1 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: Having and everybody welcome to massa territory brought to you 2 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: by the Foul Territory Network. That was an absolute heartbreaker tonight. 3 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: That was one of those games where if you found 4 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: a way to win it, you could look back on 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: this game and you could say to yourself, yeah, that 6 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: was the win that really helped build the identity of 7 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: this team, that really helped propel us into some good momentum, 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: and unfortunately the Tigers got to reap those benefits. This 9 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: is a really good Tigers team, and I'm not saying 10 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: you've got to play a perfect game against this team, 11 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: but in the end, you saw where the Red Sox 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: came up short tonight in multiple facets and the Tigers, 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,959 Speaker 1: they just showed you how good they are and they 14 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: showed you why they are one of the best teams 15 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. But for the Red Sox, you 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: could also say, too, they really beat themselves a lot tonight. 17 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: There were a lot of things to look back on, 18 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: you know, you could question lack of execution with a 19 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: lot of things, both with the pitching and offensively. You know, 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: in the end, it was a great effort from the 21 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: Red Sox, but you got to do more against a 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: good team like this. It was an absolute battle. It 23 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: felt like a postseason game, it really did. It just 24 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: was a back and forth, felt like a boxing match, 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: like a heavyweight bout. And in the end the Red 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: Sox can come away with it either now three and 27 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: four and extra inning games. That was now their eleventh 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: one run loss. Got to get that cleaned up. We'll 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: break this down. We'll get into it both offensively with 30 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: the pitching. We got a lot of stuff to talk about. 31 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: But before we do move forward, we just have a 32 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: word from our sponsor. 33 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: This is a straightforward show, so I'm going to be 34 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: very straightforward with everyone about PXG.

Let's start with the offense. It 55 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: really felt like a rollercoaster tonight. A lot of good 56 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: things with the offense, but a lot of bad as well. 57 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: A lot of guys stepping up for the offense tonight. 58 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: David Hamilton. How about David Hamilton. This guy has absolutely 59 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: struggled this year, but he had himself a good game 60 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: here tonight, had the big home run that tied the 61 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: game late in the game. There, So tip of the 62 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: cap to Hammy stepping up in a big way today. 63 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman earlier in the game coming through big home run. 64 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: You know it's funny because in the offseason when Alex 65 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: Bregman was deciding on which team he was going to 66 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: play for, a lot of people were looking at where 67 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: he excelled as a player at certain ballparks, and obviously 68 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: Famway Park, that's been a great, great park for him 69 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: in his career. But at Camerica people wondered would that 70 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: be a good fit for him because it does have 71 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: a deeper left field, and that didn't matter to him 72 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: all that much because he homered and obviously Christian Campbell 73 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: it looked like he, you know, was going to be 74 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: the hero in this one, and for a moment he 75 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: was just like Hamilton. But it is what it is. Also, 76 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: Nick Soguard shout out to him, pretty solid game for 77 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: him tonight. You know, it is what it is. But 78 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: a lot of things as well that came back to 79 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: bite the Red Sox key strikeouts throughout this one. Let's 80 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: kind of just break this down here. Second inning, Like 81 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: I said, Nick Soguard had the good night, he got 82 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: it started, had the two out double there and the 83 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: NARV Dog Carlos Narvas. He also had himself a good 84 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: game tonight. Shout out to him. Had the bass hit 85 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: ended up tying it up there, Bregman with the home 86 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: run that made it two to two. Fifth inning, Hamilton, 87 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: like I said, good game for him, had the leadoff 88 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: base hit. Seti with an RBI double that tied it 89 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: three to three. Duran had the bass hit the left 90 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: it made it four to three. But then you get 91 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: to the sixth inning. You know you're kind of getting 92 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: some things started there, but big strikeouts to day, Rafaela 93 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: with a strikeout. One thing you know that's been in 94 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: the reports lately, Sean McCadam of Mass Live saying the 95 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: Red Sox would like for him to cut down on 96 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: the first pitch swings, you know, and he did swing 97 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: at the first pitch there. You know, it is what 98 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: it is. He has vastly improved on the plate discipline 99 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: compared to last year. But it is something to pay 100 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: attention to there. And then Sharon Duran with the big 101 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: k there as well. You go to the eighth inning, right, 102 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: you guests started pretty well. David Hamilton right had the 103 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: home run, ended up tying it said he with the walk, 104 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: Duran with the double, but then Raffi with a strikeout 105 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: in the eighth. You know, he had a key opportunity there, 106 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: you know, to add on some runs, you know, and 107 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: it is what it is. So and then obviously later 108 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: on Christian Campbell with the home run, was looking like 109 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: the hero at one point. But just an up and 110 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: down night for the offense. I mean, obviously they you know, 111 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: put the runs on the board. So in a way 112 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: it feels like nitpicking, but you had some moments that 113 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: you really could have added on to this, you know. 114 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: And like I said to the introl, this is a 115 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: Tigers team that is hard to beat, and they're going 116 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: to be hard to beat this year. They are going 117 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: to be a contender to go to the World Series 118 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: this year. You know. Coming into the year, this Detroit 119 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: Tigers team, I had my eye on this team because 120 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: obviously they have a lot of good things from last year. 121 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: They got red hot in the second half. Obviously, Trek Schooble, 122 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: you brought back Jack Flaherty. You know, imagine if this 123 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: Tigers team had Jack Flaherty last year. He obviously went 124 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: to the Dodgers at the trade deadline, but imagine if 125 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: they had him, you know, would that have gone a 126 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: bit different In the postseason where the Guardians ended up 127 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: advancing in five games. You know, go play the Yankees 128 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: in the ALCS. What if they had flarity? You know, 129 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: maybe you're looking at a different playout in that American league. 130 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: But this is a Tigers team where, you know, they 131 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: got a lot of good young bats, a team that 132 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: really looks like you know, they're just a gritty team, 133 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: but they play for each other. They're having fun with 134 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: each other, you know. And Javier Bias, you know, credit 135 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: to him, man, what a great night for him tonight. 136 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: A couple of home runs. Obviously the walk off will 137 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: get to that. But Javier Bias, Man, you know, this 138 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: is a guy where he was looking like one of 139 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: the worst contracts in Major League Baseball after signing that 140 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: big deal a few years ago. Has n't been able 141 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: to stay healthy, hasn't been productive. But this guy has 142 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: been great for the Tigers. But getting back to you know, 143 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: obviously this is a Red Sox show, but the Tigers, man, 144 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to do more. You know, even though 145 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: you scored nine tonight, you got to clean up as 146 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: much as you can against this team. Let's talk about 147 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: Brian Bao, up and down night for him. The one 148 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: thing with Bao that's been following him. You know, it 149 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: feels like for a long time now, not even just 150 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: this year, go back to the last couple of seasons. 151 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: Is just the. 152 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: Lack of command. Brian Beao four and two thirds, six hits, 153 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: two earned. You know, he just was battling. He was 154 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: struggling with command, especially early on. But he also had 155 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: a bit of a weird pitch mix tonight, the one 156 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: pitch that we all love from Brian Bao where it 157 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: kind of almost makes you think of Paedro back in 158 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: the day. No one's ever gonna have a Pagro Martinez 159 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: change up. I mean Devin Williams, I mean that guy 160 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: does have a nasty change up. Well minusless year he's happen, 161 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: he's been having his struggles, but you know what I mean, 162 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: Pedro Martinez amazing. But Brian Bao, he's got a pretty 163 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: good one himself. And he didn't go to it all 164 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: that much. Down to thirteen percent on the night. His 165 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: average four the year so far twenty one percent, and 166 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: he was way up on the four seam fastballs. So 167 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, bit of a weird pitch mix for 168 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: Brian Bao. The Tigers, they're a good fastball hitting team, 169 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: and uh so, I was a little confused about that mix. 170 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: But you know, either way, he just he had trouble 171 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: commanding his pitches. You know, he's battling that first pitch 172 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: or the Sorry the first inning he had twenty five pitches. 173 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: You know, he was kind of it felt like he 174 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: was really just trying to catch up with himself the 175 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: entire night. You know, he started to look a little better, 176 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: you know, once he got into the fourth inning, you know, 177 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 1: third fourth inning, but you know, Torklsen had the home 178 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: run off of him. Obviously, the third inning was a 179 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: bit of a tough spot for Bao. There you had 180 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: Hobby with the Hovey, Baios with the walk, Carpenter with 181 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: the base hit that moved Hovey over to third, You 182 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: got the strikeout to Glabor Torres. But then you ran 183 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: into an issue here where, and this is one of 184 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: those little things. Defense. Carlos Devas he has been a 185 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: breath of fresh air behind the plate this year. At catcher, 186 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: he's been fantastic for the Red Sox so far this year. 187 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: But tried to pick him off a third base threw 188 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: it away. Hovey Bio has ended up scoring to make 189 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: it two to one. And when he came back, he 190 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: got the strikeout to mckinscree. Riley Green got the ground 191 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: out in a bit of a messy inning. Fifth inning 192 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: got a little messy there as well. He did strike 193 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: out Hovey bios and then Carpenter with a bass hit 194 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: Glabor with a hard hit ball the second base Christian 195 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: Campbell good play but not a great throw over to second. 