1
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: Welcome to Massa Territory, everybody, brought to you by the

2
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: Foul Territory Network. I did not like this game tonight.

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: The Red Sox do win the series? Who had a three,

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: but not the way you wanted to end this series.

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 1: You had a lot of good vibes. You had Bo

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: met him, you had something to build off of. You

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: had the bullpen phone cover symbol, the new symbol of

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: the Red Sox in twenty twenty five. Well ended up

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: being the bullpen was absolutely gased tonight and that ended

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: up being a big factor in this lost tonight. But

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Garret Crochet, that's the story for me in this one.

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet only eighty five pictures tonight. I'll give you

13
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: my thoughts on that a little preview. I'm not very

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: happy about that decision. I understand the reasoning behind it.

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that as well. Alex Cord did talk

16
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: about that post game. But I'll give you my thoughts

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: on that. This offense, I mean, and you know you

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: had with Ramon Vasquez managing the last couple of games,

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: they were able to figure something out there. They limited

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: the strikeouts. I can't I'm going blank on the number

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: was a twelve combined strikeouts in the first two games

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: and tonight sixteen in just tonight's game. That is absurd.

23
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: Key strikeouts in the fifth inning where they had a

24
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: chance to maybe blow open that game. We'll get into that,

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: and Baltimore is coming into town. We'll do a series

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: preview on that. I'm alost gonna do a slightly new

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: segment tonight. I'm gonna give you a few ups and

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: a few downs for this series, So we'll get into that.

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: But before we do go any further, if you can,

00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't know I even know how to do it,

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,000

72
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: Now let's get to the postgame breakdown. Do you want

73
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: to highlight one comment here? I haven't done this before.

74
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Let's see if this works. It works, okay, cool, I

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: can put this right of the screen. Caesar Nunez. All

76
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: I care about is to keep taking series. That is

77
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: a very good point, Caesar, completely agree with you. To me,

78
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the goal is always to win the series. Right.

79
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: A sweep is like a luxury in my opinion. But

80
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: something about this one. I really wanted this sweep, right.

81
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: If there was ever a time I wanted a luxury,

82
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: it was this one, right because you had a lot

83
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: of good things going the last couple of games against

84
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: a good Mets team, and you know, you kind of

85
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: just wanted to finish it off and have those good

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: vibes keep on going. But you are right there absolutely.

87
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: You just want to take the series at the end

88
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: of the day. That is the goal. So that is

89
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: the good thing there. I didn't know I could drag

90
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: comments onto the screen like that. That's pretty neat. So

91
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,119
Speaker 1: maybe I'll have to do that a little bit more

92
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: as we go on. Now let's get to the post

93
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: game breakdown. Let me give you my thoughts here on

94
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Garrett Croche. Eighty five pitches right, very solid night for Crochet,

95
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: five and a third, five hits, one earned five K's

96
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: a bit of a different pitch mix tonight. He was

97
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: working in the cutter a lot more, and I think

98
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: that's because the pitches that he throws, the Mets have

99
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: had success against those pictures this year. They've done all

100
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: right against fast balls. He's more of a sweeper guy,

101
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: but they have had success against the slider this year.

102
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: So I think he was just trying to mix and

103
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: match a little bit more so. But Croche, I felt

104
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: like he was looking pretty solid stuff wise, spin rate

105
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: was looking pretty solid. V low. That was looking good

106
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: his usual V low. And you know, he ran into

107
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: a little trouble, right, you know, at one point, but

108
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: nothing really crazy. But you're in the sixth inning he

109
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: just strikes out Sodo, and you're thinking, all right, cool,

110
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: all right. You know, he's at eighty five pitches, all right,

111
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: looking like you're probably gonna get a good six innings

112
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: out of Crochet and then let's see what the bullpen

113
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: can do. Right. They've been heavily taxed the first two

114
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: games of this series, so we'll talk about them in

115
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: just a little bit. But here comes Alex Corra taking

116
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: out Crochet at eighty five pitches. You know, the way

117
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: he was walking to the mound almost made me think

118
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: maybe he was just going out to chat with him

119
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: or something like a bit of a game plan. I

120
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: don't know. I was like, because he wasn't walking out

121
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: with that same you know, b line to take out

122
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: a guy there. It almost felt like there was a

123
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: little hesitation with it. I don't know. I don't know

124
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: if that if I was the only one that noticed

125
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: that or thought that, I'm probably wrong. I don't know.

