1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: Good evening, everybody. Hello, Hello, Welcome to masa territory brought

2
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: to you by the Foul Territory Network. I don't know

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: how to feel after this series win. You know, you

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: should feel pretty good. You should be feeling all right,

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: all right, you got the series W. Nothing can bother me?

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: But why am I feeling so bothered right now? First

7
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: couple of games, hey, solid stuff, you know, pretty solid pitching,

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: getting timely offense, tons of runs on the board in

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: the first game, you know, will you're stepping up here

10
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: in game two earlier today and then tonight it's back

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: to the same old thing, the same old song and dance,

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: the same old mistakes, errors, base running mistakes, runners in

13
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: scoring position, left behind. You're always reverting to these problems.

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: It's it's a constant thing. It's been a tug of

15
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: war all year. And when is it gonna end? When?

16
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: You know? And here's the thing. I know. I might

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: sound like, oh, Robbie, come on, they got the series W.

18
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: You're not. You're not gonna have you know, a perfect

19
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: game every single time. But you know what, when it

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: happens all year, and when it just keeps going and

21
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: going and going and going, some more. It gets frustrating

22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: and I even tweeted out during the game like what

23
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: like enough is enough? Basically like when are we going

24
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: to start relying more on fundamentals and baseball IQ? And

25
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: that's coming from me with the potato brain. There comes

26
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: a point where listen, ex of Vlo's great athleticism is great,

27
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: but you gotta have the fundamentals on the baseball IQ

28
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: as well. It keeps happening and it's worrisome. And I

29
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: get it. You got the All Star break here, maybe

30
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: that'll be, you know, the best thing for this team.

31
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, a few days away, maybe that's gonna

32
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: be the best remedy for this team in the second half.

33
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: But will it be. Are they gonna start cleaning this up?

34
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Are they? You know? Listen, and again, I'd love to

35
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: have a sweep, I really would, But and you know,

36
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: I'd love to have a series win, any any series

37
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: of the year. I mean, hey, series wins are great,

38
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: that's what you aim for. Sweeps are luxury at the

39
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: end of the day. But when you lose a sweep,

40
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: when you had one in the palm of your hands

41
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: and you lose one because of the same old mistakes

42
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: that keep biting you in the butt. That's when it's frustrating.

43
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you if you lose a hard fought game,

44
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: right the other team they just come out on top

45
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: in the end. You're right, you tip the cap and

46
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: you be like, all right, you know, hey, we could

47
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: have had that sweep. But it is what it is. Hey,

48
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: they played just a little bit better. But when you

49
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: beat yourself, that is when it's so frustrating. And you know,

50
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: we even saw today as well. Hey, hate to get

51
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: onto Alex cor here a little bit. What was going

52
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: on with this bullpen tonight? What was going on with

53
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: the bullpen management? You know how many times are we

54
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna keep putting Greg Weisser out there when it's very

55
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: clear over the last you know how many of your

56
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: so outings for him that uh, he's probably starting to

57
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: wear it out a little bit. You're starting to see

58
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: some signs of cracking in the armor. And you just

59
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: got a guy in Jordan Hicks who looked great in

60
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: his debut the other night. Why wasn't Jordan Hicks in

61
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: the game earlier in this one? Where was Garrett Whitlock tonight?

62
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: What are we doing? I don't get it. I don't know.

63
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: Just I don't mean to sound frustrated, because again, it

64
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: was a series win, so I'm not gonna complain about that,

65
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: but it's it's just losing the same way every single time,

66
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: and I can't keep doing this. My poor potato brain

67
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: can't handle this too much longer, man. But it is

68
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: what it is. The show has to go on, no

69
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: matter how frustrated I might be, no matter how broken

70
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: my brain might be. But you did win game one today.

71
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: Let's go over that really quick before we get into

72
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: tonight's game again. It took. It took a little while, right,

73
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: a lot of rain coming into Femway Park last night.

74
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: You know, it was funny because I was watching the

75
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: game and I was also working on stuff for the

76
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: main channel as well. That's a normal routine of mine.

77
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm watching the game plugged in, but also, you know,

78
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: trying to get some things done for other videos. I

79
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: just posted video today if anyone wants to go watch that.

80
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: But so I'm watching the game last night, and all

81
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm on MLB. They have this the

82
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: rain delay sounds or whatever. It's not on like a commercial.

83
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: It's just these sounds and you hear they play this

84
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: constant sound of the crowd right cheering and you know

85
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: whatever else, and I'm listening to it for so long,

86
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I just realized the game was in

87
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: a weather delight. It was in a rain delay for

88
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: so long, and I'm thinking the entire time, like Dave

89
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: O'Brien just stopped talking or something, and I was like, oh,

90
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: they're in a rain delay. I didn't even notice it.

91
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious, but anyway, Yeah, a lot of rain, a

92
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: lot of lightning. I figured once I saw, you know,

93
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: people posting pictures of lightning at Femway Park and I

94
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: looked at the radar. I'm like, yep, I don't think

95
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna get this game in. There was an hour

96
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: I think it was showing that maybe around like eleven

97
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: o'clock you could have had a little bit of time

98
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: to you know, get it in, but then you're gonna

99
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: have more rain around like midnight or so. I figured

100
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: the game was gonna get called. And uh, then they

101
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: got it in today. So they won that one five

102
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: to three for the offense today. Roman, well, last night

103
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: Roman got it started. Nice to see Roman keeping it

104
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: on going. Here had the RBI base hit in the

105
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: first inning, Carlos Durvas with a couple of RBIs. He

106
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: tied it up in the sixth inning, and then will

107
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: you or bray This guy's been red hot as of late,

108
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: had the go ahead base hit in the eighth. He

109
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: went two for three with an RBI in that one.

110
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: Let me pull up here, will your a bray You's

111
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: numbers over the last fifteen and thirty games. The numbers

112
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: are looking great with him. Over the last thirty games

113
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: he has a four to seventy nine slugging But he's

114
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: really gotten hot over the last couple of weeks, sitting

115
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: three zero four a six h nine on the slugging.

