1
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to a late night edition of Master Territory, brought

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: to you by the Foul Territory Network. Ladies and gentlemen.

3
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm feeling pretty good. I don't know

4
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: what it is. There is something in the air. I

5
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: can't even explain it. Right, we had everything happen with

6
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: Raphael Devers yesterday. It's been an emotional twenty four hours,

7
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: even more than twenty four hours now. I can't believe

8
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: it's almost twelve thirty here on the East Coast and

9
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: we're doing postgame coverage. It is late. It is way

10
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: past my bedtime anyway, but it's been an emotional time.

11
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, the Red Sox trading away their star player,

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: Raffie Devers. He's done so much for this organization over

13
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: the years. It was a bombshell of a report, bombshell

14
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: of a trade. But for some reason, I'm feeling good.

15
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: I can't even explain it. I watched this game tonight

16
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: and you're you're you're expecting the worst, right you know,

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: you're seeing a lot of emotional responses out there today

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 1: on social media, you know, small accounts, big accounts, whatever

19
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: it may be. And to me, you know, I always

20
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: take things, you know, with a neutral response. That's how

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: I've always been. I you know, I tend to look

22
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: more half glass or glass half full. That's how I've

23
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: always been. I always try to look at the positives

24
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: anyway possible, you know, but also take into account and

25
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: weigh the negatives as well, you know, just a quick

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: recap on you know, kind of how I'm feeling about

27
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: the Raffi trade at this point. Yeah, it's obviously a

28
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: big blow losing your best bat like that. You can't

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: just replace Raffie Devers, It's impossible. However, you know, I

30
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: see some other things where this gives opportunities for some

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: of younger guys to step up, like Roman Anthony, Marcella Meyer.

32
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: More so Roman Anthony at this point, especially with Willia

33
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Ropere you coming back. You know, now, Roman he has

34
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: a path to be able to get pretty much full

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: time ABS at this point, you know, minus a couple

36
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: of lefty matchups here and there. But it opens up

37
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: a pathway for him. And you see tonight he's batting

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: third tonight. I think that says a lot about how

39
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: the Red Sox see Roman Anthony. I think they see

40
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: all the upside with Roman Anthony. Obviously everyone does, but

41
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: I think they even see more than we do. The

42
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: fact that they batted him third tonight, I think spoke volumes.

43
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: That to me was the biggest sign from the get go.

44
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: You know about you know how the Red Sox are

45
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: looking at things right now. They have a lot of

46
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: faith in him, and they believe that this guy can

47
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: maybe even lead this new era. And he showed you tonight,

48
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Roman Empire. First career home run. I

49
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: don't know what it is everyone, I really don't. I've

50
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: been a Red Sox fan for as long as I

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: can remember. I'm not trying to sound like a Homer

52
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: Red Sox fan here, but I've watched a lot of

53
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: games over the years. I've seen a lot of different teams.

54
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: I've been through all the different emotions. I've been through,

55
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: the highs, the lows. Something about tonight just it felt

56
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: positive when everything could make you feel negative. To me,

57
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: it made me feel positive. I can't quite put my

58
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: finger on it just yet. And I'm not even talking

59
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: about just winning this game. There was just something while

60
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: the game was going on tonight, I had almost this

61
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: feeling of comfort in a way. I had almost this

62
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: feeling of, you know, I'm ready for this team to

63
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, get past all these distractions, all the Raffi

64
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: to first base talk, all the drama that we've been

65
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: going through the last couple of months, the ups and

66
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: the downs. I'm ready for them. You know. It just

67
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: felt like a clean slate tonight. It felt like, and

68
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, coming off of a winning streak like they have,

69
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: which yes, did include Raffi, but you're taking a step

70
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: forward and you're turning the page. It just felt like

71
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: a fresh start, coming off obviously a lot of highs

72
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: here in the last week, and then they concluded it

73
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: with a feel good win. Was there a lot of

74
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: offense tonight?

75
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 2: No?

76
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: Are you going to see a lot of people out

77
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: there tonight on social media tomorrow? Oh they only score

78
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: two runs, Well, that's what happens when you trade away

79
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: Raffi Devers. Well, those people weren't saying that while they

80
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: were you know, sweeping the Yankees and you know, taking

81
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: two out of three in the Bronx and two out

82
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: of three against the Rays. You know that those those

83
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: people weren't saying that. I guarantee you're going to see

84
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: someone on social media tomorrow say, oh, two runs, what

85
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: a joke, a clown franchise, right, But this is where

86
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: you have guys like Lucas Giolito really stepping up. You know.

87
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: I go back to the comments that he made a

88
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: couple of starts ago, saying he needs to bring a

89
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: bit of a different energy, you know, into his starts.

90
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: He needs to kind of start being just a little

91
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: I can't remember how exactly he said it and paraphrasing here,

92
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: but saying that he just needs to bring a more

93
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: assertive mentality moving forward, right, just being more on top

94
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: of himself, right, expecting more out of himself. And you're

95
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: seeing that out of Lucas Giolito in the last couple

96
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: of starts. I came into this one here tonight thinking,

97
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: you know what, I like this matshup, right, Geeltto is

98
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: more of a flyball guy, you know, he's never really

99
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: been a groundball kind of a guy, but that plays

100
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: at Safeco and really just goes to show you know,

101
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: sometimes you look at these maxshups here and you know,

102
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: you got to lean into some of those maxshups. But

103
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't even just the fact that he was at

104
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Safego tonight, the guy was locating, changing eye levels. V

105
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: Loo was looking good, change up was looking good. Ten

106
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: strikeouts tonight for Lucas Gilido, just fantastic again. Kind of

107
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: wrapping up this intro here, something was different in the

108
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: air tonight. I can't quite put my finger on it,

109
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: but it felt good. And I'm not even talking about

110
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: just the fact that they won. It was just something

111
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: about when the game started tonight, when Roman hit that homer,

112
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: when Duran's getting a triple, you know, looking back on

113
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: some of the comments that the players made today, which

114
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: I will go over in this episode. Just something feels different.

115
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: And I've said that like five times now, but I

116
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: can't help but reiterate it. Something's there, something's in the air.

117
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. But now the Red Sox are thirty

118
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: eight and thirty six. They've now won six straight, They've

119
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: won eight out of their last ten. Good vibes right now.

120
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's still a little uh, they're still

121
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: reeling a little bit right trying to even still figure

122
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: out what the heck happened with this Rafu trade. But

123
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: I'll take the feel good win. I'll take it. Let's

124
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: talk about this offense really quick, and we're gonna talk

125
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: about Gielo. I'm gonna dive into it. We have a

126
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: lot of comments to break down in this episode Tonight,

127
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. Craig Breslo, Sam Kennedy talking to the media. Unfortunately,

128
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: we had to wait a long time here today. I'm

129
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: not sure why it took them so long. You know,

130
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: sometimes maybe you know, if you can kind of let

131
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: things marinate a little bit, maybe you breathe a little bit.

132
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, who knows. Maybe they had some logistical

133
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: things to take care of, you know, travel, whatever it

134
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: may be. Maybe it ended up being for the best

135
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: that they waited a little bit to talk today because

136
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: emotions were so high. They still are, right, I have,

137
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: It's been a while since I've seen Red Sox Twitter

138
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: this active. Holy cow. Red Sox Twitter was on fire today.

139
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean almost felt like, even in a literal sense,

140
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: it felt like people were just you know, quitting their

141
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: fan hood. It was a very emotional day, so a

142
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of reactions here today so I

143
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: thought were a little ridiculous, and even from bigger accounts,

144
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: to be completely honest, that's just me though, But let's

145
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, the offense. There's not really a whole lot

146
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: to talk about here. We'll get to those comments just

147
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. If you can hit that like button

148
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: for me subscribe if you're NEWE first inning, Roman Anthony

149
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: first career home run. Put the red Sox on the

150
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: board here and let me actually pull up the numbers

151
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: on that home run here tonight. I mean, that was

152
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: a fricking missile off of the bat. I mean, we've

153
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: seen the hard hit balls that Roman Anthony's hit. Taking

154
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: a look here, let's see, let's see we got the

155
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: v low we got Roman that was one hundred and

156
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: four miles an hour off the bat, just crushed it, right.

157
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: You just see the potential just oozing out of this guy.

158
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: And I'm excited for this guy to start getting more

159
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: consistent abs. You know, William is going to be coming

160
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: back soon, probably going to be working his way back

161
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: into the outfield, so you're going to see, you know,

162
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: probably you know him or Roman, whatever it may be,

163
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: they're going to be getting at bats at DH or

164
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: who knows how they end up doing it. But Roman

165
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: getting has started here and it felt poetic. Did anyone

166
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: else feel that? I mean, this kind of leans into

167
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: where it was just like just something felt different. Right.

168
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: You closed one chapter with Raffie Devers in the story

169
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: of the Boston Red Sox, which will go on for

170
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: years and years from now. You closed that era and

171
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: you opened a new era, the Roman Empire era just

172
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: felt like a turn of the page, just felt poetic.

