00:00guy why is it the astros curtis who always figure out that there may be some sign stealing going on

00:06when they're here visiting well i think they know the guy that used to work for them as manager of

00:11the red sox okay i was wondering it'd be kind of like mangini being with the jets i was wondering

00:15about that best way to catch a criminal is with a criminal right 508 text why won't you guys admit

00:22that the better deadline move was not to mess up the chemistry of this team i don't know that

00:29anybody's refusing to admit that i mean i think the better better point david had called earlier and

00:35i saw we never got to him and he was saying do you really think one person would be able to win

00:39them a world series and i mean if it's joe ryan yes do you think josh beckett brought the red sox a world

00:46series in 07 absolutely i mean i you know maybe not so much merrill kelly or what i mean i i just

00:54think that listen i think do you win the world series without kurt chilling in 04 just saying yeah

01:00but i don't think i'm chilling and joe ryan are on the same but i'm saying but the point is that one

01:05person can't change the team that's factually inaccurate oh i i think that fans wanted they

01:10wanted something right um on friday and they or on thursday and they didn't get it and so they were

01:16upset on friday and i understand that if this team continues to win series right against teams like

01:22the astros right in august and they don't have the august collapse right that they have had the

01:28last couple years then yes then yes i i will say that craig breslow did the right thing by by doing

01:34not so much especially if john of the car yes shilling was indeed traded to the red sox by the

01:39arizona diamondbacks on thanksgiving in 2003 and go get an internet unless you know especially if

01:44baio and giolito can keep up with their doing then i think it's like okay you know maybe it looks

01:51at the end of the year it looks better to then trade a guy like jaron duran maybe you get more

01:57for him more teams are now in the market for him so maybe you get a better pitcher than joe ryan

02:02because i mean like i don't know much about joe ryan he hasn't pitched much in the postseason so

02:10who the hell knows what he would be anyways right yeah um but if they see i think the issue with if you

02:16want to go if you want to sit here this morning and say what craig breslow did was intentionally

02:23not to not to screw with the chemistry that's okay to say that um but that craig breslow never told you

02:33like he had the opportunity on friday to tell you that that's what he was doing and he didn't say that

02:38he did quite the opposite he said he said that they were uh out there trying to make deals and

02:44nobody was willing to to to to take what they were offering and i you said to him that that ken

02:51rosenthal reported that their attempt to acquire joe ryan was feeble at best yes and he said and i quote

02:58i strongly disagree with that right so if he thought it wasn't gonna help well then you disagree with

03:04breslow yeah correct so but but you have to acknowledge right that this team at times when

03:14they want to go out and and win these games there's a there's a there's a bunch of gamers on that squad

03:19over there curtis bunch of a bunch of guys bunch of dirt dogs right and they're legit they are

03:25legitimately right now in the hunt for first place in the al east so there's a chance that come the end

03:33of the season they could win the division and if they do that i think then people probably and if

03:40they do that then that means bale and giolito probably have continued on the pace that they were

03:45on yeah and maybe he's like well see i wasn't gonna just give away everything um for you know

03:53during like you know whether it be a rental or maybe i could feel like i'd get a better package

03:58similar to santos in the off season he can't say that though because when he was on this show he said

04:03he even had everybody that they said was off limits you know on the table right so he was

04:08trying to make something happen yeah maybe i don't know maybe they wanted more maybe minnesota wanted

04:13more and he wasn't but he thought it was a problem just like we did he just failed at doing this job

04:18and getting the player here he didn't he doesn't think that one player doesn't make a difference he

04:22thinks the opposite no no no i i agree with that but maybe he felt like what we were offering

04:27minnesota they wanted more than we were willing to give up they didn't like the package that we

04:33were put together for them and we weren't willing to do that maybe it was pot and pot deep down a

04:39little bit of the chemistry thing and last year the red socks were 61 and 52 this year they're 62 and 51

04:46so i know it feels different but the the record at this point is almost identical one game off well

04:53greg we have a couple uh red socks cuts to start here first let's start with let's go in chronological

04:57order here roman anthony hit his first career walk-off home run on friday night it was beautiful

05:03it was awesome and we can hear from roman about the walk-off uh and about the fans as well

05:09it's amazing it's fun i want to do it again already um it's it's exciting but you know um credit to the

05:16fans you know every night you know they're so here this this place is just sold out every night um

05:21it makes it so fun to plan and uh you know they're there the entire game whether it's 12 innings

05:28whatever it is um but it's awesome i'm sorry i said home run it was a walk-off walk off the

05:33center field yeah my fault um i went to uh walk bullet on saturday morning and to fetch myself a

05:40coffee and didn't i see roman anthony uh right there bright and early 9 a.m uh saturday morning he was at

05:47blue bottle oh great place i don't i don't go that's too expensive oh i love it there huh i love

05:51it there no i'm not paying like 12 for a coffee like get out of here uh but i seem seem to have

05:57a very nice uh young lady with him and enjoying his time in the that's rude what you just did right

06:01well because who knows what's going on maybe he was a friend of his sister's or something i have

06:06absolutely no idea maybe they were going to tate and they're friends i have no idea early morning

06:10he's hitting instructor oh maybe um all right what's a different kind of hitting uh let's go

06:15to jeez what what nothing this guy's a man about town as he should be he's the king of the city he

06:23is uh what's next what did bullet make of him bullet was trying to find a place to poop let's be honest

06:29that's really all that's all he cares about did you pick up after him uh okay yeah except when he has

06:35diarrhea yeah bullet doesn't like anybody watching him so we have to go like crawl into the way into

06:40like the bushes and stuff yeah it's very it's complicated then you definitely don't pick it

06:44up no i always do always always got a designated area where you know people don't walk by always do

06:52well let's fast forward from friday to sunday as the red sox swept the uh houston astros lucas

06:57giolito through a gem yesterday and talked after the game about how this team is not upset about no

07:04deadline acquisitions here was lucas giolito no not at all you know when

07:09team has a need or a want then you know try your try your best to get that at the deadline

07:16uh but at the same time uh within this clubhouse we have belief in each other we have belief in

07:22ourselves uh no matter like how the deadline ended up that we know we're a very good baseball team we

07:27can win a lot of games okay i mean we asked craig breslow about this very thing on friday and uh

07:35he said he had been on teams where nothing gets done deadline time and the team kind of collapses

07:42i think that's happened here we've heard alex cora publicly heard rafael devers a few years ago

07:48publicly demand that they do something at the deadline and then nothing happens and then this

07:53team kind of fell apart in august but maybe these guys are different

07:56yeah maybe maybe they are maybe they are different well he's going to be part of that

08:01them being different because usually when they fall apart in the second half of the season

08:05a lot of it is kind of comes down to their pitching so him and bale are going to have a lot to do

08:12with them not having that second half second half collapse

08:16so
