1 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: Hi everybody. Hello, Welcome to the postgame show. Welcome to 2 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: Massa Territory. It has been a rather interesting season. We 3 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: are now twenty games through ten and ten a perfect 4 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: five hundred. What can you say? But for tonight once again, 5 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, we've seen throughout you know, the first twenty games, 6 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: we've seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, 7 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: and you know, for tonight, it all kind of just 8 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: ended up working out for the best. You get the 9 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: one run. David Hamilton coming through tonight, had an extremely 10 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: slow start to the year, and he finally came through tonight. 11 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: But the pitching was the story for tonight, and who 12 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: would have thought the pitching would be the story? And 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: a guy named Garrett Crochet is not on the mound, 14 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: Sean newcome getting the start. Fantastic effort from the pitching 15 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: staff tonight. Gotta love it. You know, a couple of 16 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: things with the offense tonight, you know, not very happy with, 17 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: you know, same sort of frustrations throughout the night that 18 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: we've seen throughout the year so far. But the pitching 19 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: coming through in a big way to carry things. We're 20 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: gonna get to the postgame breakdown in just a second. 21 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: We also got some news on a couple of players 22 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: down in the minor leagues. We'll get to that, and 23 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: also we will be previewing the next series against the 24 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: White Sox. We do have a day off tomorrow. I 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: think that'd be good for the Red Sox to be 26 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: playing a lot of games lately. I think the day 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 1: off is gonna be very welcome for them.

You're thinking, you 62 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: know the world is crashing down on the Red Sox 63 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: and and here you are walking away with a series win. 64 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: It's kind of funny, how that works out. That's baseball 65 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: for you. You could have an incredibly tough loss like 66 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: they did in the opener, but then he bounce back 67 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: in the next couple and then you end up winning 68 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: the series. So that's baseball for you. Isn't that funny 69 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: how it works out? So but again, great series win 70 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox, you know, especially after dropping an 71 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: Indivision series to the Blue Jays. You know, I felt 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: like this was you know, and especially after losing to 73 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: the White Sox as well. But you also more so 74 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: because you just dropped a series of the Blue Jays, 75 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: who are looking pretty decent so far Al East at 76 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: this point. You know, there's been a lot of ups 77 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: and downs in the Ale East up to this point. 78 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: So nice for the Red Sox to win a series 79 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: against an Indivision rival, especially the freaking Rays. Oh my goodness, 80 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: the Rays have given me so many headaches, given so 81 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: many Red Sox fans headaches over the years. It is just, 82 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: my goodness, The Rays drive me insane. But let's go 83 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: to it here. Let's get to the picturing breakdown that 84 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: was the story for tonight. And you know, once again, 85 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: no Garrett Crochet, you know, no Walker bueller, you know, 86 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: none of these guys, and it was Sean freaking Newcome 87 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: coming through. You know, nothing crazy from newcome tonight. Overall 88 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: four and two thirds, four hits, zero earned four k's 89 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: on the night. Really just working in and out of 90 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: the zone. 91 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 3: You know. 92 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I was a little afraid coming into this because how 93 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 1: good the Rays offense looked in Game one and Sean 94 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: Newcomb not looking all that great back in Chicago. So 95 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, this might you know, It's kind of 96 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: funny how that works out, too, right, the guy that 97 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: you're expecting, you know, to just get the you know, 98 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: get the crap beaten out of him, and he ends 99 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: up just coming through in a big way. But really, 100 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: for Sean newcome tonight, like I said, just working in 101 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: and out of the zone. Uh, just kind of you know, 102 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: working really with the fastball and the cutter for the 103 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: most part. You know, he was getting a couple of 104 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: ground balls, a couple of fly balls, letting the defense 105 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: work behind him. He got a double play in the 106 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: third inning. You know, every time he's made a start, 107 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: this guy just seems to come through with a double 108 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: play to slow down the momentum. And I wanted to 109 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: pull up one thing here. But like I said, you know, 110 