00:00And the Red Sox have yet another one of those moments where you ask yourself,
00:05is this the lowest point of the season?
00:07Brian Baio, they finally give him a shot to go out there
00:10and see if he can indeed start a game.
00:12And what happens?
00:13He gets absolutely shellacked in that first inning.
00:17I mean, from the first pitch.
00:18First pitch.
00:19You knew that it was going downhill.
00:21He was getting, you know, Navarez kind of tried to come in
00:24and he waved him off.
00:25He goes, no, no, no, no.
00:27And then he just continued to suck.
00:29And, of course, after, through his interpreter,
00:32he ended up basically cursing out everyone who questioned whether or not he could pitch.
00:35He got sent down to Worcester.
00:38So do you think as he was going out, he was cursing the lack of a replay on the 2
00:41-0?
00:42You know, that play at third, like, Trace sucks.
00:44I mean, that's another thing.
00:45Right.
00:46That's another thing you could add to that game.
00:47I mean, it was a late.
00:48And I thought that, you know, Trace was supposed to be like the king of the challenges, right?
00:53Because he's been doing that even longer than they've been thinking of the A-B-S.
00:57Oh, the challenge.
00:59That's right.
00:59All right.
00:59Well, okay.
01:00So here's what we're going to do.
01:01Because we keep saying it's the Red Sox's lowest moment.
01:04But is it really?
01:05So we are going to do a blind ranking.
01:08It's a little experiment here, Stiz.
01:09And I have Jackson over here to my right.
01:12I am going to give you a moment from the 2026 Red Sox season, okay?
01:17And I have 1 through 10, including a bonus.
01:20And you just blindly rank where this lands on the list.
01:24Okay?
01:24You know how this works?
01:25Now, does it start with game one, or can we go all the way back there?
01:28No, I'm going to read you a moment, and you just tell me.
01:31I think that's the third worst moment, or I think that's the fifth worst moment.
01:34Okay.
01:35All right.
01:35Let's start with Sam Kennedy mischaracterizes Roman Anthony's injury.
01:40Where does that go?
01:41Oh, boy.
01:41That's high.
01:42That is high.
01:43Roman is such a defining point of the year.
01:45Two.
01:45That's two.
01:46Ooh.
01:47You think that's two?
01:48All right.
01:48I mean, does that include the injury itself?
01:50Put it down.
01:51You already said he can't take it back now.
01:53All right.
01:53Now we'll jump to Ted.
01:54Next one, Ted.
01:56Theo Epstein rips Craig Breslow a new one.
02:00Oh, I'm going to say that is – that's got to be – that took off, man.
02:07People really obviously care what he thinks.
02:10That's his guy, supposedly, Breslow.
02:12So I'm going to say –
02:14And in the globe.
02:15And in the globe.
02:15Oh, even the globe.
02:16Oh, okay.
02:17Went from five to four now.
02:18Four.
02:18Four.
02:18Okay.
02:19Wow.
02:19Four.
02:19All right.
02:20Yep.
02:20We got some high ones up there.
02:21There's a lot of stuff coming there.
02:23I just want to warn you.
02:24How many items do we have here?
02:26All right.
02:27I mean, we have 11.
02:28There's a bonus.
02:28Okay.
02:29All right.
02:31Jaron Duran picks a fight with Michael Hawley.
02:36Well, Duran's having a pretty good year.
02:37I like Hawley.
02:38Hawley's been proven so right on this.
02:40It's a fun story.
02:40It's unbelievable.
02:42Hawley should be taking a victory lap on this every day.
02:43I'm going to go eight, though.
02:44You're going to go eight.
02:45All right.
02:45Jackson puffed in at number eight.
02:47I love Ted.
02:48I love you, Michael.
02:50That's my guy.
02:51All right, Ted.
02:52John Henry mouths, oh, sell the team.
02:55Oh, yeah.
02:56Yeah.
02:56Yeah.
02:56That's just John being John.
02:58So it was a story for a day.
03:00So I think it's not as nearly important as maybe some other stuff that's going to come up.
03:03So I put that at 10.
03:05Okay.
03:05Number 10.
03:07All right.
03:07Yep.
03:08Ken and the Red Sox 2026 lowest moment blind rankings.
