00:00And Peyton Tolley was dealing yesterday, Curtis.
00:05Balls.
00:0617 consecutive batters retired by the big stash yesterday.
00:12And Red Sox right the ship a little bit and win that game yesterday afternoon.
00:16Thanks to my guy, the Durbinator.
00:19I've been with him the whole time.
00:22The jersey you got in spring training still is on.
00:25It's great.
00:26I mean, he cut that pinky finger right out of the glove so he could play hurt.
00:34And he certainly did the Red Sox right yesterday.
00:37So that was a huge win.
00:39Yeah, you avoid the sweep and you head into the weekend.
00:43And the Yankees lose and you start feeling a little bit about yourself.
00:47You're going to Pittsburgh this weekend.
00:48You should take two and three there.
00:49Then you head back home winning three out of four.
00:51That's hopefully where you are at a bare minimum.
00:54And Peyton Tolley, like, I don't know, he was born to be a Sox stud.
00:58Like, the last two starts, the 14 Ks last week, and then yesterday entering that game, getaway day in Toronto.
01:06You knew you needed to have him set the tone.
01:09And 17 straight, awesome.
01:11Just awesome.
01:12Great win by the team.
01:13That was a, you lose that game.
01:16You've got, you know, you're now at six in a row heading to Pittsburgh.
01:19It feels like the sky is falling.
01:20That was a big, big win for the Red Sox.
01:22No, and they have, we'll get to it during, they said it, but Wilson Contreras talked a little bit yesterday
01:30about getting booed at Fenway.
01:32But then he also brought up the Noro or whatever has been going through the clubhouse and the fact that
01:38that was kind of gone.
01:39And so, I don't know.
01:41There's no excuses.
01:42There should be no excuses.
01:44But maybe that's a valid excuse for a little bit of a lull for the Red Sox team is how
01:50everybody was sick.
01:51You know, maybe I'll accept that.
01:53He also had something going on with his leg, too.
01:55So, like, for Wilson Contreras, I thought that his excuse, if you want to call it that, I'll accept.
02:00And I also think that the way in which he handled the booze at Fenway is exactly what you want
02:05a player to handle.
02:06Like, we'll go back and forth until we're blue in the face about Jaron Duran and how he deals with
02:10the pressure of Boston or what it's like to play for Boston or the Red Sox.
02:14But Wilson Contreras was like, you know, they're passionate.
02:16And I got booed.
02:18And it is what it is.
02:18And he kind of laughed it off.
02:20Like, that's what you want out of your player.
02:22Yeah.
02:23I also think that the Noro doesn't really work because you're up 3-2 in the eighth inning.
02:28So, like, does the Noro come in in the ninth?
02:30Well, you could be, you know, tired and you're running out of strength.
02:35I mean, I know I'm making excuses, but, I mean, have you ever had the Noro?
02:40Well, James, we've been dealing with it at home.
02:43And here I am.
02:44And he actually gets power.
02:46He powers up as the day goes on.
02:48But, yeah, listen, they were not going to go 60-5 for, you know, the 65-game stretch.
02:54So, baseball has a way of evening out.
02:56All right.
02:57Well, we are at Gillette Stadium this morning.
02:59First time this NFL season.
03:02And we'll be joined by the head coach of the New England Patriots, Mike Vrabel, coming up.
03:07We will try to squeeze a bunch of leads in before Mike Vrabel gets here at 630.
03:12We will get to They Said It later on this morning.
03:15And we will hear what Caleb Durbin said was the secret sauce that led to the Grand Salami yesterday.
03:23And what Wilson Contreras said about being booed at Fenway.
03:28Certainly, among other things.
03:30So, that is coming up.
03:31I would guess that we can get to They Said It around 7.15 as always.
03:37And news with Courtney coming up at 8.
03:39And, obviously, Hill Notes at the end of the show.
03:41So, your thoughts.
03:42If you have any on the Patriots last night, you can leave those as a Hill Note for us on
03:48the Odyssey app.
03:49Or, on any other topic.
03:51We're always up for your input.
03:54And you can do it on the Odyssey app.
03:56You'll see the microphone that is there.
03:58And then, talk to your heart's content.
04:00And we'll pick the best ones and play them back later.
04:02I have a potential new breaking lead scenario that we may have on the show.