173
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: Something just said something to me about that. That might

174
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: sound a little dramatic, I know, but I don't know.

175
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: I like to get into my feels a little bit,

176
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: all right, But it's funny enough.

177
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: You know.

178
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Craig comments in a little bit.

179
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: But he pretty much talked about, you know, right here

180
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: what we saw with Roman. He pretty much talked about

181
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: this in the presser today. Third inning SETI Casey striking out.

182
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: But then Jared Duran with the tripple. Does a matter

183
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: if Raffie Devers is here or not. Jared Duran is

184
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: going to continue looking like an angry, freaking lizard out there.

185
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: My goodness, his eighth triple on the year, and an

186
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: Abraham Toro with a bass hit that made it to nothing.

187
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: Abraham Torro, but of a scare, he fouled a ball

188
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: off the inner part of his knee. I mean, obviously,

189
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it makes me think of when

190
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: I smashed my shin on my bedpost kind of that.

191
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: I would imagine that's probably a similar feeling, even worse.

192
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: But you know, it seemed to be okay. We'll see

193
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: if Abraham Torro's in the game tomorrow. I'm sure that's

194
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: going to bruise up pretty well. We'll see. I see

195
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: you in the chat. Kind of off the charts. Good

196
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: old quote from Gilito believe in Nicks, I see you here.

197
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: It's a really good energy in here so far. I

198
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: think Breslo the front office did a good job adding

199
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: and I know we appreciated as players. I think that

200
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: we have a really good match team chemistry, and you know,

201
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: Gilido's talked about this, He's talked about the chemistry within

202
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: the team. I'm very curious to see how these guys

203
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: are going to be interacting with each other over the

204
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: next couple of months. You see a lot of guys here. Man.

205
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: You know, I went when I went to the Rays game,

206
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: when I had the opportunity to go on to the

207
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: field to interview a few players, you did feel a

208
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: pretty decent mojo out there, right, You saw these guys

209
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: just having fun with each other. But again, you know,

210
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: there's still had There was this stiffness in the air,

211
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: you know, like there was something still there. Even though

212
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: I saw these guys they were, you know, goofing around

213
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: with each other in pregame, you know whatever, just something

214
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: felt like it was just lingering there. You know, I

215
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm curious to see what this team is

216
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: going to be looking like from a chemistry point of

217
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: view here in the next month, and a lot of

218
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: these guys, they do seem to be together, and I

219
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: do wonder if you know, I'm not trying to, you know,

220
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: put Raffie down on the way out, but I'm more

221
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: so looking at it. Where that distraction. I don't want

222
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: to say. I don't want to call him a distraction.

223
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: That's not fair, that's not the right way to say it.

224
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: But the whole thing was a distraction. If we're being real,

225
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: you know, if we're being honest with each other, the

226
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: whole thing was a distraction. So I'm curious to see

227
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: now that it's done, it's over, they can move on.

228
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how this team responds. But let's

229
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: talk about Gielido absolutely fantastic piction here tonight. Six innings,

230
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: three hits, zero, earned ten k's on the night. He

231
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: is my player of the game tonight. Would have loved

232
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: to have given that to Roman Anthony for his first

233
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: career home run, but Geelito was just fantastic here tonight.

234
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: He led with the fastball. He worked in sliders and

235
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: change ups. V Lo was up, like I said earlier,

236
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: right around an average of ninety four and a half

237
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: miles per hour. Change up in the slider, had good

238
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: spin rates as well, good differentiation compared to the fastball.

239
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: He was changing eye levels. He was going v LO

240
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: up off speed breaking down. That's what Gilio needs to do.

241
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think Giolito he's a guy where

242
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: if he just hits his spots and he just works

243
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: the zone, right, I think he just needs to keep

244
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: a simple approach. And I've talked about this in the

245
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: last couple of streams now where it just feels like

246
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: they're taking a very simple approach about things instead of

247
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: just trying to be the smartest guys in the room,

248
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: trying to play you know, tom foolery, trickery when it

249
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: comes to you know, the pitch mixes and whatnot, you know,

250
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: trying to work backwards, you know, whatever it may be.

251
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: You know, they're just sticking with a simple approach. Throw

252
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: some v LO, make some breaking stuff in there, get

253
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: some off speed pictures going, keep those pictures down in

254
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: the zone, go with some VLO up. You know, it

255
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: just feels like you're seeing this a lot from these guys,

256
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: and uh, I think they're just trying to keep it simple.

257
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's actually really something they're just focusing on.

258
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: At this point, he did run into a little trouble.

259
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: This was amazing. This was an amazing inning. In the

260
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: third inning, he loaded the bases, and you're thinking, all right,

261
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: here we go. All right, well you know the good times,

262
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: you know, at least for a couple of innings, Well

263
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: at least we had that. At least we got to

264
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: see Romans first home run. Well, here we go. This

265
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: is where reality comes crashing down. But this was something

266
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: else where. I look back, you know, I'm gonna you

267
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: could look back on this and you look at how

268
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: Giolito approached the next three batters one, two, three in

269
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: the lineup, JP Crawford, Julio Rodriguez, cal Raley struck them

270
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: all out. That's ice in your veins. Mentality. That is

271
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: something that gets a team fired up, and that's something

272
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: where these guys rally behind you. When you come back

273
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: to the dugout, guys are fired up. You're slapping each

274
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: other on the high knees. You know, like that's just

275
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: what it's all about, right there. You just felt something.

276
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: You felt something in the air when that happened. And

277
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: unbelievable inning for Lucas Giolito mid twelve consecutive outs. At

278
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: one point, the bullpen did get a little rocky, Justin Wilson,

279
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: he had to work around some trouble in the seventh.

280
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: He got through it though. Greg Weiser, Listen, I'm telling you,

281
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: this is how it is with Greg Weiser. He's gonna

282
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: look amazing at times and then there's gonna be other

283
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: times where he is gonna make you vomit. Right, He's

284
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna you know, you're gonna have an anxiety attack. Right.

285
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: This is how it is with Greg Weiser. And I

286
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: know people when he goes on his good streaks, people

287
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, this guy is one of the best

288
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: relievers in the game. Right, This is the envy of

289
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: our bullpen. But then he goes back to he goes

290
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: through these stretches where he is just making it tough

291
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: on himself, walking two batters, but then he got three

292
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: straight outs. Right, so Greg Weiser, he dah, I love

293
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: the man, but stop doing this to me. Stop doing this.

294
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: And then Shadman's striking out the side for his thirteenth, say,

295
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: fifteen strikeouts total on the night for the Red Sox.

296
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: I'll say it one more time, said it like eighteen times.

297
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: At this point, something is in the air. Maybe I'm

298
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: jumping the gun. Maybe I'm getting a little out of

299
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: myself here. Maybe I'm feeling a little too optimistic. Maybe

300
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: I sound like a like a dufis here. I am

301
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: a dufus that sits at my desk. But it is

302
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: what it is. I don't know. I can't put my

303
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: finger on it. Something there, something there. But let's get

304
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: to the comments here, because there were some comments today

305
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: that that did make me feel pretty good, some you know,

306
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: very interesting that we're gonna dig into before we do

307
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: get to the comments. Though you all know, we got

308
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: to pay the bills here. We have our sponsor for tonight,

309
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: We'll have another one in just a little bit, we'll

310
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: be right back.

311
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 2: It is summertime. We are in the thick of golf season.

312
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 3: It's always golf season down in Florida, but we're in

313
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 3: the thick of golf season across the country. And someone's

314
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 3: looking to get a new club. That logo should say

315
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 3: it all PXG what do they do?

316
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: Go get fitted?

317
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: Go get fitted by one of their master fitters, professional fitters.

318
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 4: I've done it. It's helped shave many strokes off my handicap.

319
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 4: It is worth it. It's educational. You learn about not only clubs,

320
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 4: you learn about chefs, you learn about grips, you learn

321

Speaker 4: about angles. They have all the numbers, all the setups

322
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 4: that you need to help improve your handicap.

323
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: You feel like a VIP when you're there.

335
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: hold on a second. I'm having a couple of little

336
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: little problems here. Let's go to the main screen. All right,

337
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: We're good to go. Everyone was waiting for this all day.

338
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: It was through a zoom call. Craig Breslow, Sam Kennedy

339
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: talking to the media. We have a lot of comments

340
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: to dig into, ladies and gentlemen. I want to thank

341
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: all of you for being here with me. I know

342
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: some of you you might be on the West coast,

343
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: but it is almost one am here and we have

344
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: one of our largest crowds of the season. You're all amazing.

345
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: Thank you for that. It really helps when I got

346
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: all of you here at this time with me. It's

347
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: really it's very nice of all of you. I really

348
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: do appreciate that. Anyway, Thank you. Let's get to it here.

349
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: A lot of comments here today, man, A lot of comments,

350
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: A lot of comments. Where do I start? All right,

351
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: we'll start here. The first choice, Craig, We'll go through

352
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: Craig's comments said. The first choice was to keep Raffie

353
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: Devers timing was terrible after the best week of the season.

