00:02.940 --> 00:09.065
[SPEAKER_03]: Boston Red Sox pushed past the royals to take the series, led by the warpick that is Garrett Crochet.

00:09.645 --> 00:16.511
[SPEAKER_03]: The final score stands as six to two and raises the Red Sox up to a sixty four win fifty one loss mark.

00:16.791 --> 00:19.393
[SPEAKER_03]: Good for thirteen games above five hundred.

00:20.073 --> 00:22.615
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Nick the Voice joined by Terry Kushman Jr.

00:22.715 --> 00:25.998
[SPEAKER_03]: and Jason Kelly and we are the bastards of Boston.

00:26.538 --> 00:27.039
[SPEAKER_03]: Want more?

00:27.259 --> 00:31.242
[SPEAKER_03]: You can go to bastards of Boston baseball dot com for great written articles.

00:32.268 --> 00:42.776
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, I think it is only right to start this conversation off with the man himself, Garrett Crochet, looking like a real ace tonight as he's been all season.

00:43.156 --> 00:49.681
[SPEAKER_03]: But the atmosphere is just so much closer to playoffs right now than it's been up until this point.

00:49.981 --> 00:53.804
[SPEAKER_03]: You saw him with that final strike out coming off the mound screaming.

00:54.404 --> 00:56.005
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just love that.

00:56.146 --> 00:57.867
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this guy is just a fighter.

00:59.673 --> 01:04.137
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, this is why it was important to take game one because you knew you had to grow shape for game two.

01:04.737 --> 01:06.239
[SPEAKER_02]: And that can't see you line up.

01:06.299 --> 01:07.660
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not exactly threatening.

01:07.680 --> 01:15.326
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if you can contain Bobby Wood Jr, then you can pretty much shut down that entire lineup for the most part, they have.

01:15.546 --> 01:17.728
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, you knew it was a good matchup for him.

01:17.848 --> 01:21.151
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is why you go out and you trade for him and you extend him.

01:21.231 --> 01:27.597
[SPEAKER_02]: This is why you got your race because games like this where you take game one of the series, you really want to take game two, you want to keep

01:28.137 --> 01:32.399
[SPEAKER_02]: winning these series and, you know, keep threatening that top spot on the AL East.

01:32.960 --> 01:34.380
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's why I go out and get him.

01:34.480 --> 01:35.701
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I pay him the big bucks.

01:35.941 --> 01:39.703
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I know they were harping on his innings pitched tonight.

01:39.723 --> 01:42.725
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's going to set a career high with this team this year.

01:42.885 --> 01:46.907
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not too worried about him, you know, breaking down or anything like that.

01:46.927 --> 01:48.188
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the guy's built like a moose.

01:48.728 --> 01:50.089
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he'll be fine.

01:50.209 --> 01:52.010
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, as long as they can manage it a little bit,

01:52.390 --> 01:58.053
[SPEAKER_02]: don't have them throwing a hundred and twenty pitches every outing, but they manage it and, you know, he keeps going like this.

01:58.073 --> 02:01.435
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he might be the sill young favorite at this point.

02:01.575 --> 02:09.460
[SPEAKER_02]: So again, it's, it's why you make the trade it's why you sign them and, you know, games like this really show you the value of having that ace at the top of the rotation.

02:12.543 --> 02:19.790
[SPEAKER_01]: So we got called out last night by one of our former co-hosts because we're, you know, two negative apparently.

02:19.890 --> 02:25.956
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm just gonna say, you know, Garacoshe was okay, you know, he's right out.

02:27.017 --> 02:28.458
[SPEAKER_01]: He did give up two runs.

02:28.618 --> 02:31.641
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's pushing it for a side young contender.

02:32.442 --> 02:34.063
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah.

02:35.355 --> 02:37.915
[SPEAKER_01]: So anyway, yeah, he did.

02:38.536 --> 02:45.437
[SPEAKER_01]: He absolutely is in the driver seat at the moment, but Torek's scooble is right on him.

02:46.417 --> 02:57.459
[SPEAKER_01]: Scooble does have an ERA of point zero six lower, but Crochet is ahead with a couple extra wins, not that that is the be all in end all.

02:57.579 --> 03:00.240
[SPEAKER_01]: He is ahead by a couple strikeouts.

03:01.941 --> 03:13.182
[SPEAKER_01]: And, um, but I would say if the season ended today, Garrett Crochet is your American League Zion.

03:15.056 --> 03:16.177
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's a tough race.

03:16.237 --> 03:26.104
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, him versus Scooble, you really have two guys that makes you really, like, mourn for the fact that you can only give out the sign on award to one guy in the league.

03:26.644 --> 03:33.689
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, one for the American, one for the national, it really does seem sometimes like, you know, what happens when the two best or in one league?

03:33.949 --> 03:35.791
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, these two are ridiculous.

03:35.831 --> 03:42.856
[SPEAKER_03]: They're putting up pretty darn close to video game numbers when the game is getting harder and harder than ever to do just that.

03:43.596 --> 03:53.225
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you have some really dominant pictures out there, obviously, guys like Framber Valdez and Ranger Suarez, two names that are going to be free agents that I'm going to be very interested in.

03:54.086 --> 04:00.612
[SPEAKER_03]: They're great, but then there's just this whole other level that a guy like to re-excouble, or Caracrochet is tapping into.

04:01.012 --> 04:07.458
[SPEAKER_03]: And I've got to tell you, this debut season in the Red Sox uniform has not been going

04:08.672 --> 04:10.476
[SPEAKER_03]: even according to plan I would say.

04:10.597 --> 04:14.044
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we knew he was going to be great, but this guy is electric.

04:14.586 --> 04:15.387
[SPEAKER_03]: It's unbelievable.

04:15.528 --> 04:18.655
[SPEAKER_03]: Every time he takes the mound, it feels like you're going to win.

04:20.586 --> 04:43.166
[SPEAKER_02]: one hundred percent and again it's you know he's had this pedigree all along everyone knew what a great picture when to leak picture he can be when he's healthy that was just the biggest bugaboo with him that he couldn't stay healthy and he pitched for the freaking white socks who stuck so like you know he wasn't getting the wind totals he wasn't getting the notoriety around the league because who watches Chicago white socks baseball not even people in Chicago do

04:43.806 --> 04:47.289
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, it was one of those, like, it kind of went under the radar.

04:47.329 --> 05:05.927
[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone knew how good he was, but when the red socks made that trade, everyone said, okay, well, yeah, you're betting on a guy who, you know, hasn't pitched a full season, you know, apart from that last one, Chicago, but that was barely a full season, because he shut himself down in the second half, because, you know, he knew he was going to be traded, he didn't want to get hurt.

05:07.168 --> 05:12.670
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, all the all the talking heads, you know, the guys on the radio are saying, well, you know, he's very unproven.

05:12.710 --> 05:14.110
[SPEAKER_02]: They gave up a lot of prospects.

05:14.611 --> 05:17.431
[SPEAKER_02]: They gave up Kyle to you like, you know, better be worth it.

05:17.952 --> 05:20.713
[SPEAKER_02]: It obviously is, you know, they knew how good he was.

05:20.753 --> 05:22.473
[SPEAKER_02]: They knew his stuff was that electric.

05:22.533 --> 05:25.774
[SPEAKER_02]: So again, you know, it was a great trade.

05:25.854 --> 05:27.215
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't lament it one bit.

05:27.275 --> 05:27.675
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, look,

05:28.255 --> 05:34.877
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe Brad Montgomery turns into an absolute stud, you know, superstar out there and maybe he comes back to bite us.

05:34.937 --> 05:38.377
[SPEAKER_02]: But right now, I mean, Chase my draft is doing okay over there.

05:38.537 --> 05:40.078
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, he's a single setter.

05:40.098 --> 05:42.858
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not going to really burn you too bad.

05:42.918 --> 05:45.179
[SPEAKER_02]: Kyle Teele's not really hitting since he got there.

05:46.519 --> 05:48.880
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I mean, maybe Montgomery is the real prize.

05:48.920 --> 05:52.101
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe in a couple of years we're sitting there going, woof, be nice to have him.

05:52.261 --> 05:55.962
[SPEAKER_02]: But for the most part, I don't know how you can regret that trade at all.

05:56.182 --> 05:57.882
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just been absolute dynamite.

05:59.047 --> 06:00.028
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, absolutely.

06:00.768 --> 06:04.751
[SPEAKER_03]: It's really, really beautiful to see a trade that could be.

06:04.911 --> 06:08.353
[SPEAKER_03]: And I honestly hope it is for the white socks sake, a win for both teams.

