Speaker 1: What a ride, ladies and gentlemen, What a ride. I
Speaker 1: had to come to an end sooner or later, right,
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, uh, the fact that we all
Speaker 1: got to experience something like this. I mean, listen, you
Speaker 1: know I started really being a Red Sox die hard.
Speaker 1: You can say the late nineties, early two thousands for me,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I saw a twelve game win streak
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and six. Obviously, you know quite
Speaker 1: a few World series along the way. Two thousand and
Speaker 1: four was an amazing moment. Two thousand and seven, twenty thirteen,
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, all of that was great, but I never,
Speaker 1: I mean, none of us got to experience anything like this.
Speaker 1: It was really cool to see, really cool moment. What
Speaker 1: a ride, What a ride that was. And again, he's
Speaker 1: gotta gotta tip the cat Man because I was just
Speaker 1: incredible to watch. It was incredible to witness. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can look at all the wins they
Speaker 1: put together, but I think what this streak really signified
Speaker 1: was a team coming together. It had to come to
Speaker 1: an end sooner or later. We all knew it was coming.
Speaker 1: But now we can go this is the team, this
Speaker 1: is what they are. Now we know who they are.
Speaker 1: Now they have an identity. Now they put they've thrusted
Speaker 1: themselves back into the postseason mix. When we all thought
Speaker 1: it was done, we thought it was over after Colorado.
Speaker 1: As soon as the game was done there in Colorado,
Speaker 1: you thought that it was done. All right, let's start,
Speaker 1: and the Pats they're starting to, you know, get in
Speaker 1: the camp. You know, we had all the NBA, you know,
Speaker 1: free agency and trades, you know, Jalen Brown, we were
Speaker 1: all starting to get into that. And then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, you sweep the Yankees, you drop a couple
Speaker 1: to the Nationals, and then you tie history the longest
Speaker 1: streak in Red Sox history back in nineteen forty six,
Speaker 1: a team that made it to the World Series unfortunately
Speaker 1: lost in seven games that year, but you match that incredible.
Speaker 1: But you go back to that team, right, You had
Speaker 1: legends on that team, Ted Williams, Bobby Door, just to
Speaker 1: name a couple. And this team was coming off losing
Speaker 1: two out of three to the Colorado Rockies. You could
Speaker 1: argue the worst team in baseball going back over the
Speaker 1: last five years or so, there are fourteen games under
Speaker 1: five hundred. It was over. It was done again. Patriots, Celtics.
Speaker 1: We were looking for that. Heck, maybe even some people
Speaker 1: were getting excited about the Bruins. I don't know, whatever,
Speaker 1: they're already getting ahead start on Bruin's hockey. I don't know.
Speaker 1: Revolution fans, you know who knows we're all double the
Speaker 1: Red Sox, and all of a sudden, they do this,
Speaker 1: they win twenty of twenty three. That's incredible. I've never
Speaker 1: witnessed anything like this. I mean, yeah, with other teams,
Speaker 1: you've seen incredible runs, but as a Red Sox fan,
Speaker 1: never anything like this. I'm honored I got to witness it,
Speaker 1: you know, because later in life, when I'm on my
Speaker 1: last leg, I'll think back to twenty twenty six. You know,
Speaker 1: no matter how this season ends, no matter what ends
Speaker 1: up happening, I got to witness something really cool. That
Speaker 1: just saw a lot of just good solid baseball. You
Speaker 1: had the highest of highs, you know, with the emotions.
Speaker 1: It was fun. I mean, honestly, you know, running this channel.
Speaker 1: We started this channel, we're a little under a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, and we're already getting close to ten
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers here and over this last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: I mean we've been breaking records on this channel. You
Speaker 1: have all been amazing in this support. You've been coming
Speaker 1: out to all of these postgame shows. We've been having
Speaker 1: four hundred, five hundred people in the chat. That's incredible.
Speaker 1: That's a good number for me on my main channel
Speaker 1: if I get that amount of people close to sixty
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers. I had four hundred to five hundred people
Speaker 1: coming in for these shows with not even eight thousand subscribers.
Speaker 1: So I'm just letting you all know at home, I'm
Speaker 1: honored for that and I appreciate your support. That really
Speaker 1: means a lot to me. And I can thank this
Speaker 1: Red Sox team for that because without them, without without
Speaker 1: what they were able to do here, we wouldn't have
Speaker 1: been able to come together as a community here here
Speaker 1: on Massa Territory. It's been an incredible ride and I'm
Speaker 1: very thankful for it. And I'm gonna look back at
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six when I'm old and gray, my hair
Speaker 1: is no longer red, and I'll say, wow, that was
Speaker 1: a That was a really cool year. So again, to
Speaker 1: all of you at home, I appreciate you. This was awesome.
Speaker 1: You know, Going over a few moments, we'll get into
Speaker 1: the game. We'll go over to the couple of games
Speaker 1: here today, we'll take a look at the Blue Jays
Speaker 1: and just a little bit. If anyone does have a
Speaker 1: voicemail they would like to leave voicemail, phone lines are open.
Speaker 1: Number is on the screen three two one two zero
Speaker 1: nine twenty one ninety nine. But my favorite moments, I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously all the wins right to me, the best moment
Speaker 1: is more of a combination of this team just coming together, right.
Speaker 1: But if I'm looking at individual ones, Caleb Durbin's home
Speaker 1: run for me, that that really that that hit me
Speaker 1: pretty good, you know, because that's a guy who's just
Speaker 1: been an underdog his entire life. I love me. We
Speaker 1: all love an underdog story. Well, you know, I get
Speaker 1: sack be with that stuff. Man, you know, like Rocky Rudy,
Speaker 1: you know, love those movies. I'm a sucker for those
Speaker 1: kind of movies. I'm a sucker for those underdog moments.
Speaker 1: And Caleb Durbin's but an underdog his entire life, and
Speaker 1: in that kind of a game with the stakes that
Speaker 1: you had, a back and forth game, a messy game,
Speaker 1: and he hits a home run like that incredible after
Speaker 1: the start of the start of the year that he
Speaker 1: had after losing a star player in Bregman, you know,
Speaker 1: and he was the replacement and a lot of people
Speaker 1: were down on it and the start that he had
Speaker 1: to the year, and he turned it around and he
Speaker 1: comes up with a moment like that. He became a
Speaker 1: fan favorite. That was for me personally, that was mine.
Speaker 1: That was my moment for me. Yeah, that gave me
Speaker 1: the emotions. Man, will you're goodness gracious? Hit like felt
Speaker 1: like he hit like twenty home runs over a couple
Speaker 1: of games, had back to back, a couple of back
Speaker 1: to back, two hoern games. Uh, he had that doubleheader
Speaker 1: double or whatever. On that Saturday game, You're down six
Speaker 1: to three going into the seventh, you have a four
Speaker 1: running hits, a massive home run throws as bad guys
Speaker 1: all fired up Wilson Contreres, fired up Wilson. Wilson throughout
Speaker 1: this whole thing. I mean, shoot, the guy was serving
Speaker 1: a suspension at one point. It wasn't even playing. We
Speaker 1: even got to experience him in the home run derby
Speaker 1: that wasn't even part of the streak, but that was fun.
