1 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: How're we doing, Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Massa Territory 2 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: brought to you by the Foul Territory Network. And I 3 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: know I've said a few times this year this is 4 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: a must win, but tonight this was a must win. 5 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: The Red Sox five game losing streak coming into this 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: one just got swept by the Brewers, a team that really, 7 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you should have at least won 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: two out of three in that one. It's been tough 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: times for the Red Sox as of late, going against 10 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: the team, you know, like the Atlanta Braves. They've had 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: their struggles this year too, but over the last few weeks, 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: for the most part, they have played better. And obviously 13 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: they got a lot of talent, and they just got 14 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: Ronald Accunye back recently. So you were in for another 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: tough series here in the Red Sox. They've showed up here. 16 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: They were a team that, you know, sure they still 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: had some issues here throughout the night, but they got 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: the job done. And I think, I mean, honestly, like 19 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, we're all okay if every game is not 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: perfect by any means, but if you can find a 21 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: way to just get the job done, that's all that 22 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: matters at the end of the day. But they've had, 23 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 1: you know, guys that were supposed to be productive this year, 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: you know, not doing really anything as of late. Right 25 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: you're looking at Trevor Story for the most part, a 26 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: guy that's been in dfa territory on a lot of 27 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,839 Speaker 1: people's minds. You know, obviously making a lot of money 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: over the last few years, you know, making a quite 29 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: a big salary this year. But you know, if you 30 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: think back to some of the players, you know that 31 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: haven't lived up to their contracts, like Pablo Sandoval, you know, 32 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: Hanley Ramirez was another one the Red Sox of dfade 33 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: those guys, and then Trevor Story, you know, with the 34 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: lack of production that he's had, you know, people were 35 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: starting to bring this up as maybe a possibility, but 36 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: he really, uh, he came through in a big way tonight, 37 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: not just for the Red Sox but for himself. A 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: big home run from Trevor Story today. But the bottom 39 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: of the order, really want to shout out the bottom 40 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: of the order. They looked very good tonight. I'll get 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: into that as well. Abraham Toro, you know, you had 42 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: one play there in this game. Where he I mean 43 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: had goodness, gracious, We'll get to that. I'll break it 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: all down when we get to the postgame breakdown. But 45 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: he at one point saved the game by a toe 46 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: and I mean that literally. Abraham Toro, great game for 47 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: him tonight on both sides of the ball. Well, there 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: was one little thing but ended up obviously. I'll get 49 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: to that. I'll get to that, gi Alito. Unfortunately, another 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 1: four and two thirds innings for the Red Sox. I 51 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: feel like the Red Sox just can't get out of 52 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: this cycle of four and two thirds innings. But he 53 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: got the job done. He had a couple of pretty 54 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: high leverage spots, a couple of nail bier spots, but 55 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: Jilida was able to do enough in four and two thirds. 56 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: But the bullpen, you know, there were a couple of 57 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: moments I got a little uncomfortable with the bullpen shut 58 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: it down for the most part. Overall, a good win 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: for the Red Sox tonight. We'll break this down. Before 60 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: I do get started, we do have a word from 61 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: our sponsor. 62 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: It is complicated enough to figure out what type of 63 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: car you want, but when it comes to pricing and 64 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: best time to buy, and all of that information that 65 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: you're looking for.

If the price changes and 69 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 3: comes down to where I want it to be. Bang, 70 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: I get a notification.

And uh, 85 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: I mean listen. I got to center the offense around 86 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: Trevor story tonight because he had the big moment here tonight. 87 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: But let's kind of work our way to how we 88 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: got to that point. Now, the Braves did get this 89 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: started off tonight with a one nothing lead, and you 90 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: know it was kind of one of these things where 91 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh, here we go again. Right, the Red 92 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: Sox just, you know, constantly finding ways to make mistakes. 93 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: You had to throw home from will you or bray 94 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: you and unfortunately Narvas couldn't keep the keep the ball 95 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: in the glove right, wasn't able to really get a 96 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: It was a perfect throw from a bray you on 97 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: the base hit and Ron Raccunye Junior. He was out 98 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: by a mile. It was a great throw. Unfortunately it 99 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: took It was a bit of a late hop to Carlostonvis. 