1 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to massa territory brought 2 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: to you about the Foul Territory Network. Good morning. If 3 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: you are listening to this the following morning, it is 4 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: eleven twenty as of right now here on the East Coast. Yeah, 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: kind of a bummer here tonight. You had the worst 6 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: start of Garat Crochet's year so far. They were able 7 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: to make a nice comeback there tonight in the end, close, 8 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: but no cigar. A little too little, too late. And 9 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: I got off to a great start here, great start. 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman homering in his return to Houston, got a 11 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: nice ovation there at the start of the game. I 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: got a nice tribute. I mean, obviously he did a 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 1: lot of good things with the Astros, and hey, he 14 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: got his h he got his post Astro career in 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: Houston started off on the right foot. Unfortunately, get Crochet 16 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: just terrible timing, you know. And I've talked about this 17 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: before with Crochet. Where I mean, yes, this is the warpig, 18 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: this is our guy, right, this is why you're paying 19 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: this guy the big bucks. He's been one of the 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: best starters in all of Major League Baseball this year. 21 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: He is definitely gonna get some cy Young votes, but 22 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be great every single time. He's gonna 23 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: have a couple of hiccups along the way. And the 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: Astros they just had him figured out here tonight. I 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: don't know what was going on there. I don't know 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: if I mean, I don't think, honestly it was really 27 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: any sort of like tip pitching or anything, or pitch tipping, sorry, 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: anything like that. I think Crochet was just off tonight. 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: I think the command was down. I think the stuff, 30 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: especially with the cutter, was a bit down. Just too 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: many hitable pitches. I just don't think he was able 32 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: to hit his spots. The Astros they were just hacking away. 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: They were just swinging left and right, and they were 34 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: just hoping to get the bat on the ball with Crochet. 35 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what happened there tonight. A couple of 36 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: home runs off of him, extra base hits all over 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: the place. Just not a good night for Crochet. And 38 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: you're thinking this one. You know, I'm pretty sure a 39 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: lot of you turned off the TV at some point, 40 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: and I don't blame you. It was seven to two 41 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: at one point, you know, Jordan Hicks came in. It 42 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: feels like anytime Jordan Hicks comes into the game, it 43 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: feels like game over at that point. I'll give you 44 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: my thoughts on Jordan Hicks. Hearing just a little bit. 45 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: But they made a nice comeback there in the seventh. 46 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: You know, I don't like seeing all these runs come 47 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: come in bunches, but they made it exciting there. They 48 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: made it a one run game. The Astros Bullpen. They 49 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: just held on for dear life and they were able 50 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: to knuckle it down to the end. But you know, 51 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: they showed you something there in the seventh, right Toro, 52 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: he's been in a massive slump. He went deep mass up. 53 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: He contributed in a pink shit appearance. Roman Anthony, the 54 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: guy's just special, right, And you know, you know what's 55 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: so frustrating. You know what's so frustrating is I'm seeing 56 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: people on Twitter land. It drives me insane. Why are 57 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: we paying Roman Anthony the big bucks if he's not 58 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: coming through you know, at the end of these games, 59 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: he's striking out in these key situations. Why are we 60 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: paying this bum? This is like, holy bad take? Can 61 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: we cut it out? It's it's like, dude, I wonder 62 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: if some of these people on social media if they 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: actually watch the game. I don't know, I don't I 64 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: don't get it, because Roman, this guy's special, right, big 65 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: jack there tonight two run shot, tied it up in 66 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: San Diego, had to walk off against the Astros not 67 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: too long ago. I mean, what else does the guy 68 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: have to do in his rookie season. And then you 69 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: got people on here saying, oh my goodness, what a 70 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: waste of money striking out to end the game. It's like, well, 71 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: give me a break, give me a break. Unbelievable, you know, 72 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: Roman coming through in a big spot there and unfortunately, yeah, 73 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: striking out to end the game. But you know what, 74 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: the fact that he was he was the reason, along 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: with you know, to Toro and Massa contributing as well, 76 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: he was the big reason you're even in that spot 77 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: in the first place. So I don't want to hear it. 78 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear the nonsense. Roman, Anthony's amazing. 79 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: This guy is gonna be a special player. Anyway, moving 80 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: on here, you had the big comeback there, you just 81 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: fell short in the end. You know, there was one 82 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: decision that I thought was interesting late in the game, 83 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: romy Gonzalez stealing second base getting thrown out. No, I 84 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not a big fan of that. You know, 85 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: Rob Refsnyder. He was up against the righty, so it 86 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: wasn't like he was in that perfect situation to try 87 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: and do some damage off a lefty. Let me actually 88 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: double check on that one. Who I think it was? 89 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: Was it Amyell? I'm going so blank on that. I 90 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: believe that was Onyel de los Santos who was pitching? 