03:13The term driveline is introduced to the public.
03:16Well, that's been a multi-year thing, but it's got elevated this year, if we can say that.
03:20That's pretty high.
03:22I'll at least go five.
03:23Okay.
03:24Number five on that one.
03:25We still have one and three open on the list.
03:29Ted, Schwarber embarrasses the Red Sox at home.
03:32So that's just, you know what, you know, man, compared to when you see how bad the Red Sox are
03:39hitting, I can see that being maybe high.
03:42But I'm going to say it was just for one series.
03:46So it's not as important.
03:47I'm going to go nine.
03:48Oh, number nine.
03:49Okay.
03:49Did you throw Pete Alonzo and many other players in there?
03:52Only had room for one.
03:53Chris Sale coming back.
03:54Yeah.
03:55All right, Ken.
03:56Yeah.
03:56The worst team at ABS challenges by far this season.
04:03I, you know, I don't like the ABS in its current form.
04:05I would go lower than most.
04:07It is embarrassing, but I would put that as low as we have left.
04:10Can I put it in a bonus or seven?
04:12You can put it in a bonus.
04:12You want to?
04:13Yeah, put it in a bonus.
04:13Okay.
04:14ABS bonus.
04:14All right.
04:16It shows the lack of just preparation.
04:19Oh, yeah.
04:19That this team lacks.
04:20It's slow moments.
04:21They suck.
04:22Yep.
04:22All right, Ted.
04:24Catherine Veritek dances on the grave of the Red Sox.
04:29Catherine is fun.
04:31She's got thoughts and opinions.
04:35But it's not going to be the lowest moment, her getting her due.
04:38So I'm going to say seven.
04:39Okay.
04:40We still have one, three, and six available.
04:43All right, Ken.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Alex Cora surprisingly hit the road.
04:50That's pretty high.
04:52I guess three.
04:54I was shocked by that.
04:55He's the face of the franchise.
04:56Number three?
04:57I'm assuming you've got a banger.
04:58You're holding back.
04:59I'm going to hold one.
05:00All right.
05:00I mean, dude, he missed.
05:02He was out of baseball for a year because of his cheating scandal.
05:05They bring him back.
05:06And then you fired him.
05:07And then you fired him.
05:08All right.
05:08All we have left is one and six.
05:10Ted.
05:12Ryan Baio has a case of the yips.
05:16Man, I don't know what the other one is.
05:19I'd like to know that so I can compare it.
05:21Because I just think he's emblematic of the whole thing.
05:25So it's – look, he's not number one, but so I have to say six.
05:29But he's high.
05:30He's high.
05:30I'd almost put him higher if I had a better option.
05:32All right.
05:33Well, then this one's going to be easier for you, Ken.
05:35Number one.
05:35The final one left, the embarrassing all-star ballot post of Red Sox social media.
05:41That is number one, which they put three guys that were injured and Caleb Durbin.
05:45Well, I was holding out.
05:46That is the lowest.
05:48That is the lowest.
05:48Number one, baby.
05:49And that ended up working out.
05:50Not their home record of 10 and 21.
05:52That's what I was saving for number one.
05:55I think that just goes without saying.
05:56So there you go.
05:58Now, blindly ranked, and I think that's a pretty good ranking, to be quite honest,
06:01now that we've seen it, the Red Sox 2026 lowest moments.
06:04The bonus is the worst in ABS.
06:07Number 10, John Henry goes, oh, sell the team.
06:10Although I would almost put that higher.
06:11Number nine, Schwarber embarrasses the team.
06:13Number eight, Jared Duran versus Michael Holley.
06:16Number C, Catherine Veritek dances on the grave of the Red Sox.
06:20Number six, Brian Billow is a case of the yips.
06:22Number five, the term driveline is introduced to us all.
06:25Number four, Theo Epstein ripping on Greg Breslow.
06:29Number three, Cora Fyre.
06:30Number two, the mischaracterization by Sam Kennedy of Roman,
06:34Anthony's injury, and number one, the embarrassing all-star ballot post
06:38on Red Sox social media.
06:40Let it be written.
06:41Let it be done.
06:42That is now the official list, gentlemen.
06:43Well done, boys.