100 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: You know, had atty a pretty strong bounce to him, 101 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: but you just unfortunately couldn't come up with it. That's 102 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: a play that you gotta make at the end of 103 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: the day. You know. Sure, Matt Olsen, you know, good 104 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: hit from him. He had Jeelides number pretty much all night. 105 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, really the Braves they shouldn't have 106 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: had anything on the board here tonight. So but you know, 107 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: when that play happened, I'm thinking, here we go again. Man, 108 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: you know people. You know, I feel like I've been 109 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: seeing this one line from a lot of different people 110 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: out there, you know, especially from the radio guys. Right, 111 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: you're seeing the youth of this team. You know, carlostvis 112 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: Sure he's having a great year. You know, he's in 113 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: his rookie season. But that's a play you gotta make 114 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the day. You have to make 115 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: that play of your Carlostonvias. And he was kicking himself too, 116 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: no doubt, but you know, it's just those little things. 117 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: But I'm really glad the Red Sox didn't let things 118 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: get away from them tonight. So we'll get to the 119 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: one sequence of events later in the game where it 120 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: looked like maybe the Braves were gaining some momentum. But 121 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: right after that, right the Red Sox first inning opportunity, 122 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: they were overall not good with the runners in scoring 123 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: position tonight. That's been an issue all year. The really 124 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: when it comes to the situational hitting with this team, 125 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: it's dreadful. But the first inning you had another opportunity 126 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: there Raffi Bass hit Williard with the walk, but then 127 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: Nervas and Meyers striking out. You got to come up 128 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: with something there. Fourth inning. This is where the big 129 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: moment happened. Right. It felt like Billy Bean in the 130 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: Moneyball movie when Scott Hadiberg hit the home run and 131 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: then Billy Bean just turns to the TV. This was 132 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: one of those moments for me, at least nervas Meyer 133 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: actually striking out again in this inning. But Abraham at 134 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: a good game tonight, keeping leading alive with the base hit, 135 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: and then Trevor Story breaking out of a massive slump 136 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: the second worst OPS in the month of May. Believe 137 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: it or not, Christian Campbell actually has a worse OPS 138 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: in the month of May. Trevor Story is somehow better. 139 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: I know that might be hard to believe, but that 140 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: is true. But Trevor Story over four hundred and thirty 141 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: feet on the home run, Hey man, There's still something there, right, 142 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: still something there. But that home run got the Red 143 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: Sox ahead in the game. Six inning. Neirvas with a 144 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: double only hit tonight for Carlos Narvias with an Abraham 145 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: Toro with the double as well, adding an insurance one 146 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: that adding an insurance run that made a three to one. 147 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: You got a great game tonight, three for four. A 148 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: couple of doubles. Abraham Toro. We'll get to the other 149 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: thing hear in just a second. But overall, Toro hitting 150 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: two ninety four on the year so far with an 151 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: eight forty three ops, three homers in Abraham Torra, have 152 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: we found our first basement? My goodness, Holy cal Abraham Toro. 153 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: He's been a solid pickup and he was a spring 154 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: trading invite. Hey, gotta love it. Seventh inning, you had 155 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: some mischances here. You had some mischances sticking with the offense. 156 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: Christian Campbell had the base hit. I liked this base 157 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: hit from Christian Campbell. It was an opposite field hit 158 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: to me, when guys are taking it the other way, 159 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: that shows me things are lining up nicely, the timing's 160 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: looking good, and uh, you know, you're just making a good, 161 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: solid contact hit like Christian Campbell did. I like seeing 162 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: that he went to for four. Tonight, SETI with a 163 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: bass hit. Raffi walking to load the bases, but ref 164 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: Snyder coming up against the lefty Dylan Lee strikeout. Unfortunately, 165 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: ref Snyder can't do it all against lefties all the time. 166 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: Narvaia stead have a hard hit ball after this, but 167 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: it went right to Alex Radugo out in the left field. 168 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: But that was up to that point. You're thinking, all right, 169 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: all right, the Red Sox are going to hang on 170 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: to a pretty close lead here. But then Raffi adding 171 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: on some insurance in the ninth inning. Gotta love that 172 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 1: two RBI bas hit after Seti and Duran got on, 173 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: they made it five to one. Overall, a very good 174 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: night for the offense. Again, you know, you had more 175 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: opportunities with runners in scoring position throughout the night. Hey, 176 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: you know what, you don't have to be perfect, but 177 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: at least come up in a couple of big moments, 178 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: and the Red Sox did that tonight. Now let's get 179 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: to well, let's get to the next two topics, right, 180 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: These two kind of blend in with each other. Right, 181 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: We'll talking about gie Alito and Abraham Toro here. Now, Gielito, 182 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: let's talk about him. Not really a great night, but 183 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: he got the job done. He did enough. Like I 184 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: said in the intro, another four and two thirds innings. 