354
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: I wholeheartedly believe that. I do really think because everyone

355
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: knows how good of a hitter Raffi is. We'll get

356
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: to kind of how this all unfolded here, but I

357
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: do believe that I do really think the Red Sox

358
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: they tried everything they could to try and connect with him,

359
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: to get on the same page with him. I mean,

360
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: you got a thing. You know, how many how many

361
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: times have they that we don't even know about that

362
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: they've tried to get on the same page. So I

363
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: fully believe that they really wanted to keep him, right,

364
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: he said, Raffi never demanded a trade, but his agency

365
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: said that he wasn't opposed to one. That's kind of

366
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: how I feel about that too. I mean, Raffi, you know,

367
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: he's on a massive contract, so I'm sure he said

368
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: in his head, Hey, you know what, I'm gonna get paid.

369
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: You know, wherever I play, I'm still gonna get paid.

370
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: Right because he was still hitting, well, I mean you saw,

371
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean obviously, you know him and Korra, I mean

372
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: they got along. He was friendly with people within the

373
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: clubhouse obviously, so I don't think he was really you know, hey,

374
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: if I stay or go whatever, I'm still just gonna hit.

375
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: I like playing baseball, right. He did say this was

376
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: a chance for the Red Sox to reset as well

377
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: as Rafi give him a fresh start. But this line

378
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: stuck out to me from Craig saying, being a great teammate,

379
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: sacrificing and stepping up for each other and embodying this

380
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: shared vision. We believe those are principles. We need to

381
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: be faithful to listen. You know, I know a lot

382
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: of people, you know, they want to find loopholes. They

383
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: want to try to, you know, make contradicting arguments. They

384
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: want to make bad faith arguments. They want to say this,

385
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: they want to say that at the end of the day,

386
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: a team is a team. I don't care what you argue.

387
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: A team is a team. Yes, could you have maybe,

388
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: you know, you could have communicated, You could have communicated

389
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: a little bit better from the off season in the end.

390
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, maybe this is a hot take, but you

391
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: know what, those guys are signing your paychecks. Those guys

392
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,719
Speaker 1: are paying you. They gave you three hundred million dollars.

393
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: The team comes first at the end of the day. Sure,

394
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: could you absolutely look at the Red Sox and how

395
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: they communicated and how you know, they boxed a lot

396
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: of things, absolutely right, but at the same time, you

397
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: got to find a way to get on the same page.

398
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: And you know, Raffi said he felt like he's being

399
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: jerked around whatever. At the end of the day, man,

400
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, we all have jobs. You know, we all

401
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: go to work, right, and if we start saying and

402
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: stuff about our boss out in the open and that

403
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: gets back to that boss, probably you know, guess what's

404
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: probably gonna happen. You're probably not gonna have your job right.

405
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: And I know people are gonna say, oh, it's not

406
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: the same thing. You know, baseball players are different, it's

407
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: not the same whatever, you know, but still it's the

408
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: same mentality for all of us at the end of

409
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: the day. Yes, I do see where Raffi was coming

410
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: from with a lot of things that you know, he said,

411
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 1: I understand the frustration. But the team is the team.

412
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: You are one of twenty six and that's just the team.

413
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: You have the front office as well, you got all

414
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: these people working within the organization. Have the Red Sox

415
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: been dysfunctional as an organization a lot of the times,

416
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: absolutely not taking anything away from that. They're absolutely blame

417
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: but Raffi. At the end of the day, you got

418
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: to do. You know, you listen to Kevin Malar going

419
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: on MLB Network a couple of weeks ago. You're listening

420
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: to David Ortiz. I'll get to the David Ortiz comments

421
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: in just a little bit. These guys all came from

422
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: that two thousand and four team. I had the privilege

423
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: of being able to follow that team. Luckily, I really

424
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: got into my fandom as a Red Sox fan. You

425
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: know a few years before that. That twenty and four

426
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: team was absolutely special, and that showed me what a

427
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: team needs to be. These guys had fun. They were

428
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: there for each other. These guys are going out to

429
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: eat with each other constantly. They were playing cards with

430
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: each other, doing goofy stuff in the clubhouse together. You

431
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: could see the love that that team had for each other.

432
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: And if they didn't, there was no way they were

433
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: gonna beat that Yankee team in the ALCS in two

434
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: thousand and four. You can bet your buns that wasn't

435
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen. That team it was special, not just because

436
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: of what they did on the field, with how good

437
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: they were but with how they were off the field

438
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: with each other. And I guarantee you there were a

439
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: lot of players in this clubhouse that felt maybe Raffi

440
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: wasn't being there for the team, especially when someone like

441
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: Tristan Cassis went down, a young player like him who

442
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: was the everyday first baseman and he didn't step up

443
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: for the team. You can argue it all you want.

444
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: You can find loopholes all you want. You know, you

445
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: can try to find the contradictions all you want, but

446
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it comes back. You've

447
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: got to be there for your team. You're one of

448
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: twenty six. You all have to fight for the same thing,

449
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: and that's fighting to win, fighting for a championship, all right.

450
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 1: So that's how I feel about that comment that Craig made.

451
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: You have to have the willingness to step up and

452
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: sacrifice at times of need and essentially do whatever is

453
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: necessary to help the team. That's the identity this relate,

454
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: this relentless pursuit of winning. We're looking for a right.

455
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, you're there to win,

456
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: You're there to help with You're here to help to

457
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: win games. Right to be there for each other when

458
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: guys are down, you pick each other up. And I

459
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: think a lot of people probably saw that whole thing.

460
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: When Cassis went down, Rafi wasn't there to help pick

461
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: up the team. Sure did he have an argument that

462
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: he got put in DH Sure, you know, he got

463
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: settled into his routine. Sure, but you couldn't figure out

464
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: another way. You couldn't figure out another plan. If the

465
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: Red Sox wanted you to do it, they had faith

466
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: in you to do it, but you didn't want to

467
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: do it. So I don't know, That's just how it is, man,

468
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: I guarantee you, whether you like it or not, players

469
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: felt that. Maybe not all of them, but I guarantee

470
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: you at least some of them did. He said, winning

471
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: teams have this identity, culture and environment. Well, I mean,

472
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: I've never been a part of it, but I agree

473
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: because I watched a lot of those teams. You know,

474
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: you go back to twenty and thirteen. There's another example.

475
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: These guys are growing beards with each other. You had

476
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: the horrific Boston Marathon incident that year, right, you rallied

477
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: around the city of Boston, Right, But this team was

478
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: there for each other. They played hard. You know, there's

479
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: another one two thousand and seven. That team was so talented,

480
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: but again, they just liked being around each other. But

481
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: they were just good players too. Man, let's move on

482
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: from that part. Well, one more thing he said that

483
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: stuck out to me. He said, the whole needs to

484
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: be greater than the parts. We all know how great

485
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: of a part Raffie Devers was of a team. But

486
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: was he contributing to the whole? Yeah? But was he

487
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: doing it as best as he could?

488
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 2: No?

489
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: He was asked, how does this move improve the team?

490
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: This is interesting, hard to see on paper, but it's

491
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 1: not about the game on paper. Team needs to be functional, flexible,

492
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: and complete. I see what he's saying there, right, especially

493
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: in today's day and age, where you know you're using

494
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: so many platoon hitters, you're going to your bullpen more.

495
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: You know, starters aren't really the same as what they

496
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: used to be. I agree with that, right, I mean, yeah,

497
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: you gotta have flex ability. You also got to be

498
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: functional at the same time. Right. You got to have

499
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: parts that are working with each other, right, that are

500
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: in motion with each other like a bike. Right. He

501
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: also said that they have a young a number of

502
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: young players who are in the big leagues. Oh everyone,

503
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: if you are watching this on Nesson, I do have

504
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: to wrap it up right there. I apologize to that.

505
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: If you want to catch the rest of this, go

506
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: check it out on YouTube. Amasa Territory Nesson viewers, I'll

507
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 1: see you next time. Let's finish up here on YouTube.

508
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: We have a lot to talk about, he said. They

509
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: have a number of young players who are in the

510
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: big leagues, very excited about them. Like I said, Roman,

511
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: Anthony's batting third tonight, I don't know what else you

512
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: need you need to see there. They have full trust

513
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: in this guy. That's what it is. Right. If he

514
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: was batting fifth through six tonight, you know then yeah,

515
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: you're you're probably thinking, all right, they're still not you know,

516
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: they're not ready to really uh put him in motion. Right,

517
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: that was batting third, said the young players need more

518
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: run at a good environment. That that stuck out to

519
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: me as well. All right, obviously, you know Roman, Now

520
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: I've talked about this a couple of times. Yes, now

521
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: that d H is freed up, I've talked about this

522
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: a million times. That's why I said, Raffi moving to

523
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: first base would have been the best thing because it

524
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: would have opened. It would have opened up d H

525
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: for Roman and will you're and whatever whoever else you

526
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: know to get AB's right. So yeah, right, d H

527
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: opening up now really helps. This part stuck up to me.

