00:00I can't imagine why the Red Sox, and this means John Henry, this means Craig Breslow, Theo,

00:07I can't imagine not wanting to invest in this team.

00:09The way the arrow's gone up since the Devers trade, there's a palpable buzz.

00:13And I know it's been a, you know, a bit of a curve, riding a wave.

00:17Yeah.

00:17But I can't imagine sitting here today on July 9th.

00:20What are they?

00:21Are they a game out of the wild card?

00:22A game and a half?

00:23No, one game.

00:23A game out.

00:24And they're a game behind Seattle.

00:26They're a game and a half behind Tampa Bay.

00:28Who they play this weekend.

00:29A four-game series coming up.

00:30So, like, I can't imagine not wanting to invest in this team.

00:33And I will be so dissatisfied if they don't.

00:36And my fear, Keefe, is they're not going to for a multitude of reasons.

00:39We've talked about one already this week.

00:43You know, the fake investment or the fake return.

00:45Oh, Alex Bregman's coming back.

00:46Yoshida's coming back.

00:47What about Kyle Harrison and AAA?

00:49Actually, don't look at those numbers.

00:50Nick informed me today.

00:51They're horrible.

00:52Kyle Harrison having a tough time?

00:53It's an adjustment from the Pacific Coast League to the...

00:57Well, everybody knows Polar Park.

00:59International League?

00:59Yeah.

01:00Yep.

01:01Very hitter-friendly down in Polar Park.

01:03We've been there.

01:03Anderson Hicks.

01:04They both suck.

01:04That guy's not wrong.

01:05That guy's on this.

01:06Honestly, honestly.

01:07Scouting report by that guy?

01:08They made the trade?

01:09Correct.