116
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: In his last seven games he's got four homers with

117
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: an eighth eight slugging. Will your bray you red hot

118
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: as of late? And it just makes me wonder, getting

119
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: close to the trade deadline, where are they gonna hang

120
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: on to if they decide to move an outfield or

121
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: if that's the way they end up going. Is it

122
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna be Duran, Is it gonna be Willier? I mean,

123
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: the way Willier's been looking here, especially with the power

124
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: upside that he has and the ability that he has

125
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: playing right field man. It's it's kind of hard to

126
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: argue trading Willier at this point. We'll get to that

127
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: a little bit. Jim Boden did come out with an

128
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: article on the athletic Uh. When it comes to, you know,

129
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: things he was hearing about the trade deadline, you kind

130
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: of have to take Jim Bowden with a pinch of salt.

131
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that a little bit later, but you know,

132
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: we'll dive into that one. He had some Red Sox

133
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: players in there as well, but Willier red hot as

134
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: of late. When it came to the pitching right you

135
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: had Richard Fitz start last night. He took the first

136
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: three innings, give up a run, and then Brian Bayo

137
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: he got the start there today. They decided to go

138
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: with the bullpen game tonight. He went five innings, one hit,

139
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: two earned, give up a home run there to Spencer

140
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: Steer in the fourth inning. But overall, Brian Bao looking

141
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: pretty solid here. A lot of weak contact, a lot

142
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: of sinkers on the day, ground balls. So Brian Bao

143
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: looking very steady here today against the reds. Chapman a

144
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: twelve pitch ninth inning, got its fifteenth save so hey,

145
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 1: you're feeling pretty good. You score a ton of runs

146
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: in the first game, will you or bray? You're making

147
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: some history inside the park home run and a grand Slam.

148
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: So actually, after that stream, I saw there were more

149
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: tweets coming out. Credit to all of these people out

150
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: there that know how to dig into these stats. It's

151
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. So ended up being I'm going so blank

152
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: on who posted this. I am so sorry because I

153
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: always want to give credit. I believe her name is Sarah.

154
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,200

156
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: But she posted that it had happened I believe four

157
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: or five times prior, but it had been a long time.

158
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: The last time it had happened was Rog's Maris right,

159
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: So that's how long it was. And then you had

160
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: a few guys going back all the way to the

00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,080

192
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: All right, game two, let's get this one in, shall we. Now.

193
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: When it came to the offense, offense was looking pretty

194
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: good in the early going second inning SETI with a

195
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say a triple. They ruled it as a double.

196
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: It was off the wall, but they ruled it a

197
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: double because they said Friedel out in center field had

198
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: a fielding error. He bobbled it out there. I think

199
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: that's debatable. I guess that's okay. He still got an

200
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: extra base hit out of it, so I'll take it.

201
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: But he got on he was at third base, and

202
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: then Roamy with the sack fly that made it one nothing.

203
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: Let's roll over to the sixth inning. There in between,

204
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: you had a couple of opportunities. But six inning, Trevor

205
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: Story with the base got the base hit, and then

206
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: William Bray is staying red hot with his seventeenth home

207
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: rem of the year. That made it three to nothing.

208
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: And you're feeling pretty good at this point, right right

209
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: the bullpen, you know, good bullpen game, well for the

210
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: most part. We'll get to the bad part of the

211
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: bullpen here in just a little bit. But Bernardino Alcala,

212
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: they went three innings combined, didn't give up a run.

213
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: Chris Murphy very solid, two and two thirds, one hit,

214
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: allowed two strikeouts, very solid. Hey, we'd like to see

215
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: more of him. Just came back from Tommy John too

216
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: long ago. Nice to see that he's contributing here in

217
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: the early going. But here comes Greg Weiser for the seventh.

218
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: You all know how I feel about Greg Weiser, right

219
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: I said this in the early you know, per of

220
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: the year, right when we started seeing Weisert. You know,

221
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: even go back to last year. There were moments where

222
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: he looked amazing, but then there were other times where

223
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: it was like, what the heck happened to that guy? This,

224
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: this Greg Weisert was off the charts, and now this

225
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Greg Weiser is giving up home runs left and right,

226
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: and you know, couldn't hold leads. That's how I've always

227
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: felt with Weisser. He's a very streaky reliever, and early

228
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: part of the year, you know, you were seeing those inconsistencies.

229
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: But then he went on a bit of a roll

230
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: there where he was looking very good. The trust meter

231
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: went up with him. And then over the last few

232
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: weeks or so, last couple of weeks, right, he started

233
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: earning that trust a lot, and he was getting turned

234
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: to a lot and you're really starting to see him

235
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: where down here over the last couple of weeks and

236
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: his last five outings coming into tonight, he had a

237
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: couple of outings there on the West Coast trip where

238
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: he gave up a couple of runs. There. He went

239
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: four innings combined over his last five outings coming into today,

240
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: four innings combined, four hits, three runs to earn. Had

241
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: a walk in there as well, And I'm thinking to

242
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: myself when he's coming out, I'm like, man, we're really

243
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: going to him again, you know, Garrett Whitlock. The last

244
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: time he pitched was a few days ago against Toronto

245
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: Jordan Nicks. He looked good the other night, so I'm thinking, like,

246
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: where is one of these guys?

247
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: Right?

248
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, I thought, you know, getting Hicks into the mix,

249
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 1: that can maybe get Weissert, you know, a bit of

250
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: an extended breather, all right, they went with him and

251
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: my bad gut the bad gut feeling ended up being

252
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: proven true. He was leaving stuff all over the plate

253
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: based at a Stevenson Hines reach base. He walked lucks

254
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking at that point, why is he still

255
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: in this game? Like first three guys get on and

256
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, I get it, He's wiggled out of some

257
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: stuff before, but this one I just didn't feel good about.