185 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: The Red Sox just can't seem to get out of 186 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: their way with these short innings. Outside of Garrett Crochet 187 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: four and two thirds, five hits, three strikeouts, two walks, 188 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: nine hard hit balls allowed from Gielito Tonight. I noticed 189 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: in the first inning the stuff didn't seem there right. 190 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: It didn't look very crisp. I felt like the change 191 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: up wasn't getting as much drop as we've seen before. 192 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: It just looked a little flat. It didn't seem to 193 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: have much of a difference when it came to just 194 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: the movement profile of it. Just I don't know, it 195 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: wasn't looking all that great. But then the first inning, 196 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, the stuff seemed a little off, 197 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: and you know, Acunya with the base say it, Zuna 198 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: with the walk. Olsen again had the RBI base hit 199 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: second inning and give up a couple of base hits there, 200 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: but was able to wiggle around out of it. He 201 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: settled down for the third, but then the fourth inning 202 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: he ran into some trouble again for do Go with 203 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: the walk. I felt like he lacked command at times tonight. 204 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: Murphy with the base hit, Harris with the line out, 205 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: Williams of the ground out, so he's able to bounce 206 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: back with a couple of outs there and a huge 207 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: strikeout to Ronald Acunya Junior on the eighth pitch, and 208 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: that was quite the battle there, slider up and in, 209 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: and I felt like that was all he had left 210 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: in that ab because the two prior pitches. Acuna fouled 211 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: off a fastball and he found off a shape I 212 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: can't speak. He fouled off a change up as well, 213 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking, like, well, he's catching up to the fastball, 214 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: he's catching up to the change up. I mean, he's 215 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: where he's timing both of these pictures. Well, I'm thinking 216 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: in my head, I'm like, I feel like he has 217 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: to throw a slider here. I feel like he can't 218 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: go to either of those pitches again. And he went 219 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: with a slider all right, went with it up and in, 220 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: and he was able to locate that pitch pretty well 221 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: and he got him swinging. That was a big strikeout man. 222 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: And then eventually Bernardino came in, and Bernardino or no, 223 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: not Bernardino, I'm sorry. Justin Wilson came in and he 224 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: got the strikeout to Olsen So Gilito. Overall a pretty 225 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: solid night. But the bullpen. I guess all of these 226 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: these next few topics they all kind of blended with 227 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: each other. Now let's get to the bullpen here. So Wilson. 228 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: Like I said, he struck out Olsen. I got to 229 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: give a big ups here to Justin Wilson. He has 230 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: been one of the MVPs in this bullpen this year. 231 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: He's been so good, so good. Justin Wilson, what a 232 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: pick up. I remember people when that signing happened. I 233 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: remember people thinking like, really, this is what we're doing 234 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: Justin Wilson. But I remember when that happened because it 235 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: was earlier in the offseason. And anytime I see a 236 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: team go after a guy like that early in the 237 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: off season on a major league deal, that tells me 238 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: that they got something on that guy, and they were 239 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: able to land him on a pretty good deal. And 240 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why I felt good about the Justin 241 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: Wilson signing when it happened. But then Garrett Whitlock came in. 242 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: Woodlock was a little messy here. He's been scaring the 243 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: crap out of me as of late. Garrett Whitlock Man, 244 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: he was able to get through it here tonight, but 245 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: a couple of things coming up right still continue. He's 246 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: continuing to battle the command issues Riley with a but 247 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: he was able to retire the next three in the 248 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: sixth inning. Seventh inning, though, Williams with the double, Albie's 249 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: with a hit by pitch, but then he got a 250 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: huge strikeout to Azuna. All some of the ground. Now 251 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: this is where Abraham Toro by a toe came in. 252 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: All some of the ground. Ball to shortstop Toro on 253 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: the throws a bit of a wide throw from story, 254 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: but Toro was just able to keep the foot on 255 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: the bag. They actually called him safe because it looked 256 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 1: like he did come off the bag. And then on 257 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: the play the runner was coming home, Toro throws at 258 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: home and throws it away. And that's where I'm thinking, like, 259 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, here we go. All right, It's here's 260 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: the same team that keeps making all these mistakes. They 261 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: keep finding new ways to lose. But cor challenge to play, 262 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: and it was a good challenge again by a toe 263 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: ended up keeping the foot on the bag and they 264 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: reversed the call and he was out. Gotta love that Abraham. 