Speaker 1: You know, he was all fired up throughout this whole thing.
Speaker 1: That's I guess to me, that's the moment for me
Speaker 1: is we have seen the energy from Wilson on this
Speaker 1: team all year. You know, getting into fights left him right,
Speaker 1: but he became the heart of this team during this stretch.
Speaker 1: Could you even say the heart and soul? Definitely at
Speaker 1: least became the heart great pitching. I love pitching. Pitching
Speaker 1: is I'm biased towards it. I pitched in high school.
Speaker 1: I wasn't very good, but I love pitching. Just seeing
Speaker 1: these guys go out it every single day, Just seeing
Speaker 1: different types of ball games being thrown. Sunny Gray just
Speaker 1: masterful at times, Peyton totally you know, yeah, the guy
Speaker 1: would throw like a million fastballs, but you know it's
Speaker 1: always fun to watch. Jake Bennett, I mean literally, Jake Bennett,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is possibly thrusting himself into getting at
Speaker 1: least a couple of Rookie of the Year votes. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about him in just a second, but you know,
Speaker 1: the guys coming together, that's what uh, That's where I
Speaker 1: think the biggest takeaway, that's my favorite part of this
Speaker 1: whole run. But if you want to get into some stats,
Speaker 1: I got some stats that can really give you an
Speaker 1: idea of what this team is or what they're capable
Speaker 1: of the rest of the way. In the month of July,
Speaker 1: they were eleventh in contact percentage. Goodness gracious, he go
Speaker 1: back over the last few years, feels like the Red
Speaker 1: Sox they were either you know, hitting home runs or
Speaker 1: striking out. So seeing that they are eleventh in contact
Speaker 1: percentage in the month of July, that's awesome. Just getting
Speaker 1: the bat on the ball, first in sacrifice hits, seventh
Speaker 1: in sac flies over the month of July, not trying
Speaker 1: to do too much, moving runners over, guys stepping up
Speaker 1: with the bats. This kind of ties into you know,
Speaker 1: guys coming together, but guys that really stepped up over
Speaker 1: this run. You felt like someone different was doing something
Speaker 1: good every single game. Anthony Siegeler, you look at him,
Speaker 1: you know, a guy that you could say was a
Speaker 1: throw in with the Caleb Durban Kyle Harrison trade. But
Speaker 1: Marcella Meyer goes down, he steps up, He brings you energy.
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, you go back to the will your
Speaker 1: home run. This guy was at the top step on
Speaker 1: the on the dirt doing a double fist pump. Holy cow,
Speaker 1: Like the guy was I Remember he didn't even have
Speaker 1: a good game that day, but he was still all
Speaker 1: fired up. Caleb Durban, like I said, he was the
Speaker 1: hero just a few nights ago. Hitting great over the
Speaker 1: last couple of months, he really stepped up over the stretch.
Speaker 1: Mas has come alive, hitting over three hundred with an
Speaker 1: OPS over one thousand in the month of July. Jamai
Speaker 1: Jones in his first Red Sox start, hitting a home run.
Speaker 1: The guy's killed the Red Sox in his career. Mona Stereo.
Speaker 1: He had a bad time on the basis tonight, we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that, but you know, he came up with
Speaker 1: some good performances, right he stepped up in New York
Speaker 1: against the Mets. You did see. You know, one thing
Speaker 1: we've talked about with this Red Sox team going back
Speaker 1: to the beginning of the year was the lack of power.
Speaker 1: Well no, I mean, they weren't by any means leading
Speaker 1: the way in home runs in the month of July
Speaker 1: so far, but they ranked fifteenth in home runs coming
Speaker 1: into tonight. The middle of the order has been huge
Speaker 1: over this run. William Wilson really stepping up here, said
Speaker 1: he he's just consistently been solid. You know, going over
Speaker 1: the whole season, he's been great, absolutely deserved to go
Speaker 1: to the All Star Game. I will say though, I
Speaker 1: will say, well, it's nice to, you know, see those
Speaker 1: guys bringing you the good thump in the middle of
Speaker 1: the order, guys stepping up. They need to figure out
Speaker 1: this leadoff spot. They've got to figure it out. That's
Speaker 1: I think a pretty surprising part of this run is
Speaker 1: they were doing all this while being the worst out
Speaker 1: of the leadoff spot. They were dead last in batting
Speaker 1: average and dead last and ops out of the leadoff
Speaker 1: spot coming into tonight, coming into today. That's like crazy
Speaker 1: to me, Like they have been horrible bat in the
Speaker 1: first part of the order. They have got to get
Speaker 1: that figured out. In my opinion, I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: they maybe they feel like behind the scenes, it's not
Speaker 1: that big of a deal for me. I like a
Speaker 1: leadoff hitter. I like a guy that sets the tone.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you got to figure that out, and
Speaker 1: now you would love for Roman to be able to
Speaker 1: come back at a guy that gets on base. I
Speaker 1: feel like if you if if Roman came back healthy,
Speaker 1: you know tomorrow and you put them in the leadoff spot,
Speaker 1: like holy cow, Like now you're cooking. We'll see could
Speaker 1: that be something they address at the deadline. We've seen
Speaker 1: great defense over this stretch. Caleb Durban phenomenal at third base,
Speaker 1: Sunshade chang Over at shortstop. I mean, holy cow, the
Speaker 1: guy saved the game the other day. SETI great in
Speaker 1: center field. Devias has been solid behind the plate much.
Speaker 1: We've been seeing the aggressiveness with the Red Sox on
Speaker 1: the bases, but it was on display during this run.
Speaker 1: They were eleventh in stolen bases in the month of
Speaker 1: July coming into today. However, I think there were times
Speaker 1: where they did get a little too aggressive that in
Speaker 1: the month of July twenty eighth in base running run value.
Speaker 1: So you kind of saw an example of that here
Speaker 1: tonight with Monasterio getting thrown out a second base. Probably
Speaker 1: should not have tried to stretch that, but like that's
Speaker 1: an example a right coming up clutch over this run
Speaker 1: on eleventh and batting average seventh in ops with runners
Speaker 1: in scoring position in the month of July. Pitching has
Speaker 1: been phenomenal this month. Starting pitching ranks seventh in f WAR,
Speaker 1: top five in el ray. Bullpen has been great second
Speaker 1: in f War this month, first in era. However, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play a little devil's advocate here a role as
Speaker 1: Chapman has been bumpy, has been bumpy. As much as
Speaker 1: we love Chapman, the guy's had an amazing career and
Speaker 1: he's been amazing for the Red Sox since coming here
Speaker 1: last year. He has been bumpy, though, and the numbers
Speaker 1: don't lie. Before and after the Colorado series he's been
Speaker 1: I'd say he's been pretty different. Going into the Rocky series,
Speaker 1: he had about twelve strikeouts per nine, walks were under
Speaker 1: four per nine. The era the FIP looked amazing. I'm
Speaker 1: not even going to count the Rocky series because whatever
Speaker 1: like that is just like just it's Colorado. It's course.
Speaker 1: But after that series his strikeouts have gone down under
Speaker 1: ten per nine and his walks have gone up to
Speaker 1: around five per nine. The command has been off with him.
