Speaker 2: Left field deep hap back it up.

00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: All the out of the wall. See a ladder off

00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: the beach. Three run ball by Pregnant swinging a high

Speaker 1: fly ball of the right again deep, backing up, Tucker

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: turning around, Watch it sail. That's gone. He's done it again.

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: You gotta love that. Ladies and gentlemen, the Red Sox

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: salvaging the series against the Cubs. Here today, Welcome to

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: massl Territory, brought to about the Foul Territory Network. The

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: Red Sox showed you today they can hang with the

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: big boys. They can hang with the postseason teams. This

14
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: Cubs team very good. I've been all over this Cubs

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: team going since going into the season here. Very high

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: on this Cubs team. One of the best offenses in

17
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: all of Major League Baseball. They got a solid pitching

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: department over there. I do think they need to add

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: something for the rotation there, maybe something for the bullpen

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: as well. I could see something like that. But very

21
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: talented Cubs team here and uh they showed you why.

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: In the first couple of games, but today the Red

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: Sox showed you they can absolutely hang with teams like this.

24
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: When you have a guy like Garrett Crochet on the mound,

25
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: when you have a pig like that on the mound,

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna need to make an upgrade there in the rotation.

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep saying it. I'm gonna stick to my guns. Listen.

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: I love Brian Bao, I like Lucas Gielito a lot,

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: and they didn't do bad at all in this series.

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they are, so I don't want to

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: know anyone in the comments telling me, Robbie, why are

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: you ragging on Geo and Bao. I mean, I'm not

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: ragging on those guys. I'm just saying when I'm thinking postseason,

34
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: when I'm thinking World Series, you gotta get one more guy,

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: one more stud Geobao they can definitely be studs. But

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: listen what I saw here against the Cup with those two,

37
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I like them in a game three to four situation.

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: I need a game two That's what I'm looking for,

39
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: and I think the Red Sox gonna have plenty of opportunities.

40
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: And we actually do have a little bit of news

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: that we are going to get to today. At the

42
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: end of the show, we're gonna be talking about today's game. Obviously,

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: Alex Bregman showing you why they need to sign this

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: guy to an extension. Where is the extension? Where's the contract?

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Someone break out the typewriter, someone, break out whatever it

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: is that you're going to use up to use to

47
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: type up this contract here. Get that ready, get that

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: hot off the presses. You need to get what did

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: I say, hot off the printer? I mean, get this

50
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: extension in that locker for Bregman right now. Get Boris

51
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: at the table wherever he is, if he's in his

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: silk pajamas and his luxurious mansion somewhere, get him wherever

53
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: he is and get this extension done. I mean, Alex

54
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: Bregman's showing you here today, Like Dave O'Brien said, off

55
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: the bench, that's the guy that you need to be,

56
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: the you need to have as the face of the franchise.

57
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: He needs to be signed up here. I mean, that's

58
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: a big time home run. It's a close game at

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: that point, and he just puts your head like that,

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: coming off the bench and doing it in a place

61
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: with you know, against the team that was hot after him.

62
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Remember go back to the offseason you're hearing about. Obviously

63
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: the Red Sox the Tigers were in pursuit, and all

64
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: of a sudden the Cubs woke up for him, and

65
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: it looked like they were maybe even getting pretty close

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: to getting something done. And in the end, the Red

67
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: Sox they pointed up the big bucks and they got

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: it done. Bregman's a gamer man. Bregman is a face

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: of the franchise, kind of a guy. And I want

70
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: that guy in Boston for years to come. I've watched

71
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: Red Sox baseball for quite a while. Now I know

72
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: a guy when I see it. You know, it's like

73
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: the same thing with Dustin Bjroy. I'm like, that's the guy.

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: That's the guy that you need to sign up. Bregman amazing.

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Got a love what he did coming off the bench today.

76
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: And shout out to Alex Corp. For making that move

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: going for the pink shit there. Love that And how

78
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: about will you or brave? Someone grabbed the King the

79
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: King's crown. I've been giving that a lot here to

80
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: SETI as of late King SETI, but I think right

81
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: now you got to give the crown to will Your Brave.

82
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: I think that's what we're gonna do. Instead of calling

83
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: it like player of the game. I think I'm gonna

84
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: be doing it like like a I don't know, I

85
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: gotta come up with some kind of a name for it,

86
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: but like a like a crowning segment, right, King will

87
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: Your here today, he's phenomenal. A couple of home runs

88
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: on the day. Man, oh man, you gotta love it.

89
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: And listen, you know, we all keep talking about trades,

90
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: we all keep talking about surplus of outfielders. Here, I mean,

91
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: he's showing you why you got to keep him around.