91 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: Or was it? Hold on? Give me a second, Give 92 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: me a second, ladies and gentlemen, hold on, hold on, 93 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: hold on. We are looking because this is gonna drive 94 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: me nuts if I can't figure out or remember who 95 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 1: was pitching there in that spot that was Let's see, 96 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: Yeah it was de los Santos. Yeah, he had come 97 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: in here, replays Steven Okert. So you had the righty 98 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: righty mashup against ref Snyder. But still, I don't like 99 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: taking the bat out of a guy's hand. That's just 100 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: how I feel about that. Right, there's two outs, I mean, yeah, 101 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: the runners on first. Would moving him into scoring position 102 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: obviously help you out? Yes, But I don't know, man. 103 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: I've always been one of those where I just don't 104 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: like taking the bat out of a guy's hand, you 105 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: know who knows. Maybe Robins up, you know, coming through 106 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: with something there. Anyway, it is what it is, other 107 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: than the game here, we got some roster moves that 108 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: happened today. David Hamilton, Chris Murphy getting sent back down. 109 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: I'll give you my thoughts on Hamilton along with Murphy 110 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: in a little bit, Nick Birdie getting as well. And 111 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: then a couple of call ups, a couple of call 112 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: ups from Triple A. Ali Sangchez. That might be a 113 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: name you haven't heard of all too much. We'll talk 114 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: about him in just a little bit. That is the 115 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: now the third catcher at the major league roster. And 116 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: Giovanni Moran he's getting the call here. Remember they got 117 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: him back in a trade not too long ago. We'll 118 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: talk about him as well. And there's even talk about 119 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: maybe another prospect down on the Red Sox system, Luis Parrales. 120 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: There's possibly some talks going on that maybe he could 121 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: get called up to the Red Sox by the end 122 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: of the year. You might be scratching your head hearing 123 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: me saying that, well, Robbie, didn't you get Tommy John well, yeah, 124 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: that's what kind of makes it intriguing. We'll talk about 125 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: that by the end of the show here tonight. We 126 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: do have a couple of sponsors here tonight. I'll get 127 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: to those in just a little bit.

Now let's get to it here. 133 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: Let's get to Garrett Croche. Obviously, it was a tough night. Yes, 134 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: the comeback, that was a big story on the night 135 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: here tonight. But Crochet, you know, if you didn't have 136 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: that comeback, this was gonna be the top story on 137 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: the night. He looked really good in the first couple 138 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: of innings. He had a few stroke not even a few. 139 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: He had four strikeouts over the first couple of innings there, 140 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: and then he just ran into a freight train in 141 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: the third inning. Cam Smith with a double sweeper didn't 142 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: quite have that same bite on there on that one. 143 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: Carlos Krea with the base hit that made a two 144 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: to one it was a fastball right over the middle. 145 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: You can't be leaving pictures like that with Korea, especially 146 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: a rejuvenated Carlos Correa. Can't be doing that. And then 147 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,119 Speaker 1: Christian Walker, this guy's been just wrecking the Red Sox 148 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: this year. You go back to that last series, he 149 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: had a couple of key hits there. He had the 150 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: home run that made a three to two. It was 151 00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: a one to two count he was trying to put 152 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: away and it was a cutter that he threw that 153 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: lacked bite tonight. There was a little less movement on 154 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: that pitch there tonight and it looked a little more 155 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: flat than usual, caught a little bit too much of 156 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: the plate. Yeah, can't be doing that. Christian Walker. Sure 157 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: he's had a down year compared to what he's done 158 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: over the last few years, but you can't leave a 159 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: pitch open over the plate like that. And then the 160 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: fourth inning the misery continued. Arius had the double. There 161 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: was a nine pitch ab so you know, caps off 162 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: to him for fighting against crochet like that. And then 163 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: you know on the double, the pitch there, fastball caught 164 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: too much of the plate. I think Chas McCormick with 165 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: the home run the mine five to two. He left 166 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: a sinker up on the first pitch. He just didn't 167 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: have the command there tonight. The location really lacked. Like 168 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: I said, the cutter didn't really have any bite. It 169 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: looked flat, at least to me. And overall, his worst 170 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: start of the year. Four innings, seven hits, five earned 171 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: five k's, two homers. And like I said at the 172 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: beginning of the show here just around