[SPEAKER_02]: you're listening to the firebreslow podcast presented by the bastards of Boston baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm your host Charlie Smith.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can find me on twitter slash x at Smith under score MLB.
[SPEAKER_02]: My co-hosts for this one are Terry Cushman at Cushman MLB and my man Jeremy Schilling at JT Schill the thrill 20.
[SPEAKER_02]: minus the thrill part in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Guys, 9 straight series of the Boston Red Sox.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jeremy, it's been a while since I've gotten to say this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am Amped, and I would love to get your temperature check before we start the project.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I'd say I'm like a 7.3.
[SPEAKER_01]: which is really high.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's like you expect them to make the playoffs.
[SPEAKER_01]: You expect them to be able to win that least first series and see where the chips fall.
[SPEAKER_01]: This team is showing resiliency that leads me to believe that there's a
[SPEAKER_01]: no chance they're going to revert back to certainly as bad as they were at the beginning of the season.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if and the same resiliency would dictate that if they do lose a couple or three in a row, they're going to bounce back and write the ship.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're pitching is too good.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're timely hitting.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tonight was a master class of situational hitting, bunting, sack flies,
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, all the things I complained about earlier in the season are not happening.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, they may not be perfect in every situation, but they are winning those situations more than they're not, and as a result, they keep winning.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's honestly incredible.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I have gotten past the point of shock, and now I expect it, I expect it to win this game.
[SPEAKER_02]: Terry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so in the first half of the season, it was the pitching that was giving the offense a chance to win nightly by simply holding the other team to two or three runs.
[SPEAKER_00]: now the the pitching it's not like flaming out but you know i mean it looks a little bit vulnerable you know a lot of guys have a lot of innings uh the two young kids are going to about the blow past their previous highs i don't know what swore as is deal was tonight i mean he's been on the injured list on and off his innings aren't super high but you know this this offense despite
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, kept coming back resiliently relentlessly and, um, you know, they, it took 13 innings, but they, they got the win.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know my temperature check is, but as you can see from my face, I am unable to,
[SPEAKER_02]: whatever it is, sad cat or grumpy cat, whatever it is face, I just can't do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: My temperature check is well past 7.3.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're probably in the eighths right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is like hashtag cockroach, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is the team that will not die.
[SPEAKER_02]: Both teams at one point were 7 for 21 with runners in scoring position.
[SPEAKER_02]: You cannot do that unless you're an extra in exams.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's insane to get 21 opportunities.
[SPEAKER_02]: You scored in the last, you scored a minimum run in each of the last five innings.
[SPEAKER_02]: You scored six runs in the first eight innings, six runs in the last five.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are no egos on this team.
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_02]: who you look at.
[SPEAKER_02]: One person makes a mistake.
[SPEAKER_02]: The rest of the team picks it up.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not oh damn, you screwed up.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no egos here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody is just playing the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think anyone's looking at one person say, oh, he's the guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to figure it out.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's none of that.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, derand struggled a couple times.
[SPEAKER_02]: ended up having a really nice play later on gun to runner out at home saved it you know guys this is this is the boss and red socks right now I they can't lose they they you they can't even try to lose it's impossible they're just not missing
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm with you, Terry, I'm not sure what was going on with so far as doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got the best reliever in the game, closing this one out.
[SPEAKER_02]: They only had to go to winnings, it wasn't pretty, but I mean, Jesus, if you look at his split as a starter and as a reliever, you got a bum starter and a bang and reliever.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got nothing else to say.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, part of the result tonight for me is a change in the style of play, since they changed the manager.
[SPEAKER_01]: To me, Corea plays for the two-run extra-an-in-result, and they probably lose the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, I'm, you know, taking, I'm assuming that.
[SPEAKER_01]: But instead what they do is, in each inning, they find a way to move runners along,
[SPEAKER_01]: timely hitting and you know this guy that it's late and I forgot his name but the guy who had to come into the game when Wong got pinched run for puts together in that bat that at bat it was the underrated at bat of the game the the white socks lefty
[SPEAKER_01]: was missing by feet.