92
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: He leads the Red Sox and home runs very good

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: defensively out there. He showed off his arm. I mean,

94
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: we already know how good of an arm, you know,

95
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: will Your has. But he showed off the arm a

96
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: couple of times here today, you know, making a couple

97
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: of good throws in Brave, Love me some Williard, King

98
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: Willier for the day. He is my player of the game.

99
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: And Garrett Crochet, let's touch on him really quick. Like

100
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: I said at the beginning of the show, at the

101
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: top of the show, when you got a guy like

102
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Crochet on the mound, you can go out there and

103
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: you can go win some games. But not just games,

104
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: not just any games, but postseason games against postseason caliber teams.

105
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: That's what you need from Garrett Crochet, and that's what

106
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: he's gonna give you every single time out. Was it

107
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: his best start of the year. No, but a very

108
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: solid start against a very good offense there. You know,

109
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: sure they were getting the bat on the ball here today,

110
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: but Crochet, he looked fine and dandy for the most part.

111
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: If you ask me, gotta love it. Got to love

112
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: what the Red Sox they did here today. Did they

113
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: win the series? No, ten game wins ten game wins

114
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: streak snapped coming into this one, but they salvaged it

115
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: here today and they looked very good doing so. But

116
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: I will say though the offense, it took him a

117
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: little bit to get going there. They took I think

118
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: they were still taking a bit of a nap, a

119
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: bit of a break from the All Star break, but

120
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: they finally got it going here today late. Before I

121
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,960

00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: number two out there. I know the talk of the

153
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,880

154
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but you can never say never.

155
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: That's what I've always learned here when it comes to

156
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: talking trades, free agents, whatever it may be. I'll get

157
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: to that. We do have a bit of news from

158
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: Bob Nightingale well today I will touch on that as well,

159
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: and a few draft picks. Craig Breslow. He's probably working

160
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: the phones, maybe trying to work out some trades possibly,

161
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: but also getting some draft picked signed today. I'll dive

162
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: into that. So let's get to the offense, shall we.

163
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: Let's get to this offense. Like I said, pretty quiet,

164
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: the first six innings only had two hits, the first

165
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: six innings. He had a few base runners along the way,

166
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: getting a couple of walks. Shout out, Roman Anthony. This

167
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: guy was sick today. He had his own you know,

168
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's sick game. That is a joke. Obviously, that's

169
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: one of the greatest performances of all time. I'm exaggerating

170
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: a Roman Anthony came into the game today under the weather,

171
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: not feeling very good. You saw him dhing today. Masa

172
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: was out in left field today. That turned some heads.

173
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: I'll turn to that in just a little bit. Do

174
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: have something on that. But Masa out in left field today.

175
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony getting the job done with the bat though.

176
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Get well soon, Roman Anthony. Whatever you came down with,

177
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: go get yourself some vitamin C. Go get yourself a nappy, nap,

178
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: Roman anthety. This guy's so good. But overall only two

179
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: hits to the first six innings. Kate Horton, Man, this

180
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: guy showed you why he was a first round pick

181
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 1: back a couple of years ago, a few years ago.

182
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: Guy's very good. We talked about him last night. Good vello,

183
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: good stuff. The one thing that's been eluding him this

184
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: year is putting guys away gets a good amount of

185
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: swing and miss, but overall strikeouts not amazing for him.

186
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: But today he was really working his way through the

187
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: lineup the Red Sox. They were starting to show some well,

188
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: they did show some life later on in the game,

189
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: but you saw horr and maybe a couple of cracks

190
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: were coming through and the Cubs ended up pulling him.

191
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: But hey, tip of the cap to him. He looked

192
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: pretty solid here today. But the sixth inning, Duran had

193
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 1: the walk and then Roman with a groundout. And on

194
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: this play for the for this exact play here, Roman

195
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: had the ground out and then Duran as he was

196
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: going to second base, Nico Horner, he got called for interference,

197
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: so Duran ended up getting over to third base. A

198
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: bit of a confusion there, but Duran, you know, he

199
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: seemed pretty adamant that you know, there was interference there

200
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: and they did end up calling that. Ah, but then

201
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: you weren't able to come through here. Love SETI loved

202
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do this year. But this

203
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: is one of those situations where you know, the lack

204
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: of situational hitting has come back to bite the Red Sox.

205
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: You had to run around third, you had a chance

206
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: to score there. And but SETI pulling the ball to

207
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: the right side, that's a time where you got to

208
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: try and go opo of that. You got to try

209
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 1: and hit that to the right side. I mean, with

210
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Duran's speed, even a ground ball over to the second

211
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: base that you know that's going to score a run.

212
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: So but then massive striking out that ended the threat.

213
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: But then the Red Sox offense waking up here seventh inning,

214
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 1: will your two run shot made it two to one.

