the team was operating. Watched a lot of Red

518
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: Sox games over the years, but I don't know, there's

519
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,479
Speaker 1: something different about that team when you didn't have Raffi.

520
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: There was still, at least to me, when I was

521
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: watching the team that day, I still had a slight

522
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: sense of comfort. I don't know why. I nothing against

523
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: Raffi by any means, but I just saw the way

524
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: the team was going about the app bats that day,

525
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: the way they were pitching. They were just playing aggressive,

526
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: They're getting the bat on the ball. They just played

527
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: a hard, competitive game against a good Mariners team, and

528
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 1: I thought, and I just had this weird sense of

529
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: things are going to be okay. There's weird sort of

530
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: feeling of comfort. Can't explain it. Don't know why I

531
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: was feeling that way, but I just remember that moment.

532
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: I remember that first game. Yes, it took him a

533
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: little bit to get themselves going. Remember you went to

534
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: San fran not too long after that trade. You saw

535
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: Rafi again, and I hope the best for him. But

536
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: it just felt like a new era. It felt like

537
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: a new time, and it felt like, you know, obviously

538
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: you go back to the whole reason for why that happened.

539
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: He didn't want to play first base, and I get it.

540
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: There was a whole bunch of miscommunication going on and

541
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: the Red Sox didn't do a good job at that either.

542
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: No one it was blamed to go around. But at

543
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: the end of the day, no matter how you slice it,

544
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: no matter what you say to justify however you feel

545
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: about that he didn't want to play first base, the

546
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: Red Sox needed someone to play first base. They needed

547
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: to make room for Roman Anthony. They wanted to get

548
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: this guy into the lineup, and it showed obviously with

549
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: how good he was they wanted to make room for him.

550
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: They weren't able to do that unless Raffi moved over

551
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: to third to first base. Bregman was the better third baseman.

552
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: We saw that this year. It was very clear Bregman

553
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: was the answer at third base. You needed him to

554
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: move first He didn't want to. So take feelings out

555
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: of it. It's like, Okay, if you don't want to

556
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: play first base, well we're gonna have to move you.

557
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: In the process, we're gonna be able to clear out

558
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of money, So that's gonna give us

559
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: flexibility later on. And Craig Breslow said it himself. He

560
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: said this, He said he saw the Red Sox having

561
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: a better record than they would have with Raffi. They did.

562
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: They did. No matter what you argue, no matter how

563
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: you feel about it. Yes, I would still love to

564
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: have Raffi on this team. I would love to have it.

565
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: It's not that I didn't think he was a bad

566
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: player or he felt, you know, it was wrong the

567
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: way he felt. I don't feel that at all. I

568
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: get it. The guy felt he wasn't being communicated with

569
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: and he was there, he was their star. You know,

570
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: he just felt disrespected. That's fine, it's fair to feel that.

571
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: But in the end, the Red Sox they needed to

572
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: do what they needed to do as an organization and

573
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: move forward, and they pulled the trigger and Craig was right.

574
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: They had a better record. And people are gonna say, oh,

575
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: it's because the pitching. The last time I checked, the

576
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: Red Sox offense was top ten when Roman Anthony was

577
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: in the lineup. Were they pitching? No, they weren't. So

578
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that at all. I see

579
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: people say that sometimes, Yes, they pitched well, but you're

580
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: also gonna pitch well when you have a good offense

581
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: behind you, right, You're gonna feel a little bit more comfortable.

582
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: And that offense was doing great when you had Roman

583
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: in there, when you had guys swinging, that was a

584
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: top ten offense. So yeah, they pitched well, but that

585
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: offense definitely definitely helped as well. So again, let me reiterate,

586
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: trading Raffi was not a favorite moment for me. It

587
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: was that moment that first game after it was that

588
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: feeling in the air. I don't know, I felt a

589
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: sense of comfort. There was also a changing of the

590
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: guard this year. Let me rephrase that, maybe not a

591
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: full changing of the guard, but a new era. Speaking

592
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: of new era, a new wave of talent coming in,

593
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: Barty mentioned Roman. How excited were we when Roman got

594
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: called up? How excited were we when Roman got the extension?

595
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: Marcello Meyer getting called up? He actually got called up first, right,

596
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell, you go all the way back to the

597
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. Christian Campbell making the opening day roster.