06:08.894 --> 06:20.101
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, love the return that they got for him was sorry to see those guys go, but I mean, you just got to have an ace like this and that contract extension is perfect.

06:20.962 --> 06:21.722
[SPEAKER_03]: Terrier, are you okay?

06:21.742 --> 06:22.863
[SPEAKER_03]: I see the light went out on you.

06:23.385 --> 06:31.268
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so on the road as I commonly am not in a hotel room at a tournament like I normally am.

06:31.328 --> 06:37.871
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm on my girlfriend's parents patio because we're up in Maine, not in South Carolina.

06:38.831 --> 06:41.633
[SPEAKER_01]: And apparently one of my lights that I was relying on.

06:41.813 --> 06:43.653
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, there it is, might be the most intense error.

06:43.814 --> 06:44.894
[SPEAKER_01]: I just did a twist.

06:44.994 --> 06:46.355
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if that's what I have to do.

06:46.915 --> 06:49.296
[SPEAKER_01]: I was using my notepad here.

06:49.336 --> 06:50.176
[SPEAKER_01]: I was flashing it.

06:50.216 --> 06:51.016
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys can't see it.

06:51.057 --> 06:52.197
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, how do I get this thing?

06:53.016 --> 06:54.424
[SPEAKER_01]: But it may go on or off.

06:54.800 --> 06:55.320
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's it.

06:55.440 --> 06:59.083
[SPEAKER_01]: The last time I did a show here, it was a month before my mom passed.

06:59.103 --> 07:03.425
[SPEAKER_01]: So we were visiting and it was in the month of April in Maine.

07:04.065 --> 07:05.306
[SPEAKER_01]: I was on the back porch.

07:05.646 --> 07:08.048
[SPEAKER_01]: We didn't do one show a night back then.

07:08.088 --> 07:09.448
[SPEAKER_01]: We did two and a half shows.

07:09.548 --> 07:12.410
[SPEAKER_01]: So for three hours, I sat out on a frigid porch.

07:12.850 --> 07:14.671
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the temperature was twenty eight degrees.

07:14.751 --> 07:16.713
[SPEAKER_01]: They had me wrapped in blankets.

07:16.773 --> 07:19.874
[SPEAKER_01]: We weren't live streaming on all the apps.

07:19.894 --> 07:24.317
[SPEAKER_01]: So nobody knew that I looked like an Eskimo all of a sudden.

07:25.355 --> 07:28.758
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm worried about mosquitoes, but they haven't found me yet.

07:28.978 --> 07:30.800
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's hope that they don't.

07:31.541 --> 07:48.356
[SPEAKER_01]: But getting back to Garrett Crochet, he wasn't like in my top four or my top five necessarily, but by the time we did trade for him, Max Fried was off the board.

07:49.750 --> 07:54.777
[SPEAKER_01]: The Mariners starters, all eight of them that we might have wanted wasn't happening.

07:55.417 --> 08:00.504
[SPEAKER_01]: The photo liked to hoard them, but in his defense, Brazil was trying to push Yoshida on him.

08:01.746 --> 08:04.349
[SPEAKER_01]: So we know who the dummy was.

08:05.487 --> 08:06.068
[SPEAKER_01]: was our guy.

08:06.968 --> 08:18.519
[SPEAKER_01]: And so yeah, so like my whole top four wasn't happening and I wanted to see, but you know, we hadn't signed a, you know, a free agent picture to a massive deal.

08:18.659 --> 08:20.621
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was hard to be optimistic there.

08:20.641 --> 08:21.382
[SPEAKER_01]: And we still haven't.

08:21.442 --> 08:25.706
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I guess we kind of have, I guess the crochet extension does kind of fit that.

08:26.326 --> 08:29.970
[SPEAKER_01]: But by the time crochet fell to us, I was like, thank goodness.

08:31.613 --> 08:35.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Then goodness, we got someone who's probably gonna be a bona fide ace.

08:35.274 --> 08:36.975
[SPEAKER_01]: He hadn't done it for a full season.

08:37.375 --> 08:46.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Last year, he did tail off in the second half a little bit, but he did lead all of MLB and qualified starting pitchers in strikeouts per nine.

08:47.679 --> 08:59.443
[SPEAKER_01]: So he led all starters in that category, which is the one I covet the most, aside from innings pitched, obviously, because we can't have a Blake Snell type guy only pitching a hundred and twenty innings a year.

09:00.915 --> 09:07.217
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, so thank goodness we have him hopefully the health holds up.

09:07.737 --> 09:10.758
[SPEAKER_01]: We're seeing the personality that I was hoping to see in April.

09:10.818 --> 09:18.961
[SPEAKER_01]: He was kind of shy at first, but he's really, you know, he's the Hulk all of a sudden out on the mound and you need a guy like that in the playoffs.

09:19.121 --> 09:25.703
[SPEAKER_01]: You need a guy pound in his chest as he walks off the mound every inning and he's certainly been that.

09:27.088 --> 09:48.970
[SPEAKER_03]: most definitely you can see always on the sidelines whenever anyone hits a double even a single if it's an RBI you see Garrett crochet being one of the big guys over there leading these celebrations he loves getting involved he loves being a cheerleader for his boys when he's not on the mound and it's just great to see he really does love being here the whole team atmosphere we've been talking about

09:49.290 --> 09:53.775
[SPEAKER_03]: how the vibes of this clubhouse have been improving so much from years past.

09:54.415 --> 10:03.745
[SPEAKER_03]: One thing that I'd like to talk about with Crochet is really, I would like to mention a little sequence that I think really sets him apart from other pictures, what a guy of his caliber.

10:03.765 --> 10:06.367
[SPEAKER_03]: So first off, you go back to that fifth inning.

10:07.148 --> 10:08.129
[SPEAKER_03]: That got a little dicey.

10:08.270 --> 10:10.532
[SPEAKER_03]: It looked like he started to lose a little control.

10:10.573 --> 10:16.200
[SPEAKER_03]: He came out with some extra oomph to his stuff early on, started to Peter out towards the middle of his performance.

10:16.580 --> 10:17.541
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's fifth inning.

10:17.822 --> 10:19.344
[SPEAKER_03]: I think really could have been bad.

10:19.924 --> 10:25.632
[SPEAKER_03]: Because what you had, you had Randall Grichick ground out, a hundred and seven miles per hour off the bat.

10:26.566 --> 10:33.869
[SPEAKER_03]: Then, you know, that was the play where David Hamilton made that nice little looping throw and it hanged around in the air just a little bit for my liking.

10:33.889 --> 10:35.590
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, Oh, no, is he going to like this out.

10:35.990 --> 10:37.131
[SPEAKER_03]: Fortunately, Richard couldn't.

10:38.128 --> 10:50.140
[SPEAKER_03]: Then after that, you had Nick Lofton with a fly out to right field where, you know, William Brayou earns every ounce of golden his glove on that, uh, co-reening into the wall with so much grace.

10:50.280 --> 10:53.863
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it just so much knowledge that he has of that field.

10:53.923 --> 10:55.065
[SPEAKER_03]: It's intimate over there.

10:55.425 --> 10:58.268
[SPEAKER_03]: In one of the hardest right fields, if not the hardest to play in the sport.

10:59.077 --> 11:04.062
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you had Luke, male or male, single, a hundred miles per hour off the bat.

11:04.302 --> 11:10.347
[SPEAKER_03]: And then John Rave comes up, unfortunately, lines out a little blooper that torros sort of back pedals and grabs in the air.

11:11.168 --> 11:13.290
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, few, good for the defense.

11:13.310 --> 11:14.591
[SPEAKER_03]: They really bailed them out there.

11:15.512 --> 11:25.263
[SPEAKER_03]: In the seventh inning, I felt like he was also getting into a little bit of hot water, a walk to Michele Garcia, a fly out to Perez, then a double to Grigic.

11:25.923 --> 11:28.566
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm thinking, is that it for him, he's approaching a hundred pitches.

11:29.007 --> 11:33.892
[SPEAKER_03]: We gave him the next two batters back to back strikeouts for his seventh and eighth of the night.

11:35.128 --> 11:44.092
[SPEAKER_03]: If that isn't just the caliber of picture this guy is to be able to step it up in those big moments to be able to have little mistakes here and there.

11:44.612 --> 11:45.832
[SPEAKER_03]: But send it home at the end.

11:46.052 --> 11:47.453
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, the guys have beast.

11:49.415 --> 11:51.396
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and that's gonna happen in the playoffs, too.

11:51.636 --> 11:53.217
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, and God willing, they still make it.

11:53.277 --> 11:54.898
[SPEAKER_02]: I think at this point, you know, they will.