five minutes ago, 173 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: You're not gonna have a perfect start every single time. 174 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: You know, even go back to Trek Scooble against the 175 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: Red Sox back you know a few months ago, a 176 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: couple of months ago, or the Red Sox got to him. 177 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: You know, so like these starts are gonna happen. That's 178 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: where part of me I kind of wish the Red Sox. 179 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm not gonna keep going back to 180 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: the deadline, but you just wonder by the end of 181 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: the year, you know, however, you know, however the season ends, 182 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: you know, the Red Sox fall short in the end, 183 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: you just wonder if another guy behind Crochet could have 184 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: made a lot of a difference, right, because you know, 185 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: something like this could happen in the postseason. You never know. 186 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: So it is what it is. It is what it is. 187 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: But this is where you gotta have guys behind him 188 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 1: in the bullpen. You gotta have guys behind him in 189 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: the bullpen. And Jordan Hicks he followed him up there 190 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: giving up another home run. I mean, Jordan Hicks, I 191 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: don't know what to say. I really don't. I'm kind 192 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: of at almost at the end of my rope with 193 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks. I mean, it's the same old thing. It's 194 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: good stuff, but he just can't locate the Command's off. 195 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:07,479 Speaker 1: There's definitely something mechanically going on. There is something mechanically 196 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: going on. In my opinion, I would love to figure 197 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: out what that is. But he just has no command. 198 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: He's just throwing it. He's just a thrower at this point. 199 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, you know, this year, but 200 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: he just feels like a guy that I don't know. 201 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: Even though you're down, you're down at that point five 202 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: to two, I mean, still it's a three run game. 203 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: You want this guy to come in or whoever to 204 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: come in and just keep it tight. And look what 205 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: the Red Sox did late you know this, this could 206 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: have ended up being a win here tonight. But Jordan Hicks, 207 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: he's just not reliable. And I think at some point, 208 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder if Core is gonna trust him 209 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: enough even when you're down three runs. I mean, because 210 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: you're still in it at that point you can't help. 211 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: But wonder, man if at some point they turn their 212 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: eyes to the miners and you look at a guy 213 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: like David Sandlin, who has pictured a couple of games 214 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: in relief here over the past week. Still, you know, 215 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: David Sandlin, this is a guy that's been a starter, 216 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: so he's still trying to find his bearings coming out 217 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: of the bullpen. You know, trust me, these starters, they're 218 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: all about routine, right, and when you're going to a 219 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: new routine like that, it is gonna take you some time. 220 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: I can't help but think of when Kurt Shilling when 221 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: they were using him as a closer back in two 222 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: thousand and five. Remember that who in the chat remembers 223 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: Kurt Shilling as the closer in two thousand and five. 224 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, I remember at the time when that, 225 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: when they were first doing that, I got revved up 226 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: over the idea, but it didn't work. He just didn't. 227 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, the guy had been, you know, 228 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: the starter for years. It's like it's hard to make 229 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: that transition. So David Sandlin, I mean, yeah, great arm 230 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people on social media 231 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: they'll say, oh, you know, David Sandlin. I mean, this 232 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: guy's got great stuff. He's got a good fastball. You know, 233 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: he's breaking stuff. Has looked really good this year. You 234 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: gotta find your bearings there first, though, So let's see 235 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: how he looks over the next couple of weeks. I hope, 236 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: I hope David Sandlin ends up figuring it out out 237 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: of the bullpen and he gets a routine that he 238 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,599 Speaker 1: finds comfortable. But he could be an option if he 239 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: gets it, gets it figured out, and then uh Luis Parles, 240 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: we'll talk about him after we're done with the wrap 241 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: up here. We got a little something on him as well. 242 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: But you just wonder if someone else is gonna get 243 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: a shot at some point. I just think Hicks right now, 244 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: he's just not reliable now. Even Isaiah Campbell, he came in, 245 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: he looked pretty good in the sixth inning there, Whitlock 246 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: he was fantastic in the seventh and the eighth. You know, so, no, man, 247 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: as we get closer to the postseason, you gotta start 248 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: figuring out these roles. You have got to get this 249 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: bullpen the rolls figured out. I'm all about the rolls, 250 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: the rolls in the bullpen, the rolls on the dinner plate. 251 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm all about the rolls. But you gotta get this 252 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: figured out here. We're getting to the offense here, get 253 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: into the offense. I mean, like I said at the 254 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: start of the show, you know what, actually hold on 255 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: one second, we do have a word from our sponsor. 256 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: I'll get to the offensing just a second. I'll be 257 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: right back. 258 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 2: We have a little breaking news on Hello Fresh.

