1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to Manster Territory, brought to you by the Foul

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: Territory Network. The Red Sox lose by final of three

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: to two today, dropping their record to forty and thirty eight.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: They're now nine to eighteen in one run losses. Just

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: no offense on the day today. You know, they fought

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: back late and made it exciting there in the ninth inning,

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: but just weren't able to capitalize. You made a couple

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: of mistakes both on the pitching side of things and defensively.

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: To me, you know, I'll say this my instant reaction

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: for you know, sure a few things happen today, but

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: the one thing that sticks out to me is the

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: defensive second base. It needs to start getting on track here.

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: It feels like second base has just been a black

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: hole over the years. You know, Christian Campbell, we're all

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: excited about him coming up this year. Obviously he ran

16
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: into his struggles offensively, but defensively as well. Negative eight

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: about outs above average at second base on the year,

18
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: triple A. Now, you know, let's see what his future

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: is going to be, especially on the position player side

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: of thing, you know, or the position side of things.

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: Is he gonna come up and play, you know, first

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: base whenever he returns, I don't know, but second base. Defensively,

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: it's been terrible and David Hamilton, once again for a

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: second straight night, just not able to get you know,

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: these plays that should be routine plays and just you know,

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: making it look difficult out there. Sure he came up

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: with the home run to make up for it last night,

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: but you know today not so much. Landon Roupe. He

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: was on top of his game today. He looked great.

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: He had the Red Sox off balance all day. They

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: had some hard hit balls along the way. They just

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: weren't able to string anything together here today. That's why,

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: you know, in these close games, you know, these that's

34
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: why you see so many of these one run losses.

35
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: You know, sure you can look at you know, starting pitching, bullpen,

36
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: but it's the defense that I feel like has really

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: come up short a lot in these one losses. And

38
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: that's where you know, David Hamilton, you gotta make a

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: routine play like that again. Love the home run from

40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: last night, he made up for it, but you know,

41
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: routine plays, you gotta get them done. And then that

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: led to the inevitable Raffie Devers home run against his

43
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: old team. It was only a matter of time before

44
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: it happened, and Raffi Devers putting the Giants on his

45
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: back today. But Brian Bao not a bad day for

46
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: him overall. Gave up a couple of home runs. You know,

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: Elliott Ramos got it started there. He got squeezed at

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: a couple of pictures by the yump I'm not really

49
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: someone that likes to complain about the umpire too much.

50
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: You've all heard me talk about that in the past.

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: But today, you know, the umpire's got to be a

52
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: little better there, right, He got squeezed on a couple.

53
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: I'll get to those in a little bit, but that

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: led to the home run. I actually would have gone

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: with a different mix. I what do I know again,

56
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm just a dufist that sits at my desk, But

57
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: I felt like he could have gone with a couple

58
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: of different pitches there in that spot. You know, he

59
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: just didn't execute, didn't get help from the umpire either.

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: In the end, it was what it was. Let's get

61
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 1: to it here, shall we. Let's get to it here.

62
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: So let's talk about Brian Bayo. Let's get to the

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: breakdown for him today a lot. You know, it wasn't

64
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: throwing the change up too much early on a lot

65
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: of sinkers, a lot of cutters. I really want that

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: change up. That picture has fallen off a little bit

67
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: for him over the last years, so it doesn't quite

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: have that same bite. Cora was talking about it in

69
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: the post game saying, you know, there's been some mechanical

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: issues with him, you know, finishing off that pitch, you know, mechanically,

71
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, but you're seeing some progress with it. He's

72
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: starting to throw it a little bit more. But the

73
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: thing with Brian Bao is there's just not a lot

74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: of differentiation when it comes to just the movement of

75
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: his pitches. And you saw that today, you know, sure

76
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: like he had he's had good VLO. There's nothing really

77
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: wrong with the vlo. There's nothing really, you know, the

78
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: sinker's got some good bite to it. But when you

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: look at the cutter, not a lot of movement on

80
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: that cutter. And you know, that was a pitch today

81
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: that he really went to a lot. He's really got

82
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: to try and get that change up going again. It's again,

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: it's not really what it was at before. But he's

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: got to figure it out there. Let's get to the

85
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: couple of mistakes that he made on the deck. Let's

86
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: get to the Elliott Ramos home run in the first inning.