Speaker 1: You feel like he's giving up more hard hits. That's
Speaker 1: something to pay attention to. I'm not sure, like is
Speaker 1: he fighting something mechanically? Is he going is he working
Speaker 1: through an injury? I'm not sure. I'm not sure, but
Speaker 1: Shaman has been a little bumpy and the numbers don't
Speaker 1: lie all at all. Though, ladies and gentlemen. They've put
Speaker 1: themselves back in to this wildcard picture. I mean, shoot,
Speaker 1: you could even say, I mean they have put themselves
Speaker 1: back into the division picture. Like this is crazy to me.
Speaker 1: July first, they were fourteen back in the division. They're
Speaker 1: currently seven back. They've cut that in half. In the
Speaker 1: wild card July first, they were six games back, and
Speaker 1: now you are holding on to the third wild card
Speaker 1: spot firmly. You are two games ahead of the Mariners
Speaker 1: as we speak. Incredible, incredible, man, oh man. With that said,
Speaker 1: you have got to add you have to do something
Speaker 1: at the deadline. You cannot sit on your hands. Craig
Speaker 1: needs to have his best deadline now. Maybe you know,
Speaker 1: I might be sitting here sounding like, you know, full
Speaker 1: of urgency. Maybe they're a little bit more relaxed about
Speaker 1: it behind the scenes. I don't know, but man, you
Speaker 1: have got to figure out a way to make a
Speaker 1: good move. And of course, you know, you gotta let
Speaker 1: the market play. You can't just force something to happen, right.
Speaker 1: But I hope he gets aggressive. I hope he doesn't
Speaker 1: get stupid with some stuff, because I don't want to
Speaker 1: get yourself into a bad deal like the Jim Boden
Speaker 1: Hunter Goodman trade. I don't care if people keep arguing
Speaker 1: with me about that. That is a terrible trade on paper.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with trading for Hunter Goodman, but not giving
Speaker 1: up Marcella Meyer, Connolly Early, Carlos Narvas and Kyson Witherspoon.
Speaker 1: Now that would be a bad trade. That is a
Speaker 1: bad use of value. You do not do that kind
Speaker 1: of a trade. And I and yeah, you have to
Speaker 1: get uncomfortable to be able to land a guy, but
Speaker 1: not that like there's a difference between uncomfortable and irresponsible.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with getting Go get uncomfortable, go make a move.
Speaker 1: And if you can go make a move for a
Speaker 1: guy that you could have over the next couple of years,
Speaker 1: if there's a way to do that, So yeah, Hunter Goodman,
Speaker 1: Shay Langlers a zach netto even go get a guy
Speaker 1: like that to make it worth it. You know, if
Speaker 1: you have to get a rental, then okay, But if
Speaker 1: you really want to get uncomfortable, go land that guy
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have for a little bit. You gotta
Speaker 1: add this team deserves it. This run was incredible. This
Speaker 1: team is good. It's it's just so it's still bonkers
Speaker 1: to me that, holy cow, how bad they were coming
Speaker 1: out of Colorado and now we're and now we're doing
Speaker 1: this like, man, it's so bonkers to me, like it
Speaker 1: blows my mind. I love that we're having this conversation
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking, you know, a few weeks ago, a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, whenever, whenever it all started, I'm thinking, man, like, geez, like,
Speaker 1: we gotta start thinking like, all right, where are we
Speaker 1: gonna trade Sonny Gray? Where we're gonna trade Shadman? Are
Speaker 1: you gonna hang on to Wilson? I like this a
Speaker 1: lot better. So with that said, ladies and gentlemen, let's
Speaker 1: get things going here. Let's get things going. We got
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about here. That was actually a
Speaker 1: long opening. We do have a couple of sponsors, a
Speaker 1: couple of wonderful friendly sponsors for tonight. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: a quick break because we've been here for about twenty
Speaker 1: minutes already, So take a quick break now, and then
Speaker 1: we'll get into the nitty gritty right back.
Speaker 2: What if you can actually have it all? And I'm
Speaker 2: talking about mint Mobile taking the premium wireless bouginess crats.
Speaker 2: But then bringing it to the transparency in pricing and
Speaker 2: the affordability in pricing.
Speaker 1: They're gonna lay everything out there with a cheap bill
Speaker 1: that you know what everybody can handle.
Speaker 3: Right now.
Speaker 2: You can even bring your current phone and your number
Speaker 2: if you're thinking about it and you're like, I'm worried
Speaker 2: about that, No worries. They have you covered because they're
Speaker 2: able to convert people all the time to the mint
Speaker 2: Mobile way. Go to mint mole dot com slash territory.
Speaker 2: That's mintmobile dot com slash territory. Cut your wireless build
Speaker 2: of fifteen bucks a month at mintmobile dot com slash territory.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 2: There's no catch upfront payment of forty five dollars for
Speaker 2: three months, ninety dollars for six months, or one hundred
Speaker 2: eighty dollars for twelve month. Plan required fifteen dollars per
Speaker 2: month equivalent taxes and fees extra initial plan term only

Speaker 2: Includes up to twenty gigabyte hotspot capable device required, availability,
Speaker 2: speed and coverage varies seemintmobile dot com.
Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to it here, ladies and gentlemen, let's
Speaker 1: go over game one really quick. I know on the
Speaker 1: screen right now we're seeing tonight's game, But let me
Speaker 1: go over game one. Obviously tying history. I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess you could say making history for crying out loud
Speaker 1: winning fifteen games in a row eighty years that we
Speaker 1: since we've seen something like that with the Red Sox.
Speaker 1: But game one, it was a pretty solid game overall.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking after that one, Wow, you actually have a
Speaker 1: shot to really make some history here tonight. The offense, Seti, Wilson,
Speaker 1: Durban all with good games. They all went two for four. Duran, Wow,
Speaker 1: Duran actually coming up with something. Maybe Duran's getting a
Speaker 1: little hot here, even though he has been really struggling,
Speaker 1: he has been hitting the ball a little harder as
Speaker 1: of late. I know tonight, you know, not an amazing
Speaker 1: night for duranm but had his third triple of the year,
Speaker 1: drove in a couple there. In Game one. He had
Speaker 1: a big first inning. Durbin with a base hit that
Speaker 1: drove in two. Duram with a triple that made it
Speaker 1: four to nothing. Seti with his ninth home run of
Speaker 1: the year, or not ninth home run, that's not correct.
Speaker 1: That was what was that. I knew there was something
Speaker 1: wrong with my note. Oh that was his ninth home run. Okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah, no, okay, ninth home run of the year.
Speaker 1: That made a six to two. Jake Bennett not his
Speaker 1: best outing, but he got it done. He navigated. Listen,
Speaker 1: and you gotta remember with the So's team, even though oh,
Speaker 1: we're thinking here, like, oh man, we couldn't make history.
