00:002 1, один of the teams to know what's going on,
00:02but look kind of felt like he did that on his own.
00:05It's a right moment.
00:06That was the guess up here.
00:08It's a beautiful bunt too.
00:09He's a good bunner.
00:14It's a phrase not used very often these days in baseball.
00:18Guy's a good bunner.
00:202-2.
00:24Cora has long been the kind of manager that gives us a lot of freedom
00:28Субтитры делал DimaTorzok
00:58Субтитры делал DimaTorzok
01:37Сейдан 0-4-1, with a ground out.
01:45Kind of buy him there.
01:47He wanted that shadow now.
01:48It was just over home plate.
01:50Now it's kind of creeping out halfway to the mound.
01:53See it there, singers in the sun.
01:55And that swing looked like he wasn't seeing the ball very well.
01:59Yes.
02:01Roman Anthony on deck.
02:02Should it get that far?
02:034-1 Cincinnati.
02:05In the top of the fourth.
02:101-2.
02:14Singer, 29 years old.
02:17Florida native.
02:19Was a great college pitcher at the University of Florida.
02:22Led them to a college World Series championship.
02:25A little fisted looper into center field.
02:28Dropping, dropping it in for a hit.
02:30Narvaez will stop at second.
02:32That's trying to do with two here in the fourth inning.
02:35Back-to-back singles.
02:36And here comes Roman.
02:44Boy, he sort of fights this thing off.
02:46It's on top of the zone.
02:49It's even that hit he had yesterday to knock in Marcel.
02:51That was actually a ball on top of the zone.
02:54He gets on top of this one.
02:55And Knopf drops in front of Friedel.
02:57Give Marcelo an opportunity to get this team right back in it with one swing.
03:00And Cedon with three hits in the first couple of games.
03:03Roman looking for his first hit today.
03:06He's 0-2.
03:09Has two ducks on the pond.
03:13Ground ball base hit into right field.
03:16Narvaez hitting third.
03:18Benson up and gunning.
03:19Here's the play.
03:21The plate's going to be cut off.
03:22And the Red Sox grab another run.
03:25Sade on down to third.
03:27Roman Anthony with his fourth hit of the season.
03:31And as he finds the hole wide open on the right side.
03:34Red Sox with three consecutive hits.
03:36It's a 4-2 game.
03:37Boy, you love to see it with two outs.
03:38Remember, everybody's walking off the field.
03:40They thought it was strike three to Narvaez.
03:43Singer didn't get the call.
03:45And then three consecutive hits.
03:48Janavi busted around third base to beat this throw from Benson.
03:51And they got a little action going on here.
03:56Two out rallies.
03:58Yeah, and for Cincinnati, a little tension all of a sudden on the mound.
04:04Age 21 or younger.
04:06Four hits in the first couple of games of his season.
04:11It's a short list.
04:12It's a very short list.
04:13Yes.
04:14There's that 21, that first column, 21.
04:17And these are names you know.
04:19Yeah.
04:21Some guys who did a few things.
04:23First and third now for Trevor Story, who belted a home run on the third inning.
04:27His first of the year.
04:29Red Sox first of the year.
04:30Now he has runners on the corners with two down.
04:37And it looks at a strike.
04:43People get loose out in that bullpen for since you mentioned his last out.
04:46He only won 50 pitches on Monday.
04:49Did Singer four innings?
04:50A lot of these guys were short as far as innings go in spring training.
04:54That's 670 pitch here.
04:55The third inning.
04:57He's down to Joel Cashier.
05:04Raffaella at third.
05:06Roman Anthony at first.
05:09Story trying to make it four consecutive hits.
05:12And a strike.
05:20Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok.
05:43Yeah, a 1-2 pitch.
06:01Duran would hit next, given the opportunity.
06:05Brady Singer with a 2-2.
06:09Bounced it right through everybody.
06:11That'll cost him a run.
06:12Sadon is in.
06:14Anthony down is second.
06:15And this is a one-run game.
06:18On a wild pitch from Brady Singer.
06:23That's big, especially with two outs.
06:25Kind of just get that free, right, without needing to knock.
06:29This looks like that breaking ball.
06:31Ends up hitting Trevino's bare hand.
06:32And he just didn't really move over there to the right.
06:38Still one more out there.
06:41And that's Roman Anthony standing at second.
06:46Story looking for a second RBI and as many at-bats.
06:50And that's strike three.
06:54Story hopping there.
06:55But the Red Sox are out of challenges in any event.
06:57They do grab a couple.
06:58It's 4-3 Cincinnati.
07:01Game 4-3 here in the fourth inning.
07:04Lou Maloney, Dave O'Brien, Jemiah Webster, Sonny Gray back at it against the very bottom of the order.
07:09And Hayes, the number nine hitter.
07:11Let's go back to the strikeout of Trevor Story.
07:13You see what this ball is.
07:15Two strikes and a big spot.
07:16Down and away.
07:17You'd love to be able to challenge it, but you burned it.
07:19I think you look back at this game and that'll be a big topic of discussion.
07:23Just in that clubhouse, talking to some of the guys.
07:26You've got to know who the umpire is, right?
07:28Oh, do you?
07:29CB Buckner's behind the plate.
07:31You want to be out of challenges after the second?
