The transcription is from a Red Sox podcast where the hosts celebrate the team's recent success, including a series win against the White Sox highlighted by strong offensive performances, such as Trevor Story's seven home runs in seven games and Rafael Devers leading the majors in hits. They emphasize high team morale, crediting manager Alex Cora's steady leadership and the contributions of both stars and role players like Alex Verdugo and Christian Vázquez. The hosts share personal anecdotes about sacrifices for the team, like losing sleep or enduring cold temperatures, and criticize negative online commentators who doubted the Red Sox earlier in the season. A recurring theme is the avoidance of a specific jinxed phrase or topic, hinted to be related to June 28th, which fans and hosts refrain from mentioning to preserve the team's winning momentum. The discussion underscores optimism about the team's potential and camaraderie among players and fans.
[MUSIC] Ortiz fights it off center field. Damon run into Blake and he can keep on running to New York. [MUSIC] >> It's a successful Red Sox players have won the year. The Boston Red Sox are world champions. >> I can't sure but I don't have my illustrator today but what happens to Pete's? [MUSIC] >> Pete's off from the city. A new light is on a big day at 7. [MUSIC] >> All right, welcome back to the name redacted podcast. America's most beloved podcast, the most downloaded Red Sox podcast on the internet. It is 1238 AM. Tyler has to be up at 4 AM so he can go to work. I said go to bed, I said I can do this, me and Jake got this and Tyler was like, nope, fuck it. We're doing it. We're doing it live for this team. I thought that I was making personal sacrifices because I don't know if you saw my tweet about the air conditioner. Last week it was hot so I put my AC on 62 which is pretty cold. And it was only hot for a couple days but the Red Sox kept winning so I just kept my AC on 62 and it's been fucking, I mean it's not been like cold but it hasn't been warm either. I'm just watching these games freezing my nuts off but that's what we do for the team and I thought that that sacrifice was a big one. Tyler is sacrificing several hours, well not several hours but for watching the game plus the podcast sacrificing several hours of sleep. So first of all thank you for your service Tyler. >> Of course, as long as I can sit here and watch Trevor's story basically make history on a regular basis and the lineup continues to mash. I'm happy to sacrifice and shorten my lifespan in whatever ways I need to. >> Absolutely. We've all been there if you're listening to this podcast. First of all, if you've been listening to every episode thank you that means that you hung in through the tough times and you get to celebrate with us during the good times. We're not going to say it. There is one dumb stupid son of a bitch on the internet that did say it during the game and Matt Barnes proceeded to walk four straight batters after that. I'm not saying his name. I think you know who he is but he's a selfish piece of shit for tweeting it and he got absolutely roasted, absolutely roasted on the internet for saying it. >> I just want to say thank you Jared for being the one bold enough, strong enough to speak up on the internet. Not many people I think would have the courage in that spot to do it and you know you kind of jumped out immediately and I think you almost saw what was going to happen the minute it was said. >> Right. I think I honestly, I think my tweet telling this individual to quote, shut the fuck up was my most engaged with tweet of the night. So a lot of people feel very strongly about June 28th as you should. A lot of people have been trying to get me to say it. Won't say it. On baseball is dead earlier today. They tried to frame me. I said the red socks are back at Fenway this weekend to play a five game set against the Baltimore Orioles which we'll talk about in the stop and shop look ahead. I did not say I did not say it. I just said the red socks are back at Fenway this weekend to homestand a five game set which is weird. But before we can look ahead, we've got to talk about this fucking white sock series here. This is a series that the Yankees had just lost two games in one day to this team. You want to say the white socks don't have their shit together this year. They had just beaten the best team in baseball record wise. Twice in one day coming into this series. You know what the red socks did? They dropped 16 runs on their asses. Twice. Two times. In that middle game by the way. Red socks won that game too. How many fucking hits do they have? 10 and they walked seven times on top of it. Yeah. They had traffic all night long all night long. They just couldn't get the big hit. But we're not going to focus on the negative here. You have Kike Hernandez. One of the guys that we've kind of singled out is you need to get your shit together because when Kike goes that that's good for this red socks offense. You have Xander Bolgarts, Rafael Devers, JD Martinez and I think it's an it's an understatement to say that they've been good all year. They've been great all year. JD Martinez, another three hit game. He's sitting three eight. He flew out against fucking Harrison in the ninth. The only dude that could get him out was a position player. So his average might have dropped out against like what, 379? Just 380, Jared. Just 380. Okay. So he's sitting 380. After flying out against a position player in the ninth inning, but prior to that bat was sitting 383, which leads the majors by a comfortable margin. Rafael Devers hit the hardest hit ball the season in the series finale. Trevor's story hit another home run in this game. That is seven home runs in his last seven games in 22 RBI. 22 RBI in his last seven games. Correct me if I'm wrong. I could be wrong about this. I want to say he has more runs batted in the narrow judge. I believe you're 100% right about that. Yeah, I feel like that's. Yes, Trevor's story. Trevor's story after driving in 22 runs in his last seven games has more runs batted in the narrow judge in his third in the majors. What more do you need to know? Trevor's story is third in the majors in runs batted in with 37. You have Jose Ramirez with 43, Pete Alonzo, 41 and then Trevor's story with 37. Rafael Devers leads the majors in hits with 62. You know, I like this team. I like we were at. I like the vibes are high. Everything's positive right now. And again, if they won the first two when they lose the last one, then we're talking about something that maybe we're still still talking about a series win, but it's just for podcasting purposes is so important to win that last game. You come in. Everyone's feeling good. We're talking about the vibes being high. We're talking about. Let me pull up the list right now because if you don't know number one, this is fun. I'm having fun. Jake having an absolute blast. You're in a fucking awesome time. Tyler, you having fun going bonkers right now? Yeah. Number two, we like where the teams at. We can talk about the offense being great. I love where that's at. Walker wasn't great. Whatever. Maybe he was out there for a little bit too long. You can talk