11:55.198 --> 12:00.500
[SPEAKER_02]: Whether it's wild card or, you know, we'd love to see an AL East title, but yeah, that's gonna happen in the playoffs.

12:00.540 --> 12:02.121
[SPEAKER_02]: You're gonna be facing really good opponents.

12:02.601 --> 12:05.963
[SPEAKER_02]: And as good as Garacrochet is, he's gonna get hit a little bit.

12:06.243 --> 12:07.944
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's not gonna get torched, I don't think.

12:08.044 --> 12:13.386
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, he's gonna have sequences like that where it's a close game and, you know, a runner gets on base.

12:13.786 --> 12:16.668
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's first and second, you know, one out and you kind of go on enough.

12:17.268 --> 12:24.574
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, this is looking dicey, but that's just how damn good he is that he's able to get out of it because, you know, just attack the next two hitters.

12:24.594 --> 12:25.114
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a thing.

12:25.174 --> 12:29.678
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't shy away when there's runners on base and he's getting to a little bit of trouble.

12:29.758 --> 12:31.559
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't change his approach.

12:31.579 --> 12:38.745
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't dance around hitters trying to get them to chase bad stuff and eventually, you know, walking them, he pounds a strike zone again and again.

12:38.785 --> 12:40.086
[SPEAKER_02]: He goes right after them.

12:40.646 --> 12:46.691
[SPEAKER_02]: So that approach is going to serve him well in the postseason because you can't dance around hitters in the postseason.

12:46.711 --> 12:47.812
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to go right after them.

12:48.353 --> 12:52.096
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think we can all see crochet is going to do that and he's going to do it with success.

12:54.257 --> 13:01.864
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jules in the chat stream points out he says remember when we wanted Jordan Montgomery real bad.

13:02.024 --> 13:03.265
[SPEAKER_01]: I was one of them admittedly.

13:04.311 --> 13:20.040
[SPEAKER_01]: he says thank god for that because he was junk last year had Tommy John this year and he was chubby he was he was chubby monkey for much of that Texas Rangers world series run that he was a part of

13:21.034 --> 13:25.880
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, that was a landmine and I think George Kirby was a landmine.

13:25.960 --> 13:26.901
[SPEAKER_01]: He missed time.

13:27.081 --> 13:29.504
[SPEAKER_01]: He was the guy I probably coveted the most, honestly.

13:30.125 --> 13:32.007
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, he's back now.

13:32.067 --> 13:33.569
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be our A over four.

13:34.390 --> 13:38.254
[SPEAKER_01]: Could certainly still be a major player here for the Mariners going down the stretch.

13:38.294 --> 13:40.637
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess that's all that matters because they are in it.

13:41.918 --> 13:54.027
[SPEAKER_01]: Logan Gilbert, Miss Time, Dylan Seas had Tommy John, so we kind of got the right guy outside of Max Freed, obviously, who's been one of the best in MLB.

13:54.067 --> 14:06.337
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're not going to have crochet, you know, Freed would have been pretty solid, but I think Freed will have Tommy John here at some point during that nine-year deal.

14:07.277 --> 14:16.382
[SPEAKER_01]: And another thing that's interesting to me is Walker Bueller's coming off a Tommy John.

14:16.422 --> 14:20.424
[SPEAKER_01]: This is year two post Tommy John, or he's in the year two.

14:22.004 --> 14:22.865
[SPEAKER_01]: And the dude's cooked.

14:23.165 --> 14:25.186
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't have a fastball.

14:25.946 --> 14:30.769
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe there's a role for him with his off-speed stuff, but it might not be as a starter.

14:30.829 --> 14:32.289
[SPEAKER_01]: Nick, you pointed that out.

14:32.349 --> 14:34.891
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't remember if he tweeted it or if it was in the war room.

14:36.157 --> 14:39.578
[SPEAKER_01]: you were astute with that observation.

14:39.598 --> 14:43.799
[SPEAKER_01]: And but then here's Garrett Crochet, just absolutely killing it.

14:44.819 --> 14:47.619
[SPEAKER_01]: Also year two after Tommy John.

14:47.719 --> 14:52.921
[SPEAKER_01]: So the stars really aligned, you know, for this rotation.

14:52.941 --> 14:58.062
[SPEAKER_01]: And of course, Giel Lido has bounced back and he didn't even have the full Tommy John.

14:58.082 --> 14:59.302
[SPEAKER_01]: He had the bracing procedure.

15:00.152 --> 15:05.939
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, this is the best rotation we've had in a while since at least twenty eighteen.

15:05.959 --> 15:08.642
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe it's better than that.

15:08.803 --> 15:10.044
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know who knows.

15:10.825 --> 15:15.491
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, sale crashed hard in mid August back out of the witness protection program again.

15:16.670 --> 15:22.274
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and sale crashed hard in August of of, of, twenty eighteen.

15:22.294 --> 15:25.516
[SPEAKER_01]: He sold your through the playoffs, but didn't look spectacular.

15:26.157 --> 15:43.729
[SPEAKER_01]: David Price, you know, it was an episode of Scooby Doo, most of the time with him, you know, so I don't know, but I, it's just crazy how, how amazing your, your front three starters have been.

15:44.815 --> 15:51.197
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, absolutely, Gileeto and Beo, just keep on impressing with their composure, really.

15:51.377 --> 15:54.239
[SPEAKER_03]: They had their stinkers of start in the beginning.

15:54.539 --> 15:57.120
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I would say just to throw a number out there.

15:57.140 --> 15:59.000
[SPEAKER_03]: Their first maybe five, six starts for each of them.

15:59.480 --> 16:03.942
[SPEAKER_03]: There were the underlying metric concerns, which still exists, to some extent, especially with Gileeto.

16:04.522 --> 16:08.884
[SPEAKER_03]: But I mean, you look at the guys, they just find ways to get out at the end of the day.

16:09.064 --> 16:10.925
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's really what the most important part is.

16:11.882 --> 16:14.225
[SPEAKER_03]: They are legitimate number two and three guys.

16:14.485 --> 16:21.493
[SPEAKER_03]: And right now, the discussion that I'm seeing, funnily enough, is who deserves to be called the number two?

16:21.773 --> 16:23.955
[SPEAKER_03]: It feels like both of them do in some regards.

16:24.336 --> 16:31.964
[SPEAKER_03]: I personally would go with Mayo, I think, but I, from the majority, I saw online, I saw Gilito, and I don't really think there's a wrong answer.

16:32.164 --> 16:32.745
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you guys think?

16:34.130 --> 16:34.971
[SPEAKER_02]: It was interesting.

16:35.031 --> 16:42.937
[SPEAKER_02]: I forget who posted it, but they compared Lucas Gielito's last, I think, six or seven stars to Gary crochet.

16:43.417 --> 16:45.219
[SPEAKER_02]: And they pretty much been the same.

16:45.279 --> 16:47.401
[SPEAKER_02]: I think crochet's strikeouts are a little bit higher.

16:48.281 --> 16:49.602
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's been that good.

16:49.642 --> 16:52.865
[SPEAKER_02]: Lucas Gielito has sort of rediscovered himself.

16:52.885 --> 16:54.947
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, people forget this guy was a

16:55.547 --> 17:00.014
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, a tie draft pick, a top, you know, ace with with the white socks for a while there.

17:01.316 --> 17:02.377
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been incredible.

17:02.497 --> 17:11.170
[SPEAKER_02]: I think if you had to ask who I think is the number two, I'd say right now it's Gielito because he's just been that damn good, but I think Brian Veio is

17:12.432 --> 17:13.932
[SPEAKER_02]: you know threatening that spot.

17:14.032 --> 17:15.052
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's getting there.

17:15.673 --> 17:29.135
[SPEAKER_02]: And one thing I do want to say is that like I'm glad if that report is true that the pitching staff kind of sat Andrew Bailey down and said we're tired of pitching backwards and we want to throw more fast balls and you know throw it through our our stuff.

17:29.855 --> 17:32.276
[SPEAKER_02]: If that's true good on them because it is working.

17:32.376 --> 17:34.836
[SPEAKER_02]: G. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E. E.

17:40.157 --> 17:43.059
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, Walker Bior can't figure him out, but that's kind of his own problem.

17:43.499 --> 17:44.800
[SPEAKER_02]: But the pitching is just good.

17:45.121 --> 17:47.762
[SPEAKER_02]: It's been so much better ever since that report came out.

17:48.263 --> 17:54.027
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I think that they sort of, you know, say, Andrew Bailey down said, look, your philosophy isn't working.

17:54.347 --> 17:56.429
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, you know, we, we need to throw more fastballs.

17:57.389 --> 17:58.770
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't pitch backwards anymore.