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: as if you're with me live, you can see on 111 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: my screen. He threw thirty nine pitches in the zone tonight, 112 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: thirty two out of the zone. So I liked that 113 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: he was mixing matching, trying to keep the Rays guessing, 114 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: keeping him on their toes, and just got as far 115 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: as he could got into the fifth inning. You couldn't 116 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: ask more for Sean Newcomb, who got hit very hard 117 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 1: against the White Sox the last time out, and taking 118 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: one look here, one more stat I guess I can't 119 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: find it. I've lost track. But newcom coming through in 120 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: a big way. But the bullpen, oh my goodness, this 121 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 1: bullpen tonight. Fantastic Greg Weiser. When this guy is on, 122 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: this guy is as nasty as they can be. Man, 123 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: he's already hard to pick up, but when he's got 124 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: his stuff working, he is very good in middle relief. 125 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: Came through in a big way tonight, picked continuing what 126 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: Sean Newcomb started. But loved what Garrett Witlock did tonight. 127 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: He just looked nasty. You know, it's kind of funny 128 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: with Whitlock. There's been a couple of times this year 129 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: where you can just see it's either he's really got 130 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: it or he is just fighting out there, right, you know, 131 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: when Whitlock has it, when he's on, I feel like 132 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 1: this guy's unhittable. He didn't give up a hit tonight, 133 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: but my goodness, four case tonight, he was getting a 134 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: lot of swing and miss. He just looked nasty leading 135 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: with a change up, working in the sinkers, getting the sliders. 136 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,119 Speaker 1: You know, really a good mix between the three there, 137 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: getting a good amount of whiffs, and then justin Slayton 138 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: coming in to close it out. This guy was nasty 139 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: with a curve ball and getting a couple of strikeouts 140 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: on the curve ball tonight. But really with what I 141 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: loved about having Whitlock pitch a couple of innings, because 142 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: you've had Chapman pitched quite a few times over the 143 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: last few games. I was kind of wondering what they 144 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: were gonna do. Were they gonna go with Whitlock for 145 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: the two winnings where they just gonna go to Slayton 146 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: and then go to Chapman one more time. I was 147 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: thinking in my head it was gonna be Whitlock for 148 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: a couple This is your multi inning kind of a guy. 149 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: I saw a couple of people on Twitter saying, no, 150 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: you know, it's okay if Whitlock throws an inning. He 151 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: doesn't always have to be this multi inning guy. But 152 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: that is where he is at his best, and that's 153 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: where his true value is. Where again, you know, yeah, 154 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: there was the talk of him, you know, being a 155 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: starter for how long for the last several years and 156 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: obviously wasn't able to stay healthy. But you know, with Whitlock, 157 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: this is a guy who's got some very good stuff 158 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: and if he can get you through two three, I 159 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: mean that is very valuable and he has the ability 160 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: to do that, and he's shown that time and time again, 161 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, going back to twenty twenty one, and he's 162 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: shown that so far this year. Like I said, justin 163 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: Slayton closing it out, gotta love that. Uh, just a 164 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: fantastic night for the pitching staff overall. You know, the 165 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: Rays couldn't really get anything going. It was a nail bider. 166 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: You know, I see you in the chat. Who was 167 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: the one that said nail bider, Jonathan, how you doing, 168 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: my friend? Nail bider? Absolutely, you know, when it came 169 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: to really the offense for tonight, let's actually pull up Pete. 170 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: Let's get back to the main screen and David Hamilton. 171 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: He was the star of the show. You know, David 172 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: Hamilton coming into the night hitting zero forty eight with 173 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: a negative sixty nine WRC plus. This is a guy 174 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: that was very productive last year, coming through in the clutch, 175 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: coming up with some good offense, stealing bases as well. 176 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: You know, he was giving you pretty decent defense at 177 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: second base, not shortstop very much, but a guy that was, 178 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: you know, very productive, you know in the role he 179 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: was in, but he just hasn't really shown that up 180 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: to this point. But getting into one, just clearing the 181 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: fence tonight, just getting the home run and that was 182 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: all they needed. This picturing staff was absolutely incredible. You know, 183 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the