about the Maddie Barnes, whatever, but like it doesn't matter. The bullpen and I said this. I said this after the game. I'm throwing that Matt Barnes bullpen appearance out. It's different when you're in a tight game, when the game's on the line. The last couple of times, oh, I mean, Matt Barnes saved a game and you had a scoreless seven against Houston Astros. When Matt Barnes has been deployed in a game where you've actually needed him to be shut down, he's been shut down. You go out there and it's fucking you're up by 20 runs. It's just it's a different mindset. I think it's more mental with him than we've got to fix his mechanics or you know, it's something wrong with his fastball velocity. No, I just think he was in his head a little bit. So I like where the teams at. The three of the vibes are positive. Kevin Polake hit in a home run in the ninth inning. Could you have higher vibes with the inventor of the bowl of the home run cart getting a ride in the home run cart? Absolutely. Absolutely. It broke the MLB app just about every app that was following the game thought it was Trevor Story going deep once again. So I saw that. Kevin Polake mastering his Trevor Story impression. Yeah. I saw a former podcast that I was on tweeted out that Trevor Story at the home run as well. Yeah, that's an L watch the game. Watch the game. Number four, playing good ball Red Talks playing good ball right now playing sound baseball. It's not just about the offense. They're not winning these games 16 to 12. They're playing good ball. They're playing at the defense has been great. I'm going to throw this take out there because I don't think it's going to happen. I mean, there's going to be different guys in the mix along the way. But if Bobby Delbeck played a full season at first base, I think he wins a gold glove. Bold. I think he does. I think he's a lot better than people want to give him credit for considering what people saw last year. I still think sometimes you see he's thinking four things a little bit too much out there, but much better than people want to give him credit. He's above average defensively. Number five, feeling good. Alex for do go. I said this. You get for do go going. That lineup. It gets lengthy. He has key case hidden lead off bombs. Devers, BoGards, JD, you don't got to worry about them. Trevor stories, the hottest hitter on planet earth. How do you throw in for do go with a four hit game? And they're not just like little dinky do's like he's driving balls to the wall. He's stinging them. I think Red Sox stats had the had the tweet about all the exit velocity and all of his hits. He hit the shit out of the ball tonight. Four hits. A guy who take it. Yeah, a guy who's been one of the most unlucky hitters in all of baseball. I think it was like a 221, that bit. It was like the seventh lowest. He's like the seventh on luckiest in all of baseball. And if you look at the slugging and the expected slugging, he has the biggest gap of any hitter in all of baseball. So guess what? Some of those balls are hitting the damn wall now. We're not getting these warning track flyouts. Alex for do go. 290 career head are coming into this year.
Trust me that guy's still there. He's coming back. It's coming back And that's why spirits are high Because you got key K lead not both games with a lead off Homer. That's how you get the spirit high You get Verdugo contributing even Bob Bob had an RBI knock Christian a royal had an RBI knock speaking of Christians Christian Vazquez is in the fucking hunt for 300 right now Can I can I apologize for? You know, I think I was very critical of Christian Vazquez about probably a month ago roughly I think it was deserved at the time. Yeah, this is the best Christian Vazquez has looked I think since 2020 Oh seriously, he's shooting the ball. We're talking. He's almost hitting 280 like this Christian Vazquez This is a Christian Vazquez has been well below league average offensively for some time seeing him shoot the ball the other way again Wow, that goes a long way for this team. It's just here does you go down the order who's an easy out Hmm the closest thing you have is Bob and he's only out there against lefties right now Yeah, he's still working through it. We understand but franchise out there, you know against righties most of the time Nobody's making life easy for you. Yeah, like that kind of stuff and we're going to a series against a lot of pictures a lot of pitching staffs that You know, they're gonna get hit around Whether you want to say what you want to about the Mariners. They have a good, you know, young pitching staff You faced a Robbie Ray you faced a Logan Gilbert a young George Kirby like great arms you go to this series You know Dylan sees led the M. O. B. and strikeouts going into that start. Yeah, didn't have a problem with him. Sai young dark horse There you are in Lucas G. Lito good at bats. You looked good out there. You just didn't cash in on that big swing Yeah, there was traffic. There was a lot of traffic against G. Lito and and the white socks relievers. They got a great bullpen too I think with Bob I think what happens is when you're a younger guy You're not established in the league and you're struggling that In today's game There especially after last year the second half where he was so good So everyone has seen the potential and they know what he's capable of that when When people have seen it and they know that it exists and they know that it's in there and you're struggling They want to bring it back out and that's when you get A bunch of different coaches are in your ear and you got the analytics guys. Let me show you this video If you do this with your swing and look at this and look at that and do this but think of this I mean that fucks with you So I'm hoping that Bob kind of just goes back to his roots and sticks with what got him to the big leagues in the first place Whatever that approach maybe I haven't I haven't talked to him about like what does that mean Like what does it mean for you to just do what got you there? What does that mean? I'd love to ask him about that Maybe maybe when he gets hot we can get him on the podcast. We can talk to him about it But encouraging that he uh that he had that RBI nox same thing with Christian Royo I know that it's it's been difficult for him to because all offseason I'm sure Christian Royo was sitting there being like fuck man like I'm gonna be the starting second baseman for the boss and red socks And then march rolls around it's like oh shit. They sign Trevor story and now you go from starting second baseman of the boss and red socks to I don't know when I'm gonna get in that bat And I know that Korra is a very good manager in terms of communication in terms of like hey be ready in this situation if this situation comes up Or hey, you're gonna start tomorrow like he's good about that where John Farrell was not And we've talked to different guys like I think uh In 2019 we had uh Eduardo Nunez on the podcast And I asked him because I was like you played for John Farrell the boss and red socks you played for Alex Korra with the boss and red socks What was the biggest difference and I asked that question to a lot of guys that played for