00:00So the Red Sox have been around for at least 20 years, right?
00:02They've been around for a while.
00:03A long time.
00:04Okay.
00:05The greatest 34 game stretch in the history of the franchise has been since June 25th.
00:13They are 29 in five since June.
00:17So in the history of baseball in Boston, not the Braves, your team, the Red Sox, 34 games.
00:24They are 29 in five.
00:26They have never done better in 34 games.
00:28In their last 40 games, dating back to June 19th, we need to find out when that road
00:35show was in Hall.
00:36But since June 19th, they have played 40 games.
00:40They've won 32.
00:41And there really can be no Cam Newton easy schedule argument.
00:46They are beating teams that are over 500 over and over and over again.
00:52We thought the All-Star break came at the wrong time.
00:54Maybe it was going to cool them off.
00:55They've had 18 games since the All-Star break.
00:57They've won 15.
00:58Yeah.
00:59I mean, and especially the way it all started and just like the turmoil, the rollercoaster
01:06ride of what was going on, the firing of Alex Cora.
01:10This team, we were talking about this could have, this team could set the record for most
01:13losses.
01:14And then to hear that from what you were just saying, Kurt, it's like, this team has been
01:19spectacular.
01:19Are we accepting listener feedback?
01:22Yeah, always.
01:23We are on the Subaru of New England text.
01:25I enjoy it.
01:26I'm going to need more on this.
01:28But hello and good morning to a 401 texter from Rhode Island who says, here we go.
01:34Another effing four hours of this.
01:37Is that Red Sox talk?
01:38We could switch.
01:40I mean, I'm very excited about the Boston Red Sox.
01:43I don't know how you aren't either.
01:45But the Patriots have a walkthrough today close to the public.
01:51Wiggy, maybe you could take us through a walkthrough.
01:53Right, right.
01:53From start to finish a little bit later.
01:55I could probably do that.
01:55If you could.
01:56Yeah, I could take you down that rabbit hole if you'd like.
01:59I don't think there's anything special that's going to come out of a walkthrough today.
02:03But I mean, it's it's maybe that text was intended for his wife and not us.
02:08It could be sent into the wrong number.
02:11I mean, there's nothing bad you could say about the Red Sox.
02:14It just says there's nothing bad you could say about what this team has been able to do.
02:18You got to give Bresbaugh a ton of credit.
02:21He added the pieces that he want.
02:22John Henry is somebody that it seems like, hey, we're going to do whatever it takes to compete for World
02:28Series this year.
02:29They've beaten not only, you know, every and anybody, but you just came off a series where you swept the
02:35best team in Major League Baseball in the Dodgers in L.A.
02:40So I don't really know, like, what people want.
02:43I mean, this team is legit.
02:45There's like nothing you could say about this team that you'd go, oh, I'm concerned.
02:49Like this team, the expectations for me is, is like I said, the ALCS.
02:53This team has shown that they they can compete with anybody.
02:56They should get to the World Series.
02:59I mean, yes, they absolutely should.
03:01Do I get credit for that prediction, even though I've waffled on it 16 times?
03:05No, you do not.
03:07Well, you could go back, Curtis.
03:09No, it's OK.
03:10You can pivot.
03:11You can absolutely pivot.
03:12Well, I don't think I mean, I think a lot of people like Curtis.
03:15I had them, you know, making a deep run in the postseason.
03:18I know, Curtis, you had him get into the World Series at the beginning of the season.
03:21But going into the year, we we you know, we debated this and we had conversations about it.
03:25Like we thought that they had the talent.
03:27And then it was probably just a combination of guys not performing to the level that they were supposed to
03:32be performing to.
03:34And then Alex Cora.
03:35That's what I was going to say.
03:36Yeah.
03:37Like the investment or just where he was going is like as far as how he was managing the team
03:42earlier in the year.
03:44Obviously, I wasn't here when the Alex Cora situation happened, but to go from spring training when you guys were
03:48down in spring training and I was talking to you from here while you were down there to then Alex
03:53Cora being let go.
03:54To me, I was like, this team's a mess.