598
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: That was a cool moment, right, That was a signal

599
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: of turning over to a new era of players. Yes,

600
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell ended up having a tough go, he got

601
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: off to the great start in April, but I'll always

602
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: remember that first home run in Texas. What a great

603
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: moment for him. You know, a guy that was playing

604
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: in college just a couple of years ago and he

605
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: just blew through the minor league system and getting a

606
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: home run there, and then he got the extension as well.

607
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: I still think Christian Campbell is gonna be a very

608
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: good player. I think there's too much athleticism there. I

609
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: just think there's too much potential there. I think he's

610
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 1: gonna be good, and he's definitely gonna be a factor

611
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: with this team moving forward, and I think a big factor.

612
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: Marcelo Meyer, it was really fun to watch him this year.

613
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: He brought this smoothness into the field that I feel

614
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: like we haven't seen in a while. You know how

615
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: many years now, past few years, these infields that the

616
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: Red Sox have had have not been very good. But

617
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: you saw something different there. Felt like everything that was

618
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: hit his way, whether it was a soft tapper or

619
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: a guy smashing it at him, he made plays left

620
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: him right and he just did it in a way

621
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: where it just looked easy, like Bogarts was a good shortstop,

622
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: but he was more of like he just made the

623
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: routine plays. Marcelo Meyer, the footwork, He's just so smooth

624
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: compared to Boguarts, and it was really fun watching him.

625
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: He just made it look easy out there, right, And

626
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: then obviously, and then he had the big home run

627
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium too, Right, you saw Marcello Meyer. The

628
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: lights were not bright with him. He was a cool

629
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: cat man. He was a cool cat And then Roman obviously,

630
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: speaking of Yankee Stadium, how about that home run at

631
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium the bat flip? You know, I mean, how

632
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: awesome was that. Roman Anthony was one of the best

633
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: players in baseball while he was active. Roman Anthony's gonna

634
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: be special. Peyton totally. Peyton totally, I mean, honestly, I

635
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: know totally has had his struggles ever since that first start,

636
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: but I was revveed up that first start. I was

637
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: fire up. I love Peyton totally. Man. Coming into the year,

638
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: he was one of my favorite prospects.

639
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 3: I was.

640
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: I just saw this big, old dude, lefty guy that

641
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: you know, looking at the reports from his offseason, he

642
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 1: the stuff had gotten better, the velo had gotten better.

643
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: It was very excited for him this year, and he

644
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: had a phenomenal year in the minors. My goodness, how

645
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 1: electric was he when he came up. There was again,

646
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, I just mentioned earlier how there was just

647
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: a different feeling in the air today for Game one

648
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: sixty two, people chanting let's go Red Sox in the

649
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: final inning. You haven't had that. But but also when

650
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: Peyton totally got called up, you hadn't had a young

651
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: picture like that, and just everyone getting behind him in

652
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: a long time. You know, obviously, you know they've had

653
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: some guys along the way, but you know John Lester,

654
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, Clay Buckles obviously throwing the no hitter at

655
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: fly Park back in seven. Couldn't really think of a

656
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: time another time like that where a homegrown guy like

657
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 1: totally ended up getting to standing ovation and people were

658
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: just so hyped up for it. Love that. What a

659
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: great moment that was, What a great start that was

660
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: Connolly early, Holy cow, what a debut for him, tying

661
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: the record for most strikeouts in their rookie debut with eleven.

662
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: He just looks, he looks like a guy that belongs.

663
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: It's weird with Connolly early. It's very in a way.

664
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: He reminds me the way his mechanics are, the way

665
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: his motion is, he reminds me of Henry Owens in

666
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: a sense, but just so much better from a talent perspective.

667
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: But he also gives me this sort of he gives

668
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: you this composure, almost like Lester in a way. I'm

669
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: not comparing him to Lester. I know, probably someone's gonna

670
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: come into the comments and say, Robbie, Holy col you're

671
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: out of your You're comparing Connolly early to John Lester. No,

672
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm more comparing just the poise, right, just the feeling

673
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: of being under control. He reminds me of Lester in

674
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: that sense. It's gonna be very hard to live up

675
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: to John Lester. But early he shows you things. Really

676
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: loved him getting called up. But again, just overall, I mean,

677
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,959
Speaker 1: how many good young players have we had come up

678
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 1: this year or how many more? We haven't had this

679
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: many young players coming up over the last you know,

680
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: several years now, right, obviously you go back to you know,

681
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 1: Mookie RAFFI I don't know, I'm going Xander obviously back

682
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, right, you know, so many talented guys,

683
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: but it's been a good few years now and you're

684
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: seeing this next wave of talent coming up. You gotta

685
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 1: love it. Trevor Story, What a great moment, What a

686
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: every It felt like every game was a great moment

687
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: for Story, just awesome. Just got to love what he

688
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: has been able to do this year, the bounce back

689
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 1: year that he had after all the injuries. People wanted

690
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: this guy gone, People wanted him traded, people wanted him dfade.