Speaker 1: He couldn't win the sixteenth game, you still won two
Speaker 1: out of three against an Orioles team that was also
Speaker 1: hot coming into this series. You got to remember that,
Speaker 1: like this is an accomplishment. Yeah, of course you weren't
Speaker 1: able to make history here, but that's a really good
Speaker 1: series win in the end. And the Orioles offense, I mean,
Speaker 1: they got a lot of guys that can bang in
Speaker 1: that lineup. Again, he didn't. He wasn't at his best
Speaker 1: here today. He threw a lot of change ups, but
Speaker 1: his fourth seamer got hit really hard here today you
Speaker 1: lean more towards that than the sinker. But the first
Speaker 1: and the second inning, give up a couple of hits,
Speaker 1: a couple of strikeouts along the way. Rolby helped him
Speaker 1: out with a nice grab pop up got away from
Speaker 1: him a little bit, but he recovered. Third inning. I mean,
Speaker 1: you had a lead at this point for nothing, but
Speaker 1: give up a couple of doubles to a Loonzone O'Neill
Speaker 1: that made it four to one, Christian and Canarcio and Strand.
Speaker 1: Holy cow, this guy's come alive. He had a home
Speaker 1: run in the fourth inning that made a four to two.
Speaker 1: Then he bounced back, you know, fifth inning, give him
Speaker 1: a base hit to Alonso and then he struck out
Speaker 1: Tyler O'Neill. Six inning, Kobe Mao had a double and
Speaker 1: then he had another RBI base hit that made a
Speaker 1: six to three. Had a wild pitch there, So again,
Speaker 1: he wasn't at his best here today. Five and two thirds,
Speaker 1: nine hits, three earned three strikeouts, But hey, against an
Speaker 1: Orioles team that has been hot, and listen, you know
Speaker 1: game one, I mean it was a back and forth
Speaker 1: game that they were. I mean, their defenses were really
Speaker 1: cost him in that game. So that the fact that
Speaker 1: he was able to navigate around this Orioles lineup good
Speaker 1: for him. Not his best, but he got the job done.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the Red Sox tying the record fifteen wins
Speaker 1: in a row. But unfortunately Unfortunately it had to come
Speaker 1: to an end sooner or later. Now at Water Rivera
Speaker 1: getting the start here tonight, he was a complete mess
Speaker 1: coming out of this. Here's the thing. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not gonna sit here and get onto
Speaker 1: a water Rivera. This is where I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: play the blame game. That's not what I'm doing. But
Speaker 1: if you're just looking at it from you know, the
Speaker 1: pitching staff, this is where you would like for Bail
Speaker 1: to be able to just be able to start the game.
Speaker 1: You know, the Red Sox have not been good with
Speaker 1: openers this year. They've given up a lot. I think now,
Speaker 1: I believe coming into tonight they had from openers, and
Speaker 1: like Rivera, he opened up a game. I think he
Speaker 1: went like three and two thirds like for guys like that.
Speaker 1: So Rivera, saman Diego and Moran. I believe they had
Speaker 1: given up twelve earned runs over ten innings coming into
Speaker 1: this one. So it's been a a they have not
Speaker 1: been able to get the job done with these openers.
Speaker 1: And then it kept going here tonight again, I think
Speaker 1: it's more so they're just completely out of their routines.
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. It's very odd, but
Speaker 1: he was a disaster ward he flew out. You got
Speaker 1: the first out, but then Alonso with a ground rule
Speaker 1: double gunner with a walk, so the command was off.
Speaker 1: You could see it from the beginning. Tyler O'Neil, you
Speaker 1: had a ground ball to Durban. He throws at a
Speaker 1: Siegler at second base and Siegler dropping the transfer. I
Speaker 1: thought they had the out at second and then they
Speaker 1: said he was safe. I felt like he hadl enough
Speaker 1: control of it. It is what it is. Everyone ended
Speaker 1: up being saved. The base is reloaded. A wild pitch
Speaker 1: with Beavers up, they made it one nothing. Beaver's then
Speaker 1: with a base hit, made it three to nothing. Jonathan
Speaker 1: Rodriguez with a double off the Monster and Duran. He's
Speaker 1: been very good defensively this year, despite the bat not
Speaker 1: really there. He took a bad route this he tried
Speaker 1: to make a play out of it. I don't know.
Speaker 1: And that's another thing I think, could you say, you
Speaker 1: know the Red Sox they had they had history on
Speaker 1: their minds and they were trying to force things in
Speaker 1: the early going, and I think that could be a
Speaker 1: good lesson moving forward. Stick to what has been working,
Speaker 1: don't try to force because you saw that here tonight,
Speaker 1: Duran kind of taking just a weird route, tried to
Speaker 1: make a play and he was nowhere close. The ball
Speaker 1: got buy him. So yeah, holiday able to walk after that.
Speaker 1: Nervaias challenged it too, and I'm thinking, like why that
Speaker 1: wasn't even close and he's challenging it so again, like
Speaker 1: trying to force. That ended up being the end of
Speaker 1: the night for Rivera. BeO ends up coming in and
Speaker 1: you know, Bao actually pitched pretty well, give up a
Speaker 1: few base hits along the way, but overall Bao went
Speaker 1: five to third, give it four hits, but he struck
Speaker 1: out five. Opener. Bao has been great, He's been awesome.
Speaker 1: You just need him to do this starting the game.
Speaker 1: You know, it is what it is. Bail a good
Speaker 1: performance here tonight. But you know, hey, Rivera, I like Rivera.
Speaker 1: I think he's got good stuff. I think that's a
Speaker 1: guy that you know, I'm not. I've been seeing a
Speaker 1: couple of people already saying, oh we got a dfa Rivera. No,
Speaker 1: that's a guy who's shown some good potential, shown some
Speaker 1: good potential. So do they send him back down? Possibly? Maybe,
Speaker 1: But I don't know. Oh do they just option him? Okay,
Speaker 1: I didn't see that, so okay, Rivera has been optioned.
Speaker 1: All right, Well again, that's a guy. I still think
Speaker 1: he's shown that he can really give some some batters,
Speaker 1: some tough abs. You know, he's just got to get there,
Speaker 1: you know, get a bit more consistent mechanically. So it
Speaker 1: is what it is. Unfortunately, the offense well morane. He
Speaker 1: ended up giving up a run later on to Watson Gamboa.
Speaker 1: They were fine after that, but you know the damage
Speaker 1: was done and the Red Sox they just ran into
Speaker 1: Kyle Bradish here tonight, Holy col. You know who the
Speaker 1: Red Sox worst enemy was here tonight? Breaking pitches. Holy cow.
Speaker 1: They could not pick up breaking pitches here tonight. They
Speaker 1: were swinging and missing, got sliders, curve balls, were throwing
Speaker 1: them off, Holy Col. Breaking pitches were not the Red
Speaker 1: Sox friend here tonight. Bratish looked really good. They just
Speaker 1: got the extension for him. That's a guy went healthy.