258
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: And then there was the Grand Slam to Christian and

259
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: Canarchy cannot speak Christian and Canarci owned strand that made

260
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: it four to three, and You're just thinking, like, at

261
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: that point, it just felt like the first two games

262
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: where you looked so good, it just felt like it

263
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: all went out the window. I don't know why. I

264
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: just felt that. It was like just one swing of

265
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: the back just completely changed everything. And I'm thinking at

266
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: that point, I'm like, all right, you gotta take him

267
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: out here, Like the guy doesn't have it and he's

268
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: still in the game. TJ. Friedo with a double. Matt

269
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: McClain sharp line drive said he bailed him out with

270
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: a nice catch, and I'm thinking, why is he still

271
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: in this game? Eli de la Cruz base hit five

272
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: to three? Why is he still in the game? Like,

273
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like this is like almost like it's not

274
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: the same thing, but bringing back pe Tsd a little

275
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: bit with Pedro and Grady little like, why is he

276
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: still in the game? And then finally Jordan Hicks comes

277
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: in the game and I'm thinking, like this is crazy,

278
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: like what is happening? I just I'm sorry, but Cora,

279
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: what is going on there? Why did it take so

280
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: long to do that? Especially when a guy like Weiser,

281
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: he's been going just so many outings here this past month.

282
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: I just didn't understand that. I didn't get it. I

283
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: didn't get it. But here we go. Let's go a

284
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: little further, shall we The game is still you can

285
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: still out a bit of a comeback here, and I

286
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: thought that's what the Red Sox were doing. Hey, thinning,

287
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: Marcella Meyer, round Worle double, romy m Romey Gonzalez man. Listen,

288
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: I've liked Romi this year. There's been a lot of

289
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: good things with him this year. He's been very solid.

290
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: He's man first base very well. But there have been

291
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: a couple of moments along the way where you're like, man,

292
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: what is happening here? And that just happened here? Roami

293
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: double off the Monster, no outs scored, Marcella Meyer. You're thinking,

294
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: all right, sweet Meyer scored five to four? Game run

295
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: around second, and then you look back at the TV

296
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: and you're going, why are you going to third? And

297
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: before you could even finish the sentence, He's thrown out

298
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: a third? Why why why? Why? Like, like hold on,

299
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna I can't even talk why is that happening?

300
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: I can't even think of a good argument for it, Like,

301
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: I can't even think is that even a mental mistake?

302
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: I understand, right, it took a if you go look

303
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: at the back of the replay off the Monster, it

304
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: took a crazy bounce over the fielder's head. But still

305
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: is that, like, here's my thinking behind that? You played

306
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: baseball your whole life and you still can't think to

307
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: just stop at second base even though it took a

308
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: crazy bounce. And I get it. Romey's a pretty athletic guy,

309
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: he's confident. I get that. But is that a roamy

310
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: call or is that a philosophical call? Is that something

311
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: that they have just been ingrained with to just be

312
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: over aggress Like, I get being aggressive in some moments,

313
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: and if he makes it safe, you're thinking, oh man,

314
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: heads up, playing great, but there's no outs. You have

315
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: so many more opportunities after this, And I get it.

316
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: The Red Sox they have had issues with situational hitting, right,

317
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: but you have to stay at second base. You cannot

318
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: go to third there at all. That's where I'm thinking, like,

319
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: where where is this coming from? Where is the thinking there?

320
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Is that romy just being romy? Or is that something

321
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: where when they're going over base running you know in

322
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: spring training? Is that something in you know, clubhouse, you know,

323
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: pregame meetings and whatnot? Are they talking about this like

324
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: go take the extra bag in that moment? I'm sorry

325
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: you got to stay at second base. I don't know

326
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: where that came. I don't know where is that coming from? Again?

327
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: Is that is that a player call? Or is that?

328
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, was that a third base coach call?

329
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: I mean, who It blows my mind. I sound ridiculous

330
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: right now, but that's just because it blows my mind

331
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: that you couldn't just stay at second I don't think

332
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: anyone would have gotten mad if you just didn't go

333
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: to third. I don't think anyone would have even thought that.

334
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, Man Red's they get a couple more.

335
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks, he was in for the next inning. He

336
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: gave up a couple more there. You know, he was

337
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: able to wiggle out of it the inning prior after Weisser,

338
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: but he started getting hit here. You know, to me, Hicks,

339
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: you know, bring him in for a fresh inning. I

340
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: feel like he's probably fine, right, I don't know, that's

341
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: just me. It is what it is. But it's so

342
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: frustrating ladies and gentlemen. Time and time again, this team

343
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: just continues to mess up, whether that's defensively, base running,

344
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: constantly leaving runners and scoring position. And this is where

345
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I just wonder with the Red Sox. It's I think

346
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: somewhere along the way the Red Sox they got stuck

347
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: in cycle of caring too much about all the analytics,

348
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: exit V low stuff like that athleticism. I just think

349
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: somewhere along the way we've seen this time and time again.

350
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: We've seen this constantly where this team just seems to

351
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: lack the fundamentals when especially in high leverage situations and

352
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: in latent games they just seem to I'm not gonna

353
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: sit here and say, you know, someone lacks an IQ

354
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: or lacks a baseball IQ, because guarantee, my baseball IQ

355
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: doesn't even match any of the at all comes close

356
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: to any of those players. But it just comes a

357
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: time where you have to ask yourself, like, why does

358
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: this keep happening? And I just feel like somewhere along

359
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: the way, the Red Sox have just really bought in

360
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: to all the drive line stuff, focusing so much on

361
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: exit v LOO, focusing less on plate discipline, focusing on

362
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: trying to be the most athletic guys out there, you know,

363
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: all the little things. It feels like gets left behind.

364
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just so weird to me. And

365
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: I pulled up some numbers here. When it comes to

366
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: the offense, they're tenth in WRC plus. That's very good.

367
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: You're a top ten offense overall. They're first in exit VLO.

368
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: They hit the crap out of the ball, but they

369
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: have the third highest k rate, and they rank thirteenth

370
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: in walk percentage. And like I've said a million times,

371
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: they rank number one overall when it comes to swings.

372
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: So they like to swing and they like to swing hard,

373
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: but in the process, your plate discipline is not very good.