87
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: Got you know, it looked like he threw a couple

88
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: of good cutters there on the corner ended up getting

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: called for balls. Right if you looked at the strike

90
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: zone on the TV, they were in the zone right

91
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: even you know Connor Wong Today's saying, oh, okay, those

92
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: look pretty good to me. So, you know, I don't

93
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: know what happened there with the umpire call. But then

94
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: the next pitch, you know, he goes leaving a cutter

95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: right over the play. Again, it's not a pitch that

96
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: has a whole lot of movement to it. When you

97
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: leave a pitch like that just right over the plate,

98
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a meet ball, right. That should have

99
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: been a home run today, right. But I could also

100
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: understand where BeO was coming from, where he wasn't getting

101
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: to call low, so he tried to elevate it a

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: little bit, but you know, he just left it up

103
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: too much that to me, I felt like that just

104
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: would have been a spot where he went with the

105
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: fastball up Prior to that pitch right, tried to get

106
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: the swing and miss up there. I would have just

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: kept attacking right. I would have, you know, gom of

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: that sinker. Where the cutter. You know, if you're thinking

109
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: about it, right, a cutter, you know that doesn't have

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot of bite to it, doesn't have a

111
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: whole lot of movement to it. You can't be leaving

112
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: that up. I mean that to me, where at least

113
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: if you went with a sink, if you went with

114
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: a sinker there would have had some downward bite. That's

115
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: what I would have done a little. I just feel

116
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: like that was the wrong pitch in that moment, or

117
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: at least just go with a fastball there, right, try

118
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: to attack the corners with some velo. I just didn't

119
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: like the I didn't like the pitch. I didn't like

120
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: the cutter there. I would have gone a little bit

121
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: different in my opinion, But it is what it is.

122
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't like the game was completely out

123
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: of reach at that point. But then you go to

124
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: the third inning and this is where David Hamilton, you know,

125
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: kicking the ball again. You got to make those plays,

126
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: you know, and it's getting to the point where it's

127
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: so frustrating. It's getting to the point now where they

128
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: just can't seem to find an answer defensively at second base.

129
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. It's like mind boggling to me.

130
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: And this is where I need Marcelo Meyer to move

131
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: over to second base when Alex Bregman gets back. I

132
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: think Marcella Meyer has to be the guy at second base.

133
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: He's done great at third base, but you got to

134
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: remember he's a natural shortstop. He should, you know, a

135
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 1: good shortstop like him should be good at third base,

136
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: and he should be good at second base as well.

137
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: I have full confidence that Marcello will be the answer

138
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: at second base, especially defensively, so we need that day.

139
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: We need Bregman to get back here because you need

140
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: to sure it up over there. But that error led

141
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: to the Raffi home run. And this is where I'm

142
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: kind of wondering, what was the thinking with going after

143
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: Raffi the way he did? Right, It was just two pitches,

144
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: but he went with a fastball back to back right

145
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: in the same spot. I'm like, what I'm thinking, Like

146
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Like did he just miss

147
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: his spot? I'm not sure what that was You can't

148
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: come fastball fastball the raffi up in the zone like that.

149
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go up in the zone to raffi

150
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: and you've got to go up a little higher than that.

151
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you just can't be leaving these fastballs right

152
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: over the plate like that, especially back to back, right

153
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: in the same spot. Basically, I don't know. Didn't like

154
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: the uh the couple of AB's there that led to

155
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: the home runs. Wasn't a big fan. But other than that,

156
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: he did pretty well today. Overall. Not a bad day

157
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 1: for Brian Bayle really at all. Six innings, four hits,

158
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: three earned, six k's not a bad day. You know.