Speaker 1: He's very good. He was getting a ton of swing
Speaker 1: and miss on sliders out of the zone. He was
Speaker 1: throwing his curve balls for strikes. The Red Sox just
Speaker 1: had no answers. They were getting fooled all night and
Speaker 1: thirdening this is where they started to press. I talked
Speaker 1: about it with Duran nerbias challenging there. But then Monasterio
Speaker 1: playing a little wall ball. You're like, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: here we go back in business, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: he got way too aggressive, tried to turn it into
Speaker 1: a double. He gets thrown out easily. Oh that one,
Speaker 1: that one cheese me off. Man. I'm like, dude, you
Speaker 1: that that isn't It's just I don't know, man, It's
Speaker 1: so listen, I'm not out there playing, I mean whatever,
Speaker 1: but I just feel like, you know, when you're down,
Speaker 1: you want bass runners. But this has been what the
Speaker 1: Red Sox have been preaching with the base running. They're aggressive,
Speaker 1: so it's like kind of it's in their brain at
Speaker 1: this point, like they're just going, you know, it just
Speaker 1: didn't work. It's one of the moments where it didn't
Speaker 1: work out. It's worked out for fifteen straight games, it
Speaker 1: just didn't work out here today. Fourth inning, Wilson of
Speaker 1: the double. He was all fired up, tried to rally
Speaker 1: the troops. Masa had a base hit man At four
Speaker 1: to one, You're thinking, okay, maybe a little could we
Speaker 1: we end up getting some Scott Hadiberg magic from moneyball.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, maybe maybe we got something. You got
Speaker 1: the one run of the fourth. It was funny because
Speaker 1: in the fourth inning, in the fourth it felt like
Speaker 1: that you were already like late in the game, Like
Speaker 1: it felt so intense in the fourth inning, and that's
Speaker 1: that was the moment for me, like, yeah, we've had
Speaker 1: this incredible streak, but that was the moment for me
Speaker 1: where I'm like, we're back. Because obviously, yeah, you've been
Speaker 1: winning a whole lot of games, you're back in the race.
Speaker 1: But this felt to me tonight that we're back. I
Speaker 1: haven't heard Family Park that loud this early in the game,
Speaker 1: Like there were some loud moments last year, obviously, but
Speaker 1: this early in the game. People were revved up, and
Speaker 1: obviously you're going for history, but it's just good to
Speaker 1: see the crowd back in do it again this early.
Speaker 1: I remember that back in the day, back in the
Speaker 1: golden times. I remember that fifth inning. Monasterio did make
Speaker 1: up for it, played the wall ball again, but he
Speaker 1: stayed at first This time. I thought this was pretty funny.
Speaker 1: Taylor Ward. He was laughing because Mona was like, nope, nope, nope,
Speaker 1: not doing that this time didn't lead to anything. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: eighth inning, Jami Jones, he pink hit for Nervas. I
Speaker 1: didn't like that that spot. I'm like thinking, why is
Speaker 1: Jami Jones in here against the righty? Like this is
Speaker 1: the this is the guy you brought in to get
Speaker 1: for lefties. I don't know. Nevias hasn't been amazing with
Speaker 1: the bat this year, but I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: as a guy that's gotten a couple of abs. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just didn't like that pink shit didn't
Speaker 1: lead to anything. He struck out. Siegler had a base
Speaker 1: hit in the eighth inning. The place got really loud
Speaker 1: after that, but that was it. That was it for tonight.
Speaker 1: You had nothing. Ninth inning, weren't able to get anything going.
Speaker 1: You're thinking, Okay, maybe you know Wells back in there
Speaker 1: gave up the home runt of Durban the other night.
Speaker 1: So here's what it is. And I think in the
Speaker 1: chat you're saying, here, don't do it. Team was over
Speaker 1: confident and forgot the small ball. I do think they
Speaker 1: they got away from what they've been doing right for
Speaker 1: the last fifteen games. They were really But again, when
Speaker 1: you're going up against bradish Man, the guy's breaking stuff
Speaker 1: was on point here tonight. He was locked in. He
Speaker 1: had a good feel. When you got a good feel
Speaker 1: for those kind of pitches, you're tough to beat. Tough
Speaker 1: to beat. It is what it is.
Speaker 3: It is what it is.
Speaker 1: But that was it for the Red Sox here tonight,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately the end of their streak. Let's start a
Speaker 1: new one. Got we got more streaks. We got plenty
Speaker 1: more games to make some stuff happen, plenty more. We
Speaker 1: are going to do a preview for the Blue Jays
Speaker 1: series coming up. Also, you know, actually I forgot to say,
Speaker 1: I do you want to do a player of the
Speaker 1: game for today from game one? And uh oh wait, no,
Speaker 1: that's that's not the right one. I did not want
Speaker 1: to go with Caleb Durban. Hold on a second, Hold
Speaker 1: on a second, that's not the right one. Of course,
Speaker 1: we're having technical difficulties over here. Here we go, Here
Speaker 1: we go. I'm gonna go with Seti as my player
Speaker 1: of the game for game one. Had the homer good
Speaker 1: game for SETI in game one. Unfortunately, no Player of
Speaker 1: the game for game two. We only do player of
Speaker 1: the game for the wins unfortunately, but we do have
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays coming up. We'll talk about that. Maybe
Speaker 1: we can start a new streak, but before we do,
Speaker 1: we gonna take another quick break. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1: Alrighty, we got the Blue Jays, ladies and gentlemen, and
Speaker 1: uh blue Jays are not looking good as of late.
Speaker 1: They're free falling as we speak. They have really plummeted.
Speaker 1: And listen, this is a Blue Jays team I've been
Speaker 1: giving a giving a chance to all year, but man,
Speaker 1: they have really been dropping off here. They've lost four
Speaker 1: in a row I believe. Yeah, they've lost here. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: they've lost four in a row, they've lost seven out
Speaker 1: of their last ten. They're ten games under five Hungdred
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a team that's looking like they're probably
Speaker 1: gonna sell. I would imagine Kevin Gosman, maybe Dalton var
Speaker 1: Show could be available there. It's just not looking great
Speaker 1: right now. Unfortunately, we don't have the pitching matchups announced,
Speaker 1: so we'll have to wait and see on that. We
Speaker 1: do have the off day tomorrow, and I also I
Speaker 1: want to point that out too. I think it's a
Speaker 1: really good off day for the Red Sox obviously because
Speaker 1: you had this whole run, but this is a good
Speaker 1: off day where these guys because they yeah, they've had
Speaker 1: some rain outs of course, but you know they're coming
Speaker 1: to the park, right they're they're getting themselves ready, but
Speaker 1: this is now a known day off and they can
Speaker 1: go into tomorrow and sleep in, get themselves recharged a
Speaker 1: little bit, go do what they got to do, you know,
Speaker 1: get baseball off their minds a little bit, and uh,
Speaker 1: that could be a nice off day for them tomorrow,
Speaker 1: so let them recharge those batteries a little bit. But
Speaker 1: of course, like I said, the Blue Jays, they are
Speaker 1: struggling that there are no announced starters at this point,
Speaker 1: but if we're looking at the projected starters here, let
Speaker 1: me pull up the red sox here on Fangrafts and
Speaker 1: right now it's looking like I mean, so Ranger Suarez
Speaker 1: was supposed to start here today but they held him off.
Speaker 1: I guess he has an illness and I think they
Speaker 1: just didn't want to take a chance, you know, him
Speaker 1: coming back from the groin injury, so they wanted to
Speaker 1: be safe. But I would imagine he's going to be
Speaker 1: starting in this series coming on. Patrick Sandoval is lined
Speaker 1: up as well, along with Sonny Gray, but you never know,
Speaker 1: especially with the health still TBD at this point. But
Speaker 1: with the Blue Jays lineup again and they've been really struggling.