both And they also the same thing communication So At least from that perspective, it's not an absolute nightmare, but at the same time You know your Christian Royo and you you think you have the starting job and next thing you know I don't know what my next day b's coming. I don't know when I'm gonna be getting in there I don't know if I'm gonna be asked to play fucking right field today when I've never played outfield professionally my entire life Um, but anyway spirits are high number seven. We like this team We like this team. I mean this is this is a team that is built to win Prior to contrary belief prior to what you saw in the month of April. Oh, we like this team You mean the people who wanted to come out and tell you the red socks were dead in the last week You've seen the columns John Tomassi declared the season dead one chrysal went down Jason Maastronado who wanted to go and say these things Mark Bertrand beetle who called the team dead last week It goes down this mat McCarthy claiming for hind bloom to be fired last week. He did say that word for word Yeah, there's a lot of cloutery going on. It's people who want to go and hit that panic button again and again and again And listen, we're not gonna say it No, nobody here is gonna say it, but do we know it? We know we all know it at this point. It's clear. We've known it for some time Yeah, we've known it for a little while now, but we're not backpedaling now because guess what? We didn't back out. We never backed out. We never backed out Jake were you aware of it? I knew it. I mean, obviously it wasn't gonna say it, but We've all been pretty aware of it Yeah, I think it's been hovering in the room for a little bit now And it's something that we'd love to be able to address Maybe maybe we will address it at some point, but I think that that day is gonna be June 28th I've already seen people in my mentions saying that that they took the day off of work I've seen people say I've already taken June 28th off from work so that I can say it and just have the whole day to be able to say it um I mean, I support that 100% if if that's a day that you don't feel comfortable going into the office Or maybe you work from home and you're just like, you know what? I Not really trying to work from home today Take the day, dude. I mean you've got a month to figure it out um Yeah, a lot of people a lot of people in the mentions tonight We're trying to say it or that they just we're thinking of ways to avoid saying it So when we complete the list, I'd love to be able to kind of brainstorm different different ways that we could maybe help these people out that want to say it But obviously shouldn't say it so what else can they do and in place that uh number eight in a c we trust I mean shit The dude shaved his beard on May 10th the red socks are 11 and four Since he shaved his beard He never wavered This was a man that when things looked horrible in the month of April He was never he never looked discouraged. He never said the season was over I mean not that any manager wouldn't that position, but Alex never and that's why he's a great manager too is because I'm sure that there are some guys teammates managers coaches that you can say one thing like hey guys we still got this But if you don't believe it Doesn't matter what you say your body language says everything and the players believe it too and then people start to shut it down I don't think Alex Kora ever gave that energy for one second No, and I think the best part about Alex Kora is even after a night like tonight like you see him post game It's the same reaction either way. It's yeah. He's told you since you know opening day these guys are gonna hit I know they're gonna get hit and we saw it last year in the final two months of the season when Whether it was covid struggles everything falling apart on them People were just like why is he the same guy what where is the fiery? Where is the snapping no Alex Kora is that steady force. He is that steady hand no matter how much the boat rocks He ain't falling off. He's gonna stay there and there's guys who go out there like you said jared and will say the right stuff But you can see it on their face. You can see it in the body language J. Stingler was one of those guys last year who you know often said just about the right thing But you could read it the guys didn't feel it there wasn't that calming effect This Red Sox team this veteran group They've bought into Alex Kora. They never lost faith in who they were They just hey back to work spending hours Kora saying this team has worked harder on hitting than any team he's ever been a part of Think about that that 2018 team the talent on that team 2021 everything to prove all that This is the Red Sox team he's seen work the hardest mm-hmm Yeah, I remember I forget what month it was but it was in 2019 and I never would miss like a weekend series ever and I think Dallas and I went to Baltimore just to interview John Means and Tray Mancini and They put it on the table like hey you can get means you can get Mancini I think they were playing the Astros and I was like well, I don't want to miss a weekend series That's a fun way, but I mean like it kind of stuck right now. So all right. Let's take the interviews because I wanted to talk to means I wanted to talk to Mancini and then I I posted The picture that we were in Baltimore on my Instagram story and I remember one of the players and the team like responded to it and he was like damn it's that bad, huh Like that you didn't come like you're in Baltimore instead of here So I think guys guys know When it's bad like guys know when it's curtains and from being around them I've been in every weekend series. I mean there haven't been many home stands For weekends really just yet. I think maybe three Um, but being around them when things were bad they were kind of like
Yeah, like, you know, we'll figure it out. Like, that there was never that like, man, so we suck, huh? Like that, they'll say those things when it is that, but in the month of April, there was none of that. And I tried to tell Mazda, and we were doing the baseball hour together. And I was like, yeah, like that, you know, like they're gonna hit. He's like, well, when are they gonna hit? They're gonna hit. Like, don't worry about it. And it blows my mind. Like some of this stuff thinking like, Kike or Nanda's, Alex for DoGo, like we're never, Trevor's story. The guy who MVP votes, you know, been one of the better players in baseball, you know, for four or five years, few years now, just thinking these guys were never gonna show up. That, oh, because you had a Bobby Delbeck in your lineup, or, you know, a Christian Vazquez or a JBJ. Teams have holes like this expectation that the team has to be completely sound, one through nine, every team has a great hitter. Yankees get almost nothing out of catcher. Isaiah, kind of, Falefa, not giving you much offensively over there. You know, teams Aaron Hicks, God help you. Like, you have holes. This team is built still offensively. We know the talent of this team. The team has known how great they are in that sense. It just, it took time to find it. You didn't have Tim Hires this year. There were adjustments