374
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: Looking at the base running. Looking at base running, they

375
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: ranked twelfth overall in base running right. That's base running

376
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: runs scored right on fangrass, not just runs scored, but

377
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: runs that you scored because of base running right, moving

378
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: to extra taking extra bases, stealing bases right runs that

379
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: come from that. But when it comes to expected base running,

380
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: they ranked seventeen seventeenth overall. So that means that you

381
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: know they're making a lot of mistakes on the base paths.

382
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: They're getting into outs a lot. Defense. They're tenth in

383
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: defensive run saved, so you could say that where that's

384
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: where they can They're good at making difficult plays right.

385
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: They're able to make outs from plays that are just

386
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: hard to pull off. Right fielders getting to balls that

387
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: maybe they shouldn't be getting to right, just making good

388
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: athletic plays, not just with your legs but with your

389
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: arm as well, saving runs by throwing guys out right.

390
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: Tenth in defensive run saved, but they're nineteenth overall in

391
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: outs above average. They have the most errors in Major

392
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: League Baseball. The infield ranks twenty eighth in infield outs

393
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: above average. They're fifteenth in good fielding runs saved, that's

394
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: gfrs on fangrafts, that includes scoops at first base, cutting

395
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: off throws, relay throws, diving stops fifteenth, middle of the road.

396
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: But you see time and time again where sure they

397
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: can make some really good plays, especially Saydan out in

398
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: center field. You'll see some good diving stops. In the infield.

399
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: You'll see will you're throwing out some guys. Yeah, you'll

400
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: see those kind of plays. But when it comes to

401
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: the routine play, balls that should be caught, grounders that

402
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: should be fielded those so many times. And Trevor's story

403
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: he booted one there. Actually, I think I glossed over

404
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: that part. Late in the game. That's where the Reds

405
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: got a couple of more runs. Right, You had a

406
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: Trevor story, had a bit of a tough hop there.

407
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: They had the infield in so that didn't help him,

408
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: but it was a bad hop. Runner scored and then

409
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: Marcella Meyer he threw it over to third base, and

410
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: I think he forgot that the runner was coming home,

411
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: so he threw it to third and Toro tries to

412
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: throw it home and the runner was safe, but then

413
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: Freedom ended up moving up to second base who was

414
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: the one who initially hit the ball. So it's like

415
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: the ball's going everywhere. So it's like just I don't know,

416
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: it seemed like just no one knew what the heck

417
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: was going on. So Marcella Meyer, I love him in

418
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: the field, but you know, there's been a couple of

419
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: like growing pain kind of moments with him, you know,

420
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: and getting back to the defense right overall. You know,

421
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: we saw this a little while ago, you know, Jaron

422
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: Durant dropping a ball in Milwaukee, Rome in San Francisco,

423
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: David Hamilton the night before making a bad error there.

424
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: Remember the White Sox game a little while back in

425
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: April or whatever it was, Right, they had five errors

426
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: on the night. So many times, so many times bad

427
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: base running decisions. Let's get back to that. Like I said,

428
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: the when it came to base running runs above average,

429
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: their negative zero point eight, which ranked seventeenth. Sadan, go

430
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: back to that in Milwaukee. Remember when he was running

431
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: to third, he had his head down the whole time. Listen,

432
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: Saydan has been great, but that was one example. Jaron

433
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: Duran in Anaheim running the third base when there was

434
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: a ground ball right in front of him, should have

435
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: stayed at second base there there was no force runner

436
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: behind him. And in that same play, Toro getting thrown

437
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: out a second base when he was out by a mile,

438
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: and for some reason, Cora came out to argue, saying

439
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: that Luis ra Hifo had his knee down in front

440
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 1: of the bag when it didn't even matter because he

441
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 1: was gonna be out by like three hundred feet. So

442
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you see so many things with

443
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: this team. Drives me insane, drives me insane. Everyone on Nesson,

444
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: if you do want to watch the rest of this,

445
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: we are at a time here on Nesson unfortunately, but

446
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: if you want to watch the rest, coming over to YouTube,

447
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: coming to Massa Territory and you can catch the end

448
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: of the show. We are going to be talking about

449
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: the National Series and the Jim Bowden trade deadline article

450
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: that he posted today. So everybody on Nesson, thank you

451
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: for watching, and I'll see you next time. So just

452
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: very frustrating, you know, I mean I could sit here

453
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: and you know, complain and rant I just hope the

454
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: All Star break that's gonna be a nice break for

455
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: the players, coaching staff, hopefully everyone can kind of just

456
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: decompress a little bit. Maybe that will be the best

457
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: thing for this team, right to finally get themselves on

458
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: a run. You know, you could look at this, you

459
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: know the way things have gone here. Obviously we're not

460
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: at the All Star break yet, we still got a

461
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: little bit. But I think in the end, hopefully that

462
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: ends up being a positive break and you know, get

463
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 1: a few days to relax a little bit, people can

464
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: see their family get away. Maybe that's kind of where

465
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: hopefully they can figure something out here, whether that's a

466
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: different message when it comes from the coaching staff something,

467
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: because at some point, yes, I understand the players got

468
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: to play, but it's it's the urgency. That's kind of

469
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: where I'm at. Where again, I'm not expecting a perfect

470
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: game every single time, but when you're making the common

471
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: mistakes all the time, that's kind of where it's like, Okay,

472
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: is it is it the players, which yes, it is,

473
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: But is there also maybe the wrong message being sent?

474
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: Where is everyone or is everyone's heads in the game.

475
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: That's kind of where I'm at. That's kind of where

476
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm at. Let's go to Washington really quick. Got the

477
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: fourth of July this week, fourth of July, so that'd

478
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: be nice. That'd be nice. I mean, we do have

479
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: a game on fourth of July. It is an early game.

480
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: Got a day off tomorrow, that'd be nice too. But

481
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: Lucas gi Alido facing his the team that drafted him.

482
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: Gilido has been solid lately. He'll be getting game one.

483
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: That'll be eleven h five Eastern time, so that'd be

484
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: nice to get an early game out of the way.

485
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Walker Bueller is slated for Game two against the Nationals.

486
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: I said it last time, Walker Bueller, I thought, Okay,

487
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: is he pitching for his job here? Well, I guess,

488
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: I guess he's still fine. This Nationals team, they haven't

489
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: been very good this year. If they if the Nationals

490
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: pound him, you have got to think that his job

491
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: is really at stake. His numbers are terrible this year.

