00:00Meanwhile, how about this story? Jake Bennett, Tom, who saw this one coming? 20 innings pitched
00:05in ERA under one. You look at some of the reasons why Boston has been on such a tear here.
00:12Bennett
00:12has been one of those reasons. And it's not just him. I mean, it's been Abreu, Rafaela. A lot of
00:16guys have come through. But if you win 12 games in a row, you got to look at some pitchers
00:21and
00:21he's been one of them. Yeah. Shout out to Jake Bennett, certainly helping my NFBC high stakes
00:26teams. So I am a big fan of him, albeit over a short period of time. But, you know, this
00:32is
00:32sometimes what teams need in order to push for the postseason and win 12 straight games, as we have
00:37seen for the Red Sox, where it's a young guy that they got to call up because maybe of an
00:42injury or
00:43someone else isn't performing and just take a shot on him and he's hot. And is he going to be
00:47this
00:47good over the entire season or his entire career? Of course not. But you can catch lightning in a
00:52bottle for six, eight weeks. And that can really propel you into a postseason spot.
00:57Yeah, it's definitely been a great run here for Boston, Tom. But do you think that the Red Sox,
01:01like we talk about hot players, hot teams, do you think that the Red Sox run here is legit?
01:06I understand that they're not going to win 25 games in a row. And at some point, they're going
01:10to lose three, four in a row. We know that again. Have they put themselves back in a playoff position
01:15for you? I'm not sure. I'm still a little bit skeptical.
01:19I'm a little bit skeptical as well. But sometimes that doesn't matter. If you're hot at the right
01:24time, you're hot at the right time. And winning games is all that matters. So whether they go,
01:30I'm not going to say 0-12 or their next 12, but if they fall back down to earth and
01:34they're going
01:346-6, they're still going to be fighting for a wildcard spot. And that's really what the fans
01:38want to see. And that's really the most important thing when it comes to their postseason chances.
