00:00Yeah, I don't know if it's a good time to be a Red Sox right now.

00:01You're a game under .500.

00:03Maybe a week ago it was.

00:05I would say this week, not so much.

00:07Not a good week to be a Red Sox.

00:08And I don't even want to point to the standings or where the other teams are in the American League

00:14because I'd put that to the side.

00:16Yeah, you're not buried because nobody's running away with it in the American League,

00:20so you always have that in your back pocket, but it should be more about how you're playing.

00:24Are you going to go on a run?

00:25Are you going to play better?

00:27And not, well, we're kind of keeping pace.

00:29It's like, is that what you want?

00:30You want to be 81-81 and a couple games out of the wild card?

00:33No.

00:34You're worse than you were a year ago.

00:35Right.

00:35And that team was a joke.

00:36Yeah.

00:37So, I mean, it should be as simple as that.

00:39Where's the urgency?

00:40And I would tie that in at first base.

00:42You can jump in, 6-1-7, 7-7-9, 7-9-3-7.

00:46Early in the week, Monday, we gave you our plans at first base.

00:49I want Devers there.

00:50I want Roman Anthony up in the big club, DH-ing, playing some outfield.

00:53Keefe wants to slide Christian Campbell over to first base.

00:57He has your cleanup hitter, so you might as well.

00:59Get Marcelo Meyer up here playing second.

01:01Marcelo Meyer, friend of the show.

01:02Yes.

01:03Web gem yesterday.

01:04Deep in the hole.

01:05In Worcester.

01:06Great play.

01:06No, man.

01:07So, if he can do that at short, he could come up to the big leagues you would imagine

01:10and play some second base.

01:11Either plan is better than what they're doing, which, again, is Abraham Toro.

01:15Yeah.

01:16You know, base mark, though.

01:17Mixed in with some Romy Gonzalez.

01:19That's not going to cut it.

01:20That's the plan, apparently, short-term, for the Red Sox.

01:24Breslows seem to leave the door open with Rafael Devers.

01:26Cora has consistently slammed it shut.

01:29Cora before the game.

01:30This is good.

01:30All right.

01:31You talked about the Romy first base thing the other day.

01:34Have you had any conversations with him, though?

01:37No.

01:39Don't plan to?

01:40No.

01:41Just, I mean.

01:43You're not going to ask him?

01:44That's unbelievable.

01:45It's like not.

01:46That's like the Breslows team playoff team?

01:47Yeah.

01:48It's not.

01:49Is he going to play first base?

01:50You say no to that.

01:51You didn't talk to him?

01:51No, no.

01:52Have you asked him about it?

01:53Nope.

01:54Do you plan on it?

01:55Nope.

01:55Like, that's wild.

01:57It's honestly flabbergasting that they don't have a first baseman plan.

02:00Like, it's an obvious thing.

02:02Like, if you build a roster, you have your starting lineup, and then you have your replacements.

02:06You should have across the board, like, a depth chart.

02:10Like, if fans at home have, like, have a depth chart or access to a depth chart, how do you not?