492
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: You alright, a six point four to five FIP in

493
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: the fives. Bueller has not been effective at all. And

494
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: then you get Garrett Crochet for Game three on Sunday

495
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: at one thirty five. I really want gi Alito or

496
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: Bueller to pick up a win. You know, if you

497
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: win too out of three, Okay, whatever, I mean, you

498
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: should be sweeping this series. It's the Nationals. The fourteen

499
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: games under five hundred. There's no excuse for this one. Yes,

500
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: series win sweeps their luxuries, But listen, I really don't

501
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: want to have to go into Game three and croche

502
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: is playing stopper. I really don't want that. For crying

503
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: out loud, I'd love to see a situation where you

504
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: win the first two and then crochets in there for

505
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: the sweep. That would be nice. Mason, I agree with you.

506
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: Don't sleep on the Nationals. Right. The Nationals man, you

507
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: know got James Wood. Obviously they got some talent here

508
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: in Washington, right, you know, there are a few things.

509
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: Let me actually pull up here. Who is slated. Mackenzie

510
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: Gore has had a great year. It looks like they

511
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: are going to be missing Mackenzie Gore is actually pitching tonight.

512
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: That's a good matchup in Detroit tonight, Mackenzie Gore or

513
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 1: into Sroit tonight. Sorry, Mackenzie Gore and Jack Flaherty. That's

514
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: a pretty decent pitching matchup. But they're gonna be getting

515
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: Michael Soroka, Mitchell Parker and Cade Cavali. Now Soroka the

516
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: advanced metrics look better with him. He's got a decent

517
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: strikeouts walk ratio. Mitchell Parker, he did pitch pretty well

518
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: last year now Soroka. E Alra at a four point

519
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: seven zero FIP is better at a four point three

520
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: to three now Soroka. He's got nine point seven strikeouts

521
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: per nine, two point two walks per nine. That's very good.

522
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: He's been prone to the home run ball though the

523
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: Red Sox they like to swing out of their shoes.

524
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that'd be a good match up, Mitchell Parker. You know,

525
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: not great Elra and the FIP right there in the

526
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: mid Fos doesn't strike out a whole lot of guys,

527
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't walk a ton of guys. But it's three

528
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: and a half walks per nine, So that's a you know,

529
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: about league average, maybe about a home run per nine.

530
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: So a guy that's gonna pitch more to contact. Let's

531
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: see if the Red Sox can figure him out. And

532
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: then uh cade Cavali, it looks like this could be

533
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: his major league Nope, not major league debut. He made

534
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: his major league debut back in twenty twenty two, but

535
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: his first major league appearance since then. He ended up

536
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: getting I believe he ended up getting Tommy John. I

537
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: can't remember if it was Tommy John or if it

538
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: was a shoulder thing. It actually might have been a

539
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: shoulder thing. I can't fully remember remind being the chat

540
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: everybody was that let me know if it was a

541
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: shoulder thing or Tommy John. I can't remember. But so

542
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: far in the minor leagues, right, he was a higher

543
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: draft pick back in twenty twenty. He was the twenty

544
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: second overall pick in the minor league. So far this year,

545
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: twelve starts, elr at four point three to two, decent

546
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 1: amount of strikeouts. But if he is going to be

547
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: the starter for that game, then that's something the Red

548
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: Sox got to jump all over rookie starter Crochet on

549
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: the mound. This should be a series that you sweep Soroka.

550
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: I think you should be able to get in something

551
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: against him. He's been prone to the home run ball.

552
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: Mitchell Parker, I think you know Mitchell Parker in his

553
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: last star against the Angels, three runs, six hits, three walks,

554
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: only three k's and five innings against the Angels. To me,

555
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: that is a game that you should be able to win.

556
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: And if Walker Buehler can step up and get himself right.

557
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: You have a chance to win that game. This is

558
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: a series that you should be able to sweep absolutely

559
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: in my opinion. We will see. But before I do

560
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: get to the Jim Bowden preview or not the preview

561
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:57,480

Speaker 1: show you in a second. He was kind of more.

Speaker 1: He's taking a pull about players and whatnot. I'll get

00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to the Jim Boden article here. So

588
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: not exactly Jim Boden's predictions, but he was talking to

589
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: MLB executives about their predictions. Now, Jim Boden, me and

590
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: me and Jimmy Jim Jim we go back a few years. Well,

591
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: not necessarily me and him, but I've had quite some

592
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: fun talking about his trade proposals and trade ideas and

593
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 1: everything over the last few years. Spoiler alert. They're usually

594
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: not very good. But Jim Boden, I still respect the

595
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: man because obviously he did work in Major League baseball.

596
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: Obviously he's still not working in Major League baseball. He

597
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: definitely had you know, he had his ups and downs,

598
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: let's just say that. But now, when it came to

599
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: this article, he was talking to a bunch of different executives.

600
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: He says here that he surveyed more than forty executives,

601
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: mostly presidents of baseball operations and general managers, and ask

602
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: them to name the best starting pitcher, reliever, and position

603
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: player they think will be traded. So let's dive into this,

604
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: shall we. We won't spend too long on this. I

605
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: think I might actually do a separate video on this

606
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: on the main channel giving my reactions to it. But

607
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: I'll kind of dive through it. But I want to

608
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: look at some of the guys that he mentioned. I

609
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: want to look at the times where he mentioned the

610
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: Red Sox. So says here, an American league general manager

611
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: told me, we're all waiting for teams to decide if

612
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: they're going to sell, but it might take until close

613
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: to the deadline for teams like the Diamondbacks Orioles, Red Sox, Guardians,

614
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: and the Angels to make that call. Now I've told

615
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: you all pretty much how I think this is going

616
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: to go for the Red Sox. I still got to

617
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: do my trade deadline video that I'm going to do

618
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: here from Austin Territory, kind of diving into players that

619
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: I would love to see the Red Sox go for,

620
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: and just what I think the Red Sox need to do.