17:59.231 --> 18:01.752
[SPEAKER_02]: And ever since then, they've had one of the best rotations in baseball.

18:01.792 --> 18:06.556
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, Lucas Gilito's been a huge, huge part of that.

18:07.096 --> 18:07.777
[SPEAKER_02]: I think right now,

18:08.437 --> 18:13.878
[SPEAKER_02]: If we were starting a playoff series, I would want it to be crochet, gelito, bail.

18:14.478 --> 18:15.878
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's the order I'd want to go in.

18:16.158 --> 18:17.879
[SPEAKER_02]: I think gelito was at that point right now.

18:18.599 --> 18:22.079
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got to take on this, but let me just point out real quick in case I forget.

18:22.219 --> 18:31.901
[SPEAKER_01]: The hitting program also had a, you know, they had a hard pivot where they don't meet as a group anymore.

18:31.961 --> 18:33.421
[SPEAKER_01]: They meet individually.

18:33.661 --> 18:35.862
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know if it's patsy.

18:36.362 --> 18:37.242
[SPEAKER_01]: Patsy, excuse me.

18:38.182 --> 18:50.129
[SPEAKER_01]: or, you know, some of his assistants, I think we have two assistant hidden coaches, but they all meet with the hitters individually, and that was a turning point for that aspect of the team as well in early June.

18:50.750 --> 18:57.814
[SPEAKER_01]: But getting back to who your number two is, it is one thousand percent hands down Lucas Tielito.

18:57.914 --> 18:59.395
[SPEAKER_01]: That dude shoves.

19:00.275 --> 19:13.568
[SPEAKER_01]: Just this morning I was looking at Bayo's save on chart and I didn't all admit I did not see yesterday's game because I've been busy with family stuff, but he is living.

19:14.738 --> 19:20.304
[SPEAKER_01]: entirely off of ground balls in wheat contact.

19:20.604 --> 19:22.766
[SPEAKER_01]: He is elite in those two categories.

19:23.067 --> 19:25.209
[SPEAKER_01]: He is not elite when it comes to strikeouts.

19:25.249 --> 19:28.973
[SPEAKER_01]: He has a below league average strikeout per nine of six point eight.

19:29.333 --> 19:31.195
[SPEAKER_01]: I think seven and a half is league average.

19:31.235 --> 19:33.557
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's not like way below it, but he is below it.

19:34.738 --> 19:39.320
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, you know, weak, weak contact.

19:39.600 --> 19:44.882
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't get the strikeouts and he doesn't get a lot of chase.

19:45.623 --> 19:50.645
[SPEAKER_01]: So I hope we can ride this out for the rest of the season.

19:51.805 --> 19:56.407
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know if that's like something he's going to be every year.

19:56.427 --> 20:02.770
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like if the league adjusts just a little bit, you might see an ugly

20:03.910 --> 20:15.161
[SPEAKER_01]: four or five start window here until he can read just but I was really surprised to see how how reliant he's been on on the ground ball rate.

20:15.261 --> 20:24.730
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's like in the eighty six percentile of all MLB starters and and then his exit velocity is similar.

20:25.290 --> 20:26.692
[SPEAKER_01]: They're just not hitting him hard.

20:27.910 --> 20:29.512
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was surprised to see that too.

20:29.792 --> 20:48.791
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, Bayos, one of those curious cases where I feel like on paper, when you look at his pitches, his arsenal, you think that guy should be like a big k-pitcher, you know, lot of stuff get guys out, swing and miss, but over his years in the league, that hasn't really been the case.

20:49.512 --> 20:52.274
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I feel like there was a bit of a shift in philosophy.

20:52.374 --> 20:54.315
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that this year he started throwing a cutter.

20:54.375 --> 20:57.136
[SPEAKER_03]: He's been introducing that into the mix, excuse me.

20:57.617 --> 21:03.500
[SPEAKER_03]: And with that, I think that he started to induce that weak contact yesterday.

21:03.860 --> 21:08.643
[SPEAKER_03]: It almost felt like he was nibbling around the zone like he's he does certainly.

21:09.643 --> 21:11.024
[SPEAKER_03]: and trying to get swing and misses.

21:11.605 --> 21:13.287
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not really who Brian Beowitz.

21:14.087 --> 21:20.373
[SPEAKER_03]: If he becomes the type of pitcher where he's going to jam you up, he's going to induce weak ground balls.

21:20.914 --> 21:23.176
[SPEAKER_03]: Our infield right now is far and away.

21:23.496 --> 21:25.719
[SPEAKER_03]: Good enough to capitalize on something like that.

21:26.259 --> 21:32.545
[SPEAKER_03]: So fingers crossed that, you know, like you said, adjustments can be made either way, but I have a lot of hope for him.

21:32.585 --> 21:41.633
[SPEAKER_03]: I would say I think that this is a bit of a reinvention for him and he's getting to a point now where I think he's emerging as what he was always sort of supposed to be.

21:43.435 --> 21:50.241
[SPEAKER_01]: So another interesting, uh, stat, I mean, it's not I wouldn't say it's extremely meaningful, but surprising.

21:51.437 --> 22:05.712
[SPEAKER_01]: he's given up the exact same number of home runs as Garrett crochet they've both given up twelve home runs on the years so just another example of you know opposing hitters not hitting him hard

22:07.951 --> 22:20.514
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and you know, if you can really master that that sinker of his and kind of turn into what a lot of pictures described as having like a bowling ball type of sinker like it's just that heavy on the enter that you know, they go choice but to pound it into the dirt.

22:21.054 --> 22:21.774
[SPEAKER_02]: They can't lift it.

22:22.215 --> 22:22.855
[SPEAKER_02]: Then that's fine.

22:22.875 --> 22:26.376
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't need bail to be a ten strikeout per game kind of guy.

22:26.816 --> 22:30.557
[SPEAKER_02]: If he keeps the ball on the ballpark and goes, you know, six seven endings every time.

22:30.997 --> 22:33.277
[SPEAKER_02]: And he only manages strikeout four or five guys.

22:33.377 --> 22:33.977
[SPEAKER_02]: That's okay.

22:34.418 --> 22:35.578
[SPEAKER_02]: You'll take that any day.

22:36.138 --> 22:43.945
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, and you know what, like maybe he does develop a little bit more, maybe he finds a little bit more of an outpitch for him, you know, maybe if that change of his who knows.

22:44.585 --> 22:48.088
[SPEAKER_02]: And he can develop the strike out a little bit more, but you know, he's only twenty four.

22:48.629 --> 22:50.150
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's got plenty of time to work on it.

22:50.430 --> 22:56.616
[SPEAKER_02]: And the fact that he's having the best season so far of his career, you know, in the second half, I think it's going to be even better.

22:57.116 --> 23:07.339
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, maybe that strikeout rate goes up a little bit, but at the end of the day, he keeps runs off the board and he's starting to pitch deeper into games, which is something that he definitely struggled with.

23:08.240 --> 23:10.020
[SPEAKER_02]: Not just last year, but early this season.

23:10.060 --> 23:13.761
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he beat up to like, sixty pitches through two winnings and go out cheese.

23:14.282 --> 23:17.443
[SPEAKER_02]: Here comes another bullpen game like, now he's much more efficient.

23:17.723 --> 23:21.424
[SPEAKER_02]: He's getting through with stars more efficiently and he's going deeper and that's huge.

23:23.531 --> 23:27.938
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and if I recall correctly last year, he was also kind of a second half pitcher.

23:28.078 --> 23:30.261
[SPEAKER_03]: I think his numbers improved post all star break.

23:31.022 --> 23:32.805
[SPEAKER_03]: So I mean, it's funny.

23:32.885 --> 23:38.293
[SPEAKER_03]: The Red Sox are really playing their best baseball of the year right now when it matters most.

23:39.309 --> 23:50.363
[SPEAKER_03]: Red Hot in July after a pitiful May, you know, a solidifying June or a scorching July so far, just nonstop August that's been wonderful.

23:51.164 --> 23:56.131
[SPEAKER_03]: We seem to be getting a few things that seem to go against us in the early season.

23:56.171 --> 23:56.912
[SPEAKER_03]: Go for us now.

23:57.602 --> 24:05.026
[SPEAKER_03]: So for example, there was that one play, I forget which inning it was, but there was a hit ball out in the right field.

24:05.226 --> 24:26.877
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was during one of our big rallies, and Grichick was running in on the ball, and Jonathan India for some reason, I think he thought he was playing wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, because the second baseman for the Royals was running way out into right field, looking over his shoulder, trying to make a play on a baseball, that Randall Grichick was charging towards, and it managed to find the whole,

24:27.477 --> 24:30.879
[SPEAKER_03]: right between them, just the perfect spot between their gloves.

