00:00I feel like this Friday night game is the swing game.
00:04If they win Friday, I think they win three out of four,
00:06and they might leave there with a tie in the division.
00:09What's your guess at where Trevor Story is come Friday night Yankee Stadium?
00:18I think he will be in the dugout.
00:20Okay, all right.
00:21Unfortunately.
00:22Okay.
00:24They're paying him so much money.
00:25There's enough people that think Monasterio is not good enough defensively
00:28at shortstop for some reason.
00:29They're going to bring him in.
00:30I don't know.
00:30I just – it's the same.
00:33It's not the topic of what Roman was addressing.
00:37It's that other players are going to have to deal with that
00:40when it pertains to the chemistry of the team,
00:42that this young guy that at least Wilson Contreras, according to Ken,
00:46said that they weren't big fans of the young guys making a big deal of themselves.
00:50So your reentry into the clubhouse is that you are in this way,
00:54and Trevor Story is also coming in.
00:56You're interrupting something that had been just so good.
00:58I'm not saying it means Trevor Story is awful.
01:01It's just it was working.
01:03Yeah.
01:03And baseball, more than any other sport, is about getting into a rhythm
01:07and having things be repeated over and over again,
01:09and they've been so successful, more successful over this span
01:12than any team in the history of the franchise.
01:14Yeah.
01:14So why are you jeopardizing that, whatever it is?
01:18Well, I think you're going to have to make room for them.
01:21You're going to have to send one of those marinara guys down.
01:28So whether it ends up being Tony Seagulls or Sogard or Mickey Gasper.
01:35But that's what they're going to do, though.
01:37I know, but that's going to – Curtis is suggesting that it's going to screw with the chemistry.
01:44I mean, I don't necessarily – because I look at baseball as kind of a different sport
01:50where it's like a lot of individual battles at the plate or on the mound.
01:54You know, in the outfield, it's like an individual battle or in the infield
01:59if you're making a specific play.
02:01I think that they're going to look at it if Trevor Story, and this is what we'll –
02:05I can't wait to talk to Bresbott, is up and healthy and ready to go.
02:11I don't think he's sitting on the bench.
02:13And from the way that they view him, I think he's going to be ready to –
02:19he's going to be right in that lineup.
02:20Okay, but he couldn't hit triple-A pitching two nights ago,
02:23and now you're going to throw him in at Yankee Stadium?
02:26I like, okay.
02:28I mean, I don't know.
02:29And he's going to take the spot of guys that have been producing for you?
02:31Like, I think that's the hardest thing that – the hardest decision they're going to have to make.
02:35Yeah.
02:35Yeah, I mean, but I think –
02:36And you're fine with that.
02:37Well, I'm not fine with it.
02:38I'm saying this is what I think they're going to do.
02:40When they look at Trevor Story, and this is just my opinion,
02:44and we can ask Bresbott that.
02:45I don't think he'll tell us the truth.
02:47But when they look at Trevor Story, they think that Trevor Story is the better player
02:51than anybody else that they could put there, both offensively and defensively.
02:56Although they were trying to find themselves a shortstop not so long ago.
02:59Yeah, for the long term.
03:01Yeah, and I agree with that.
03:02And I think they're trying to find a replacement and somebody for the long term.
03:06Trevor Story is not a long-term guy.
03:08But if they're saying, okay, we weren't able to get that guy, right now,
03:12if we have to choose between the guys that we have, whether it's Monasterio,
03:20Soul God, the guys that we have right now,
03:23we feel like Story gives us the best chance of being a better baseball team.
03:29And I feel like with Roman Anthony, it makes more sense,
03:32especially after the injury to Yoshida, where it's a baseball move as much as anything.
03:38Whereas Trevor Story is contractual.
03:41Like, you're paying a guy this amount of money, so you're bringing him up.
03:43Like, I don't care.
03:44Whatever, nothing to do with what Roman says or does off the field.
03:47There was a hole that was created by the injury to Yoshida,
03:50and they expedited the return.
03:52Would you agree?
03:53Yes.
03:53That they were like, okay, now we really need to get this guy into Portland,
03:56figure out what we have, because this is going to be an issue.
03:58But even for him, though, right?
04:00You're going to take a guy out of the lineup that is probably,
04:04really has shown he has a better bat than Roman Anthony this year,
04:08because when Roman Anthony was playing, he wasn't doing anything.
04:10I got a customer complaint, and I always respond to them immediately.
04:14You know that, Curtis.
04:16Right.
04:16That I didn't share the Roman Anthony comments to Chris Cotillo
04:21on being out in Boston and his reaction.
04:24Sorry.
04:25So I'm going to do that quick.