691
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: People just wanted him shipped out of town, especially after

692
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: that May. But this is a good player. When he

693
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: first came to the Red Sox, I was hyped for it.

694
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: I was so excited for it. And uh, the guy's

695
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: just a gamer and he's just a good, solid veteran player,

696
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: and I knew he could bring something good to this team.

697
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: And look at the year that he had. Let's look

698
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: at the final numbers with Story. Looking at the final numbers,

699
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: I believe he went over four today. That's okay. Overall

700
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: hit two sixty three seven forty one ops, twenty five homers.

701
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: Just fell short of a Hungred Ribbies thirty one stolen bases. Hey,

702
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: not many guys not many shortstops have had a twenty

703
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: five to thirty season. Believe, if I can remember correctly,

704
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: I think he's the eighth all time to be able

705
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: to do that among shortstops. Just a great year for

706
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: Trevor's story, not just from a performance point of view,

707
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: but from just a I can't I can't think of

708
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: the word, you know, from a just a his own

709
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: personal gain, you know what I mean? Like it's rough. Man.

710
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: You go back to when he got hurt last year.

711
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 1: You know, this guy had tears in his eyes. Man,

712
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: is he You just saw that this guy wanted to

713
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: be out there, he wanted to compete. Then, yeah, he

714
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 1: did what he did this year, and I knew he

715
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: had it in him. I put out a tweet in

716
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: spring training, don't sleep on Trevor's story. The guy's a gamer.

717
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: It's been a pleasure watching him last but not least.

718
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm probably leaving off a lot here, but these are

719
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: the ones that are coming to mind right away from me.

720
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: The one that we just saw the other night. SETTI

721
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: would the walk off to claims how great was that.

722
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: It's been a rough few years. It's been a down

723
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 1: few years. It's been awful you know, obviously they won

724
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: back in twenty thirteen. You had the rough twenty fourteen,

725
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: you had the rough twenty fifteen. So that was a

726
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: couple of years that I remember personally just being like ough.

727
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: But then twenty sixteen they were able to get back

728
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: into it, you know, But this last three years, this

729
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: one was rough, Like, it was a pretty rough go

730
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 1: because it was also you were also waiting for this

731
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: farm system to get back together, to start developing more talent.

732
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: And listen, him haters out there, all the Heim Bloom haters,

733
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: the him hater brigade. I know you're never gonna you're

734
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: never gonna like him, but I will always appreciate what

735
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: he did for this farm system leading the way. You know,

736
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: obviously there's a lot of people that go into the

737
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: mix right scouting, you know, a whole bunch of different positions.

738
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: It's not just him obviously out on the front lines,

739
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, but he led the way for a few

740
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 1: years there. And yes, obviously the major league level they struggled,

741
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: but he led the way when it came to rebuilding

742
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: that farm. And I'll always appreciate that. I got lost there.

743
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 1: I don't know where I was going with that anyway. Yeah,

744
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: SETI the walk off the other night, that was awesome.

745
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: I hope we get another one of those in the postseason. Man,

746
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: you know SETI, You know SETI. The bright lights do

747
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: not affect him, and I hope he gets himself a

748
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: good moment. You know, he's gonna want one. You know,

749
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna want one and then one more. And this

750
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: is more of a personal one. This is more for me. Well,

751
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: in the chat, Jennifer, what time is your preview postseason show?

752
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: That's gonna be tomorrow night. That's I do have a

753
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: show that I'm doing at nine Eastern time, so it's

754
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 1: gonna be right after that, probably run around nine thirty,

755
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: so that's when. And then I got Mike Robbie. I

756
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: know this is old news, but what were your thoughts

757
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: on farall when he was our manager. He definitely brought

758
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: I think more stability to the team after the whole

759
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: Bobby Valentine thing. I mean that was just a whack

760
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 1: adoodle time, Like it felt like a like what the

761
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: heck is going on? The Red Sox they went, you know,

762
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: Terry Francona was such a player manager and they just

763
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: went the complete opposite way. Going to Bobby Valentine, and

764
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: it was he was just trying to be like very authoritarian.

