00:00give me one redeeming thing about this baseball team and i'm i'm not being facetious no there's
00:07nothing can you like one redeeming story one uh one happy place thing what one thing that makes
00:15you smile nothing about the about the boston red sox usually it's peyton toley but then yeah
00:21i told you it's not even like you know but it's not they're not even worth watching right
00:29and there's no if you're you know a diehard fan a casual fan of this team like they're not even
00:36worth watching because you're like they don't bring you in like i know they want a series here
00:41and a series there but there's been nothing to be like all right they're really really sucking me in
00:47that's why i when we we talked about this the other day and i was like brad falls out of
00:52his mind there
00:52is nobody that believes this red sox team is gonna make is even gonna come close to making the post
00:59season like i believe everybody is out i mean i know i'm out well it's i agree with you like
01:06i well
01:07i don't agree with you that that there's nobody but i i do not believe that this is a playoff
01:12team
01:12i've said that now for a while um however the argument is the length of the season there's just
01:20a little under a hundred games left right but they haven't shown anything greg i know so anybody
01:26they've showed exactly what they are no no i'm saying like showing that they can go on a run
01:30and really so anybody who says oh this team i believe still can make a playoff push i i i
01:37think
01:38they're lying to you they're just trying to find some type of silver lining in it no one but if
01:43you
01:43can't win four games in a row how would you expect fans to believe like all right there's a lot
01:49of games
01:50left in the season that they can make that push what would even let you lead you believe to believe
01:56that whether it's i guess if you think if you wanted to be really incredibly optimistic that
02:02garrett crochet and roman anthony are going to come back at some point and those are your two best
02:07players right but even let's not rush it but even with garrett i'm saying that would be the only
02:11reason for optimism and we didn't even see from roman after the world baseball classic what you thought
02:16you were right and that and that's my biggest point like the crochet thing your pitching staff
02:20has been solid right yeah so i don't really look and go i know he'll be a he'll be a
02:26a great
02:27addition to it but for me your offense is still going to be struggling i mean you look at last
02:32night's
02:32game it was your offense that doesn't show up did you see the suggestion yesterday floating around
02:39that the driveline guys are responsible for the roman anthony setback curtis uh doesn't surprise me
02:49so apparently the that nobody in the organization or nobody medically oh well i should i should say it
02:56in the in the right way there were there were there were not many in the organization that wanted him
03:02to return to dry swings but the driveline experts were recommending dry that he uh dry swing it and
03:13during the dry swinging the the sounds like my sophomore year the tendon was aggravated and that
03:21is why there has been a setback for the roman empire so i didn't know that i mean could i
03:28tell you
03:28everybody looks bad in that one like yeah it's just i'm sorry like what are we doing here i hate
03:35this so much if you haven't played like if you've never played baseball and i i'm including t-ball
03:42in in the in the equation could could you just stay out of the clubhouse like can you just
03:47you know get get into the reddit or whatever and share your thoughts there in the in the uh in
03:54in
03:54the brez bot reddit and then be a substacker let it be let it be translated by somebody who has
04:00actually played the game of baseball to the players that are actually trying to play it yeah
04:05like but could this also be that the player hates these people and is like this is what caused the
04:11setback i guess yes yeah you're right it could be that it's i think the sides are not at all
04:17i mean
04:18ever since he said that to bradford i mean and i agree with roman anthony i would do what he's
04:22doing but
04:22like i don't think not only have the red socks lost every meaningful game they they very likely
04:29could lose or be in the process of losing their most important relationship with roman anthony the
04:34future of the team yeah and i i find the people that cite the globe in consecutive weeks so i
04:42was
04:42listening to rich ken and ted yesterday and they were citing that the uh breslow got the support in
04:48the globe by tim healy well you have to cite the story that occurred less than a week prior by
04:54the
04:54same author which basically took cleats and drove them over the back of craig breslow so you can't
05:01say in neither story by the way said who owned the paper but you're writing a story where you're
05:07basically embarrassing breslow at his lowest moment and then out of nowhere it's well the organization
05:13doesn't plan on firing him it's all being used as a way to spin the fan base away from the
05:19reality
05:19they see and i just find it to be so reprehensible like who's going to a game this weekend oh
05:26a lot
05:27of people it'll be packed you know why they suck at the why they suck at home and they're better
05:31on
05:31the road because both actually have fans of other teams there by like the majority of the fan base is
05:36there like i don't know who they're hosting this weekend who are they playing in fenway i'm not sure
05:40the rangers the rangers you'll see a bunch of i think it's the savannah bananas that's actually
05:45who it is i yeah all right well we'll get to the red sox yeah further do we have to
05:51i mean if you
05:52want to we can whatever you want curtis good morning hey greg so uh i'm not a big reddit guy
05:58but there is
05:59a great uh page from a book that was written by tony maserati and john harper in the 2003-2004
06:08offseason where john henry sends an email and he notes in this email the awe and absolute uh
06:18genuine gratitude he has for the undying love of red sox fans this is in between the red sox losing
06:26in game seven of 03 the aaron boone home run and the world series is ongoing and he says there
06:32is
06:32nothing i would do to watch these games the only thing even though he had worked in florida he was
06:38an owner of the marlins he said i don't care about who wins this there isn't anything i wouldn't do
06:44for red sox fans he writes these people you know there isn't anything these people wouldn't do for
06:50the red sox we owe them and i just think it's so perfect considering what he said at the sports
06:58business journal event where he scoffed at the idea that nobody's going to buy him a free drink
07:03because he's owed from the red sox fans 20 years later and i know that people change that's a good
07:12thing a lot of times but reading this email and how the genuine gratitude and amazement he has at the
07:19depth of the fans of the red sox a team he just purchased and the manner in which he is
07:24totally and
07:25completely abused that is on full display is it is it possible that the way this season if he's been
07:32out of out of daily uh activities uh mind elsewhere working on other things is it possible
07:40that how truly horrific this team is right now is dragging him back in and that could be a good
07:47thing curtis if he's the one calling around no because he's trying to get make it easier for bad
07:53teams to compete like you see the red sox and the rays right now what if the rays have to
07:57spend an
07:57additional hundred million dollars they're already better than you play paying a third of what you
08:02spend yeah how much more difficult is your division going to be when john henry forces them to spend an
08:08additional hundred million dollars well that i am guessing is because they have a really really good
08:12baseball ops guy right and why do you think 10 people said no to john henry because well because you
08:20think they don't want to be a part of the disaster that is here and they know john henry's not
08:24going
08:24to spend the money like he used to because opinions are irrelevant algorithms dominate and this is what
08:29you get
08:29you get
08:29you
