00:00gut punch that is the potential for Roman Anthony oblique injury and some time missed by Roman

00:09Anthony and he's I mean he's having an MRI today but the way Alex Bregman is talking about it it's

00:16almost as if it is a foregone conclusion that they are it's not like a tweak it's like he's

00:23talking about the injury as if it is uh something that they know is gonna cost him some time for a

00:29while I mean the way listening to Roman Anthony himself speak about it he was basically saying

00:34like yeah it's worse than anything else that he's he's felt this year or face this year so I mean

00:40I would not expect to see him for a bit yeah and this is where once again we can talk to Brez about

00:46it tomorrow but at nine this is the depth you needed when you're relying on young players who

00:53haven't played a 162 game season you have now crochet for the first time since May consecutively

00:59pitching on four days rest with last night's clunker against the guardians and you're going

01:04to need him more now down the stretch into the playoffs and I'm not sure you can rely on it would

01:08you skip a start yes if you don't have crochet as best as he can possibly be in October right then

01:16it doesn't matter what your record is right so I would if I would give up the division and play in

01:23the wild card if it meant that crochet was healthy as opposed to grinding him down the stretch and

01:29then you don't know what you're getting when he goes in game one but you brought a dude up for

01:32tonight Kyle Harrison and so and then you've got uh I don't know about if it's for tonight though

01:39Brennan Bernardino is set to to start tonight he's taking over for Toley yeah I saw him getting

01:45Wiggy's autograph totally or or I prefer uh I think the best nickname I I think I have to give credit

01:51to a Jones and Keith listener because they came up with it is uh Magnum P.I.G. Slap duck but he is

01:59gonna go Friday um which I love that dude like I he is he is just the attitude and the the story

02:10the story about his mom the fact that it only took him a year to get here is wild so but yeah

02:19so Curtis you would skip a start when it comes to crochet after last night the only way you have a

02:24chance is if he's at his best in October and does anybody doubt that he won't get there if he keeps

02:30pitching on normal rest the rest of the way I mean there's a reason they did what they did since May

02:34it was working so yeah I would I would do what you were doing that works best for him to make sure

02:41he's ready to go postseason I would say with Roman Anthony rest them and you know don't rush him back

02:50I feel like you have enough offense where if he's out you know for a few weeks not a big deal

02:56right um you have enough backs you have enough offense it's gonna be okay you want him to be ready

03:03to go come the postseason you want crochet to be ready to go and give you those innings you want

03:08giolito you want bail you want your three starters to be all ready to go and you know peak performance

03:17come postseason because that's the most I guess the concern would be that it's you could maybe it's a

03:21trend where it's not just crochet last night it's giolito and it's bail on the four days rest I mean

03:31we talked about that earlier because Lou was was uh tweeting about it or xing about it so I I mean I

03:37and why do they do that because I thought it was always every fifth day you started so why

03:44the where's the that's four days off and he doesn't so what he's what he did the last time last two

03:50times out he was on normal every fifth day with four days in between starts okay prior to that he had

03:56had an extra day every start between may and august okay august okay so he was given every sixth day

04:03as opposed to every fifth day all right so now the so the four days is is technically what most guys

04:08everybody yep okay you have a five-man rotation so you have four days off right between so you know

04:13you're saying go back to what it was where it was basically every you know sixth day he was okay

04:18well I would do that then if that's what you what you need to keep him to where he's at his

04:24best performance okay well 645 first pitch tonight on the shahs and star market right what

04:31curtis I was asking shyme a question about what we're doing right now nothing to do about you

04:36or anything um 645 tonight 645 tonight I am confused now about the who's pitching tonight

04:42brennan bernandito is listed as the pitcher this evening and uh I'm the article I read was that

04:47kyle harrison was going to take over for toley if you look on x some people are saying he's pitching

04:51tonight yeah I think they I thought they had brought him up to pitch for tonight but we will

04:56yeah whatever you do don't go by what they say on espn.com and I did and and Ken is still mad at

05:03me that I didn't give him credit that skeins was going friday and so I do it I go by redsox.com