215
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: It just felt like a matter of time before Willier

216
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: was going to come through with something, and or not

217
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: just Willier, but anyone in this offense. You're thinking, like, man,

218
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: they can't be shut down this much. I mean, listen,

219
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: I know it's a good Cubs team, but they got

220
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: to come through it something at some point. And oh, okay,

221
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: we just got some news here across the board. Ken

222
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: Rosenthal is reporting that the Phillies have signed David Robertson.

223
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: That was actually going to be a little bit, a

224
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: little bit of the news for today that I was

225
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: going to touch on. And uh, okay, David Robertson going

226
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: to Philly. The Red Sox were in attendance to scout him.

227
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: But uh, there is what it is, David Robertson going

228
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: to the Phillies, and that was a guy I was

229
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: looking at in the offseason. Maybe the Red Sox had

230
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: signed him. But he's at the point in his career

231
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: now where you know it's ah, he doesn't really need

232
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: a picture in the first half, right, He's had the

233
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: latter part of his career, So good for him getting

234
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: himself a contrack at the Phillies. And the Phillies do

235
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: need some bullpen out, so we'll get to see David

236
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: Robertson maybe in the upcoming series, but William eventually, the

237
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: Red Sox coming through two rung shot eighth inning, Bregman

238
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: off the bench, pinkshit three run home run pining for

239
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: Masa that made it five to one. A great call

240
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: from Kor there getting bregmant in the game. You know,

241
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: Bregman not starting today. But to me, you know, when

242
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: you got a close game and you got to have

243
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: your best guys up, I think that was the right move,

244
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: even though you know you were ahead at that moment,

245
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: you had a threat going, you got to get your

246
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: best guys in there. In my opinion, So and then

247
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 1: will You're adding on his second home run in the

248
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: of the game, twentieth home run of the season that

249
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: made a six to one that leads the Red Sox

250
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: and Homers. So solid job with these guys today, putting

251
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: the team on their back in the later innings. Glad

252
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: the Red Sox are able to wake up here today.

253
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: Let's get to Garrett Crochet again. Like I said, not

254
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: his best outing here today. Pretty solid for the most part, though, right,

255
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: We've seen better performances from Crochet. He went six innings,

256
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: eight hits, one earned five strikeouts on the day, a

257
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: couple of walks Crochet, but again, you're going up against

258
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: a really good Cubs offense, one of the best in baseball.

259
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: You know, we saw this yesterday with Bao from Gilio

260
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: as well. Really putting in a good amount of different pitches, right,

261
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 1: especially with this offense. I didn't mind the approach from

262
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: the pitching staff, right, just giving him a ton of

263
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: different looks here, and that's what Crochet did. And not

264
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: just a ton of different looks, but just balanced overall,

265
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: just a good mix of pitches. Overall. He got fourteen

266
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: whiffs on the day, seven from the fastball he was

267
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: up in the zone, for the most part with the fastball,

268
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: he was mixing around the location with all of his

269
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: other pitches, you know, sweeper, going down, going in the

270
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: zone as well. He had a good balance of going

271
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: in and out of the zone here today, keeping the

272
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Cubs off balanced the most part, and he just wasn't able.

273
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: He just didn't allow them to really come through the

274
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: big knock here today. They had some stuff going though.

275
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: Pca had the double in the second inning. Crochet actually

276
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: got him trying to see third, so that was a

277
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: big one, and then Swanson ended up moving up to

278
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: second base. Then Hap coming through the RBI base hit,

279
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 1: Swanson ended up scoring on that play, made it one

280
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 1: nothing fourth inning. After that though, he was able to

281
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: keep the Cubs at bay for the most part. Fourth inning,

282
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: this is where we had the incident with Masataka Yoshida

283
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: out in left field. Fly ball to Massa looked like

284
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: he was fine, looked like he had it, and all

285
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Duran He's just coming in headstrong and

286
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: runs into Massa. Luckily he held onto it. I was

287
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: a little confused on this one. When they showed the

288
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: replay after it did look like Massa was calling for it.

289
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Maybe Duran couldn't hear him,

290
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: or I'm not sure what happened on that play. But

291
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: to me, I would say of Massa, if he's camped

292
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: under it pretty comfortably for the most part, and you

293
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: can literally see him saying, I got it, I got it.