[SPEAKER_01]: He threw one to the backstop, which advances to ran.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he's spinning sliders that aren't breaking and missing by not inches, feet, three feet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the catcher sprawl, how do you get comfortable in that that where you are focused enough on a two-stripe pitch to drill the ball to center field and score the run?
[SPEAKER_01]: Just the drain, throwing the base run around at the plate, next just, you know, all of the general approach in extra innings, I give Tracy a ton of credit here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Today's win in large part is a product of the change in play style implemented when Tracy took over the team.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, lots of small ball, lots of situational hitting, you know, next man up every night.
[SPEAKER_00]: I would say the real hero tonight is Willier, Brayow, because they were down to their last strike in the 10th inning and he punched that single up the middle to bring in the runner to tie it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that was, you know, that was the inning after Chapman
[SPEAKER_00]: by Chase MyDraft, and let me say this.
[SPEAKER_00]: We all thought Kyle Teele was the prize of that trade for the for the white socks.
[SPEAKER_00]: Brezlo was begging them on multiple occasions and the off season trying to get him back.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Chase Mydraw was probably the prize.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got well actually I think he's got what 12 homeruns now because he hit 2 tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: But you know he's throughout the miners he was a slappy contact editor.
[SPEAKER_00]: a little bit of power.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he's ever going to be a 31-hundred guy, but I liked his poison at the plate.
[SPEAKER_00]: I liked that he gave no F's about the pitcher that was on the mound.
[SPEAKER_00]: and he just kind of owned the moment and I'm like, you know, those are the types of players.
[SPEAKER_00]: I put compared to anybody on this podcast, I put the highest premium on those players, you know, commonly early was that guy as a pitcher, you know, that was a tough trade for me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, he might be done for the season by the looks of it set back today information in the in the forum or something, but um, but yeah, so that was impressive, but I think a brave kind of, you know, kind of one it for us tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, and then finally Brian Bale.
[SPEAKER_00]: that's like a cheat code we watched reliever after reliever from chicago come in and just barely hang on or give up the the minimum one run and bail is just so solid like I don't want him to start another game ever again.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just you know I've said in recent shows
[SPEAKER_00]: Nick Peveta was a super long reliever.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was an ace long reliever and Bayo's the same way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't mess with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: The difference with Peveta was he pitched every five days.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's where Bayo creates tremendous amount of flexibility.
[SPEAKER_01]: And obviously, you see it tonight where you're in extras and all your one-in-ing guys are gone.
[SPEAKER_01]: And as far as I'm aware, the White Sox don't have a player like Beo who can go essentially whatever Indians are left in the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he creates flexibility because on Monday, if the starter has an injury or can't you know, get deep in the game, you can bring him in the second or third inning and he in the flexibility's there to bridge the gap to
[SPEAKER_01]: to the Whitlocks and the Chapman to the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I give him a ton of credit because make no mistake about a professional athlete, especially once like Bay of who have the contract and have paid, have been paid, they could have turtles.
[SPEAKER_01]: And when they come back, they, you know, and honestly, that's what I expected.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what we've gotten is the exact opposite.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's checked as he go at the door, the whole thing about him being a starter in his last interview before he was sent down.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like all the things we thought about this player seemed to be mistaken or the trip to Worcester set him straight because
[SPEAKER_01]: He is performing at an incredibly high level.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the first inning that he pitched tonight, the 12th inning, he did not have it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right away, he's missing wildly.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's yanking the ball.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, his release point was all over the plate, all over the place.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he finds a way to get out of that.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he comes back in the 13th and he's sharp.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Ghostrunner doesn't score, no, he did score.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he put you in a position of win the game and make no mistake if the game was still ongoing.
[SPEAKER_01]: He'd still be pitching.
[SPEAKER_00]: True.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to say this, you know, Bayo to the bullpen wasn't by design.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was not the orchestrated plan.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bayo went to the bullpen because he just could not handle being a starter.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it just so happened that it worked out.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the not plan became the eventual plan.
[SPEAKER_02]: and it was perfect for a situation like this.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to extras every top of the half-fending.
[SPEAKER_02]: We allow a run, then we score one in the bottom half.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully we can get to, we'll see if we can minimize the damage in the top half of one of these innings.