07:33That's it.
07:34I don't.
07:38Trevor Story, the way he reacted, he knew it was egregious.
07:43But Hayes reached on an error and scored.
07:46He'll swing at this one and pop it up into left center.
07:50Sadon moving in.
07:53Now, number one, Amanda Sonny Gray, you need a quick inning.
07:56Yeah.
07:57You know, the one you look at, and I get what Narby was trying to do.
08:00Sonny had a tough first.
08:02So say Trevino, right, leading off the second inning.
08:05And you used one, you lost it.
08:10And rolling came back in that second inning, used again, and it's over.
08:13It's like Danny Coulomb getting up.
08:18And on top of the other, Friedel, who is singled and grounded out.
08:26Boxcora talked about it in the early part of spring training,
08:29the need to be a little judicious with when you use those challenges.
08:37And as we say, particularly knowing who the home plate umpire is in C.B. Buckner on this day.
08:46In there for strike.
08:48I mean, they leave it up to the players.
08:50You know, they've talked about strategy, when to use it.
08:53I don't know if they put anybody on probation, because they missed a couple, right?
08:57But it'll just be a discussion.
09:00It's new to everybody.
09:02I'd love to know who is now on ABS punishment, right?
09:07Who's suspended from usage for, like, a series?
09:10I would think you'd jump on a probation list before you're fully suspended for, like, a week.
09:14Yes.
09:18I'm not putting Roman Anthony on probation ever.
09:21And a 1-2.
09:22Cut on and missed.
09:24Down he goes.
09:26Two up and two down.
09:28As he sends Friedel back to the bench.
09:31Does that sweeper show a little more plate?
09:36And he's down.
09:37Gets a good swing and miss.
09:40Opening day.
09:41Maybe he just didn't feel that sweeper.
09:42He's not going to be long for this game.
09:43But he just didn't feel the sweeper, the curveball early.
09:46It's kind of like his money.
09:47His next outing will be opening day at Fenway.
09:49You get a quick one here.
09:51Get a 1-2-3 in the fourth.
09:53He'd buy himself another inning.
09:57McClain has been troubled, though.
09:59He's walked.
09:59He's also doubled and scored.
10:014-3 Cincinnati.
10:05Two out bases empty.
10:10Do you have a buddy weigh in on the Johnny Bench topic?
10:12How many baseballs did he actually hold in one hand?
10:15Seven.
10:16Seven.
10:16From the legend John Dennis himself.
10:18That's pretty good.
10:19Seven.
10:21That's not bad.
10:22That's a lot of baseball.
10:24It's a big hand.
10:280-2 wrapped up the middle base hit.
10:30So McClain continues to be a thorn as he reaches for the third consecutive time.
10:36And that means Dela Cruz will swing.
10:40Coulain was thrown to the bullpen.
10:45That's not where you're looking at 0-2, right?
10:47That's not really him.
10:49Don't show too much of the play.
10:51Two-strike pitch.
10:53Thought maybe go to him here and get Ellie from the right side.
10:57Some more dangerous from the left.
11:00He is 0-2.
11:07Dela Cruz is grounded out and he's been called out on the third straight.
11:25McClain at first and the 1-0.
11:33So Gray up to 78 pitches through 35 in the first inning.
11:45Sal Stewart on deck.
11:49In for strike.
11:55Cincinnati six hits.
11:57Red Sox with five.
11:59Both teams with a home run.
12:06And Gray home with a 2-1.
12:08Runner goes.
12:10Throw down.
12:10It skips.
12:11The tag.
12:12And he's out.
12:14Trevor Story with the scoop.
12:17And Narvaez nails him.
12:19The man who led the big leagues last year and caught stealings.
12:23And there will be no challenge from Terry Francona.
12:26It's a big out for Sonny, too, to get through that fourth.
12:28See if he comes out in the fifth or not.
12:31He's at the lowest prices.
12:33So, of the four runs, three earned.
12:35Five strikeouts.
12:37And 80 pitches.
12:41As Jaron Duran will open up the fifth inning with the Red Sox down a run.
12:45And we'll see 80 pitches.
12:47He makes that play at the plate.
12:50Should have got an out there instead of a run.
12:53It's an error behind him.
12:54It was a grind.
12:57Yeah, in particular to that first inning.
13:00Sam Maul out of the bullpen for the second consecutive game in this series for Cincinnati.
13:06He threw a scoreless inning last night with a strikeout.
13:10Or opening day, you should see.
13:12Fastball 94.
13:13A little sinker sweeper.
13:14This is a big pitch.
13:17Duran hit by a pitch and a whiff today.
13:23Duran, Contreras, Abreus, a 3-4-5 for Boston.
13:26That's what I'm talking about.
13:27You got a guy like this, right, with a nasty sweeper.
13:30Probably getting a 3-0 fastball.
13:32Then he sweeps sweep after that.
13:37And we'll see.
13:44Duran off to a nice start.
13:45Stealing bases, 2-4-2.
13:50Good count here for him.
13:52In play, a little topper to McClain.
13:56One down.
14:00And Contreras will be next.
14:02Inning five, powered by Salem Five Bank.
14:06Got the fastball again.
14:073-1.
14:08Just got underneath it.
14:10Great view of the ballpark here.
14:12Great American ballpark.