528
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: It stuck out to me as well. A good environment interesting,

529
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: interesting kind of makes me wonder. I don't know did

530
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: that have anything to do was he was he throwing

531
00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:02,959
Speaker 1: a little shade maybe at Raffi right there, or just

532
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: maybe he felt like the clubhouse wasn't as strong as

533
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: it could have been. You have to remember getting back

534
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: to that twenty thirteen team. Hey, Craig Breslow, he was

535
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: a key part of that twenty thirteen postseason team. He

536
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: came up big in the postseason that year. He knew

537
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: all about what you needed to do to have a team.

538
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: Craig Breslow was a part of it. Don't remember going

539
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: into that twenty thirteen year, a lot of people were thinking, well,

540
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what this team's gonna be. Shane Victorino

541
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: coming off a bad year, Mike Napoli coming off of

542
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: you know whatever year he had a hip injury, Like,

543
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: what is this team even going to be? Right? They

544
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: had good players, but you still weren't really sold, but

545
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: they came together as a unit and they won an

546
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: incredible run, especially with it just a horrible tragedy that happened, right,

547
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: they rallied around each other. So again, getting back that line,

548
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: you know, he wants the young players to have a

549
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: good environment. I wonder what he meant by that, you know,

550
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: whether or not he meant from a player development point

551
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: of view or maybe a clubhouse energy point of view.

552
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: He goes on to say, this deal made more sense

553
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: for us than not making it. If we didn't get

554
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: the return we were holding out for, we wouldn't have

555
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: made it. Now, I'll talk about a couple other teams

556
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: that were reportedly in the mix for Raffi, but I

557
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: think obviously they wanted a team to I mean, of course,

558
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: if you're trading away a big contract, the huge goal

559
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: is to have a team take on the contract, right,

560
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay any of it. They found

561
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: a team that paid it. But at the same time,

562
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: though they understood how good of a player Rafi was,

563
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: how good of a hitter he was. So yeah, I

564
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: think they really you know, they said, okay, we'll take

565
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: a bad contract, but you know, you're gonna have to

566
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to make up for it a little

567
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: bit too. And luckily they found a team like the Giants,

568
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: who have had trouble bringing in star players over the years. Right,

569
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: They haven't been able to land a lot of these

570
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: guys in free agency. You know, Jean Carlos stan they

571
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: wanted to make a trade for him, he didn't want

572
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: to wave his no trade clause to go there. So

573
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: they saw an opportunity here where they're like, okay, all right,

574
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to take on this contract, but we

575
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: get we finally. Yes, you know you're bringing Willia Domas,

576
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: Max Chapman, Blake Snell who ended up going to the Dodgers.

577
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: You know, a big ticket guy like Raffi, who could

578
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: be your next best hitter since Barry Bonds. By the way,

579
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: I do like this move for the Giants a lot.

580
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: I think it's great, But from the Red Sox point

581
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: of view, this is your star player. You're not gonna

582
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: be letting him go easily. Even if a team takes

583
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: on the contract, you know, you still have to get

584
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: something in return. And luckily they found a Giants team

585
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 1: that is death for it to bring in talent. He

586
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: said he think this was a real interesting one that

587
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: a lot of people jumped on. He said, he thinks

588
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: there's a real chance at the end of the season

589
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 1: they win more games than they would have. A lot

590
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: of people joked about this on Twitter. Uh to me,

591
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: the the the optimistic Red Sox fan and me, you

592
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: know what, you know, I'll give him. I'll give you

593
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: my honest answer to that, whether or not you agree

594
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: with that quote or not, whether or not you think

595
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: it's crazy. You know what, I like the confidence though,

596
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, sure, do you have a chance to maybe

597
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: look pretty, you know, pretty stupid in the end. I mean, yeah,

598
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: those words can come back to bite you. But you

599
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: know what, I like the confidence. I like it. You

600
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: know you're just saying it. I think we have a

601
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: chance to win more games than you know what we were.

602
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: You know, is that gonna come true? I don't know,

603
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: But you know what, I like the confidence. I'm okay

604
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: with it. However, I will say this, if their vision

605
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: of having more roster flexibility, being able to get some

606
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: other guys into the mix with the abs again, are

607
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: you gonna be able to replace Raffi's bat with one bat? No?

608
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: You are not. But if you could possibly get other

609
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: guys here into the mix, you know, if you can

610
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: find maybe you know, a couple of bats that could

611
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: maybe make up for the loss. Right, I hate to

612
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: do this, but you bring up but I was thinking

613
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 1: earlier of Moneyball. I can't believe I'm making this comparison.

614
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: I guarantee a lot of you are just you're you're

615
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: probably clicking out of this right now. I just always think,

616
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: when they lost Jason Giambi, well, how are we going

617
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: to replace thirty eight home runs and or what was it,

618
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: thirty eight home runs and one hundred and forty rbi. Well,

619
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: you gotta, you gotta what was the line, you gotta

620
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: you gotta find it in the aggregator or however he

621
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: said it. All Right, you gotta find multiple players with

622
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: an average on base to make up for the loss

623
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: of Jason Giambi. Right, I know that sounds ridiculous, but

624
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: that's kind of getting to my point. It's not gonna

625
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: take one player. Right, You're not gonna be able to

626
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: replace thirty homers one hundred RBIs that you're gonna lose

627
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: with Rafi, But could you maybe get a couple of

628
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: guys you know that can maybe you know, get you

629
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, twenty homers drive in sixty to seventy,

630
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, whatever it may be. Can you do that? Sure?

631
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: We'll see, right. I think Roman Anthony has all the

632
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: upside in the world, you know. And that's another thing

633
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: as well. Could you maybe? I think the Red Sox

634
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: are still going to wait to see if he can throw.

635
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: But I do wonder about Masataka Yoshida. I mean, that's

636
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 1: right there, a bat that you can put in the lineup,

637
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: a guy that's not going to strike out all that much.

638
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna give you productive at bats. Could he get

639
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: back into the mix here? We'll see. It's gonna be

640
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 1: a group effort to replace RAFFI. I had people coming

641
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: at me today. I don't know what this was. I

642
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: had people today on Twitter saying to me, like, what

643
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: was it? I can't even what was it? It was?

644
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 4: Ah.

645
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: There was a report today from a National League executive

646
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: saying that this really gives the Red Sox a lot

647
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: of options here. You know, maybe they can go after

648
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: a full time first baseman like Reese Hoskins. And I

649
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: put that out there today and then someone said in

650
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 1: the comments, why would you want Reese Hoskins? Reee Hoskins?

651
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 1: You know, is he really what he is? You know

652
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: what he was a couple of years ago before he

653
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: went down with the injury. I mean no, he got

654
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: hot a little bit ago, right. His numbers don't look

655
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: amazing overall, you know. But I said, you know, it's

656
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: just interesting because I saw a lot of people over

657
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks saying, oh, Reese Hoskins, that

658
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: could be a great option for first base, right right

659
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,879
Speaker 1: handed power bat at Famiway Park. You know, I could

660
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: see his bat playing at Femway for sure. And then

661
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: like I had people saying to me, people get like

662
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: so ridiculous on Twitter, saying like, uh, Reee Hoskins is

663
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: not going to be replacing Raffi Devers. Well, duh, Obviously

664
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: Reese Hoskins is not going to replace Raffi Devers. Obviously.

665
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious, Like, oh man, that's something new. I just

666
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: learned it. Wow, I really I didn't know that. Of

667
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: course he's not going to But could you know if

668
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: the Red Size the Red Sox keep hinting, I'll get

669
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: to this part in a little bit, the Red Sox

670
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: keep hinting at looking for a long term option at

671
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: first base. They keep hinting at it in different ways.

672
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: You know, sure, Toro and Romey have been great, but

673
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: from the Red Sox point of view, I wonder what

674
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: they're thinking about it, right, I don't know, they keep

675
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: suggesting it or it keeps getting out there and reports.

676
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, like if you brought in a

677
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: guy like Reee Hoskins, I mean, obviously, no, he's not

678
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 1: going to replace Raffi, but could he, you know, someone

679
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: like him or him or whoever else be part of

680
00:36:56,160 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: the solution, part of the solution, I don't know. You

681
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 1: can have to see how things play out. But holy cow,

682
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: people are getting ridiculous about that. Goodness, gracious, it's so

683
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 1: funny how people they just you know, they get mad

684
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: at you because because they interpret what you're saying incorrectly,

685
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 1: where it's like, how about you just have a conversation

686
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: and just maybe you know, it's not my fault you

687
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: misinterpreted what I said. I don't know, whatever, it's been

688
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: a day. It's been a rough twenty eight hours here,

689
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: almost thirty hours here, moving on, we got a lot

690
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: more comments to talk about. He also brought up, you know,

691
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: he said, roster flexibility. But you know, talking about the

692
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: pitching a lot here today too, I'll say that if

693
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: the Red Sox can keep pitching, and if they can

694
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: keep finding you know, I don't say finding, but if

695
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: they can just keep up this consistency with the starting

696
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: pitching more often than not, that's really gonna help as well.