Speaker 1: The Blue Jays linup has been struggling all year. It's
Speaker 1: just been a it's been a disaster of a year
Speaker 1: for the Blue Jays coming off a World Series. It
Speaker 1: seems like they just that took so much out of
Speaker 1: him making that run last year. Yeah, I'm even like
Speaker 1: Vlad he's got an OPS under seven hundred. Ernie Clement's
Speaker 1: been solid. Nathan Lucas has been solid. You know, guys
Speaker 1: like Pinango Okamoto, they've been good. But you know, Springer,
Speaker 1: he's really come back down to earth after a good
Speaker 1: year last year, var show ops under seven hundred. I
Speaker 1: think he's missed a little time. Alejandro Kirk was injured.
Speaker 1: They had a lot of injuries. So you know he
Speaker 1: came back recently. You know, he's still finding his way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just been it's been a mess. Now they've gotten
Speaker 1: some great pitching. Now. Looking at the guys that are
Speaker 1: lined up to go against the Red Sox on Fangrafts,
Speaker 1: they're saying Trey Savage for game one, Dylan Sees for
Speaker 1: Game two, and Kevin Gosman for game three. Oh, not
Speaker 1: excited about Kevin Gosman. This guy has wrecked the Red
Speaker 1: Sox in his career. Oh, Phoenix, you're right. The game
Speaker 1: on Fridays on Apple Oh, Apple TV, man, Man, that
Speaker 1: we just had one on Apple TV a little bit ago. Man,
Speaker 1: There's been so many Red Sox games on you know,
Speaker 1: like the what was it on Peacock or NBC or
Speaker 1: whatever it was, and they had the golf tournament on
Speaker 1: for the whole thing. Oh, I couldn't even watch the
Speaker 1: game until the fourth inning or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Gosh Apple TV again anyway, But hey, with the Blue
Speaker 1: Jays again. With the offense has been struggling. They haven't
Speaker 1: getting good pitching as well. You know, guys in the
Speaker 1: bullpen too. Louis Varland has been great, Rogers has been
Speaker 1: a solid pick up. Jeff Hoffman's been a lot better
Speaker 1: in a setup role. So yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: gott to try and figure out a way to get
Speaker 1: to the picture.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: The offense still struggling, but yeah, gotta be careful some
Speaker 1: of these guys, right, We'll see how that goes again
Speaker 1: off day tomorrow. Then you got that for the weekend series.
Speaker 1: Getting closer and closer to the deadline, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: But we got a couple of voicemails.
Speaker 3: Hi, Robbie, quick question.
Speaker 6: I wanted to know what your thoughts were on Marcelo
Speaker 6: Meyer being connected to the fifteen game win streak, because
Speaker 6: if he noticed, he was on the injured list at
Speaker 6: the start of this and he hasn't been part of
Speaker 6: the playing group since then.
Speaker 3: Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for all the
Speaker 3: great stuff.
Speaker 1: Hi, thank you, my friend. We can hear it this time.
Speaker 1: I apologize, ladies and gentlemen. I didn't realize the audio
Speaker 1: was turned off. That's weird. I don't know why that
Speaker 1: was turned off. But oh, you couldn't hear the first voicemail.
Speaker 1: So we just sat here quietly. I'm sorry. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: everybody about that. Oh that's awkward anyway, right, Marcella Meyer. Again,
Speaker 1: I've always I've been speculating about him, Like I said,
Speaker 1: year and a half ago, I was told, you know,
Speaker 1: there were concerns about him, you know, getting into the
Speaker 1: weight room consistently, you know, getting himself ready. But that again,
Speaker 1: that was a while ago, so no correlation in my opinion,
Speaker 1: with now. But it is interesting that going back to
Speaker 1: the off season, we've heard him pop up in rumors
Speaker 1: like you hear his name. I don't know, it's interesting,
Speaker 1: but yeah, he's been on the I l I don't
Speaker 1: question him wanting to be out there and playing, but
Speaker 1: I'm not really going to read a whole a whole
Speaker 1: lot into it. I think he was trying to play
Speaker 1: through an injury and he just wasn't effective. I think
Speaker 1: it's that. I don't think it's really anything more than that.
Speaker 1: I don't really read too much into that stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean who because I don't know what's going on
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. So I'm not gonna be the radioheads
Speaker 1: that you know they try to take a story or
Speaker 1: any kind of a story and try to twist it.
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that because I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything behind the scenes, so that's not
Speaker 1: my job. My job is to I'm looking at numbers,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the stats. I'm looking at how the
Speaker 1: games are being played. And his production was down. He
Speaker 1: goes on the il with an arm injury. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: leave it at that because that's what I know. So
Speaker 1: I think it was really that. I just think he
Speaker 1: just wasn't getting the job done, and you got a
Speaker 1: high energy guy like Siegler who was able to step in.
Speaker 1: He's come back down to earth. So you kind of
Speaker 1: wonder if second base is going to be something they address.
Speaker 1: So I see in the chat Paul Roberts his very
Speaker 1: little value. He still has good value because of the
Speaker 1: recent prospect status. He was a top fifteen prospect that's
Speaker 1: very good, and he plays a high value position at
Speaker 1: short His value is definitely dropped. It's still good though,
Speaker 1: but it's definitely come down. So if you were a trade, Meyer,
Speaker 1: you are going to be selling low on him. But
Speaker 1: I wonder if there is a possible way to get
Speaker 1: creative there. You know, I wouldn't say he's a bust. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I see in the chat, mister Poe. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say he's a bust yet. You know why because look
Speaker 1: at the guy that just won the home run derby,
Speaker 1: Jordan Walker. Do you know how many times I was
Speaker 1: seeing people saying that guy was a bust. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a first round pick back in twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: years he wasn't able to get anything going, and you
Speaker 1: look at him this year, breakout year, wins the home
Speaker 1: run derby. We've seen time and time again, guys, it
Speaker 1: takes him a little longer, you know. And Meyer, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean that he got drafted like
Speaker 1: a little after that twenty twenty that weird year of
Speaker 1: twenty two. We were back to normal pretty much at
Speaker 1: that point. I don't know, like who knows, you know,
Speaker 1: what's been going on with all the injuries and everything.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say he's a bust because there's plenty
Speaker 1: of time. But obviously he's got to get himself going
Speaker 1: here because his values drop him by the day. Get healthy,
Speaker 1: and let's see what he looks like when he comes back.
Speaker 1: But yeah, just to answer this question really quick, I
Speaker 1: I don't know anything else other than the numbers that
Speaker 1: we see on the field and the fact that he's
Speaker 1: on the EYO. I'm gonna leave it that, But I
Speaker 1: think it says more to the guys that were able
Speaker 1: to step up for sure.
Speaker 3: Hey, Robbie loves the show. Just gotta say quick question.
Speaker 6: If you're Craig Breslo, what's to encourage you to.
Speaker 3: Add during the deadline? If you had a fifty game.
Speaker 6: Winning streak, why would you need to answer this team?
Speaker 6: If and Anthony and Garrett Cursha coming back allegedly, why
Speaker 6: mortgage the future if you have a team right now
Speaker 6: they can win, thinks by it's.
Speaker 1: A good point. It's a it's a very good point.
Speaker 1: I think that's a big question mark with those two though.
