1 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: How are we doing? 2 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to another episode of Monster Territory, 3 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: brought to you by the Foul Territory Network. Another heartbreaker 4 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 2: for the Red Sox tonight in Detroit. Remember last night 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 2: how I said that could have been a character building win. Well, 6 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: you had another opportunity at it tonight. You're on the 7 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: verge of a sweep Trek Scooble, the reigning SI Young 8 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: Award winner on the mound. You find a way to 9 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: break through late, you end up tying it up late 10 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 2: somehow someway, even with Trek Scoubel on the mound. That 11 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: bullpen has been great for the Tigers, and then you 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 2: come up short yet again. You know, good things to 13 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: say about the Red Sox. You know, this is a 14 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: team that battles. That is one thing I can appreciate 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: about this team. You know, sure they've had you know, 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 2: some ugly losses so far this year, but again it's 17 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 2: a very good team in Detroit. This Tigers team is 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 2: no joke. And they battled this team the last couple 19 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: of nights late, and you know, again give them a 20 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: lot of credit here today against Trek Scoobel. It's a 21 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: great effort, but close, but no cigar. Once again, this 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: team feels like they're close. 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: They really do. 24 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: And I know that's something that maybe Red Sox fans 25 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: don't really want to hear right now, but I think 26 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: they are very close to being a team that can 27 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: really take a big step forward. You know, we're going 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: to talk about some possible moves tonight that maybe could 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: help shake up this team a little bit. I do 30 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 2: wonder after all my years of watching the Red Sox 31 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: John Henry, under his leadership, there have been times where 32 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: shakeups have happened. 33 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: I wonder if another one could be on the verge. 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: We'll talk about that because right now, well, I think 35 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: this team does battle. They have talent, This team had 36 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: high expectations coming into the year. Right now, at this 37 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 2: moment in time, are they good enough? I think they're 38 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: right now a good team. But are they a team 39 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 2: that could you make some noise in the postseason right now? 40 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 41 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: I don't think so, but I think there could be 42 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 2: some moves that could be made to maybe change that 43 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: discussion also got a shout out. I mean, there was 44 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: the amazing catch tonight. I know, we don't really want 45 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: to hear the positives right now. Obviously we want to 46 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: talk about changes for this team. But I mean, my goodness, 47 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 2: shout out for that catch. Will you or Bray you 48 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: SETI the team work on that catch. I haven't seen 49 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: anything like that before. Absolutely insane. Alex Bregman, Please extend 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 2: this man, figure out a new contract. Keep this guy 51 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: in Boston for years to come. Figure out a contract 52 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: like the Giants did with Matt Chapman last year. Get 53 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: it done, my goodness, Alex Bregman, he is the man. 54 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: But before I do go any further, everybody, we do 55 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: have a word from our sponsor. 56 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: Fan by now.

Since you've been 60 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 3: ripping some slab packs digitally and what happens. 61 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 4: I mean, as a kid, you wanted to rip open 62 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 4: the packs. How can they do this digitally? Oh baby, 63 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 4: this is exciting how the graphics come out and everything. 64 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 4: And oh yeah, the card that you pull you can 65 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 4: actually get that John physically, so it's perfect.

Arenaclub dot 78 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 3: com slash foul, use code foul. 79 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the postgame breakdown. First topic close, 80 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: but no cigar. We're gonna be talking about the offense here. 81 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: This offense had a tough assignment tonight with the ragning 82 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: side young winner Trek Scooble. They battled him all night. 83 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: This guy was looking absolutely nasty a lot of times tonight. 84 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: I mean he made Jaron Duran look like a complete 85 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: what's even the right word. I mean he made him 86 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: look foolish on some abs there with him. Some of 87 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: these guys could not figure out Trek Scuoble at all, 88 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: but I do appreciate they were aggressive against him early on. 89 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: Raffi had the base hit, Bregman had the base hit. Rev. 90 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: Snyder with the sack fly made it one nothing. 