00:00Rob Bradford so baseball huh yay baseball yay baseball and I will say this the Chilean Myers
00:08weren't complaining about anything like that so if they can do it I know I'm dating myself
00:13the uh with the Chilean Myers reference I'll give a better reference I'll give you a more
00:17up-to-date reference okay misery which is me driving back from New York for five hours on
00:22Saturday night oh my goodness like what is what is kind of to say like what is happening with when
00:28they take you on these different routes to avoid traffic like it almost makes it worse it does
00:33make it worse I know why do you allow that you have a choice of your life because I am
00:37a slave to
00:37technology and uh yeah I mean what do you want me to get out the triple-a triptych yes you
00:43know like
00:43the map yeah I'm not joking Rob I was using like the the uh my gps one time and it
00:50told me I was
00:51driving up to Canada and it was telling me to take this separate route so I went out of the
00:55way because
00:55it looked like there was traffic and I'm not kidding you it brought me to a ferry I didn't
00:59realize where it was taking me and I had to sit and wait for a ferry to take me over
01:04a lake it's
01:05like the office episode Michael Scott driving into the pond uh we but we should you know I should
01:10know speaking of bad news uh bad news from the Red Sox they just announced Wilson Contreras on the
01:1610 date injured list oh with a hamstring the good news is the best hitter in baseball is back
01:22Mickey Gasper oh yeah good oh okay well that well that that part's good we were mentioning that I
01:28thought something's been off with Contreras since he got hit in the head obviously he's you know
01:32talked to Chad Tracy about not being able to be 100 sometimes thus the booze that he ended up getting
01:37a couple times um were you kind of feeling that same thing with Contreras yeah like when when we
01:44said this when the booze especially the second round of booze about running it out that was dumb
01:48for the people to boo him because we already had known we we had documented proof that the guy was
01:54banged up and all I think it was even more than just the hamstring but it was something where he
01:59was dealing with and and now all these people who booed okay now he's on the injured least how do
02:04you
02:04feel now so how do you feel everybody well I I actually wonder if this was planned this is partly
02:09the reason they sent Gasper down they knew this was going to happen Contreras was going to gut through
02:13the Yankee series then take some time off get ready for the playoffs and second part of that question
02:18is this what's happening with Sonny Gray they're pushing him back they're really just resetting
02:22it's getting everybody ready for the for the playoff was that the first one wasn't a question
02:25it was a statement pretty much do you agree with my statement uh sure no I don't know I don't
02:30I mean
02:30I think that I think that they probably if they kept Wilson Contreras around they probably wanted to
02:35see if he could sort of power through and just get to the point where and I don't know if
02:38he tweaked
02:39it yesterday or not but probably wanted to get to see if he could go through and he couldn't I
02:43mean
02:43you have to the second part I think is the more interesting one which is Sonny Gray okay everything
02:50is about getting everybody right you're what five five and a half up you five up on Cleveland six
02:57and a half up on the elimination you you have a decent cushion here you have a schedule that's
03:03favorable so you have to get these guys right because if you don't have Wilson Contreras right
03:08if you don't have Sonny Gray right then I'm sorry it's gonna you're gonna play like one day
03:13into October and say see you later when did he hurt his hamstring like jogging the first base
03:19that's what I'm saying what he didn't hurt a hamstring this was this was planned pre-planned
03:24this is why gas you don't think he got a hamstring injury uh but he's been he could have played
03:28through it but he's been playing through it right but now they got through the Yankees so now they're
03:32taking the week off I mean yeah it's get right I agree with them by the way they should give
03:36Wilson Contreras some time off I mean as someone because I always relate it back to myself as
03:40someone who has pulled their hamstring like eight times it's uh you need you do not want to did you
03:46ever do your hamstring oh yeah yeah you do not want to pop your hamstring like you you if you
03:50have the
03:51option of letting it heal at all it's kind of like an oblique in a way it's terrifying yeah yeah
03:57it hurts
03:57rich rich you better not run the marathon you're gonna pop a hand oh dude it's gotta open your stride
04:02up
04:03no you know what you do here's when I sick brag when I ran the marathon I had hamstring issues
04:07you sit on a snowbank like when you halfway through when you're training you sit on the snowbank think
04:12about that oh yeah that is built-in uh ice compression chamber it is awesome it's like oh it is
04:19awesome
04:20but then you're sterilizing the boys you don't need that come on man yeah well it's a trade-off you're
04:25playing for the tie all right I want to just because everything went wrong yesterday and and obviously
04:31the whole weekend was you know pretty ugly but like what worried you the most about what you saw
04:38this weekend boy I have two things number one continuing not to hit home runs yeah I think in
04:45the last in the last seven losses that they've had at Yankee Stadium they've hit a total of two home
04:50runs you just gotta hit home runs they this doom them last time they played the Yankees in playoffs
04:56you have to hit home runs that's why I think it wasn't a bad move to promote Roman Anthony to
05:02promote Trevor Story because those guys at least have the skill set to do that so that is something
05:07that they have to get going and without Wilson Contreras you know he's the guy who's been
05:12hitting home run for them so that's not a good thing the other thing is Ranger Suarez is paid to
05:17pitch in big games half of his contract is basically saying hey we understand that you
05:22might only pitch 140 innings but when the big games roll around there's a reason why you have a
05:271-4-8 ERA in the 11 postseason outings you have to perform in big games yesterday even though it's
05:33August was a big game that is just a fact he gave up six runs I know that they didn't
05:39make the catch
05:40and the whole thing whatever you didn't pitch well you need him to pitch well and if you don't have
05:45him pitching well then what's the point like this is what this guy is brought here to do
05:50you
05:50you