[SPEAKER_02]: We ain't where we'll do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a pop-out run or couldn't advance.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then it was, I think, a flyout and then a ground up and that was it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever it was, the combination.
[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't matter.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like this team right now is just not missing, and there aren't any other teams that have a situation like the Boston Red Sox right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Believe me, there is going to be people that probably, they're going to look into this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually, I realized one of them was a strike out because they tried to do a strike them out throw them out and it just worked out.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm so flippin' pumped about the next two series.
[SPEAKER_02]: You got Oakland at home for three, and then it's a short trek up to Toronto for four.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a very good chance in the next seven games we're at least in second place.
[SPEAKER_02]: only a half a game out of second place right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Guys, this is insane.
[SPEAKER_02]: We were half a game at one point from being the very worst team in Major League Baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: you are now four and a half games away or five games away from being the best team in the American League, which isn't saying anything super crazy because the American League is not in any way shape or form as strong as the National League, but we have come a long way in just over a month.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think over the last 35 games or we 30 and 5,
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's, it's something like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're 10 and 1 in our last 11.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's, it's dumb.
[SPEAKER_02]: It really is dumb when you look at it, guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are on Fuego and it's not even close.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, let me just get this in real quick.
[SPEAKER_00]: You've won eight straight.
[SPEAKER_00]: If you sweep Oakland and you sweep Toronto and Toronto blew it up, they don't have God's men anymore, you savage looks like he's going to be out for a little while, so what I'm getting at here is if you sweep the next two series, you're going to tie your 15 in a row, so that's, you know, that's something to, you know, pay attention to.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's dumb.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's stupid.
[SPEAKER_01]: It won't happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no way.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's ridiculous.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's preposterous.
[SPEAKER_01]: The unprecedented thing here, and I think we all like why I don't want to say we all agree, but my mindset coming out of the 15-game streak was, water is going to find its level.
[SPEAKER_01]: They may not go back to 500 baseball, but they're going to win six out of 10 games, like good teams do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not only juggle and hide if it's previous self, but even when they do drop a game, it doesn't stop the momentum in any way.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, tomorrow's a big test.
[SPEAKER_01]: Every arm through, I don't know if maybe they're gonna bring somebody up and juggle the bullpen a little bit to bring in a fresh arm, but every position player played except for contraris.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tomorrow is a real, if they can go out and win tomorrow, I don't care who the opponent is.
[SPEAKER_01]: That is, that, that, that,
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's a big win, given what it took to win tonight.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not just the energy, but every single guy in the roster.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I, somebody put in here, I don't have words.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the fact that they won 15 in a row drop the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: And essentially, just state as hot as they were as incredible.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to, I'm not going to say tomorrow's an automatic win.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because every time I do that, I jinx us.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it is against Jack Perkins, who has a 6.72 ERA, he pitched okay against us two starts ago.
[SPEAKER_00]: We played them recently.
[SPEAKER_00]: Five and two thirds only gave up to earn runs, walk three, struck out four, but in his next start, which was his most recent start.
[SPEAKER_00]: five and one third innings against the Detroit Tigers, nine hits, six earned, and he's up against Peyton Tully.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if Oakland's and the matchups aren't favorable except for on Sunday, which they may have started Brian Bale on Sunday, or used him in summer, that was the day that was Mark for Bale until tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: And so what's today Thursday maybe well, maybe that's enough rest to still pinch him for the beginning to winning you might be able to but so we got TBD on Sunday but the only way I see Oakland winning a game this series is if they just don't nuts
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're offense if they put up a 10 spot maybe they can win a game.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't I don't see it.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got totally tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got Bennett the next day and then TBD I guess you could get one on that day and their best picture is going on Sunday in this series That's JT again with a 3.51 ERA did we face him last time let's see no we didn't
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, we did, we faced Perkins, and we faced, what's the other guy?
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this last name's Gump, like for us.
[SPEAKER_00]: Jump, sorry, gauge jump.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we've seen them, and, you know, we haven't talked about pre-game preparation.
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's a big key here to why we're crushing it is so much offensively.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I think part of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: now you go.