03:56Like this need they need to start from the studs, fire everybody.
04:01John Henry sell the team to see the turnaround they've been able to make just from then to have John
04:06Henry have people now rooting for him is a turnaround.
04:09I don't know if I've ever seen from any other sport in Boston.
04:12Yeah.
04:12I don't know if you can go that far.
04:14Oh, I was rooting for John Henry.
04:16Oh, but the turnaround like you've lived longer than I have.
04:21It's one of the it's one of the great turnarounds in sports.
04:24It has to be.
04:26Yeah, I don't think there was ever.
04:27There's not an equal in season for a team like this in my lifetime that I can even point to.
04:33But weren't they were they 14 games under five at one at one point?
04:39Yeah, we literally were talking about them being the worst team in the history of the franchise.
04:43Right.
04:44And then without a major trade, while still having the same interim manager they had for a month, they are
04:49now being discussed in historic fashion as one of the great teams in the history of the team.
04:53And it's six weeks.
04:54And nobody was like we all had them dead like this team stinks horrible.
04:59Like you said, Courtney, people like sell the team.
05:01It was just like this team is horrendous.
05:03No one was like, well, you know, they're playing well in this and that.
05:07The only person that kind of said that was me when I had my leads about how they did against
05:11good teams or whatever.
05:13But that was way, way back earlier in the season.
05:16And ever since I said, hey, man, they got to go on eight in a row to get me back
05:20in.
05:21And you said, you know what?
05:22I'll go on a run if they do that.
05:25Don't bring that up, please.
05:27Yes.
05:28But that's I mean, think about it.
05:29That's when they just been like lights out.
05:32Yeah.
05:32All right.
05:33I mean, I feel like I'm more likely to go on a run than this team is.
05:39I'm waiting for the Red Sox to approve it.
05:41It has to be at Fenway Park.
05:43And when when they say yes, I will be over there and I will do it.
05:46And we can talk to Craig Breslow about that.
05:49Wiggy, I saw your guy bean shooter.
05:52All right.
05:53Double down on the social media on Roman Anthony.
05:57Yes.
05:57Yeah.
05:58And he brought receipts.
05:59Oh, yeah.
05:59Did you happen to see that?
06:01But I know Roman Anthony is the enemy, the bean shooter.
06:04So so bean shooter resurrected the video that he took of Roman Anthony at Loco in Southie at 1 a
06:14.m.
06:14Oh, hang it out on Marathon Monday, the morning after Marathon Monday.
06:18And then he shared the receipt of the DM asking him to remove the video from the social media.
06:28Oh, never do that.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Never send that DM.
06:31Really?
06:32Oh, that's it.
06:32Because you're just giving them the receipts that they need.
06:36And that there is something salacious.
06:38And you're from Lowell and you know how bean shooter rolls.
06:41Hey.
06:41Yeah.
06:41I would not ask a bean shooter.
06:42It's on and popping.
06:44Yeah.
06:44I want to see this.
06:45What's his?
06:45I'm trying to find him on Twitter.
06:46Uh, bean shooter.
06:49I don't know if he's on Twitter, Curtis.
06:51Oh, I thought he said Twitter.
06:51No, he's on IG.
06:53Oh, okay.
06:53I'm looking up right now.
06:54Yeah.
06:54So he, uh, he's also probably not on your favorite social media platform, Facebook.
06:58Yeah.
06:59Uh, he's probably making a comeback.
07:01I love the six year old saying I'm old.
07:03Okay.
07:04Here we go.
07:04Bean shooter.
07:05He went ham.
07:07I think it's one of the videos.
07:08It should be in like his, uh, not his stories, but his regular post.
07:12He follows me.
07:13What a nice gentleman.
07:14Okay.
07:14Yeah.
07:14I'll find it.
07:15He goes ham.
07:17Well, I mean, that was just one night out.
07:19I mean, and who doesn't honestly, who doesn't celebrate marathon Monday?
07:23I mean, a lot of people.
07:24It's the rough official arrival of spring in our city.
07:26Well, you got to remember being true to started at the Greg Hill, uh, foundation for marathon.