91 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 2: That's what you gotta do against a guy like Tarek Scooble, 92 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: don't let him get comfortable. 93 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: I think that was. 94 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 2: Great the Red Sox were able to get aggressive against 95 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 2: him early on, especially after what happened last night. You 96 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: want to just turn the page from last night, and 97 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: I liked how the Red Sox began tonight. Bregman again 98 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 2: got to find a way to get this guy to 99 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: sign long term in Boston. Give him a new six 100 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: year deal, give him two hundred million. I don't even 101 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: care what it takes. But home run of the fourth 102 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 2: inning made it two to one. This guy was getting 103 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: booed by the Detroit Faithful all series and he ended 104 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: up having himself a very nice series overall. But that 105 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 2: home run made it two to one. But the big 106 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 2: story was the seventh inning. We'll get to that in 107 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: just a second. But getting to Hunter Dobbins here, you know, 108 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: give him a lot of credit. You know, that was 109 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: a word that I used in the intro battled right 110 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: Hunter Dobbins. This is a guy I talked to him 111 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: in spring training. The impression that I got of him 112 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: is a guy that is just a straight up competitor. 113 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 2: He's going to take the ball and he's going to 114 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: give you one hundred and ten percent. He's not going 115 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: to be a guy like Trek skoobl but he's going 116 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: to go out there and he's just going to battle man. 117 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 2: And he really was taking it to the Tigers. You know, 118 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: they got to him a couple of times. But you 119 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 2: know I said last night, the Tigers, they're a good 120 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 2: fastball hitting team, very good fastball hitting team, ranked second 121 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 2: overall and fastball waited runs on the year. They hit 122 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: those fastball as well. And you know what Hunter Dobbins did. 123 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: He stuck with the fastball. He had some good velo 124 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 2: in the early going. This guy was pumping ninety eight 125 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: for crying out loud like holy cow, like he was 126 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 2: coming out firing against this team. He really leaned fastballs 127 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: in the early going. He started to switch things up 128 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 2: later on. He was working in sliders and curveball as 129 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: he went, and he was working in splitters as well, 130 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: but very heavy with the fastball made a couple of 131 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: adjustments later on. You know that curveball was a pitch 132 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: for him tonight. You know, sure a guy it got 133 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: tagged a couple of times. But man, when you're throwing 134 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: a ninety eight mini hour fastball and then you come 135 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 2: back with a seventy eight mini hour curveball, that is 136 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 2: a massive difference in those pitches. So he had the 137 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: Tigers off balance a lot. But the second inning, Riley 138 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 2: Green had himself a very good night tonight. In the 139 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: second inning, he had the double. Sweeney had the base hit, 140 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 2: Riley Green just getting in before the tag. Wow, I 141 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 2: mean a great throw from Duran. There was a little 142 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 2: bit of a bit of a bobble from Duran. I 143 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 2: do wonder if that slight hesitation was the difference there, 144 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: because that was a bang bang play at home play. 145 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: But Riley got home safe. 146 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,679 Speaker 2: Fourth inning, Cole Keith had the double, Riley Green another 147 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 2: base hit. Then give again a lot of credit for 148 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: the battling he got out of the jam there. Hunter 149 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: Dobbins right dingler double play did score the run that 150 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: made it two to two. McKinstry had the double right 151 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: after that, and then Sweeney with the ground out. 152 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: But it was the. 153 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: Third inning or the third time, sorry, not the third inning, 154 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: the third time through the order that really did Hunter 155 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: Dobbins in. And this is where you know, you started 156 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: to see the Tigers getting some hits off of him, 157 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: fourth fifth inning, and then you kind of was looking 158 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: there and you're thinking, all right, do we maybe make 159 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: a move? And I was actually thinking, you know, Riley 160 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: Green coming up again, could you have gone Justin Wilson 161 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: in the early part of that inning which ended up 162 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: being Dobbin's last inning. There in the sixth inning, could 163 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: you have gone with Justin Wilson against Riley Green? 