offense. There were moments throughout the 184 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: night where once again you've seen this with the offense 185 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: this year, where you feel like they're close and they're 186 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna break through, and they just end up leaving runners 187 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: in scoring position. They kind of you know, they shoot 188 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: themselves in the foot a lot. You know, you had 189 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: the you know, go back earlier in the game, Trevor 190 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: Story got to walk, Romey had the one out ground out. 191 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: He had the one out ground rule double unfortunately ended 192 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: up being a ground rule double. You know, you probably 193 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: would have had Trevor story score on that, but because 194 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: the ground rule double, they had to hold it second 195 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: and third, and then you know, Tristan Kassis got the 196 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: intentional walk. You had the bases loaded at that point, 197 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: but then they're bias popping out Hamilton. Unfortunately he can't 198 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: do it all getting the ground out and then go 199 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: to the fifth inning. You know, I was having a 200 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: couple of back and forths on Twitter Land about this one. 201 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: Jared Duran. He got the double in the fifth inning 202 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: and then he ended up trying to steal third with 203 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: one out. I understood it. I got it because you 204 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: have one out. You know, you got Raffi up. Yeah, 205 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, flyball makes it a two nothing game. I 206 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: totally understand that. This is my own personal opinion. When 207 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: you got your best hitter at the plate in Raffi right, obviously, 208 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: you know we know he had the slow start, but 209 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: he's back to being Raffi. You got your best hitter 210 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: up of the plate, Jared Duran, He's got the wheels. 211 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: You know, if a ball is going into the outfield. 212 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: What you know, if it drops down for a base hit, 213 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: he's probably scoring from second base. So I wasn't a 214 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,119 Speaker 1: huge fan of him trying to steal third. I understand 215 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: it because, you know, it felt like runs were pretty 216 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: tough to come by, which is hilarious considering, you know, 217 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: just the offense. In the last couple of days, you've 218 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: been seeing a lot of runs, but tonight it was 219 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: a different story. So it felt like Korra was really 220 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: just trying to push the envelope get a bit aggressive again. 221 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: I understood the move. I get it because it puts 222 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: a runner at third base, you know, for a possible 223 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, sack fly or you know, ground ball to 224 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: the right side. Duran scores. I don't know, man, I 225 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: just don't like it for me personally, I just think 226 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: if you have a runner in scoring position and you 227 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: got your best hitter up, I kind of want to 228 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: leave it at that. But I understand the other side 229 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 1: of it too. I definitely see both sides. For me personally, 230 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: I think it's like a chocolate vanilla kind of a thing. 231 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: I wasn't a fan of it, to be honest, and 232 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 1: then it ended up being RAFFI got the base hit 233 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: and that would have scored Duran, you know, But then 234 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: again I could also see where you know, it's a 235 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: hindsight kind of a thing, right if you know, if 236 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: Duran ends up stealing third, you get the sack fly 237 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: then ends up being a genius move, you know, and 238 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: then obviously if it doesn't work out, then it kind 239 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: of looks like one of those moves where you're like, 240 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: what the heck are you doing? To be honest, even 241 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: if Durant had stolen stolen third, I still would have 242 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: been like, oh, okay, a little a little risky, I'm 243 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: cool with it. You know. I don't know if I 244 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: would have done it personally. That was just my thought. Again, 245 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people could disagree. Moving on, 246 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: you know, six inning, will you or Bray? You had 247 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: the lead off double not able to come through Romey 248 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: with a K. Cassus Actually, Cassus tonight another night where 249 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: a couple of hard hit balls ninety seven point four 250 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: miles an hour on one of the flyouts, just a 251 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: tick under one hundred miles per hour, ninety nine point 252 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: nine miles per hour on another flyout. So Cassus, man, 253 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: I feel like he's he's getting close. He's really when 254 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: he's making contact, it's loud. It's just I feel like 255 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: he's he It felt like he just missed one tonight. Also, 256 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: I'm feeling like he's close. But you had cast Us 257 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: with the flyout, Nevas with the strikeouts, so that