24:31.600 --> 24:34.602
[SPEAKER_03]: And funnily enough, I think of India didn't try to do that.

24:34.682 --> 24:36.743
[SPEAKER_03]: Grichick, at least would've had a shot at the ball.

24:37.124 --> 24:39.225
[SPEAKER_03]: It looked like his vision was probably obscure.

24:39.886 --> 24:41.327
[SPEAKER_03]: Very, very funny to see.

24:41.607 --> 24:47.471
[SPEAKER_03]: And I mean, very good because this team was not hitting Ryan Burger very well at all.

24:47.971 --> 24:50.813
[SPEAKER_03]: That dude was nasty to be honest.

24:50.853 --> 24:55.957
[SPEAKER_03]: He came in with funnily enough, a twelve point one percent walk rate.

24:56.917 --> 25:03.104
[SPEAKER_03]: which is just about bottom of the league and despite that, he threw sixty one strikes on eighty five pitches.

25:03.304 --> 25:04.446
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, incredibly efficient.

25:04.846 --> 25:08.931
[SPEAKER_03]: What Ryan Burger is known for so far is inducing weak contact.

25:08.951 --> 25:11.954
[SPEAKER_03]: And there were a few of those where our guys hit the ball.

25:12.114 --> 25:14.297
[SPEAKER_03]: I think David Hamilton hit one to center field, right?

25:15.055 --> 25:17.938
[SPEAKER_03]: where you're like, oh, that sounded gone.

25:18.058 --> 25:20.320
[SPEAKER_03]: And then it just sort of flops into someone's glove.

25:20.900 --> 25:28.167
[SPEAKER_03]: Then pulling him after eighty five pitches and who was, yeah, was Zerpa on Hell Zerpa came out after that.

25:28.648 --> 25:29.749
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we shell that dude.

25:30.089 --> 25:31.911
[SPEAKER_03]: And then poor Shriver got the rest.

25:31.971 --> 25:34.273
[SPEAKER_03]: And I mean, that was all she wrote after that.

25:36.030 --> 25:46.119
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's always nice when you're facing teams that are making the stupid mistakes that you used to make in April and May when the team is just chucking the ball around the field and look like they didn't know how to play baseball.

25:47.100 --> 25:48.501
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, that's going to happen.

25:48.661 --> 25:51.204
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, now this Red Sox team feels like they finally

25:51.764 --> 25:56.247
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, whatever jitters they had in April and May, like they've kind of figured that out.

25:56.647 --> 25:58.148
[SPEAKER_02]: Guys, it's starting to play a lot better.

25:58.188 --> 25:59.249
[SPEAKER_02]: They're playing a lot smarter.

25:59.329 --> 26:02.111
[SPEAKER_02]: I think getting Alex pregnant back has helped that a lot.

26:02.151 --> 26:08.175
[SPEAKER_02]: I know we had never tonight, but he has stabilized their defense tremendously, getting Marcelo Meyer up here for a little bit.

26:08.615 --> 26:09.416
[SPEAKER_02]: That helped as well.

26:09.876 --> 26:17.181
[SPEAKER_02]: Trevor Story having the season he's having where now and I saw someone in the chat bringing up like, now you kind of have to look at his contracts like,

26:17.741 --> 26:18.662
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, is he going to opt out?

26:19.162 --> 26:21.905
[SPEAKER_02]: Cause like he if he keeps going, he might.

26:21.925 --> 26:24.227
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, if he thinks he can make more money.

26:24.267 --> 26:26.829
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what that his age of if anyone would.

26:27.369 --> 26:33.074
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it's nice to see them, you know, taking advantage of other teams, stupid mistakes.

26:33.535 --> 26:33.915
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.

26:33.975 --> 26:37.158
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm pulling burger after, you know, just eighty five pitches makes

26:37.698 --> 26:38.438
[SPEAKER_02]: No sense to me.

26:38.699 --> 26:39.899
[SPEAKER_02]: He felt like he was cruising.

26:39.979 --> 26:49.023
[SPEAKER_02]: And once again, that feels like another Cole Reagan's type of trade for Kansas City, like they just plucked some guy that, you know, no one really knew about San Diego didn't want him.

26:49.264 --> 26:51.965
[SPEAKER_02]: They gave up their backup catcher, Freddie for me and for him.

26:52.425 --> 26:54.246
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's a twenty-five-year-old stud.

26:54.306 --> 26:57.087
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks like like, looks like they identified another pitcher.

26:57.347 --> 26:59.949
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't see he's been really good at that last couple of years.

27:00.749 --> 27:05.493
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I mean, that you're getting offensive contributions from guys you weren't expecting.

27:05.593 --> 27:12.038
[SPEAKER_02]: Guys like Trevor Story, Sharon Duran has started to really heat up here, which has been a big catalyst for their offense as well.

27:12.919 --> 27:19.364
[SPEAKER_02]: Connor Wong's even starting to get some hits off the bench, like it's just everything that can go right is going right.

27:19.604 --> 27:23.647
[SPEAKER_02]: And when it is like that, you just have to ride the wave momentum, right?

27:23.707 --> 27:26.729
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, just keep going out there playing smart baseball and

27:27.570 --> 27:30.573
[SPEAKER_02]: Who knows, maybe the other team makes a dumb mistake and you can take advantage of it.

27:30.974 --> 27:32.495
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that was a big part of the win tonight.

27:32.635 --> 27:46.629
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, just keep riding that wave because again, compared to what they were how they were playing in April and May, this is starting to look like a real legit playoff team and, you know, they're going to need that going forward.

27:48.551 --> 27:50.333
[SPEAKER_01]: On Hell, Serpa has

27:51.597 --> 28:05.637
[SPEAKER_01]: And this was before tonight's an eighteen point six nine ERA coming into tonight has given up nine runs and four and one third innings and then add whatever happened tonight so.

28:07.019 --> 28:07.319
[SPEAKER_01]: You know.

28:08.887 --> 28:15.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Matt Quattraero has obviously done a very good job with that Royal's team getting them back into contention.

28:15.270 --> 28:17.270
[SPEAKER_01]: They are a couple games under five hundred.

28:17.290 --> 28:19.771
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't write them off completely yet.

28:20.612 --> 28:23.253
[SPEAKER_01]: This league is not good.

28:24.591 --> 28:31.857
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, that's probably why we're we're thriving in a way that's kind of been unforeseen.

28:31.877 --> 28:35.340
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you trade rapid devours and you go on this disgusting run.

28:36.060 --> 28:37.761
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's that's part of it.

28:38.122 --> 28:40.684
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to go on my rant on what I think's going on.

28:40.724 --> 28:45.768
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I don't think seven games into a win streak is the night for that.

28:45.908 --> 28:47.149
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I will say is

28:49.788 --> 28:52.090
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have a lot of weak teams coming up.

28:52.390 --> 29:03.958
[SPEAKER_01]: I think in late August, early September, teams that sold off at the deadline, a couple of those, the Orioles, the Diamondbacks are one of them.

29:03.978 --> 29:09.241
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have the Marlins in there, even though they have been playing decent baseball as of late.

29:09.381 --> 29:18.547
[SPEAKER_01]: But suddenly, now that we've gotten past the fillies, the Dodgers and the Cubs, the schedule is a bit more favorable.

29:19.856 --> 29:24.018
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to imagine this will not be a playoff team.

29:24.038 --> 29:31.821
[SPEAKER_01]: And then if they're not, if the sky does fall, I don't think it will because I just think we're, you know, the rotation so good.

29:32.681 --> 29:42.805
[SPEAKER_01]: The bullpen is really good, you know, especially, I mean, I'm annoyed with the mats pick up because we did have more pressing needs, but he is going to be

29:44.504 --> 29:52.251
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I don't know if he's going to be utilized in the eighth inning at all, but he's going to be a very good, reliable arm out of that pen.

29:53.391 --> 29:54.552
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see.

29:54.733 --> 30:00.197
[SPEAKER_01]: But I just think we're too good in too many different areas to miss the postseason.

30:00.217 --> 30:01.799
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

30:01.879 --> 30:03.840
[SPEAKER_03]: And we're playing our best baseball when it counts.

30:04.321 --> 30:09.505
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, right now, fan graphs has us at an eighty two almost percent chance to make the playoffs.

30:10.266 --> 30:12.988
[SPEAKER_03]: Baseball reference actually has us at ninety one percent.

30:13.759 --> 30:14.499
[SPEAKER_03]: Really, really good.

30:14.640 --> 30:19.342
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, you could not have asked the Yankees to tailspin at a better time for us.