294
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: I think Duran, I don't know. I mean, I'm not

295
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: out there. I don't know what the what the volume

296
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: is like out there. I'm not sure what these guys

297
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: are able to hear and not hear. But you know,

298
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to pick on Duran here. He actually

299
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: had a couple of good defensive plays here today. But Duran,

300
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: more often than not, you see him get involved in

301
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: these situations right where you know, you can maybe look

302
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: at it where okay, yeah, Duran, he did goof up

303
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: that one. But then there's been other times where even

304
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: if you can't fully you know, say it's on him,

305
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: he's still involved with it. Somehow. It just happens time

306
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: and time again. Again. I'm not saying Duran is always

307
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: making mistakes, you know, left him right, but he just

308
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: seems to be in the middle of all of these

309
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: things that tend to happen. Not all of them, obviously,

310
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: but a good amount. I hope that's the fair way

311
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: to say it. I feel like we can all agree

312
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: on that one Duran. He could definitely make a great

313
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: play here and there, but there's just so many times

314
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: where he's just right in the middle of something. You know,

315
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: Luckily nothing ended a bad happening out of that one

316
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: six inning PCA with another double PCA, so good wild pitch,

317
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: move him over to third base, Gare Crochet locking it

318
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: down here though, striking out Swanson Hap ground ball left side,

319
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: very big ground out right there, especially with Hap getting

320
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: the RBI base hit later on in the game. The

321
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: fact that you got him to ground out to the

322
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: left side, solid job from Crochet, especially with the speed

323
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: of PCA ground ball right side. You know, all of

324
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: a sudden that could be another Cubs run, but and

325
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe the momentum of the game shifts a

326
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: little bit, you never know. And then striking out Turner

327
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: to end his day, just a good, gritty outing for

328
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: Crochet in my opinion, even though he was running into

329
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble. I just never felt uncomfortable.

330
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: I never felt like, oh, no, like we're about to

331
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: We're about to blow this one right kind of like

332
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, listen, I don't mean to pick on Greg,

333
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: but anytime, why certain if he gives up a walk,

334
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh no, oh no, Greg Wiser, please don't don't.

335
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: Don't hurt my Don't hurt me today. Please. Crochet never

336
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: gives me that feeling. Ever. Bullpen came in after him,

337
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: Whitlock Hicks Alkala three, Shutty locking it down. Overall, just

338
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: a good day today. It took a little bit for

339
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: the offense to get going, took him a little while,

340
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: took a few, you know, about two and a half

341
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: games for the most part, are a little more than

342
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: two and a half games. But they got it done.

343
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: You gotta love it and salvaging the series against the Cubs.

344
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: But getting back to my first point, just showing you

345
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: they can hang with a postseason team, especially not just

346
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: any postseason team. But I think this Cub's team they

347
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: are strong enough to at least get to the National

348
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: League Championship Series. I think they are that good. I

349
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: think if they make one move, maybe two for the

350
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: pitching staff, I think this is a team they could

351
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: make a run of the World Series. I do feel

352
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: very confident about that. And hey, the Red Sox, they

353
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: hung tough here today, had your best guys stepping up

354
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: for you. I think, really, what this tells me if

355
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: they can make a couple of moves, I think this

356
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: team could absolutely go on a run. Right, So, before

357
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: I do get to the Phillies preview, we do gotta

358

381
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: I did see a super chat Brandon. You're saying here

382
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: stop saying you're going live twenty minutes before you do.

383
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: I apologize, Brandon, But now I do want to say

384
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: one thing I usually do. Whenever I put the time,

385
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: sometimes I have to push it back a little bit

386
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to get something to work or whatever.

387
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: We usually what I do. Let's say, for example, I

388
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: set the time for five thirty. I usually like to

389
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: give it around ten minutes, right, so that way people

390
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: can see the notification, that way they can come in.

391
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: I've been doing live streams for a long time, and

392
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: I always just that's something I've always done. I like

393
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: to let people see that, hey, I'm about to go live,

394
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: and that way they can get here for the start

395
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: of the show. I try not to let it go

396
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: too long, so I do apologize if I let it

397
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: go a little long after that, but I usually like

398
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: to give a little bit of breathing room, a little

399
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: bit of leeway so everyone can get here for the

400
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: start of the show. But I'll try to be a

401
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: little quicker, I promise you, my friend. Thank you for

402
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: the super chat. I appreciate the support. Let's get into

403
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: it here for the Phillies. We got another tough one here,

404
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, and actually, really quick, let's pull up

405
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: the latest standings before we get into the Phillies series

406
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: and taking a look. See now the Red Sox fifty

407
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: four and forty seven here, let me move this on

408
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: over so you all can see, and holding on to

409
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: the third wild card spot as we speak, Tampa Bay.

410
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: They lost today and the Red Sox are a game

411
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: in half up for the third wildcard spot. So as

412
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: of right now, the Yankees holding on the number one,

413
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: manners at number two, and the Mariags they'veen playing some

414
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: good baseball as of like winning five straight, so there's

415
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a dogfight for this wildcard spot, ladies and gentlemen.

416
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: So I'm very, very interested to see how this all

417
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: shakes up at the end of the year. But I'm

418
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: telling you, man, I'm feeling good about this deadline. I am.