164 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: I think that could have been the move. 165 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: Right Cole Keith had the base hit, but to me, 166 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: I think the lefty lefty matchup would have made a 167 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: lot of sense there. 168 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what was going on with the warm ups. 169 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: I don't know, but when you're going through a line 170 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: up the third time, Riley Green was having himself a 171 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 2: good night up to that point, I feel like Justin 172 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: Wilson would have made a lot of sense in that situation. 173 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: And then you get the home run off of a fastball, right, 174 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: you know, again, this is a good fastball hitting team. 175 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: Like I said, you. 176 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: Can't be pouring in fastballs, you know, down the heart 177 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: of the plate. I'm sorry, Like I think you should 178 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 2: have worked around him in that situation, throwing some curve balls, 179 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: try to get the outer part of the plate. But 180 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: that to me was a mistake, not going justin Wilson 181 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 2: and also going fastball to Riley Green. And then Sweeney 182 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: had the sack fly Sada Rafaela made a great attempt 183 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: on the throw center field. He parked right under it. 184 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 2: He got himself in a great position. He did all 185 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: he could on a play like that. Again, runner just 186 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: getting in before the throw. But let's get back to 187 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: the seventh inning here. You know, this was the part 188 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: of the game where you're thinking, Wow, there might be 189 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: something to this Red Sox team. This is where they 190 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: really showed some tenacity here against the reigning Sy Young winner. 191 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: So Guard had the one out base hit, the narv 192 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: dog Carlos Nirvaias getting a huge walk. If the Red 193 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: Sox win the night, I think you can go back 194 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 2: to that ab and you could say, okay, that was 195 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: the ab of the night, right, A huge walk was 196 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: really taking some tough pictures there, really love that and 197 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: then Raphael a huge base hit. Scooble, this is a 198 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: guy that attacks the zone. He likes to stay around 199 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 2: the zone a lot. He likes to get guys to chase. 200 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 2: But he's going to be attacking that strike zone and 201 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 2: Rafaela he just took him the other way. So in 202 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: a way, that was a bit of a bad matchup. 203 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 2: You're thinking, Scooble against the nine hitter, how's that a 204 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: bad matchup? Well, you know, he's late in his game, 205 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: he's late in his outing there. The Red Sox is 206 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 2: starting to get to him. Raphael an aggressive hitter to me, 207 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: ended up being a bad match up for schoobl That 208 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: made a five to three. This is kind of where 209 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 2: I got a little confused with the Tigers decision making. 210 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: If I was Detroit, I actually would have left Schooble 211 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 2: in against Duran. No offense against darreon Duran. You know, 212 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: sure he's been a bit up and down this year. 213 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 2: But Duran looked absolutely lost against Scooble tonight. So I'm 214 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: actually surprised that one. With a pitching change there bringing 215 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: in Tyler Holton and then Duran first pitch RBI bass hit, 216 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: they made a five to four. Then Raffi got the 217 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 2: base hit to tie it up. Hard Screamer right up 218 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: the middle tied the game. Bragman walked, loaded the bases, 219 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: and Corra made the right move here bringing in will 220 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: you or bray you to ping shit right res snyders 221 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: in against the lefty. But to me, you know, also 222 00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: you had I'm going blank, you had, I'm going completely 223 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 2: blank on who came into the game. I'm so sorry, 224 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: but Willier he ended up getting the pink shit appearance. 