in that hitting room. We could see that. Credit to Pete Fati, who's gone out there despite criticism and got these guys back on track. Mm-hmm. And Alex Kor will tell you, hey, what do we view this year? It's a marathon. That message has gone again and again. And it's May 27th. This team is hit rock bottom. Two games from 500 right now. Mm. Look at what's the run differential at. I feel like 216. Wait till you see this. I can't hurt. Oh, wait till you see this. So the red socks right now, I think it's, I don't wanna speak stupidly here, but I think it is top four or top five in the American League right now. The red socks have the second best run differential in the American League East. And they have the fifth best in the American League. Yankees, Astros, Angels, twins, red socks. Hm. But right now, based on run differential, it is the Yankees and then the Boston Red socks. I don't know if people would probably listen right now being like, well, you know, like they fucking are installing fourth place. And yeah, I get it. I get where they're at in terms of the standings. But run differential is a great tool to forecast where you're gonna end up. And right now you get the Toronto Blue Jays at negative four. You get the raise at plus 12. This is 162 game season. And they've played 44 games. So you keep playing it out. They keep playing good ball. And we like where they're at. Then who's to say that they can't jump back into this thing? 'Cause they will. Which brings me to number nine. Staying humble. That's why we're not gonna like talk about, yeah, we're coming for the division. We're not, no, we're not talking about that right now. It's May 27th. I will give full credit. Staying humble. That was the motto of Christian Royal. Who every time the nesting cameras are on Christian Royal, you can catch a moment of him being a great teammate. A guy that I'm sure, former first rounder. A guy that I'm sure was down about, man, like I would have had a starting job, but I get it, like I wanna win. They sign Trevor's story. Trevor's story is really fucking good. So I'm happy that we have Trevor's story. But instead of pouting, he's instead just been a fucking outstanding teammate. He wants to win very badly. And every single time that he has an opportunity to perform, he's out there bustin' his ass. You love guys like that. Which is number nine. Staying humble. And it's spreading throughout the clubhouse. These guys know that they're playing good ball right now. Are they getting too high on it? No. Just like they didn't get too low on April. They're not getting too high on this recent run that they've been on. Which brings us to the number 10. June 28. June 28. We're not gonna say it. They're not saying it. Alex is not saying it. I know that you listening. I know you wanna say it, but you haven't said it. Thank you. Thank you for not saying it. We haven't said it either right here on this podcast. But June 28 is the day that we're gonna get to say it. And what a glorious day that's gonna be. At this point, I'm looking forward more to that date than Christmas. More than my birthday. I'm gonna get more Christmas. Yeah. What do other holidays exist? No. Not to me. Not to anyone. No. They shouldn't at this point. That's the day. That is the day. I do want to give some credit to the Twitter accounts that have risen as well. Important that date as well. It's nice to see other followers of this practice taking it seriously, putting it first. Even I think it's bigger than any one of us. It is. It's a day to observe. Thank you. Thank you. Sorry. I got choked up there. It is emotional. It is emotional to think about it. I mean, I think the clock's catch up MVP is gonna be an interesting discussion. When you score fucking, how many runs do they score? 16, 32, 35 runs. 33. Oh, yeah. Why do I think they scored three? You counted the three the white socks got. I did. I did. I was like, ah, it was a win. So it should have been. Let's be real. It should have been a win. And by the way, speaking of should have been. Can we talk about the. Nesson broadcast is casually dropping that Trevor stories 400 something foot foul ball would have been a home run in 29 other ball parks. First of all, how is that possible? Like a foul ball is just a foul ball. Like I don't know how like the dimensions shake out to where like the G spot is somehow like more foul than other ball parks, but they said that and they obviously weren't joking that Trevor story hit a foul ball. This was after he had already home or once that would have been a home run in 29 other ball parks. How is that possible? I don't know, but when it did happen off the bat, I thought certainly it was gone. I was confident. I basically already had Twitter up. I was ready to start clowning on people again. I don't if that's the case, I just don't know how we don't count it. It should be a home run. Yeah, that's 1000% of home run should have been number 10. I think the person that updates these statistics, they're not updated yet. All right, we're going to have to keep, we're going to have to push Clark Clark's catch up. I mean, it's obviously it's JD. I think I think Clark's catch up MVP has to be Julio Daniel because I'm looking at it right now. This is only for the first two games of the series, but the first two games he hits 750 with a 1693 OPS and then he got three more hits tonight. So it's not even fair. I don't know if you would say this Jared, but for Alice Corda, go and say this is the best version of JD Martinez he's ever seen after what we saw in 2018. Just even April last year in some of these different stretches, what the hell? Yeah. Are you guys on another planet? Did you see my tweet about asking him if he was locked in? No, I did not. So last Friday, I was at Fenway and I went up to JD and this was that Thursday. He had a four hit game. So I was like, are you locked in right now? And he was like nah. And then he walked into the clubhouse and since he said no to not being locked in, he went 12 for 20. And at the time, like I tweeted that he was 12 for 19. And that's when he was, he went from hitting 340. When he said no, I'm not locked in. He was hitting 344 with a 965 OPS. And when I tweeted this, he was hitting 383 with a 1036 OPS. Thank you. Thank you. It's just, I think it's even cooler too. Like we've seen JD in a lot of when these hot stretches have come, it's been power streaks. Where he's clubbing a couple, he has that multi-homerun game. Dude, he's just hitting the ball everywhere. Like he is. Right field, left field, center field, it just doesn't matter. He hits the ball hard, obviously, but he's even getting some like babip luck there where like I think it was his third hit tonight. It was just like he like flicked it into right field and just like plop down. It's like if he puts the bat on the ball and even I think his first hit. That like ground ball to third base. I mean, it was a hard hit ball. I think maybe like some of the best third baseman maybe make that play. Rafael Devers makes that play. Yeah. Rafael Devers, maybe Machado, Nolan Arnato, Matt Chatton, guys like that. They probably make that play. But who the fuck was playing third base with White Sox tonight? It was Jake Berger. Yeah.