419
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: You know, last year, I don't know, even though the

420
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: Red Sox they were in an ok spot actually right

421
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: around this same record last year, but when you compare

422
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: the talent level with this team compared to last year's team,

423
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of one of those things where

424
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean that team means sure. You know, you're thinking, okay, hey,

425
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: maybe this team has something here, but I don't know,

426
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: it just felt like they weren't fully there yet, if

427
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: that makes sense, especially organizational wise, where you know you're

428
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: still waiting on these top prospects that can come up

429
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: and help the tribute. Right. You know, last year, the

430
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: moves they ended up making not surprising because you know,

431
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: the Red Sox they were going through a bit of

432
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: a roster crunch at that point where you had guys

433
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: coming up on Rule five eligibility. You know, who was

434
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: the uh Nick york I was going completely blank on

435
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: that one. I believe Matthew Lugo was coming up on

436
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: Rule five eligibility. So, you know, the Red Sox were

437
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: going through a bit of a roster crunch, so the

438
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: moves that they made it was kind of like you're

439
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: sort of killing two birds with one stone, where you

440
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: were able to get off of you know, get those

441
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: guys off of the roster so that way you weren't

442
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: forced to, you know, throw them up for Rule five possibility,

443
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: and then you were able to bring back some talent.

444
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: Obviously the talent they brought back didn't really help out,

445
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: but wasn't surprised to see that's how the Red Sox

446
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: ended up going. It wasn't the best trade deadline you

447
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: could ever have, but where they were as an organization

448
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: just it kind of made sense and it still does

449
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: to me in hindsight. But this year, though, now that

450
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: you have all this talent at the major league roster,

451
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: now that you are in a good spot once again,

452
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: now that you have an ace at the top of

453
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: the rotation, they're in a much better spot to go

454
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: make some moves of the deadline, some better moves, some

455
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: higher upside moves right. Last year is more kind of

456
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: sharing things up. This year, you're really looking to maximize

457
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: the possibilities that you have in the American League. So

458
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: feeling good about this one, feeling good about the deadline

459
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: coming up. And another big difference. Last year coming out

460
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: of the All Star Break, they got swept by the Dodgers.

461
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: This year, I mean you were facing that same possibility

462
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: getting swept by you know, yet again, another good team.

463
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: They held on to this one. So a little bit

464
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: of an improvement from last year, a little bit, a

465
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: little bit. But you got the Phillies coming up. Remember

466
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: last year you had the Rockies. After the Dodgers. Time

467
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: you got the freaking Phillies. So it does not stop.

468
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 1: As to the Phillies right now. Taking a look, see

469
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: they are in first place in the National League. He's

470
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: fifty six and forty three. Very good team. I mean

471
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: they've been a very good team now for a few years.

472
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: We know the drill with the Phillies. You got bats

473
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: like Trey Turner, Bryce Harper, old friend Kyle Schwarber, still

474
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: to this day wish we had somehow kept Kyle Schwarber.

475
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: You know, you're gonna have some other guys like Castianos,

476
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: you know in here. I will say, though, I will

477
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: say they do have a lot of lefties in this lineup,

478
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: so it'd be interesting to see how this Red Sox

479
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: pitching staff really goes after some of these guys, you know,

480
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Marsh you know, at the bottom of the order

481
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: hasn't really been able to produce all that much for

482
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: the Phillies. I mean, yeah, you know, when you got

483
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: these guys at the top like Turner and Schwarber, Harper,

484
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna be just awful to deal with.

485
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: But then you get a little bit of breathing room

486
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: towards the bottom of the lineup here. You know, you

487
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: got lot of guys that they're just not you know,

488
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: you got how many four guys at the bottom of

489
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: the lineup here that have under a seven hundred ops.

490
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: So this is where, you know, it looks frightening. But

491
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: to me I was, actually, you know, this Cubs lineup,

492
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: that's a way more difficult lineup to navigate through. I

493
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: hope I don't eat my words on that one. But

494
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: when comparing this Phillies lineup, they're more top heavy than

495
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: the Cubs. The Cubs are just more evenly spread out.

496
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: That's a tough lineup to navigate through. That's why Crochet's

497
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: performance was even better than what the status sheet showed today.

498
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: The Phillies, though, I think you you should be able

499
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: to handle this offense. But the name of the game

500
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: with the Phillies, I mean, you're you're going up against

501
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: easily one of the best pitching staffs in all of

502
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, if not the best. Let's actually take

503
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: a look here at where they rank when it comes

504
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: to starting pitching on fanggrafts. As of right now, the

505
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: Phillies are all right, let me fix what I just said.