196 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: That's kind of something this year with Christian Campbell where 197 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: he's not necessarily bad at second base, but he's still 198 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: really trying to get those little things down where some 199 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: plays can get a little awkward for him. But again, 200 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: like I said, I'll bring it up one more time. 201 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: This is a good Tigers team and those little things 202 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: can go a long way. And then mckinscree had the blooper, 203 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: Bray had the made a nice attempt out there, you know, 204 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: but in the end couldn't come up with it. Runners 205 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: at the corners. Then that's when the bullpen came in. 206 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: Bullpen came in here, and it was I mean, you 207 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: could say the offense was up and down despite the 208 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: nine runs. Bao was up and down, and the bullpen 209 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: was up and down. It just felt like a roller 210 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: coaster all over the place here tonight. Credit to Justin 211 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: Wilson coming in for the fifth, two outs to face. 212 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: Riley was able to get that locked down, but then 213 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: Garrett Whitlock he came in and right off the bat, 214 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: it was one of those nights where looking good with 215 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: the breaking pitches, the off speed pitches, but the fastball 216 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: just seemed like he didn't have a grip on the 217 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: fastball tonight. I don't know what was going on there. 218 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: He was missing glove side a lot. He walked Tokleson, 219 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: he struck out Sweeney on a nasty slider tourkle Sin 220 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: ended up moving to second base, struck out Dingler, and 221 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: then Jace Young getting hit by a pitch, and this 222 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 1: was the key at bat. You know, Jace Young has 223 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: not been very good this year. That's a guy that 224 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: you got to put away. You know, you got the 225 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: two strikeouts prior that was I think could you say 226 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: that was the turning point of this game or that 227 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: was the key to this game, not getting Jay Sung 228 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: out there, because then that led to the Hobvey Bias 229 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: three run home run. Again, great bounce back year for 230 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: Hovey bias. Bernardino ran into a little bit of trouble 231 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: in the seventh inning, but he was able to get 232 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: out of it for the most part. Justin Slayton looked 233 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: nasty in the eighth inning. Big difference with Justin Slayton 234 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: going heavy to the fastballs. Holy cow, this guy was 235 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: just throwing the cheese and saying, all right, try and 236 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: hit this, and they couldn't hit it. Nine swings overall, 237 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: five whiffs. He struck out the side, two on the fastball, 238 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: one on the sweeper. That's the Justin Slayton that we 239 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: all know and loved. Our oldest chatman shutting it down 240 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: in the ninth inning, striking out. Zach mckinstree hungred two 241 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 1: mile an hour fastball or oldest chatman. Can you say, man, 242 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 1: this guy's been fantastic this year. Unfortunately we got to 243 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 1: talk about the Greg Weisert outing. You know this. You 244 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: had to lead there in the tenth inning. You had 245 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: something going, you had something cooking, looking like you're gonna 246 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: get an extra inning win, possibly Greg Weisert to out 247 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 1: game tying base hit. De Tray Sweeney hung a change 248 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: up just a little bit too much, you know, just 249 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: lack of execution. Not necessarily a bad pitch, I guess, 250 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: but you got to do a little better with it, 251 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: and then hung the sweeper to Hovey Bias. That was 252 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: the walk off. Now I saw a lot of people saying, 253 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: why was Greg Weiser even in there for another inning? Well, 254 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: they pretty much used up their entire bullpen. You know, yes, 255 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: Sean Newcomb, but he was used up yesterday he went 256 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: five and two thirds. So you weren't going with Sean 257 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: Newcome today. Your only other arm was Liam Hendricks. Greg Weisert. 