was 258 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: that for the sixth inning, you know, so you had 259 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: your moments tonight, just not able to break through. So 260 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: again getting back to the Duran stolen, you know, are 261 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: getting thrown out. I get it because you know, when 262 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: it's one of those nights, you're just trying to make 263 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: something happen. Luckily it didn't come back to bite them 264 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: in the end, so it is what it is. Personally, 265 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done it, though, but hey, great win 266 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: for tonight, a great series win. I felt like you 267 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: needed that after you couldn't have another series loss, you know, 268 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: going into a day off, going back to Fenway. You 269 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: needed this one tonight. You know, you get back to 270 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, you know, this was something that we saw 271 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: a lot last year with the Red Sox at five hundred. 272 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: Let's see if we can just start putting together some 273 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 1: wings now and let's get away from the whole being 274 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: at five hundred thing. So also, I'm sorry my camera 275 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: it keeps auto focusing. I don't know why it is 276 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: it is doing that. So I tried adjusting a couple 277 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: of the settings on the cameras to try and get 278 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: a bit of a better picture. But I think I 279 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: need to go fix the what do you call it? 280 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: The focus on there? So sorry about that. Taking a 281 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: look here, Let's take a look at you know what, 282 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: Let's actually go to a little bit of news here. 283 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: Let's go down to the minor leagues before we go 284 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: to the series preview against the White Sox. So Brian 285 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: Bao did have his final rehab start tonight, four and 286 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: a third six hits, four earned, one K, one walk, 287 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: seven k's overall. Now you're probably look at the fore 288 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: earned runs and you're thinking, oh, six hits, fore earned, 289 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: what are we doing here? This is his spring training basically. 290 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: You know, I know Tanner Houck was kind of iffy 291 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: during spring training, and obviously he did not do well 292 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: the other night. But you know it, it can go. 293 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: It can be different from picture to picture. Right, Sometimes 294 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: these guys aren't looking good in spring, they come back 295 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: and they end up being fine. I'm okay with Brian Bao, 296 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: you know whatever, you know, giving up a few runs 297 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: over a few rehab starts, I'm okay with that, you know, 298 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: not necessarily the worst thing in the world. He was 299 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: throwing a lot of strikes tonight, so that was good 300 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: to see that the command was in check. He threw 301 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: fifty one of seventy one pitches for strikes. Thank you 302 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: to Boston Sports Gordo for putting the stat line making 303 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: it easily accessible for me tonight. I do appreciate that. 304 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: Go follow the guys over at Play Tessie. They got 305 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: a good podcast over there. But we also we got 306 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: a little something here from Roman Anthony. Not news necessarily, 307 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: but I kind of wanted to go share, you know, 308 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: what we're seeing in the minor leagues from Roman Anthony 309 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: right now. I mean, this guy is looking great. Now. 310 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: A lot of people have been speculating about Roman, you know, 311 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: maybe getting the call. You know, that's not coming from anywhere, 312 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: by the way, just a lot of talk on Twitter 313 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: land and because he has been hitting very well coming 314 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: into tonight five games with a base that he's on 315 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: a five game hitting streak, this guy's looking fantastic. I mean, 316 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: just the hard hit balls are insane. The expected numbers 317 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: are off the charts. Now when it comes to Roman Anthony, 318 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: there have been a few strikeouts, a little more than 319 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to see. There has been some I'd like 320 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: to see a bit more contact in the zone. But 321 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: the guys getting on base at an incredible rate. Through 322 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: forty six abs, he's got a four to forty one 323 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: on base a nine overall, a couple of homer seven 324 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: RBIs in the early going. There is a day off 325 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: tomorrow sometime, you know, usually when it comes to calling 326 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: guys up, the off day tends to be that day, right. 327 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: I don't think Roman Anthony's gonna get called up. You 328 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: never know, all right, you never say never. Maybe it 329 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: could happen. I don't know. I just have this like feeling. 330 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: I go back to Jacoby Elsbury. He wasn't called up 331 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: for a little while back in two thousand and seven. 