126
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: But to me, at least, you felt like there was

127
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: a little hesitancy there. And uh and why wouldn't there be, right,

128
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: crochets your ace, this is the guy every fifth day

129
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: that you brought in, you gave up good prospects for

130
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: you signed to a big contract. This is your horse,

131
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: this is your pig right for the next several years.

132
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: And now Alex core did talk about this. Let's pull

133
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: up the comments here. Chris Catillo had it. He said, uh,

134
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: it was predetermined that Crochet was gonna have a shorter

135
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: outing for tonight. Basically was a bad break that it

136
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: came after two bullpen heavy days. Crochet said that he

137
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: wasn't aware of the plan, was frustrated as a competitor,

138
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: but he understands it now. I don't know, I'm a

139
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: little I'm a little weird on this one. I'm a

140
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: little weird on this one. Well, first off, let's talk

141
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: about the actual decision. To me, the one thing I

142
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: think about is when the Red Sox said there were

143
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: no limitations on garat Crochet this year. I get it.

144
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: A couple of back to back outings where he had

145
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: over one hundred pitches. Fair, I get it, And I understand,

146
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, wanting to limit workload at some points. But

147
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: to me, I feel like timing is also a factor.

148
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: And I get it. You know, Chorus said, you know,

149
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: kind of bad timing obviously with the heavy bullpen days,

150
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. But to me, I just

151
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: feel like, you know what you're going, you're really trying

152
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: to build that mojo, and I feel like keeping them

153
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: out there would have been the best thing. And again,

154
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: it was eighty five pitches. It's not like it's the

155
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and three ALCS Game seven with Pedro Martinez,

156
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: who's already over one hundred pitches at that point. Right, Yeah,

157
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: you can look back on that and say, Okay, that

158
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: was that was a terrible decision, But he's at eighty

159
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: five here. To me, you know, if he's looking good,

160
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: feeling good, just struck out Juan Soto, who you know,

161
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: he's had a pretty tough go as of late. You

162
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: keep him out there to at least finish the inning, right,

163
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: Maybe if he runs into a little trouble, then okay. Again,

164
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: I can understand managing the workload, but I think it

165
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: needs to be at a better time. Now. Tonight, in

166
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: my opinion, wasn't the best time. That's just my opinion.

167
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm a little old fashioned when it comes to the

168
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: pitch counts. You know, I'm not going back to the

169
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: seventies and eighties, you know, when these guys are you know, throwing,

170
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, going complete games all the time. Right, I'm

171
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: not like that, but I don't know to be You're

172
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: eighty five through five and a third, right, I think

173
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: you should be able to get at least another out

174
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: or two at least, you know, get out of that

175
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: middle of the order there, right, Pete A. Lonzo was

176
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: coming up. But then you know, I saw people talking about,

177
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: oh well there there was a bit of bit of

178
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: stats worked in there as well. I think Red Sox

179
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: stats put out there that the whiff rate goes down

180
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: with Garrett Crochet as he goes deep into the game. Well, yeah,

181
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: the strikeout rate has dropped the third time through the

182
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: order for Garrett Crochet. And the first couple of times

183
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: through the order he's over ten strikeouts per nine, but

184
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: the third time it drops to around seven per nine.