258 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: He's gone multiple innings before, so so that was the 259 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: right move in my opinion, because you know, you know, 260 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: could you say maybe he should have tried to get 261 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: a bit more out of his guys earlier on. You know, sure, 262 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: I think you can maybe say that, but you're at 263 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: the point where you're just running out of arms, right, 264 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: you know, And to me, I know, in hindsight it 265 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: doesn't look all that great, But I think you still 266 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: go with Greg Weisser because if you go with Liam Hendricks, 267 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: you know, and then let's say it just keeps on going, 268 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: keeps on going, how many how many innings are you 269 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: going to expect to get out of Liam Hendricks at 270 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: that point, and I guess you can go. If it 271 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: gets to a point where you got to go with 272 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: a starter, maybe you know, it's kind of it. It 273 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: is what it is. Obviously, Greg Weiser just didn't execute. 274 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: But when you take a look at the track record, 275 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: he's gone multiple innings before, so I understand it. Obviously, 276 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: it just didn't work out. Just a heartbreaker, absolute heartbreaker here. 277 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: You felt like you did all you could, but in 278 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: the end, the Tigers they made less mistakes and they 279 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: didn't you know, bite themselves in the butt as much 280 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: as the Red Sox did, right, and didn't shoot themselves 281 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: in the foot as much as the Red Sox did. 282 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: Just a heartbreaker, man, But again, you know, a tip 283 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,719 Speaker 1: of the cap to the Tigers. So really, this is 284 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: a good looking team. And if the Red Sox do 285 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: run into this team down the road, if the Red 286 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: Sox find their way into October and they run into 287 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: this team, let's say, you know, whether it's wild card 288 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: round or maybe even the division round, who knows, maybe AOCS. 289 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, right, but I'm just saying you're gonna 290 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: have to clean it up the next time you go 291 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: up against this team, especially for tomorrow, which is what 292 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: a segue? What a segue? We got a Game three. 293 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: I apologize that, says Game two on the screen. I 294 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: apologize for that. I can actually fix that very quick here. 295 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: Game three, Well, it's not gonna get any easier, ladies 296 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, because unfortunately you gotta go up against one 297 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: of the best pitchers in all of Major League Baseball 298 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: and Trek Schooble eight games, forty seven to two thirds innings. 299 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: E al right at two point zero eight fip at 300 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: a two point one two. I mean, hey, raining Cy, 301 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: young winner, this is not gonna be easy. This guy 302 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: continues to be nasty going up against mister Tarrek Schooble. 303 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: You got a hundred Dobbins, my fellow Ginger. You gotta 304 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: love the fellow Jinger taking them mount hundred dobbins. You know, 305 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: he's been very solid this year. I am a little 306 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: worried about this matchup, not even just because of Tarek's 307 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: schoobl Yes, that is definitely a big part of it, 308 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: but Hunter Dobbins, I actually worry about the pitch mix 309 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: when it comes to the Tigers. Like I said, the Tigers, 310 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: they're a good fastball hitting team again, which is kind 311 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: of why I'm a little weird. You know, Brian be 312 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: upping the fastball usage. And if you're wondering, you know, Robbie, 313 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: where you seeing this? Where you know, where does the 314 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: show the Tigers are a good fastball hitting team. Well 315 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: here on Fangrafts, when it comes to fastball runs above average, 316 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: the Tigers ranks second overall in Major League Baseball, only 317 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: behind the New York Yankees. So Hunter Dobbins, you know, 318 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to go with a I think a 319 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: bit of a different mix here. I mean, we'll see. 320 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: I mean, hey, you know, at the end of the day, 321 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: if you can locate the fastball, you know, hit your spots, 322 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, execute well, then hey, you know what, any team, 323 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: even if they're good against the fastball, if you can 324 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: execute against them, you know, that can be a different story. 325 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: But I do wonder about this one. The bright side 326 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: is that none of these guys have seen Hunter Dobbins, 327 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: So you got that going for you and for the 328 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: Red Sox, they have seen Derek Scooble a little bit. 329 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman, he's got nine abs against him raft He's 330 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: got nine abs and we got Trevor Story. You know, 331 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: let's see Trevor Story. We'll be back in there. We'll 332 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: see he had the night off. Jaron Duran six abs, 333 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: all right, so they have seen schooble a little bit. 334 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 1: I would imagine Trevor Story is gonna be back in 335 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 1: the lineup tomorrow. Get that righty bat back in there 336 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: and let's see. Man. But this is gonna be a 337 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 1: tough matchup Hunter Dobbins. Right, he's been pretty solid for 338 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: the most part. If we actually go back to his 339 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: last start here and hey, went up against the Royals, 340 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: he was looking good. That was another heartbreaking loss. Six innings, 341 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: five hits, zero earned six k's let's even keep that 342 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: momentum going right. The Star prior against the Twinkies was 343 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: a little messy there, but Hey, for the most part, 344 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 1: he's looked good against the Central teams. So his his 345 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: tour of the al Central continues. He gets to the 346 00:17:54,440 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: Detroit Tnders tomorrow. So but that is it for the 347 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: game three preview. We do have some good news within 348 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: the Red Sox organization. We do have a couple of 349 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: good things to talk about here. And uh, listen, I mean, 350 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone caught the WU Sox game, 351 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: but holy cow, the WU Socks absolutely exploded. Taking a 352 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: look here, they were down in this one seven to 353 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: one going into the top of the eighth, and they 354 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: exploded for nine runs in the eighth and the ninth. 