332 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: You know, they waited for the Coco Crisp injury and 333 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: then they called him up. Then I kind of see 334 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: something similar where you know, it's because at this what 335 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: do you do? You know, what are you doing with SETI? 336 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: You know, obviously I don't think you're taking will You're 337 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: out of this lineup. Obviously. You know, he's been very 338 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 1: good this year so far. But I think with Roman, 339 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: it's kind of like you got to make some kind 340 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: of a corresponding move, and I feel like, right now, 341 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: there's not really that obvious move. I've been seeing a 342 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: lot more people leaning towards moving SETI into utility role. 343 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the way I would go 344 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: right now. But I feel like you don't need to 345 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: rush it. I feel like you wait a little longer, 346 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: you give him a few more weeks down in the 347 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: minor leagues. You don't need to rush this right now 348 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: in my opinion. Now, person, I got my eye on 349 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: an off day in the beginning of June. I think 350 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: it's June fifth. You got an off day. You got 351 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: the Yankees in the Bronx for a series after that 352 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: off day. I mean, how cool would that be? Roman 353 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: Anthony making his debut in Yankee Stadium, hitting a homer 354 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: in his debut series against the Yankees in the Bronx. 355 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of a That would be an 356 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 1: amazing debut if you ask me. Sounds like cinema if 357 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: you ask me. But I understand a lot of people 358 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: would like to see him sooner rather than later. My 359 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: guess is the Red Sox I don't know. I just 360 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: the way they've gone about calling guys up in the past, 361 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: they tend to be a bit more patient with these 362 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: kind of moves. I feel like they're gonna take their 363 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: time with this one. I would not expect Roman to 364 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: get called up tomorrow. But if again, I haven't heard, 365 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything. I haven't seen anyone saying anything. 366 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen. I just saw a 367 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: lot of people talking about it on Twitter today, So 368 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: for me personally, I want to kind of put a 369 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: damper on those expectations for the off day tomorrow. So 370 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: who knows, though maybe we see it. If it does happen, Hey, 371 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: you're not gonna see me upset about it. But Brian Bao. 372 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: I would expect Bao to be back in the rotation 373 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: for his next start early next week. Excited about that. 374 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: But speaking of that, let's get to the series' preview. 375 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: Let's get to the series preview, shall we. And we 376 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: got the White Sox yet again, but this time at 377 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: Famway Park Martin Perez. You know, hey, this guy was 378 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: holding his own against the Red Sox the last time out. 379 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: You got Shane Smith back on the mound. I remember 380 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: he was looking pretty good. You got Shane Smith Garrett 381 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: Crochet in a rematch, and then Tanner Hawk getting another. 382 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: You know he's not gonna have to go up against 383 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: the Rays this time. Let's see if he can have 384 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: a bounce back performance against the White Sox against Sean Burke, 385 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: who has an el ray at seven point five. I've six, 386 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: so that could be a good chance for how to 387 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: you know, try and write the ship a little bit. 388 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: There is not a starter announced as of right now, 389 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: unless unless someone has said something on Twitter. I haven't 390 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: seen the latest on that. Again, I someone could have 391 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: announced it. We will see. I don't know. I'm not 392 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: seeing anything popping off on my feed right away. So 393 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: if anyone has seen anything, then well you saw it 394 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: before I did so. But again, no starter announced for tomorrow. 395 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting, you know, I with fits out, 396 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: you know, could you call upon Hunter Dobbins or could 397 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: you go to a bullpen game? You know you did 398 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: just use you know a few guys here tonight. So 399 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: I wonder if Hunter Dobbins could be the guy that 400 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: maybe they call up, we'll see. Yeah, I don't know 401 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: I would, but tomorrow you got the off day or 402 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 1: what you could do is I think Garett Crochet is 403 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: gonna be on normal rest for the first game, so 404 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: that's a possibility where they can just have him go 405 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: for the opener and then Tanner, how can you get him? 406 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: You have him go for game twos. I believe that's 407 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: how it's working out. So let me do my math 408 