They 280 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: got off to a hot start, like I said, Roman 281 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: had the base hit first picture of the game, and 282 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: then Bregman with the dinger, just like old times in 283 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: Houston hanging sweeper. They made it to nothing and then 284 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: you know they could have gone for more here the 285 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: Red Sox over the last week or so, they were 286 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: doing so well for a while there when they had 287 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: their opportunities right in front of their face to keep 288 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: adding on. It just falls short. And you had that 289 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: again here, even though yes, you got off to the 290 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: good lead there, but Duran he had the walk. He 291 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: stole second story with the PopOut, Will you're actually Carlos 292 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: Korea have been a nice play on will your bray 293 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: you at third base to get him? But yeah, you 294 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: know with Duran and scoring position, when you got that 295 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: speed there, one little bloop that could have been a 296 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: three to nothing game. Second inning again, you know you 297 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: had another runner at second with Seti. He got the walk, 298 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: he stole second, and then he got picked off. He 299 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: looked like he was trying to steal third again the 300 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: Seti base running. Oh there's times where it's like, man, 301 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: what what are we doing? You got picked off? You 302 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: ended up getting caught there. I just don't understand, Like 303 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: Renel Blanco, you know this guy just came back and 304 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: you're thinking to yourself and you already got off to 305 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: a good start against him, Like, why are we trying 306 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: to be that aggressive against him? You have the speed, 307 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: Just hang out at second base. I don't get that 308 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: drove me nuts. Fifth inning Roman he got him. Rome 309 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: was just hitting the ball hard there tonight. I'm in 310 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: deep drive his center and dared getting caught. But the 311 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: big seventh inning there, that was the story for the 312 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: offense there. Abraham Toro, we just talked about this past weekend, 313 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: how he's been struggling. He got into one there that 314 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: made it seven to three. At the time, Seti, it 315 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: was funny. I talk about the base running, but this 316 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: is where Seti kind of redeemed himself a little bit. 317 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: He had the double, he thought about going to third 318 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: and I'm staying at second. I'm thinking as soon as 319 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: he started making that turn, I'm like, no, please, don't 320 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: go to third. And he ended up staying. So there 321 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: were two outs, there was no need to do it. 322 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: And then Masa he pined shit for Carlosnerviz. Great call 323 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: there got the double that scored another run, and then 324 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: Roman absolute shot out there into the bullpen. He's special. 325 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: He is absolutely special. Like I said, three clutch moments 326 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: already on the year, had the walk off hit against 327 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: the Astros of Femway. He had the game tying home 328 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: run against the Po's Rays, but in the end he 329 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: just couldn't come through there all right. Romy ended up 330 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: shining steel second base, trying to get the runner in 331 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: the scoringosition. I understand it again, this is hard because 332 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: I do I see both sides to it. One one side. 333 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: I just don't like taking the bat out out of 334 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: a player's hand, and I know it's rober f Sider. 335 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: He's a lefty machine. He's a lefty killer. He's a 336 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: machine against the lefties. He was going up against the 337 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: righty in that situation. So you kinda you're thinking to yourself, Okay, 338 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: it's not the best matchup, you know when you look 339 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: at the splits, right, so maybe you do want to 340 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: give yourself a better chance of getting that runner into 341 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: scoring position. Right. But I see both sides, I really do. 342 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: For me, I didn't hate it necessarily, but it was 343 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: frustrating for sure. Frustrating. But then Del Santosh, Yeah, guy 344 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: closed it out in the ninth. Couldn't do anything well. 345 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: Connor Wong did. Connor Wong, I think that's the most 346 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: I mean, with what we've been seeing from Connor Wong. 347 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I hope I'm wrong, and I hope he 348 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: ends up doing better than what he did there. But 349 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: that might be the most clutch Connor Wong hit I 350 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: think we'll see this year. I mean, my goodness, it 351 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: was a hard hit ball to short bounced off his 352 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: off his cleat or whatever, off his glove. I couldn't 353 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: quite see, went into the outfield. Wong. You know, the 354 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: one thing about Wong that I think is pretty underrated 355 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: is his athleticism. He's got a bit of speed and 356 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: him getting in a second base, so he gave you 357 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: a chance right there. And then Roman came up. And 358 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: you can't expect the rookie to do everything. And that's 359 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: why it's gonna drive me insane when someone is gonna 360 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: say something about Roman on social media even though he 361 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: was the big reason why you're even in that spot 362 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: in the first place. You know, so it is what 363 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: it is. Final score seven to six, Red Sox just 364 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: falling short there. But you know, a few takeaways, a 365 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: few takeaways again, Crochet, he is not going to be 366 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: at his best every single start. He's gonna have a 367 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: hiccup there. And you know, I think with Crochet in 368 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: a way, it's like, you know, there's things about it 369 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: where you can try to turn a negative into a positive. 