30:20.523 --> 30:21.944
[SPEAKER_03]: As of right now, they're playing right now.

30:21.984 --> 30:25.306
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they're zero and zero last time I checked just a few moments ago.

30:26.296 --> 30:33.104
[SPEAKER_03]: But I believe we're three up on the wild card really makes you feel secure as secure as you can feel in baseball.

30:33.684 --> 30:36.948
[SPEAKER_03]: And I don't think the division is entirely off the table.

30:37.048 --> 30:40.772
[SPEAKER_03]: We will see what the blue jays can do after Colorado.

30:40.792 --> 30:42.173
[SPEAKER_03]: They're beating up on them right now.

30:42.233 --> 30:42.914
[SPEAKER_03]: They took game one.

30:42.954 --> 30:44.256
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, they'll probably take game two.

30:45.312 --> 30:58.120
[SPEAKER_03]: But you know what's interesting is I was looking and thinking really, which is hard for me, but you know, the twenty twenty five red socks, they almost are reminding me a little bit of the twenty nineteen nationals.

30:59.241 --> 31:08.407
[SPEAKER_03]: Just in the sense that the nationals, you go back to that world series team and they had a pretty underwhelming April and a terrible terrible May.

31:09.187 --> 31:10.508
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they got hot.

31:10.588 --> 31:12.029
[SPEAKER_03]: They went red hot in June.

31:12.889 --> 31:17.363
[SPEAKER_03]: really good in July, Red Hot again in August, really great in September.

31:17.664 --> 31:20.352
[SPEAKER_03]: And they carried that momentum all the way to a World Series championship.

31:21.427 --> 31:30.270
[SPEAKER_03]: If the red socks continue this August push and then carry that momentum into September, who's to say it won't carry into October to?

31:30.871 --> 31:33.752
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, baseball, reference, I don't know how they calculate this.

31:34.052 --> 31:37.393
[SPEAKER_03]: They say we have an eight point nine percent chance to win the world series.

31:37.673 --> 31:46.036
[SPEAKER_03]: That seems pretty high to me to give any team really, but that's that's pretty good odds as far as that kind of thing goes.

31:46.116 --> 31:50.658
[SPEAKER_03]: I would certainly not be disappointed if I heard that that was my chance to win at all.

31:52.665 --> 31:56.407
[SPEAKER_01]: Just looking through the American League right now, I mean, who are we afraid of?

31:56.948 --> 32:05.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Toronto has played very well against us this season, so I don't think we should annoy ourselves as heavy favorites against them.

32:06.633 --> 32:07.474
[SPEAKER_01]: Did we sweep that?

32:07.634 --> 32:09.675
[SPEAKER_01]: No, we got swept against the Tigers.

32:09.715 --> 32:10.916
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's how that went.

32:11.056 --> 32:13.838
[SPEAKER_01]: So I guess until proven otherwise,

32:15.673 --> 32:22.655
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you have to consider them a threat, but they haven't been great since the All Star Break.

32:23.635 --> 32:25.296
[SPEAKER_01]: They did lose a level out of twelve.

32:25.356 --> 32:27.716
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess they have one six of their last ten.

32:27.736 --> 32:36.579
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I'm going to keep the Mariners in the fraud category until they can prove otherwise.

32:38.185 --> 32:42.126
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to have another go at Houston here in Houston, so we'll see.

32:42.707 --> 32:54.131
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be shocked if we sweep on the second time, but you know, that's a team that knows how to win in October and they do have Carlos Correa back, so perhaps he'll have a big month.

32:55.381 --> 33:01.866
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Texas Rangers are a team that would make me nervous in a playoff matchup.

33:01.906 --> 33:02.926
[SPEAKER_01]: They have good pitching.

33:02.986 --> 33:15.295
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got some guys that can match, not sure how their bullpen is, but yeah, so I would say of teams were afraid of, I would say Detroit in both Texas teams.

33:17.922 --> 33:25.086
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I agree with you about Detroit Detroit definitely has that that vibe bottom of like they've arrived.

33:25.366 --> 33:32.150
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they they had a really good year last year and you know, they're a young team and they kind of made into the wild card made a little bit of noise there.

33:33.011 --> 33:35.112
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think we all agree they weren't ready yet.

33:35.652 --> 33:37.333
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like now they're ready.

33:37.534 --> 33:39.435
[SPEAKER_02]: They're they're here and they're a real force.

33:40.055 --> 33:41.576
[SPEAKER_02]: So Detroit would worry me a little bit.

33:41.696 --> 33:46.319
[SPEAKER_02]: Toronto does worry me in terms of trying to snack the division from them.

33:46.499 --> 33:49.381
[SPEAKER_02]: They've just had guys like resurrect themselves.

33:50.121 --> 33:53.123
[SPEAKER_02]: Like George Springer looks like vintage George Springer.

33:53.583 --> 33:59.067
[SPEAKER_02]: Boba Shet after having a really down year last year is back to looking like more of the best young hitters in the game.

33:59.627 --> 34:01.228
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, Flatties doing his thing.

34:02.029 --> 34:03.750
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't have a weak spot in their lineup.

34:04.210 --> 34:08.712
[SPEAKER_02]: They've got a really difficult line up to go up against and their rotation is holding together.

34:08.752 --> 34:10.252
[SPEAKER_02]: They got shirts are back finally.

34:10.712 --> 34:18.075
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been you know up and down, plus couple of starts, but if he's healthy, I wouldn't want to face Max Scherzer in a big game.

34:18.375 --> 34:19.275
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, not right now.

34:20.155 --> 34:22.576
[SPEAKER_02]: Kevin Galsman's kind of right at the ship as well over there.

34:22.696 --> 34:26.638
[SPEAKER_02]: So they've got some good pieces and they've got a strong bullpen to go along with it.

34:26.778 --> 34:26.918
[SPEAKER_02]: So

34:27.558 --> 34:29.899
[SPEAKER_02]: Toronto would worry me, Texas would worry me.

34:30.560 --> 34:34.221
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not as worried about Houston, not until they get your dawn back.

34:34.742 --> 34:44.047
[SPEAKER_02]: If your dawn feels like he's having a setback every week, if he's still not fully healthy, I wouldn't worry too much about them.

34:44.227 --> 34:47.468
[SPEAKER_02]: I think their rotation is okay, but it's not great.

34:49.029 --> 34:52.492
[SPEAKER_02]: So Houston, I think we kind of show that we can take care of them.

34:53.252 --> 34:55.454
[SPEAKER_02]: Right now, to me, it's Detroit and it's Toronto.

34:56.114 --> 35:01.619
[SPEAKER_02]: And Texas as well, like those are the three that I would say, okay, like, for matchup against them, I'd worry a little bit.

35:01.739 --> 35:04.621
[SPEAKER_02]: But otherwise, I mean, the American League is just such trash.

35:05.782 --> 35:08.544
[SPEAKER_02]: The Yankees, you know, I think they're starting to go backwards.

35:09.104 --> 35:12.147
[SPEAKER_02]: And a lot of that's going to depend on Judge with this elbow thing.

35:12.207 --> 35:13.868
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I know he's teaching tonight.

35:15.489 --> 35:24.216
[SPEAKER_02]: If he has a DH prominently, that's going to be a problem for them because then you've got to have Stanton out in the Alfield trying to make plays, which is a disaster waiting to happen.

35:25.137 --> 35:26.538
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm not worried about them.

35:26.839 --> 35:30.742
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say Toronto Detroit Texas, those are the ones you're going to watch for.

35:30.842 --> 35:36.847
[SPEAKER_02]: But the way this Red Sox team is playing, I'm not going to be totally terrified of any of them.

35:36.907 --> 35:38.128
[SPEAKER_02]: I just would be, you know,

35:39.969 --> 35:45.772
[SPEAKER_02]: Lowercase W worried if we had to face any of them, but the way the steam's going, I think they can take on anybody.

35:46.712 --> 35:47.153
[SPEAKER_03]: Definitely.

35:47.573 --> 35:48.993
[SPEAKER_03]: The Rangers, I agree with you.

35:49.094 --> 35:51.194
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that those are three good teams.

35:51.234 --> 35:54.816
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think my, my fears would probably line up with yours pretty well.

35:55.236 --> 36:01.839
[SPEAKER_03]: That Rangers rotation, now that they have added Merrill Kelly to DeGrom and Eavaldi, that is a terrifying hydra.

36:02.039 --> 36:03.260
[SPEAKER_03]: That is a vicious trio.

36:03.860 --> 36:07.623
[SPEAKER_03]: of starters to go up against, they've got a really feisty offense.