14:16Known to be a hitter's haven.
14:20And Contreras, two walks today for Wilson.
14:23And he gets drilled.
14:27So, the Sox have a base runner.
14:29Second hit batsman for the Sox today.
14:36Sweeper in.
14:37And it's a big on-base percentage day for Wilson Contreras.
14:41A couple walks, hits batsman.
14:45Right off that thigh.
14:52And Abreu all for two.
14:55And then Willier looks at a strike.
15:00Boy, you're going to face lefties this year.
15:02This is always the big spot.
15:03The lefty on lefty out of the bullpen.
15:06Those guys, they're jobs to get lefties out.
15:14Probably had the best game of his entire 2025 season against Cincinnati last June.
15:23He had a five-RBI game against the Reds.
15:26That was the game, you remember, he had the inside to Parker and the Grand Slam in the same game.
15:33And Fenway, here's the 1-1.
15:39That's a good take.
15:41That 1-1 count.
15:43It's the most important count of a hitter I have.
15:45You're always in it.
15:46And you're either 1-2 if you swing at this pitch.
15:49Lay off the sweeper away.
15:50Now you get back into a good hitter's count.
15:522-1.
15:57Good cut.
15:582-2.
16:01He had a hack.
16:03Yeah, he had this pitch too.
16:04That's the pitch you earned.
16:05Laid off that sweep.
16:07He earned that fastball.
16:07He just missed it.
16:10Contreras, the base runner.
16:124-3 Cincinnati.
16:16A lot of shadow on the diamond.
16:20Game beginning just after 4 o'clock.
16:27And the lefties 2-2.
16:36The way this lineup is right now.
16:38You look at Story, Contreras, and Durbin.
16:40In between a lot of lefties.
16:43You're going to see a lot of lefties out of pens against this lineup.
16:46Those three guys become very important.
16:49As well as getting production out of your lefties off them.
16:54Well, you're granted a time by Buckner.
17:08And the ball with a 2-2.
17:16And the ball with a 2-2.
17:25Opening day at Fenway.
17:26It's Friday, April 3rd.
17:27You can grab your tickets at RedSox.com slash tickets.
17:36So, Caleb Durbin looking for his first hit.
17:41Over five as a member of the Red Sox.
17:44Sox have had two hit batsmen.
17:46This is a guy who gets hit a lot.
17:49I mean, a ton.
17:50Last year, 24 times with Milwaukee.
17:53That led the National League.
17:55He's a magnet.
17:56That is a lot.
18:00Doesn't dive as much as someone I would think would get hit as much as he does.
18:09Two away.
18:17Look at that.
18:18The Rosarena.
18:19The Travers another one.
18:21We just signed guys that get drilled.
18:23Yes.
18:26Wilson's living up to that today.
18:32Popped up into left.
18:33Not deep.
18:34Coming in.
18:34Steer.
18:35In the sunshine.
18:38Four out.
18:38Number three.
18:39Red Sox lead one.
18:44Greg Weiser taking the mound here for the Red Sox.
18:47In for Sonny Gray.
18:48Take a look at his arsenals.
18:49Presented by the New England area Audi dealers.
18:53Got that four-seam fastball sinker heavy.
18:55Also got that slider-sweeper combo.
18:57The changeup.
18:58Really good pitch for him against lefties.
19:02Going after Ellie De La Cruz to open up the fifth inning.
19:06He'll swat at this and drive that one deep to right field.
19:09Sailing back and gone.
19:11On the very first pitch that Weiser delivers.
19:22Ellie De La Cruz was first home run of the season.
19:25I'm going to get 5-3 Cincinnati.
19:28His second round tripper of the afternoon.
19:33He did not wait around.
19:35No, he certainly didn't.
19:37He mentioned from the left side.
19:39Much better hitter.
19:41More power from the left side.
19:42Weiser coming at him first pitch.
19:44He's just spinning a little slider in there on him.
19:49Probably wasn't thinking he'd get that kind of swing on that first pitch.
19:53Weiser gave up one home run in the last 28 appearances last year.
19:59And now Stewart, who homered his last time up.
20:03He's two for two.
20:07He's just first pitch coming out of nowhere.
20:09A little slider for a strike.
20:11Thanks for coming.
20:17Weiser is fantastic in the WBC.
20:21For Team Italy.
20:23Cut on and missed.
20:25Weiser is Italian.
20:27I needed you to tell me that.
20:29I mean, it was great closing for them.
20:31Big spots too, right?
20:33Going up against Judge and Team USA.
20:35Closing that out.
20:37He moved over to the right side of the rubber again,
20:39which is where he was a few years back.
20:41Trying to make more uncomfortable for righties.
20:45A little three-quarter delivery and a sweeper.
20:53And the changeup that he has now has really developed in the last year.
20:56He likes, kind of can attack lefties now.
20:59He can get back to that right side.
21:01Still be tough on righties.
21:051-2 to Stewart.
21:08And Pop Fowler to play his grandmother, by the way.
21:13Italian.
21:15It was the open door for him to pitch for Team Italy.
21:17Yeah, he said he had to go over his grandmother's house
21:20and go through some drawers in the basement
21:23to try to find anything they could to prove it.
21:28Dying to know what he found.
21:29The 1-2 off the plate.