185
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: But I mean, you just struck out Sodo, all right,

186
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: And I get it lefty righty against Pete Alonso. But

187
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, Pete Alonzo's hitting right. He's better this year

188
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 1: than lefties. I just I don't know, I just didn't

189
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: agree with it very much, especially since he was looking fine,

190
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: didn't look like, you know, like what McGill was looking like.

191
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: Where he was running out of gas. Crochet looks fine,

192
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: and you know he was bothered about it. He was

193
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: bugged by it.

194
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: You know.

195
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: Again he said he understood the decision. But let's get

196
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: back to this part of the tweet here said he

197
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: wasn't aware of the plan. Why are you not aware

198
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: of the plan? Why? Why are these things not being communicated?

199
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I don't mean to get frustrated here, but

200
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: why are these things not being talked about? Wasn't aware

201
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: of the plan? Why? Why not? Why don't you talk

202
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: to these You know, it's I'm not trying to make

203
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: a connection with the Raffi Devers thing, but like, you know,

204
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about it. Seems like there's been

205
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: a lack of communication with the whole Raffi thing, you know,

206
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: going back to spring training, the whole third base thing.

207
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: This is your ace. Like talk with him about it, right,

208
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: you know, give him a heads up. That's just me,

209
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like you got to talk about

210
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: this stuff a little bit more. I don't know, man,

211
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: that's just me. Josh Libchinsky is in the chat. Happen

212
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: to see that Yankees comeback rolling? Oh yeah? Oh man?

213
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: How about them Yankees. Oh my goodness, kill me. Thank

214
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: you Josh for coming on out tonight. A tough night

215
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox tonight. But let's uh, let's move

216
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: on a little further here, right, crochet, Hey, it is

217
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: what it is. I don't agree with the move, don't

218
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: agree with the move, but hey whatever, at that point,

219
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: if he makes the call, you make the call. You

220
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: got to deal with it. Bullpen. Liam Hendrix came in,

221
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: you know, Liam Hendrix. He talked before the game, saying,

222
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: if you want the best Liam Hendrix, if you want

223
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: the best version of me, you got to put me

224
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: out there. Well, Liam Hendrix, we put you out there,

225
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: and you didn't do so hot here tonight, mister Liam Hendrix.

226
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: So you got the two outs of the six innings.

227
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking at that point, okay, all right, fine,

228
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: got out of it. All right, let's see, you know,

229
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: because I expected him to go out for another inning,

230
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: especially with how much of the bullpen's been taxed. But

231
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm telling you, I've watched a lot

232
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: of games over the years, and sure, when you pull

233
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: a guy early, there's been plenty of times where it's

234
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: worked out. I just felt like the circumstances of tonight's game,

235
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: with the heavy workload for the bullpen in the last

236
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: couple of days. Yeah, I just had a bad feeling

237
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: about it. I just didn't feel good about it. I

238
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: was saying to myself, they lost the game. I was

239
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: saying that to myself and Hendrix. I wasn't feeling confident

240
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: about going back out out for that extra inning there,

241
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: and it ended up imploding. Overall, zero two thirds innings,

242
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: three hits, three earned. In the seventh, Torrens, Taylor and

243
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: Acunya got on base, and Acunya actually got on base

244
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: with a There was a challenge play on it. Trevor

245
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: Story made a late throw. They ended up calling Acunya

246
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: safe on the play, so he ended up getting taken out.

247
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: After that, Brendan Bernardino came in, Hey, Bernardino has been

248
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: going a lot lately. It is what it is, you know,

249
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: Hendrix has been fresh to me. If you're looking at someone,

250
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: if you're looking to point the finger, I'm looking at

251
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: the Garrett Crochet thing. Honestly, I'm trying to get as

252
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: many outs as I can. Right again, you could say, oh,

253
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: Hendrix got out of the you know, he finished off

254
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: the inning for Crochet. I'm looking for outs, right, Hendrix.