265 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: Like I said, he's been a solid pick up for 266 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: the Red Sox so far. Weisser came in for the 267 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: eighth inning, a one, two three. But the story of 268 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: the eighth inning here Marcello Meyer, what a catch, amazing 269 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: dive and catch at third base to end the inning. 270 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: He was pumped up on the play. Gotta love it, man. 271 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: I'm really liking Marcelo Meyer. Man. You know, he's obviously, 272 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, one of the top prospects in the game. 273 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: But I just like that he's contributing. He's you know, 274 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: he's not he's not a black hole, but he's not 275 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: you know, he's not on a red hot streak carrying 276 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: the team. He's just there contributing. That's what I want, 277 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not you know, everyone talks about you know, 278 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, Craig Breslo, he's made comments about Roman Anthony 279 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: in the last couple of days. You know, he doesn't 280 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: want to put the world on Roman Anthony. Basically, he 281 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: doesn't want to bring him in into a situation where 282 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: they feel like he's the savior of the team. And no, 283 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm not expecting Marcelo Meyer Roman Anthony to be the 284 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: saviors of the team. I just want them to contribute, 285 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: and I feel like that's what Meyer's been doing so far. 286 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: He's been pretty solid with the bats. He's getting you 287 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: some good abs, playing good defense out there. Really like 288 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: Marcela Meyer now with the bats tonight. You know, nothing crazy, 289 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: but good defense there. Good defense Mason, I mean yeah 290 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: with the bat. Sure, not anything great, but I felt 291 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: like he was working the counts all right, and he 292 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: made a great play defensively. So Shaman came in for 293 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: the ninth, striking out Harris, striking out White Kune with 294 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: the PopOut to Meyer to end the game. Gotta love that, man, 295 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: Gotta love that again. Just a gritty win tonight. You know, 296 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: it was weird because it doesn't you know, looking at 297 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: the final score, it doesn't look like it was a 298 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: close game. But for the most part, it was a 299 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: pretty close game until Raffi and it added on the 300 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: insurance runs there. But you know, this is what I 301 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: you know, this is what I think the Red Sox 302 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do. You know, they're gonna have 303 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: to get just enough from all three phases of the 304 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: game to pull out these wins. You know, if they can, 305 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, get hot here for a little bit, pull 306 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: together a few wins, get back to five hundred, kind 307 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: of hold your own until Bregman comes back and Anthony. 308 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm sure Anthony's gonna be up here at some point 309 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: in the next couple of weeks, I would think. My 310 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: guess is Anthony's gonna be up for the Yankee Series. 311 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: I've kind of for a while now, I've looked at 312 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: that day off before the Yankee Series, and I'm I 313 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: don't know why. In my head, just looks like a 314 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: good day to call up Roman Anthony right, going to 315 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: the Bronx, going to Yankee Stadium. I mean, you've had, 316 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: you know, prospects debut in Yankee Stadium before, right. Mookie 317 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: Betts obviously rafe with a big moment at Yankee Stadium. 318 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: He didn't debut there, but had the big moment like 319 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: his welcome party, the home run off Roldist Chapman. There's 320 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: just something about the young players with the Red Sox 321 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: playing at Yankee Stadium. I don't know why. He just 322 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: has like this feel to it. And Roman, he's ready. 323 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 1: The numbers are there, the guy is hitting the crap 324 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: out of the ball. Sure, maybe they want him to 325 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: work on a couple of things down to the minors, 326 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, sure there are some things he 327 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: could work on. Right if you do look at some 328 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: of the numbers, the swing and miss, it's pretty middle 329 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: of the road and that's at triple A, you know. 330 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: So that's something where in the majors that's I feel 331 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: like going they get exploited a little bit. Wouldn't be 332 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: surprised to see some swinging it swinging mississues with Anthony 333 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: in the early get go when he first comes up. 334 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: But you know, something that you can work on over 335 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: the next week or so, you know, Craig he was 336 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: talking about he wants to see some better numbers against 337 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: breaking pitches in the zone with Roman Anthony, so that's 338 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: something that he can work on. It's nitpicking of anything. 