370 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: And I'm sure he's gonna look at it this way. 371 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna look to see what he can do better 372 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,959 Speaker 1: against the team like this, right against the team that 373 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: has these kind of bats. If you run up against 374 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: the Astros in the postseason and Crochet is on the 375 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: mount in Houston. Well, he's gonna have to look back 376 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: at this start and think, Okay, what adjustments can he make? Right, 377 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: and with how good he's been, I think he's gonna 378 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: be a guy that really uses this for some fuel. Absolutely, so, 379 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: I guess you could look at that as a positive takeaway. 380 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: Getting back to the bullpen, You've got to figure out 381 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: what are you gonna be doing here in these middle innings? Right? 382 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: Is Jordan Hicks still gonna be a guy that you 383 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: keep going to do? You go someone else at this point? 384 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: You know, well, this is where I would love for 385 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: Justin Slayton to hurry up and get back. No, don't 386 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: hurry up too soon and rush yourself and then get 387 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: hurt again. No, I don't want that. Come back healthy. 388 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: But that's where Justin Slayton is going to be huge 389 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: when he comes back and or you go to the miners, 390 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: you know, maybe give someone like Sandlin a chance or 391 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: Luis Parles a chance. Here. We'll talk about that in 392 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: just a little bit. We are going to get to 393 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: the game to preview. Before we do, let's take a 394 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: quick look at the standings here, just like we're going 395 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: to be doing pretty much every post game, and uh, 396 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: you know again, you have been playing amazing here over 397 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: the last five You've lost four to five now, but hey, 398 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: you're still firmly in that spot. You're still looking all right. 399 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: So sixty five and fifty five as of right now, 400 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: you're still up on the Yankee so the third card 401 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,479 Speaker 1: spot game and a half. The Yankees did win here tonight, 402 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: and I mean they've been struggling as of late, but 403 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, not too much of a change. The Mariners 404 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: did win their seventh straight here tonight, so they are 405 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: now sixty six and fifty three. They're a game and 406 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: a half up on the Red Sox for the first 407 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: Wild card, three games up on the Yankees as well. Guardians, 408 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: they lost again here. They had a bit. I don't 409 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: let me take that back. They've been playing very well, 410 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: but they lost here tonight. They're a game out from 411 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: the third spot. The Rangers. They got hot there for 412 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: a little bit. They've been slumping. They've lost four straight. 413 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: They're three back, so not too much of a concern 414 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: when it comes to the standings. But you know, it's 415 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: it's unfortunate that you fall a game behind here from 416 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: the Mariners for the first spot. So getting to the 417 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: game two preview. Now, this is going to be interesting 418 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: because to me, you know, listen, I don't want to 419 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: start getting into a habit here starting to lose series 420 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: left him right, we were winning how many they went 421 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: fourth straight series. I don't want to start a losing 422 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: series all over the place. I don't want that. So 423 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big one for Dustin May 424 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: here tomorrow. He did not look good in his debut 425 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox. Again, I do think he is 426 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: better suited for the bullpen. I think for him, this guy, 427 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: I mean, that guy's a competitor man. You know, say 428 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: what you will about Dustin May, but that guy wants 429 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: to go out there and compete. And he's been a 430 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: starder his whole career. So I think the sound of 431 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: going to the bullpen for him is probably like nails 432 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: on a chalkboard. But I do wonder if that's going 433 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: to be the best spot for him, you know, getting 434 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: back here to Jordan Hicks, could that be a guy 435 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: that you turn to. I don't know, I don't know. 436 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: Would he be a good fit in the bullpen? I 437 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: don't know. Who knows. We just talked about earlier finding 438 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: a routine out there that would be new for him. 439 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he's pictured a little bit in the bullpen 440 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 1: in the past, but you know, this year he's made 441 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: nine he starts, so I don't know, but he didn't 442 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: look good at his last start against the Royals three 443 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: and two thirds, six hits, three earned. He looked all 444 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: right in the first couple of innings. He was getting 445 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: some swinging misses, but his VLO started to drop. He 446 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: looked gassed. Hey, first start after the trade deadline debut 447 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: with the Red Sox, we can just say that's a 448 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: mulligan right there. Let's see how he does here. But 449 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: these Astros bats looking hot here tonight. This gonna be 450 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: a tough matchup. But the Red Sox, listen, you know 451 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: they got a favorable matchup. Two. Spencer Arraghetty, he came 452 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: back not too long ago. He missed a lot of 453 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: time with a fractured thumb. He did not look good 454 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: in his last outing here against the Marlins three and 455 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: two thirds eleven hits five earned, did a five K 456 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: So there is some swinging miss there. But he's had 457 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: issues going back here the last couple of years, where 458 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: he's been home run prone. The command has not been great. 459 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: So hey the Red Sox, you know they got hot there. 460 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: Can they carry that momentum here into Game two against 461 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: Spencer Arraghty, We will see. We will see not much 462 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: experience against Dustin May. Taylor Trammel has a home run 463 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: against him in two abs. Other than that, though not 464 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: much else. Christian Walker does have four hits against Dustin May, 465 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: so let's see if they can figure out a way 466 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: to get him down. And then against Araghetti, Yoshida does 467 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: have a home run against him, so I would expect 468 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: Yoshida to be in that lineup tomorrow. We will see 469 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: how this goes. But if you are with me on, nesson, 470 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: we are gonna start wrapping it up here in the 471 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: next couple of minutes. We are just about out of time, 472 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: so if you do want to see the remaining the 473 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: full remaining segment of tonight's show, we're gonna talk about 474 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: the roster moves that happened today and some potential roster 475 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: moves as well.

Getting dfa Nick Birdie. 509 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: He was a guy that was pitching well down in 510 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: the minor leagues this year, was pitching well at times 511 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: with the Red Sox. He got called up at one point, 512 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: but in the end the Red Sox felt like, hey, 513 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: they had some other options there and also getting sent down. 514 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: We had David Hamilton and Chris Murphy. Now David Hampton, 515 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: excuse me, David Hamilton. When that game against the Posras 516 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: happened right where he was unable to put down the 517 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: bunt there he was trying to bunt for a hit 518 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: instead of just getting the bat on the ball. And 519 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: just getting the bunt down ended up striking out on 520 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: that and then at second base. You know, people were 521 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: talking about Xander pushing the hand off, but for me, 522 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: you just got to make a better slide overall, you 523 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: got to make the slide and just get onto the 524 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: bag and then don't slide off of it. Right. If 525 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: that doesn't happen, we're not even talking about that, right. 526 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: So that's kind of where once I saw that, because 527 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: really David Hamilton, he's extremely limited. You know, sure he's 528 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: had a couple of hits along the way, but not 529 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: really a whole lot all to be honest on the year. 530 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 1: And the one thing he has is his speed, and 531 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: that's where he can bring a lot of value. Right. 532 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: But if he's unable to put down a bunt, if 533 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: he's unable to stay on the bag on a stolen base, 534 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: then is he really bringing you a whole lot of value? Right? 535 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: And that's something maybe he can just go clean up 536 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: down to the minors and maybe he ends up getting 537 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,640 Speaker 1: back up later on, we'll see, but coming back up here. 538 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: But it's not just David Hamilton. I think I think 539 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: one of the call ups, I think it probably said 540 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: that the Red Sox they felt like they needed to 541 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: secure this position a little bit more, and that's the 542 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: Kexture position. And uh, they just recently claimed Ali Sangchez 543 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: from the Toronto Blue Jays caxture. And actually, when you 544 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: take a look here, when it comes to his advanced metrics, 545 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: it's not a qualified sample size, but overall he has 546 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: a great pop time. He has a very good arm 547 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: one point nine to zero on the pop time that 548 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: I mean, even though it's not enough of a sample 549 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: to be qualified, it's still ranks very high. And then 550 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: he's a good blocker behind the plate. He has two 551 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: blocks above average on the year. And you know, with 552 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: Carlos Nervas, you know, seeming like he needs a bit 553 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: more rest here down the stretch. Kind of wonder if 554 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: the Red Sox they're looking at that and they're thinking, 555 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: all right, I think, right now, we're pretty fun, We're fine, 556 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: you know when it comes to the infield, feel like 557 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: we're all right. They I think wanted to get a 558 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: bit more depth at catchure. I think