1
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: Welcome the Massa Territory, everybody. Brought to you by the

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Foul Territory Network. Red Sox lose on another walk off

3
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: today to the Milwaukee Brewers, final score six to five.

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: They are now twenty seven to thirty one on the year,

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: the most games under five Hungred all year at this point.

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Last year they were twenty nine and twenty nine. I'm

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna be very honest with you, and I'm really not

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: even trying to be dramatic here. I might come off

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: that way here, but this might have been the worst

10
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: loss I've ever seen. I'm not even kidding. I've watched

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: a lot of Red Sox games over the years. There's

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: been a lot of bad ones, for sure, but this

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: one there was something different about this one. This one

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: just felt like this team just doesn't have it. This

15
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: seemed like a team that was not ready to be contenders.

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: The mistakes today or through the roof, there were so

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: many of them, I mean in just key situations as well,

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: in key moments. No disrespect of the Brewers here. They

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: won this game today, they battled today, but I feel

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: like the Red Sox lost this one more than the

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: Brewers won it. Again, the Brewers. They did a great job,

22
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: but the Red Sox had plenty of opportunities in this

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: one to put themselves ahead and put themselves in good positions.

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: I can't remember a time. I'm sure there is, I'm

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: sure there are many moments, but I honestly can't think

26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: of a time where they made this many mistakes in

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: key parts of the game that ended up shooting themselves

28
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: in the foot. This was an ugly loss today. This

29
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: is an embarrassing loss today, and it honestly makes me

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: wonder are changes coming? Are they going to make some

31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: moves here? Are they going to make some adjustments either

32
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: to the roster or to the coaching staff or whatever

33
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: it may be. Because you got to remember it. Now,

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: Let's say this was happening last year, right, that was

35
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: a team We're coming into the year. You know, you

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: were thinking, all right, let's see what this team can do.

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: If we compete great, If not, all right, it's not

38
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: the end of the world. They didn't feel like they

39
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: were fully there yet as an organization, but coming into

40
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: this year they felt ready. They made some big moves

41
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: this offseason, Alex Bregman bringing in Garre Crochet, making other

42
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: signings like Walker Buller or Roldis Chapman, Justin Wilson. The

43
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: list goes on big offseason prospects right at to graduate. Again,

44
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: you don't want, you don't want to fully lean onto

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: the prospects. But they were in a good spot to

46
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: be able to contribute to a team that already had

47
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: enough talent. It's unfortunate that Alex Bregman goes down, but

48
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: this is a team that I feel like should still

49
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: be able to put wins on the board. And they're

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: not Yariet and they're not there yet. So expectations with

51
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: this team. Is there going to be some urgency here?

52
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: We got a day off tomorrow. I honestly feel like,

53
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: honestly feel like there is something about tomorrow. And maybe

54
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm overthinking it, maybe I'm over dramatizing it, But if

55
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: there's ever a time to make some changes, Tomorrow's off

56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: day feels like it. I don't know what those changes

57
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: are going to be. Who knows. I'll get into that,

58
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: I'll go over what could maybe happen tomorrow. I don't know.

59
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: Because the Red Sox at this point, you got one

60
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: more series against the Braves until you go into June.

61
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: I feel like you can't go into June with the

62
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: status quo. I feel like you have to do something.

63
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: And if you don't do anything, what are you doing

64
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: as an organization? What are you doing as a team

65
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: that had sites on being contenders this year for a

66
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: team that many people were picking, you know, to get

67
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, to make a run of the playoffs

68
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: and maybe even get to the World Series. In a

69
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: wide open American league, there needs to be some murgency.

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: And I'm very interested in what could happen tomorrow, So

71
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: go over some options. Craig Breslo did talk about Roman

72
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: Anthony today. We'll talk about that, Alex Cora, Christian Campbell

73
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: first base maybe in Atlanta this weekend. We'll talk about

74
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: that as well, and we'll also preview the Atlanta Braves

75
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: series coming up. But everybody, before I do go on,

76
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: we do have some bills to pay, and we got

77
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: to talk about today's sponsor. Krats.

78
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: My pupp was picky not anymore with Spot and Tango

79
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: unkibble and it is about forty percent less expensive than

80
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: frozen food. So we're saving in the wallet and we're

81
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: making our pups happier.

82
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: Let's go apples to apples. I'm not cheap, but I

83
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: don't want to waste my money on something that's good

84
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: for my dog. This is perfect.

85
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they are very excited, both Bella Kratz's pup and Penelope,

86
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: my little pup. Four spot and Tango. You can get

87
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: your pup excited too, and there's no more guessing how

88
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 2: much to feed your dog either. Spotent Tango creates a

89
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: custom plan based on your dog's age, weight, breed, and

90
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: activity level. It's a nice little survey, so upgrade your

00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: pets bowl with spotent Tango unkibble for a limited time.

97
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to it, shall we. First topic

98
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: of the day, mistakes galore. Let's break this down. There's

99
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: a lot to break down here. Let's go to the

100
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: first inning, runners in scoring position left again. It's one

101
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: of these things where the Red Sox they can start well,

102
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: but they just can't seem to finish the job, and

103
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: I feel like this happens a lot in first innings.

104
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go look up some numbers with

105
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: the Red Sox in the first inning, but it feels

106
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: like this keeps happening, right, Duran got the base hit,

107
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: Rafi with the walk, couple of runners on, but William

108
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Marcello Meyer with the strikeout, so guard walking to load

109
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: the base, but then Trevor Story with the pop out.