159
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: That's where the offense needed to step up. But Land

160
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: and Roupe, Land and Roupe here today. Man just had

161
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: them off balance all day. All right, God, that's gonna

162
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: attack you with a lot of curves, a lot of sinkers.

163
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: You know, they had some hard hit balls along the way.

164
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: They just couldn't figure them out today. But they made

165
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: it interesting in the ninth inning against Camille Deval Before

166
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: before that, though, you know, they did have something cooking

167
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: in the sixth inning. Roman Anthony, good day for him today,

168
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: getting a couple of walks right, came up big in

169
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: the ninth inning, had to walk there in the sixth

170
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Story had a base hit, but then Williard with the

171
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: ground out. But Williard did come through in the ninth inning.

172
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Like I said, Roman Anthony had the double. He just

173
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: it's so it's such a treat watching Roman Anthony. Just

174
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: the way he goes about his AB's right, the patience

175
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: that he shows, the exit ve low off of the bat,

176
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: hungred three miles per hour on the double today. He's

177
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: just different. Man. This something about Roman Anthony. Man, you

178
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: can just see it. It's really special with what you're

179
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: watching with him. But he had the double. Story with

180
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: the bass hit, shout out Trevor's story. Great day for

181
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: him today, Great day for him today. Three for four

182
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: on the day. Then William with the bass hit that

183
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: made a three to one. Nate Eaton came into pinch

184
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: run he stole second and then on the throwing error

185
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: right and then Story ended up scoring on that that

186
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: made a three to two. Marcello Meyer had a pretty

187
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: decent ab. He was taking some pictures, he was checking

188
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: his swings, but in the end grounded out that moved

189
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: eating over the third base. But then Romey with the

190
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: ground out, So you know, it is what it is.

191
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: It's a loss that I'm okay with. Right when you

192
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: were seeing these losses just scream together like they were,

193
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: it was getting frustrated. But every once in a while,

194
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: you know what, you know, they've been playing so great

195
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: as of late to where it made it not as bad.

196
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm here today, But again I think you look back

197
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: to the David Hamilton defensive miscue there, and then you

198
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: just look at a couple of I think, just bad

199
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: approaches from Brian Bao. It's really all there was to

200
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: it today. In my opinion, I felt like it was

201
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: just a good effort all day. Shout out to the

202
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: bullpen as well. Luis Guerrera, Ory Alkala coming in, Jorgy Alkala, Man,

203
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: he's looking pretty good. He's got some good vlo. He

204
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: was getting these guys to, you know, just just getting

205
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: some fly balls there. Alkala is a guy I feel like,

206
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, with the VLO that he has, with the

207
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: bite that he has on some of his other pictures,

208
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: I think he could end up being a really good

209
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: under the radar get for the Red Sox. You know,

210
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: when you got that kind of vlo Man that he

211
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: could end up being something pretty effective in this bullpen, right.

212
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: I think I was, you know, touching near one hundred

213
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: miles per hour today. But overall, you know, not the

214
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: outcome you wanted here today, but good effort in the end.

215
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: He's got to clean it up a little bit in

216
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: a couple of spots. It's not gonna be perfect every

217
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: single time, but let's see what's going on here in

218
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: the chat. And thank you everyone for letting me know

219
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: that my microphone wasn't working. Who did I see someone

220
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't remember who said it in the chat? Ninety

221
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: nine over twenty two devers muted as mic. That's what

222
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: it was. It was RAFFI wasn't it. It was a

223
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: RAFFI wasn't it. I hate when that happens, man, I

224
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: hate that. It's the worst. Apologies again for the audio.