[SPEAKER_02]: I I've been I had been saying the most important series that we are going to have in a little while was that one against the Dodgers.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you get swept by the LA Dodgers, you never make the trade for Adley Rushman.
[SPEAKER_02]: You never bring in what is it, Eric is Eric Miller, right, the reliever from San Francisco.
[SPEAKER_02]: You never bring in speedy outfielder.
[SPEAKER_02]: You just don't make the moves.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you sweep LA, you have to make the decisions you're making.
[SPEAKER_02]: Curtis Mead was the first domino, and then that was the sign.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's almost as if nothing has gone wrong for Craig Breslow in the first X amount of days, almost like
[SPEAKER_02]: didn't even matter.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's crazy that turn around that we've seen.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the most unreal thing about it all, there is no bona fide superstar on this team.
[SPEAKER_02]: injured or otherwise, you could maybe say crochet, even though he's only had one two good years, he's injured right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no, you know, you think about the players or the Red Sox have had in the past, David Ortiz, Mani Ramirez, Movan in the 90s.
[SPEAKER_02]: We could hold a candle to some of the records that we're breaking right now, or games that we're consistently putting in right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is unprecedented.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the most important thing here, Guy, guys, is there are no egos.
[SPEAKER_02]: They get checked right at the door.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have a good day, great.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have a bad day, whatever, dust it off, we try again tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's eight other guys in the lineup.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a boatload of guys in the bullpen.
[SPEAKER_02]: They just look like they're having fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: At one point, there's a guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's giving Bob, like a Bob Feller,
[SPEAKER_02]: They were, they were so chilled, so relaxed, locked in when they needed to be, okay, cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can go interact with some fans.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a gift, a role this Chapman, never broke his focus, never broke, yeah, he gave up a two-run home run, but the team was like, all right, cool, rally around.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's figure out, away, they won't die.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I mean, Dougie said it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said we're gonna win game 1 in game 3 and he's like, ah, sweep.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, Doug, please.
[SPEAKER_02]: What are you talking about my guy?
[SPEAKER_02]: One of these guys, one of these games are gonna lose.
[SPEAKER_02]: Dougie called sweep and I think he was sober.
[SPEAKER_02]: So guys, I mean, it's happening.
[SPEAKER_02]: Dougie was right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't have any words.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the ugliest thing about this whole game was that they allowed 10 runs.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was the biggest thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Terry, what about instead of preparation?
[SPEAKER_01]: What about under Chad Tracy, the players, the roster, know their role?
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's more clearly defined, starting with the fact that there are certain guys in the lineup every day.
[SPEAKER_01]: It appears that under Tracy long gone are the best players that they off before a down day,
[SPEAKER_01]: a travel day or coming off a travel day, give a guy another day.
[SPEAKER_01]: The same guys are in the line up all the time, and yet they're shuffling in their injuries and there was matchups for a righty lefty, but they draw a line up to win every single game, and that has to have a positive effect on the roster, knowing when you go to the ballpark, you're going to be in the line up,
[SPEAKER_01]: you're, and if you're not, you know what your role is.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's a big factor here with another clear difference between Alex Cora and Chad Tracy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, Alex Cora, just kind of ran his course.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he was tired of carrying the weight of this team every year, getting it to overachieve and
[SPEAKER_00]: all that and, you know, you need fresh energy and, you know, and Tracy has brought it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I'm a Tracy guy at this moment, but, you know, you've got to give him all the credit, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying long-term, you know, but.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Terry, what about my point?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like,
[SPEAKER_01]: He's guy that, you know what I mean by like, yeah, like the ran's gonna get Sunday off because we're down Monday, so he is the double day off.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Tracy had, you guys agree with me on that that he,
[SPEAKER_01]: healthy players that are every day players play every day.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that goes into a little bit one a sense of urgency to win on a nightly basis.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it also stands for, I know you can't project how much they're winning in these long streets.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it, I mean, it lends itself to string and wins together now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I mean, I like that we're not overthinking it, and when Roman Anthony comes back, it'll be interesting to see what happens with Deran, you know, and I mean, they're not going to DFAM, they would have just shipped him and freed up the money.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you would think to my Jones or you like, you like, you like, what's it be like, white?
