00:00The Red Sox are, I, it's not getting better over there.
00:05It's getting worse.
00:05Like the back and forth between Contreras and Marcelo Meyer,
00:11like Marcelo Meyer feels a need to defend himself.
00:15He and the young guys from the veteran guys,
00:20like that's not getting better.
00:24You know what sneaky got under the radar in a way
00:25that I don't think anybody could have envisioned?
00:28Roman Anthony.
00:30Yeah, he's quiet.
00:31Great point.
00:31Like we, in the aftermath of the World Baseball Classic,
00:35I was talking about him like he's the next face of Major League Baseball.
00:40And now he's like not,
00:41he's like part of the faceless frauds of the Red Sox.
00:43Yeah, it's like he clogged the toilet,
00:45but then a tornado hit the house.
00:47Right, exactly.
00:49We all subscribe to what you said.
00:52Rome wasn't built in a day.
00:54Yeah, that is just, it is.
00:56Woo!
00:56What a disaster.
00:57Yeah, that thing fell off the cliff really bad.
01:00Awful.
01:00Yeah.
01:01The only thing I can think of it,
01:02it's not a Boston-centric thing,
01:05but March 17th, 2020,
01:08Brady went to the Bucs,
01:09and then the world ended with the pandemic beginning,
01:11and they canceled all the games.
01:13Greg was patient zero with the Celtics game
01:16when that guy was touching Rudy,
01:18whatever his name was.
01:19Gobert.
01:20Gobert.
01:21That was a pretty dark period.
01:23Ken still hasn't recovered,
01:24but I,
01:25in general,
01:26that was,
01:26you can't have a worse weekend than that.
01:28Well,
01:28and the crazy thing about Roman Anthony is
01:33the projection of his,
01:34like,
01:35height and where everybody was putting him,
01:38like you said,
01:39Curtis,
01:39was like the face of the league.
01:41He was like,
01:43Mike Trout's status.
01:44And then,
01:45they were all,
01:46like Bryce Harper was like talking about him,
01:48like he was Babe Ruth.
01:49And then it's just kind of like,
01:51no one even mentions him now.
01:53Okay.
01:53I mean,
01:54it's,
01:55he hasn't played a full season yet.
01:57Yeah,
01:57but he hadn't played a full season
01:58when he was the talk of the town.
01:59But I,
01:59I bet even if he plays a full season
02:02and he doesn't do great,
02:03I feel like people are just like,
02:05all right,
02:05well,
02:06we swung and missed on that one.
02:08Or can you blame him?
02:09It was such a mess over there.
02:11Yeah.
02:11He has his own built-in excuse.
02:13It just is like,
02:13it just seems like,
02:15not that you should be killing Roman Anthony,
02:17but it just seems like people,
02:20like people,
02:20like you said,
02:21well,
02:22Jay just blew past the stop sign of,
02:24you know,
02:24Roman Anthony,
02:25but the way we were talking about him before the season,
02:27and especially at the world,
02:29after the world baseball class,
02:30I'm sure it doesn't matter because the analytics are great on Roman Anthony.
02:36And that is clearly all that matters.
02:38They are analytics driven and,
02:42and they are,
02:43they're removing anybody that has any kind of baseball acumen whatsoever.
02:49And it's all the spreadsheets.
02:52That is,
02:53and they're going to,
02:55Rezbot's going to live or die by that.
02:57Mm-hmm.
02:58So.
02:58And remember,
02:59we went from over and under on home runs with Roman Anthony,
03:02like,
03:02yeah,
03:02we should move that thing up to about 25.
03:05Curtis,
03:05I was told the pitching operation is an absolute disaster over there.
03:09I think.
03:09The whole operation.
03:10I was told.
03:11I think I may have Gerard mailed myself with Alex Cora and I'd like to get
03:15ahead of it and apologize because he seems to be enjoying himself and all
03:19the players he had issues with clearly are problems.
03:22So they want a couple straight,
03:25you know,
03:25I didn't quite get to the Gatorade bath for Chad Tracy,
03:28but it is,
03:29it's going to get ugly there.
03:31Oh,
03:31yeah.
03:31It's going to get really,
03:33really ugly.
03:35How do you feel about Raphael after that throw,
03:37like throwing his hands up in the air?
03:39Every day.
03:40There's a guy that's more loathsome than the guy that sucked the day before.
03:43I told you,
03:44I asked the question to the baseball,
03:46you know,
03:47hoddles and the guys that have been there before.
03:49Is there any like friction when you start dealing with baseball players?
03:53And I know it's positional players versus pitchers,
03:55players,
03:56pitchers,
03:56and they're like,
03:57no,
03:57but it clearly seems like there's a massive picture on.
04:00no,
04:00I know that that's,
04:01that's a outfielder on infielders.
04:04Yeah.
04:05Cause Story couldn't be bothered to try and attempt a tag.
04:07Right.
04:07That's ass hat on ass hat.
04:09Right.
04:09But that's still like friction.
04:10That's like friction between the quarterback and the wide receiver,
04:13not being on the same page.
04:14Right.
04:15Right.
04:15But it just goes to show you that it's like,
04:17that's like Fitzy versus Ted.
04:19We talked about this divide in the clubhouse and whether it was younger
04:23players with the,
04:24the veteran players,
04:25but it's just starting to rear its ugly head.
04:27But there,
04:28this is how dumb they are.
04:30Like they told us five times that we asked about,
04:34a leadership void.
04:35And they said,
04:36Oh,
04:36that's Wilson Contreras.
04:38And then as soon as Alex Cora's gone,
04:41he's blaming everything on the young guys.
04:43Like.
04:43And Chad Tracy was supposed to be the,
04:46the whisperer to Roman Anthony.
04:48Well,
04:48isn't he just doing what Cora wanted him to do?
04:50I was going to say,
04:51don't you think that is him following Cora's lead?
04:54Like we knew this was,
04:56we knew this was going to happen.
04:57Him story,
04:59Duran.
05:00They're going to be echoing everything Cora was saying.
05:03And then the younger guys are going to be on the other side being like,
05:06what the hell?
05:06The younger guys,
05:07those poor young guys,
05:08they're all,
05:09they are.
05:09They're basically in the bullseye now for all the slings and arrows.
05:12Because when Cora said it was the young guys,
05:15now all these veterans are like,
05:16well,
05:16how the hell are we supposed to do good when these guys don't listen to us?
05:19Yeah.
05:20Meyer and Anthony are like,
05:21when can we get back to Nantucket?
05:23This sucks.
