00:00What does not make me comfortable is that the Red Sox go and get a bat
00:04and then that bat may not be available for the entire rest of this season.
00:09I view that Curtis Mead acquisition like our visit to the dive
00:13at Lake Winnipesaukee.
00:15I mean, you're talking about we were there, we were on it,
00:18but it just wasn't quite the full season.
00:21We came, we saw, we got on the IL.
00:23Yeah.
00:24Not good.
00:25Bad news.
00:26So he came back and will be examined, I'm assuming,
00:32or was examined yesterday by a hand specialist.
00:36But, I mean, I guess potentially it's not season-ending surgery that's required
00:41and that thing will heal up.
00:44I don't know, Curtis.
00:45Do you want to take calls from those who've had a fractured wrist?
00:49Yeah, especially people that might have played Legion ball.
00:52What about the Cape League?
00:53Are they allowed to call or are they busy?
00:55Summer catch, great flick.
00:57I would add that the chances, though, that Curtis Mead returns better than those
01:02that Roman Anthony comes back this year.
01:04Well, I guess glass half full.
01:07You still have the deadline.
01:10You know, you've got days until Monday.
01:13So if you want to go and do it all over again,
01:16you can go and get yourself another bat somewhere else,
01:19depending on what you're willing to part with.
01:21What do you think Breslow, we can ask him tomorrow at 9,
01:23what do you think Breslow's immediate reaction?
01:25Did he throw the Sunday New York Times on the ground?
01:27Yeah, I would assume that he probably unplugged
01:31and then replugged in every device in his home that he was using at the time.
01:35Well, weren't there little whispers about possibly they'd be willing to move on
01:40from Trevor's story and Marcelo Meyer?
01:42So maybe there is.
01:44But like you said, Greg, hopefully it's not a season-ending thing
01:47and it doesn't keep him out too long.
01:50I don't know.
01:51If you're Bresbot, you've got to say what the actual F is going on.
01:54Yeah, but it was...
01:55Because you can't help that, but now he looks like...
01:59He looks like what?
01:59I mean, he made a good move.
02:01He made a great move, and everybody was praising him two days ago.
02:03But the fact that then this turns,
02:05and if this were to derail the season in any way,
02:08it just would suck for him.
02:10Yeah, I mean, I don't think people are upset about this situation.
02:13No, I'm just saying if this ends up not panning out
02:16the way that we hoped it would,
02:18then that ends up falling on Bresbot for a lot of people.
02:22Really?
02:22Yes.
02:24In my opinion.
02:25All right.
02:26All right.
02:26Yeah, I mean...
02:27I just think he can't win.
02:28Like, this is a guy who made a great move.
02:30We were talking on Monday about how the boos were so loud
02:32at the roadshow you guys had this season.
02:34The boos were so loud last fall when we were out at a roadshow.
02:38The fact that now Curtis Mead ends up with a fractured wrist
02:41at his second at-bat, like, that sucks for him.
02:44Well, I look at it like this.
02:45I look at it, it does suck for the team,
02:47and it does suck for Bresbot,
02:48but I also look at it like you were playing unbelievably well
02:52before he got here.
02:53Correct.
02:53And so I don't think that you, you know,
02:56obviously all you can do is hope that he's able to come back this year
02:59in the acquisition that you made,
03:01but I think there were a lot of people, myself included,
03:03that felt like even if they didn't do anything during the trade deadline,
03:07they still had enough to get to the postseason.
03:09So I don't think that it looks at it at the season is over
03:14because you were playing...
03:15No, no, no, no.
03:15Let me be clear.
03:16That's not what I'm saying at all.
03:17I'm just saying that Craig Breslow,
03:19as we praised him on Monday,
03:21it sucks for him on Tuesday.
03:22Like, that is a complete 180 for a guy
03:24who seemed like he was on top of the world,
03:26as he should have,
03:28to then have a fall from grace.
03:29Like, that sucks for Craig Breslow.
03:31Oh, yeah.
03:31I mean, yeah.
03:32Bottom line.
03:32Yeah, I think, yeah, we all know that part of it.
03:34I think that's, you know,
03:36and I think the biggest thing is there is something
03:38that maybe they were thinking about maybe making another trade,
03:41but was that to Curtis's point to get another starter?
03:44But, I mean, I just think that
03:46if you're this Boston Red Sox team,
03:48you look at your performance,
03:49you look at, all right, how we're playing,
03:51hopefully you get them back,
03:52hopefully the news ain't as bad as what it could be.
03:56Yeah, I mean, I would ask if the reason
03:59that it didn't show up
04:00when they did the imaging immediately after the game
04:03is because it's not, like,
04:07does not require season-ending surgery.
04:09Like, I don't know enough about it.
04:11Yeah, I don't either.
04:11Maybe it's the swelling or something.
04:13I don't know enough about x-rays or how that goes.
04:15I have no idea.
04:16Yeah, it's digital these days.
04:18I would also add, Greg,
04:20that potentially they were on the phone with people
04:22not wanting the people they're talking to
04:24to know that he had a fracture in his hand.
04:26So maybe they slow-played the injury
04:28and maybe were making a couple phone calls.
04:30If the other teams knew that he had this broken wrist
04:33or broken hand, whatever the hell,
04:35then maybe they would have been less likely
04:36to be receptive to the phone call.
04:38But maybe the Red Sox were trying to get ahead of it
04:40by delaying the news to the public for about 24 hours.
04:43Well, he had said, like, I mean,
04:45we just heard him say that he had a similar situation
04:47like this before in the past.
04:49So, I mean, maybe that's something,
04:51it wasn't the same hand.
04:52Is it the, you know,
04:53how long did that take him to recover?
04:55Yes.
04:56You know, so there is...
04:57Well, I believe it's the same hand
04:58that he burned putting shrimp on the barbie,
05:01if I remember correctly.
05:04Do you think he loves going to Outback
05:05now that he's in the U.S.?
05:07No, I feel like the Australians think
05:09that's, like, phony, fake.
05:10Yeah, it's not real.
05:11What, you're telling me
05:12you can't go to Australia
05:14and get a homegrown Bloomin' Onion?
05:16What?
05:17I think you probably could,
05:18but they're probably, like, crikey.
05:20You know, it's like, it's not real for them.
05:22Every Australian I meet is very sexual.
05:24They are.
05:24Go on a walkabout.
05:26They are.
05:27Tyra Banks lives in Australia.
05:29Yes.
05:29Fun fact.
05:30We have her name.
05:31We have her number.
05:32Yeah, we learned that from Mom
05:33when we did the event with her.
05:35Have you called her?
05:36No.
05:36Have you, since you have her digits,
05:38why don't you just randomly call her
05:40and say, hey, what's up,
05:41on a Thursday or a Friday?
05:41When the top model documentary came out,
05:43which was not complimentary to her,
05:45where he was like,
05:45why don't you text her?
05:46I'm like, I'm not texting her saying,
05:47hey, just watch the doc.
05:49Tough look.
05:49Well, I was saying text her before that,
05:50you know what I mean?
05:51And, like, you know,
05:52females, I get a little bit, you know,
05:53you could have a build a bond with her.
05:55Like, what am I texting her for?
05:56Well, I know.
05:57I don't ever want to feel like
05:58I'm abusing a gift that I was given,
06:01which is Tyra Banks' phone number.
06:02Mm-mm-mm.
06:03All right.
