00:00And the old Jimmy Fun Karma leads to another good old-fashioned ass kicking at Fenway.
00:040-2 pitch.
00:05There's a deep drive down the right field line.
00:06It's hooking near the pole.
00:07It is a towering fly.
00:09It's a home run.
00:11Hard to judge from here as it went past the pesky pole.
00:15But it's fair and a home run and a tie game on Rutschman's first as a member of the Red
00:20Sox.
00:21It's 4-4.
00:23How about Rutschour?
00:25What do you think?
00:26It's Rutschour.
00:27I like it.
00:27Thank you, Stiz.
00:28I mean, come on.
00:29It's his first home run.
00:30We already got, like, nicknames and cool little mottos.
00:32We can't do that yet.
00:33Although, I did text.
00:34Don't Rutsch to judgment.
00:36Oh, man.
00:37I love it.
00:38It is bad.
00:39Where's Ted to kick your ass when we need it?
00:42What are we doing?
00:43No, but I texted Will Fleming this morning.
00:45And I said, you know, how much did you want to call that Adley Rutschman home run last night?
00:48And, of course, he was all class.
00:49But how cool is that?
00:50After just a dog turd of a start for the newest member of your Boston Red Sox, all of a
00:55sudden, you know, Adley Rutschman's becoming who he thought he was.
00:58And he's benched today, unfortunately.
00:59I was looking for a little momentum.
01:00They put Wong in.
01:01That's fine.
01:01It's a day game.
01:02Why do they bench him?
01:03Eh, just they get to give Wong.
01:04I get him off his feet two days or whatever.
01:07I guess they're taking it easy on him.
01:08Now, Wong isn't, like, officially Tully's guy, right?
01:10That's not why he's doing it, is it?
01:11I don't think.
01:12I think they're just trying to ease up on Adley.
01:15He had a good game.
01:15And let him feel good going into the weekend.
01:17Sure.
01:17Why not when someone's, like, hot as hell?
01:18You just, like, cool him down on the bench.
01:21Yeah, you're right.
01:21That's a little weird.
01:23That is kind of weird.
01:23See?
01:24That's why the interim tag's on.
01:25I guess so.
01:26That's right.
01:26Damn it.
01:27I was keeping the interim tag the entire season.
01:31So, I guess I was right.
01:32Well, last night, obviously, Notch's first home run.
01:35The Sox win at 9-4.
01:37And after having one hit in his first 17 at-bats as a member of the Sox,
01:41it was great.
01:42Got to see him go two for four, a home run, a walk, three RBI.
01:46It was a huge run, too, because they had just given up the grand slam.
01:48Yeah.
01:49So, you're up 3-0, and then Ranger gives up the slam to really the best hitter
01:52in their lineup.
01:53Yeah.
01:532-0 pitch meatball.
01:54And it's quiet at Fenway.
01:56And then Rutschman ties it.
01:57And then your guy takes over after that.
01:59Our guy, Lorenzo's guy.
02:00Oh, Lorenzo.
02:01Oh, by the way, how about our hometown boy, Mickey Gasper, huh?
02:062-1 pitch.
02:07Swing and a well-hit ball straightaway center.
02:08The center fielder, Lawler, back of the wall.
02:10It is gone.
02:12Mickey Gasper homers for the second time in as many nights.
02:17His first two career home runs at Fenway Park.
02:21And the Red Sox lead 7-4.
02:24All Gasper, no break.
02:26Jeez, man.
02:27I mean, I had all night to.
02:28It's going to be a day.
02:29It's going to be a day.
02:31We get to see each other.
02:32It's funny.
02:33We're all excited because the money we raise, I think we're all feeling ourselves a little bit.
02:36Hey, those are good.
02:36I'm not going to hold you back.
02:37I will not hold you back.
02:39Two games, two dongs.
02:40Gasper had reached base four times from the number nine spot.
02:43That was awesome.
02:44But as cool as it was, by the way, I think we all agree.
02:48Caleb Durbin had a slide for the ages yesterday.
02:50It was incredible.
02:51And seeing it live was awesome.
02:53But man, the slow-mo, the way he rolled on his side, like to avoid getting tagged, it was like
03:00when Neo went bullet time in the Matrix.
03:02It was like this awesome slow move.