Speaker 1: Like Garrett Crochet, he talked I believe today or yesterday
Speaker 1: saying that he's looking to come back for the postseason,
Speaker 1: hopefully sooner than you know, much sooner than that, but
Speaker 1: it looks like they're eyeing hopefully a September return. But
Speaker 1: you know, he's still not even he's not even ramping
Speaker 1: up his throwing yet, so he still has a long
Speaker 1: way to go. He's gonna have to get out there
Speaker 1: back in the rehab assignments. That's a big question. Big question.
Speaker 1: Roman's a big question too. He's still not swinging a
Speaker 1: bat last time we checked, you know, so they're really
Speaker 1: being careful about that one. Hopefully once he starts swinging,
Speaker 1: he's good to go. I think you should add it
Speaker 1: always comes down to, like I've said a million times,
Speaker 1: what is the market going to be. We don't know
Speaker 1: that answer yet because there are still a lot of
Speaker 1: teams that have not declared what they are, so we
Speaker 1: don't know the full market yet. You don't know what
Speaker 1: opportunity is going to come out. You got to wait
Speaker 1: and see on all that if there is an opportunity
Speaker 1: where you can move on from guys that you are
Speaker 1: comfortable moving on from. I mean, you always got to
Speaker 1: get uncomfortable, but you have to to an extent be
Speaker 1: somewhat comfortable moving on from some guys obviously, because are
Speaker 1: willing to move on from them. So if there is
Speaker 1: an opportunity to bring in a guy that's under control
Speaker 1: for you know, two to three years to help you
Speaker 1: in this lineup, I think be open to that. If
Speaker 1: you're able to get someone like Luis a Rise who
Speaker 1: would be a rental, and if you can part with
Speaker 1: guys that you know that uh like, obviously I'm not
Speaker 1: giving up Franklin Arius for Luis a Rise. That's nonsense.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1: But if you can find a deal that is not
Speaker 1: going to mortgage your farms system, and or you know,
Speaker 1: find some guys that you can move comfortably but uncomfortable
Speaker 1: at the same time, if that makes sense, then a
Speaker 1: go for it. You know, or you know we've been
Speaker 1: hearing about you know, Luis Garcia Junior. You know that
Speaker 1: could be in a way. I almost look at that
Speaker 1: as like a happy medium kind of a kind of
Speaker 1: a move because you'd have him for one more year.
Speaker 1: He's a guy that could really give you some good
Speaker 1: production from the left side. You just wonder how does
Speaker 1: he fit exactly? But you kind of wonder if if
Speaker 1: you can make some kind of an upgrade offensively, I'd
Speaker 1: be open to that. If you can find a way
Speaker 1: to fit him. And of course, like you know, that's
Speaker 1: where I look at the catcher position. It's it's very
Speaker 1: rare to make a big blockbuster trade for a catcher
Speaker 1: at the deadline. We we have that experience with Victor Martinez,
Speaker 1: that was a one of the you had Jonathan Luke Croix,
Speaker 1: that was another one. You don't see those moves very often.
Speaker 1: Could this be a rare time to do it? There's
Speaker 1: you know, you might have an opportunity if you can
Speaker 1: go get someone like Langleiars, that'd be awesome, you know,
Speaker 1: And again you just ping shit nervas for Jami Jones
Speaker 1: here tonight against the riding. That almost to me is
Speaker 1: like a sign like you you have really got to
Speaker 1: get some offense at that position. This could be your
Speaker 1: chance to go get someone like Langliers. I think you'd
Speaker 1: fit well with the team. He's got a cannon of
Speaker 1: an arm. Nervus is gonna move better behind the plate.
Speaker 1: But I'd be willing to sacrifice Nervas's blocks to get
Speaker 1: that arm in Langleiars. I think that's a trade off
Speaker 1: that you can do because you're also gonna get offense, right,
Speaker 1: You're gonna get that power from the right side of
Speaker 1: the plate. Now that might come down a little bit
Speaker 1: with a green Monster, the expected home runs for him
Speaker 1: at Fenway Park do come down a little bit, but
Speaker 1: still to get that kind of production from the right
Speaker 1: side of the plate be awesome, Be awesome. Anyway, we
Speaker 1: got let me play one more voicemail.
Speaker 7: Hey, Robbie, great wind streak here for Boston. My question was,
Speaker 7: what are your thoughts on trading Connolly Early With the
Speaker 7: emergence of Jake Bennett and the just amazing play as
Speaker 7: Sonny Gray Rangers swore is Peyton Totley and then with
Speaker 7: Ansten coming up with Crochet returning, what's your thoughts on
Speaker 7: maybe training Connolly Early.
Speaker 1: For that's you know, I was thinking about this earlier
Speaker 1: and I've mentioned Connolly Early is like, could he maybe
Speaker 1: in the right deal? Like, no, I'm not moving Marcelo Meyer,
Speaker 1: Connolly Early and Carlos Narvas along with Kyson Witherspoon for
Speaker 1: Hunter Goodman. I'm not doing that, But could there be
Speaker 1: some kind of a move because you mentioned it here
Speaker 1: with Bennett, who's really emerged, could there be something there
Speaker 1: with Early? But then again, you wonder what's Ranger going
Speaker 1: to be looking like moving forward? Would the Red Sox actually,
Speaker 1: and you see, you know what, obviously you won fifteen
Speaker 1: in a row, so it's great. So I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: sit here and say, oh, well look at this loss
Speaker 1: here tonight, like oh look, you see you have to
Speaker 1: do this right So no, like you just want fifteen
Speaker 1: in a row. However, when you think you just had to,
Speaker 1: you know, you go the openers have not been good. Bail, Sure,
Speaker 1: he's been going out of the bullpen, but do you
Speaker 1: want to have to keep trying this or would you
Speaker 1: rather just have a starter that can go every fifth day?
Speaker 1: Or would you you know, even if you gotta, you know,
Speaker 1: figure out who that guy would be every fifth day
Speaker 1: or every sixth day, would would you rather have that
Speaker 1: depth at this point? Because they have been having some injuries.
Speaker 1: So I wonder if the Red Sox at this point
Speaker 1: would rather kind of like what they did with the
Speaker 1: outfield last year, right having the four guys. I wonder
Speaker 1: if they would rather keep all of their pitching right now. Again,
Speaker 1: you never know what kind of an opportunity could come up.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but you kind of wonder if maybe
Speaker 1: they would rather hang onto their pitching depth, just in
Speaker 1: case if something ends up happening and you also think
Speaker 1: about it. Jake Bennett Payton totally Connolly Early kind of
Speaker 1: rolling with a sort of like a kind of like
Speaker 1: a six man in rotation. I'm not saying that exactly,
Speaker 1: but having that much depth could manage their innings better
Speaker 1: in the second half. Something to think about, you know,
Speaker 1: something to think about. But again, you've got to be
Speaker 1: open to whatever opportunities come up. So if you have
Speaker 1: a chance, for example, to get someone like Langlear's and
Speaker 1: the A's want Connolly Early. I think you listen, I
Speaker 1: think you listen. But we'll see, we'll see. We had
Speaker 1: some super chats come in. Let me get to those
Speaker 1: really quick, some good old so we had a few
Speaker 1: super chats here from Steve. Oh no, I missed a
Speaker 1: super chat Steve. I'm sorry, Robbie missed my super chat.