04:26When he was asked about being seen out in Boston and being criticized for that,
04:31Roman Anthony said,
04:32I won't really talk on that because it's not even something that is relevant,
04:37and it hasn't been relevant in our clubhouse.
04:40It's never been a problem, and it's never really even been a thing.
04:45I prioritize getting to bed and doing everything I can to show up
04:49and give it all to my teammates and to the fans.
04:52I think when things aren't going your way,
04:55and you're a 22-year-old kid that does anything other than just goes home
05:00and goes straight to bed, people have something to say.
05:03And he nailed it.
05:04And he's right about that.
05:05And he's right.
05:06He is right about that.
05:07Because we painted that picture.
05:08And, like, I wasn't on air during the time that this was a main storyline,
05:13and I was saying to everybody that asked,
05:16you're 22 years old, you're an MLB player in Boston,
05:20give the kid a break.
05:21Like, what would you be doing?
05:23And that's why I say if they were winning,
05:25this would not even be a story.
05:27He's not out, like, shirtless chugging beers
05:30in these videos or photos that surfaced,
05:33and there's not really that much out there.
05:35Like, to me, it was such a non-story to begin with
05:39because people just wanted the drama of it.
05:41But the narrative was already created.
05:43Right.
05:44Go ahead, Curtis.
05:45The narrative doesn't matter if he's good.
05:48That's the only thing that matters.
05:50It does matter.
05:51Mike Napoli still hasn't put a shirt on.
05:54I don't get the world that you live in.
05:57When people are saying things about you that are not true,
06:02I don't get the world that you go,
06:04don't say anything.
06:06Don't live in your truth.
06:08Like, there are people who don't think like that.
06:10You brought up something in the last segment
06:11that I have not given my honest opinion on on the radio
06:14because it serves me no benefit.
06:16I didn't say the radio.
06:18But I'm saying, well, what's the difference,
06:19Chris, and Tim, over the radio?
06:21What do you mean?
06:21Oh, my God.
06:22You don't know the difference between an actual interview
06:24and just giving your opinion on the radio?
06:27I would be not served by giving my opinion
06:29about the reality of the situation.
06:31But, Curtis, if you felt...
06:32No matter how accurate it is,
06:33I have been wronged a million times in my life.
06:35No, no, but listen to me.
06:36It was taken out of context by somebody
06:38who wanted to end my career.
06:40Curtis, Curtis, Curtis, Curtis, Curtis, just listen.
06:41But if you felt like what they were saying about you
06:45wasn't factual and it was wrong and it was lies,
06:49there are some people, I hate to say it,
06:51there are some people that live in this world
06:52that don't sit back and hold their tongue
06:55and just allow people to say things about them.
06:57When they're asked in a real interview,
06:59they give their real opinions.
07:01You have real-life experience with this.
07:03When I was in Minnesota
07:04and there was the whole potty-boat situation...
07:07This is huge because you are about to acknowledge
07:11for the first time ever being on the boat.
07:14No, no, no.
07:14I said, when I was in Minnesota,
07:16the picture...
07:17Oh, what's the truth?
07:18Oh, big tough guy.
07:19I'm about to tell you.
07:20Were you on the boat?
07:21The picture that they painted of us...
07:23Were you on the boat?
07:24...of all these athletes
07:25that were having a good time,
07:28just like everybody else does in America
07:31when it comes to a bachelor party
07:34or anything of those things,
07:35the picture that they painted about us
07:37was so fabricated.
07:40And so when I had the opportunity
07:42to speak to the media
07:44and when they asked questions,
07:45I wasn't holding my tongue and said,
07:47You spoke your truth.
07:48This is a lie.
07:49It wasn't a bunch of wild...
07:51So were you on the boat?
07:52It wasn't a bunch of wild people.
07:53You could Google it and find out.
07:55Wikipedia does not list you.
07:55I want to Google something
07:56when you're sitting right next to me.
07:58Wikipedia does not list you.
07:59It wasn't a bunch of wild dudes,
08:02but I was one of their leaders on the team,
08:05so it wasn't a bunch of wild dudes
08:08that were out there
08:09acting like they were crazy,
08:11doing all this,
08:12disrespecting people.
08:13Curtis, I'm from a world...
08:15Okay, so for the third time,
08:16were you on the boat?
08:17Listen, if somebody's lying about me,
08:19I'm going to speak my truth.
08:20Okay, so you were on the boat.
08:22He did say one of the...
08:24If I was lying, you would correct.
08:25No, no, no.
08:26But I'm doing what you said.
08:27Why would I answer?
08:28He said one of the deckhands
08:29had two giant life preservers.
08:33He did say that to me.
08:35But the point that I was trying to make, Greg,
08:37is that the picture that people were painting
08:40was not fair.
08:41No.
08:41Yeah, all right.