621
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: I actually, well, the video that I did today on

622
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: the main channel, I did dive into that, so go

623
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: check that out. But I'll do another one here more

624
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: specifically for the Red Sox of course. So yeah, I

625
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: do think the Red Sox, sure, I think they probably

626
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: like to see where they're at closer to the deadline.

627
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: I think they have a pretty good idea of what

628
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: they want to do. At this point. We all know

629
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: what this team is, right. There's a lot of talent

630
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: on this team, but they just lack I think, at

631
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: least consistently the fundamentals to be really one of these

632
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: top tier teams, right like the Detroit Tigers, the Dodgers.

633
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: They play great baseball right. So but in the end,

634
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: I do think the Red Sox they're probably going to

635
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: do a bit of a mix buying and selling. So

636
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: let's go to the next part that he mentioned here

637
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: with the Red Sox, so he has a role to

638
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: Chapman at number one. He says here the executives overwhelmingly

639
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:16,520
Speaker 1: picked Chapman as the reliever most likely to be traded. Now,

640
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: I could see this going a couple of different ways.

641
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: I see the advantage of keeping Chapman because obviously he's

642
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: very good. He's been one of the best closers in

643
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: all of baseball. The guy is as right now as

644
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,879
Speaker 1: automatic of a shutdown inning that you could get out there.

645
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: He's been great. It's been a perfect fit to me.

646
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: Unless you're able to bring something else in, someone else

647
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: in that could at least make up the most part

648
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: of his production, which is still asking a lot, then

649
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't see really a reason to trade him again.

650
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: Unless you're able to fill another role in the bullpen,

651
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: or whether that's at the back end of the bullpen

652
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: as one of the closers or you know, like a

653
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 1: solid middle relief or setup man, then I guess you

654
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: could go, you know, with either Jordan Hicks, Garrett Whitlock.

655
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: Probably not the best time to mention Greg Weisert right now,

656
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 1: but I wonder if you could do some kind of

657
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: a combination of those guys Andrew Bailey has talked in

658
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: the past saying that he doesn't necessarily think you gotta

659
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 1: have a closer. I disagree. I think you need to

660
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: have a closer. I'm someone I like Roles in the bullpen.

661
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: So that's why I want to keep Chapman because you know,

662
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: when he comes into the game, you're most likely winning

663
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: that game. So and again, unless you're able to get

664
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: a really talented arm in return somehow someway, whether that's

665
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, same trade or different trade. Probably more likely

666
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: it would be a different trade, right but Chabin, But

667
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: then again, you could look at it from the point

668
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: of view where if you can trade him, and you

669
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: know teams they're willing to overpay to get themselves a

670
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: reliever to help them win a championship. You just saw

671
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: it with Chapman and the Rangers a couple of years ago.

672
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: Look what the Royals got in return for Chapman. They

673
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: got Cole Reagan's I ended up being one of the

674
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: best pictures in baseball last year, dealing with a bit

675
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: of a shoulder issue right now. But Cole Reagan's he's

676
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: one of the top arms in baseball. So I think

677
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: if you have a situation where you could land someone

678
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: of that caliber, then I'm willing to listen. But you're

679
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: going to have to fill the bullpen, either at the

680
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: back end or at least a solid arm and middle

681
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 1: relief that can kind of push everyone up. So I'd

682
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,240
Speaker 1: like to keep him, but I'd be willing to see

683
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: what you could get in return. Moving on, he mentions

684
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: Josh Naylor says, here teams including the Mariners, Rangers, Giants,

685
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,720
Speaker 1: Reds and the Red Sox need a power bat like Naylor.

686
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: Here's where I like Josh Naylor. I like Josh Naylor.

687
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: He doesn't mention anything about his strikeouts or his walks.

688
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: Naylor is very disciplined and he's not going to strike

689
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: out a lot. That's what I think the Red Sox need.

690
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm excited for Masataka Yoshida to come

691
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: back and Bregmant two. I'm very excited for those guys

692
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: to get back in the lineup. Also, yoshidah was taking

693
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: ground as at first base today. That's interesting. They said

694
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: it's more of an emergency. The only reason he's doing

695
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: that just in case it's for an emergency down the road.

696
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: It's still very interesting that the Red Sox. They just

697
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: don't seem fully set on what they have at first base.

698
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: That's why I feel like Josh Naylor could be a possibility.

699
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: A really solid bat. You can put it in the

700
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 1: middle of the order. He's not going to strike out.

701
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: I'd be all over Josh Naylor if he could be had.

702
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: Moving on, then he gets to Jared Duran. He is

703
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: listed as the number six position player trade candidate. He

704
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: says here, I was surprised by how many front office

705
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: executives mentioned Durant. It makes me think the Red Sox

706
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: may have decided will you or bray you will play

707
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: right field and Roman Anthony will play left going forward,

708
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: Duran's under teat control through twenty twenty eight. He led

709
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: the Majors in doubles in triples last year with twenty

710
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: one homers, seventy five RBIs and thirty four stolen basis. Man,

711
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: what a year for Durant. This year, He's slashing two

712
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: fifty three with a seven to twenty three ops, twenty

713
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: doubles in a league leading nine triples. He's been linked

714
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: to the Padres and Phillies in trade talks. He's also

715
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: been linked to the Braves I was told personally by

716
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: a little birdie out there that I trust very much

717
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: that has given me a couple of scoops over the

718
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 1: last couple of years that ended up becoming true. I

719
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 1: trust him, and he told me that the Red Sox

720
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: and Braves have at least had conversations about Jared Durant.

721
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: So now whether or not that's gonna get anywhere, I

722
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: mean they do. The Braves have Jackson Profar, who's back. Now,

723
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: let's see how he does, right, Alex Verdugo, Red Sox

724
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: legend d fade by the way, But yeah, the Pareys,

725
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 1: they're still linked. I see the fit there. I think

726
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 1: the posreis they're going to have to find a third

727
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: team unless maybe you do something with like Ethan Sallas.

728
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: Maybe the Red Sox see some upside with him, maybe they.