697
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: You know, you don't necessarily you know, yes, obviously so

698
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: you want to have a good offense, but if you're

699
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: getting these guys stepping up on the pitching side of things, well, hey,

700
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: run prevention is a thing too, right, You don't necessarily

701
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: have to replace Raffi with a bat or bats, but

702
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: you could also replace those wins that you lose in

703
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: other areas of the team, whether that's with the starting

704
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: pitching or with the bullpen as well. No even defense

705
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: can help you replace wins run prevention. I know that

706
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: might make me sound like a nerd, but it is

707
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,720
Speaker 1: what it is. What's the old saying, pitching and defense

708
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: wins championships. I'm just saying. He did reflect on himself

709
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 1: as well. Anything he would have done differently, he said,

710
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 1: He reflected on himself the way, you know, he's communicated,

711
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 1: said he needs to own things, needs to reflect on himself,

712
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: needs to have humility, what he can do better, but

713
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: said things would have turned out similar anyway. I thought

714
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: that was an interesting quote. I think, you know, Craig Breslo,

715
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna also get to an article here in a

716
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: little bit from June Lee. He used to be with ESPN.

717
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: I believe he's with the AHU Sports now he's an

718
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: independent writer now. I believe he had a whole article

719
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: today about the Red Sox organization, how there seems to

720
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,919
Speaker 1: be a lot of dysfunction. But from Craig, you know, yeah,

721
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: I think you could make that improvement again, you know,

722
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: RAFFI sure I think he needed to step up for

723
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: the team, but I think, you know, yeah, you could

724
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: always improve your communication and the Red Sox. I put

725
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: out a long post today of like all these dramatic

726
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: things that have happened over the years, going back to

727
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: you know, when going back to when John Henry and

728
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: Tom Warner bought the team. It just seems like it's

729
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: been just such a soap opera over the years, with

730
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: all of these just ridiculous moments over the years, including

731
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: theo Epstein in a gorilla suit, one of my favorite

732
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: stories of all time. But yeah, absolutely, there seems to

733
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: be a lack of communication. There seems to be just

734
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is the organization over the

735
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: last few years. They just don't seem to have a

736
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: clue of to operate. They don't seem to have a

737
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: clue of you know, just what is going on here, right?

738
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: And I do think honestly, success failure always trickles down

739
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: from the top. I think that needs to start with ownership.

740
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: And you can kind of just see over the years, right,

741
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: you know the Red Sox, you know, the family Sports group.

742
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: They've gotten more invested with Liverpool other ventures as well.

743
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: And when John Henry was more invested with the team,

744
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: that's when things were good. But you're seeing now an

745
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: absence of that over the last few years. You know,

746
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: funny enough, when you see John Henry come back into

747
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: the picture a little bit all of a sudden, you

748
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: know things you know, not for the whole year, but

749
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: you've seen things be better, right, and you go back

750
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:48,760
Speaker 1: to the offseason, right, Crochet Bregman obviously the wind streak

751
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: here recently, and it's just funny because you know John

752
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: Henry going back, you know, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four,

753
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: felt like he didn't really ever see the guy. He

754
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: didn't talk to anyone. And now that he's kind of

755
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: poked his head back in a little bit, you are

756
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: seeing better things. So I think that does trickle down

757
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: from the ownership. It always starts there, It always starts

758
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: at the top. And it's just funny the timing of where,

759
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, Liverpool, other things coming into play, working on

760
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: renovations or ideas for renovations outside of Fenway Park. You

761
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: can just see the effect on the Red Sox just

762
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: seems like, you know, there's a lot of times where

763
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: this organization just seems to have no clue what they're doing.

764
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. He said he needs to own things

765
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 1: that he can do better. He thinks about it all

766
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: the time. How to interact with guys, including Raffi and

767
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: other players, opportunities to communicate differently. Now, Craig Breslo, when

768
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: I watch him, he's always come off as just you know,

769
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: he's a smart guy, right, He's a very analytical guy.

770
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: It's a it's just his personality. You know, he doesn't

771
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: seem like a guy that at least on you know,

772
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: from a media spotlight and whatnot. No know, there just

773
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: seems to be a bit of stiffness with him. There

774
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: seems to be a bit of you know, closed offness

775
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:24,439
Speaker 1: a little bit. He says a lot of words where

776
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: he's not really giving you a whole lot of beef,

777
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: you know, gives you word salads a lot. But uh,

778
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm glad at least that he's looking on

779
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: himself and he's saying, you know what I need to

780
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: improve too. This came up with Raffi Devers as well,

781
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: about shopping Raffie Devers with other teams. Buster Only put

782
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: out something today and I think the guy's over at

783
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: just Baseball. They retweeted it, but it came from Buster

784
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: Posey or Buster Posey, Buster Only saying that the Red

785
00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: Sox didn't shop around Raffie Devers. I'm gonna let you

786
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: all know here, don't listen to Buster Only anymore. Just

787
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: don't he he was He was a dude back in

788
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: you know, the day, mid two thousand's, you know, twenty

789
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: tens that you know, yeah, like he had stuff. But

790
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: since then, this guy's missed a lot over recent years.

791
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what Buster only was talking about here,

792
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: but he's that report ended up being false. Chris Catillo,

793
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: Sean McAdam, who have a pulse within the Red Sox community, right,

794
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: they got the scoops. They reported today that the Padres,

795
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,239
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, and the Braves were also involved for

796
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: Raffie Devers. So Greg Breslow he also commented on this

797
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: as well. Uh, he said he saw that story and

798
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: he just said, Okay, well, whatever that means. I don't

799
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 1: know what that means, right, because obviously there were other

800
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: teams involved. To me, even when I saw that report

801
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: from Busteroli, even before Chris Catillo Sean McCadam they put

802
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 1: out their own report, that just sounded ridiculous to me

803
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: because you just look at how Greg Greig Breslow operates.

804
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: The man is so analytical. He's a number crunching machine

805
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: that went to Yale? Was it Yale? I'm going blank

806
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: on that. Do you really think he's only gonna try

807
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: and call one team. This dude was probably going through

808
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: trade proposals from the Padres, Blue Jays, Braves, Giants. Obviously,

809
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: I guarantee you this guy was studying all of it.

810
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: And do you really think he's gonna leave himself just

811
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: to one team. Do you remember the reports from this

812
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: past offseason from other executives saying how aggressive he was,

813
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: how dialed in he was, you know, how persistent he was.

814
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 1: Do you really think this guy is only gonna limit

815
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: himself to one team? Blowney buster? Only stop it, stop it,

816
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: like Joey Swoll says, you gotta do better, My goodness. Anyway, However,

817
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: Jeff Ponce of Baseball America, he said that he had

818
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 1: heard of another trade offer that John Henry vetoed because

819
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: they would have had to take back a big contract.

820
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: That's interesting. I'm very curious to see if that ever

821
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: gets out. It made me wonder, like, Okay, well we

822
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,919
Speaker 1: heard the teams Padres, Blue Jays, Braves. I thought about

823
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: the Padres, could you Darvish have been a guy? I

824
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: believe he has another year of control after this year,

825
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 1: maybe a couple more, I can't remember. I thought about

826
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, could you know Jose Barrios have been

827
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: a guy? And I think about the Braves, but they

828
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: didn't really they don't really have any bad contracts, so

829
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: I just wonder. It kind of made me think if

830
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: there was a bad you know, if they had to

831
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: take back a contract, it probably wasn't a good contract.

832
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: Someone like Jordan Hicks though, where you know, he was

833
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: on a three year deal. I believe next year is

834
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: the last year of the deal. You know, that was

835
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 1: a bit more digestible, right, And that's a guy that

836
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 1: can be a weapon at the back end of your bullpen.

837
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 1: We'll talk. Actually, that's this is the next part. Let's

838
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: get to the comments on the return players. Kyle Harrison,

839
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,959
Speaker 1: he sees him as a front half of the rotation. Guy.

840
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: I do wonder I'm gonna hold out, you know, it's

841
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 1: how do I say this? I really like Kyle Harrison

842
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: a lot. It was a guy. There was a guy

843
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: that was a top twenty five prospect on MLB pipeline

844
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago. Last year, I believe,

845
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: I believe he was number twenty three in last year's

846
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 1: Top hungred. There's a lot of upside with him, good

847
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: stuff from the left side, good v low. He was

848
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: highly tattered coming out of high school, all right, good arm.

849
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: There is a lot of upside with him. However, I

850
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: do wonder if there was another deal to be made

851
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 1: at some point, which I do think there will be.

852
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a little bit. I do

853
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: think there will be another deal, maybe even a couple.

854
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: I wonder if he could be used in another trade.