Yeah, he didn't make the play and it goes down as a hit because it was hit so hard. You can't assume that play. I think the best of the best, the platinum gluvers make that play. But JD, I would have to agree that this is the best that he's been with the Red Sox when he went to the Diamondbacks, the craziest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, I feel like I talked to him about that recently. This year, where I was like, I think I asked him, when's the most locked in that you've ever been? He was like, when I went to the Dbacks, he had an 1107 OPS in 62 games for the Diamondbacks. He's like, everything that I hit was a home run. He hit, he was there for 62 games and hit 29 home runs. He hit 29 home runs, 13 doubles and drove in 65 runs in those 62 games for Arizona. And then he became a free agent and then he became a boss in Red Sox player because I don't like to say Red Sox. I hate that. And just for reference, in that 2017 season, that 170 OPS Plus, he entered tonight with the 188 OPS Plus. So that's only going up. You could make the case. I mean, the homeers are crazy. Like 29 home runs and fucking 62 games, that's insane. We had the four home or game. It during that trust stadium. Yep. Yep. And, I mean, I'm just looking at my Twitter mentions right now. It's just, they're all the same. Some of the last tweet I got, not saying a fucking thing. Yep. You learned. People, people don't want to say. Next year, JD Martinez led the league in doubles. People don't talk about that. He's also leading the league in doubles again this year. I mean, he only has five home runs for a dude that's like absolutely locked in like this. He's still slugging like 600. It's just, that's what makes it even more impressive. It's a true hitting clinic. It's just shooting the ball the other way. It's consistently getting the bat on the ball and like, it's old school. And that's one of the cooler parts. And I know some people always claim they want to see that. They want to see these guys just, you know, see what you can do with average. If you win about it that way, you're seeing a guy who, who loves his mechanics, who is it focused on that stuff as anybody. It's almost like the, the master's just, it's all come together like all these years. Somehow he's reached a new pinnacle despite being, you know, later in his career. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, JD Martinez leads Major League Baseball with a 380 average and is hitting 443 in the month of May. Alex Cora thinks it's the best he has ever seen the slugger. Quote, "I've never seen him this way. This is the best I've seen him in four years." Bob. And Lone, but I'm not even taking a vote. Clark's catch a BNBP for this series against the Chicago White Sox. Julio Daniel Martinez. I think what I'm going to do. I'm going to do is before the game tomorrow, I'm going to get a bottle of ketchup and I'm going to give it to him tomorrow. And he might be, he might not be convicted. Like, he might know exactly what it means. Yes. I think you just need to do it for the people. Yeah. I think giving him not only that respect, but just letting him know we love you, we see you. And thank you. You saved us. You are Santa of June 28th. Bring us on. Bring us on. Jake, remind me tomorrow at 1 p.m. Get a bottle of ketchup to give to JD. I mean, we have so much Clark's ketchup sitting around anyway. It's like, as well, give him one. That's true. I mean, I got boxes of that shit, but I mean, they just came in, I don't know, two weeks ago, because I'm always drizzling that ketchup on my french fries I get whenever I have like burgers here, parks ketchup. Is this is this going to be a thing we just start delivering ketchup for whenever we do hand this out? Will that be kind of our trophy? Yeah. Sure. So if anyone listening to this knows how to make like stickers or like graphics that are on stickers, like let me know so we can make a Clark's ketchup label that we can slap on a ball of ketchup that we can give to the players. I mean, again, we already have them, but these are like backup ones. Right. Yeah. Yeah. If you guys like, these are, these are just like the fake ones. Like I don't, I'm not trying to give away my Clark's ketchup. We can give him a fake one because I mean, they're probably just going to put it in their locker. Like my bottles are for drizzling these are for displaying. We don't want to waste it. No. No. So that's where we're at. Jayne Martinez Clark's ketchup series MVP. Congratulations to him. If you're listening to this podcast on what is a Friday? Friday? Technically. You are one month and one day away from being able to say it. It's right around the corner. You just got to hold on.

You're probably feeling like you want to say it. I'm not going to no one here is going to you're not going to so how do we how do we kind of like guide people that are like, hey Tyler, I really want to say it right now. What kind of alternative would you give someone to not say it? What could you say they can do instead of saying it? We know. That's it. We know. We know we've known for some time. But we know right. I don't think you have to get to I don't think you have to get too fancy. I don't think you have to get too crazy. I think it's a point. We come up with like a hand signal where it's almost like like if someone gives like a hand signal, it's like, I'm just letting you know that I know. And I know that you know that we all know here, but we're not saying it. Hmm. I mean, like, it would be so much easier if it was June 25th, because then we could just. But yeah, that's a big number. Yeah. Oh, maybe, maybe. Oh, oh, oh. I'm like that. That's it. There's a two and then there's an eight. That might be dangerous to do in certain locations. You think people will get shot doing that potentially. I'm feeling like if there's like a, like the section 10 hand signal was just so easy. You just. Yeah. This is great, but you can't. There's no two eight. You can't do an eight. Hmm. I don't know. Maybe we just got to get a little closer before we start getting to the hand signal point. Yeah, we got to think on that. We got to think on that. I think the phrases are good though. I feel like I've seen a lot of them on Twitter. I feel like people are getting more comfortable with them. It's almost like we've created our own language. For sure. I mean, people are talking code now. I've got a lot of tweets saying like with a team that it does discuss me that there are some some nonbelievers, some just straight out disrespectful people that are almost turning our language, our phrases are our holiday into a joke. Some of our Yankee fans, some of them are just red socks haters.