just to kind 559 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: of manage Carlosnervas a bit more. Could this maybe mean 560 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: something for Connor Wong at some point I don't know. 561 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: You know, with Wong, I find that unlikely to be honest, 562 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, because Wong, at the end of the day, 563 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, sure, has he been the most productive player? No? Right, no, 564 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: but he knows the pitching staff that has value in itself, 565 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: all right. But then again, maybe the Red Sox feel like, 566 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: if they really want to have the best roster possible 567 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: and if Ali Sanchez, if he starts showing a couple 568 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: of things, could that be a route they go. And 569 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: when you take a look at the numbers with Sanchez 570 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: here on Prospect Savant, he's got some reds here. When 571 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: it comes to the battle ball profile, doesn't He wasn't 572 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: striking out a ton. I mean he was kind of 573 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: middle of the road, a little blow average, but not 574 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: a whole lot of swing and miss. He was in 575 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: the sixty six percentile down at Triple A. You know, 576 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: there's there's some things with Ali Sanchez that you kind 577 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: of wonder. I mean, it's not gonna anything that you know, 578 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: blows the roof off the place. But at Triple A 579 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: this year he was hitting two seventy nine. He had 580 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: a three forty seven on base four nineteen on the slugging. 581 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, what's the really going to be 582 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: at the major league level, but you know it was 583 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: he was having some success. He had six homers over 584 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: fifty four games. So when you look at that, that 585 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: defensive profile that he's been able to show along with 586 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: a couple of good things when it comes to play, 587 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: I wonder if the Red Sox feel like maybe he 588 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: could be a guy they turned to more often. We 589 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: will see on that one. Another guy they called up 590 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: was Giovanni Moran. Remember with Giovanni Moran, they got him 591 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: in a trade. We have the Twins a little while 592 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: back that this past offseason, and he hadn't really he 593 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: hasn't really pitched right well twenty twenty four he ended 594 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: up being out with an injury for the entire year. 595 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: But he did show some decent things with the Twins 596 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Had over ten strikeouts per nine, 597 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: was very good at keeping the ball in the yard, 598 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: zero point six home runs per nine, had a three 599 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: point eight to two on the PIP a very high 600 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: era though five point three to one. He was walking 601 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: a lot of guys five point seven walks per nine. 602 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: So this kind of reminds me a little bit of 603 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: Jorge Alkala, but just a completely different profile. Right, there 604 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: were some good metrics there and this year down in 605 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: the minor leagues, I mean, this guy was fictioning great 606 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox down there. Eighteen games overall, twenty 607 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: six innings. Elray was a three point eight one FIP 608 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: was at a one point eighty four. He had almost 609 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 1: fifteen strikeouts per nine, under three walks per nine, zero 610 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: point three home runs per nine. There could be something here. 611 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 1: There could be something here when it comes to Moran 612 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: and taking a look and you got some reds here 613 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 1: on prospects Savant, there's a good amount here. He was 614 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: getting a good like we just saw the strikeouts ranked 615 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: very high, very good walk percentage. He was keeping the 616 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: hard hits down a lot. He was ninety first percent 617 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: TI with a hard hit percentage. So yeah, why not 618 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: give this guy a shot? Gives you a different look 619 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: back there, and uh, taking a look here when it 620 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: came to his stuff. Plus, the fastball is an interesting 621 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: picture with him because there's not a lot of v 622 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: low on it, but there's action on the fastball, has 623 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: a lot of vertical action and uh, overall the stuff 624 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: plus on it was a one pH one now at 625 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: the major league level among all pictures where at least 626 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: thirty innings pitched. When it came to the fastballs, that 627 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: stuff plus would rank top thirty overall. Let's see how 628 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: it translates. But stuff of stuff at the end of 629 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: the day, right, we'll see if that can translate. But 630 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 1: I think this is an interesting one. You know, could 631 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: this guy end up having a pretty decent role for 632 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: the Red Sox down the stretch. We will see on that. Now, 633 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: there is one more interesting move that could end up happening. Right, 634 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: we saw the debut of Peyton totally with triple A. 635 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 1: Got off to a rough start, but then he really 636 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: settled down, looked a lot better. And we've talked about, 637 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,919 Speaker 1: you know, could he be a guy that maybe gets 638 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: a couple of starts down the stretch. We'll see. David 639 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: Sandlin has been a hot topic. He was, like we 640 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: just talked about earlier, a starter. Now he's in the 641 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: bullpen and the Red Sox definitely think