855
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: Maybe not, probably not, but he has value and I

856
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: could see teams seeing that value. So I wonder if

857
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: the Red Sox were to pull off a big trade,

858
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: would you have to include someone like him. I'm not

859
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: so sure. However, if the Red Sox end up keeping him,

860
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of potential there, especially with

861
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: the pitching development that the Red Sox have instilled within

862
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: the organization. Jordan Hicks. This was an interesting comment. He

863
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: sees Jordan Hicks as a dominant late inning reliever. Now,

864
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 1: remember Jordan Hicks. He went to the Giants, they said, hey,

865
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: we want you to start for us. Right, He's been

866
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: kind of going back and forth as a starter as

867
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,959
Speaker 1: a reliever. I said this last night as well in

868
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: the reaction shows after the trade, and that's what I think.

869
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:18,880
Speaker 1: I mean the Red Sox they got so many starting

870
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: pictures at this point. But I have said, and I

871
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: know you've all heard me say this, I've said multiple times,

872
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: I feel like the Red Sox need another high leverage guy.

873
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: At the back end of the bullpen. Sure, the bullpen

874
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: has been tremendous, but I think Hicks could be another

875
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 1: option at the back end of the bullpen or could

876
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: he be a multi inning weapon. I could see Jordan

877
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: Hicks having a big role in this bullpen. James Tibbs.

878
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: I was very excited when I saw James Tibbs come

879
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: across the screen. He realistically, if the Red Sox didn't

880
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: have Bradon Montgomery fall to them in the draft last year,

881
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: I think James James Tibbs would have been the number

882
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: twelve pick. He was rumored in a group of players

883
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: to go to the Red Sox. But the fact of

884
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they took Bradon Montgomery. If he was

885
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: off the board, well, the next best lefty bat on

886
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,200
Speaker 1: the board was Tibbs. They could have gone a couple

887
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: of different routes, you know, maybe like trey Ya Savage. Right,

888
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: he ended up going to the Blue Jays. He was

889
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: in the mix a little bit there are you know,

890
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: a couple of high school players there. But Tibbs was

891
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: being heavily mentioned with the Red Sox and I think

892
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: it's funny that they ended up getting him back He

893
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: described Tibbs having an athletic profile, makes great swing decisions,

894
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: a very good on bass guy. That's why he was

895
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: given a very good hit tool coming out of college

896
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of power upside. He saw the power

897
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: really jump up in his final year at Florida State

898
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: and now he also said here he thinks he can

899
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: excel in their player development infrastructure. The Red Sox have

900
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: always had a lot of success developing position players. I

901
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: could see someone like James TIBs having a good a

902
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: better development in the Red Sox organization. Got off to

903
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: a bit of a slow start in his pro career

904
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: with the Giants, didn't put up great numbers last year.

905
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: It is starting to come around a little bit. But

906
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, I mean, you've seen what they've been

907
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: able to do, Roman, Anthony, Christian Campbell, Marcelo Meyer just

908
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: in recent years. You know, you can look more at

909
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell, who was a later pick, you know, but

910
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 1: then you go back further. Mookie Betts was a late

911
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 1: round pick. Right. You know, all these guys right international

912
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: signing sling like Raffi's Ander. You know, they've had a

913
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: lot of success. James Tibbs absolutely, I think as a shot.

914
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: But then again, I do wonder the Red Sox, they

915
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: got a lot of left handed bats. Could that be

916
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 1: a guy that could maybe be used in another deal.

917
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: I'll say this, you know, the Red Sox, if they

918
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 1: can kind of tinker with a couple of things here

919
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: over the next week or so, maybe get him on

920
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: track a little bit more, kind of build upon the

921
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: numbers that he already had twelve home runs so far

922
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: this year. Maybe other teams can see something there and

923
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: maybe that could make him a bit more attractive, you know,

924
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to being a possible trade chip, we'll see.

925
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: And then he also thought about Jose Bao. Didn't have

926
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: much to say about him. He's an exciting young arm.

927
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: Not a lot of velocity with him right now, but

928
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: he has good secondary stuff. So in the Red Sox,

929
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: they've shown in the last year, they've gotten plenty of

930
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: bumps with velocity, you know, Peyton Toley, that's another guy

931
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: they've really built that with him, Brandon Clark as well.

932
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: Going blank on another name, Valera. Sorry I don't know

933
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,399
Speaker 1: why I was going blank on that, but they've really

934
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: built velo here over the last year, so maybe they

935
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: could do something with him. Now, this is kind of

936
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: where I tie into what I was just saying, where

937
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: these guys could maybe be trade chips. He said they

938
00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: have more resources now going into the trade deadline. I

939
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: found that very interesting, very interesting that he said that.

940
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: He also said, there is no way that this says

941
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: the Raffi trade, that it's them waving the white flag.

942
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: I said that too, right. A lot of people were thinking, oh,

943
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: they're selling. What are the Red Sox doing, they're sellers.

944
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I looked at it, as you know,

945
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: there was obviously a dysfunction, you know, a disconnect with

946
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,720
Speaker 1: a player front office happened to be your star player,

947
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: and they felt like it was best for the organization

948
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: to move on. I didn't see that as waving the

949
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: white flag. You look at Manny Ramirez. No, I'm not

950
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: comparing Manny and Raffi. That was completely different. And Manny

951
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 1: was shoving down security guards for crying out loud. Obviously

952
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: Raffi wasn't doing that. More just talking about the disconnect.

953
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: Comparing that. But they brought in Jason Bay. Everyone knew

954
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,240
Speaker 1: Manny Ramirez was better than Jason Bay, but they brought

955
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: in Bay and he ended up being very productive. Right,

956
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: so you I think you can absolutely be a competitive

957
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: team even without Raffi. I don't look at that as

958
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: waving the white flag at all, because you have a

959
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: lot of guys that could step up offensively, get some

960
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: good pitching, maybe make a couple of moves by the deadline,

961
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: and I think you still could be Okay, we'll see.

962
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 1: But he said that again, they have more resources going

963
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: into the deadline. Well, now they have more prospects to

964
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 1: work with, more young talent. They now have more money

965
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: to work with. Raffi's obviously off the books. Now the

966
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 1: Giants stuck the whole contract. Well, all of a sudden,

967
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,879
Speaker 1: they got a lot of money that they can play with. Right,

968
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of money that can be allocated here.

969
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: He did say starting pitching could be an opportunity to

970
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: continue to upgrade. I'm telling you right now, I'm looking

971
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: at will you or bray you, especially if they bring

972
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: back Yoshida. I hope they do. I hope that man

973
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,360
Speaker 1: finds his way back into the lineup. I think I

974
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 1: think Red Sox fans that would actually make them very happy,

975
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: I really do, because they know a massa Taki Yoshida

976
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: he's been kind of been given a raw deal here

977
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. Unfortunately he has gotten

978
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: hurt too. But I think that would make Red Sox

979
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 1: fans happy if he was brought back. I think that'd

980
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 1: be kind of a feel good thing. But he said

981
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: starting pitching could be upgraded. I'll tell you right now.

982
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:24,959
Speaker 1: I do think Willier could absolutely be used in a deal.

983
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: I really do, And I think you could use Willier,

984
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 1: especially now that you have more money to play with.

985
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you could go after, say a mix Keller on

986
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: the Pirates, who is on a pretty team friendly deal.

987
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,240
Speaker 1: He's making around what is it like, seventeen eighteen million

988
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: a year. That's a guy that could be a really

989
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: solid mid rotation guy for you. If Sandy all Kintara

990
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: keeps improving, could he be an option now? Obviously, Gilito Buehler,

991
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: they've had albow issues here over recent years. Do you

992
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: want to bring in another guy with elbow issues? Probably

993
00:54:57,960 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: not the best idea. Could you go after Freddy p

994
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: To with the Brewers, who has a club option for

995
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 1: next year? What is Freddy Perrault's club option for next year?

996
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: What is it? How much is that for I was

997
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: eight million bucks. That's that's nothing. Oh, that's nothing. Well whatever,

998
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: he's you know, still eight million bucks. They could use that.

999
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 1: Maybe if the Brewers were willing to deal him, maybe

1000
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: they sell high on him now like they did with

1001
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: Hater a few years ago. The point is they could

1002
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: add money if they want to.

1003
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 2: Here.

1004
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: They could bring in another salary here if they wanted to.

1005
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 1: I am looking at someone like Mixed Keller. The Pirates

1006
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: need bats maybe, right, And he also did mention that

1007
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: they needed to look for a long term solution at

1008
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: first base because Casas has a lengthy rehab from here

1009
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: on out. He says it's going to be a long process. Again,

1010
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, that kind of makes me wonder, like that,

1011
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: I think they want to bring someone in almost like yes,

1012
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,919
Speaker 1: as a guy that could maybe take over every day

1013
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,759
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, but also as insurance

1014
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: if Cassas has complications coming back. Right. So that's why

1015
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,319
Speaker 1: I wonder if you know, if someone like Hoskins could

1016
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: be available, And obviously he's he's on a salary, right,

1017
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 1: He's making a lot of money. So someone like him

1018
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 1: or a rental Ryan O'Hearn in division trade, Josh Naylor,

1019
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: right one of those guys. You know, I wonder if

1020
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: they could go after one of these guys before I

1021
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,280
Speaker 1: get to Sam Kennedy. Before I get to Sam Kennedy,

1022
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 1: we do have one more word from our sponsor, and

1023
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 1: I promise that'll be it for the night. But we'll

1024
00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: be right.