Yeah, there are red socks haters out there and I you know what every time I see a Yankee fan Say don't say it That's fear that's what that is their trouble. That's I don't say it Yeah, that's fear because they know what's coming and like I've been saying all along The red sock weren't gonna be this bad all year the Yankees weren't gonna be that good all year and when Things start to kind of close the gap here now you have it's not so fun anymore when the rabbit gets the gun right Brakes aren't gonna go your way brakes aren't gonna go your way and I don't wish injury on anybody never do but no look at the Yankees They're I don't care. I don't care. I don't care the role is time to fuck them That's actually a very good point fuck him But you know other guys stand in now going down you don't have Chad Green having Tommy John surgery Johnny lasagna Missing time like mm-hmm everyone they had no problem laughing at the red socks when the sale stuff popped up and the packs and stuff And we heard about those you know timelines getting pushed back mm-hmm all right. Hey the brakes will go Water it's gonna find its level that is and it's finding its level because hey as much as you want to clown on this roster whatever it was Look at our middle and field it's pretty nice looks pretty damn good. It's pretty sharp We don't have Isaiah kind of fill up in our middle and field. Yeah, we don't need him God we prefer our shorts to be able to hit Please yeah, we're off Rafael Devers third base. Mm-hmm. Come on Take notice Yeah, Tristan Cassis couple months Jake if if someone came up to you on the street this weekend and said Hey, man, I Really want to say it What do you suggest what do you suggest I do to kind of like distract myself? I mean me personally tonight when when we went up 14 to 5. I just I Just did an ice bath for myself. Okay. I just took all the ice from my freezer. I poured it in the bath Mm-hmm. My roommates were like where'd all the ice go? I was like, don't worry about it. I need it right now Um, and it just took my mind off things because I just it felt like I had to say it so but it's like a sneeze like when you're trying to See right like that feels like yeah, the coldness of the ice just really like stopped me from Needing to say it or helps a lot. Is this a naked thing or do you get in with your clothes on? No, it's naked. It's a regular bath. It's just with ice Yeah, making sure I don't want to mess up any of the instructions here in case I need to follow suit right Yeah, I mean, I'm honestly if I don't want to get too far ahead of myself here, but the red socks are playing the last place team for the next five straight games If we get to a point where I Feel like I got a sneeze I'm getting in that fucking tub dude. I'm getting in that tub and I Got a pretty have you seen my top Jake? I don't think so. I got to show you this tub is a nice tub and When we record here on Sundays If if we're doing a podcast and the vibes are high and people really like this team by all means if anyone needs to run upstairs and jump in that tub I'll I'll get bags ice like we'll do this I'm here for you. I'm here. I'm here as a support group. It's basically a support group like we're all out here trying to not say and The fact that we have a month to go a month It's crazy people are asking for June 28th t-shirts sure why not fuck it? We don't have a name for the show. We might as well make merch a different way Do we have merch coming Jake? I think June 28 shirts are on the way Okay So hey, we don't even need the handsome like the hand symbols aren't even important. We have the shirts Do you think and this might just be a wild fantasy that I have? What do you think the odds are that we get players to wear the June 28 shirts? I Mean Kyle were a wall damn high t-shirt, so I Kyle or I mean I I Think I talked to Like some of the guys about wearing the 17 10 shirts last year and I think Hime specifically was like I love I love the rally cry But like we haven't won anything yet and like we're not trying to like celebrate one good month, and I was like Hime You're fucking idiot. I said if the red socks started this season 17 and 10 then that means that we're gonna make the playoffs Okay, and now they don't teach you that shit at Yale But I said what I said and I think this time around It's it's not about what the shirt says. It's what the shirt means. It's what it means You can wear a June 28 shirt and what is what does it mean? Well on that day will all say it and That's what it means and people should know it on that day, but they shouldn't know it yet They shouldn't know yet. That would be too. That would be premature But yeah, the 17 and 10 shirts were great people people people love the 17 and 10 shirts 17 and 10 was a rally cry for last year and June 28th People talking about it a lot right now, so We're gonna just keep it rolling. I think it'd be humble to see those guys wear it. Mm-hmm They would stay humble on the back of the shirt. Wow. Yeah, whoa. Mm-hmm Yeah, yeah I don't see an excuse. Yeah, you put stay humble on the back of the shirt You put June 28th in the front of the shirt I'm just saying I'd wear that yeah, I don't know Jake do you Right now it's June 28th on the front of the shirt and don't say it on the back of the shirt Oh, we actually we actually are designing these shirts. We have a design. Yeah How the fuck have I not seen these shirts? That's on me Do you have like do you have like a picture on your phone or something? Yeah, I'll text it right now. Oh, yeah Let me see those I want to see the shirt. I honestly got I didn't know those that was a real thing. I thought Thought we were just brainstorming right now. It apparently Apparently this like in the printing press is just firing them off Jake's a man of the people he was saving it for them as well Let me and Jake was trying to keep it secret. I mean I the fact that the fact that I didn't know is How top secret it was Good work Jake Yeah, I mean you obviously don't tell me those things because then I'll tell everyone if we were trying to keep it under wraps I'm probably the last person that you should tell. I'll just blur that shit out be like hey, by the way. We got June 28th shirt. Go But I mean the second the second that these shirts are available I Want one obviously and we'll see We'll see if we can get it into the hands of of the players I mean there's some guys that I think they will wear it like The main guys the positive vibes only guys. I could see poleck you wearing it. I could see a royal wear in it. I could see Bob wear in it Uh, I don't know Julio Julio is like He's he's in but he's kind of like too cool for school at the same time where he's like just just let me fucking just let me Sock doubles in the gap. All right, like keep your t-shirt and that's fine because if you keep sockin doubles I don't give a fuck what you wear dude But you know, we don't want to mess with where he is right now. No, Kike Um Maybe I don't know. I can't picture like Trevor's story. He seems wow this shirt is fucking great Oh What a shirt oh wow what a shirt This is the design that's a great design That's a great shirt Jake We got we got great designers at draft games That's good to know That's good to know because then I'm just gonna flood them with all my fucking ideas Be like hey, what do you think about a jumbo-dong t-shirt guys Well, but hear me out. It's a fucking It's a t-shirt of Raphael Devers, but he's eating an ice cream What do you think? Oh wow Yeah, these are something, huh I need to see these a fun way right now Yeah, I mean like when you when you come up with uh, like an idea for draft kings They're like All right, here's 20 options like which one do you like and it's like this is outstanding I love having options. I mean, I love that first design that you sent me Jake I got to win. I could see that on a fucking poster Corey our graphics guys is the one who designed it so I gotta shout him out too. Thank you, Corey So what are we doing? We're just we're getting the like Corey Corey
It does like the graphics for the podcast where when we tweet out the link to the show. By the way, when is the, when is it, when are we doing the switch to the streaming thing? Probably in about two weeks. Two weeks. Alright, so in two weeks we'll finally have fucking the ability to post videos from the show. If you haven't noticed, if you were a fan of Section 10, that show we used to tweet like the, like probably, I don't know, two to three one minute clips from every show that we put out. We haven't done any of that this year for this podcast or baseball is dead because Zoom is like the shittiest video quality when you try and like post the videos, but we're switching to a different service that will allow us to post high quality videos from the podcast. This is, I don't know, we're just like, we're trying to retain the audience that we had before and we're trying to grow the audience to people that maybe just discovered us on Twitter this year. The Red Sox keep it rolling. There'll be a lot of enthusiasm around this team after the Celtics win the fucking NBA title, Jake. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah, dude. Fuck yeah. I'm gonna, you know what? I'm gonna, I'm gonna drink so much on Friday because the Celtics, you don't think I'm gonna drink Jake? No, I've seen it. I believe it. I drank last weekend, right? Yeah. Yeah, you're drinking all over the place. Yeah, it's fucking drinking. I was drinking Sony alcohol. It's last weekend. Do you not remember where you asking Jake or you looking for confirmation there? Yeah, I mean, I don't remember because of how fucking drunk I was, dude. No, that's very cool. Yeah. Oh, you know, it also is cool getting good prices on tickets. Really? Yep. And that's, you have to go to Seaky for that. You about to talk about my butt Jared? Yeah, I'm gonna talk about that butt right now. Did you know that your butt has a favorite app Tyler? No one told me this. Yeah, it's called Seaky. If the red socks weren't home, see this is what sucks. Is the red socks are home. The Celtics are gonna clinch tomorrow night and they're tonight. If you're listening to San Frade, and they're gonna go to the finals, I'm like, I kind of want to be there for that. But I mean, if I'm gonna splurge on Celtics, play off tickets, it might as well be for finals, you know? So maybe I'll fucking wait. I'll wait till the finals. So if I do go to the finals, I'll you Seaky for that. Because if you've noticed in prior shows, there's a promo code, which is very helpful to not have to pay the full price, get a little chunk off.