225 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: This was the right move the lefty righty matchup, and 226 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 2: will You're unfortunately and just grinding into the double play. 227 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: So it is what it is. You know it was 228 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: the right move, but it's just not going to work 229 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: out all the time. So you know, this was a 230 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: moment where I think the Red Sox, Yes, it was 231 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 2: great they tied up the game there, but you got 232 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: to do a little bit more in that situation. I 233 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: know it's asking a lot to get something off of 234 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: schoobl right. Oh sorry, Cainlee came into the game. I 235 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: was going completely blank on that. Cainley's a change up thrower, basically, 236 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: that's all he throws to the most part and another 237 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 2: reason why will You're coming into the game for the 238 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: pink hit was Another reason that was a great move 239 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: is because Willier hits off speed pitches very well. Hits 240 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 2: almost four hungered against the off speed pitches, so it 241 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: was the right matchup. It just didn't work out. But 242 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 2: then the ninth inning we had another letdown. Right Obviously, 243 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 2: tying the game was great, but it was a bit 244 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: of a letdown in my opinion, to not be able 245 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 2: to close the deal and take the lead. But the 246 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 2: ninth inning you had another opportunity there. Will Vess came 247 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: out of the bullpen for the Tigers. The nerve dog 248 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: seti back to back base hits. It felt like they 249 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 2: were really building some momentum here and you're thinking, man, 250 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 2: all right, here we go. This is the Red Sox 251 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: team we've been waiting for. Then Jaron Duran Lioner to left. 252 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 2: Great play by Riley Green that did advanced David Hamilton 253 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: over to third. But then Raffi with the strikeout, Bregman 254 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: with the ground out. You know, Bregman, Hey, Raffi. They 255 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: came up with big hits in this one. But these 256 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: are the moments late in the game where you gotta 257 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 2: come up big. You know it is what it is, 258 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: right But credit to Alex Bregman tonight. Like I said earlier, 259 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: you got to get this guy signed up to an 260 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: actual contract here instead of you know, one with an 261 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 2: opt out three for four tonight home run. He's hitting 262 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: three to fourteen with a nine eighty one OPS on 263 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: the year with eleven home runs. He's been one of 264 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: the best players in Major League Baseball. What a great 265 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 2: signing this has been up to this point, but in 266 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: the end, the Red Sox unable to hang on to it, 267 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: losing again another one run game. Let's get to Hendricks 268 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: coming in here. Hendricks. This is where you know I'm 269 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 2: not gonna lie Liam Hendricks. He makes me a little 270 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 2: unc even though he has been a little better as 271 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: of late, he just makes me a little uncomfortable. 272 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: This guy he was getting tagged. Man. 273 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 2: You know, the Red Sox used up a lot of 274 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 2: their bullpen in last night's game, so Hendricks was a 275 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: guy that was definitely gonna be getting the call today. 276 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: But you know, he's pouring in some fastballs. The Tigers 277 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 2: hit those well, and they had a couple of hard 278 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: hit balls and luckily the Red Sox had a little 279 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 2: bit of luck on their side and some great defense 280 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 2: from Will You or Brave. The fact that will You 281 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: or Brave was able to even just get the glove 282 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 2: on the ball. The way he did that was already 283 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: just a phenomenal effort. But then SETI, this is why 284 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 2: the center field centerfielder needs to be backing up the 285 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: other outfielders out there able to make the circus catch. 286 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 2: I haven't seen a play like that in my entire 287 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 2: life watching baseball. I'm sure there's been, you know, similar 288 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: plays like that that I'm not thinking of right now, 289 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: but I can't think of a catch like that. Slayton 290 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: came in absolutely dominated. But then Chapman pitching on back 291 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 2: to back days, so the third time this year, he 292 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: was a little little bit iffy, right Andy a Bonyez, 293 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: he came in for the pink. 294 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: He came in for the pink shit appearance. 295 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: Very good against left handed pitching last year, so no 296 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 2: surprise to see him be coming in. I ended up 297 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: drawing the walk and this is where it got a 298 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: little iffy here. So and unfortunately this is where I 299 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 2: got a rant a little bit. Connor Wong throwing air 300 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: a Banyez. Just man, I'm still frustrated over the play. 301 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: So a Bonyez ended up going for second, Connor Wong 302 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: making the throw and he just bad throw right, goes 303 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: off the glove of story, goes down into the outfield. 