[SPEAKER_01]: Is this name?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: They'd be optioned or DFA.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's what'll happen, but I just, I can't imagine Weird platoon's taking place once anything comes back.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gonna be out there every day and Let me make two points.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll make the first one here quick because I want to get to Doran a A little bit more in depth here in the final segment, but look at
[SPEAKER_00]: a lot of your damage tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see.
[SPEAKER_00]: Monastery O2 runs, Anthony Seagler, three runs driven in, Connor Wong, two runs driven in, that's seven runs by three players who essentially don't have a future.
[SPEAKER_00]: Once, once Mead comes back, once Adly Rushman is back from injury, and, you know, so I just, and I didn't think I even mentioned Monastery, and they're he drove into none of these guys are long-term guys.
[SPEAKER_00]: None, when we, you know, almost certainly, you know, I'm not saying definitely because I'm a human jinx, but if we're playing baseball in October,
[SPEAKER_00]: most of these guys I just mentioned aren't even on the roster, and but they're the one stepping up.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's why that's why this run is just so unbelievable.
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I'm not shocked that Caleb Durbin finally figured it out as numbers last year weren't terrible.
[SPEAKER_00]: He had 11 dingers.
[SPEAKER_00]: 40 or 50 runs driven in.
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't play a full season because he hadn't debuted yet.
[SPEAKER_00]: But it's just nuts.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then finally, Jared Durand gave you, what, almost nothing tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: What was he here?
[SPEAKER_01]: Big play defensively.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: over five, over five, and then he gets gunned down at third place, uh, third place after that walk, you know, the dudes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why didn't they, that's the most annoying thing about the deadline.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've been, I was up and down on the me trade, you know, before we got hurt.
[SPEAKER_00]: I only had about five minutes to figure that one out where we got hurt.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, it does sound like Rushman will be back soon, very soon.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, I'm, so I'm like, I'm finally feeling okay about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But the most annoying thing about the trade deadline was you could have shipped off Sharon to Rand for a bag of baseballs.
[SPEAKER_00]: You did it with Meyer.
[SPEAKER_00]: Why couldn't you do it with the Rand, you know?
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just I wish they could have just done a little bit of housekeeping in that regard.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean with the Derrand thing, I see your point obviously as a
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's down, so you would think that you'd save money on that next year.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he would be moved, even if it was a one for one, your trash for our trash.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm a little bit surprised these here.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope that him staying kind of lifts the pressure a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if myro does, if myroman Anthony does come back and plays even a little bit
[SPEAKER_01]: But he is dynamic and if he can find, you know, 240 and continue to hit with the same power, I mean, he's a game changer.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that had to be their thinking.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the only thing I can be only way I can explain it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, with his performance and his on field and off field stuff, you would have thought that they would have found a way to move him.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know man.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm still very much a pro-Jairn guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love his energy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not the the prettiest energy and I know he causes, you know, so it rub some people the wrong way, but the fact of the matter is man.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Jairn Durant throws that guy out at home and people can say whatever they want.
[SPEAKER_02]: The good news is that
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, for the most part, we're all pretty aligned.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to face Jiren Duran if he's on the other team.
[SPEAKER_02]: I really don't.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no other player that would want to shove it right up Boston's, you know, what if he were to be wearing another uniform?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you don't trade somebody though.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just, realistically, though, I mean, who do you want Anthony or Duran in left field?
[SPEAKER_01]: Duran.
[SPEAKER_00]: You really want to ran.
[SPEAKER_00]: Bro, man, you know what I mean?
[SPEAKER_00]: I know what I mean.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like he has two elbows.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he started it.
[SPEAKER_00]: He had started it, it was a footwork thing, is how they identified it, and it seemed to be cleaned up.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think Anthony is going to be favored either way.
[SPEAKER_00]: So then let's put Durian at DH, then.
[SPEAKER_00]: But then, you know, she does better machine against writings.
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no fit for Doran.
[SPEAKER_01]: This has to work itself out through the time and triple-A.
[SPEAKER_01]: Roman Anthony has completely reset his season.