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: in my head just to make sure. So Friday, the 409 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: opener is April eighteenth, Yeah, so his last start was 410 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: the thirteenth, so that would be regular rest for Crochet, 411 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: So wouldn't be surprised see the Red Sox do that 412 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: or do they just wanna, you know, keep his normal 413 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,239 Speaker 1: turn in the rotation. We'll have to see, but pay 414 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: attention tomorrow the off day. That's where you know usually 415 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: these moves get announced and whatnot, So we will see 416 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: on that. And then also it is a four game series, 417 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: by the way, so Walker Bueller is gonna be getting 418 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: the at least the way it's lined up right now, 419 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: Bueller would be getting the NOD for the Monday finale, 420 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: which is the it's the annual Patriots Day game, the 421 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: eleven ten am starting time. Very excited about that. I 422 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: always love that eleven am game. It's always, uh, you know, 423 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: it's I don't know why, I just find it. I 424 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: always find it pretty cool. So, but everybody, let's get 425 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: to the end of the show here. But usually what 426 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: we do at the end of every series I take 427 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: a look at some of the series' reactions and thoughts. 428 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: So I got twenty nine comments here. My goodness, you guys, 429 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: you showed up for the reactions here tonight. What have 430 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: we got here? I'll go through a few. We got 431 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: Red Sox Royal Ruder. How you doing, my friend, Let's 432 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: see what you got to say. Newcomb was great despite 433 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 1: not going super long. Bullpen was just pure Phil felt 434 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: like it didn't matter who came out, they'd get it done. 435 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: Haven't felt that good about the Red Sox pitching in 436 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: a long time. We needed that series win after the 437 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: past little stretch of games. Completely agree, you know. Also, hey, 438 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: kudos to Alex Cora here tonight, pushing the right buttons, 439 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: bringing it in the right guys. Good bullpen management for 440 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: Alex Cora here tonight. Let's take a look here. Michael 441 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: Morgan Michael Morgan, How you doing, my friend. Bats still 442 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: haven't waken up like they should, but rather be cold 443 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: early than late. It will come together soon, love what 444 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: I'm seeing from the bullpen. Can't remember being that comfortable 445 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: in a one nothing socks lead for multiple innings. Yeah, 446 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, I agree with you. It was like this 447 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: weird sort of comfort thing about it, Like even though 448 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: they were up one nothing, I still felt okay, Like 449 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: I felt like I wasn't, you know, hanging on to 450 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: the eedge of my seat the entire time. Because this 451 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: bullpen has been very good, one of the best bullpens 452 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball up to this point. So I'm 453 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: right there with you, my friend, right there with you. 454 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: I think that was a good way to describe it. 455 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: What do we got? What do we got? Let's go, 456 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,400 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman enjoyer account. Let's see what you gotta say. 457 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 1: The first game was ugly, Yes it was, and unfortunately 458 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: I was at that game. Of course, the one game 459 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: that I go to. They got absolutely shell ACKed. But 460 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: games like that happened. It didn't help that it was 461 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: immediately after losing the series to the White Sox. Yeah, 462 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of one of those things, right 463 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,959 Speaker 1: timing wise, it's like good grief. Well, we'll have Bregman 464 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: and Baio back in the next couple of days. I 465 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: forgot to mention that Bregman uh not with the team 466 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: for the birth of his child. Congratulations to Alex Bregman. 467 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: That's very very good. I always love here in the 468 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, the personal stuff off the field, right, you know, 469 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: the or the good news, right, good for Alex Bregman. 470 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: Congrats on that the East is upper grabs and it's 471 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 1: still only April. The team can only get better, and 472 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: it's kind of weird, you know, it's pretty crazy when 473 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: I look at the reactions and whatnot, you know, through 474 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: the Red Sox community, you would almost think it's like 475 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: July at this point. I love the passion of the 476 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: Red Sox fans up to this point. We're twenty games 477 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: in and it already feels like, you know, you're in 478 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 1: the second half of the season. Already. Love to see that, 479 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: love to see that. What have we got. Let's get 480 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: a couple of more Let's see hmm, what do we go? 481 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: Let's get a couple more? Here we go? We got 482 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: from a let's see here Slayton has the potential to 483 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: be the best socks closer since Papabond stein Brenner Field 484 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: needs to be destroyed. Rob Cast's story endeavors of at 485 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: least seven doubles, and that was the thought coming in 486 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: to playing at stein Brenner Field. It's been a little wacky. 