he could be 642 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 1: a guy that can contribute. Still has to get settled in. 643 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: But another guy, Louis Parals Alex Spear had this in 644 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: the Boston Globe one potential X factor for the Red 645 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,919 Speaker 1: Sox down the stretch. Right hander Luis Parals, The twenty 646 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: two year old, is more than a year removed from 647 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery. He's on track to start throwing live 648 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: batting practice at the end of the month. Given his 649 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: potential for a triple digit fastball to go with the 650 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: splitter and slider, the Red Sox haven't ruled him out 651 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: as an end of the year contributor if everything goes 652 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: according to schedule, and that's always an If there's a 653 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: high v low arm with multiple spin pitches and a 654 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: splitter that we're pretty excited about, I don't know, I mean, 655 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: that's interesting. When you take a look at the Red 656 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: Sox top prospects on Baseball America, Luis Parles ranks number eighth. Yeah, 657 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: he's got a big fastball. They got a sixty five 658 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: grade with him. He's gonna be in the upper nineties 659 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: a lot. He got a lot of good life on it. 660 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 1: He's got a good cutter. He's got a good splitter 661 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: as well. They get a fifty five grade for each. 662 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: And when you go back, when you take a look 663 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 1: here at his numbers, let me actually pull up his 664 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: numbers here on fangrafts. Going back to his last well 665 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: we go back to last year, that's when he was 666 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: last pitching. He had nine games, nine starts, thirty three 667 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 1: and two thirds innings. He hit a two point nine 668 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: to four el ray and a one point nine one 669 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: on the FIP fifteen strikeouts per nine between High A 670 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,239 Speaker 1: and Double A, so didn't really get too much of 671 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: a sample. At Double A he had a couple of starts, 672 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: but I mean he was looking phenomenal. Twelve's he had, 673 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,280 Speaker 1: how many we can just look at the standard numbers. 674 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: When it came to his two Double A starts over 675 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: the seven and a third innings, he had ten strikeouts. 676 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: He only gave up one run four hits, so pretty 677 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 1: good numbers. Again, small sample, but this is a guy 678 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: that has shown a lot of promise. You know, if 679 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: you go back even to twenty twenty three in a 680 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: ball era under four eleven and a half strikeouts per nine. 681 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: His command was a little iffy at that time five strikeout, 682 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 1: five walks per nine, but he's really you know, well, 683 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: the last time he pitched looked a lot better. So 684 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: this is definitely a talented arm and it was unfortunate 685 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: they had he had to miss so much time. My 686 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,880 Speaker 1: thoughts on this, I don't know about this one. I 687 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:03,439 Speaker 1: don't know, man, Like, you're just coming back from Tommy John, 688 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: you're throwing bullpens. Is this something you really want to 689 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: rush right now? Is that? Is it a smart thing? 690 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: Because you listen when you're if you're Louis Parles, I mean, 691 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: what a great story that would be. I mean, it 692 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: would be an amazing story, and that'd be cool if 693 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: it happened. But I just look at the health and again, 694 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: you know the Red Sox, they have a great medical staff. 695 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean, they know a lot more than I do. 696 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: But do you want to be a guy that's coming 697 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: back from Tommy John who didn't even pitch in Triple A? 698 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I don't know, man, I 699 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:43,799 Speaker 1: don't know if you want to rush that. You know, 700 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: they just especially when you come up to Boston, there's 701 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,319 Speaker 1: gonna be some adrenaline there. The guy's gonna be just 702 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: chucking fastballs, right. I don't know, the thought of it. 703 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: It kind of makes me cringe a little bit, to 704 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: be completely honest. If it happens and healthy, hey great, right, 705 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: I just wonder about the long term health. He's a 706 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: young arm just coming back. Do you really want to 707 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 1: risk it? I don't know. Just again, you're gonna have 708 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: that extra juice and you know one one bad thing. 709 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: You know, of course, one bad throat can happen anytime, 710 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: but do you want that one bad throw mechanics getting 711 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: off a little bit? Do you want that to happen 712 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 1: after you just got him back, hadn't even pictured triple 713 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: A yet. Is that something you want to do? I 714 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: don't know. Sounds a little risky. If it happens and 715 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: everything goes fine, what a great story that would be. 716 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: We will see on that one, but everybody, that is 717 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: the news for tonight. Unfortunately, a rough one for the 718 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 1: Red Sox tonight. Well it was looking all right there 719 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: at the end, but we weren't able to close the deal. 720 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: Let's see if Garrett Crochet can bounce back at his 721 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: next start. Let's see if the offense can keep it 722 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: rolling here tomorrow to back dust and may gonna need 723 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,280 Speaker 1: a better star from him.
