00:00Are you right back in, Meggo?

00:02Back in pending.

00:03Okay.

00:03Pending, and I'll get into, I don't want to step on my lead

00:06because it has a lot to do with the trade deadline,

00:09but I think that they have to show something against Tampa.

00:12Like, that's what it comes down to now.

00:13You've got four games against the Rays.

00:15We know that you can bully these crappy teams at the basement.

00:20Can you do it against a real team in your division?

00:22And then I'll declare myself back in.

00:25Not that impressive when you are beating up on the worst team in Major League Baseball.

00:29Well, you're beating up on them, which is good.

00:32Like, you're taking care of business.

00:34You can only play who's on the schedule, but I'm not going to do backflips.

00:37It's nice to see Yoshida looking like he did.

00:40Right.

00:40But at the same time, like, you got Walker Buehler back on the mound tonight.

00:45I don't want to, like, start off on a very negative note,

00:48but you got a little something to figure out there.

00:51Well, we are going to get to talk to Craig Breslow one more time

00:56before the All-Star break, and we'll do that at 9 this morning.

01:00Right.

01:01And that's the Red Sox front office report.

01:03And I don't know why, Megal, you're like a lot of people go down this road of,

01:08well, you got to do it against Tampa Bay.

01:10You've played Tampa Bay once this season, and you won that series.

01:14Like, so they've done it before.

01:16You swept the Yankees, and you took a series from the Yankees

01:19when they were first place in the division.

01:22So they have proven that they could beat the good teams.

01:25Like, I don't buy it when people say, well, it's the Rockies.

01:29It's, well, you've proven it you could do it against the good teams.

01:32The thing is.

01:32But you've also proven not so long ago that you could rip off six losses in a row

01:38for the first time in the last three years.

01:40Right.

01:40So that's what she's saying.

01:42Right, but that's the thing with this team when you look at them all year

01:45that's kind of really put them where they are behind the eight balls

01:48because they had those five losses in a row, another six losses in a row.

01:53Like, that's where they have to change and not let that happen

01:57because they can beat the good teams,

01:59but you can't go into these funks multiple times throughout the season.

02:03Yeah, and I agree that they've shown it against Tampa before,

02:06but they're also a different team right now

02:08because they have Willi Abreu back,

02:10because they now have Masataka Yoshida back,

02:12hopefully getting Bregman back sometime this week.

02:15Yeah.

02:15Like, who are you going to be?

02:16For this series.

02:17Who are you going to be when you're that complete product?

02:19Are you going to be able to put it all together immediately

02:21against a divisional foe?

02:23Well, that's why, and I pray to whoever one prays to

02:29that they don't rely on this brief period of time

02:34in which they have been very successful going into the deadline

02:40and think that they can stand pat with these guys

02:43because you're getting guys back,

02:45because you're getting Bregman back,

02:47because you got Yoshida back,

02:51because you got Rafaela,

02:53who is hitting the cover off the baseball.

02:56I hope you don't just sit there and go,

02:58all right, this is what we thought this team was,

03:01and that's what we thought that they were going to beheading for.

03:03All right.

03:03Here we go.

03:04Here we go.

03:05Here we go.