36:07.703 --> 36:11.066
[SPEAKER_03]: I know the blue jays meanwhile are just devil magic.

36:11.226 --> 36:17.712
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I cannot understand how they keep winning games, but they keep winning games and you've got to respect a team that can figure that out.

36:18.052 --> 36:21.775
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe their frauds, we won't be able to say until October, really.

36:24.647 --> 36:28.228
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm at a point where like, I'm not taking any wins for granted.

36:28.508 --> 36:33.169
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe I'm just a little traumatized after the last four years, but I'm sort of waiting for the shoe to drop.

36:33.349 --> 36:34.030
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what I mean?

36:34.070 --> 36:36.450
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, when does this illusion shatter?

36:36.890 --> 36:38.151
[SPEAKER_03]: When's the slump gonna come?

36:38.191 --> 36:39.611
[SPEAKER_03]: When is my heart gonna be broken?

36:40.351 --> 36:50.074
[SPEAKER_03]: Because this is, by far, the most hope I've had this late in a season since, twenty twenty one and maybe even since, twenty eighteen.

36:51.418 --> 36:53.281
[SPEAKER_03]: Even twenty twenty one was kind of a surprise.

36:53.301 --> 36:57.566
[SPEAKER_03]: We were in a race until the end and then once we got to October, we made a lot of noise.

36:58.467 --> 37:05.736
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I mean, Toronto has been playing this tough Detroit obviously swept us on the little worried about like the three games.

37:06.675 --> 37:12.436
[SPEAKER_03]: In San Diego versus the Padres, I know that Nick Pvedas pitch profile, he pitches really well in that park.

37:13.237 --> 37:17.017
[SPEAKER_03]: Houston and the Yankees, we have ten games against seven against the Yankees.

37:17.157 --> 37:20.378
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm just nervous about them because of how badly we beat them up.

37:20.898 --> 37:27.920
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm almost like thinking to myself, or those two teams going to let that happen again, you know they're going to play you tough.

37:28.580 --> 37:35.942
[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, fortunately, we won't see them in the postseason, but in the regular season, I mean, we got three games against the Marlins who are arguably just as hot as us.

37:36.782 --> 37:42.566
[SPEAKER_03]: So just like I mentioned last night, lots of challenges add, hopefully lots of fun baseball ahead.

37:43.947 --> 37:51.652
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm afraid of a lot of teams, but only in the same capacity that they should be afraid of us, you know, really great rosters and a lot of fun.

37:54.341 --> 38:22.434
[SPEAKER_01]: the blue jays a couple guys you didn't mention that of kind of recently popped onto my radar addison barger has hit seventeen home runs driven in fifty four he's hitting two sixty three with a three sixteen on base he kind of punished us pretty good uh... i wasn't familiar with him coming into the season but he he's having a breakout another guy i was not familiar with at all or any comment

38:23.634 --> 38:50.729
[SPEAKER_01]: his power numbers aren't gonna pop off when you're checking his stats but he is a two eighty six hitter with a three twenty two on base he's scored fifty seven runs and you know a guy that kind of was a pain for us earlier in the year and then you mentioned all the guys that you already have you know Vladimir springer

38:51.670 --> 38:54.011
[SPEAKER_01]: But shit, that Nathan Luke's guy.

38:54.151 --> 38:55.291
[SPEAKER_01]: I was looking at him.

38:55.311 --> 38:57.592
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's their right fielder.

38:57.612 --> 39:01.553
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, ten home runs, forty five driven in.

39:01.693 --> 39:05.714
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a two fifty nine hitter with a three forty eight on base.

39:06.034 --> 39:08.134
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a team that gets on base.

39:08.514 --> 39:12.796
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is what they haven't been previously.

39:13.776 --> 39:17.937
[SPEAKER_01]: And I keep saying, I'm not going to, I'm not going to go on the rant, but

39:19.267 --> 39:24.871
[SPEAKER_01]: the super abbreviated thing when you talk about the illusion when you're waiting for the illusion to end.

39:26.012 --> 39:36.540
[SPEAKER_01]: Twenty twenty one was an illusion and you paid for that for the next three years because this ownership and front office was dumb enough to think that was real life.

39:38.044 --> 39:43.393
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, maybe, you know, maybe this won't be exactly that.

39:43.513 --> 39:48.781
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe your kids will thrive, you know, Anthony wasn't even in the lineup tonight.

39:49.443 --> 39:50.745
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you put up six runs.

39:51.650 --> 40:01.632
[SPEAKER_01]: but Raphaella, just career year, Doran and Brayue, for as long as they're here, they're gonna be good at least situationally.

40:02.532 --> 40:13.154
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, we'll see, but I just hope that, you know, we've all been craving for those, you know, two thousand four to twenty eighteen lineups.

40:13.454 --> 40:16.714
[SPEAKER_01]: I just hope that that era isn't over, because maybe it is.

40:17.315 --> 40:19.455
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we're just never gonna see that again.

40:20.767 --> 40:22.029
[SPEAKER_01]: And I hope not, but we'll see.

40:26.550 --> 40:33.053
[SPEAKER_02]: And another thing to keep in mind is, you know, if you don't get the division, you know, obviously would be great.

40:33.553 --> 40:40.556
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you hang on to that first wildcard, you would have home field advantage for all three games of whatever wildcard matchup you have.

40:40.736 --> 40:44.117
[SPEAKER_02]: And the red socks have turned Fenway into a real home field advantage.

40:44.157 --> 40:46.998
[SPEAKER_02]: They are starting to play really good baseball at Fenway.

40:47.018 --> 40:48.919
[SPEAKER_02]: I think like, forget what the date was.

40:49.019 --> 40:54.181
[SPEAKER_02]: But since a certain date, when they were five hundred at Fenway, there were sixteen and sixteen,

40:54.781 --> 40:59.167
[SPEAKER_02]: And then after that game, they are now twenty two and five at Fenway.

40:59.668 --> 41:08.620
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, if you only end up with the first wild card, that's okay, because you'll have home field advantage for all three of those games, and that can make it a lot easier on them.

41:10.162 --> 41:10.823
[SPEAKER_03]: Most definitely.

41:11.854 --> 41:16.440
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I think that we'll see a lot from this bullpen, obviously.

41:16.740 --> 41:24.349
[SPEAKER_03]: Funnily enough, we saw John Shriver, old friend John Shriver, who unfortunately just had a terrible game against us, sorry to say for his say.

41:24.930 --> 41:28.494
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's funny because I was like, hold on, who did we get in that trade?

41:28.534 --> 41:30.256
[SPEAKER_03]: And I liked and sure enough, it's David Sandlin.

41:30.872 --> 41:37.236
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, who we are now hearing is up in Worcester, pitching out of the pen, trying to stretch himself into a reliever.

41:37.716 --> 41:44.441
[SPEAKER_03]: He could be in play, slighten coming out, like we said, a guy like May or Mueller figuring things out.

41:44.921 --> 41:53.627
[SPEAKER_03]: One thing that I think is going to be important is of course, the guys who can go long and interestingly enough, I don't think Whitlock has tried to go more than one inning since June.

41:54.127 --> 41:58.390
[SPEAKER_03]: So right now Murphy and Matt are the two in the pen that we have to hopefully lengthen it out.

41:59.205 --> 42:03.390
[SPEAKER_03]: With both Mueller and May in the rotation, we'll see how much that's necessary.

42:03.410 --> 42:05.692
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll call, of course, was just DFA.

42:05.732 --> 42:07.795
[SPEAKER_03]: We have Isaiah Campbell up on the team.

42:08.854 --> 42:29.442
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's take a look, however, at the probable pitching matchup for tomorrow, speaking of Dustin May, he will be playing a seven, ten PM Eastern daylight time at start versus another old friend in Michael Waka, who several years ago came to us kind of reinvented himself and has had a lot of success since then.

42:30.603 --> 42:36.448
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, before you guys, you know, before I ask you your predictions and whatnot, I mean, this guy's been pitching very well.

42:36.828 --> 42:38.770
[SPEAKER_03]: I was curious, I took a look.

42:38.990 --> 42:45.396
[SPEAKER_03]: You look at his home in a way splits and he's not been very good on the road compared to at home for the Royals.

42:45.916 --> 42:51.721
[SPEAKER_03]: But when you look at the twelve starts that he has made in Fenway, he has a two point eight eight ERA in the park.

42:52.161 --> 42:57.185
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm expecting him to pitch us pretty hard personally.

42:58.166 --> 42:58.827
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you guys think?

43:00.765 --> 43:01.845
[SPEAKER_02]: He's familiar with Fenway.

43:02.085 --> 43:03.746
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, that's going to serve him pretty well.

