00:00Sonny Gray is you want to talk about a guy I don't know if you had him on the bingo
00:04card being 12 and
00:05two at this point in the season here uh Craig I uh did you I did not see that but
00:12yeah we're still
00:13putting totals up uh in double digit range I just I think there's I think the runs have been
00:19suppressed a little bit for a reason and the Red Sox I think have the Dodgers coming up next
00:24that's right yeah I was gonna say like that's the mega series of the weekend Red Sox Dodgers this
00:30weekend in fact if you think about it with the way that the alignment is in Major League Baseball
00:34the American League uh like the Red Sox they'll visit LA this season and then they won't go next
00:39year so uh you would imagine a lot of Red Sox fans will be in LA to watch that series
00:44play out this
00:45week and and maybe you know look I I think that teams know what they're gonna do come next week
00:51already as we talked about yesterday but make no mistake about it the Red Sox can make a major
00:56statement nobody has really shined against the Dodgers this season when you think about it there
01:02have been teams that have won series against them of course they're not gonna win every series
01:05but nobody's really come out of there with and with me thinking that anybody's gonna beat them
01:09at the end of the season I I don't see that team that that has happened for so uh would
01:15be imperative
01:15for them to get that win tonight I think they will I can't believe the A's are 17 games under
01:19500
01:20a month ago everyone was saying oh the A's how special how nice they're a good team 17 games
01:26under 500 what happened to them uh they're brutal so I do expect the Red Sox to win tonight I
01:31probably
01:31would even go the minus uh one and a half I think eventually Red Sox bats will break out they'll
01:37get
01:37Roman Anthony back they'll get Ranger Suarez back they'll get Garrett Crochet back doesn't look like
01:41Meade will come back what they just got and then they have been without a doubt Joe not just with
01:47Miami the uh Boston has been it seems like the most talked about trade deadline team thus far
01:53Scooble the most talked about name but the Red Sox to me it seems like every time I'm going on
01:59social media or I'm going to any baseball talk everyone's talking about what the Red Sox are
02:04gonna do maybe they have the most holes I don't know but uh yeah it's gonna be interesting to see
02:10what they do Joe because I'm not convinced the Red Sox are gonna make the playoffs they had that
02:13great run but yeah I'm not positive about that like I I don't know if what we saw was real
02:19there
02:19so interesting dynamic going on there I mean here we are on July 30th on July 1st the Red Sox
02:28were 11
02:29games under 500 that's crazy Sonny Gray was guaranteed to be traded right at that point he was
02:36going to be on the trip that Chapman everybody was going and then they have now won what 19 of
02:4322
02:44this month with still they got an opportunity win tonight right so uh to rattle off 20 wins in their
02:52last 23 games they have to be in 11 games under 500 now they're talking about extending Sonny Gray
02:59maybe giving him an extension and keeping him there I I just don't see I mean what am I missing
03:07with him I mean he has been he's been great don't get me wrong he's coming off a uh looking
03:13to bounce
03:13back here in one spot against uh Toronto I think it was uh got him last time out but there
03:20I you're
03:21not he's 36 are we really extending him now Boston is that the direction we're going but there you can't
03:28argue with the results and the results for the last month and you saw this 20 wins in June put
03:33the Marlins in a whole different category right Craig 20 wins in July have now completely changed
03:39the direction of the Boston Red Sox yeah but my question and we talk about this all time did you
03:45peak too soon here Boston because the it's fair question the peaks and valleys are a mess here right
03:51now yeah they're feeling great and look there was so much pressure on them to win I mean Trevor
03:57story is another name he's hurt too so they do have a lot of players that can come back and
04:02and
04:03and they should fight and and truthfully in their defense the American League is brutal it's awful
04:09so they really do have a chance I think to make the playoffs Boston's not like some of these other
04:14teams like Arizona or Miami or Pittsburgh where it's like you're wondering will they go will they not
04:19I fully expect Boston to try and get in and then just you know feel like it's the NCAA tournament
04:24and then they could probably think that they could beat everybody but I question that I don't think
04:29so I and again nothing against Sonny Gray who's had a phenomenal career I mean think about the A's and
04:35the Reds and uh the Yankees right didn't he pitch on the Yankees too like he's pitched on so many
04:41different teams it seems like he's been good everywhere that he's gone and he never gets any credit
04:45but he's your game one starter as it stands right now in the playoffs Joe who is gonna if it
04:51started
04:51today are you kidding me with no Suarez and no crochet you think the Red Sox are gonna win a
04:55series I don't I don't think so I think I think a few weeks ago with them as hot as
04:59they would they'd
05:00beat anybody they were rolling everybody rolled Tampa Bay but I I just don't uh see them getting
05:05this hot again I I think they'll win tonight they could even play well a little bit in LA but
05:11without
05:12getting to me massive help I I don't think that this is a team that's built to go very deep
05:17into the
05:17postseason in in fact between those three teams in the American League East Tampa Bay New York
05:22Boston I think Tampa Bay has the better shot of the three of going deep best shot
05:26so
05:26you
05:26you
05:26you
05:26you
05:26you
05:26you
