Transcript

00:00Game one of the playoffs, the Boston Red Sox there for the first time since 2021.

00:08Curtis, I can't wait. Let's, I wish we could get it started right now.

00:12Oh, let's play three.

00:13Right? Why not?

00:14It does feel great. It's going to be a great day for baseball.

00:18There'll be what, three games this afternoon, two games this afternoon?

00:20Yes.

00:21And then the Sox-Yankees 6-0-8 right here on EEI.

00:24And I am, it's just so fun. I enjoy it.

00:28If people say I hate everything, I certainly do not hate playoff baseball.

00:31Well, the Giolito news was like a kick in the nuts yesterday.

00:36But I'm trying to ignore that.

00:38And, well, you get through this series and then maybe you get him back.

00:42It didn't sound that serious.

00:44Like, it sounded like it was more of a overuse of the elbow kind of thing

00:50as opposed to any kind of a tear or any kind of a ligament thing.

00:55The way in which Alex Cora described it anyway yesterday, Curtis.

00:59I mean, well, whatever it is, he's not pitching and that's not good for the Red Sox.

01:03Even more importance on tonight's game because you're going to need Crochet to get you game one

01:08and then you'll figure out either game two or game three to advance.

01:11But I love Crochet tonight.

01:13I've been all over the map.

01:15But I woke up this morning and I just, I had a, I manifested three strikeouts about Aaron Judge.

01:20Well, yeah, you're going to need, you're going to need him, like Curtis said,

01:23which he should be solid.

01:25Bayo, you get for game two and then you won't need, hopefully you won't need Giolito.

01:30And then is.

01:33That's a bold take, by the way, that they're going to grab the first two.

01:37But I'm with you.

01:38I am with you.

01:39I hope that's the way it goes.

01:41Right.

01:41I, I, I, isn't that the expectations?

01:44Because if you don't, then what's your plan heading into game three?

01:49Well, it sounds like it's Connelly early.

01:51It sounded a little bit like when you, when you listened to Alex Corey yesterday.

01:55So.

01:56I'm a bit more worried than you are because I mean, calling it an elbow injury.

02:00Like I wouldn't be surprised if it, if it lasts longer than just the wild card.

02:04Like I don't necessarily know if it's overuse and that worries me a lot.

02:08I, I, when the news broke yesterday, I think that that is besides crochet, you know, you're

02:15talking worst case scenario.

02:16Right.

02:16But I wonder if it was like, let's say it was the regular season.

02:20Would he go to the IL or would they just say, all right, you're going to miss a start and

02:25then you'll be ready to go your next one.

02:27So I guess that becomes the question to, you know, with him, if they feel like, all right,

02:32we can win this series without having to use him.

02:36Um, but if we give him that rest, he'll be ready to go for the next series.

02:41I would be shocked if the Red Sox advance that you see Giolito again.

02:45Okay.

02:46I mean, elbow kind of important for a pitcher.

02:49Uh, yeah.

02:50Giolito's cooked, but this is an example.

02:52If you want to go back to the off season where obviously Giolito was very good.

02:56These players are available for one year deals too.