487 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 1: Feels like some balls are just leaving the yard like 488 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: it's nothing, and then some of them are just getting 489 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: blown down. You know, it's really you know, it's it's 490 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: a spring training complex. You know, it's a minor league 491 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: complex complex at the end of the day. You know, 492 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: I've always been one of those people where I kind 493 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: of like Tropicanna. To be honest, in Florida, listen, I 494 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,720 Speaker 1: like the AC. I'm a pale man. I like to 495 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: be out of the sun as much as possible. So 496 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm one of the few that likes Tropicana 497 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: Field mainly because of the air conditioning. It's it's I 498 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: like being outside for baseball games too. I understand that's 499 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: how you got to watch baseball, But to me, Tropic 500 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: Canna it's kind of a nice change of pace just 501 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: because of the AC. Florida's is so freaking hot all 502 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: the time. I'm just saying, let's do a couple more here, 503 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: Let's do a couple more. Ah, what do we got? 504 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 1: What do we got? Yeah? Pats for life. I was 505 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: just very surprised how much the ball was dying at 506 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: the track. You know, like I said, Casas had a 507 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: couple of very hard hit balls tonight. I thought one 508 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: of them was gonna leave, and uh, like you said, 509 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: they just die. What do we got? I'm seeing a 510 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: lot of comments here in this thread about the bullpen. 511 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: You know that really is the story of the night, 512 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: not just the bullpen, just the entire pitching staff tonight 513 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: did a great job. What do we got here? Deal core? 514 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: One more thing on the bullpen? Let's share this one. 515 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: Weis It was filthy, Whitlock was filthier and Slayton was 516 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: absolutely disgusting. Is the pen better than I thought? Maybe 517 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: all we really need is a solid Hendrix. You know, 518 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: it's funny coming into the year, It's kind of like 519 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: last year, right, you weren't sure about the rotation, You 520 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: weren't sure how the starting pitching was gonna be, and 521 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: then it ended up you know, at least, you know, 522 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: for the most part, in the half in the first 523 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: half and the second half it wasn't as great, but 524 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: the starting pitching was looking very good and the bullpen 525 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: coming into this year, that was a bit of a 526 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: concern for some people, and this bullpen has been just 527 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: freaking nails so far this year. Let's actually go to 528 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: the Fangraft's rankings here and let's see where they rank 529 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: in fangraft wins a replacement. Right now, coming into tonight, 530 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: the Red Sox bullpen in fangraft war is number one 531 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: overall and they just solidified their number one spot. The 532 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: era coming into tonight for the bullpen was a four 533 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: point two one that is gonna get lowered. So you're 534 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: probably thinking, well, Robbie, how the heck are they ranking 535 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: number one in wins above replacement with an elra over 536 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: a four. Well, it's because of the FIP a two 537 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: point nine to two on the FIP. They're doing a 538 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: great job at keeping the balls in the yard zero 539 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: point five three home runs per nine coming into tonight, 540 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: the bullpen has done a sensational job at keeping the 541 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: ball in the yard. Do want to see some more 542 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: strikeouts though, just under eight and a half strikeouts per 543 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: nine from the bullpen. But when you got Slayton looking 544 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: nasty like that tonight, Let's see if he keeps building 545 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: that momentum. You know, when you got Whitlock just looking nasty. 546 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: These guys can strike out hitters. It's just a matter 547 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: of let's go at the consistency going a little bit. 548 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 3: So. 549 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: Number one bullpen in Major League Baseball according to Fangrafts. 550 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: But everybody, I'm out of here for tonight. I do 551 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: want to thank you so much. Also, if you can 552 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: hit that like button for us on the way out. 553 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: See a lot of you in the chat here, let's 554 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: actually see what you got. Nick. Isn't Dobbins pitching, so again, 555 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the announcement. I would, I don't know. 556 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: I haven't. I'm not on Twitter right now. I'm doing 557 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: the live stream obviously, so I haven't seen anything there. 