21:32He needed the paperwork.
21:33Got to have the documentation.
21:39He had a good run with that team.
21:43Red Sox up and down.
21:44Had outstanding performances in the World Baseball Classic.
21:47Flick foul.
21:515-3 Cincinnati.
21:54Last half of the fifth inning.
22:02Talented young hitter here.
22:03The rookie, Stewart.
22:05They bat him fourth.
22:07He brought him up in September last year to get a look.
22:11And he hit five home runs in the last month
22:13after hitting 28 in the minors.
22:17Tito, very fond of him.
22:20He's hitting the way he hit and don't like him a lot more.
22:23Here's the eighth pitch.
22:26Stroke to the right center field.
22:28Sadon with the run to the alley to cut that down.
22:32It's dangerous.
22:36T-Mobile members get free MLB TV redeem at T-Mobile.com slash MLB.
22:47If you keep it in the park, Sidon's going to get it.
22:50Saw that last year winning the gold glove out there in center.
22:58And Eugenio Suarez is an RBI and has a base hit today.
23:14Reds seven hits.
23:15Sox have five.
23:17The 0-1.
23:19Chopped along third foul.
23:21And Weissert's going to be a guy just like we saw Slayton yesterday.
23:24Big part of this bullpen.
23:26You know, you got Witt, you got Chapman,
23:27but it's going to be Weissert and Slayton.
23:30He's getting the fifth here because of where we are in the order.
23:323-4-5.
23:34So it didn't start well with De La Cruz,
23:36but they have confidence in him and rightfully so.
23:43And if you're just tuning in,
23:44Red Sox have been chasing all afternoon.
23:46They got behind 2-0 in the first inning.
23:493-0 after 2.
23:514-1 after 3.
23:56Sonny Gray went the first four innings in his Red Sox debut.
24:01And charged with four runs, three earned.
24:05So it's going to be a long afternoon for the pen.
24:10And as the Red Sox try and fight their way back again.
24:17And Weissert's 1-2.
24:19And struck him out.
24:21Caught him looking.
24:23Two down.
24:26That's just good execution.
24:28A little sinker in on him.
24:29Pitch before.
24:30Now he just paints away that 95.
24:32Look at that spot.
24:34Four seamer.
24:38A little sinker away.
24:40He'll come back.
24:43Brings up Spencer Stero for two of the K.
24:53Red Sox here.
24:54One more day on Sunday.
24:56Then on to Houston.
25:00To take on the Astros of Jordan Alvarez.
25:04Did you see what he did the other day?
25:06The roof, huh?
25:07He hit the roof in Houston.
25:11I didn't even know you could do that.
25:13I like facing that team more last year when he wasn't in the lineup.
25:17Yes.
25:18Funny how that happens.
25:19Seems a lot more enjoyable.
25:21And then Red Sox home to face the San Diego Padres.
25:28Sure it'll be warm and toasty.
25:31Or not.
25:32Coming to the ballpark.
25:33Bundle up, man.
25:35We praying for a day like this, huh?
25:3750 degrees and sunny.
25:39Ain't kidding, man.
25:40Take this and run.
25:433-0 now on Steer.
25:46And he'll take four straight to miss.
25:51He's on with ball four and Benson's next.
25:57He has gone over two of the strikeout and a ground ball back to the mound.
26:01And here comes Bailey.
26:02Andrew Bailey.
26:06Sox pitching coach marching out to chat with Weiser.
26:20Donate like new youth baseball and softball equipment to any Jordan's furniture location
26:24through their double play program.
26:26All to benefit the Red Sox Foundation's Nike RBI program.
26:30Donations open until April 12th.
26:42So Benson to dig in here against Weiser, the home run in the inning by Dela Cruz.
26:49And making it a two-run advantage for Cincinnati.
26:55Steer off the bag at first.
27:08And the American League champion, Toronto Blue Jays, played their opener yesterday
27:14and walked off a win.
27:17Very dramatic finish again for the Blue Jays.
27:20That's all they had at the end of last year.
27:23On into the World Series, of course.
27:27That World Series, in the minds of so many, jumped into, like, a top three all time.
27:34It was fantastic.
27:37Blue Jays just inches away from winning it.
27:43Dodgers winning again.
27:461-1.
27:47Moved him back a bit.
27:49Runner back to first base, Steer.
27:522-1.
27:55That one, for me, will be the all-timer, 1975.
27:58I don't think that'll ever change.
28:01There have been some great ones since 75.
28:03Last year, the 91 World Series between Atlanta and the Twins.
28:08Handful of others.
28:10Line drive at a base hit.
28:13Abrega will charge in, heading on to third, Steer.
28:17And Weiser having trouble getting out of this inning.
28:21First and third for the Reds.
28:2922 pitchers here for Weiser.
28:31Got Trevino here and get ahead.
28:34Try to finish this thing off here and keep it right where it is.
28:38Trevino's gone over to it.
28:39Struck out looking and grounded out to first.
28:41First, Bailey on the horn.
28:49And Weiser trying to pin down his third out without any more damage.
28:55And strike one.
29:01I don't remember that 75 World Series too much.
29:05It's only about four.
29:08It's kind of weak.
29:0986 is probably my first memory.
29:11A little weak.
29:11Oh, yeah.
