00:00My lead is a bit of an apology on behalf of the show to Craig Breslow,
00:05who actually, I believe yesterday on this show,
00:10showed a little bit of the human side when he mocked himself
00:13during a discussion about those who might be robotic or actually be robots.
00:22But many on this program have been all over Craig Breslow
00:27throughout this Red Sox season.
00:28And here we are, inching slowly to the end of the season,
00:35getting closer and closer to this Boston Red Sox team
00:39being not only a wild card team, but maybe even winning the division.
00:46And so you look at the moves that Craig Breslow made,
00:50whether it was getting Garrett Crochet or getting the Bregman deal done
00:55or getting Narvaez or, for me, the biggest one,
01:03getting rid of a guy who was, I would guess,
01:08having some sort of a negative effect on the rest of the fellas
01:13that are there in the clubhouse.
01:15Chapman.
01:16In the form of Raphael Devers, getting rid of Raphael Devers,
01:20that Aroldis Chapman,
01:23I think we owe the guy an apology
01:27because this team is a team that I think can go far
01:33when it comes to the playoffs.
01:35I really do.
01:36I mean, there are people that are calling it a World Series team,
01:39World Series, or busts, Wiggy.
01:42So, and you've been beating that drum for a while.
01:46I mean, if they don't win the World Series,
01:48like, I won't be upset.
01:49If they make a deep playoff run,
01:51I think a lot of people will be happy
01:53because the one thing that I asked Breslow
01:56is you have this young team.
01:58You bring up all these players.
02:00You locked up Sedan,
02:03Raphaela,
02:04for, what, seven, eight years?
02:06You obviously got Roman Anthony.
02:07Yes, you made the decision maybe a little late
02:10to bring up Roman Anthony.
02:11But you locked him up.
02:13In hindsight.
02:14Right.
02:14That has been huge for this baseball team.
02:18So, and then he made it seem like
02:19they're going to be aggressive in the offseason
02:21to add to a young team that has a good core,
02:26a good foundation that can contend
02:29for World Series for a number of years.
02:32So, I think he's done a good job.
02:34And give Alex's core credit to him.
02:36Now, listen, Curtis,
02:38kind of half-assed his apology yesterday to Bres.
02:42There were people who wanted way more
02:43from Chris Curtis yesterday.
02:44Did you hear that?
02:45Well, when he said,
02:46yeah, I was one of those people with Raphael Devers.
02:48Yes.
02:48Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:49Yeah, but he proved for that stop sign.
02:52He was like, poof.
02:53Remember, I remember it like it was yesterday.
02:55We were in Newport.
02:56Right.
02:57And I was screaming,
02:59please get rid of Raphael Devers.
03:01And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
