00:00the worst they've been since covid in terms of games under 500 so and that should tell you
00:04something because that year was a freaking disaster and uh you know a direct you know
00:10that might have been the worst baseball and it was kind of an asterisk kind of year for lots of
00:15reasons but that might have been the worst baseball in covid that we've seen ever now from the red
00:19sox and this is close so this game today murray's right about the fake runs our buddy matt the stat
00:26sent this email yesterday did you see this that they lead they lead the majors in runs scored in
00:31the ninth inning and you know why because the games are over because they're so far behind the other
00:36teams get some scrub on the mound and the red sox are going to score meaningless runs they get four
00:40runs in the eighth inning today when they were down five zip rapiella hit a three-run home run
00:45soon as it got to five to four i said to murray if they're going to be true to form
00:49the red sox
00:50will give up a run or two in the bottom of the eighth they gave up two so now they're
00:54down seven
00:54four and they score another meaningless run in the ninth lose seven to five looks like it was a
00:59close game it wasn't they were never in it they struck out 15 times 13 times said the tampa bay
01:06starter in the first seven innings they were never really in the game never so their run differential
01:12is minus 14 that might be the most misleading run differential stat in all of major league baseball
01:18again you saw today and so i didn't see matt's email either i said to maz during a commercial break
01:22i'm
01:23like how many fake runs does this team have this year where they're not getting meaningful hits
01:27and you know in the middle of the game when they're actually still in it but they're piling on when
01:30they're out of it
01:35they're out of it