Get your seat in a seat and download the app today. I'm going to throw a little bit of a teaser out here, Jake. I'm not going to say too much, but I'm going to throw a little bit of like I'm going to sprinkle a little something out there for the people because this I've been teasing this project that I've been working on. I get a little project. It's got to do with the red socks. And it's it's content. And I'm not going to like once we once we get something like definitively like bam like this is in the can like here it comes, then I'll be able to talk more about it. But we're getting kind to the finish line of this secret special project that I've been working on. That I think a lot of people that listen to this podcast are going to quite enjoy. Jake, do you think the people are going to like it? I think especially with where the teams at right now that it's a good time to to announce it or to drop it. Yeah. Now is a good time because the vibes are high and you know, the thing is I like this team. I like this team a lot. So maybe they'll be involved in the project. I don't know. Sounds like they might be. Sounds like they might be involved. So I guess I guess when it's officially official, I'll be able to announce it and talk more about it. But as of right now, all I can say is that I have a super secret special project that relates to the Boston Red Sox that is coming soon. I wanted to when I went to draft kings, I wanted to make a video announcing everything where it was like, Hey, everyone. By the way, I'm going to draft kings doing a red socks podcast there. I'm doing a baseball podcast there. We're doing the streams on Tuesday nights. See you later and then walk off the camera. They come back. Oh, and I'm going to M will be network and then walk off the camera and be like, and I'm going to sports up and then walk off the camera. Come back to me. Oh, by the way, and then I was going to announce this thing. Like, that's how long we've been talking about this. And you hold this in the same kind of gravity as those other things. I do. Yes. I think when people find out about it, they're going to be like, Oh, damn. Okay. All right. We see you. It's kind of like a, it's almost like a monopoly on, I guess, places to work with. If you're if you're a Boston Red Sox slash MLB content creator, I think I hit bingo, right, Jay? Where else can I go? Yeah. Can you say if it'll be washable or lessenable? It'll be watchable. Will this be on the YouTube channel? Or is that too much? I don't know. So I don't think it'll be you'll be able to watch it. I don't know for sure if it'll be on YouTube right away. Maybe. But you will be able to watch it. And it is not a podcast. Yeah. So, but it is in that same tier of like, Hey, draft Kings MLB network sports up. And then this. So I'm excited about it. Is this an idea you had when you were still at the other place that you were waiting on or is it something you've come up with? So I think I think when I was kind of like weighing my options, this was something that so I didn't hire my agent until last October. And when I hired him, I said, well, he was like, what do you want to do? And I was like, this is what I want to do. I want to do stuff with MLB network. I want to do stuff with sports up and not have to hide it. Like when I went to Razon with Maz last year, I had to essentially hide it. Like Tony would tweet out like, Hey, we got Jack Robison tonight at 620. And then I couldn't even like retweet it because I was like, I was like, Dave sees this. So I'm going to, he's going to tell me I can't do it anymore. So I was like, I want to get in the door with MLB network. I want to be able to do sports hub and not have to hide it. And I want to do this. So what this is, I didn't quite have the full grasp on what it is. It was more of like a loose concept that we've been work shopping for like a couple of months now. And it's at a place now where I'm like, that's exactly what I wanted to do. Yeah. So I'm excited. I think I think a lot of people that listen to this podcast are going to really enjoy it. I'm excited. So stay tuned. Yeah. I mean, I can't say it. But when I can, which will be, I will be able to say it before June 28. I'll be able to say this before something to hold the people over. Yeah. A little appetizer. Sure. Yeah. I think it's, you know, we're all waiting on June 28th. But this super secret special project, you'll get it before June 20. It's a good tease. Yeah. Yeah. Things are coming together. It's 136 AM. Tyler has to wake up in two and a half hours less than that. So let's get into the stop and shop. Look ahead, shall we? All right. We've been recording for about an hour and a half. Yeah. All right. So listening, maybe you want it a little bit longer of a podcast, but like Tyler's going to go to bed, man. Like the fact that Tyler's even here right now is it makes me feel bad. Like I, I, I, I, hey, trust me. No one appreciates or respects that grind. More than me and Jake here.