506
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: They are the number one rotation in all of Major

507
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: League Baseball, number one in f WAR three point three

508
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: two ERA three point two eight on the FIP, almost

509
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: ten strikeouts per nine, two point six walks per nine.

510
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you got your hands full with this

511
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: pitching staff, and uh, right off the bat, you're gonna

512
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: be get yourself a little Zach Wheeler. A little Zach Wheeler.

513
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're looking for a mismatch, my goodness,

514
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't know about this one. This one might not

515
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: be too pretty here tomorrow. I don't know. Zach Wheeler

516
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: and Walker Buehler. I mean, Buehller has looked a little

517
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: better in the last couple of addings, but I don't

518
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: know about this one. Ladies and gentlemen, Zach Wheeler. That's uh,

519
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: that might be the mismatch of mismatches. We'll see though,

520
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 1: We'll see. Actually, how has Wheeler been doing here the

521
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 1: last couple of addings. Well, you know, against San Diego

522
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: last time they were able to get to him a

523
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: little bit, six hits, four runs. But against Cincy he

524
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: had a complete game with twelve strikeouts in the start

525
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: before he had ten k's against the Well, the Po's

526
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: rays had just seen him, so maybe they made some

527
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of an adjustment there. Yeah, Zach Wheeler is really good.

528
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: That's gonna be that's gonna be tough. But then this

529
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: is where I have a little bit of hope. This

530
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: is where I have a little bit of hope in

531
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: this one. And this is yet another another bit of

532
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: a mismatch. But I could see some positives with this.

533
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: Richard fitz did look pretty solid in his last start,

534
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: did look pretty good again. It was the Rockies, granted,

535
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: but he went to the six sitting five hits to earned.

536
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: So you know, stuff was looking good. Fastball was looking good,

537
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: breaking stuff, and so Richard fits and hey, the Phillies,

538
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: they haven't seen him before, so maybe that could be

539
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: something that works in the Red Sox favor. And Christopher

540
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: sang Chez obviously. I mean, you know, he's been regarded

541
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: as one of the more underrated arms in baseball for

542
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: a while now, but I think it's gotten to the

543
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: point where he's been so underrated to where I think

544
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: he's probably properly rated now. I think everyone knows now

545
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: at this point, Ristopher saying, Chez, he's solid, and he's

546
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. He's gonna throw in a lot of

547
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: sinkers with you, some change ups, some sliders as well.

548
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna be tough. But this is where I'm looking

549
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: for the Red Sox righty bats to be stepping up here,

550
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: Rob Rethsneinder, Romei, Gonzalez, let's see, let's see here. And

551
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: then he got another lefty, Jesus Lozardo. Now, this guy

552
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: was looking amazing in the first part of the year,

553
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: but he has been cooling off a little bit over

554
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 1: the last several weeks. Now, the FIP is looking good

555
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: at a two point eight seven, he already has steadily

556
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: gotten up there at a four point twenty nine, he's

557
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: gonna rack up the strikeouts. But his last few starts here,

558
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: he gave up four earned in four and two thirds

559
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: against the Angels. He gave up five earned against the

560
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: Reds not too long ago over two winnings. He looked

561
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: against the Giants over seven. But he's been a little

562
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: more up and down. Goodness gracious, he gave him twelve

563
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: runs against the Brewers about uh what was that month

564
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: and a half ago? Crying out loud, that is a

565
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: horrendous start. But jess Lozardo has been a little up

566
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: and down here. But again, another lefty. So this is

567
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: where I'm looking for Rome and Rob to really be

568
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: stepping up here. So I think the Red Sox they

569
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: have a shot to win this series. I don't think

570
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: that's completely out of the question here. And then Lucas Gilito,

571
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: where you know, he's been looking solid here for a

572
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: little while, going back to the beginning of June. So

573
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: I think this is a winnable series. You know, I

574
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: know everyone be like, oh the Phillies, Oh man, the

575
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: Phillies can come on no, I think sure, great pitching,

576
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: but I think they have a better shot than you

577
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: would think in this series. That's just me. That's just me.

578
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: But everybody, if you are with me, live On, Nesson,

579
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: we do have to wrap it up right there. Thank

580
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: you for joining me here today. We'll be live here

581
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: tomorrow for the Nesson post game show. Thank you for

582
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: joining me yourself. A good rest of your night. I'll

583
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. But everybody, let's get to the new here.

584
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: Let's get to the news and taking a look. See

585
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: at what we got. Well, we just got some news

586
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: with David Robertson going to the Phillies. Wouldn't be surprised

587
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: if we end up seeing him out of the Phillies bullpen.