355 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: And of course we're all focused on Roman Anthony, Marcelo Meyer. 356 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony, you know, not too much. Tonight one for 357 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: five with a double, had to strike out Marcelo Meyer. 358 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: He was I'd say the story of this one had 359 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: a home run tonight two for four, three RBIs overall. Hey, 360 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 1: these guys, they just keep on hitting. Man. You gotta 361 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: love what Roman Anthony and Marcelo Meyer are doing here. 362 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: And I just wonder, it's still very early, still very 363 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: early here obviously, you know what is it May thirteenth 364 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: up to this point. So but these guys continue to 365 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: bang on the door. Roman Anthony on the year hitting 366 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: two ninety eight eighty nine ops overall, Marcella Meyer hitting 367 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: two seventy five with an eight forty two ops overall. 368 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I mean, what would these 369 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: guys have helped carry the Red Sox to a win tonight? 370 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, but you know, the frustration, the inconsistencies, 371 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: the heartbreaks. It's getting Red Sox fans a little frustrated. 372 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: So it's very understandable for a lot of Red Sox 373 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: fans out there to want to see Anthony and Meyer 374 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: get the call. So that is that. I do want 375 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: to touch on the Raphael Devers report. Do you want 376 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: to touch on that before we do wrap things up 377 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: for tonight. Ken Rosenthal he had a report also with 378 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: the Foul Territory Network had a report saying that I'm 379 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: paraphrasing it that he wouldn't be I guess wouldn't be 380 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 1: surprised if Raffi Devers were to come up in trade conversations. 381 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. Here's the thing with that. I'm 382 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: going to say this right off the bat. I don't 383 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: think Raffi is going to be traded at all. A 384 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: lot of people have been talking Raffi Devers trades best fits? 385 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: What team could he go to? Hey, listen, I love 386 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: a good trade talk more than anyone out there. That's 387 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: what I've built my main channel on YouTube on is 388 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: talking trades. I love me some trades, But I don't 389 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: think Raffi's going to be going anywhere, ladies and gentlemen. 390 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: You know, we've already talked at nauseum about you know, 391 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: defending Raffi, you know, and not wanting to go play 392 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: first base, but also looking at the team point of view, 393 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, stepping up for your team. You know, we've 394 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: looked at both sides at nauseum. But when it comes 395 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: to trading Raffi Devers, I really don't see the benefit 396 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: of it unless and this is where cam Rosenthal was 397 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: getting at, unless if the relationship has just completely soured 398 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: between Raffi and the organization. I just don't think it's 399 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: going to get to that point. You know. It does 400 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: bring me back a little bit to Manny Ramirez back 401 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight. Well, multiple occasions with many 402 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: Ramirez you know, even go back to two thousand and five. 403 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: You know, he was popping up in trade rumors. Remember 404 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: the Mets and the Orioles were coming up, right, Manny 405 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: was just very disgruntled multiple times, even though he helped 406 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: the Red Sox win a couple of World series, you know, 407 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: in the end got moved to the Dodgers, right, He 408 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: was just having a lot of things, a lot of 409 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: things that were not good. Right, I got into you know, 410 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: a bit of a bit of a fight with Kevin 411 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: eyuclus right, shoving the security guard, you know, sitting out 412 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: against the Yankees. You know, there are a whole bunch 413 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: of things in many Eramiraz, So you know he was 414 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: he was very disgruntled and then no more Garcia Parr. Right, 415 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: go back to two thousand and four, contract disputes going on, 416 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: got ugly between him and the front office, and then 417 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, he was an icon and Boston the ended 418 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: up shipping him out. So you know, these things have 419 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: happened with the Red Sox before, but the Raffi situation 420 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: is a completely different animal. Right, He's on a long 421 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: term contract, you know, compared to guys like Juan Soto 422 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: Flag Junior. Yet it's a it's a bargain of a 423 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: deal compared to those guys, right, but you're still that's 424 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: a lot of money that you're gonna have to find 425 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: a team to take. And because he's basically a d 426 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: H at this point, the contract is pretty much underwater 427 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: by a good amount. And what do I mean by that? 428 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: Where yes, he's gonna give you offensive value, but because 429 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: he's not giving you anything defensively even though he wasn't 430 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 1: really giving you anything prior, but now he's definitely not 431 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: as a designated hitter. Well, the money that you're paying 432 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: him is more than what he is putting on the 433 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: field overall. From a value point of view, Yes, offense, 434 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: you're definitely getting that, but the defense holds it back. 435 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: So value wise, you're underwater on the deal. So you're 436 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to pay a decent amount of the contract. 