765
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: He he just did he did not. I think time

766
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: had pretty much passed him by at that point. Yeah,

767
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: Bobby Valentine was not the right fit. But when they

768
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: brought in Farrell, they kind of dialed back what Valentine

769
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: was trying to do. But he also still brought this

770
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 1: sense of stability at the same time, and I felt

771
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: like he he was the perfect guy for that time.

772
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: Ended up not working out in the end, right, you know,

773
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: just you know, personalities change, and I think it is

774
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: feral I yeah, yeah, I think he was the right

775
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: guy at the right time in twenty thirteen. But then

776
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: obviously they went their separate ways and now we got

777
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: Alex kra and I feel like Cora at this point

778
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: he could be the manager here for a very long time. Anyway,

779
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: back to back to my final favorite moment for this season,

780
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: and it's a personal one. It was my first trip

781
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: to Tampa this year, going to not Tropicana Field, going

782
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: to Steinbrenner Field, my first time ever being credentialed for

783
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: the media. That blew my mind. It still blows my mind.

784
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: I still have my press pass from that being on

785
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: the field in that moment. It's weird because I played

786
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: obviously throughout high school and since then, you know, I've played,

787
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: I played like intramural baseball, like when I went to

788
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: college and stuff like that. But just being back on

789
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: the field in that capacity was just cool, right. But

790
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: then it was obviously like holy crap, like this is

791
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's a minor league field, but still whatever,

792
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: it still counts as a major league field this year.

793
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: But then I'm seeing all these players that I'm like,

794
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm like star struck almost at the same time. But

795
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: then I'm also thinking to myself, Okay, I need to

796
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: I can't just be here and just watching these guys

797
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: taking BP and you know, being the fan that I've been,

798
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: I got to actually try and do my job here.

799
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: And I was able to land a few interviews Christian Campbell,

800
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: Trystan Cassas Walker Bueller was my first ever one. Unfortunately

801
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: wasn't able to work out with the Red Sox this year.

802
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: Good luck to him in Philly. Uh, but I'll always

803
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: thank him. He was the first guy to give me

804
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:02,399
Speaker 1: a chance to you know, give me a couple give

805
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: me a couple of minutes and then Campbell Cosas. Obviously,

806
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: that was just a really cool moment for me, just

807
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: to be in that kind of environment, even seeing other reporters,

808
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, I don't I believe Jem McCaffrey was there.

809
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: I believe Sean McCadam was there, but it was just cool,

810
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: like seeing them in person, you know, seeing Jamai on

811
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: Nesson was there and I'm like, oh, like it's it's

812
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: It was just kind of an out of mind experience,

813
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, like for me personally. But it was really

814
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: cool to have that first experience. This year, I was

815
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: able to go back just within the last couple of

816
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: weeks and do it again. I talked to Nate Lowe.

817
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: It's just been really cool to be able to have

818
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: that experience, to be able to get that taste. I

819
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: definitely plan on doing it a lot more in the future.

820
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: Very excited for it. But that was a cool moment

821
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: for me, Very cool everybody. I'm gonna wrap it up

822
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: right there. I'm gonna wrap it up, Greg and the

823
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: shat Tuesday's game is six oh eight pm confirmed. That's

824
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,959
Speaker 1: what I thought. I figured ESPM would want the later

825
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: time slot. No offense to the Tigers and the Guardians.

826
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: But this is Red Sox Yankees, speaking of Red Sox Yankees.

827
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: We'll be talking about that tomorrow night, so be on

828
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 1: the lookout. I'm gonna schedule the stream ahead of time

829
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: so that way you know it's gonna be available. I'll

830
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: probably schedule that tomorrow morning. We'll be here. We're gonna

831
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna break this down. I'm gonna give you my

832
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: honest thoughts about that tomorrow. It's been a great season, everybody.

833
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: We've been here for every single game minus one. And

834
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: that was the first raise game that I went to.

835
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: It was the only game I did not do a

836
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: postgame show for this year. Unfortunately I could not go

837
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: the perfect season. I went one sixty one for one

838
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: sixty two. I'll take it, but I want to thank

839
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: all of you. You all but amazing this year. We're

00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: ready for the postseason though. This is why we're here.

841
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm ready for the Red Sox to get back to

842
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: the postseason. Everybody, if you can on the way out,