255
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: If he comes in fresh for the next inning, maybe

256
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: it ends up being a different thing. But Brendan Bernardino,

257
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: he's been worked a lot lately. Brett Beatty to RBI,

258
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: doubled to left and made a three to one soda

259
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: with the sack fly. He got into that one a

260
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: little bit, and then Newcomb ended up finishing it off.

261
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: Another shout out to Newcomb. Right, I did give up

262
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: the Lindor home run. But this guy he just pitched

263
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: a few days ago. Right, he pitched almost five innings

264
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: and he comes back and throws another couple here, Sewan

265
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: Newcomb man looking good, looking good, but uh, we gotta

266
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: get to the offense. Sixteen strikeouts on that night. Is

267
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: that a season high? I think that is a season high.

268
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't remember the last time you struck out that much.

269
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: I believe that as a season high. Did not confirm that.

270
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like I said in the Introl

271
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: first couple of games, you know, twelve combined strikeouts and

272
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: then alone tonight sixteen. I don't know, Famway fanatic, it

273
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: was a season high. Thank you for confirming. Yeah, I

274
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: thought that was a season high. I was about to say,

275
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't remember hearing sixteen this year. But

276
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: the fifth inning, that was your shot right there, and

277
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: it was kind of one of those things I've seen

278
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: a lot of games over the years. You got a

279
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: tie game, you got a basis loaded situation. So guard

280
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: the NARV Dog base hit the Carlos Narvias he talked

281
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: with the play Tessie guys today and he said, Narvy

282
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: is actually the nicknamed. There's been this thing over the

283
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: nickname with Carlos Nervas, but he actually has Narvy tattooed

284
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: on his arm, so that is the nickname. But I'm

285
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: gonna stick with narv Dog. That's I like that one.

286
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: But those two got on Bay story with the strikeout.

287
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: We'll talk about him in just a second. Seid he

288
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: got hit by a pitch, got hit on the hand.

289
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: There ended up being fine, bases loaded, Duran he got

290
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: into one there. The wind was blowing a little bit

291
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: tonight and I was thinking, oh he might he might

292
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: have got into one here and then ended up falling short.

293
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: But the sackfly. Listen, I'm okay with a sackfly. That's fine,

294
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, because you still had another opportunity and McGill

295
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: wild pitch after that said he moved up the second.

296
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: Then Rafi got the walk, you ended up going to

297
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: the bullpen, and but then Bregman's striking out, right, So

298
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: two key strikeouts there when you're trying to build a

299
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: rally against a tiring Trevor McGill story with a strikeout,

300
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: Bregman with a strikeout. Listen, I don't want to I

301
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: don't want to get onto Bregman too much because this

302
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: guy has been phenomenal this year. So you gotta take

303
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: advantage of these opportunities. Gotta take advantage. But you know

304
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: series takeaways, in the end, you win too at a three.

305
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: You win too at a three. That is the goal, right,

306
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: like we met, like we mentioned in the beginning of

307
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: the show, right Caesar saying you gotta win this series.

308
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: That's all you care about. And yes, that is correct.

309
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: So it is a positive one, right. It's it's weird

310
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: when you when you win too at a three, but

311
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: then you lose the last game because it's like you,

312
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: especially with the Red Sox being so up and down

313
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: the way they've been, you want as much, you know,

314
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: Tony Maserati. He talks about this saying he doesn't believe

315
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: in momentum. I I kind of do, right. I think

316
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: when you when you find something that works, you gotta

317
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: keep riding that horse, right, And to me, I felt

318
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: like the Red Sox kind of just got off that

319
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: horse tonight. I'm a believer in momentum, right, especially when

320
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: you got guys that have just figured things out. You're

321
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: all clicking, right, Just seem like things are clicking the

322
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: last couple of days despite the low scoring. But then again,

323
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: you look at the starting pitching with the Mets in

324
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: the bullpen, they've had some of the best pitching in

325
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: the game.

326
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 3: You know.