110
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: He will be included in the conversation later when it

111
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: comes to changes. This at bat, it infuriated me a

112
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: little bit. He took a fastball inside for ball one,

113
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: good take right, a little inside, a little high. But

114
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: then on the second pitch, another fastball inside, a little

115
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: better than the first one, but still inside, and he

116
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: swings and pops it up. I don't get that. But

117
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: huge opportunity wasted. Second inning. You had some good things happening, right,

118
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Seti making it one nothing we're going to talk about,

119
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: SETI hearing just a little bit. Overall, he had himself

120
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: a pretty very good game today, not even a pretty

121
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: good game, I'd say a very good game on the

122
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: offensive side of things, right, at least with the bat.

123
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the base running in just a little bit.

124
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: But that one thing with Seti today, that is what people,

125
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: I think are going to remember about this one. But

126
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: he did have the home run to make it one nothing,

127
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: Duran Raffi. They ended up getting on. But then will

128
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: you're with another K second inning or no, sorry, third inning?

129
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Here Jake Bowers with a home run, tying it up

130
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: one to one off of Brian Bayo. Fourth inning. Hand

131
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: me with the K Wong SETI, my goodness, Connor Wong

132
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: came up with a base hit. Miracles can happen, ladies

133
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. But they both get on. Duran had the

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: base hit, And here is what I'm talking about with

135
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: Sadame Rafaela. This is the first big mistake of the day.

136
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I was stunned.

137
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe what was happening before my eyes on

138
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: the base hit. SETI rounded second to go to third.

139
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: Little did he know that Connor Wong was still a

140
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: third base. Connor Wong did not go home. SETI did

141
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: not pick up his eyes to see what was right

142
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: in front of him. He looks up and then all,

143
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: my goodness, Connor Wong is sitting right there and he

144
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: just stands there and he gets tagged. Obviously, probably a

145
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing moment for him and an awful moment because well,

146
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: let's get to the next thing. Raffi, thank goodness, came

147
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: through there with a base hit, made a three to one.

148
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: But you got to think, could this have been a

149
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: four to one lead, could this have been a five

150
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: to one lead? Who knows, Maybe this could have led

151
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: to a lot of other things. But today Rafaela, again,

152
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: while he did have a good day at the plate, today,

153
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: he really hurt his team here. I mean, this was

154
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: a as gut wrenching of a mistake as you could

155
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: have had. Right, It felt like the air got let

156
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: out of the room at that point. Again, Raffi didn't,

157
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, pick him up there, But it could have

158
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: been a much better inning. Fifth inning. Here's another interesting one.

159
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: Jake Bowers with a walk, Joey r Teez with the

160
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: sack bunt. Jaan Duran had a line or hit to

161
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: him and then he dropped it. It made me It's

162
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: so funny because I think back to you know, when

163
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: I used to play listen. I wasn't any great by

164
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: any means. But my coach coaches would be read in

165
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: the face screaming of you if you didn't have two hands,

166
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: or if you didn't catch ball with two hands. I

167
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: had coaches get so annoyed to the point where they'd

168
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: make us run laps, or as they like to call it,

169
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: they make us run polls. Jared Dran, you know, just

170
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: a ball. Sure, maybe it knuckled a little bit, maybe

171
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: it was spinning a little differently, but that's all. You

172
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: just have to catch. This basically ended Brian Beao's day

173
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: for the most part. Another four and two thirds innings

174
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: for Brian Bao, seventy seven pitches. But I'll say this,

175
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: I don't really think that's on Brian Bayo all that much.

176
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: He looked a lot better today. The one difference with

177
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: Brian Bao today he worked from the stretch. He wasn't

178
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: pitching from the wind up. And I've been speculating about this.

179
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: I've been wondering the last couple of starts is there's

180
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: been something mechanically going on with Brian Bayo. And anytime

181
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: a picture works from the stretch, that usually signals to

182
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: me that there's a something mechanic going on there. Right,

183
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: they're just trying to simplify things. And he looked better today. Right.

184
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: He was around the strike zone a lot more, you know.

185
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: Sure he wasn't you know, getting as many strikeouts, but

186
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: there is a guy who was pitching the contact. He

187
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: was pounding the zone more often. He was just closer

188
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: to the zone throughout the day. But I'll tell you this,

189
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: if Jaron Duran makes that catch, I think there's a

190
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: good chance you end up seeing Brian Bayo absolutely go

191
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: five innings. But then I think you could even see

192
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: him go six. Why not at that point it was

193
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: at seventy seven pictures, So I think Jaron Duran not

194
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: only did he just hurt his team right from a

195
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: run prevention point of view, but he kind of screwed

196
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: over Brian Bao there because ou k Malex Korra eventually,

197
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: and again I understood the move here to pull Brian

198
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: Bayo because right runs have been hard to come by

199
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: as of late, and you know you're trying to keep

200
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: this game as close as possible. And yeah, you bring

201
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: in the lefty to face Christian Yeleck, you're bringing Brennan Bernardino.

202
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: I understand the move, but is this going to be

203
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: another one of those core decisions where you look back

204
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: and you ask yourself, should we have just left Brian

205
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Beao in the game. I get it from a match

206
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: up point of view, and you're trying to keep the

207
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: game close, and you know Yelis had seen him a

208
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: couple of times up to that point. But again, do

209
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: you just ride with your guy? But I can also

210
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: see the point of view where Brian Bao he's just

211
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: been very unreliable in the last couple of starts, but

212
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: he did look better here. I don't know. I think

213
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: that's going to be something where people look back on

214
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: it and they questioned it a little bit. I see

215
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: you in the chat. Do you think firing Alex Core

216
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: is the move? I'm gonna get to that in just

217
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: a little bit, so stay tuned. Six inning, Hunter Dobbins

218
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: came in, and this is where I was, in a

219
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: way kind of okay with taking Bao out. I think

220
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: there is room for a discussion. There room for debate

221
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: whether or not he should have stayed in. But the

222
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: one thing the Red Sox knew they had was Hunter

223
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: Dobbins that could come in, you know, for a couple

224
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: of innings. Right moving into the long relief role. But

225
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: immediately you could see he didn't look very comfortable. Right.

