00:00What do you make of his injury and everything

00:02that went on over the weekend?

00:04I think that there is some real pain associated

00:08with this recovery.

00:10I think that they expect that, that that's part of it.

00:14And I think the Red Sox did not like the way

00:16that he talked about it, the way that he was kind of tongue

00:18in cheek with two different reporters.

00:20Alex Gore was pretty vocal about it over the weekend.

00:22I mean, we all love Tristan.

00:24His personality is so unique.

00:26And he is a delight to be around a lot of the time.

00:30I think this was one of those moments

00:32where it went a little far.

00:33You know, you combine it with the ESPN interview,

00:35telling the story about his dad dragging him off the field.

00:38And, you know, then he had to clarify that.

00:40Like, everybody wants Tristan to be himself.

00:43And God knows he is.

00:44I mean, the yoga and all that stuff.

00:46And again, he's a great character

00:48and his teammates love him.

00:49But I think the Red Sox would rather

00:52that right now through his recovery,

00:54he just kind of keeps his head down,

00:56doesn't try to make jokes to reporters,

00:59and just focuses on getting back on the field

01:01and helping the Red Sox.

01:02And, you know, he's got doubles in the last couple of games.

01:04So he's trending in the right direction.

01:05I think the pain is real.

01:08I think when he said the thing about feeling stabbed

01:10in the stomach, you know, gunshot wounds

01:12and all this stuff, that really did bother the Red Sox

01:15because they hadn't heard anything like that.

01:17So I think it's just kind of a part of his learning curve

01:20of we want you to have fun and have some personality,

01:23but probably not when we're talking about, you know,

01:26coming back from injury,

01:27we'd like you to just kind of take that

01:28a little bit more seriously.
