00:00i mean the boston red sox have turned our summer around have they not i was thinking over the
00:07weekend about more shocking events like obviously super bowl 51 is a standalone but like this is far
00:16more surprising than wiggy called the celtics being a top three team in the east without tatum
00:20yeah like i cannot think of a more remarkable in-season turnaround in my lifetime than what
00:29we're experiencing right now i i watched this team over the weekend and the uh the game saturday
00:37great job by nesson where you capture lumer loney and dave o'brien with the will you or a bray
00:43you
00:43homer to write and the the what i love about rain delayed games at fenway is that it's become
00:50corporate like everything the tickets are incredibly expensive it's hard to get in and when it's kind
00:55of one of those days where you don't know if they're going to be played or not ken and i
00:58were
00:58on ken did the pregame and he got a text from the red sox like we don't know what the
01:03rain schedule
01:04is going to be the yankees game had been rained out so you didn't know if the game was going
01:07to be
01:07played when it was going to start all of that and so that stadium was full of diehards whoever was
01:14there was a socks yeah fan mass hole true and true and when that ball landed above the bullpen in
01:20the
01:20bleachers at fenway it was an organic tarps off incredible moment lose standing up going nuts
01:28lose said it best he said this is what fenway should be and it is what fenway park should be
01:34amen and so he goes fenway snapped and it was it did snap it was awesome i i honestly i
01:42cannot think
01:43of a good comp like other than maybe like the oh one patriots who started out you know one and
01:48three
01:48and then they pick but like this is a team that we were talking about as the worst in the
01:54history of
01:55the franchise not that long ago by the way we were in the hole with craig breslow on the show
02:02and uh and we were talking about going on runs and how i mean i feel like i'm more likely
02:08to go on a
02:09run than this team is so i unbelievable it's an unbelievable turnaround and i we're gonna have
02:17chad tracy on the show wednesday i think you got to give him some credit i'm so happy for him
02:23i think
02:23you have to give some credit to obviously to the players but you have to give some credit to breslow
02:28too uh yeah i mean listen what they've done you're never going to give credit to john henry no we're
02:33not giving john henry well did you hear they met the team on the tarmac after the break oh i
02:40didn't
02:40hear that and lou merloni and dave o'brien said this on the broadcast on friday night that they greeted
02:46the players and said welcome home uh yeah listen i wilson contraria spoke very glowingly about john
02:53henry he said that you know i there was we didn't hear anybody yelling sell the team over the weekend
02:59so whatever they've done to congeal and to create this sort of me versus you mentality is great i i
03:06mean
03:06sincerely this is awesome 13 straight wins yeah you're in the playoffs if the season ended today
03:13we all said you know what if they get swept i didn't fathom that they would sweep the four game
03:18series i didn't either i went to that game on friday night and i was thinking that it was going
03:25to be
03:26hillman jinx and street killer and it was not it was it's awesome so i there's and honestly they
03:33they have to be buyers like i i there's no other uh option there and so i i would expect
03:41that they
03:42will find a way to improve the baseball team and as shime just said during the feed you you know
03:47you
03:48could if you can take two from the from the orioles here back to back you are historically the the
03:55best
03:56you're on the best win streak ever in the history of the boston red sox yeah the last time they
04:00were on a
04:0015 game win streak was 1946 greg you were the only one alive for that so what was that like
04:05thank you
04:05sean i appreciate that thank you very much i wish i could ask wiggy who the president was then no
04:10i
04:11listen it's unbelievable it is the definition of unbelievable and the yankees they won last night
04:16but they lost two or three to the dodgers here now i think three or four games out in the
04:20lost column
04:21behind the yankees the rays are you know if you want to look at the one thing i brought up
04:26when we were talking about analytics the number one sign the number one like the mile marker
04:33barometer is the run differential and the red sox currently have the second best run differential in
04:39the american league behind the yankees and so all along even when they were 13 games under 500 they were
04:45still a positive run differential which is the way people evaluate like well you're better than the
04:50teams you've played you just have had either buzzards luck or whatever else yeah and now you're sitting
04:55here you're gonna have to buy the one thing i did throw out to ken on saturday what if a
05:01team gives
05:02you a haul that's the term of the year for a role this chapman you have glasnow who's pitched
05:09spectacularly if you can then flip those guys that you get for joe ryan in the offseason or something
05:15like that to me that's the only one that you could be like quote selling people would lose their minds
05:21but analytics guys don't value closers like that is the one deal you can make and you could flip it
05:28for someone else that could benefit your team but other than that i think you're buying i wouldn't i
05:31wouldn't want to part with him i wouldn't i really wouldn't want i'm okay with parting with prospects
05:37i'm okay with if they decide that you know you're you're going to get trevor story back and marcello
05:44meyer is an issue i i wouldn't mind parting with marcello meyer but i would not want to part with
05:50that closer i think you need to get both a bat and a starting pitcher yeah because crochet i mean
05:56i
05:57don't think you're going to see him the rest of the season and that is concerning but i don't want
06:00to get negative this morning but i mean he's far far far away you had roman anthony's report over
06:05the weekend that he still isn't swinging a bat in fort myers yeah bizarre situation there so you need
06:10to get an actual bat and you need to get a starting pitcher i believe uh at the deadline
06:15but honestly i mean you have done this you've done all of this without crochet and without roman
06:21anthony so i are you really that concerned about when and if they come back yeah because you saw
06:26connelly early suarez like if you lose another pitcher you don't have another bennett to come back
06:31i mean listen it's been amazing they've been you know this is unprecedented literally in my lifetime
06:36it's never happened but i you still need to be adding i think that the fan base will be
06:41incredibly frustrated also it's a great opportunity for this ownership to invest in the short term to
06:48at least give the appearance that they're engaged and willing to spend before there's potentially no
06:53season next year well they are a playoff team right now you're boston red sox and that is 13 in
06:58a row
06:58what did you think of the result on the pitch yesterday shine i thought spain was unquestionably the
07:04better team that game probably should have been over way earlier than it was seeing as argentina
07:09didn't have an actual shot until uh extra time until the extra time they didn't have a shot on
07:14net until extra time i thought they were doing the best they could especially once that guy went down
07:18with the uh the second yellow got the red card and they were down a man and they were just
07:21kind of
07:22trying to stall for pks and just couldn't hold out uh for the full 120 where you you were sort
07:28of
07:29sentimentally rooting for messy right yeah it was one of those things where argentina had been so good
07:33late in games that i i just i couldn't bet against him it was one of those spain was without
07:38a
07:39question the better team you saw it yesterday they absolutely dominated that game from beginning to
07:43end argentina just wouldn't go away and that's what i was nervous about i was nervous about that
07:48119th minute goal that
07:49you