1025
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 2: Back by Now.

1026
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 3: You know that Hello Fresh is America's number one meal

1027

Speaker 3: me to describe some of the recent meal that are

1030

Speaker 3: Sun dried tomato, grilled cheese sandos that was easy, panco

1033
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 3: crusted chimmy cherry barral MUNDI.

Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to the Sam Kennedy comments. It is late.

1052
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: It is one twenty in the morning. Oh I am

1053
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: so tired. I am so tired. Let's get through these

1054
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. I'm again thank you all for coming out

1055
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: here tonight. I do appreciate I see a lot of

1056
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 1: you in the chat. Moose you're saying here. Bryce Harper

1057
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: would be great, Moose, I love you, my friend. I

1058
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 1: love you dearly. But the Phillies are not trading Bryce Harper.

1059
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: They're not going to do what the Red Sox did

1060
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 1: with RAPPI tevers. I promise you that, Yes, I agree,

1061
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: Bryce Harper would be amazing, but that's not happening. That's

1062
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: not happening. To goat When should we expect Jordan Hicks

1063
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,919
Speaker 1: and Kyle Harrison to be on the roster. I could.

1064
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks is on the IL right now with a

1065
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: foot issue, so I guess you could see him in

1066
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks or so. Kyle Harrison, I

1067
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: don't think there's really a rush to bring him up.

1068
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 1: I think second half at some point. I mean, they

1069
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: already have a lot of starting pitching. Carter Crawford's going

1070
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: to be making his way back soon, you know, so,

1071
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: Kyle Harrison, I don't think you really maybe even need

1072
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: to see him until you know, later on if you

1073
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: need to skip a star or whatever it may be,

1074
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,439
Speaker 1: and then maybe you can get get a call up there.

1075
00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: And then they don't forget. They got Richard Fitz. You know,

1076
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys. So I don't know.

1077
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: Man Corbyn, do you think they go after Pete in

1078
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: the off season? Hmmm hmm. I don't know. I think

1079
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox popped up at one point.

1080
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: I think they connected with Pete Alonso in the off

1081
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: season at one point. I don't know. I mean, I agree,

1082
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I see you in the chat. Pete would

1083
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: be great at Femway. Maybe Rake fifty Homers, I mean,

1084
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 1: holy cow, got would be a monster at Femway Park.

1085
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe we'll see. We'll see.

1086
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 2: Uh.

1087
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 1: It kind of makes you wish if the Mets weren't

1088
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: very good, then they they could make him trade for

1089
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: Pete Azo. That'd be amazing. Uh, let's get to Sam Kennedy.

1090
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through these ones pretty coo. He didn't

1091
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: really have a lot to say. He did use one

1092
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: word a lot, the word alignment. I felt like he

1093
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: said that like a million times. He definitely tried to

1094
01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: push that point home. He said he's forever grateful for

1095
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Raffi's contributions. The decision was not taken lightly. He wished

1096
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: Raffi well, said blame is to go all around. They

1097
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: couldn't find alignment with Raffi, though, said they reached an

1098
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: inflection point. They acted boldly and decisively. He thinks the

1099
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: deal benefits them in the short term and the long term.

1100
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: And again I could see their thinking behind that. Not

1101
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 1: trying to sound like a Red Sox homer, but I'm

1102
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: looking at it from their perspective, where again it's opening

1103
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: up AB's right for these next this next wave of

1104
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: talented young players. Right, it does open that up. And

1105
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: then I mean it opens up a ton of possibilities

1106
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 1: for the future. I mean after this year, I mean,

1107
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 1: you have a comple deletely clean slate. You know, he

1108
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 1: said in the end, it was clear they couldn't find

1109
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 1: alignment with Raffi. It's the truth again. I think they tried.

1110
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Man This is a Red Sox team where they've put

1111
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: up with a lot of stuff in the past. You know,

1112
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: you go back to Manny, you know, you go back

1113
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 1: to the Pablo Sandoval, you go back to all that

1114
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: Bobby Valentine right There's they have put up with a

1115
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: lot of stuff over the years. So I guarantee they

1116
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: really wanted to make this work with Raffi. However, you know,

1117
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: you think back to the last few years here, Raffi

1118
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: doesn't really like talking to the media all that much.

1119
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't really you know, Chris Catillo, he talked about

1120
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: this on Foul Territory today. But you know, I've known

1121
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: this too, where he hasn't really wanted to go out

1122
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: there and do any kind of you know, sponsor things,

1123
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: or commercial things or photo ops for the Red Sox

1124
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 1: or any kind of advertisement opportunities. But you expect that,

1125
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: you expect that from your guy, right look at Bryce

1126
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Harper with the Phillies, Aaron Judges with the Yankees. So

1127
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: when you're the highest paid player, like, yeah, I appreciate

1128
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: that you want to go out there and just play

1129
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: some baseball. But when you're getting paid that much money,

1130
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: you aren't naturally going to have a higher expectation. But

1131
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: of course, really I think the big thing was that

1132
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: he didn't want to be flexible for the team. Said

1133
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 1: they worked at it for the last several months. I

1134
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: do believe that Cora Craig, John Henry John Henry flew

1135
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 1: to Kansas City. Obviously that didn't do anything. He said

1136
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: that he was missing the best interests of the ball

1137
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: club and he said that's a non starter for them.

1138
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: Needs to be a two way street again, Yeah, I

1139
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: mean the Red Sox, they need to improve their communication.

1140
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 1: But Raffi, in the end, it's not that he didn't

1141
01:02:57,800 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: want to step up. Here's the thing, and this is

1142
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 1: what I see a lot of people say. I see

1143
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people say this Raffi was being jerked

1144
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,919
Speaker 1: around by the organization, right, you know, it wasn't being

1145
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: communicated with properly. But you know what, sure that's true, right,

1146
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:21,640
Speaker 1: You're you're on the right track with that, But you're

1147
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: not stepping up for your teammates. You have twenty five

1148
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: other guys in there right where. These guys want to win.

1149
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 1: They're competitive, they're there to win baseball games. And when

1150
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: you move to first base, that could help you add

1151
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: another bat into the lineup. So sure, whatever, say what

1152
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: you want about Red Sox ownership and the front office. Fine,

1153
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 1: but you're letting your teammates down. That's what I don't

1154
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: you know. I see so many people. I guarantee someone

1155
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: is going to come into the comments after this and

1156
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna say, Oh, Robbie's just a Red Sox homer.

1157
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: He's ridiculous. I'm tired. I gotta go to bed. He

1158
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: did bring up Kansas City. He did bring up that meeting,

1159
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: said they had an honest conversation, but they couldn't find

1160
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: a shared vision. He walked away from it feeling Raffi

1161
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: was more dug in than ever. He did talk about

1162
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: as well. He went on the Nessen pregame last week

1163
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: and he was asked like, Hey, do you think Rafi's

1164
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: gonna pick up a glove? And he did say like, yeah,

1165
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 1: you know, if the team is expecting you know, him

1166
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 1: to play some defense then he thinks he will. He

1167
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 1: did say he was being overly optimistic with that and

1168
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 1: that was his fault. Let's get to some of the

1169
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: former players here. Former players. This is where it really

1170
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: kind of started grinding my gears a little bit. I

1171
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: couldn't believe this one. David Ortiz said he tried contacting

1172
01:04:56,800 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: Raffi a ton of times, but he never got back

1173
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: to him. What David Ortiz the arguably the you know,

1174
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: the greatest hitter ever for the Red Sox up there

1175
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: with legends like Ted Williams. You're not going to return

1176
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: a call to David Ortiz or a text. Are you

1177
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: out of your mind? Rafi?

1178
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 2: What?

1179
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: That's bonkers man? And I'm gonna be honest with you.

1180
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: That says a lot to me. That says a lot that,

1181
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, whatever. You could have your feelings about the organization,

1182
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: the front office, but David Ortiz, that's crazy. I don't

1183
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: know about that one. David Ortiz said, there's players that

1184
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: think they're bigger than the game. What he asks a question,

1185
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: what company pays you to do whatever you want? Guarantee

1186
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: someone's gonna find a new poll in that too. Guarantee

1187
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: someone's gonna bring up a contradiction in that too. Nope,

1188
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: he's right. Companies aren't paying you three hundred million fricking

1189
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 1: dollars to do whatever you want. Yeah, you're a face

1190
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: of the Red Sox, the Red Sox, the team that's

1191
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: on the front of your jersey. He said, it's a business.

1192
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: It's not your house. I don't know, Sonny, I see

1193
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: you in the chat. It doesn't help with the language barrier. Well,

1194
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm seeing Ronald A. Kuny Junior here in the last

1195
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: couple of days speaking English without his translator. He's always

1196
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: had his trans Later, now Ronald Kuny Junior, he's speaking

1197
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 1: English with the media. I don't know. That's just me.