339 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: I do think there is a bit of that Super 340 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: two arbitration status tied into it. It's kind of what 341 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm thinking. I think they're trying to give themselves as 342 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: much of a cushion with that. There's no hard deadline 343 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: for the Super two status, but it comes down to 344 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: the amount of playing time that you get. If you're 345 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: in the top twenty two percent in playing time in 346 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: the first three years, then you end up getting a 347 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: fourth year of arbitration, and that can potentially lead to 348 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars spent for the Red Sox. 349 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: It's the business side of things. It's it's lame. You know, 350 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: they're never gonna say it out loud, They'll never tell you. 351 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: That's why you know they're not calling them up. But 352 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: I think that's a part of it. I think they're 353 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: just holding off until they absolutely can't anymore. I think 354 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 1: that's what it is. So you're gonna see Roman soon. 355 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: But again, if the Red Sox can string together a 356 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: few wins here, get back to five hundred, call Roman 357 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: up and then maybe you end up seeing you know, 358 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: a bit more consistency until Bregman comes back, and you know, 359 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: then you got the deadline coming up with the Red 360 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: Sox by well, then all of a sudden things are 361 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: looking up for the Red Sox. So they're gonna have 362 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: to get this squared away over the you know immediately. 363 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta figure out a way if they 364 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: can pull together, you know, another three more wins in 365 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: a row here to get back to five hungred and 366 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: I got to see that Liam fantasy pure mid meme 367 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: one more time then, uh, and I'm fine with that 368 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: right but after that, you know, come on, but the 369 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: season today, it starts today, right obviously not the spot 370 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: you want to be in at this point, but it 371 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: is what it is. Good win for the Red Sox tonight. 372 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: Now let's get to the game to preview, the game 373 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: to preview, and uh, listen, you know it's gonna get 374 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: a Let me pull up the picture match up here. 375 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: I don't know why my game day isn't working. Hold 376 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: on one second. It is the end of May, and 377 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: I think you know for the Red Sox they're gonna 378 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: like that. Right, let's flip the calendar here to June. 379 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: Already we're all tired of this month. But we got 380 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: Walker Buehler on the mound. I don't know why my 381 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: share screen is not popping up here. Hold on one second, 382 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: there it is. I don't know why that's not uh, 383 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: it's not popping up for me lately. But you got 384 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 1: Walker Bueller, Spencer Schwellenbach, right. The Red Sox, hey, you know, 385 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: went up against schwelling Bach not too long ago, but 386 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: they were able to get the w in that one, 387 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: and then Walker Buehler. Right. Taking a look at the 388 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: last outing for Walker Buler against Baltimore, he was all right. 389 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: He went five innings, four hits, two earned ye, not 390 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: the sharpest we've seen him. Came back against the Mets 391 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: I mean that guy he was he was looking he 392 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: was looking pretty good until he got ejected. He had 393 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: four k's through what was it two and a third 394 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: So against Baltimore he ran into a couple of things, 395 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: but overall, Walker Buehller. Good to see him back on 396 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: the mound, getting these starts now every fifth day. But 397 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: like we saw with Schwellenbach that last time he went 398 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 1: against the Red Sox, he went seven innings, gave up 399 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: the four right, but his last outing against San Diego 400 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: eleven k's through seven innings. Schwellenbach man, you know, sure whatever, 401 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: he gave it four runs against the Red Sox. But 402 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: this is a guy with a lot of pitches. I'm 403 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: sure he's gonna come in with a different game plan. 404 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm expecting Schwellenbach to be on top of his game. 405 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: You know this is going to be a battle. If 406 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: we take a look here, it's not a ton of 407 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: experience against Bueller of al. He's had a few abs. 408 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: He's three for ten. Olsen He's had five AB's, Ozuna's 409 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: had eight, Riley's had six. Riley's done pretty well against him, 410 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: thirteen hundred ops against him, no home runs against Bueller, However, 411 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: Raffie Devers had a couple of home runs against Schwellenbach. 412 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: He's two for five against him. Look at that twenty 413 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: one hundred ops against Schwellenbach in his career. But obviously, 414 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: ye like, like I said, you know, he just came 415 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: he just went up against the Red Sox. So but 416 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: with Schwellenbach, you know, he's probably gonna come in with 417 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: a different approach than what he did last time. We'll see, 418 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: we'll see what ends up happening. But let's see if 419 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: the Red Sox man they can they can start piecing 420 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: some wins together here. That would be wonderful if they 421 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: can do that. But you don't name of the game 422 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: here tonight. It was the season started tonight. I obviously 423 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: you're starting in the negatives here right, four games under 424 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: five hundred coming in. But uh, you know, there's been 425 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: a lot of talk over the last couple of days. 426 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: I thought maybe you could have seen some kind of 427 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 1: a move yesterday. I mean, we did end up seeing 428 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: a move. We actually do have some news today. Liam 429 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 1: Hendricks going on the IL. I guess it's right hip inflammation? 