304 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: Now, this is. 305 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 2: Where it got a little weird because a Banya is 306 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: on that play. Since the ball went out to the outfield, 307 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: he made his way over to third base. But Cora 308 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: decided to challenge it, saying that a Banya is since 309 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: he came off of the bag, that he had to 310 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 2: retouch the bag before he can go to third base. 311 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 2: But because he hadn't retouched it, that's where Korra thought, Hey, 312 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: you know, is he actually out here? So but because 313 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: he didn't make a motion back to first base, he 314 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: was okay to go on to third so the call 315 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: ended up standing. But Connor Wong here, listen, I don't 316 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 2: like to single out players, I really don't. You're not 317 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: going to see my dufe of self going out there 318 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: and doing any close to a better of a job 319 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 2: than these guys are doing. But Connor Wong, there's just 320 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: been too many times this. 321 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: Year where. 322 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: You've had a lot of AB's where he hasn't been 323 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: able to come up with anything defensively. There's been a 324 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 2: lot of just bad plays, framing, not looking great. He's 325 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: not able to help out the pictures all that much. 326 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 2: I just think Wong, you know, I hate saying it, 327 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 2: but right now, I think he's just hurting this team. 328 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: And I know Connor Wong came in late in the game. Obviously, 329 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: Carlos nenirbias getting the start tonight, so I'll give him 330 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: a little bit of slack there. But the the problems 331 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: just keep mounting with Connor Wong. So I just wonder 332 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 2: at some point do the Red Sox end up making 333 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: a change there and getting you know, some better defense. 334 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: Right. 335 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: It's one thing if Connor Wong could hit, you know, 336 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: but if he's not able, you know, to make good 337 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: throws there, especially in high leverage situations. I mean, I 338 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 2: don't know, at some point, do the Red Sox. 339 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: Maybe make a move there? All right? 340 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: You got Yao's mighty grand doll down to the minor leagues. 341 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: Austin Barr's got DFA today by the Dodgers. 342 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: He's pretty good defensively. Do you make a. 343 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: Bit of a a thought there to make a change, right, 344 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 2: because Connor Wong right now, I feel like he's just 345 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 2: hurting the team again. I like Connor Wong a lot, 346 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 2: seems like a great dude, but there's just been too 347 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: many times so far this year where I feel like 348 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 2: he's just holding the team back in some instances. So 349 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: it is what it is. I think that's something to 350 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 2: keep an eye on moving forward. But in the end, 351 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 2: Chapman came in, like I said, a Bania is a 352 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: third I think justin molloy walk off base hit. So 353 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: you know, it is what it is. It's just another heartbreaker. 354 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: And this is where I say with the Red Sox, yes, 355 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: this is a good team, but are they good enough 356 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 2: right now at this moment in time, I would say no, 357 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 2: I don't think they're good enough right now to be 358 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: to be actual serious postseason contenders. 359 00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: It's it's early. 360 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: We can't keep using that excuse. How long are we 361 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: going to keep saying that? Right it's the middle of May. 362 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 2: I know teams have gotten hot in the second half, 363 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 2: they've been able to turn their seasons around, but at 364 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: some point you're just seeing something not working with this 365 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 2: team and you're going to have to make some adjustments 366 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: at some point, you're gonna have to make some moves, 367 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 2: John Henry. This guy flew down to Kansas City to 368 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: go talk with RAFFI. I mean, John Henry, you know, hey, 369 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: the Red Sox made some moves this past offseason, and 370 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: he signed off on a big payday for Alex Bregman. 