1198
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 1: Papal Bond tweeted out today that it's all about the team.

1199
01:06:57,600 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Millar has set him recent weeks. It's all about

1200
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: the team, Manny or Miras. He was also on that

1201
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 1: podcast today with David Ortiz said, it's all about the team.

1202
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: They all come from that twenty four team. And it's

1203
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:18,520
Speaker 1: even funnier that it's coming from Manny. For Manny, I

1204
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: mean the guy that was it was the Manny being

1205
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: Manny show, right, So I did find that one a

1206
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 1: little surprising, but it is funny that it comes from

1207
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: even Manny saying at one point, Manny, I think was

1208
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: a good teammate, right. Players probably wanted to freakin just

1209
01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: just go to town on this guy. I think shrot

1210
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: Nixon even said something a couple of times. Kevin Malar

1211
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: had to hold him back. I think I don't know.

1212
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: Other players on the Red Sox talked about this. Jaron

1213
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 1: Durant talked about this that he was shocked when he

1214
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: saw Raffi getting off the plane, but he did say

1215
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: that it's one of twenty six feels they have a

1216
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: good team and that's the way they're looking at the

1217
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:13,920
Speaker 1: front office. Garrett crochet I thought this one spoke. Volumes

1218
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: said it was a tough blow, shocking, but it's time

1219
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: to move on. Focused on moving forward as a group. Hmm.

1220
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: I thought that was interesting as a group could that

1221
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: had been a little shade. Front office doesn't know the players,

1222
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: he said, The front office does not owe the players

1223
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,720
Speaker 1: in explanation. I saw a lot of people making just

1224
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: ridiculous comments on that too, saying, oh, yeah, you're just

1225
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, you're just selling out for the ownership, and

1226
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: those people are the same ones. They would never say

1227
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: anything about their boss at work, So it's so funny.

1228
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: I think this says to me that I think a

1229
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 1: lot of the players saw this whole thing as a distraction,

1230
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:02,759
Speaker 1: whether or not. You know, they they probably liked Rafi.

1231
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it was anything wrong from a personal

1232
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: point of view, but I think they you know, even

1233
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: if they liked raf, they probably still saw it as

1234
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: a distraction. It was something in the air. In the end,

1235
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: it's a business. You have to act professional. They're signing

1236
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:25,840
Speaker 1: your paychecks, simple as that. June Lee. Last story of

1237
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: the night. Very long show here tonight, ladies and gentlemen.

1238
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 1: I promise you it is not always like this. We

1239
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 1: usually just talk about the game and that's it. But

1240
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot to dive into here. Last thing, though,

1241
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 1: I promise, I want to go to sleep. June Lee.

1242
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: He used to be with ESPN, now with the Yahoo Sports.

1243
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: I believed he detailed dysfunction within the organization. He did

1244
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:52,759
Speaker 1: bring up a story where there was a zoom call

1245
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox scouting director Craig Mosch. I sorry

1246
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 1: if I'm mispronouncing that. He said that Craig mosh thought

1247
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:09,720
Speaker 1: the call had ended and then but he had a

1248
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 1: hot mic still on, and then he said out loud,

1249
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: thanks brev Or, thanks Brez, you efing stiff. He was

1250
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: proceeded to be fired. But that kind of gets into Gregor.

1251
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: I agree, it's kind of how he is. He has

1252
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: a very stiff mentality and another executives around baseball they

1253
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 1: view him as robotic that he lacks feel he does

1254
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: give me that. You know, I think Greg Breslow is

1255
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: a good person. I mean, does he communicate his best

1256
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 1: with the people around him. Well, I don't know. I

1257
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: don't work with him on a daily basis, but from

1258
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: what other people are saying, you know, he does. It's

1259
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 1: he try. It seems like he just tried to avoid

1260
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 1: the media at all costs. Hein Bloom is very open

1261
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:08,000
Speaker 1: to talking to the media. But yeah, Craig, I think

1262
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 1: that's a fair assessment. I think he is stiff. I

1263
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 1: think he is. He's definitely introverted. You can see that

1264
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 1: there's definitely there is definitely. I think I think that

1265
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: is true. I think that is true, but I think

1266
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: it really is because he just seems like an introverted person.

1267
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: Also from that article, this was another one. This was

1268
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:40,640
Speaker 1: another one about Raffi. This was like again, like what

1269
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: like not returning David Ortiz's texts or phone calls? And

1270
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 1: then this one. Raffi didn't like that Christian Campbell volunteered

1271
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 1: to play first base. He interpreted it as a slight

1272
01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:07,799
Speaker 1: to his character. Well, see you later, RAFFI, see you later. Sorry,

1273
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, but when another guy is trying to help

1274
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 1: out the team, you're gonna get mad because someone wants

1275
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 1: to help out the team, a rookie, you take that

1276
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: as a slight to your character. I don't know, sounds

1277
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: a little maybe selfish, a little self centered if you

1278
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,600
Speaker 1: ask me, you got mad because someone else wanted to

1279
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: try and help the team, A young guy trying to

1280
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: put his stamp on the team, who just got a

1281
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: life changing contract from the Red Sox. I think that's

1282
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: the big difference right there. Christian Campbell just got a

1283
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: life altering, big time contract and he was willing to

1284
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: step up for the team. Raffi's getting paid what three

1285
01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 1: times as much as Christian Campbell, but he didn't want

1286
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 1: to think that says a lot right there. And the

1287
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 1: fact that Raffi got mad at that, Listen, I know

1288
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:11,800
Speaker 1: Raffi's a good player. But sorry, man, I don't think

1289
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: that belongs in a clubhouse. If that's true. If that's true, Jill,

1290
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: this is not This is not Raffi bashing. We're just

1291
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: talking facts. We're talking uh, we're talking reports. At the

1292
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: end of the day, I don't think you should be

1293
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 1: getting mad at a teammate that just wants to help

1294
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: the team. If you disagree, I don't think that's Raffi bashing.

1295
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't think that's at all. I think that's just

1296
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,479
Speaker 1: calling it like it is. You can't get mad at

1297
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 1: someone that just wants to help out. That's just me.

1298
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, it is what it is. But yeah,

1299
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, Coffin Gang, you know it's a hit piece.

1300
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: I agree, And I said this yesterday. I said this

1301
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: yesterday where yeah, you're gonna have a lot of stuff

1302
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: come out. You are, and you're gonna keep seeing more, right,

1303
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: You're gonna keep seeing more. But listen, I don't know, man,

1304
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:04,960
Speaker 1: that's very uh, that's very specific. And I don't know, man,

1305
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you're just pulling that out of nowhere.

1306
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: That's just me. There's a lot to dive into here tonight.

1307
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: I am extremely tired. Uh, you know, I mean, yeah, Jill,

1308
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: You're right, I don't know what's true or not. But again,

1309
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: when I look at like specific little details from you know,

1310
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:30,400
Speaker 1: from something like that, just seems a little a little

1311
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: tough to maybe just make that up. You know, I

1312
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: don't know. If it's not true, then well shame on

1313
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: whoever gave that report. I'll say that again. You know,

1314
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: you never know, right, I will say if it is true, though,

1315
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 1: that's not good, right, you can't do that. If it

1316
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: is that's just not acceptable. However, there's always a chance

1317
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 1: it's not fully accurate. I will say that, everybody. I'm

1318
01:15:04,439 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: out of here. I'm so tired. I'm probably sounding like

1319
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: I'm extra grumpy here, but it is way past my bedtime.

1320
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: It is one forty in the morning. I am falling

1321
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: off a cliff right now. Everybody. We'll be back here

1322
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,559
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, and we're just gonna have a nice postgame tomorrow.

1323
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Nothing crazy, not all these comments, not all these different

1324
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: things to talk about here with Raffi. Let's just start

1325
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,719
Speaker 1: focusing on the Red Sox here. You know, we're gonna

1326
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 1: have more Raffi stuff coming out. We're gonna have more

1327
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 1: of this you're gonna have again. You're gonna have more

1328
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: of these hit piece kind of things. It's just how

1329
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 1: it works with the Red Sox. It's just always been

1330
01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: that way. I'm just ready to move on. I'm ready

1331
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: to turn the page. But the game here tonight a

1332
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 1: lot of positives from it, had a good feeling about it.

1333
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:58,000
Speaker 1: Let's end this on a positive note. Something feels like

1334
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 1: it's in the air with this Red size team. Feels

1335
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: like you got a fresh start, a clean slate. You

1336
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: got off to a good start here in the new era.

1337
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:10,040
Speaker 1: Six great wins, eight out of ten in your last

1338
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:12,719
Speaker 1: or you've won eight out of your last ten games,

1339
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: two games above five hundred and I think the Red Sox,

1340
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: I haven't even mentioned this at all. I think they're

1341
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:22,760
Speaker 1: right there for a playoff spot. I think they're in

1342
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:24,800
Speaker 1: the midd I think they have a wildcard spot right now.

1343
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: So that's good, all right, everybody, I'm tired. Thank you

1344
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:30,960