430 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: Is that a phantom? I el stin. I don't know 431 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: he was limping a little bit not too long ago, 432 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: in and outing, so maybe there was something there, you know, 433 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: But we did see a move, right, they did call 434 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: it Nick Birdie. He's been pitching well in the minors. 435 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: He got called up not too long ago. But you know, 436 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: I thought we were there was a chance we could 437 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 1: have seen something. But you know, Craig, he made those 438 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: comments about Rome and Anthony in the last couple of days, 439 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: saying they don't want to make you know, they don't 440 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: want to get over emotional with the moves, right, you know, 441 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: they don't want to bring Roman up at a time 442 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: where everyone's going to be looking at him as the 443 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: savior of the team, and again he should not be 444 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: looked at like that. Unfortunately, that that is going to 445 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: happen and there is going to be pressure on him, 446 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: especially if you got you know, called up now. I mean, 447 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: that is definitely a way to look at it. But 448 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: you're looking for submergency with this team, So I was 449 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: wondering if that could have happened yesterday. If they can 450 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: pull together, you know, a series win here, then yeah, 451 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: I think, you know, then you got the home stand 452 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: coming up after that, So if they can piece together 453 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,719 Speaker 1: a few wins. If they can have a winning record 454 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: here over the next couple of series, then I think 455 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: things will feel a little bit more at ease, and 456 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: that will be the good time to call it Roman. 457 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: So I can understand that point of view from the 458 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: front office, but at the same time, you still want 459 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: to see submergency. I still think, no matter what, the 460 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: pressure is going to be high for Roman whenever he 461 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: comes up. You know, even if that was yesterday or 462 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: tomorrow or next week, it's still gonna be the same thing. 463 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: And I think back to when the Red Sox they've 464 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: talked about their prospects. They want to put them in 465 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: challenging situations. You know what I'm thinking, All right, well, 466 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: here you go, there's a there's a challenging situation again. 467 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: You don't want to put the world on Roman. Anthony's 468 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: twenty one years old. You don't want that, but you 469 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: do want to see urgency. I was wondering if we 470 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: were going to see some kind of an adjustment in 471 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: the coaching staff or something. Here's the thing when it 472 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: comes to the Red Sox this year, they rank pretty 473 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 1: well in a lot of facets of the game. I mean, 474 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: if we're taking a look at the starting pitching. If 475 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: you look at the starting pitching fangraft wins above replacement, 476 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: they ranked sixteenth overall. They've been fine for the most part. 477 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: Now when it comes to innings pitched, I mean because 478 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: of Garrett Crochet, He's logged a lot of innings. You know, 479 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: the Red Sox do rank tenth or eighth overall, but 480 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: you still want to see these guys getting more rings. 481 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: They haven't had terrible starting pitching overall, especially when you 482 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: factor in Crochet, but you do want to see it better. However, 483 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: the bullpen, the bullpen's been very good this year. I 484 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: know they've had a couple of issues along the way, 485 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: but when it comes to win's above replacement, they're fifth 486 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: overall this year. They're getting an r decent amount of strikeouts. 487 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: The strikeouts to walk ratio is fine, but they're not 488 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: giving up home runs and that's a good sign for 489 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: the future. Right they're at zero point right around zero 490 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: point seven home runs per nine. That's very good for 491 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: a bullpen. So this bullpen, I do think they could 492 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 1: add something at some point, but right now, I mean, 493 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: they I feel like been pretty solid, minus a couple 494 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: of times and the offense. When you look at the 495 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: offense as a whole, with the Red Sox this year, 496 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: they rank eleventh overall. You know, if you're looking at 497 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: WRC plus, they're twelfth overall. They've just been so inconsistent, 498 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: but I feel like that's going to balance over time. Again, 499 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: wait and see, they got to improve with the runners 500 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: in scoring position, that absolutely needs to get better. There 501 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: needs to be more consistency there, so the numbers don't 502 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: look bad with the Red Sox. They just need to 503 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: start getting things together. Here, I'm gonna wrap it up 504 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: right there, Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining me tonight. 505 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: We'll be back here tomorrow for the game to postgame coverage. 506 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: Make sure you got your notifications turned on.
