00:00And I'm not going to sugarcoat this.
00:02We are hovering on the brink of a disaster.
00:05We are hovering on the brink of a catastrophe.
00:09That's what it would be if the Red Sox get nudged out of these playoffs
00:12after having a six-game lead, coming home,
00:16playing a stretch of games against teams that are not playoff teams.
00:20The A's are not a playoff team.
00:22The Diamondbacks, not a playoff team.
00:25Tampa Bay Rays, who you have coming up in this next series,
00:28is not a playoff team.
00:30And then you've got two straight series against a couple of playoff teams.
00:33And by God, to imagine this lineup in a playoff setting,
00:39to imagine this offense trying to go out there and play a postseason game
00:43with Masa Yoshida batting cleanup,
00:47David Hamilton and Nick Sogard starting in the lineup.
00:50And I don't necessarily blame these guys.
00:52They're playing. They're there.
00:53I mean, listen, there's a lot of guys on the IL right now.
00:56It's not their fault that they're here.
00:57It may be their fault that they're not hitting,
00:59but, you know, Sogard had the walk-off yesterday on that swinging bunt.
01:03You know things are bad when, like, the best at-bats you're seeing from these guys
01:06are swinging bunts.
01:07That's the way they're getting on base half the time, with the swinging bunt.
01:11I've heard the word swinging bunt about a million times in the last three days,
01:14because that's the only time the Red Sox ever get on base.
01:16There is one imposing bat in this lineup right now.
01:20One.
01:21And it's Trevor Story, and that's it.
01:23There is nobody else here that any pitcher has to fear.
01:27The pitchers don't have to fear Jaron Durant.
01:29You don't have to fear Alex Bregman right now.
01:32I mean, you've still got to pitch to him.
01:33You don't want to throw him meatballs right down the middle.
01:34But even if you do, I don't know if Sedan Raphael is hitting one of those.
01:38Sedan Raphael is not hitting anything.
01:39I am about at the end of my rope with this offense.
01:45It is about as bad as I can remember a team with this kind of talent looking.
01:51And I understand Roman Anthony.
01:52Yeah, right.
01:53Roman Anthony is on the IL.
01:55Am I to believe here that this entire offense was being held up by one 21-year-old,
02:00and that's the only thing keeping them from being this all year long?
02:04Because I don't buy it.