[SPEAKER_01]: He needs some version of spring training to be able to come back and expect success at the big league level.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's got to go get 20, 30 advance and Worcester would be my thought.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if he's hitting, then he comes up and he gets hot and he's in the lineup because he's such a special talent.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if he's not,
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't assume he's going to play every day if he's hit in 210 and not hit in the ball with power, especially if the rest of the lineup is producing around them.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I make no assumption on Roman Anthony coming back and if he does that he's going to be at the production level he was at the end of last year before he got hurt.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I can only speculate, but I just feel like, for some reason I just feel like he would be favored.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking up Christian Campbell right now, who's had a bit of a power surge.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I believe.
[SPEAKER_00]: Did he?
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a big double, I can't remember, but he had a big hit tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: Actually it was a double yeah, you know, drove in a run.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that that could be a question.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, who would you rather have Christian Campbell or Roman Anthony?
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_00]: The season has been so nuts.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't you can't bring Christian Campbell up in a pennant race.
[SPEAKER_01]: After what happened him last year, I do hope he gets a chance in the bigs, but it has to be after a spring training and the start the season with the club.
[SPEAKER_01]: you can't bring him into this environment with these games where now they matter you're chasing down the rolls with the chance to win the division you can't put him into that spot and expect any level of success.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay Jeremy, I agree with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I agree with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, honestly, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no need to change it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know there's the rumors of lunch ever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, guys, he has not been a part of this team for a really long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was not pretty when he was here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I see Terry foaming.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just waiting to say something about Terry.
[SPEAKER_02]: Does it sound like DFA?
[SPEAKER_00]: Hell, I wouldn't say that, but he'll give this line up some type of virus.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't need that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Here's let me make one thing clear here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me point out one thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we can go home.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think, I think, I think Craig Breslow is a spiteful mofo, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw it with the devil's trade.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then when Alex Corrigot fired, that very night.
[SPEAKER_00]: Trevor's story started calling out, Breslow, at least through the media, maybe in the hotel lobby.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think Breslow appreciated that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think he's forgotten it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if I'm right, you won't see Trevor's story again in 2026.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope that our lead baseball operator operations guide would not use some personal slate.
[SPEAKER_01]: to not improve the club if he thought that he would.
[SPEAKER_01]: So my take on that would be if, again, he needs to go on assignment and get 20 or 30 if that's, and if he's hitting, you bring him up if you think he improves the roster.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't expect that to happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't expect him to be a positive, certainly offensively and defensively, we already know he's limited.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Brazil's decision better be if he's,
[SPEAKER_01]: Good for the club were he's on the roster and playing if he's not, they find a way to, you know, either keep say he's just not healthy or another thing that's been happening with the Red Sox is they go on the disabled with disabled list with one injury and then they stay on it because of another and that could be something that might happen if they feel like he won't help the big league club.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it monastery has been an air machine and it almost cost us to 1913 tonight.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's when the runner got gunned down at the plate, but so he got bailed out by Durran.
[SPEAKER_00]: The one good thing Durran did tonight was a good throw, but anyway, I'm all out of takes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know it's really late for you guys, but can we just take one moment to just appreciate the fact that we are in such a better place mentally because this team is actually doing well.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not the sexiest lineup game in and game out, but I've been saying it, Fleeca gave me a little shout out there like this team is sexy again, it's good again.
[SPEAKER_02]: We saw this team go down 4-0 fast and I was like, alright,
[SPEAKER_02]: whatever, they'll do something, they'll always make this game interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not worried.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have not said that in years, years.
[SPEAKER_02]: We used to go down three, oh, and I'm like, curtains turn off the TV, put on whatever it is that you guys like watching, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it didn't matter, it was done.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, you could, we could be on score five, zero.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's still gonna make it interesting, you know?
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the Boston Red Sox right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: We can't disagree with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, man, Terry anything else you want to have?
[SPEAKER_00]: Fire, Braslow.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, just keep the cadence, right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't be a horse as you know what.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is going to do it for your bastards of Boston baseball from Terry, Jeremy, and Charlie.
[SPEAKER_02]: We want to wish all of you guys a great one.
[SPEAKER_02]: And let's see if we can make it a 10 spot.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a serious one.
