00:00because i do think there's a fallacy on the red socks they don't play well against good teams

00:03i think that's incorrect it's not good teams i think it's like the aces no no so i i would agree

00:08with that nuance to be honest like they're five and one against the yankees yep they're eight and

00:13two against tampa you know look at other teams that are in the playoff picture in the american

00:18league they they got swept by detroit so throw them out cleveland's playing very well they won

00:22a series against cleveland earlier this year they split with seattle who they're duking it out with

00:26for a playoff spot they haven't played houston yet that's pretty much the playoff picture in

00:29the american oh i'm sorry and the blue jays destroyed them but that's pretty much the

00:33playoff picture in the american league i don't think they can't beat good teams right they might

00:37have trouble against real high-end pitching which is why a bat is rapidly i know rapidly moving up my

00:45list for what this team needs and you just highlighted it first base dh right hand well

00:50let me also introduce this to you and i know neither one of us are are huge fans walker bueller walker

00:56bueller pitching the way he's pitched i know you're making a face people can't see it if they're not

01:01watching on twitter youtube but you're making a real face yeah but if walker bueller and we said

01:05the same thing about giolito and baio it was like i don't really trust him it's like oh another good

01:09one oh another good one oh another good one so if walker bueller who went seven innings one earned

01:14yesterday prior to that against tampa six innings three runs not amazing that's a quality start

01:19prior to that it was five innings three runs but two of them were earned so this month three starts

01:24era of three yeah his e his season era has dropped from 645 to 572 i'm not saying he's taking quite a

01:32bunch uh quite a chunk out of that i'm not trying to rely on him however does that change at all when

01:37you see the team struggling against good pitching i hope not still want to start a pitcher over a bat

01:41well i would just i mean i want both but like if you had to pick one i wonder if walker bueller

01:45changes the the equation well to me i don't even factor walker bueller into it so i i might still want

01:50to bat more than an arm but i i if they're relying on walker bueller for anything they're morons and

01:55i i've been bullish on on he had a tough month of june he got right it was over 11 for june

02:02other than that he's kind of an average