729
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: I mean, his defense is off the charts. Uh if

730
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: he's so young, I don't even think he's twenty years

731
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: old yet. If he is, he just turned twenty, but

732
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: defense is off the charts with him. He's gonna be

733
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: very good in that department. No complaints there at all,

734
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 1: no doubts. But it's the bat that's been bad and

735
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: he's had a back injury this year. But the Red

736
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 1: Sox they've been very good at developing position players, especially

737
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: when it comes to the offense, So maybe that could

738
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: be a better home for him. Maybe you could do

739
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: something with Salas. I don't think you're gonna get Leo

740
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 1: de Veris. He's one of the top prospects in baseball.

741
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 1: He's number three overall on pipeline. I don't think you're

742
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,319
Speaker 1: gonna be able to get him, but maybe you could

743
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: do something with Sallas. I could see that, or the

744
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: Padres get a third team involved. If you did the Phillies, well,

745
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: the Phillies they could probably get a deal done straight

746
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: up if they wanted to. Right. People have mentioned mick

747
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: Abel that could be a young arm for the Red

748
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: Sox to get. Possibly they got some other guys like

749
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 1: Aiden Miller justin Crawford. I'll be honest with you, if

750
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: the Red Sox were able to get Aiden Miller, maybe,

751
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 1: you know, maybe put mick Abel in there, maybe someone else.

752
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: I think that could be pretty good. I've seen people

753
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: talk about the idea of maybe you get Ranger Suarez,

754
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: you know, as part of a package where you get

755
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: him for this year. Yeah, I guess I'd be all

756
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: right with that. But to me, if you could get

757
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: a right handed bat like Aiden Miller, I think that

758
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 1: could be pretty good, right, Jenion d ram Uh. You know,

759
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: like I said, leave open the possibility for the Braves,

760
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: you know, if they wanted to go that route. Sure,

761
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 1: Profar is back, but maybe the Braves they can move

762
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 1: Ozuna in a separate deal. He's a rental. He's gonna

763
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: be a free agent. So maybe you could do something

764
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: where Profar. You know, they could bring Duran in. Profar

765
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: can go to DH, Duran can be your left fielder,

766
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, something like that. Or do you do some

767
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: kind of a rotation where Akunya he can be DH sometimes.

768
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: You know, however you do it right. I think there

769
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 1: could be a fit there with the Braves, but I

770
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: think they would have to get another team involved. I

771
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 1: don't think they have the trade assets to really get

772
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: it done. So, but Jan Duran, the more I think

773
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: about it, and the more I just look at the

774
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,959
Speaker 1: possibilities out there, I think he is gonna get moved.

775
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: That's just kind of where I'm at right now. I

776
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: would be surprised if he ended up staying. Make sure

777
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: there could be an injury along the way, and you know,

778
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: that could end up kind of solving that pretty much.

779
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: But I'm starting to think he's gonna get moved, and

780
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, with how well Willier's been playing, I think

781
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: he's just making that argument so much stronger now to stay.

782
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking Willier could have been the

783
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: better trade candidate because I saw more upside and he

784
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: has more years of control. He's good defensively in right field,

785
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: so I thought, okay, maybe teams would want will Youer more,

786
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: there'd be more of a market for him. And then Duran.

787
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 1: You know, he offers that skill set that's hard to replicate.

788
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm starting to lean towards Duran because

789
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: I think teams because because the numbers are a bit

790
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 1: down with him, the expected numbers from last year are

791
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 1: kind of matching what he's doing this year. I think teams,

792
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: you probably won't have to give up as much for

793
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: Duran than you would will Your. It's kind of the

794
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: way I see. It also leave the Royals open for

795
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: a possible team. They got some pitching there, maybe you

796
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: could do something. Maybe you know, they could do some offense.

797
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: So we will see. But I do think Duran. I

798
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: am leaning towards like seventy thirty at this point that

799
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: he ends up getting moved. Then he lists will your

800
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 1: bray You? Says here A bray He was mentioned because

801
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,479
Speaker 1: some teams would prefer him over Duran in a trade

802
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: due to his elite defense. This is where like kinda

803
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: I sort of I'm thinking with Boden, It's like, yes,

804
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: he has elite defense, but he has more power upside

805
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: as well, and teams value that, so it's not just

806
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: the defense, and he is another year of control. However,

807
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: I get the impression Boston's preference is to trade Durant

808
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: over him unless the return for a bra You is

809
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 1: much better. That's what I'm saying. I think a bray

810
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: You he could bring back more. So that's where I'll

811
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: still leave open the possibility there. He mentions Alex Bregman

812
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 1: at number thirteen. He said, here, this is another shocking name,

813
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: but some executives believe the Red Sox could move on

814
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: from Bregman at the deadline if they can't extend him.

815
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: By them, I highly doubt the Red Sox is gonna

816
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 1: trade Bregman. I think they're gonna try and get an

817
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 1: extension worked out the entire year. I just don't buy that.

818
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 1: That to me, that sounds like Scott Boris maybe putting

819
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: some stuff out there right telling teams I don't know,

820
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna get an extension done,

821
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: you know that? To me, that sounds like agent kind

822
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 1: of talk. To me, it makes so much sense for

823
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. They get a deal worked out with Bregman.

824
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: He could be the new face of the franchise. He

825
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 1: fits Boston perfectly, the city of Boston and Famway Park.

826
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: He's been great in the clubhouse, great with the young guys.

827
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: He's an organizational face of the franchise that you want.

828
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 1: The Red Sox should get that done. But I think

829
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: this is more Scott Boris trying to put some pressure

830
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: out there, maybe, you know, putting some pressure on the

831
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: Red Sox a little bit, right, Oh yeah, hey, ugh,

832
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. Not sure about the Red Sox get

833
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: an extension done. I don't know. They might have to

834
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: trade him, that's to me, it's like, no, I think

835
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 1: the Red Sox would rather sign him, That's what I think.

836
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: But if the two sides can't work out a deal,

837
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: don't be surprised. That Boston trades him, be either the

838
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: Tigers or the Mariners. This is where like the Mariners are.

839
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't think the Mariners are gonna trade for Alex Bregman.

840
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: The Mariners don't want to spend money. The Tigers, sure,

841
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: I mean they were really going after Bregman in the offseason.