226
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: This is the first appearance out of the bullpen for

227
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: Hunter Dobbins, Uh, first time coming in from the bullpen,

228
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, and he just didn't look like he didn't

229
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: look right right from the get go, had command issues.

230
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: He walked in Treis Freelick, Boston College's own Salve Frielick,

231
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: nesson are you listening? Uh? Salth Frielick with the base

232
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: head ended up tagging up to second on a fly

233
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: ball on out to SETI in center field the Brewer.

234
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: He was called out, but the Brewers challenged it ended

235
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,599
Speaker 1: up being ruled safe, and then Caleb Durbin with the

236
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: double to take the lead. The Hunter Dobbins coffing it

237
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: up there seventh inning, Will you or bray you? Coming

238
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: up with a big spot? Feel like, wait, will your

239
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: had all these big moments at the beginning of the year,

240
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: and just lately it feels like this just hasn't really

241
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: been all that much, but came through the big time

242
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: home run here to tie it up at four eighth inning.

243
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Here's another opportunity wasted. So guard hit by pitch story

244
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: actually doing something here laying down the sack. Bun I

245
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: actually liked that. Hey, whatever you got to do to

246
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: get the job done. Move so Guard up. But then

247
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: Hamilton and Toro striking out. Bottom of the eighth, Durban Caleb,

248
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: Durban man, this guy had a good game today. Another

249
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: double Duran making up for the drop ball with a

250
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: good catch off of Joey Ortiz. Ninth inning, got a

251
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: couple of runners on, so Guard strikes out. Another wasted opportunity.

252
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: Tenth thinning, you get the ghost runner. So Guard at

253
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: second story with a base hit Hamilton with a force out,

254
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: but he beat out the ground at to first base

255
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: that ended up scoring the run, making it five to four.

256
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: Carlo Servia Seti striking out with the runners on or

257
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: the runner on second. Another wasted opportunity. Bottom of the tenth,

258
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: south Freelick with a base hit Boston College, his own

259
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: South Freelick collins with the ground or to Christian Cambell

260
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: and you all know where this is going bad throw

261
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: home again. You know, it's one of these things. I

262
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: get it. You know, rookies are going to have their

263
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: growing pains, but it's kind of one of those things.

264
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: It's like why and here's the thing. I feel terrible

265
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: for Christian Campbell. I really do, I really do. You know,

266
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: I think the guy is gonna have a great career.

267
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: You know, I interviewed him in Tampa. Such a nice

268
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: guy man, and you know, like when I go when

269
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: I think back to that, you know, he got done

270
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: with his VP and he asked him before BP if

271
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: he had a couple of minutes. He said he had

272
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: to take BP, and he didn't forget about me. He

273
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: came running over. He's a good guy. I see a

274
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: guy with a good head on his shoulders, and I

275
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: feel terrible for him. You know, it was just a

276
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: mental mistake, and I'm sure he's not going to make

277
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: that mistake again. But he threw it home. It was

278
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: a bad play. You know, you had the double play

279
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: right there, even if you had just gone to first

280
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean at that point. But that's again, you're gonna

281
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: have these growing pains, right, especially defensively, especially for a

282
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: guy who's trying to find his position right now, right

283
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: And I can hear the argument too well, maybe you

284
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: shouldn't keep moving this guy around. Maybe he shouldn't be

285
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: playing at first base, Maybe he shouldn't be playing out

286
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: in center fields some days, right, I could see the

287
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: argument there in the end, you gotta get the job

288
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: done right, And this is kind of where I look

289
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: at it, and you know, you just just so many

290
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: times where the team just didn't look ready. And also

291
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: getting back to the South Frielic base hit, let's get

292
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: back to that for a second. Let's get back to that.

293
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Justin Slayton slow off the mound. You got to get

294
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: to that. I mean, here's the thing, right, Marcella Meyer.

295
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: Go back to the game yesterday, Marcella Meyer trying to

296
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: tag up from second to third base on Freelick, who

297
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: has a good arm, and then today you don't, you

298
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: don't think to get off the mound a little quicker

299
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: to get to first base. Why is South Boston College

300
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: his own South Freelick? Why is this guy getting overlooked?

301
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm not understanding that. I loved South Frielich coming out

302
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: of the draft back in twenty twenty one. If the

303
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: Red Sox had ended up with him in that draft,

304
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: maybe not at the number four pick, but they were

305
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: connected with him in that draft. I really liked him

306
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: as a player coming out of college. Just a game

307
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: or kind of a guy, but a guy that, in

308
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: my opinion, gets a bit overlooked. Right, He's an undersized player,

309
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: but gives me those Purdroia vibes a little bit, but

310
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: again overlooked in this series, and he came up in

311
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: big spots, good defense, good hustle, justin Slayton got to

312
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: be better about that, and then Durwin with the sack

313
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: flight to end the game six to five. Postgame, Alex

314
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: Korra just saying it, frankly said they didn't play well today. Well,

315
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: I can't argue that are there changes to be made? Listen, everybody,

316
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm the way I like to approach things. I'm not

317
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: one of those where I'm gonna jump to conclusions. I'm

318
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: always someone that you gotta you gotta let things play

319
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: out a little bit. You gotta let things just happen.