43:03.846 --> 43:07.487
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have no idea what you're going to get out of dust in May.

43:07.867 --> 43:09.607
[SPEAKER_02]: He could be steady.

43:09.667 --> 43:13.909
[SPEAKER_02]: You could be, you know, six innings of, you know, only allows two or three runs.

43:13.989 --> 43:15.109
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, this can't study line.

43:15.149 --> 43:17.630
[SPEAKER_02]: It was not exactly a powerhouse.

43:17.650 --> 43:21.511
[SPEAKER_02]: They can manufacture offense, but you know, there are ways to beat them.

43:22.451 --> 43:27.775
[SPEAKER_02]: He might also be done by like the third inning and you know, just be a complete wild man, complete disaster.

43:28.195 --> 43:32.859
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, if the Dodgers don't want a guy, that's a massive red flag.

43:33.039 --> 43:38.263
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's not a guy that you should be pursuing in any sort of trade or anything like that.

43:38.363 --> 43:41.245
[SPEAKER_02]: So the fact of the Dodgers said, no thanks were good.

43:41.305 --> 43:43.827
[SPEAKER_02]: You can have him is a major red flag to me.

43:43.907 --> 43:47.590
[SPEAKER_02]: So for that reason alone, I don't feel very confident.

43:47.670 --> 43:49.472
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Walker is going to pitch a pretty good game.

43:50.152 --> 43:53.493
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think Dustin May, it might be a disaster.

43:53.593 --> 44:05.197
[SPEAKER_02]: So good thing they won the first two games, you'd like to win tomorrow, but if May just, you know, pukes on his cleats, then at least you took the first two games and, you know, we'll see if we can figure him out later.

44:06.378 --> 44:07.518
[SPEAKER_01]: So is that a lost Jason?

44:07.538 --> 44:09.179
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lost.

44:09.439 --> 44:10.079
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lost.

44:10.379 --> 44:10.919
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

44:11.679 --> 44:11.919
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

44:12.260 --> 44:13.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm not going to do it.

44:13.960 --> 44:18.981
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, if if this was only a two game winning streak, I'm picking Michael Walker all day.

44:19.001 --> 44:20.562
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why it's on Sunday.

44:21.342 --> 44:22.862
[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't know.

44:23.203 --> 44:29.764
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll ride the the streak here and give the red socks the W and you know, you talk about the bullpen.

44:29.784 --> 44:32.165
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go besides Isaiah Campbell.

44:33.459 --> 44:34.380
[SPEAKER_01]: Who do you not trust?

44:35.541 --> 44:45.531
[SPEAKER_01]: I trust them all, you know, and for some reason we had to send Bernadino down, who was eleven straight games scoreless, not got enough to pitch on the big club apparently.

44:46.833 --> 44:49.275
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, the bullpen's just solid.

44:49.355 --> 44:53.579
[SPEAKER_01]: So if Mike and just grind his way, even through four innings, I think they can

44:54.340 --> 44:59.263
[SPEAKER_01]: They can patch work it and I think this Red Sox offense is potent enough.

44:59.424 --> 45:01.485
[SPEAKER_01]: But you lose tomorrow.

45:01.565 --> 45:02.586
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying we will.

45:02.666 --> 45:04.647
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm picking the Red Sox, but you lose tomorrow.

45:04.707 --> 45:10.771
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a good way to fly out west to a very dangerous San Francisco team.

45:11.992 --> 45:12.192
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope.

45:12.212 --> 45:12.613
[SPEAKER_01]: Excuse me.

45:12.673 --> 45:13.433
[SPEAKER_01]: San Diego.

45:13.573 --> 45:13.974
[SPEAKER_01]: My bad.

45:15.174 --> 45:18.997
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we'll see what happens.

45:19.157 --> 45:23.260
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think I think we can win and keep the streak intact.

45:24.161 --> 45:24.761
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope so.

45:24.901 --> 45:27.703
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we saw tonight, fortunately, thanks to crochet.

45:28.183 --> 45:29.124
[SPEAKER_03]: The pen is rested.

45:29.224 --> 45:30.084
[SPEAKER_03]: You're absolutely right.

45:30.104 --> 45:34.086
[SPEAKER_03]: And with a day off on Thursday to travel, that is very, very nice.

45:34.126 --> 45:36.087
[SPEAKER_03]: I love the airplane celebration, by the way.

45:36.147 --> 45:37.008
[SPEAKER_03]: How great is that?

45:37.148 --> 45:38.649
[SPEAKER_03]: This impromptu thing.

45:38.889 --> 45:41.010
[SPEAKER_03]: That's always been my favorite type of celebration.

45:41.350 --> 45:43.871
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, the ones that just sort of occur naturally.

45:44.392 --> 45:45.452
[SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes what was it?

45:46.133 --> 45:48.054
[SPEAKER_03]: I know the Yankees had a turtle one year.

45:48.234 --> 45:49.574
[SPEAKER_03]: I forget what the story was there.

45:49.594 --> 45:52.316
[SPEAKER_03]: It was like in a pond at one of their players' houses.

45:53.056 --> 45:56.742
[SPEAKER_03]: You had, I think the rally goose for the podries or something like that.

45:57.523 --> 46:06.076
[SPEAKER_03]: I love those natural celebrations and I love how the Red Sox took that turbulent flight out to Minnesota and turned into a little victory routine.

46:08.114 --> 46:10.097
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, I'll be a little pessimistic here.

46:10.137 --> 46:12.219
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll say we'll probably break the streak tomorrow.

46:12.279 --> 46:14.402
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we're going to put up a good good game.

46:15.203 --> 46:20.109
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's not even like, you know, it's not even a negative necessarily.

46:20.129 --> 46:21.031
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to lose games.

46:21.251 --> 46:23.053
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, you go seven and one.

46:23.494 --> 46:25.396
[SPEAKER_03]: That's pretty great over an eight game stretch.

46:26.157 --> 46:30.878
[SPEAKER_03]: Feeling great, honestly, about the roster, just hoping that they keep showing up and grinding out wins.

46:31.658 --> 46:36.279
[SPEAKER_03]: And honestly, based off of what I've seen from them, I can't imagine they would do anything less at this point.

46:36.319 --> 46:37.979
[SPEAKER_03]: This seems like a team that really wants to win.

46:38.520 --> 46:39.120
[SPEAKER_03]: They're mature.

46:39.160 --> 46:39.680
[SPEAKER_03]: They're present.

46:39.700 --> 46:40.420
[SPEAKER_03]: They're having fun.

46:41.360 --> 46:42.240
[SPEAKER_03]: And you know what?

46:42.380 --> 46:43.181
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm having fun, too.

46:44.541 --> 46:45.561
[SPEAKER_03]: Any closing thoughts, guys?

46:48.422 --> 46:49.162
[SPEAKER_01]: Firebreslow.

46:51.653 --> 46:58.015
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, Matt's and, uh, and Meg, that's what we got.

46:58.055 --> 46:59.196
[SPEAKER_03]: So far, Matt's looks good.

46:59.376 --> 47:01.177
[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, like you said, it pushed Bernardino down.

47:01.717 --> 47:03.878
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see what we get out of May tomorrow.

47:04.538 --> 47:08.399
[SPEAKER_03]: I had a friend who said that he wanted to meet up with me this week to watch a Red Sox game.

47:08.439 --> 47:10.280
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, choose which one I said the May start.

47:12.441 --> 47:14.481
[SPEAKER_03]: I said, I have to see how this goes.

47:15.382 --> 47:18.543
[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, we'll see how much he's cursing me for that later on.

47:19.621 --> 47:20.962
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you everyone for listening.

47:21.022 --> 47:23.124
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been a great game, a great discussion.

47:23.624 --> 47:25.206
[SPEAKER_03]: Huge, huge win right now.

47:25.346 --> 47:29.369
[SPEAKER_03]: The Rangers are beating the Yankees to do nothing in the top of the ninth.

47:30.170 --> 47:31.651
[SPEAKER_03]: Devin Williams blew it again for them.

47:31.671 --> 47:33.733
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know why that guy keeps getting opportunities.

47:34.413 --> 47:37.536
[SPEAKER_03]: By the time you're listening to this, it's very likely the results are in.

47:37.596 --> 47:39.518
[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully the Rangers finish it out.

47:40.318 --> 47:42.981
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been Nick joined by Terry and Jason.

47:43.061 --> 47:44.722
[SPEAKER_03]: We've been the bastards of Boston.

47:45.302 --> 47:46.564
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you so much for joining us.

47:46.604 --> 47:46.984
[SPEAKER_03]: Take care.