327
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: So the fact that you're able to get the job

328
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: done those first couple of games, that to me was

329
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: a huge positive, especially against that pitching staff. But here

330
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: are my ups for this series, right, Like I said,

331
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: you figured something out in the first two games. There

332
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: was energy there. You had the bullpen cover, right, that

333
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: was the symbol. Also, shout out a sign. Guy he

334
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: was out there today. He did. I told him on Twitter,

335
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: hey make a sign of the bullpen cover, of the

336
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: bullpen phone cover, make the sign. You know what to do.

337
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: He did it. He actually made the sign and he

338
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: brought it there today during the pregame with Tom Karen

339
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: and was it Lenny DeNardo? I think he was. I

340
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: think Tom Karen he told security to leave the signed

341
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: guy alone because he was holding up the sign behind

342
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: them in the pregame. I thought that was hilarious. But

343
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: you had that you found something fun, you know, it

344
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: just felt like last night. There was a different feel.

345
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, there was just something something just to feel

346
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: good vibe about that one, you know. But Ramone Vasquez,

347
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: here's another up shout out to him, man Ramone Vasquez

348
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: stepping up Alex Korra going to his daughter's graduation. I

349
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: think that was completely fine. But give it up for

350
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: him for great bullpen management. The guy was pushing the

351
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: right buttons at the right time. Love the way Vasquez

352
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: managed those last couple of games. It just felt like

353
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: he was just tuned in. Just felt like he was

354
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: dialed in to just the feel of the game as

355
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: it went along. That was what I got for Ramone Vasquez.

356
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,239
Speaker 1: Didn't leave guys in too long. He pulled them when

357
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: it just felt right. Ramone Vasquez, again, I don't know

358
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: the moves he made. They just felt right. The offense

359
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: looked different. Granted McGill, I will say this, McGill, he

360
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: has been a heavier strikeout picture this year compared to

361
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes and Kadai Senga, so there is that, but

362
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: sixteen strikeouts, he can't be doing that. But I don't know.

363
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: The offense. They were just doing things differently. They were

364
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: taking the bases when they had the opportunities, you know,

365
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: they were moving guys over, taking the runs when they

366
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: were there. Just felt different tonight. It just felt like

367
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: one it's once again in all or nothing kind of

368
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: a night. Another up bullpen, right, bullpen management was great,

369
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: but well that's because the bullpen was fantastic, right, awesome

370
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: job in the first two games. Eleven innings total, zero

371
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: earned runs, eight strikeouts. Overall, bullpen was fantastic. Say what

372
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: you will about tonight, but they look great for a

373
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: couple of games. And then he had a couple of

374
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: key guys stepping up. Jaron duran good game for him tonight,

375
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: and then Game one he had a double and a

376
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: triple in that one. Jaron Durant, he looks like he's back.

377
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: Raffi Narvey stepping up in Game two Yeah, a couple

378
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: of homers. It's all you needed, right key, guys stepping

379
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: up when it mattered most. However, here are my downs.

380
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: We already talked about the decision tonight pulling Crochet. That's

381
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: a down for me. And I'll say this too. Was

382
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 1: that an Alex Kora move? Was that a Craig Breslo move?

383
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't know? Was that a uh? Was that a

384
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: mutual decision? Again? But why wasn't Crochet talked to about this?

385
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. Is that Is that the thing?

386
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: Do you do? You just not talk to your picture?

387
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't want to sound

388
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: ignorant over here, but I don't know. It sounds like

389
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: something you would communicate to your guy. I don't know.