320
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: You gotta let things marinate sometimes. And you know, I'm

321
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: one of those where I'm thinking, no, it's just way

322
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: too soon to get rid of Alex Kra. You know.

323
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: And people are going to ask this, right, they're again

324
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: four games under five, hungured, a team with expectations. People

325
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: are going to start asking this. They already have been

326
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: asking this, right, You're seeing this conversation come up a lot,

327
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: but you just ask yourself. Let's get away from Cora

328
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: for a second. Let me get back to that simply.

329
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: But does this team have it? They're four and six

330
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: and extraining losses, six and fifteen and one run losses.

331
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm a pretty simple guy. I look

332
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: at something like that and I see a team that's

333
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: not able to come up with clutch moments. I'm seeing

334
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: a team that can't seem to hang in there in

335
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: the close games, those close games, those extraining games, those

336
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: nail biers. That says a lot about teams that know

337
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: how to get the job done in tight six situations,

338
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: right when the pressure was up and you're breathing a

339
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: little heavier, but you're able to stay cool in those moments,

340
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: and you're able to know your job in those moments

341
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: and get the job done. This team isn't showing that.

342
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: I know it might be a simple way to look

343
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: at things, but I'm seeing six and fifteen and one

344
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: run losses, and I'm seeing a team that's not getting

345
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: the job done in those moments, making critical mistakes at

346
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: critical times. It's not even just that you're not able

347
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: to come through of things. It's that you're making mistakes

348
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: at the worst possible times when you need you can't

349
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: afford to have an error, and then you end up

350
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: making the silliest errors. That to me, says a lot

351
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: about a team. I don't know, man, I see you

352
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: in the chat, Bradley. I remember the eighties and nineties,

353
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: so I definitely remember worse spells and games. So I'm

354
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: sure there are and I know there are more, you know,

355
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: in the last twenty twenty five years or so that

356
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: I've watched. I just can't think of it. This is

357
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: rec bias coming into play here. But this was a

358
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: this was a tough one today. Now let's get back

359
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: to Cora. People are gonna say that Core should be fired.

360
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: There's gonna be people that say he shouldn't be fired. Right, Oh,

361
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: the manager doesn't play, right. The players got to play,

362
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: They got to get the job done. But I'm gonna

363
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, and I'm not advocating for Alex

364
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: cor to get fired. That's not what I'm doing here.

365
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm just laying down the facts. I'm gonna lay down

366
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: the facts on both sides here. The Red Sox have

367
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: had successful managers over the last twenty years, right, Terry Francona,

368
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: winning two World Series of the Red Sox. His tenure

369
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: lasted eight years two thousand and four to twenty eleven.

370
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: Eventually that magic wore off and they had to change

371
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: the guard. Terry Francona. As much as I love that man,

372
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: and I think you know, in my opinion, he's the

373
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: greatest manager in Red Sox history. Even his time ended,

374
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: his voice ran out. You go back to twenty eleven,

375
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: head chicken, him beer guys in the clubhouse not supporting

376
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: the team in September when they're going through an incredibly

377
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: terrible stretch and you had that going on right and

378
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: other things right where you go back to Francona so

379
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: many times where you see reports of him having to

380
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: really keep the ship upright in the clubhouse and he

381
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: was just losing it. And I'm not saying anything bad

382
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: against Francona. It was what it was, John Ferrell. John Ferrell,

383
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: to me, you had Bobby Valentine right after that. That

384
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: was fun. I was talking about this today where Terry

385
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: Francona probably got into the point where he was too

386
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: much of a player's manager or the players just took

387
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: advantage of it. Then you went very sharp to Bobby

388
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: Valentine to more of an authoritarian kind of a guy,

389
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: right a manager's manager. I think they went too much

390
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: of a change, and then they kind of steered it

391
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: back a little bit to someone like John Ferrell who

392
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: was stern but could connect with the players at that point,

393
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: Pharah winning a World Series in twenty thirteen. But then

394
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: the bad call started mounting, Then the inconsistency started mounting,

395
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: the lack of playoff success, and then you started seeing

396
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: the reports that the players weren't really able to connect

397
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: with him. So maybe you're at that point where you

398
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 1: needed to bring in a player manager a bit more,

399
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: someone that could connect more with the players. Alex Corr

400
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: was that guy, John Ferrell, right guy at the right

401
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: time in twenty thirteen. Alex Korra right guy at the

402
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: right time in twenty eighteen. Is Alex Korra the right

403
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: guy at the right time right now? This has nothing

404
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: to do with Cora in his abilities. It's more about

405
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: the situation. It's more about the culture. Does this team

406
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: need something different right now? Do they need to have

407
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: a different voice, they need to connect with someone different,

408
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: And again, This is not a knock on Cora. It's

409
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: just it is what it is. And I see twenty

410
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: seven and thirty one a team full of talent. Sure,

411
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: no Bregman, but you still got talent. I don't know.

412
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: But if you look at Korra, if you know, if

413
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: you want to look at some calls here, he's made

414
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: some iffy calls that, you know, I think where there's

415
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: probably some overthinking that goes into it, and it's looking

416
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: too much into the future that I think of affected

417
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: calls that have come back to bite him. Vlad Junior

418
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: pitching to him in Toronto first base open, Santanderer up next.