03:04And, you know, Durbin, you do our show, good things happen.
03:07That was just, it was cool.
03:09I mean, as I said, when you see it, because I was at the game, it's great.
03:11But the minute you see that replay, you realize just how amazing that slide was.
03:16And I saw Merloni, back to Gasper for a second, just talking, because Yoshida is the one injury that we
03:20think is probably stuck.
03:21He's probably done for the year, unfortunately.
03:24The bullpen guys, they're hopeful.
03:25But Gasper can kind of fill that role to lose point if he's just a lefty back, because he's a
03:30switch hitter.
03:30But if you just keep him as a lefty, don't need to start him, and maybe you're better off for
03:35it.
03:35Because I know Yoshida's been good, but he's been streaky.
03:37I think Gasper can fill that role off the bench, and they're actually, they're kind of finding a good group,
03:43a roster.
03:44They're all fitting together all of a sudden.
03:45It's been nice.
03:45Yeah, it's been nice to see that when, you know, you put a piece in, for the most part, they've
03:50been able to deliver.
03:51Because that's obviously, it doesn't always happen that way.
03:54By the way, Adley Rutschman addressed something yesterday that I asked Durbin during his interview with our show yesterday.
04:01Can you describe the Oli Head experience?
04:03The experience?
04:05There's not a great visual coming out of that thing.
04:07So, yeah.
04:09And it doesn't smell that bad.
04:10So, I promise.
04:14I stole your question.
04:15Oh, I mean, listen, you know, listen, I had to ask, I had to ask Siegler and Durbin about the
04:19Wally Head.
04:20Because this, do you have it right there, Stiz?
04:21Okay.
04:22Because whenever I see them do this, for some reason, this is all I think.
04:27Does somebody wash that Wally Head?
04:29Because does it smell awful when you put that thing on?
04:32You think it would smell worse, honestly.
04:34They must wash it.
04:36Yeah, they have to wash it.
04:37It doesn't smell nearly as bad as it should, especially with this guy putting it on.
04:40I mean, you've got Bowser putting it on.
04:42Yeah.
04:42I mean, it smells way too good.
04:44Way too good.
04:45For them not to clean it.
04:46Personally, I'm not, like, when I put it on, I'm not sniffing it and smelling it all around.
04:50So, I guess Durbin, I guess that's what Durbin does.
04:53I guess that's what Durbin does.
04:53That's what Durbin does.
04:53Oh, you admit it, you are.
04:54I mean, it's a bunch of sweaty guys running around the base.
04:57Put that thing on.
04:58You're just wiping the sweat all over it.
04:59I don't know why.
05:00Sitting at home, I'm just like, that thing must smell awful.
05:03It's like, every time they put it on, I just think of that scuzzy Pepe the Frog-looking thing
05:08with, like, the hard breath of a dozen sweaty people who just ran full speed around the bases.
05:12Well, that stuck from last year, obviously, the Wally head, and it's fine.
05:15But so now they're doing this thing when they get on the base with the hands over the head,
05:18which I think is mocking Roman Anthony.
05:20There was, like, a TikTok video of Roman when he was a kid, like, dancing awkwardly.
05:23So, and I think that's stuck.
05:26Arcan was saying that the Diamondbacks were mocking that last night,
05:28which is kind of an interesting approach.
05:30So, when they got on base, they were, I don't know if they do that to get, like,
05:33for every team, which is kind of brilliant.
05:34Like, if you just get on base and do the other team's celebration or whatnot.
05:38Okay, that's a great point, because I've never known why they do that.
05:41It's a Roman Anthony mocking thing?
05:43That's a pair.
05:44It was a viral TikTok video he had when he was a young kid.
05:47Okay.
05:47Him dancing.
05:48He's doing, like, hip thrusts and, like, it's awesome.
05:50But, by the way, the man is coming back.
05:53I mean, so he's got to, maybe, I don't know.
05:57You asked some of the guys about Roman and interesting responses.
06:01I want to play Wilson Contreras' response when I asked him about the return.
06:05I want to play Wilson Contreras' response when I asked him about the return.
06:05I want to play Wilson Contreras' response when I asked him about the return.
06:05I want to play Wilson Contreras' response when I asked him about the return.
06:05I want to play Wilson Contreras' response when I asked him about the return.