29:1186.
29:12That was a good one.
29:15Last year's was epic.
29:17A lot of fun to watch.
29:22And Miranda lefty in the pen.
29:27That's one thing with the lefties you got out there.
29:29He and Coulomb.
29:30They're good against lefties.
29:32Both of them.
29:32It'll be just as tough, if not tougher, versus righties.
29:36Miranda with that changeup.
29:41Two on, two out, two strikes here on Trevino.
29:46Narvaez had to lunge to keep that one around the plate.
29:50Nice job by Carlos.
29:51He had to go a long way for this one.
30:01Weiser at 25 pitches.
30:05So, a bit of a struggle here in his season debut.
30:09And a one-two pitch.
30:13Have to work a little more.
30:14Two and two.
30:25Two down and a two-two home.
30:30In there for strike three.
30:33Caught him looking.
30:34One run home.
30:35Five-three the Reds.
30:38That inning, Weiser, again, fastball up and away.
30:40The Trevino doesn't try challenging.
30:42It's clearly out of the zone.
30:44Again, some of these veterans, I think, sometimes
30:46take a step or two back to the dugout
30:48and remember that they can challenge.
30:52A pitching change as Johnson comes out of the bullpen for Cincinnati.
30:57Marcello lifting that one into the left field for a quick out.
31:00Steer with a catch.
31:02Marcello Meyer today won for three in the first out in the sixth.
31:08Johnson was the guy that Marcello drove to the double off of.
31:12Ended up scoring a run opening night.
31:17Now, Marcello is one for two.
31:19Single as last time up.
31:20went to på at the Shadalda Kop.
31:23And would score a run Red Sox got two back in that fourth inning.
31:29Made it a one run game now 5 3 Reds in the sixth.
31:34With Rafael on deck
31:37against Pierce Johnson.
31:38Second time Red Sox have seen this guy in the series.
31:41Yeah.
31:41Two-pitch guy.
31:42Fastball sit right around there 95.
31:46Got a hard little curve ball at 88.
31:48Субтитры делал DimaTorzok
32:19Субтитры делал DimaTorzok
32:52Субтитры делал DimaTorzok
33:00One out one on for the Sox in the sixth
33:06And fouled back out of play
33:11Sidon with a nose for the big hit last year
33:14A pair of two-run walk-off home runs in the ninth
33:17He had a walk-off triple
33:19To clinch a playoff berth on September 26th against Detroit
33:280-2
33:31Fly to right field not deep
33:33Benson
33:35To make the catch two down
33:37Top of the order Roman Anthony
33:42And Terry Francona out of his dugout
33:52Roman with one hit so far today
33:55One for three but will not face
33:57The right-hander in Pierce Johnson
34:01Ashcraft coming on
34:02We'll take the break
34:035-3 the Reds in front
34:05Top of the sixth inning
34:06Two down
34:06Redsox.com slash Red Sox Nation
34:09Graham Ashcraft
34:11Hard-throwing right-hander
34:14Second appearance in the series
34:18And inherits a base runner with Roman Anthony at the plate
34:22Roman representing the tying run
34:26Saw this kid opening day
34:27101
34:28Cutter
34:29Another slider
34:3091 to go with it
34:36Two down
34:38And a chopper to the right side
34:39And McClain with a routine play
34:42Retires the side
34:43One hit
34:45One left
34:45In the middle of the sixth
34:51704.com
34:53Slash local call
34:54To the bullpen
34:56Danny Coulomb
34:57The veteran lefty
34:58Had a good year
34:59Last year
35:00Split in time between
35:02Minnesota and Texas
35:04At a 230
35:05Burn run average
35:06Yeah he was fantastic
35:08Out in Minnesota
35:09Before the trade
35:10He had a 1-1-6
35:12And 40 appearances
35:13For the twins
35:14Went over to Texas
35:15Last 15
35:15Five and a quarter
35:16ERA
35:18Didn't throw the ball
35:19As well as he did
35:20In Minnesota
35:21But this is one of those guys
35:22Like I mentioned
35:23Lefty's 225
35:24But righty's
35:24He's 188 off of him
35:27Likes to cut the ball
35:28In on him
35:30Good cutter
35:32Now brand new to Red Sox
35:33This year
35:33And takes on
35:34Key Brian Hayes
35:35Right hand batter
35:36He's reached on an error
35:37And flied out
35:395-3 Cincinnati
35:40They about hit the Red Sox
35:428-6
35:42Red Sox have made
35:43The only error today
35:49Now the 0-1
35:51Lofted to right
35:52A play for the goal
35:54Glover
35:54Abreu
35:57And a fast out
35:58In the bottom of the sixth
35:59Kulom late signing
36:01He only had a couple
36:01Appearances for the Red Sox
36:04Wednesday that last day
36:06When he broke
36:07He was in the backfield
36:08Through an inning
36:09He's trying to get
36:10Another inning in
36:12Fastball's not going to
36:12Blow you away
36:1390-91
36:14Saw the cutter there
36:15Early
36:16He's got a sweeper
36:16To go with it
36:20T.J. Friedel
36:211-4-3
36:25Sean
36:25A bunt
36:26Takes a strike
36:28Kulom
36:28Since the start
36:29Of 2022
36:30Leads all lefties
36:32In ERA
36:33At 2.38
36:42Threw everybody
36:43To the backstop
36:44Friedel's the guy
36:45Who started it
36:46In the first inning
36:46Against Sonny Gray