419
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: Santander wasn't even hitting his weight, and you pitched a

420
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: vlat right when you had a base open. You know,

421
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: chorus set after. You know, you're looking to, you know,

422
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: show your confidence in the picture right to try and

423
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: give him a confidence boost. Okay, well, in the end

424
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: it didn't work out. It's you know, it's it's hindsight.

425
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: But that happened. Greg Weiser in for a second inning.

426
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: He just gave up the game tying hit the previous inning.

427
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: You bring him back out for the for another inning

428
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: of work. When Liam Hendrix is in the bullpen. Granted,

429
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: you know that's hindsight in itself. Did you want to

430
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: bring in Liam Hensrix at that point looking back on it,

431
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: probably not. I mean, good chance. You're probably still losing

432
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: that game anyway. But you look at Greg Weiser at

433
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: the time, he had just coughed up the lead and

434
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: then Liam Hensrickx. You know, the decision was, well, we

435
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: didn't have any more bullpen, We didn't have any more

436
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: arms in the bullpen after Hendrix. Well, in the end,

437
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: you got to win the game. You're up nine to seven.

438
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: Hendrix at least has experience as a closer. Sure, you know, yeah,

439
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: he's still finding his way, especially at that point, but

440
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: do you bring in the fresh arm. Maybe that could

441
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: have been a bit of a confidence boost for Liam

442
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: Hensdrix at that point, you know, and you didn't do it.

443
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: You did it for Slayton, right, that could have been

444
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: a moment for Hendrix maybe to give him something. And

445
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: if you lose the game, whatever, at least you know,

446
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: because no one is going to criticize the move of

447
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: bringing Liam Hendrix in at that moment because Greg Weisser

448
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: just gave up the lead. At least if Hendrix comes

449
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: in and he blows the lead. It's like, well, Weisser

450
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: didn't have a good ending the past hitting. Who's going

451
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: to argue that he should have stayed in the game.

452
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: Probably no one. And then if Hendrix coughs up the

453
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: lead and it's still a tie game and you're out

454
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: of pictures, well, I don't know. You got to figure

455
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: it out at that point. Something in this series, Pink's

456
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: running for Carlos Nervas, your number three hitter in the

457
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: lineup when runs are hard to come by, and you're

458
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: taking out Carlursnirvas for Connor Wong who hasn't had an

459
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: extra base hit since September of last year. Thank you,

460
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: Jared Carabas. And then Connor Wong flies out to end

461
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: the game with the bases loaded, taking Garrett Crochet out

462
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: of eighty five pitches. Great taking him out. He's your guy,

463
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: he's your pig. He took him out of eighty five

464
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: pictures because you're waiting for Garrett Crochet if in the

465
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: second half to be fresh, I don't know it is

466
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: fifteen pictures really gonna make much of a difference where

467
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: you could have closed out that inning, and who knows

468
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: maybe the game goes a little differently. Taking Brian Bayo

469
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: out today again, I kind of understood it, But would

470
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: it have just been better off to leave him in

471
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: when a guy that's really trying to find himself again,

472
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: did you know you get back to a chorus set

473
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: about leaving Slayton or letting Slayton pitched the lad right

474
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: wanted to show faith in your guy? Well, could this

475
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: have been a moment to show faith in Brian Bayo,

476
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: a guy that's been pressing to get through five? Could

477
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: you couldn't just let him try and finish it off?

478
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that could have been different. I think it's arguable. Everyone.

479
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap it if you are watching on nesson

Speaker 1: you next time here on Nesson Nation. Now, let's stay

494
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: here on YouTube. Lots of If he calls for Alex Cora, now,

495
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: the question is is ownership going to do something here?

496
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: John Henry, Sam Kennedy, Listen, Cora has a good relationship,

497
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: very good relationship with the front office. Right. But from

498
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: John Henry's point of view, if you're looking at this,

499
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 1: you've just invested money into the team, Greg Breslow making moves.

500
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: If you're looking at it from their point of view,

501
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: you're twenty seven to thirty one, about to go into June,

502
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: your past Memorial Day. Now you're past that checkpoint. Is

503
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: this a time where as someone you know in ownership,

504
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: like Henry or the guy running the show in the

505
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: front office, Craig Breslow, is this the moment where you

506
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: feel like something needs to happen to try and get

507
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: a bit of a spark in this team. I'm not sure. Well, Listen,

508
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: we've seen these guys, we've seen Joan Henry make moves

509
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: before a little different, right, but Heim Bloom a couple

510
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: of years ago, taking him out mid season. Dave Dombrowski.

511
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: He cut the court on Dave Dombrowski in the season.

512
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that's different, that's not the coach,

513
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: but you know he's done it. Do they do something here?

514
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: Do they feel like they need to shake things up

515
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: and try to salvage their season? I guess it really

516
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: comes down to do they view Korra as the long

517
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: term guy. I think that's really what it comes down to.

518
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: If they feel like he is not the answer at

519
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: that spot for the long term, do they want to

520
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: keep going with it. He just signed a contract recently,

521
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: and I keep seeing people on Twitter saying he just

522
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: signed a contract. Probably doesn't happen. Again, I'm not vouching

523
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: for Core to get fired. I personally, I don't know

524
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: if it's really going to make that much of a difference.

525
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: To be honest, you can. Ownership probably even thinks the

526
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: same thing. Who knows, But guys that have signed contracts

527
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: have been relieved of their duties shortly after we just said.

528
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: Charlie Montoyo not too long ago with the Blue Jays.