558 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: Some people were speculating that Dobbins could be the guy. 559 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: If you call up Dobbins though, well that and then 560 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: you send him back down, Well that's gonna use another option. 561 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: So do they want to do that, That's something I 562 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: think is fair to consider, or do they just kind 563 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: of move guys up a little bit, have Crochet go 564 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: for the opener or go with a bullpen game, right, 565 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: you got tomorrow off, so guys are gonna be arrested, 566 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: So there's a few ways they could go, Josh, red 567 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: Sox really turned it around after Robbie left. Coincidence, I 568 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: think not well, g Willakers, I freaking stink. I'm not 569 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: going to a game ever. Again. It seems like every 570 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: time I go to a game, they freaking lose, Especially 571 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: because it's the Rais, they always lose to the freaking Rays. 572 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: I hate everything? What else we got here? Ian? He 573 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: just might be the best hitter on Oh I see 574 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: what you're saying. Ian, he just might be the best 575 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: hitter on the Red Sox. And he's with the Wu Socks. 576 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: You're talking about Roman Anthony. I mean Roman's doing just 577 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: I mean he's looking great, right. I do think the 578 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: Red Sox again, I'll touch on that point one more time. 579 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: I think they would probably like to see a bit 580 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: more of the zone contact cleaned up a little bit. 581 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: It's not bad necessarily, but I wonder if maybe they 582 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: would like to see a little bit more out of that. Again. 583 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: I know they're ten and ten right now. I understand 584 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: the premise for calling him up. You're right, you want 585 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: the best players on the team, but you also have 586 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: to think about the development too. Do you want to 587 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: have him work of fine tune a couple of things 588 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: at Triple A. Matt Shaw for the Cubs, right, highly 589 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: tatted prospect. I'm a big Matt Shaw guy. I was 590 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: kind of helping the Red Sox. We're gonna draft him 591 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I was definitely on the 592 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: Matt Shaw train there and he just got sent down. Right, 593 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: This is a guy that was, you know, looking primed 594 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: to be a Rookie of the Year candidate for the Cubs, 595 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: and he just got sent back down. So you know, 596 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: it's kind of one of those things where there's a 597 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: big difference between Triple A and Major League Baseball. I 598 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: think Roman's gonna end up being a great player, but 599 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: I'd rather him work on those things, right, little things. 600 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: Cut down on the strikeouts a little bit, make a 601 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 1: bit more contact in the zone. When he is making 602 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: contact in the zone, he's hitting the absolute crap out 603 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: of the ball. But it's kind of fine tuning those things. Again. 604 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: If they end up calling him up at some point 605 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, I'm not gonna be 606 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: upset about it. I would absolutely love to see and 607 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: Anthony up in the bigs, So we'll see how that goes. 608 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: Zachary Sanders. Nothing has been posted yet on the starter 609 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: for the opener, so we'll keep an eye on that 610 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: again one more time. That he could just go, you know, 611 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: the rotation, just you know, Crochet go the opener and 612 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: he'll be on a normal five days rest, could just 613 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: go with a bullpen game. I also wonder, you know, 614 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: would they want Crochet to maybe have another day of rest. 615 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: I know they said they're just gonna let him go 616 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: this year, but I don't know, maybe I get I 617 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: wonder what the Red Sox thinking is with that. Would 618 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: they rather him have an extra day? You know, you 619 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 1: go back to Alex Cora. You remember he was throwing 620 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: the no hitter. Alex Corra said after the game that 621 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: he was kind of just glad the no hitter was 622 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: done right. He was almost like relieved and happy it 623 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: got broken up because his pitch cow was starting to 624 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: get up there near one hundred pitches. So kind of 625 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: makes me wonder, I wonder if they would like for 626 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: him to have another day. We'll see, We'll see Josh 627 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: and the chat before you head out. Check out the 628 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: Bellinger catch to end the game. Well, on that note, 629 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna end the show. Yeah, we're gonna end the 630 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: show right there, everybody.