36:47With a base hit
36:49Leading off for them
36:50And then he stole
36:51Second base
36:52He would score
36:53As they got two
36:53In the first inning
36:54They got another run
36:55In the second
36:57Red Sox have been
36:59Behind all day
37:031-1
37:04Tried to drag
37:05A bunt
37:06And fouled it
37:07Away
37:10And
37:13Got a piece
37:14Of his foot
37:15I see Friedel
37:16Is going to try
37:16To bring that
37:17With him
37:17You know
37:18Kulom's way
37:18On that third
37:19Base side
37:19Of the rubber
37:20You see
37:20The way
37:20He falls
37:21Off the mound
37:22A lot
37:23Of momentum
37:23Going to
37:24Third base
37:26A bunner
37:27Like Friedel
37:27He's going to
37:27Kind of test
37:28Contreras
37:29At first
37:30And see
37:31If he can
37:31Just beat
37:31Kulom
37:32To the back
37:41Friedel
37:42Pretty good
37:42Little leadoff
37:43Man
37:43He's 5-8
37:46Had a
37:47364
37:47Leadoff
37:48On base
37:48Percentage
37:49Last year
37:55Matt McClain
37:56On deck
37:56And a 2-2
37:59And that's
38:00Strike three
38:02Two down
38:06Let's go pitch
38:07Get the outside
38:08Corner
38:09Looks like there's
38:10More of that
38:10Cutter
38:11Of his
38:1486
38:15Right
38:15On the
38:16Black
38:21And
38:22Buckner
38:23Rings him up
38:23McClain
38:25Has been a pain
38:26With a walk
38:27A double
38:28And a single
38:28And he's got himself
38:30Another base hit
38:31So he's three for three
38:34He has been a pain
38:35In the neck
38:38And that gets
38:39The inning
38:39To De La Cruz
38:40Who homered
38:41His last time
38:41Up
38:44McClain
38:45Swinging it here
38:46Kind of continuing
38:47What he was doing
38:47All camp
38:48Doesn't wait around
38:49Gets that first pitch
38:50Fastball
38:51Right on the story's head
38:54Three for three
38:55Perfect day for him
38:56With a walk
38:59De La Cruz
38:59One for three
39:00With the home run
39:01In the fifth inning
39:03Off Weissert
39:04Down the right field line
39:06His first of the year
39:08He meant your
39:08Frito at 5'8
39:10The way the ABS
39:11System works
39:12It goes off your height
39:13Not your batting stance
39:15So the top of the zone
39:17Is 53.5%
39:19Of your height
39:19The bottom of the zone
39:21Is 27%
39:22Into your height
39:24So it's one of those times
39:25Where those of us
39:26That are vertically challenged
39:28Don't mind being short
39:29I get to create
39:31A smaller strike zone
39:33For someone like Ellie
39:34It's a little bit bigger
39:41Got to be careful with him
39:43Good power
39:45Two down
39:45A man on
39:49Tried to hold up
39:50And he did
40:01Reds up two
40:02In the sixth
40:06And then the lefties
40:071-0
40:09Will be a strike
40:11Going to be a challenge here
40:15That is challenging the pitch
40:19ABS powered by T-Mobile
40:23And a ball
40:26This is a ball
40:27Cincinnati has two challenges
40:29I haven't used one up yet
40:33So why not
40:35Surprised Torino
40:36And then used one up the
40:38Inning before
40:44Figured there would be a lot
40:45Of challenges today
40:47Count goes to 3-0
40:50I mean they got so much information
40:51On these umpires too
40:52They know what the weaknesses are
40:54Right
40:54You might miss the balls down
40:55Or up
40:56Or in or out
41:01Dela Cruz taking 3-1
41:08Sox will have due up
41:09When we go to the seventh story
41:11Duran and Contreras
41:12If anybody reaches Abreu
41:18Well he took himself a cut there
41:20Bit of a wild swing
41:223-2
41:24You see that sweeper
41:25From Coulomb
41:26It's not
41:28Very sweeper
41:29You know
41:30It doesn't go side to side
41:31All that much
41:32So right
41:33Like a downward break
41:36Sweeper-ish
41:383-2
41:39Bounced it
41:39Ball four
41:42So
41:42Ellie will take the walk
41:44McClain down to second
41:46Stack has 3-D
41:47Powered by Google Cloud
41:48Brings up our dangerous
41:49Sal Stewart
41:50This was leading off
41:51Back in the third
41:54First pitch
41:55Fastball up
41:56From Sonny Gray
41:573-99
41:58To right center field
42:01That was the fourth run
42:03But it doesn't look
42:04He's gonna have a chance
42:06To face him
42:06Ryan Watson
42:07The righty
42:08About to be brought in
42:10He'll make his Red Sox debut
42:12To take on Stewart
42:13We'll take the break
42:145
42:16This is right-hander
42:17Ryan Watson
42:18He is 28 years old
42:216'5
42:21237
42:22This is his Major League debut
42:24Yeah
42:24The Red Sox acquired him
42:25In a trade
42:27From the Rule 5 draft
42:28The A's took him
42:29From the Giants
42:30And the Red Sox later
42:32That day
42:33Traded for him
42:34So
42:34Rule 5 guys
42:35As we've seen
42:36Guys like Whitlock
42:36And Slayton
42:37You gotta stay on the team
42:38All year
42:38Return them
42:40He finished strong
42:41In camp
42:41After admittedly
42:42Kind of put a little bit
42:43Too much pressure
42:43On him early on
42:44Threw the ball well
42:45At the end
42:45So
42:47Make that Major League debut
42:49Get it out of the way here