529
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: It's happened, right, you know, David Bell took him a

530
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: little longer to end up getting relieved, but still it

531
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: was pretty early in his contract. Freddy Gonzalez, go back

532
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: to twenty sixteen, Mike Redman, go back to twenty fourteen

533
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: with the Marlins. It's happened again. I'm not I want

534
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: to make this very clear, and I know I've said

535
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: it a few times, so I'll say it again. I'm

536
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: not vouching for Core to get fired. That's not my preference.

537
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think what is the front office

538
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: thinking here, because when times have called for drastic measures,

539
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: the Red Sox have done it. And I don't know. Man,

540
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying never say never, and everything I think

541
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: is probably on the table. That's my own perspective, that's

542
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: my own opinion. I'm not hearing anything. That's just what

543
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: I think. If it's not Alex Kor, then what do

544
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: you do? Well? Do you make an adjustment in the

545
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: coaching staff. Peter Fatzi, I'm sorry, I'm tired of this

546
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: offensive approach all year. I know the Red Sox, you know,

547
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: they ranked twelfth coming into WR coming into today ranking

548
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: twelfth in WRC plus. The results have been there. You've

549
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: seen the good, but it's very streaky. Sure things even

550
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: out over time, but I don't know, man, you have

551
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: the most swings in Major League Baseball in the year

552
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: and your top ten and strikeouts, you're not doing good

553
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: in high leverage situations. I don't know, man. I just

554
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: look at some of the plate discipline throughout games and

555
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, what are we doing? Why are you swinging

556
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: at that pitch when you just took that pitch? Like,

557
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I see that a lot with

558
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 1: this team. And oh man, if no one's fired, if

559
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: no one's relieved of their duties, if no adjustments are

560
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: made with the coaching staff, while any roster moves. Trevor Story,

561
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: Trevor Story, he has been nowhere near his weight in

562
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: batting average. I know, I know there's more than just

563
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: batting average, righting. I trust me. I like my analytics too,

564
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: But I think we can all agree Trevor Story has

565
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: not been hit of all. Right, go look at the

566
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: advanced metrics. They're all ice cold. Is Story going to

567
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: be able to do anything for you? I don't know.

568
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Alex Corus said today they want to try

569
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: and get his back going. Is there anything left to

570
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: try and tap into? I think you've maybe saw a

571
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: couple of signs today, you know, the last couple of

572
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: games maybe, But at some point do you need to

573
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: make some kind of a move if you are going

574
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: to send some kind of a message, is a DFA

575
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: on Trevor's story the route or a phantom il stint?

576
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I also speculated about that today.

577
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: I wonder if Story maybe has been working through some

578
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: kind of an injury. I wonder that Speed's not looking good. Listen,

579
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: this guy's been very I mean he sure he has

580
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: some very flukey injuries along the way, but injuries are injuries,

581
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: and I wonder if maybe there's something going on with him.

582
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, But the big question is where is

583
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony. I don't think it's completely I don't think

584
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: it's crazy at all too, and I don't think it's

585
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: I don't selfish the right word. Right us fans, we

586
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: love our prospects, we love our young players. But you know,

587
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: and people are gonna say, oh, you shouldn't rush Anthony.

588
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: What is there to rush? I mean, sure, you know,

589
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: Craig Breslow. We talked about it today. I'll get to

590
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: the I'll get to the article in just a second.

591
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: But you know, Craig Breslow said, there's still a couple

592
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: of things that they would like for him to work on. Okay, fine,

593
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: he said today he wants to work on. He wants

594
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: Roman to improve on hitting non fastballs in the zone.

595
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: I guess timing is something where I don't know, maybe

596
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: they're they're iffy on the timing things, right. He says

597
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 1: he tends to let the ball get a little too

598
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: deep into the zone on those kind of pictures. But

599
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: you know, okay, fine, but really, let's all be honest here.

600
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: I think the main driving force is they want to

601
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: avoid Roman Anthony getting into the Super two eligibility range

602
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: for arbitration. That's probably what it is, honestly. You know,

603
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: the whole Rookie of the Year thing, right, they want

604
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell to win Rookie of the Year. I mean, whatever,

605
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that's really an argument. Whatever, you know,

606
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: I don't think you know, call it. I've seen people say, oh,

607
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: you call up Roman, you know, so, because if you

608
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: call up Roman, he's gonna have a better shot at

609
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: winning Rookie of the Year over Christian Campbell, and you know,

610
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: but they want Campbell to win the Rookie of the

611
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: Year to try and you know, get the draft pick

612
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: compensation for it. No, I don't think it's that, it's whatever.

613
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: I think really what it is, it's a financial thing.

614
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: I think they want to avoid the Super two. I'm

615
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: still sort of iffy on how everything works there. But basically,

616
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: if he gets a certain amount of playing time under

617
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: a certain time span, and if he ends up meeting

618
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 1: those requirements, then he ends up getting a fourth year

619
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: of arbitration compared to three. All the players they get

620
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: three years of arbitration and three years of pre arbitration.

621
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: But if he ends up getting a certain amount of

622
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: playing time within a certain time span and he gets

623
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: it was the top twenty two percent or whatever it

624
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: may be, and then he ends up getting a fourth

625
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: year of arbitration. Vlad Junior is an example of that, right,

626
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: And that's just more money. And yeah, you know fourth

627
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: year of arbitrary that you know, the first year of

628
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: arbitration whatever. It ends up not being that much. But

629
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: you look at the raises from year to year, and

630
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: the raises are gonna and if he ends up being

631
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: a great player, it's gonna be that much more money

632
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: on top of each other. Right, So yeah, I think

633
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: it's more of a financial thing. I think they're just

634
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 1: waiting until it's probably a there's a good amount of

635
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: cushion for them to avoid. That's two status. That's what

636
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. But to me, I think it's atrocious that

637
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: Roman's not on this team. I get it. I understand

638
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: the business side of things. I understand the financial side

639
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: of things. But if you're trying to win games, why

640
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: isn't one of the best players in your organization who

641
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 1: I think hit a double today, by the way, I

642
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: think he kept on raking here today. The guy's red hot,

643
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 1: and he's been hot for a long time. He's got

644
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: over a four to fifty on base. Why do you

645
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: not want that player? And you're why why is he

646
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: not up? It's atrocious. I think it's disgusting if you

647
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 1: call Roman up, do you move Seti to the infield? Right,

648
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: Let's say you end up doing something of a story

649
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: DFA Fansom Ael moved to the banks. I don't know.

