00:00Let me first start off by saying I hope nobody's fired.

00:02I hope everybody has their job at all times.

00:04I don't wish that upon anybody, but I would fire Alex Gore

00:07because right now he's not doing anything well,

00:10and that's not hyperbole.

00:11You look at every responsibility for a manager,

00:14and he's not doing a good job right now.

00:17His pitching staff isn't performing well.

00:19The hitters are a mess.

00:21The fielding is once again at the bottom of the league,

00:24tied with, or worse than the Rockies,

00:26one of the worst teams in baseball history.

00:28They don't even run the bases all that well.

00:29There's maybe two, three players having a good season.

00:32One of them is Garrett Crochet, who he pulled early from a game,

00:35which led to a loss.

00:37The other is Rafael Devers, who he's afraid to ask to play a position.

00:41He can't even ask him to play first, can't even ask him to play third.

00:43He's afraid of him.

00:44And then it's Alex Bregman who's hurt.

00:45So those three guys are playing well.

00:47Everybody else is playing poorly.

00:49You thought he was this great communicator.

00:51You have guys like Liam Hendricks bitching about not pitching enough

00:54out of the bullpen.

00:55None of the young guys are playing well.

00:57You've got a couple of guys take step back from last year.

01:00Jaron Duran, Tanner Houck, et cetera.

01:02Okay.

01:02That was a good disclaimer.

01:04Good disclaimer in the beginning.

01:06I want everybody to have their job for as long as they want it.

01:08I want to make it clear.

01:10But this guy needs to go.

01:13This guy's killing the team right now.

01:15The guy's a mess.

01:16Okay.

01:17Okay.