588
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: But you got some other stuff here now. Bob Nightingale,

589
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: he put this out in is Uh every Sunday morning,

590
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: he'll put out an article on the USA today and

591
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: he said here. I tweeted about it today, said the

592
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: Red Sox have sent scouts to watch both Merril Kelly

593
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: and Zach Gallant. Now, I wrote here, Gowan's been up

594
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: and down this year above a five, FIP just below

595
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: a five, but he has the track record Kelly on

596
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: the other hand, has been solid three point three four

597
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: era right around the same with the FIP. I said,

598
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: my guy is Joe Ryan, but I do think Merril

599
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: Kelly is a good fallback option. Now listen to these guys,

600
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: would Reynolds, They would be a lot cheaper than Joe Ryan.

601
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: I would love to go out there and acquire Ryan,

602
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: but I've already been on the record saying, you know,

603
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: not quite sure if the Red Sox is gonna be

604
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: able to pull it off. You know, that's a that's

605
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot, and with how crazy the deadline gets,

606
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: that might be a little too much to overcome. At

607
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: the deadline where you got so many different phone calls

608
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: being made, teams trying to you know, you even get

609
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: situations where, you know, the Red Sox maybe you know, yeah,

610
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: when you're looking at you know, possible packages that you

611
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: could put together, maybe getting third teams involved, you know, yeah,

612
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: like you could see it where it has the possibilities

613
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: of getting done when you're looking at it from just

614
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: that point of view. But then you're gonna have situations

615
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: where all of a sudden, the Yankees make a call,

616
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: Oh hey, here the Red Sox are making a call, Hey,

617
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, we're interested in Joe Ryan. You know with

618
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, Hey, we're interested in Joe Ryan. And

619
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: they start making calls, they're starting to, you know, make

620
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: the waters a little bit muddy for a team like

621
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: the Red Sox, especially teams in division get a third

622
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: team involved, and that makes it even a little more crazy. Right. So,

623
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: when you have that factor with how expensive Ryan's going

624
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: to be, I do think it is going to be

625
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: a little too good to be true to be able

626
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: to land Ryan. I hope I'm wrong about that. I

627
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: really do, because I think they could get it done.

628
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: But that's where I wonder if the off season we

629
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: have a little bit more breathing room, if you were

630
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: to get a you know, go back to Garrett crochet

631
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: last headline. I mean, there was a little bit of

632
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: a difference there when it came to that situation because

633
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: they had to monitor his innings and he was saying,

634
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, the only way he was going to pitch

635
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: in the postseason is if he got a contract extension.

636
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: So that was different in that case. Still, though, you know,

637
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: the White Sox, you know, they were looking for to

638
00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: really sell high on him with the market and you

639
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: know it just I mean I was seeing a report,

640
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: well who put this report out that the White Sox

641
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: they were asking for both Rome and Anthony and Marcella Meyer.

642
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean that that would have been ridiculous, you know,

643
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: But that's what these teams are gonna do. So I

644
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: don't know. I just don't know if the stars are

645
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: gonna rely for Joe Ryan. I hope I'm wrong, but

646
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: I could definitely see it for Kelly. He's gonna be

647
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: a lot cheaper, he's a rental. And maybe you could

648
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: even do something with Josh Shnaylor if you wanted to

649
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: really make an upgrade left handed bat first base. You know,

650
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: Toro has been struggling for the most part over the

651
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: last month or so. Maybe some kind of a package deal,

652
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, I could see something like that possibly, you know,

653
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: I don't know about Gallen. Maybe a little two up

654
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: and down, but maybe the Red Sox could see something

655
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: with Gallen. Who knows, we will see. But then we

656
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: also had this from mister John Hamon. Mister John Hammon,

657
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: he can't believe it. He can't believe it, he says

658
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: here several teams have called the dats about all star

659
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: lefty starter, Mackenzie Gore, New NAT's GM Mike Deve Bartolo,

660
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't know why, I'm just thinking Bartolo Cologne has

661
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: said that while he prefers to keep the core group,

662
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: he'll always listen. Probably a long shot with two more

663
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: years before free agency, but worth teams trying. I'm gonna

664
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: be very honest with you. I would be surprised if

665
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan got moved at this point. I would be shocked.

666
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 1: If Mackenzie Gore got moved, I would be And here's why.

667
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: Because Mackenzie Gore is actually he's going to be more

668
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: expensive than Joe Ryan. They both have the same amount

669
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: of control left. And while Joe Ryan's been very good

670
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: this year, Mackenzie Gore has been excellent this year, and

671
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: he's been one of the best pictures in all of baseball.