437 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: And then you also factor in, you know, the latter 438 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: part of the deal. You know, that's only part of it, 439 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: the fact that he doesn't give you defense, But then 440 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: you factor in the latter part where he starts to 441 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, get a little older towards the end of 442 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: the contract, so you know, you could see some regression 443 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: during those years. You just you don't, you don't know 444 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: how that's gonna go, but you have to factor in 445 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: those things as well. Basically, my point is is that 446 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult to move Raffi because of the contract. 447 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: And then you also look at other teams point of views, 448 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: where okay, well you know if we bring him in, 449 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: you know, is he gonna be the d H. I mean, 450 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: he's already said no to first base, So you know, 451 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: could he play third base for another team? Well, teams 452 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: know that he's been one of the worst defensive third 453 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: basement in the game for a while now, so it's 454 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 1: gonna be hard to find a taker for him, you know, 455 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: even just based off of that. So basically just wrapping 456 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: up kind of how I'm feeling about the Ken Rosenthal report. 457 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: You know, sure, if both sides get a little you 458 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: know where, if it goes too far, you know where 459 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: the relationship can't be repaired, then yeah, you know, there's 460 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: always room for conversation with that. But I think they're 461 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: gonna be able to figure it out. I still think 462 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: at some point there's a good chance Raffi will at 463 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: least try first base. But overall, I just don't see 464 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: the benefit of moving him, you know, I think you 465 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: should be able to figure out something with the relationship. 466 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: In the end. If you just get rid of Raffi, 467 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna make it's gonna make your team worse. I mean, 468 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: he's been one of the best bats in Major League 469 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: Baseball for a while now, and he's been red hot, 470 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, for how long here? All right, ever since 471 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: that rough start, guy's one of the best in the 472 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 1: game this year, so it's gonna be hard to replace 473 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: that kind of production on the fly. So yeah, Manny 474 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: nomar sure, but those are completely different situations, and this, 475 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, I would say it's not even close to 476 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: those two situations. So that's my thought on that. I 477 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: don't think Rafi's gonna get moved. I understand it's fun 478 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: to talk about it. It's fun to talk about Let 479 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: me take a quick look at the chat before we 480 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 1: wrap up the show for today. Yeah, Marco Scuterro, Manny 481 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: wanted to be traded like five separate times. It felt 482 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: like every month we got to report that Manny wanted out, 483 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: that Manny wanted out, Carlos, So you're saying here, why 484 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: not Liam Hendricks Again, I think Alex Corr probably wanted 485 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: to stick with Greg Weisert because he thought he was 486 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: gonna paint himself into a corner, because if you go 487 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: with Liam Hendricks, I mean you're pretty much out of 488 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: arms at that point. So I think he was trying 489 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: to squeeze another inning out of Greg Weisert, and in 490 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: the end, you know, you just you got to execute. 491 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: So it is what it is. Sean awful bullpen. I 492 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: do feel like this bullpen probably could use one more 493 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: high leverage arm in there. That's kind of how I'm feeling. 494 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: Do you bring back Luis Guerrero, maybe make a trade? 495 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: I'm not so sure, but everybody, everybody, I am gonna 496 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: start wrapping things up right there again a heartbreaker. This 497 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: was a tough one here tonight. Like I've said multiple times, 498 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: it's just one of those things where you're gonna you 499 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: gotta do the little things. You got to clean it 500 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: up as much as possible against a great Detroit Tigers 501 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: team like this. We got a tough one tomorrow against 502 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: Trek Schooble. Let's see how this goes. I think the 503 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: Red Sox they're gonna be ready to go, though, they 504 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to avoid the sweep. Everybody, 505 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: thank you for joining me here tonight over on Masta Territory, 506 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: brought to you by the Foul Territory Network. Going joy 507 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: the rest of your night.