225
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: Everyone embrace Hamilton needs to go. You know, I think

226
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: David Hamilton, he does bring some good things, right, gives

227
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: you a good lefty bat off the bench. Well, not

228
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: great this year, but he has come through in some

229
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: spots this year. He's gonna give you speed. I don't

230
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: mind David Hamilton coming off the bench. I don't mind him,

231
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, getting a little action here and there, a

232
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: pinch runner. You know, I think Hamilton does have value

233
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: for this team, but he can't be playing every day,

234
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: right back to back nights now with an error on

235
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: a routine play. You just can't do it. You can't

236
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: do it. What have we got here? I just saw

237
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: someone talking about Raffie with a Yeah, four straight quality

238
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: starts here. For Brian Bayo, he's been great, He's been

239
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: very solid. Ran a couple of little mistakes along the way.

240
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: But I'm okay with Brian Bayo, you know, given these

241
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: kind of outings for you, I'm not mad at it

242
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: at all, not mad at it, you know, just the

243
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: offense today and again the errors not helping you out,

244
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Brent Bell. I like the fact that they did not

245
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: lay down. They fought to make a comeback, you know.

246
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: And that's where a guy like Roman Anthony, with what

247
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: he he can do up there, right, he just brings

248
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: so much authority up there, you know. On the swings,

249
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: man just hits lasers every single time. Anytime he makes contact.

250
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: It's just hard contact every single time. Man, Roman's gonna

251
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: be He's gonna be a force. Man. He is gonna

252
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: be a force. Give him a little bit more time,

253
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: give him some more games here to get going. I

254
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: am I am not at all, not at all. I

255
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: don't have any doubts about Roman Anthony whatsoever. So what

256
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: else have we got here? Robbie Hamilton made the error. Yeah,

257
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, if you end up making that play, you

258
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: can end up having a really different game here, George.

259
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: While Bregman is out Meyer and said he could rotate

260
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: at second base while Meyer and Toro rotate at third base.

261
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: I like Meyer at third, but Hamilton is becoming a liability. Yeah,

262
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: you know, I'm kind of okay with what they're doing

263
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: in the meantime, but they need Bregman back. They need him,

264
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: They need him back. Man. Alex Rodriguez love the shirt.

265
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: Where did you get it? Where did I get this?

266
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure I got it at the at the

267
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: store right out right across the street from Famway Park.

268
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: I think that's where I got it. What else we

269
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: got any update on Bregman? No, it looks like, you know,

270
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: he's been ramping up the running over the last week

271
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: or so. I don't think they're gonna push this guy.

272
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: I think they're just gonna do what they can. You know,

273
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: it is to stay afloat until he gets back. I'm

274
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: gonna guess either right before the All Star break, that

275
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: that series before or just after the All Star break,

276
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: That's when I'm gonna expect Bregman back. So, yeah, Moose,

277
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks that seems to be. I think, you know,

278
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: anytime like two to three weeks, right, I think maybe

279
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: that series before the All Star break. I could see that, right,

280
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: I get him a few games in before you go out,

281
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: or you just take advantage of the All Star break,

282
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: give him as much rest as possible. Right, But let's

283
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: get to the Game three preview before I do that, though,

284
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: we do have a word from our sponsor.

285
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: Krat's real question for you. So I'm in Arena Club

286
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: and I opened up a slab pack. I pulled a

287
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: Wyatt Langford Auto rookie card. I got an immediate offer

288
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: from Arena Club. I turned it down. It was in

289
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: the mid three hundredth range. I've gotten a few offers since.

290
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: Thoughts on Wyatt should I hold on?

291
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: I saw it. I didn't see it when you rip

292
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: the pack, but it looks so sick with everything around

293
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 3: and how it's spinning in your showroom. That John looked nice,

294
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: but no, you shouldn't sell it. Maybe wait till he

295
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: makes an all start or two, and all of a

296
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: sudden that three hundred goes up and you're gonna get

297
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: another instant offer right away on Arena Club.