07:31Yes, he did.
07:32Yes, he did.
07:33He started off with us at Capitol grill and then he was out with Roman Anthony.
07:36Apparently the one night that Roman Anthony was out, uh, but red Sox should, but we all
07:41agree.
07:41That's why he's in Florida, right?
07:42I, I, I, I, I, I, I, the more of this evidence comes out, the more I feel like that
07:46must be
07:46what it is.
07:47Tell me another great athlete that gets sensitive, sent to the Homewood suites in Fort Myers
07:52in the middle of the season.
07:53Yeah.
07:53I, I, I, I, it's probably, it has, I mean, there's really no other explanation.
07:58I don't buy the small training room.
08:00No.
08:01If for Roman Anthony, they would build him a new one.
08:03Yeah.
08:04That's right.
08:05I still lean towards, uh, it's out of sight, out of mind because when he is here, if he
08:11does even go out for a minute, it's going to be pitches.
08:15It's going to be people saying this.
08:17You don't think people in Fort Myers, Florida, if he were out are, are taking pictures of him
08:22out, we haven't, we haven't heard anything about him since he's been down there.
08:27Yeah.
08:27Because he's probably locked down down there and not, but I mean, I'm sure he's, if he
08:31were going out, people in Florida know who Roman Anthony is.
08:35I don't know about that.
08:35I don't know.
08:36Yeah.
08:36I don't know about that.
08:37Like we've all been there.
08:38Where is he really going out either?
08:40Exactly.
08:41Like Twin Peaks.
08:41Oh, RIP, right?
08:42Twin Peaks is no longer.
08:43I just, I think like if you're Roman Anthony, you can get away with a hell of a lot more
08:48in Fort
08:48Myers than here.
08:49Right.
08:50And he's probably, you know, I bet all his buddies.
08:52And people he knows are all up here.
08:55So going down there, it's like, like to Courtney's point, like, where are you going and who
08:59are you going out with?
09:00So I think it's out of sight, out of mind.
09:02You know, we're really, you know, we don't really talk about Roman Anthony like that.
09:06I mean, we do talk about him, but there's no pictures of him popping up anywhere.
09:10So if you're the Red Sox, do you question at this point, bringing him back?
09:15Is there a concern that he comes back here and affects the, I don't want to call it vibe,
09:23but the clubhouse and the way guys are dedicated to their craft?
09:29And is he, you know, and, you know, a game ends and he's like, hey, fellas, let's head
09:35out and grab ourselves a couple of Miller lights.
09:37Like, I mean, is there a concern?
09:38No, there's no concern.
09:39As long as you bring them back.
09:40And I believe if you're going to bring them back, you're not bringing them back as an everyday
09:45player.
09:45So he's just the guy that's going to, you know, I think Greg's asking more about the
09:50off field and the, and the vibe.
09:52No, I don't think so.
09:53Because I think he's not going to be some, if they bring them back, I don't think he's
09:57going to be somebody that's going to be playing all the time that people are going to count
10:00on.
10:01So if he's out and about, if he has a night where he doesn't perform, you're completely
10:05missing.
10:06What is it?
10:07No, my thought was that like, yes, they're going to, they're going to bring it back and
10:10they're going to tell him, look, we shipped out Marcelo Meyer because we didn't like the
10:15off field stuff.
10:16That's a cautionary tale to you.
10:18If you keep that up and don't invest yourself fully in this team, you could be next.
10:23And so I think they use that almost as a like scared straight tactic.
10:26And they're like, Hey, you need to fit in.
10:29Otherwise you're, we're just going to move on.
10:30Yeah.
10:31I feel like the way the organization has handled this.
10:34We talked often given the way in which Sam Kennedy referred to you as Dr. Hill and the
10:38injured ring finger.
10:40I don't, we asked if Roman would sign the deal again.
10:43Do you think the Red Sox would do this deal again?
10:47I, I, I, I think they might think twice about it.
10:50I would say hell no.
10:51Yeah.
10:52You would say.
10:52I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
10:52I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
10:52I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
10:52I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
10:52I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
10:52I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