371 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 2: John Henry, I can't I wonder what he's thinking about 372 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 2: this team right now. You know, Craig Bresla obviously, you 373 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 2: know the whole first base thing with Raffi. We've already 374 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: talked about that at nauseum. But at some point, you know, 375 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: do you wonder if maybe Craig is thinking, John Henry's thinking, 376 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: people on the officer thinking, you know, we might have 377 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 2: to make some changes here, or are they going to 378 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 2: keep their cool because it still is the middle of May. 379 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 2: Are they going to hang on a little longer to 380 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 2: feel things out? You know, because coming into this series, 381 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 2: you know you won your last two series, but this 382 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 2: is a could this be a wake up call kind 383 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: of a series? Right because this Tigers team, they're absolutely 384 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: gonna be World Series contenders this year, in my opinion, 385 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 2: at least going to be. 386 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: American League Pennant contenders. 387 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 2: Is this a bit of a wake up call, not 388 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 2: just for the team, but for the front office and 389 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 2: ownership to where you're thinking, all right, we're under five 390 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: hunjured again. Do we have to maybe make a couple 391 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: of moves to get this team on the right track. 392 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if you start seeing some moves soon, right, 393 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 2: Could that be Roman Anthony, Marcella Meyer? Good nights again 394 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: down to the minor leagues? 395 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 1: Right? 396 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: They went it combined four for seven tonight. Listen to me, 397 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: if it's me personally, I'm calling these guys up. I'm 398 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 2: giving this team a little bit of a spark, and 399 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 2: you know, I know right. You know Dobbins wasn't at 400 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: his best tonight. Could you argue that Core could have 401 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 2: gone with Justin Wilson a little bit sooner? You know, 402 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 2: you did your best against the cy Young winner and 403 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 2: Trek Skoobel. I mean, the guy has been amazing so 404 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: far this year. But at the sum at some point, 405 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 2: like when are you going to take that next step 406 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 2: as a team? Does Roman Anthony and Marcelo Meyer do 407 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: that for you? Trevor story was quiet tonight. Could you 408 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 2: make a move that's somewhere in the infield, he's been slumping. 409 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: Do you get Roman up? I know they're still wanting 410 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 2: him to work on some things, getting the ball into 411 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: the air a little bit more. But at some point 412 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 2: I think you're gonna have to make a move because 413 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 2: is this the best possible team that can be on 414 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: the field? I would say right now, I think you know, 415 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 2: there's a lot of good things, but I think it 416 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: could be better. And listen, am I saying that Roman 417 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 2: Anthony and Marcela Meyer are going to carry you to 418 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: a World Series? No, I'm not saying that, But do 419 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: they make you a better team? 420 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: I think they do. I think it's worth a shot 421 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: at least. 422 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: And I understand when you call those guys up, you're 423 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: calling them up to play every day. You're not putting 424 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: them on the bench, You're not putting them at funky 425 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 2: positions that they're not used to. Know, neither of those 426 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 2: guys are playing first base, So get that out of 427 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: your thoughts, you know, get that out of your minds. 428 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: They're not playing first base. Roman Anthony's not playing first 429 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 2: a right, So they're not just gonna call them up 430 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 2: for the heck of it, right, They're gonna be calling 431 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 2: them up, not to be playing part time, not to 432 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 2: be riding the bench. They're gonna be calling them up 433 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: to be playing every day. So but I think right 434 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 2: now that is worth a shot right at getting this 435 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: team a bit of a spark, right, just rejuvenating this 436 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 2: team a little bit, because the way I'm feeling with 437 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 2: this team, if the season ended today, I would say close, 438 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 2: but no cigar, right. They feel like they're very, very close, 439 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 2: but they're just not. 440 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: Quite there yet. 441 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: I think they need a little something and that could 442 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 2: be the boost that they need right. I think the 443 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: bullpen could also use a little something. To me, I'm 444 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: bringing up Luis Guerrero, I think you need another high 445 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 2: leverage arm. 446 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: Do you call him up? 447 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: Do you maybe call another team out there, like the Nationals, 448 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 2: maybe Kyle Finnegan, someone like that. I think they need 449 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 2: to make a couple of moves here, and I think 450 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 2: you need to figure things out. To me, you know, 451 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 2: we've already talked about it. I think Raffia first base 452 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: makes the most sense. It opens up a spot in 453 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 2: the lineup and that could easily you could easily slide 454 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: in Rome and Anthony d h outfield, right, do a 455 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 2: bit of a rotation out there. That's the way I 456 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 2: think you need to go. That's the way I think 457 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 2: you need to go, and you know, improving a couple 458 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: of things. And that's where I talk about Connor Wong. 459 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 2: Can you be a little better defensively at the catcher position. 