00:00Speaking of pessimists, or maybe I would call them buzzkillers,
00:05there are some that I have seen who are upset that the Red Sox celebrated
00:11getting into the playoffs yesterday together as a team after a loss.
00:17Does anybody have an issue with that?
00:19No.
00:20Zero issue.
00:21No issue.
00:21Okay.
00:22I feel like I need to stand up for these guys because they were the worst team
00:27in baseball in July, and epic turnaround.
00:32Sean, did you find that audio from Peyton Tolley by any chance?
00:35I have audio of Peyton Tolley.
00:37I don't know exactly which cut you on it.
00:38Okay.
00:38Well, let's hear Peyton Tolley after the Sully yesterday.
00:42I mean, I think we can make a run.
00:44I think we got the guys.
00:45I think we can get hot, and we're just going to continue to play the way that we play
00:49and have that team baseball that we've been having.
00:53So I'm really excited to just be in this moment again with these guys.
00:57But, yeah, I mean, from whence they came to where they are,
01:02I think they deserve a little bit of a celebration.
01:05Chad Tracy should have celebrated harder.
01:07He actually was very composed once it happened.
01:09He shook hands.
01:10He was, like, very, you know, letting the guys celebrate,
01:13but he kind of took a back seat.
01:14Chad Tracy, take the interim tag off.
01:17Let that guy celebrate.
01:18Yeah.
01:19Tarps off for Tracy.
01:20Yeah, I mean, I've been part of teams where you lost and got into the playoffs
01:24because somebody else.
01:26That's what the season is, Curtis.
01:28Tarps off for Tracy October.
01:29All right.
01:30All right.
01:30Well, now the big thing about Tracy is we're going to really evaluate the postseason,
01:35but I don't have an issue with them celebrating.
01:37With our shirts off.
01:38Yeah, I don't have an issue with them celebrating where they are getting into the postseason.
01:43Well, you know how people are.
01:44They're like, well, you lost the game.
01:47You lost the series.
01:49You're backing your way in.
01:51What are you celebrating?
01:52Oh, shoot.
01:53This Red Sox team seems fun.
01:54I honestly, I could not have less of a problem with guys that play 162 games or whatever they
02:03are now, 154, 156 games into the season.
02:06They, I know it's baseball.
02:08It's not real world overcoming, but in the sports context, they overcame a lot.
02:13Yeah.
02:14They came together around an interim manager.
02:16You remember the dysfunction of the firing of Cora in Baltimore to get where they are
02:20is pretty freaking impressive.
02:22And now judges out, who knows if he'll be back with a wild card, whether he's going
02:27to be back or not, which would be a gift.
02:29If he's out, you're the favorite.
02:31Yeah.
02:31So a week from Tuesday tomorrow, it'll be, it'll be week from tomorrow.
02:36Game one of a three game series in New York.
02:40And we don't know timing yet.
02:43I heard you and Ken talking a little bit about it on Saturday and Ken thinks maybe there'll
02:48be the, the early nighttime game.
02:51That's because his show gets a ratings credit.
02:53He's running a push for the five o'clock.
02:55Oh, he wants to push for the five o'clock.
02:56Yeah.
02:56He gets the ratings bonus.
02:58Greg, your Boston Red Sox officially in the playoffs.
03:01Congratulations to the Boat Sox.
03:03We can hear from our guy, Craig Breslow, talking about this team with the big turnaround, making
03:08the playoffs.
03:09I'm proud of the players, the staff.
03:11This has been a, a turbulent season.
03:15But ultimately we talked from the beginning of the off season through spring training about
03:20putting together a team that we felt like was capable of getting to the post season, a
03:24deep post season run.
03:25This is, you know, certainly an accomplishment, but it's not the, the primary objective here.
03:31So, you know, we still got a bunch of important games ahead of us.
03:34All right.
03:35Reasonably good weekend for the Roman empire.
03:37He had two Zinfandels.
03:40Um, but you know, Roman, Roman is, uh, when he is hitting the ball, he's hitting it far
03:46and hitting it deep.
03:47So streaking at the right time.
03:49Yeah.
03:49Um, so that is good news.
03:51And you'll begin that series a week from tomorrow.
03:55Um, most likely in New York.
03:57So definitely New York.
03:58And so we will be odds are that we'll go, I don't think either team's winning the first
04:03two games.
04:04So we will be back in Newport for the deciding clinching game three, like we were last year.
04:11So we got to find which, which a locale we will be at, but it'll be a great night again.
04:16I mean, hopefully we'll remember it.
04:18They got to win this series.
04:19Um, you have to win this playoff series.
04:22If not, it was all for nothing.
04:23In my opinion, because, um, I mean, it is what it is like beginning of the season.
04:28I know going into the season, the expectations were deep post season run.
04:33And I know the season didn't play out the way you thought it would play out, but looking
04:38at the talent that you've had, you have throughout the whole season, like you go into New York
04:44and not winning this series is just a disappointment, you know, especially if they don't have Aaron
04:49judge, I think it becomes a much bigger disappointment if they're missing judge, which is, you know,
04:54and you have everybody except for Garrett crochet, which, and I know Curtis, like he is your
04:59ace, but you have Sonny gray, you have range of scores, you have Peyton totally.
05:04Uh, those are, those three guys are very capable of taking you into a deep playoff run.
05:11You know?
05:12I mean, the Yankees have certainly have the better ACE, uh, side, side young candidate, but
05:19I think you have, you look at, you look at the three, I think, I think you have better
05:24pitching heading into the, you're a better team when they don't have Aaron judge, you,
05:29I don't know what the odds are shine, but I know the Yankees have home field.
05:32So that's a, you know, a feather in their cap, but just roster versus roster.
05:36I think you have a better roster and even Aaron judge.
05:38I mean, look at Aaron judge post-season numbers, like great, he like great regular season player.
05:44I mean, I understand that he is, I would love to have him on this Red Sox team, not taking
05:49that away from him, but he's one of those guys that whether it's like, whether we talk
05:53about the Josh Allen's and Lamar Jackson's in football, he's one of those guys when it
05:57comes to post-season performance, hasn't lived up to what you see from him in the regular
06:03season.