650
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: You know, Meyer goes to short. You put Seti at

651
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: second Christian Campbell, if you're going to first, all right,

652
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that a second. Well, then so Guard

653
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: he can go play third until until Bregman comes back.

654
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: Whatever is that the move you make? I don't know,

655
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: I guess, but you got to find a way to

656
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: get Roman into this lineup. I think I've been saying

657
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: that until I'm blue in the face for how many weeks. Now,

658
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: let's get to these comments really quick, and let's talk

659
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: about the Alex Cora comments on Christian Campbell. But just

660
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: to kind of put a bow on that, I don't

661
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: think Alex Core gets fired. But I'm never gonna say never,

662
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 1: right especially now, right of course, that that time will

663
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 1: come when Core is no longer the manager of the

664
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: Red Sox. But could it happen tomorrow? Could it happen

665
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: at some point over the next week or two. I

666
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: don't think so. But four games under five hundred expectations

667
00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: coming into the year, I don't think it's the craziest thing. Riscatello,

668
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: he keeps putting out there that he's probably it probably

669
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. But again, guys have been relieved of their

670
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: duties short into a contract. Core is a different case.

671
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: Because he has that relationship with the front office. I

672
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: don't know, an E, what would Fire and Kora do?

673
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: Probably nothing, honestly, the only thing it would do. And

674
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: it depends on whether or not the Red Sox the

675
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: people in charge think if it's worth it, if the

676
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: juice is worth the squeeze. Do they think a different

677
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: voice could save the season. Do they think a guy making,

678
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, doing things a bit different could save the season?

679
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: Ramone Vasquez, he did show an ability, you know, against

680
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: the against the Mets in a couple of games. Right

681
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: Red Sox are able to come through. But Ramone Vasquez

682
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, he was brought in

683
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: when Alex Korra was brought back. So he's a core

684
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: a guy. E. I agree, good picching could save the season. Well,

685
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: right now they're not firing on all cylinders. And you know,

686
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 1: they couldn't pitch enough today. Honestly, they drove it enough

687
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: runs to get the job done today. They couldn't pitch

688
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: enough today. You know, I don't know, I don't know

689
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: nothing Core can control. But it's not about that. It's

690
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: not about that. Of course, Coor is not going out

691
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 1: there and playing. It's not about that it's about trying

692
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: to get a different voice in the clubhouse. Could that

693
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: and maybe try some different things, you know, and maybe

694
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 1: get a bit of a spark into the players. Does

695
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: the front office think that's worth it? I don't know.

696
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: Probably not. Again, Core is not playing. He can't go

697
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: out there and save the day himself. But just comes

698
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: down to do they feel like they need something different?

699
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: And that's not the manager's fault all the time, it's not.

700
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: It's out of his control. But is this something that

701
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 1: he could even fix at this point? It's not anything

702
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 1: against his ability, it's just is this the right time

703
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: for Alex Core? I don't know. Let's get to a

704
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 1: couple of comments here today. Greg Breslow talking Roman Anthony right,

705
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: just mentioned this a second ago. Here was the quote

706
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: that people were talking about here today. Uh, those are

707
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: well his view on Roman Anthony coming up. Those are

708
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: a few development opportunities that we want to make sure

709
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: we lock in. Those are the things. Those are things

710
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: the minor league schedule and environment afford. Obviously we have

711
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: to balance that with our major league needs. That's a

712
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: conversation that we're having every single day. He mentioned that

713
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: he wants him to improve against non fastballs in the zone.

714
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: On non fastballs in the zone, he's hitting two twenty nine,

715
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 1: slugging two eighty six in May against those pitches. So

716
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: they also want him to improve a little bit out

717
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: in left field, say they want him to work on reeds,

718
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: routes and jumps. Sounds like they're trying to perfect things

719
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: before it. Again, I think a lot of this is

720
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: the super two thing that comes into play. I think

721
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: they're just trying to squeeze out as much as they

722
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: can in this. And again, you know, you look at

723
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: the outfield, the Red Sox right now. You know, like

724
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: Seti today with the bat, it's kind of one of

725
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: those things where like anytime Seti seems to be the

726
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: obvious odd man out, he goes out there and does

727
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: well with the bat today, but then he makes that

728
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: big blunder on the base paths. So Roman Anthony is

729
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: on the minds of is on the mind of Craig Bresla,

730
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: And then we had this today. Christian Campbell looks like

731
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna be making his first base debut. Probably not

732
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: great timing after the play at second base today. Well

733
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,959
Speaker 1: then again, maybe some people think that would be good

734
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: after the play they saw him make. Maybe they think

735
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: it would be better for him to just go to

736
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: first base. I don't know, but he said, we talked

737
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: about it a few days ago. I feel and he said,

738
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: Christian Campbell says, I feel confident there's a chance he'll

739
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: play one game at first base in Atlanta, So keep

740
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: an eye out for that. You know. Again, if he

741
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 1: moves to first that could open up some possibilities where

742
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: maybe said he comes to the infield, and then Roman

743
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: can go out to the outfield, and then Duran he

744
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: can go placefield. So and I also, you know, I

745
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: forgot to mention this as well when it came to

746
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: Alex Korra, the whole thing with Raffi, right, I did

747
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: a video on this on my main channel if you

748
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 1: want to go see what I talked about there with

749
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: Cora and whether or not, you know, he should be fired.