460 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 2: I think that's worth a conversation. Is Austin Barnes A 461 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: possibility is osmani Grandal? You know, is he you know, 462 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: he's not going to be what he was in the past, 463 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: but I'd say that veteran experience that he has at 464 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 2: this point, I think that's worth a gamble. And maybe 465 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 2: Connor Wong goes back down to the minors to try 466 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 2: and work on some things. Right, He's got options, So. 467 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. 468 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of things that you could 469 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 2: do with this team. I don't think you need to 470 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 2: do anything crazy with this team. I don't think you 471 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 2: need to go out there and you know, pull off 472 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 2: a you know, blockbuster trade for someone like Sandy al 473 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 2: Kantara or whoever becomes available. But I think some tweaks 474 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: could be made to really get this team on the 475 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 2: right path. 476 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of where I'm at. 477 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 2: So we do have a couple of minutes here, and 478 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: really quick, let's take a look at the upcoming series 479 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: with the Atlanta braves and ladies and gentlemen. We have 480 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: ourselves quite the Maxshop, quite the macshup on Friday, we 481 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: got the off day tomorrow. Chris Sale, Gare Crochet. What 482 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 2: a Max Shop. I mean, there's so many storylines with that, 483 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: right Obviously, Chris Sale helping the Red Sox win a 484 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: World series in twenty eighteen. Chris Sale absolutely you know, well, 485 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: until the latter part of his Red Sox tenure. The 486 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 2: guy was absolutely dominant in his first few years of 487 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: the Red Sox and in twenty eighteen, of course, and 488 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: then Garret Crochet. You traded Chris Sale last year. You're 489 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 2: bringing Garrett Crochet this past offseason to be your new 490 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 2: ace for several years to come. I think that's an 491 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 2: awesome macshup, man. I'm excited to watch that. Chris Sale, 492 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet in Boston, Grant Holmes, Lucas Giolito going Game two, 493 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: and then it does say Cooper Criswell here for Game 494 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 2: three against Spencer Schwellenbach. But Alex Korra did confirm that 495 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 2: Brian Bao will be getting the Game three start again. 496 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,239 Speaker 2: You have the off day tomorrow, so that ends up 497 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 2: being a normal five days rest for Brian Bayo to 498 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: go Game three. So and then Walker Buehler we're going 499 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 2: to see him return in. 500 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: The Mets series. 501 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: But everybody, everybody, I am going to start wrapping it 502 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: up right there. 503 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: Again. 504 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 2: You know, just a heartbreak here tonight, heartbreak here, tonight, 505 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: heartbreaking series. You had this team right there, you know, 506 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: you had the Tigers right on the edge. A couple 507 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: of different things follow your way. You end up winning 508 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: two out of three against one of the best teams 509 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: in all of baseball. That's just the way the cookie 510 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 2: crumbles again. 511 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: I'll say it. 512 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 2: I think this team is very close, but we don't 513 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: want the team to be very close. We want the 514 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: team to be where the Tigers are at as one 515 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 2: of the best teams in baseball. They're not there yet. 516 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 2: I think they're going to be at some point. I 517 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: do believe that. But you're gonna have to make some 518 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: adjustments because right now this team it's not enough. It's 519 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 2: not enough, but I think the moves. 520 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: Are there to be able to make it enough. But everybody, 521 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 1: I am going to wrap it up right there. 522 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 2: We are out of time here for tonight's show, but 523 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: I do appreciate everybody stopping by here tonight here live 524 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 2: on YouTube.