42:52And the pride of Auburn University
42:55Where he graduated
42:57First and second
42:58Two down
42:59And a dangerous hitter
43:00Here in South
43:01Stewart
43:04He's belted a home run
43:05Today
43:05And singled
43:06There's a couple of RBIs
43:07That's good fastball
43:08He can sit around
43:0995-96
43:10He's had a little sweeper
43:11There
43:13That's around
43:13A little split
43:14Set to go in camp
43:21They will appeal
43:22And a swing and a miss
43:25One ball
43:26One strike
43:29That's another pitch
43:30To sinker
43:31Used to be just more so
43:32Four seamer
43:33But throwing little sinkers
43:33And splits
43:35In camp
43:35Introducing a few more pitches
43:37Good movement on that one
43:39Wants in a big guy
43:411-1
43:44Ninety-four miles an hour
43:46With that four seam fastball
43:49McClain at second
43:50Dela Cruz on at first
44:00And Watson with a 2-1
44:02And knocked to the left of the plate
44:04By Narvaez
44:05But no advance
44:073-1
44:12Ryan
44:13During that workout
44:14On the off day
44:16Kind of got to the park early
44:17See that little spinner
44:18Kind of backed up on him
44:19That's why Narvaez
44:20Had some trouble with it
44:21But just
44:21Taking it all in
44:23As every rookie
44:25In his first
44:25Big league day should
44:313-1
44:33And did he offer
44:34Yeah he did
44:35That's it
44:36Stewart had flipped the bat
44:38Got to come back now
44:39It's a full count
44:41Three and two
44:43He's had a couple of check swings
44:45He's disagree with
44:46That one there
44:46The barrel did go
44:58So Watson
45:00Not taking it all in right now
45:02He needs a K
45:04Trying to end this threat
45:07And a 3-2 pitch
45:14Right back to it
45:19A dangerous hitter
45:20And Suarez on deck
45:22So you don't want to give in
45:24You've already seen what this kid could do
45:25The last couple days
45:297th pitch of the at-bat
45:30Coming up
45:34Ryan Watson
45:35Major League debut
45:38Runners will be taken off on the pitch
45:43And he left it low for ball four and that's going to load him up
45:48All filled up for Suarez
45:51Their big ticket free agent
45:53Bringing him back
45:54To Cincinnati
45:56Where he spent seven years
46:00Does have a hit today
46:02Has an RBI as well
46:03But
46:04They're paying him to hit the ball
46:06Out of the ballpark
46:07So it has that feel too
46:08At this moment
46:09You want to stay in this ballgame
46:10You've got to get Suarez right here
46:14It's getting late
46:17No place to put him
46:19I read at every base
46:20With two down
46:22And in there
46:23And again
46:23Mishandled by Narvaez
46:25But no advance
46:28Strike one
46:31This is one of those two
46:32You never really know
46:34How often Narvaez
46:36Is caught Watson
46:37In can
46:37Right
46:38Comes in the middle of the games
46:39End of games
46:42So far
46:43He has not looked entirely comfortable
46:44There's the 0-1
46:46Now it tied him up big time
46:470-2
46:48Really good sinker
46:50Took off down and in
46:54See this run underneath the barrel
46:57Tied him up
46:59Great power home plate
47:01But a man who strikes out frequently
47:04Watson
47:06High fly down to right field line
47:08But slicing away
47:09Foul
47:13A little too good
47:14With two strikes
47:15I think Narvaez wanted that ball
47:17Up out of the zone
47:18Go get your first strike
47:20Go right here
47:22Eight career grand slams
47:24For Suarez
47:32McClain at third
47:32Dela Cruz at second
47:34Stewart at first
47:360-2
47:39Missed
47:41That's a good 0-2 there though
47:44That's the one he swung underneath earlier
47:46Put it right in the same spot
47:54Well
47:54This is certainly the moment of the game
47:57To this point
47:58Here comes the 1-2
47:59And in there
48:01Struck him out
48:02Now they're going to challenge this
48:07Batters challenging the pitch
48:25Not missing by much
48:26No
48:27One thing is talking about the ABS challenge
48:29And he might have to figure out these umpires pretty good
48:32Three tenths of an inch
48:35So two and two
48:37ABS powered by T-Mobile
48:41He'll try again
48:45And that's in there
48:46And he's going to challenge that one as well
48:49Another challenge at home plate
48:51Batters challenging the pitch
48:53That one got the point
48:57Let us see
49:00That's a ball
49:02ABS powered by T-Mobile
49:06An inch off
49:09Well we saw a challenge last night from Roman Anthony
49:11Go his way
49:13That kind of really opened the game up
49:16Watson trying to finish off Suarez
49:19Man it really has changed the game
49:22So
49:23It's a full count
49:24Bases loaded
49:25Two down
49:26Back-to-back challenges
49:28Won by Suarez
49:32And a 3-2 from Watson
49:34Up the middle
49:35Little tapper
49:36Meyer across his body
49:38Got it there in time
49:40And Watson gets out of it
49:42Despite a lot going against him
49:45A big play by Marcelo
49:47Showing range
49:48Strong arm to first base
49:51You know we're talking
