Transcript
00:00complaining i somehow got sucked into giving a considerable amount of my evening to that socks
00:08game oh yeah it was it ended like after 11 so if you rolled the whole thing out you gave a lot of
00:14time to that game yeah i mean i was uh i i think the yankee series dragged me back in curtis i was
00:22out right and then winning that series dragged me back in and they were they were in it last night
00:29they were in it to win it last night but just could not get it done the reason you were dragged
00:34in was not the yankees it was roman anthony uh it may have been roman anthony maybe roman anthony
00:38makes his major league debut for the red socks last night in fact the big three all on the field
00:47with the big ball club for the first time ever last night at fenway park so that is exciting when it
00:53comes to the future he's still young you know i mean his first game out you could tell the nerves
00:57got to him he made that little error and um you know he's you know he's still got to get a feel
01:03for things i mean at least that's what lou was saying i think when you look at that game lou kept
01:07talking about it uh bale did a good job yep but your bullpen falls apart and if you're gonna have
01:13to win games like 11 to 10 you know you you end up scoring what would you score eight runs in that game
01:20yeah and if you can't win that game like that yeah they still i think were four for 26 when there are
01:29runners in scoring positions so uh you can't i mean you just you can't you gotta win these games like
01:37time is running out yeah um although they're competitive and they're in it and the that's
01:44that's about all you get there's no positive and they're in it against the rays what's their
01:49payroll well i mean the rays uh they're they're a wildcard team right now if the season was to end
01:54today curtis i'm trying to be positive okay what's there to be positive about today well i mean i mean
02:00isn't it the manager's job as well to manage a bullpen yes yeah yes yeah i would give cora an f
02:07this year f and i you know it's awesome that but did anybody else have the feeling of like
02:14why why today because the people who said they're not bringing them up it's because contract well
02:20that's not the case and they had actually just won consecutive games against the yankees so it was
02:25like the first time in a while i have the answer it was the vibe the vibe was better nice car by the
02:30way that kid he does have a very very nice and he knows where the keys are which is important
02:36unlike marcelo meyer and it had gas all right what's he got a bmw uh i think that was that
02:42might have been a porsche yeah i don't think that was a bmw what was it curtis you know what it was
02:46it's a nice looking ride i don't know what the car was that's right we've been asking for it so it was
02:51awesome i was honestly thinking of going over to the game and then it was gross out no i mean we've
02:55been we've been asking for it so you got him up you know now let's see what he could do um and you
03:00you know you play him you probably rotate him with uh william bray you in the outfield kevin
03:07millar was on mlb network last night saying that he smells greatness out of roman anthony so roman
03:11anthony yeah okay well um the red sox lose in extra innings and you can talk about that all morning
03:20long with us and all day long here on boston sports original weei would you like to go directly
03:28to amsterdam for a phone call on the red sox this morning all right red light district of all places
03:35probably i don't know afternoon there i would guess alan yes i am in amsterdam and i suffered and
03:45suffered until 3 48 a.m wow watching that game and they brought in a reliever with an era of seven
03:57when the game was tied and i had a meltdown and was screaming at the tv at 4 a.m probably disturbing my
04:06hotel neighbors yeah and i can't take it anymore so i'm moving on to preseason football i'm ready for the
04:13that be that so um i was just yeah so i just i think so curtis stole my thunder the bullpen
04:20management and the bullpen themselves are just horrible and uh you know it's just i cannot stay
04:28up another night till 4 a.m and watch another red sox game so i'm done all right i guess the question i
04:34would ask cora is chapman can he only go one inning like is that all he's good for heim bloom
04:43essentially said that okay on this show a couple weeks ago uh breslow's unique i mean well yeah
04:49sorry craig breslow said that on this show all right same guy uh you know both yalees curtis yeah
04:55but uh he said they get very concerned about anything that's what he has done all right his
05:03whole career okay so he's just a one-inning guy that's what yeah he's a he's a one-inning guy yeah
05:08i mean kelly got squeezed a little bit on a couple of uh balls that could have been strikes that
05:14maybe make the i don't know if it makes the difference but you get in that position there
05:19i still i love the small ball but they don't want to play it man they don't want to play the small ball
05:24are we going to have a wiggy apology for infield in mayor on the edge of the grass ball gets by him
05:30oh by the way would you like is it too early for the hardo text of the morning curtis uh yeah no it's
05:39never too early all right seven eight one text not a single player on the field for the socks last
05:45night knows what the infield fly rule is and that's on your guy alex cora greg first of all alex cora is
05:54not he's not necessarily my guy uh but uh i mean who doesn't know what the infield fly rule is and
06:01and the very all the various variations right wait did wiggy send that to you uh did what did
06:06wiggy send that to you no no oh okay no no well you said a hardo text of the day he was doing some
06:12hardo moves when breslau was on last week i didn't know if wiggy had sent you that yeah i just asked
06:16some baseball you know getting deep into the baseball weeds wiggy does the infield high rule yeah well
06:21the problem was you can't call off the catcher late when as an all-city catcher the catcher i think
06:26in that position is making a play on the baseball you're talking about the pop-up and then yeah and
06:31meyer calls him off way late and i think that's kind of what you know well he calls him off he doesn't
06:38make the catch yeah and then guys uh are advancing i don't think either team knew the particulars of the
06:46infield fly rule last night but i don't know that that's on alex cora i i would assume that's
06:51on your little league coach or at least a coach at some point that coached you in minor league
06:57baseball i would say and no big deal it wasn't that long of a review but you know how the nfl will
07:02like quickly immediately they have a some note the head ref has an earpiece and he gets note from the
07:08nfl that says up it was actually incomplete where yesterday the runner at first was called out i mean
07:14called safe than out the connor wong ken was in our text text thread going nuts about the rbi that
07:18wasn't it was immediately clear that he was out like you could just instead of the five minute
07:24delay you could just say okay he's out don't you think like instead of having to go over and then
07:27go to new york i mean because we all saw it the first replay you see it should just come straight
07:31down from up top is what you're saying yeah yeah connor wong almost had an rbi he almost did
07:37he almost drove in a run but doesn't get credit for the rbi that he did so in 20 years when
07:43baseball fans are asked about mookie bets and you say it was for connor wong jeter downs and uh
07:52alex verdugo what do you think people will say ah that was a dumb trade what the hell were they
07:57thinking why would you get rid of a guy like that why wouldn't you just pay him pay him the extra 50
08:02the worst trade in boston sports history yeah the worst trade i've ever seen but i don't know you know
08:06who the hell knows you can never tell with these players you know listening to mookie bets
08:10did he really want to stay here you know it's like he said he did but who the hell knows you
08:16know i don't know i don't know if he necessarily did yeah but you could you could make the argument
08:20that prior to the make good of the number one overall pick the luca trade was actually better
08:25for the mavs than that trade was for the red sox like the worst trade in nba history at the time
08:31luca well yeah in luca's trade you got a not you actually got a real player and um anthony davis so
08:39the red sox made a worse deal yeah i mean you got you you ultimately you moved on from um
08:46mookie bets and you didn't get a player of close to his caliber back yeah you got a guy that showed
08:52up late high
08:52you
08:53you
