00:00Harry's in the car. What's up, Harry?
00:02Beetle, you got tonked by Raphael Devis.
00:05I'll give you an example.
00:07You got tonked.
00:08I would have taken a bag of balls for him
00:12because I can remember he didn't play in a single spring training game
00:16and then you in that middle again.
00:19And so you went along.
00:21You're a nice guy.
00:22You went along with it.
00:23You said, oh, how come they didn't talk to him about Bregman?
00:28Well, why would they talk to him?
00:29He don't talk to nobody unless he has an interpreter with him.
00:33Come on.
00:33The guy, he never, ever, ever, I don't think, with the Sox,
00:38hit over 40 home runs.
00:40Now he's going to hit 40 home runs for the Giants
00:44and they're going to miss the wild card by four games.
00:47And we might win the division.
00:51Thanks a lot.
00:52Thanks a lot, Rafi.
00:54See you later.
00:55You guys have a nice day.
00:56You do a great job.
00:58Thanks.
00:59He's not going to hit 40 home runs.
01:00What's he talking about?
01:01He's at 31 right now.
01:02He's not going to hit 40 home runs this season,
01:04but he has hit 16 since he got traded.
01:08He's a bit hot, too.
01:09Yeah.
01:10You also don't factor in the entire thing here
01:13that the Red Sox are tied for the MLB lead.
01:15And ERA overall dating back to June 8th was when that five-game winning streak
01:20right before Rafael Devers got traded became a six-game winning streak the day after in Seattle.
01:25They've been pitching their ass off this entire time, and it started before he got dealt.
01:29And then you bring in Roman Anthony, who essentially replaced Rafael Devers in the lineup.
01:33Yeah, that's awesome.
01:34They've been a mediocre offense going back to the all-star break.
01:37If you had Rafael Devers in this lineup, you're not having the same conversations about how you're surviving without Roman Anthony.
01:42Instead, you're saying the Red Sox are a real-world series contender in the AL
01:45and could go head-to-head with any offense they're going to go up against,
01:48and their ceiling is as high as any of these other teams.
01:52Instead, now we're saying, can you survive the wild-card round until Roman Anthony gets back?
01:56People want to do revisionist history on all this stuff.
01:58You were winning games when Rafael Devers was here.
02:00What changed?
02:01He was a top-five hitter in terms of OPS from April 1st to the day he was traded.
02:05Brilliant.
02:05He was mashing.
02:06He was doing his damn job.
02:08No kidding.
02:08He's going to be a 3,100 guy again, by the way.
02:10Every full season Rafi Devers has played, he's a 3,100 guy.
02:13Every single one.
02:16Without a doubt.
02:18The years he's had injuries in IL stints, he hasn't reached it.
02:22But every healthy season that he's played the whole year, I think this is the fourth one,
02:26without missing time at all, he's 3,100.
02:29He's had other years where he missed 20 games in a season, and he was very close.
02:35There's one in there where he's really close.
02:36I think he had 88 one year.
02:39He's a 3,100 guy.
02:40Lock him in.
02:40If he's playing, he's unbelievable.
02:42Always.
02:43Like, trying to tell me that Rafi Devers is not a good player or not a good hitter,
02:48you're wasting your time.
02:50Nice bat to have, huh?
02:51It's just a waste of time.
02:52Don't waste my time with that.
02:54All right.
02:55All right.
02:55All right.
02:55So here we go.
02:56All right.
02:57Let's do it.
