00:00When it comes to pitching, Connelly Early was a surprise for all of us.
00:03We were impressed.
00:05But when Cora was asked about him, he said that they need to look at making sure that Crochet and Baio and Giolito are getting their regular rest spots.
00:13So figuring out where to fit him in.
00:17Would it be beneficial for a guy like Crochet to get extra rest around this time?
00:21How do you balance all that?
00:24Yeah, I think so.
00:25I mean, if you take a step back, we've got, what, 15 games left, five, three-game series.
00:34The goal is still to win the American League East and to get that by.
00:39I mean, it would be amazing.
00:41It's going to be hard.
00:42But that has been the goal, and that continues to be the goal.
00:47We've got a series left against the Yankees, obviously, this weekend.
00:50It's going to be huge.
00:51And then we actually go up to Toronto.
00:54So we've got a shot here.
00:57But giving guys rest is important, too.
01:00You've got to balance it.
01:01And Alex, nobody does a better job of managing that workload like Alex Cora.
01:07He's done a good job.
01:08It's really, really hard as you get into August and September.
01:12Because, you know, if we don't win these games, we're not playing in October.
01:16But you've got one eye on the playoffs as well.
01:20So it is a balance.
01:21But great to have these performances.
01:24You know, Conley was extraordinary.
01:26All the swing and miss he got.
01:29And just being so poised out there.
01:31I don't know about you guys, but he did look nervous in the dugout.
01:36And then all of a sudden, he's up there on the mound.
01:39And it's like, whoa, what are we watching here?
01:42So it was pretty cool to see and have his family there.
01:46It was great.
01:47And it was good.
01:49But it's a grind.
01:50And it takes a full complement of arms to get through this point in the season.