298
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: That's right, bye, sell trade. Slab packs are there for

299
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: you too to rip a pack. And for me, I'm

300
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: just leaving it in the showroom for now deciding what

301
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to do with it. But if I did

302
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: want to sell it, then I can get myself another

303
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: slab pack or buy a card that I want to buy.

00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: fo u L.

307
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: Alrighty, let's get to it, shall we. Let's get to

308
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: a Game three preview. And I do feel good about

309
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: this one coming up here. I do feel good about it.

310
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: Lucas gi Aledo on the bump and see see what

311
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean. Okay, all you had to do was just

312
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: restart the computer. Look how quickly that shared. Isn't that wonderful?

313
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: Isn't that wonderful? But I do feel good about this

314
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: matchup Lucas Gieledo against Robbie Ray. Robbie Ray is having

315
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: himself a very good bounce back year. This is not

316
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: going to be a kkewalk by any means. Robbie Ray

317
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: has been doing great this year. Eight and two, two

318
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: point six eight e al Ray taking a look at

319
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: some of the more advanced numbers here fit at a

320
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: three point one zero ten strikeouts per nine. You know,

321
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: he's always been a guy that's had his troubles with

322
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: the command. But you know, a little high right, you know,

323
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: three point six walks per nine. But now I'm not

324
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: terrible by any means. He's done a great job at

325
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: keeping the ball in the yard, you know, keeping the

326
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: ball in the yard. Though I can't talk today what

327
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: is going on with me? Zero point seven home runs

328
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: per nine. That is a very good rate. Robbie Ray

329
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: has been excellent this year. So with Robbie Ray, you know,

330
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: with the four seemer he's going to attack up in

331
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: the zone. You know, the Red Sox they've had their

332
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: issues against fastballs at times. It's been a good pitch

333
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: for him this year. It's actually been his best pitch

334
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: for him this year. He has a ten run value

335
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: on it, and then the slider change up. Those have

336
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: been effective pictures for him as well. The curve ball,

337
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: the least usage on his pictures here, has a negative

338
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: two run value. So I would say, you know, look

339
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: out for these guys that hit breaking balls. Well, I'm

340
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: looking for Trevor Story. Remember what I said yesterday coming

341
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: into the game today, Land and Group a guy that

342
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: throws a lot of breaking balls. Trevor's story hits well,

343
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: and he went three for four today. So Trevor Story,

344
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm expecting to keep him going going into this one tomorrow.

345
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: Lots of sliders here, he's gonna live, you know, in

346
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: on lefties. Right, he's gonna go away from the righties

347
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: change up, He's gonna live in the bottom of the zone.

348
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: He's just done a good job at locating these pictures, right,

349
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: staying low with the off speed, attacking away inside on

350
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: the break on the slider there, and living up in

351
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: the zone with the fastball. Right, he's gonna change eye

352
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: levels and for the most part, he just has a

353
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: pretty simple approach, but it's very effective. Now, this curve ball,

354
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: as you can see here, it's been kind of all

355
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: over the place, right, He seems to have trouble locating it.

356
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna come in for the against Righty's that's a

357
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: bad spot. If Story can find a curve that's hanging

358
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: around in that zone, try to go to town on it, man,

359
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: So I think Robbie Ray, I mean, that's where he's

360
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to make the adjustments to someone like Story,

361
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: where try not even just to go to a curve.

362
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: But that's where with Story he's also done okay against

363
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: the sliders, to where if you can find a hanging slider,

364
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: possibly take advantage of it. All right, but Robbie Ray's

365
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: gonna work efficiently. You're gonna hear a lot of grunting

366
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: from Robbie Ray as well. But I like gi Aledo

367
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: in this matchup. I do like Lucas Giolito here right,

368
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: more of a flyball kind of a guy, take advantage

369
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: of Oracle Park there as you can see here Era

370
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: that looks high at a four point seventy three, but

371
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: the fip is actually looking pretty decent here, almost a

372
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: full run lower at a three point ninety seven. Eight

373
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: strikeouts per nine, that's pretty decent under three walks per nine,

374
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: a little over a home run per nine. He had

375
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: some issues early on, but the last few starts for

376
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: him have looked very good. Right against the Mariners his

377
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: last time out, only give up three hits, one walk.