750
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: I did do a video on that. Again, not vouching

751
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: for him to be fired, just looking at it from

752
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: all angles. But that's another thing that came into play

753
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: with the whole Raffi Devers situation. Right, Some people have

754
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: been opposed to how that whole thing was handled, you know,

755
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: So maybe that could come into play too. Ownership had to,

756
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: you know, they got to the point where ownership felt

757
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: like they couldn't figure it out with the front office

758
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 1: and with the coaching staff. So John Henry himself had

759
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: to fill out of Kansas City and fix it but himself. Right.

760
00:42:55,520 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: Cora obviously didn't figure it out. Craig Bresley didn't figure

761
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: it out. They didn't come together to figure it out.

762
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:06,479
Speaker 1: So John Henry said, all right, I'm just gonna as

763
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: the owner of this organization, I'm gonna do it myself.

764
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on my own plane and I'm gonna

765
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: fly to Kansas City and I'll talk to the man myself. Right.

766
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: So I wonder if maybe that, you know, even though

767
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: it's not about who's right or wrong, but the fact

768
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:29,760
Speaker 1: that ownership John Henry had to get on a plane

769
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: and try to neutralize the whole situation, could that be

770
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: something in itself where maybe they're looking at things and

771
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: thinking what is going on here? I don't know. Again,

772
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: it's not about whether or not Raffi should have played

773
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 1: first base. It's just the fact that Henry had to

774
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: come and do it himself, right. So I wonder if

775
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: that could be that's something that's coming into the minds

776
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: at the front office. I don't know. But then you

777
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: also then you could look at it from the perspective

778
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: of raffiship first base, right, I think they were Chris

779
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: Catillo he reported that some guys in the organization or

780
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: in the on the team in the clubhouse, they thought

781
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: it probably would have been a good idea for Raffi

782
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: to go to first base because then it could open

783
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: up opportunities in the lineup. But then those guys who

784
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: supported the decision, so it's kind of a split thing.

785
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: That's why it was such a hot topic, because you

786
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: had disagreements on both sides. Right. So in the end, though,

787
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 1: I'll say it again one more time, John Henry had

788
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 1: to clean up the mess. Let's get to the Braves series.

789
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,120
Speaker 1: Let's uh, the Braves. It got off to that terrible so,

790
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 1: I mean, we just played the Braves recently. But let's

791
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: take a look at where the Braves are now. I

792
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: mean they've been slumping a little bit here, been slumping

793
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: a little I'm not sure where there it is, all right?

794
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: So the Braves? Is it right now? Twenty five and

795
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: twenty eight nine and a half back in the Division

796
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: five back in the wildcard race, Robert Huenean Junior came back,

797
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: but uh is that helping? I don't know. Doesn't seem

798
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: like it as of late. But the Braves have got

799
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: a lot of talent, right, so the projected matchups, Now,

800
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 1: this is interesting when it comes to the Red Sox

801
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: perspective because you know, Hunter Dobbins obviously coming out of

802
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: the bullpen, so Fangrafts does have him lined up to

803
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: get the start here, but uh, is he gonna get

804
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: the start? I don't know. He just came out of

805
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: the bullpen, so I do have the day off tomorrow obviously,

806
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: so maybe they're I don't know, I'm not sure if

807
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the start. Gilido should should probably get

808
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: to start Friday, right, because that lines up for his start.

809
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna see Walker Buehler here and then on that. Yeah,

810
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: So the interesting thing is who's gonna start Saturday, right,

811
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: Richard Fitz He just pitched last night, so that'd be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

812
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: so that wouldn't be enough rest for Richard fits So

813
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: that's gonna be interesting. You know, could that just be

814
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: a bullpen game where Dobbins goes three. I don't know.

815
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: We'll see, you know, do they push Crochet to the

816
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: third game because he'd be on normal rest at that point.

817
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: He just pitched on Monday, so Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

818
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know this Bueller pitch maybe Saturday,

819
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: and then Crochet goes Sunday. I'm not sure. So the

820
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: pitching matchups are going to be interesting. But for the

821
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: Red Sox, you're lined up to go up against Grant Holmes,

822
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: Spencer Schwellenbach, and Spencer Stryder. None of the pitching matchups

823
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 1: have been announced at this point for this series, so

824
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: things are still up in the air. But Spencer's Strider,

825
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: he just pitched against the Phillies, so so that was Tuesday,

826
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: so Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so he would be lined up

827
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: for the Sunday start. So it looks like we're avoiding

828
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: Chris Sale, so that's good. So that's a that's a

829
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: positive in itself. But you know the Braves, right these

830
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: are two teams that are very up and down right now.

831
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: But Acunya is back. You're gonna have to worry about him.

832
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: We'll see how this goes. Day off tomorrow, though, I

833
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: think everyone's looking at that day off instead of the

834
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 1: instead of the Brave series. Right now, everyone, I'm gonna

835
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: wrap it up right there. Unfortunately, another negative show today.

836
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: I wish we could see the winning but unfortunately it's

837
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: just not happening, and I just wonder if changes are afoot.

838
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but everybody, if you kind of the