842
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: Goodness gracious, could you imagine the Red Sox doing this.

843
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 1: This would be waving the white flag. I think this

844
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 1: would be so irresponsible to trade him to me. I think,

845
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: if you're the Red Sox, the best thing to do,

846
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: because here's the thing with Bregman, because he's making so

847
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: much money, you are when it comes to his surplus value,

848
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: because teams are gonna have to pay a lot of

849
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: his contract. The Red Sox aren't gonna wouldn't pay is

850
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: the rest of his contract. Team would have to take

851
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 1: on the rest of it this year. He's gonna he

852
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: would opt out after the season. But because the surplus

853
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: value is not very high, because yes, he is gonna,

854
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,480
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna end up having a good second half,

855
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: but he's making so much money, so there's not much

856
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: of a difference there. Right, The amount of money that

857
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: he's making it's almost matching up to what he's going

858
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:24,439
Speaker 1: to produce in the second half. So yeah, I think

859
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: what is honestly the more realistic suggestion for this is

860
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: the Red Sox keep him no matter what the situation is,

861
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 1: try and get an extension worked out if you still

862
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: can't resign him. That's what I think the Red Sox

863
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:41,919
Speaker 1: are gonna end up doing. I don't think they're gonna

864
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: trade him. I think that's silly. I think that doesn't

865
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: make sense. I think it's people out there trying to

866
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: put you know, agents, trying to put like Scott Boris,

867
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:55,919
Speaker 1: trying to put pressure on you know, other teams, trying

868
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: to just spark stuff a little bit. People you know,

869
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: guys in front offices and whatnot. They'll just put stuff

870
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: out there to try and get the ball rolling on

871
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: things right, to try and get phone calls being made.

872
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't see this happening at all, absolutely not. And

873
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: that was pretty much it. That was it for the

874
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: Red Sox. Here, those are the players that I just

875
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: wanted to go over to me. I think the players

876
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: that make the most sense for the Red Sox to

877
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: go after that he does talk about here, Josh Naylor,

878
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 1: I think that would make sense. I'd be okay with

879
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 1: Ryan O'Hearn, But I also think the Red Sox need

880
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: to go after we've talked about this. They need to

881
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: go after a starting pitcher, and the starting pictures that

882
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: he mentioned here were Sandy al Kintara. Sandy has been

883
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,959
Speaker 1: pitching better as of late, looks like he's finally turned

884
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: a corner. But do the Red Sox want to bring

885
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: on another guy who has had Tommy John? I don't

886
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: know about that, Like something feels off about that one

887
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: with me, so I'm gonna say no. Mix Keller I

888
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: think is interesting. That's another team for Jared Duran that

889
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: I could maybe see being interested in Duran. The Pirates.

890
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: The Pirates need offense badly. Could you do something with

891
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: them with mix Keller? Possibly. He does mention the Cubs

892
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: and the Mets. Then he gets to Merril Kelly. I

893
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: think Merril Kelly would actually be a pretty solid rental

894
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox. Now he mentions that Merril Kelly

895
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: he grew up in Arizona. He wants to finish his

896
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: career as a Diamondback. He could just get traded and

897
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: then sign back with the Diamondbacks in the offseason, you know,

898
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: if that's what it is. But if the Red Sox

899
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: could get him as a rental and then Bregman's back

900
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 1: at third base, Myers at second base, well the infield

901
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: should be better. At that point. Meryl Kelly gets a

902
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: good amount of ground balls, so I think that could

903
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 1: be a pretty good fit. He goes on with Andrew Heeney,

904
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 1: Zach Gefflin, Zach Gallen, Edward Cabrera. Edward Cabrera I thought

905
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: about because he's a controlled arm. He's got a lot

906
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: of years left until he hits free agency, so I wonder,

907
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: but he does put here. The Marlins are not looking

908
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,800
Speaker 1: to move him, but if they can win a trade,

909
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 1: they'd have to consider it. I could see the Marlins

910
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: wanting to hang on to him because he's, you know,

911
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: if he can come into his own as you know,

912
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: like the ace of the staff, and who knows, maybe

913
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: the Marlins somehow figure it out over the next couple

914
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: of years and think Cabrera could be the ACU rotation.

915
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: But I think with Cabrera, you know, he's always hurt,

916
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: he's had inconsistencies. He has figured it out this year,

917
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: he's looked a lot better but you just wonder injury risk,

918
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, would it be better for the Marlins to

919
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 1: trade him now and then start just really going with

920
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: the young guys in the organization, right, Thomas White, Robbie Snelling,

921
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 1: you know, That's kind of where I'm at on that.

922
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 1: So I wonder if the Red Sox would be interested

923
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: in Cabrera because he's a young arm. But then again,

924
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Marlins would really want. I

925
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,719
Speaker 1: think the Red Sox would either t trade for a

926
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 1: young starter. Well unless, like you know, I mean, I

927
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: take that back, maybe with the Marlins, right, James Tibbs,

928
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: you just got him back in the Rafty trade, you know,

929
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: could you maybe do something like that, like Tibbs and

930
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: someone else a couple other prospects for Cabrera, you know,

931
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: something like that possibly. But I could see a team

932
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 1: that's really looking for some like major league ready bats

933
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: like Duran. That's where I kind of would like for

934
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: the Red Sox to go to see if you can

935
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: get some pitching back in a deal like that, right,

936
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,399
Speaker 1: kill two birds with one stone, create outfield space by

937
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: trading Duran or Willier and then getting something back for

938
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: the rotation. I would like for that to be, you know,

939
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 1: keep it simple. But if you got to go a

940
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: couple of different routes, you know, maybe someone like Cabrera.

941
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: But even then, I don't even know if Cabrera is

942
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: really the guy that I would like for the Red

943
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: Sox to get because I want someone more proven, someone

944
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 1: that you know, is going to provide that stability in

945
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: the rotation kind of where I'm at. It's kind of

946
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: where I'm at, everybody, I'm gonna wrap it up right there.

947
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wrap it up. Disappointing end to the series

948
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 1: here tonight. You still got a series w but we

949