Speaker 1: The BAO formula hasn't worked all season. I'll only pull
Speaker 1: it back up. What to run though Duran still Steve
Speaker 1: cannot stand Jared Duran. Steve wants Jared Duran gone to
Speaker 1: the deadline. I'm sorry, mister super chat. Where did I miss?
Speaker 6: That?
Speaker 1: Was it from the other night? I apologize I apologize,
Speaker 1: but yeah, Bao, that's I just wonder what his role
Speaker 1: is going to be. I mean, do they send him
Speaker 1: back down to Woolster, you know, or do they keep
Speaker 1: him in this bullpen as a long reliever. I think
Speaker 1: that the fact that he got sent down to Worcester,
Speaker 1: I think at this point he's in a place where
Speaker 1: he'd be kind of happy with any sort of role
Speaker 1: on the major league team. So that's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: to pay attention to. Mister Poe. What do you think
Speaker 1: of Monasterio a batting leadoff? I mean, I guess I'm
Speaker 1: you know, you can try it out against lefties. I'd
Speaker 1: be cool with that. I don't know about righty's though, lefties,
Speaker 1: i'd be open to something like that. We'll see. Glad
Speaker 1: to see. He's been hitting better lately, though, Paul Roberts,
Speaker 1: what do you think it would be to take to
Speaker 1: get a rise? He'd be amazing in the lead off
Speaker 1: spot and over it wants a power back. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be tough to be you know,
Speaker 1: Langleiars Goodman come to come to mind Netto. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be tough to land those guys. They're gonna be expensive,
Speaker 1: but a rise. I just wonder if he ends up
Speaker 1: being realistic. I mean, if we're looking here, let me
Speaker 1: let me throw the simulator on really quick. Let me
Speaker 1: go to Baseball Trade Values. See what we got cooking.
Speaker 1: Let me get all this set up here. Arise is
Speaker 1: not going to cost you someone like Arius, No way,
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. It probably will cost you
Speaker 1: something pretty decent though. I imagine at least one guy in
Speaker 1: the top ten. So if I pulled up a Rise,
Speaker 1: where are you at? So, yeah, he's got some decent value.
Speaker 1: It's not like a major surplus. He's at around six
Speaker 1: and a half on Baseball Trade Values, So you know,
Speaker 1: could this be a spot where you send back, say,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like would this possibly take Kyson Witherspoon,
Speaker 1: You know, could that be a situation where that comes
Speaker 1: into play or like a Henry Godbout, you know, kind
Speaker 1: of like one of those guys you know, like like
Speaker 1: you know value eyes here on the simulator. That would
Speaker 1: be like a minor overpay. But you kind of wonder,
Speaker 1: like someone in that that range, like if I were
Speaker 1: to pull up the Red Sox top prospects, let me
Speaker 1: see Red Sox top prospects here on pipeline, So like
Speaker 1: Kayson Witherspoon's number four, I mean he was their first
Speaker 1: round picks. I don't know if they'd want to give
Speaker 1: him up for a rental. I feel like you'd be
Speaker 1: more like you put him in a package. But you know,
Speaker 1: like Marcus Phillips, like, do you like if you had
Speaker 1: a situation where you had to send back Henry Godbout
Speaker 1: and Marcus Phillips for Luisa Rise. That is an example
Speaker 1: of like, oh man, that's like, oh you got to
Speaker 1: give up you know, god Bout's been good to the miners. Phillips,
Speaker 1: he was a higher draft pick. He's struggled this year,
Speaker 1: but still there's potential with him, Like do you give
Speaker 1: up those two guys? Like in this point, like Mikey Romero,
Speaker 1: you kind of wonder if he could get you know,
Speaker 1: he's having a down, Like could he be involved in
Speaker 1: something like joelan Cespitis, Like could that be a guy
Speaker 1: you maybe moved back in a deal for someone like
Speaker 1: a Rise. I would say it's guys that are like
Speaker 1: in that like six to ten range that you could
Speaker 1: maybe move for a rise, someone like god Bout or
Speaker 1: Phillips or Cespitis, who has been hitting better this year,
Speaker 1: like he on pipeline, he's ranked, he's dropped. He's number
Speaker 1: sixteen in their system on pipeline. But you know, he's
Speaker 1: not getting on base a lot this year. The batting
Speaker 1: average is a little lower, but he's got a slugging
Speaker 1: a four eighty six. So he's got seventeen home runs,
Speaker 1: so he's hitting for some good power. So you kind
Speaker 1: of wonder like could that be a guy that you
Speaker 1: send back? You know, I could say, you know, I
Speaker 1: actually wonder like, could you do you know that's an infielder,
Speaker 1: let's do that, let's do let's type him in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like could you do like Cesspitas and Marcus Phillips for
Speaker 1: a rise? Yeah, you're giving up a little bit there.
Speaker 1: That is a that's actually that's considered a major overpay.
Speaker 1: But but again it's the deadline. So yeah, you're you're
Speaker 1: gonna be seeing a lot of overpays minor or major.
Speaker 1: So like, could this be a deal for a rise?
Speaker 1: You know, that's kind of where I think. I don't
Speaker 1: think it gets any crazier, like for someone like Arius,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that happens. So we'll see, Oh,
Speaker 1: super Chat at the buzzer. I was about to wrap
Speaker 1: it up right there. Super Chat coming on in from
Speaker 1: the Mexican superman. U bos role is ease the innings
Speaker 1: of rookie pictures. I think you be honest something with that, right,
Speaker 1: A guy that can come in I wonder if they
Speaker 1: do that like a few innings after these, like a
Speaker 1: piggyback kind of a thing. We heard that a lot
Speaker 1: with the Mariners this year. But could you do that
Speaker 1: here where he comes in for a few innings to
Speaker 1: kind of help manage innings a little bit? You know,
Speaker 1: I don't mind that. Again, pay attention to Bayo here
Speaker 1: in the second half if he has some kind of
Speaker 1: a role in the bullpen, because he has picked well
Speaker 1: out of the bullpen, kind of like a happy medium.
Speaker 1: He's not coming in for just one, he's not starting,
Speaker 1: but he can go for a few innings. You see
Speaker 1: it every time he comes out of the bullpen. He's fine.
Speaker 1: So because he because you can simplify things coming out
Speaker 1: of the bullpen. But everybody, I'm gonna wrap it up
Speaker 1: right there. That is all we got here for tonight.
Speaker 1: We've been here for an hour. It was a it
Speaker 1: was a great run. It was a great stretch. Uh,
Speaker 1: something I've never seen, something we've never seen, and we
Speaker 1: got to do it together. It was fun day off.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we're back to business on Friday. We've got the
Speaker 1: deadline coming up, and it's good to know that we're
Speaker 1: in a good spot going into the deadline. Hopefully they
Speaker 1: can keep winning here the next week. Let's not drop
Speaker 1: like you know, let's not drop some games here. Let's
Speaker 1: keep this going, keep the winning ways up. Got go
Speaker 1: into this deadline strong, going into the deadline in a
Speaker 1: good note. But I think either way, you know they're
