00:00Last night was an amazing start. His best start, maybe we've ever seen him.

00:03And then he's had a bunch of other ones where you're like, alright, you can score some runs, you're going to win some games.

00:07What were they showing last night? Six straight quality starts? Is that what it was?

00:10No, that's not true because the Cincinnati game, he only went five.

00:15Maybe it was a six straight. He came out of the bullpen, that was the resumed game.

00:18Oh, good call. Okay.

00:21But he also has had some buzzards luck, as you say.

00:24Yeah. Like, he, the Red Sox have lost four extra inning games that he started.

00:30Dang.

00:31So it's like, that's not great, but a 3.27 ERA for this season, and they've desperately needed this.

00:39Because this kind of, actually, not even this good, this is what I kind of thought Walker Buehler might be.

00:45Yeah.

00:45And maybe more like a 3.84 ERA, to be honest, but like something like that.

00:49I thought you were going to get out of him, and then you're like, let's see where everybody else is.

00:53I had very little faith in Buehler, to be honest.

00:55So like, he and Giolito were not guys that I thought you could count on.

01:00And, you know, long term, maybe they won't be, but right now they are.

01:04I mean, you know, not to chase this dragon again, but Breslow last year signed Giolito.

01:10That one's looking much better.

01:11Yeah.

01:13He also extended Buehler and Rafaela.

01:15I remember like a month ago.

01:16Yeah, you're right.

01:17We were like, boy, look at all the early guys they signed.

01:20I've always thought that's a red flag.

01:21Rafaela, Campbell, and Campbell is still, you know, in a separate group from these other two.

01:26Yeah.

01:26But Breslow's the one who paid those two.

01:28And now, if you want to say it's Henry's money, fine, but those are not Raphael Devers' extensions.

01:33Or even a Bregman.

01:34I mean, those are.

01:35John Henry doesn't even know they're on the team.

01:36Right?

01:36Do you think John Henry really knows Baio and Rafaela?

01:39No.

01:39Like, I would give Breslow some credit for those extensions.

01:43A month ago, I was ripping those extensions.

01:45I'm like, these guys all stink.

01:46Yeah.

01:46And none of them have paid off.

01:48They're starting to pay off.

01:50And it would be a great game if you sit down with John Henry and be like, name as many guys on the active roster.

01:56Five?

01:58Well, now Devers is gone.

01:59So four?

02:00Crochet, Bregman.

02:02Yeah, he knows those two.

02:03I feel confident.

02:04I would hope Roman Anthony, just because there's been so much hype and discussion around it, he lit a cigar for Bregman.

02:09He better know Bregman.

02:10Yeah, no, Bregman, I'm saying, I'm putting Bregman down.

02:12Duran?

02:13Yep.

02:13Oh, yeah.

02:14Probably Story, because Story makes a lot of money.

02:16Yep.

02:16Story makes a lot of money.

02:16He's very much aware of Trevor Story's bottom line.

02:19Yeah, so five.

02:19Five.