378
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: He struck out ten. Took advantage of that picture friendly

379
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: park man. But the thing with Lucas Giolito, let's actually

380
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: go to him here. That's another guy lately. That's what

381
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: I've been noticing. He's changing the eye levels. Right, he's

382
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: going up with the fastball, he's going low with the

383
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: change ups, going inside on Righty's on the slider. Right,

384
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: he's going trying to backdoor the lefties a little bit now,

385
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: curve ball. It's been kind of all over the place

386
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: with him. But I think you're gonna see a pretty

387
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: decent pitching matchup tomorrow. I'm not gonna say it's going

388
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: to be, you know, zero's across the board, you know,

389
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: pitching dual kind of a thing, But I think you

390
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: could end up seeing some pretty good pitching on both sides. Right.

391
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: Both these guys have been pitching well as of late.

392
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: So we'll see what ends up happening here. But let's

393
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: get to the chat here, shall we. Let's see what

394
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: you're all thinking here, Let's see what you're all thinking.

395
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: Let me know what you're thinking heading into game three.

396
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: We got a little time here and it's a little

397
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: time to talk to you all in the chat. Let

398
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: me know what you're thinking. Eta on Massa Taka Yoshida,

399
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, looks like they're starting to ramp him up

400
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, before you couldn't really get

401
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: him going. I mean you kind of had to just

402
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: be in this waiting period where you know, not really

403
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: rush the rehab with him because you didn't really have

404
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: a place for him to play. But now that DH

405
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: has opened up, you're starting to see them ramp it

406
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: up a little bit with him. So again I'm looking

407
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: at Bregmann right around All Star break, I wonder if

408
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: that's when you could see Yoshida, maybe a little bit

409
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: before that, to try and get him a few abs

410
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: before going into the break. But for the most part,

411
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: I feel like you're hearing more positive news, more positive

412
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: updates about Yoshida. Seems like at this point him playing

413
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: in the outfield or not doesn't really matter all that much.

414
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: So I would love to see Massa back. I would

415
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: love to see him back. What else we got here,

416
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: Embrace is he the next face of the franchise. Do

417
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: you think the Red Sox would build around him? I

418
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: believe you're talking about Roman Anthony. Listen. Funny enough, you

419
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: see them talking to Roman Anthony postgame. This was part

420
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: of the reason why they wanted to move Rafi because,

421
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, Raffi was not really being a good role

422
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: model for the younger guys, at least when it came

423
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: to talking with the media when it came to you know,

424
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: this whole thing about the whole position change, taking it

425
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: to the media. You know, I talked with Blaze Jordan

426
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: yesterday and he said, you know, Raffi was awesome with

427
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: the young guys, right. I don't think there was any

428
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: sort of an issue there with how he was with

429
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: the players, but it was now he was conducting his

430
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: attitude when it, you know, came to speaking to the media,

431
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: when it came to issues with the front office. You

432
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: can't just go out there and air out all that stuff, right.

433
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: But again, you know, I don't think Raffi really I

434
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: don't think there were pretty much any issues when it

435
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: came to the players. You know, sure, maybe they felt

436
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: a certain type of way about you know, not wanting

437
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: to step up and play first whatever. But you know, RAFFI,

438
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, it's funny that you're seeing

439
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: Roman having the postgame conversation with the media. Roman, the

440
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: way he conducts himself whenever he talks to the media

441
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: just sounds very mature. He's level headed, you know. Honestly,

442
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox would love for him to

443
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: be the face of the franchise moving forward. I do

444
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: think the thing is, remember it takes two to tango.

445
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: I hope with the Red Sox. You know, they did

446
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: it with Christian Campbell. They got the extension worked out.