04:09Which is, there will be speculation about Shohei Otani opting out of his Dodgers contract should the team be sold.
04:19So, Wiggy, if you're listening, it's not going to happen until the team's sold.
04:23But, we may get back into a stretch of 200 consecutive days where Wiggy talks about Shohei potentially opting out
04:31and coming to the Boston Red Sox.
04:33Despite the fact that Shohei says it's unlikely.
04:35Well, the thing is that the speculation is that that guy who owned both of them, the Lakers and the
04:43Dodgers, is getting deeper and deeper into the FBI investigation.
04:48And the number is now, it was originally $14 billion.
04:52Now, I think it's $21 billion in fraudulent loans, the money that was moved around business to business.
05:00And so, the speculation is that they would force him to – I mean, he's already selling the Lakers.
05:07They would force him to sell the Dodgers.
05:10Maybe.
05:10But, I don't know if that's going to happen or not.
05:13Wouldn't you if you were him?
05:15Like, if you owe $21 billion?
05:18Well, he doesn't owe $21 billion.
05:21It's fraudulent.
05:22The way in which he moved his money around was not legal.
05:27So, then how much does he owe the government?
05:30Well, he doesn't owe the government anything.
05:33It's fraudulent loans.
05:35So, he went business to business, potentially defrauded investors, moved money that should be with one business as a –
05:43theoretically as a profit or a distribution, used that to shore up other businesses that he had.
05:50Right.
05:50Like, Bernie Madoff didn't steal from the government.
05:52He stole from people that thought they were investing his money with him.
05:55Way worse.
05:56Right.
05:56Right.
05:56So, that's what this guy essentially is accused of doing.
05:59Right.
06:00He doesn't owe the government $20 billion.
06:01He may owe people that he misappropriated funds with $20 billion.
06:06Or, he was dishonest about the way in which he was using funds.
06:09Somebody in the Twitch chat says, I'm revealing myself as a money laundering expert.
06:13And, I'm not.
06:14I just, you know, I enjoy reading up on these things.
06:18That's all.
06:18I've never laundered a single cent.
06:21No.
06:21Nor have I ever recently laundered any of the shirts that I wear because I'm constantly accused by Twitch of
06:27needing more starch in my collar.
06:29I had no idea that I needed more starch in my collars.
06:32I had no idea.
06:33What's up first today?
06:34Well, Greg, let's begin with interim manager Chad Tracy.
06:38He talked about Peyton Tolley and his excellent performance after the game.
06:42Here was Chad.
06:43This stuff.
06:43And, he goes out and he's stronger as it goes.
06:45What does that say about him?
06:46I just think he's – yeah, I think we've seen that a couple of times.
06:50Including the last outing where it was more strikeout oriented.
06:53But, he's fantastic.
06:56You know, he's been really good.
06:57And, we're going to need him to keep doing that down the stretch.
06:59But, it was a really good outing.
07:0117 consecutive batters retired by Big Stash yesterday, Curtis.
07:05Awesome.
07:05And, they needed that win.
07:06You brought it up earlier.
07:08But, really, a sweep.
07:09But, you know, the difference is one game.
07:12But, it's a big difference if you go up there after the streak here and you get swept.
07:18So, I'm glad they salvaged the afternoon and maybe the summer yesterday.
07:22And, you know what?
07:23You got Sonny Gray and Peyton Tolley 1-2 in a playoff series.
07:26I like their chances.
07:27Pretty good.
07:28Yeah.
07:28I mean, you got Chapman in the back end.
07:30Crochet maybe coming out of the bullpen.
07:32Yep.
07:32I could fly home.
07:33Yes.
07:35So, and then you got Roman Anthony back in a month maybe.
07:39It's amazing.
07:40I'm sitting there yesterday.
07:41They had the bases loaded.
07:42They don't score whatever the inning that was.
07:44It was like the 4th or the 5th yesterday.
07:45And, I'm like, they're going to effing lose this game again.
07:47The season's over.
07:48And, then an hour later, you're like, okay, we're going to the playoffs.
07:51I like it.
07:51Yeah.
07:52No.
07:52The, my guy Derby said not today.
07:56No.
07:56He said not today.
07:58The Derbinator is a perfect nickname.
07:59Are we going to hear from Derbin Shine?
08:01Yeah, Greg.