672
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: My goodness. Nineteen starts, one hundred, ten innings, pitch a

673
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: three point zero two FIP at a two point nine

674
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: to two over eleven strikeouts per nine. That's a better

675
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: rate than Joe Ryan under three walks per nine, keeping

676
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: the ball in the yarn. As of right now, McKenzie

677
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: Gore ranks eighth and fangraft wins above replacement among all

678
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: starting pictures, while Joe Ryan ranks eighteenth. So Mackenzie Gore

679
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: he is going to be very expensive. I mean, Joe

680
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: Ryan is going to be too. But I think the

681
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,879
Speaker 1: Nationals they are in every position here to be able

682
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: to really really look for a haul for Gore. I mean, yeah,

683
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 1: the Twins absolutely, They'll get themselves a pretty penny for

684
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan. But for Mackenzie Gore, I mean, holy col

685
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: You'll get more than what the Twins would get from

686
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: Joe Ryan. So I don't know if this is going

687
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: to be in the cards. And I'm thinking of the

688
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with the Twins, right because I

689
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: think for the Twins they have still incentive to hang

690
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: on to Joe Ryan. There is an argument to trade

691
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: him really, you know, get back a good mix of

692
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: major league ready talent that's young, cost controlled, with prospects

693
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 1: that could help them over the next few years, help them,

694
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, kind of retool a little bit, but you

695
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: can still keep running because the Twins want to compete.

696
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 1: You know, They're not gonna be these big time players

697
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: out in free agency. So when they have guys like

698
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: this that still have that much control, they have every

699
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: incentive to hang on to a guy like that, at

700
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: least for a little while longer. Right, see how things

701
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: go and the Nationals same thing. They got him back

702
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: in the Wan Soto trade. So to me, I think

703
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: the Nationals would very much like to hang on to Gore,

704
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, not mainly for that reason, but they got

705
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: him back, you know, in a package that they thought

706
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: would help them compete. And I think the Nationals do

707
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: want to compete. I say, you know, now that they've

708
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: switched it up, you know, with the front office look

709
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: out for them this offseason, maybe the Nationals can go

710
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: out there, go spend some money, you know, and really

711
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: put out a competitive team on the field next year.

712
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: I think that is very possible. Go out there and

713
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: maybe go get another bat for this lineup, you know,

714
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: hopefully you get a bit more of a step forward,

715
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: you know from Dylan Cruz, who has fully lived up

716
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: to the hype yet, but James would obviously, he's been

717
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: amazing this year. C J. Abrams, He's been very good. Right, So,

718
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: I you know, Nathaniel Lowe if they get him to

719
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, he hasn't really produced all that much this year.

720
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: He's been okay, I mean he's been fine. I may

721
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,959
Speaker 1: actually pull up the numbers. I mean no, not really,

722
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: because he's at a negative f war he's got under

723
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: a seven hundred ops. I mean no. So I take

724
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: it back what I just said. You know, so they

725
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: just need bats in my opinion, and you know you're

726
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: not gonna if you don't have gore, then you don't

727
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: have it A So I could see the Nationals maybe

728
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: going out there, go after say another guy for the rotation,

729
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: maybe get one more bat in the lineup, and maybe

730
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: the Nationals are in business next year. I just don't

731
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get moved too expensive. The Nationals want

732
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 1: to compete, but like I always say, never, say never. Now,

733
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: we had a couple of draft signings. Kyson Witherspoon number

734
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: fifteen pick overall going to the Red Sox. Nice little

735
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: birthday gift for them. He was projected to go in

736
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: the top ten. Jim kallis reporting here today that they

737
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: signed him for five million. That is a little bit underslot,

738
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: so they were able to save around what exactly one

739
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen two hundred dollars. Not bad, not bad.

740
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: I wish I had that nice little chunk of change

741
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: but nice. I mean in a slight underslot. You know,

742
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: that little bit of savings can go a long way

743
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: in you know, signing some of these later picks. So

744
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: if you can get a guy to sign underslot, even

745
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: if it's just for a little especially with your bonus

746
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 1: pool and the draft, that can go a long way.

747
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: They also signed Marcus Phillips their second or their second

748
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: pick in the their supplemental first rounder. They also went

749
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: underslot on him two point five millions, so they saved

750
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 1: themselves just under four hundred k, so a five hundred

751
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: k savings with the first two picks again, and that

752
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: goes a long way with getting some of these guys

753
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: in the later rounds. And you know, another thing to

754
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: add on here, let me actually let me pull this up.

755
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: You know one guy I did do a video on this.

756
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: I did a separate episode, like a bonus episode. I

757
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: will say this. You know, if I'm looking at the

758
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: Red Sox picks, like I'm looking at someone like a

759
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: fabian Bania where this guy he went to the Christian

760
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: Military Academy in Puerto Rico, go look up some video

761
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: on fabian Bania. There's not a whole lot there's I

762
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: found one video on him on Instagram. He is six

763
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: foot two, two hundred pounds at eighteen years old. He's

764
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: like a presence at the plate. And you know, I

765
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,040

766
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: a pick where maybe you could use those savings to

767
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,440