49:52During the commercial break
49:54About the added drama
49:56Of ABS
49:57And what it has meant
49:59In these opening days of the season
50:02You talk about adding additional drama
50:05And tension
50:07Strategy
50:10On to the 7th
50:11Although we liked it a lot better on Thursday
50:15By the way
50:16A little hat tip to Ryan Watson
50:17I mean this is Major League debut
50:20He thought he struck him out twice
50:22He's got to stay out in that mound
50:233-2
50:24And continued
50:24To throw a strike
50:26To get him
50:27You know how easy it is
50:28To bounce that ball
50:29It's a big pitch
50:31It's in for a strike
50:32And Trevor Story
50:33Be a little rattled
50:34Of course beautiful play
50:35By Marcelo too
50:36Up the middle
50:39He's so smooth
50:42And as Watson
50:45Kind of Mr. Watson to the rescue on that one
50:48Trevor Story with a home run back in the 30
50:51Red Sox are trailing 5-3 here in the 7th
50:54He hit the first Red Sox home run of the year
50:57He'll be followed by Duran and then Contreras
51:00That's 2-3-4
51:06Ashcraft
51:09You can bring it at 100
51:12He got him to commit
51:13And that's a swing and a miss
51:14Struck him out
51:18One down
51:20That slider
51:23And they got a couple big arms too
51:25We saw Phillips the other guy too
51:26Another one throwing 100
51:30He's went too far in that one
51:35Red Sox have not had a leadoff man
51:37In an inning reach all day
51:43Jaron Duran's been hit by a pitch
51:45Struck out and grounded out to second
51:54Let's go to Jumai
51:55Dave some insightful comments
51:57On playing time and devising his DH plan daily
52:00From Alex Cora today
52:01He said we'll see how it plays out
52:02He doesn't want either Jaron Duran or Roman Anthony
52:04He said to become full-time DHs
52:06And when Sedan doesn't play center field
52:08He said Duran is there
52:09And when Williard doesn't play the field
52:11He'll play Roman Anthony and Wright
52:12Then also have to try to find a place for Masa to fit in
52:15He's expected to start in three of the next five
52:17So there'll be a lot of situations how it plays out
52:20Now the factor core says we'll be taking care of them all physically
52:22He said that's important having the outfielders
52:25So many of them is going to make sure that everyone's fresh when it matters
52:28But says there's no real rhyme or reason to it
52:31No analytical reasons behind who's going to be DH
52:33It's about keeping them all feeling good over the course of the year
52:38Isn't everybody fresh right now?
52:41And that's going to be high and tight for ball four
52:44So Duran reaches for the second time
52:46It's going to be really interesting to see how that plays out
52:49All that playing time for Masa Taka
52:51Yeah, it is
52:53You know, you said they are fresh
52:54But none of these guys have played nine innings in back-to-back
52:58I mean, some of the WBC guys have, right?
53:01Trevor Story hasn't
53:03Sometimes that first week you mix in a day off helps
53:07Wilson Contreras, good day at the plate
53:09Without a hit, he gets knocked down
53:11Zach goes to the backstop
53:13Down to second goes Duran
53:16He's already been drilled once today
53:18With a couple of walks
53:20That one almost got him
53:21That was real close
53:27Again, 97 up
53:29A little bit too high up in that shoulder area
53:42Again, 23 hit by pitches last year
53:46These are the major league leaders
53:47Red Sox have two of them in the lineup
53:51A little sweeper from Maul is one thing
53:5398 at the chins, another
54:00Contreras hitting fourth
54:01Cuts through that one
54:04I knew you were going to have a hack on that pitch
54:11Contreras now first baseman
54:13Was the catcher for the Cubs
54:15In 2016
54:17When they broke their curse
54:19And won it all
54:20Cross for a strike
54:25One and two
54:31Duran at second after the wild pitch
54:36As the Red Sox try and get closer
54:40He's got six years of 20 plus home runs
54:43Always elite when it comes to bat speed
54:46Hits the ball hard
54:51Abreu to hit next
54:56Filed off
54:58I'm going to talk to him
54:59Great talk too
55:02He's a good conversation to have with this guy
55:04Last year playing first base for the first time
55:06Being a catcher the whole career
55:08Kind of just felt like he wasn't in the game
55:10You know, he's so used to dealing with pitchers
55:11It took him a month or so
55:13Not just to figure it out defensively
55:14But offensively it factored into his game too
55:17And after April really took off to it
55:20Got comfortable at first
55:21And started swinging it
55:23I think you take 20 and 80
55:26Down he goes swinging
55:28That one by him
55:32Two down
55:37So now up to William Abreu to pick up this RBI
55:40He's 0 for 3 today
55:45He's lined a third fly to center and popped a third
55:55And looks at strike one
55:57And looks at strike one
56:02So now we're going to take a kick