08:02Well, speaking of Derbin, why don't we hear from him?
08:04He actually talked about the bunt that Wilson Contreras laid down there in the 8th.
08:07Prior to him hitting the Grand Slam, we can hear from your guy Derby.
08:12He said he was going to do it in the dugout.
08:14He said he's going to drop the bunt.
08:15They're going to walk Massa, and then I'm going to be up.
08:19He literally told him exactly what happened.
08:20He said it was going to happen.
08:22And, so, that's just the type of brand of ball that works for us right now.
08:26Doesn't matter if it's our best player dropping a bunt.
08:28You know, we're going to do it.
08:30A hard out move, yanking the finger, the pinky finger out of your glove so you can get your
08:36fat, injured finger in there and keep playing.
08:39That's what I love about the Derbinator.
08:41The guy is basically shilling in the field.
08:43Just an absolute grinder.
08:45What warrior?
08:47It's no finger injury that's going to get in the way of Caleb Derbin and the Boston Red Sox.
08:51That was kind of a shot at Roman Anthony.
08:53I knew you were going to say that.
08:54I don't think it had anything to do with that.
08:57I didn't even think of that, Curtis.
08:58That's brilliant.
09:00I mean, it's a completely different injury.
09:04Derby keeps playing.
09:06Two different fingers.
09:07You know how sensitive the ring finger is as opposed to the pinky?
09:11Believe me.
09:12I mean, it's also expensive.
09:13You only use your pinky when you're drinking a cup of tea.
09:17I do.
09:18And you're from London, I believe.
09:20So you really, I'm sure you don't like to talk about it.
09:22You have afternoon tea, I'm sure.
09:24Crumpets.
09:24Is that going to be Caleb Derbin's new celebration, Greg?
09:27Pinkies up?
09:29Tarps off.
09:29Pinkies up.
09:30It absolutely could be.
09:33So, all right.
09:34Well, Red Sox with a necessary win yesterday and on the road this weekend and perhaps have
09:42righted the ship.
09:44Big weekend in Pittsburgh.
09:46By the way, have you guys seen Paul Skeens?
09:48He's like...
09:48Oh, stop.
09:51Baseball pitchers don't need to have six-packs, first and foremost.
09:54And second, like, I hate that people are ripping him for having a little bit of a dad bod.
10:00Yeah, me too.
10:01It's not nice.
10:01Yeah, like, leave the dad bod people alone.
10:04But it's also, like, Paul Skeens could absolutely ruin some of these people that are coming
10:08at him.
10:09Like, beat him up.
10:10Oh, of course.
10:11You know?
10:11Like, just leave him alone.
10:12He's also standing next to Libby Dunn.
10:14Like, who's an...
10:15Is she attractive?
10:15She's chiseled.
10:17Very, very, very beautiful woman.
10:19It's not nice, though.
10:20Let him be on the beach.
10:21Paul Skeens is a hoss.
10:22Like, he is a Jones-A-Keefe Hoss of the Week nominee right there.
10:256'6", 260.
10:26Come on.
10:27Yeah.
10:27Beast.
10:28I don't think he looked bad, though.
10:29No, I meant more on the field.
10:30I wasn't even talking about those photos.
10:32It's not like he's...
10:34Oh, he's going...
10:34I mean, he wasn't...
10:36He wasn't, like...
10:37Suck again.
10:38Like, beer...
10:38He wasn't beer-belly fat.
10:40He was, like, just a little doughy.
10:42Yeah.
10:42I mean, he's probably not doing his sit-ups.
10:45He's not as fat as Travis Kelsey.
10:48Holy cow.
10:49He's wearing each other's braids.
10:51I don't like this.
10:52What is going on?
10:52This is scary.
10:53I'm going to go to a comedy show this weekend.
10:56Well, I mean, the guy locked down Libby Dunn.
10:59Exactly.
11:00It obviously doesn't matter to her what he looks like in the middle section.
11:03It doesn't matter to most women.
11:05Most women like a little something-something.
11:08They do?
11:08Yeah.
11:09Dad bods are hot.
11:10Are they still?
11:11Yes.
11:12The dad bod is still in it.
11:13You know what would have made schemes look better?
11:15Wicker.
11:19I'm never going to let that down.
11:20I'm sure a fat guy in Wicker would be getting women all hot and bothered.