447
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: They figured it out with him, But I think they

448
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: need to figure this out with Roman Anthony. I don't think.

449
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: I hope they've learned their lesson from lowballing guys in

450
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: the past. You need to go to Rome, and I

451
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: think with a serious offer, right just like the podsreisib

452
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: with Jackson Merrill. Now that one didn't get done right away,

453
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: but you know, so I'm not expecting them to get

454
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: something done right now, but they need to get something

455
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: done with him. You need to get that done, man,

456
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: because I could absolutely see him being that guy right

457
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: that you do build around just comes down to the

458
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: Red Sox. Are they gonna finally learn their lesson from

459
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, all these contract negotiations. I don't know what

460
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: do we got here, Nick? Is this the point now

461
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: where we would go out there and trade a bray

462
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: you for a more powerful bat. I think I wouldn't

463
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: be trading a bray you for a bat. I would

464
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 1: be trading a bray you to and get some pitching,

465
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: right to try and beef up that rotation. Try and

466
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: get a guy that's gonna be a good solid option

467
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: behind Crochet, someone else that you can trust, you know,

468
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: not necessarily someone that's just gonna throw blanks up there

469
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: like Crochet does, but a guy that you're okay with

470
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: handing the ball to, you know. That's what I think

471
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: you need to do with a bray you. If they

472
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: do go that route, I wonder if Duran is I

473
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: think they see Duran as a guy that's a leader

474
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse. He's a guy that's hard to replicate

475
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: when it comes to his player profile, the speed that

476
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: he brings. You know, a bray you has more power upside.

477
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: But I think you try to bray to try and

478
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: get some pitching, and then you try to bring back

479
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: another bat in another trade. A dream scenario would be

480
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: a bray you maybe in uh, you know, a bray

481
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: you maybe a couple of prospects along. I would say

482
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: for Freddy Pral to Reee Hoskins. I think that would

483
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: be a dream scenario if you could somehow get those two.

484
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: That gives you a solid option behind Crochet and it

485
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: gives you an everyday option at first base. That would

486
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: be what I would like to do. But George, do

487
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: they think Blaze may be ready for third base by

488
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: next year? Would he be ready to play first? And

489
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: deal constans? You know, Blaze, he is a guy that

490
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: is really helping himself out, man with how he's playing.

491
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: He's playing great. I had another good game last night.

492
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: The thing with I think with Blaze, before they really

493
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: think that he's ready, I think he needs to draw

494
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: some more walks. He doesn't strike out a whole lot,

495
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: but I think they want him to work the counts

496
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more, work on the pitch selection a

497
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: little bit more, you know, really just try to make

498
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: him just a fully well rounded hitter. Right You're obviously

499
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: not going to get to that profile, you know, someone

500
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: like a Roman Anthony where the guy is just so

501
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: disciplined at the plate. But I think with Blaze, he

502
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: is definitely getting himself close to the major league ready.

503
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, just really just you know, trying to

504
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 1: be a bit more disciplined at the plate, That's what

505
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: I think. And then defensively, right, keep trying to work

506
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: on the defense. That is something I feel like he

507
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: could improve on a little bit more embrace. Did you

508
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: see the texts from Poppy with Devers? Yeah? Again, you know,

509
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm ready to move on about the whole Raffi thing.

510
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: But David Ortiz tried contacting him. You know, what do

511
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: you do? You know to me, if you got someone

512
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: like David Ortiz trying to reach out to you to

513
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: have conversations with you, and you're not answering him. To me,

514
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: that's I'm raffi at that point. Moose, do you see

515
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: Tanner coming back being back to form? You know, I

516
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: think it's really a wait and see. But with Tanner,

517
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: howck you know that he has that flexibility where you

518
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: know he can go into the bullpen if that ends up,

519
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: you know, being a route that they need to go.

520
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be interesting, right, Cutter Crawford an

521
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: update on him today. Update on him. He is getting

522
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,720