390
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there's a good reason for it. Maybe you

391
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: don't want to talk to the guy. Maybe you don't

392
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: want to talk to Crochet about it because you don't

393
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: want to get it in his head. So maybe that's that,

394
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 1: you know. I don't know. But again I get back

395
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: to the fact that the Red Sox said there was

396
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: no limits with him, and if they're gonna say that,

397
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: then stand by that. Yeah, again, I under managing workload,

398
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: but tonight was not the right night, especially when the

399
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: bullpen was taxed. If your bullpen was fresh, okay, and

400
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: if not, and if you if you weren't, if you

401
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: if you were gonna stand by, you know, Crochet gonna

402
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: have a shorter out of a shorter workload tonight, then

403
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: maybe call up another guy. Right. That might be a

404
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: little difficult because it's like, okay, well who do you

405
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: send down? Could you have done something with Soguard? Probably not,

406
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: because he's been hitting well lately. Abraham Toro, Well, that's

407
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: tough too, because there's no options left with him. They

408
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: probably want to keep Toro until they eventually have their

409
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: answer at first base. So that was that's a little

410
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: bit of a tougher move, right. You can't really do

411
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: much for the roster at this point. So I don't know,

412
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: that's just me man. Another down Trevor story. I'm getting

413
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: a little worried about Trevor's story right now. Tonight. A

414
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: couple of K's two for a lets in the series

415
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: that throw to first base not on time. You know.

416
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: The one thing about Trevor story. Let's go pull up

417
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: the numbers here, Let's go pull up the numbers. The

418
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: one thing with him has been the good defense. Over

419
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, he's been very good. However,

420
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: when you take a look here at the defense this year,

421
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: it's not the same. Right, let's go back last couple

422
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: of years. Here we go back to twenty twenty three. Yeah,

423
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: the arm with Trevor story has always been a thing.

424
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: I remember, you know, he ended up getting the elbow

425
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: surgery at one point. But the range has been very

426
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: good with him. Go back to last year. All right,

427
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: he didn't play as much last year, but still two

428
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: outs above average. Arm was right around there. But then

429
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: this year the range is down. Arm strength right below

430
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: league average, you know. So it's like if he's not

431
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: doing anything with the bat, where he's only hitting two

432
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine at this point, let's let's go pull up

433
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: the up dated numbers with shover story. After tonight hitting

434
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: two twenty eight a six zho three ops. Overall, he

435
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: is getting very close to the five hundreds. There already

436
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: six hundreds. It's like, okay, we got to figure something out.

437
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: But if you're into the fives, you gotta do something,

438
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: all right, this is getting a little warrisome, you know,

439
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the year. The first few weeks,

440
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: I was feeling good about story, right, you know, because

441
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: he was on a pretty good streak. But he was

442
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: doing the little things he was you know, even even

443
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: if he wasn't getting all the hits, so the home runs.

444
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: When he got on base, he would steal a base, right,

445
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: you know. He has six home runs, nine stolen bases

446
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: on the year. He's driven in runs. He drove in

447
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: a run in this series. So it's not like he

448
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: was completely terrible. But the longer the season goes on,

449
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: and if you're not going to have, you know, the

450
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: best possible defense, you can have it short. You know,

451
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: Marcella Meyer's name has been thrown around, right, Christian Campbell

452
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: getting the reps at first base as of late, So

453
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about Marcelo Meyer maybe getting you know,

454
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: that second base opportunity. But I don't know the red

455
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: side in Alex Cora he talked about Christian Campbell yesterday.

456
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: There was a lot going on in last night's game,

457
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: so I wasn't able to cover everything. But you get

458
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: back to that, uh, you know, alex Cora, what he

459
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: was saying, saying that you know, there's not really not

460
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: really a timeline right now for Christian Campbell, They're kind

461
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: of just going with the feel of it. Craig Bruslow

462
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: touched on that as well. So I don't know. It

463
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: makes me wonder, like are they fully set on Campbell

464
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: going to first base? I don't know, like are or

465
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: are they just kind of letting it play out? Are

466
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: they just not sure? Or again, like I said, are

467
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: they just not set with it? I don't know. It

468
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: kind of makes me wonder. I know I've said Raffi's

469
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: staying at DH seems to be the way to go.

470
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does that pop up again? I'm not

471
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: sure what's going on right now. It's basically what I'm

472
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: trying to say say. But if Trevor Story isn't doing

473
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: much for the bat and he's not helping out defensively,

474
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: I think for the most part he's gonna be solid

475
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: out there. But if you can improve Marcella Meyer at

476
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: this point, I think he's going to be an upgrade.

477
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: But then again, you look at the field general part

478
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: of it, You look at the veteran and that Trevor

479
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: Story is you know, you want that veteran out there,

480
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It kind of. It's that

481
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: feel part of it. Right, Story's been there, done that.

482
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: He's been a successful shortstop in Major League Baseball for years,

483
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, minus the last couple of years. So do

484
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: you make that kind of a move mid season? But

485
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: at the end of the day of Marcella Meyer's producing

486
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: and if he's going to upgrade your defense, do you

487
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: make a decision there? Right? Do you do Meyer at shortstop,

488
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: keep Campbell at second and then maybe you figure out,

489
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe Raffi steps up. Right, I'm not sure

490
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: what the answer is. Honestly, I feel like a lot

491
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: of things are in limbo right now. I feel like

492
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: things are just up in the end. I'm not sure.

493
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to wait and see, but we do

494
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: have a quick preview of the next series. We got

495
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: a four game set, ladies and gentlemen, We've got a

496
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: four game set. And listen, there's Baltimore Orioles team. They

497
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: absolutely stink this year. They are not anywhere close to

498
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: the expectations. I'm thinking they're gonna be a wild card

499
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: team this year. Sure, starting pitching didn't look all that

500
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: great coming into the year, but you know, how many

501
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: times have we seen over the years where something doesn't

502
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: look good going into the year, but then they end

503
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: up kind of surprising you. I thought maybe that could

504
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: have happened with the Orioles Eflyn. He's not bad, he's

505
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: not an ace of the staff in my opinion. But

506
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: then I thought, Okay, grayce Ro Rodriguez, he'll come back here.

507
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: You know, eventually they got Kyle Bradish, so thought I

508
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: thought the starting pitcher would be Okay, Holy cal they've

509
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: been very bad this year. They're sixteen to thirty two.

510
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: You got to take advantage of this starting pitching. It's

511
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: the worst starting pitching in Major League Baseball. These got

512
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: Look at these starting pitchers here, Kade Povich, Morton Efflyn Kramer,

513
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: all of them have over a five ERA. You have

514
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: got to take advantage of this. They are twenty seventh

515
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: in strikeouts per nine. Please limit the strikeouts in this series,

516
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: Holy cow, if they're gonna be I'm gonna say this

517
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: right now. If the Red Sox are striking out left

518
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: and right in this series, there's a problem because this

519
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: Oriole staff doesn't strike guys out. I mean they're gonna

520
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: avoid Tomoyuki Sigano. That guy doesn't strike out anyone this

521
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 1: is gonna be I think this is gonna be a

522
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: series obviously every series you watch it, but I'm gonna

523
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: be paying attention to that. If they're gonna be striking

524
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: out a lot, that says more about the Red Sox

525
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: than the Orioles in my opinion, because the Orioles again

526
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: twenty seventh in strikeouts per nine. I think from the

527
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: pitching side of things, the Orioles their top ten when

528
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: it comes to fly balls, fly ball percentage. Got to

529
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: keep the ball down. Lucas Giolito, he's had some issues

530
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: where he's hung some pictures in the last few starts.

531
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: Brian Bayle, I'm looking at him, just looking for him

532
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: to go deep. Eflyn, he's been a little rough as

533
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: of late. Gotta take advantage. Dean Kramer, I mean five

534
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: point five zero era, you gotta take advantage. But everybody,

535
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap it up right there. Thank you for

536
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: joining us tonight. Really do appreciate that. In the end,

537
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: you got a series win. That's the most important thing.

538
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: But hopefully they can build some more momentum here against

539
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: this Orioles team. If you kind of the way out