I'm flattered that he's dedicated. That's not a shot at Pat who's just a drunk asshole that didn't show up tonight. Yeah, he has things to do. Hey, Pat has things to do. The harsh words he threw in there during his drunk fit tonight actually pushed me to stay up and be with you guys because I was worried about you guys emotionally. Let's stop it. Stop looking ahead. It's a five game series. So it's kind of weird in terms of knowing who the starters are going to be. The Orioles as of right now have only named three starters. I don't think that they've named a starter for either of the two games on Saturday. I don't know who's on the call. Again, I've been consistent with this. I have not watched an Apple TV broadcast. I haven't. As a guy that watches a billion baseball games a year, I have not watched an Apple TV broadcast. The only one that I caught was when I was at the game and it was on Apple TV. When we were inside, still finishing up dinner, we saw the first inning on Apple TV and I couldn't really hear the broadcast. And just a heads up. The Friday night game is on Apple TV and that will feature Garrett Whitlock versus Kyle. Is it Bradish or Brady? Second one. I forget what it's order. I said it in Brady. Brady. Kyle Brady. Nathan Evaldy. Presumably in the 12 o'clock start on Saturday. Then you have Josh Winkowski who got called up for the 710 start on Saturday. Then you have Nick Povetta versus Jordan Liles on Sunday. That's a 135 start. And then you have Rich Hill versus Bruce Zimmerman. That will be on Monday at 710. The Red Sox. And we're not going to talk a lot about that. They're one and two against the Orioles this year and they've been out scored 12 to 9. That doesn't matter. It's a different team. It hasn't started yet. Yeah, it hasn't started yet. Kyle Bradyish is one and three with a 547 ERA. I should just stop myself there. I won't. He made his first career start against the Red Sox on April 29th. Six innings, five hits, three runs, two earned, two strikeouts and a homer. He loves throwing his fastball but the thing about his fastball is that it fucking sucks. Batters have a 327 batting average and a 585 slug against it and he throws it 52% of the time with a 15% whiff rate. Loves his fastball sucks. It sucks. His slider much better, 43% whiff rate, 161 batting average against 355 slug. The Orioles are two and three when he takes them out. A royal was the homerun that he gave up for those wandering. Jordan Liles, a 410 ERA with a 135 whip. He his last two starts have come against the Yankees, 13 and 2/3 innings, 10 hits, seven runs, five earned, 16 strikeouts. He led all of MLB last year and homerun is allowed but it's only allowed seven this year. The Orioles are four and five in his starts. Trevor Story has a homerun off of him JD, four for eight. Bruce Zimmerman, pretty good. Two and two, three, seven, eight, one, 22 whip, strikeouts for 9/7. 4. He's a career 4.69 guy though. So with a career 5.07, fine. He's having a breakout year. We'll take it. We'll take the Bruce Zimmerman breakout season. His first seven starts, he had not allowed more than three runs in a game but has allowed four and five in his last two. He's allowed eight home runs this year, four of which came in his last start and seven have come from his last three starts. So he's a little susceptible to the home run ball in which the Red Sox have been a little susceptible themselves at the plate. So he's a lefty. He doesn't walk a ton of guys. Sliders is best pitch but he only throws it 19% of the time which makes a ton of sense. The Orioles actually have a winning record when he takes them out. They are five and four. Red Sox not a ton of success as a team. Bo Garz one for nine, Bob, four eight, Redouga, four eight. As a team they're hit in 203 against them. So that one should be interesting. But again, it's kind of hard to, it's kind of hard to, you're kind of going on feel here when you are missing two starters from the Orioles in this series but I'm assuming if they haven't named a starter they probably suck. Is that a fair assessment? The Orioles suck. The Orioles are not good. I will say if there is one thing that you should be excited to see with Baltimore slash nervous, Adley Rushman. Yes. He's someone who's going to cause us pain at some point. We just understand that's the reality of the situation. Unfortunately, they just don't have a ton of guys. There are others on the team that cause pain but he will be the face of that pain. Yeah. Adley Rushman, I think I saw a stat today that obviously I mean he just got called up. So it's not among qualified hitters because he's clearly not qualified. But if he were, I think he would lead the majors in pitches seen per plate appearance. Wow. Yeah. Maturity. He's got, I don't know how many plate appearances. Yeah, so far. But it can't be very many. But for whatever sample size it is at the bigly level, he sees pitches. He's going to make you work. And he's, he's the next big thing in Baltimore. I'm excited to see him. I'm excited. I'm excited to see Tramiancini. Fucking love that guy. It's bombs. He does it bombs. Great guy. Hopefully get to catch up with him tomorrow. I don't know. Maybe, maybe we'll fall out. No, we can't because it's a double header on Saturday. It's going to say maybe we'll grab an interview on Saturday, but no, it's a fucking new and start. So scratch that. But we'll be rolling out some interviews. I mean, I don't, the thing is as much as I want to be doing the interviews, it's a waste to have them without being able to put out videos. So in two weeks, when we have the ability to do that, then I'll start nudging guys being like, Hey, man, you want to come on the fucking name or tactic podcast? America's most well up podcast. The most down the red tax podcast in the internet. And they'll be like, fuck it, dude. I don't know who sounds like that on the team, but like that's, that's the excitement coming through. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. All right, Tyler has to go to bed. It's 145 in the morning. We have a four, we have a 4 AM alarm that's about to go off predictions. Jake, I'm going to start with you. I got your classic red socks, five games we've seen it a bunch. We've seen it a lot. Stick with history. We've seen it a lot. Tyler, what do we got for predictions this week? I'll be a bit more humble. I'm going to go four out of five. I think you got gear, wit, lock, and native, all the kind of start in this series off. It's a great place to be. This offensive explosion we just saw against the white socks against a pitching staff that is talented and credit to Baltimore. Their bullpen is definitely made strides. I think the red socks offense is just on a different level right now. We're going to get a Joshua and Kawiski start in there. I'm extremely excited for that to curb some of the Andrew Ben and Tendi crying, no disrespect to Andrew Ben and Tendi, but that's the one thing that seems to pop up on Twitter the most. Right above a three R a over his first seven starts of the year. I think he's going to impress some people. I'll go four out of five. Okay, fair. Objectively speaking, I got a five game suite. Wow. Yeah. I got a five game suite. I think, you know, what's going to happen? Here's an even more in depth prediction. I got a five game suite, but there's going to be one game. We saw this last homestand. It was the it was a serious finale. Hansel Robles blew it in the 9th. We're going to have a game against the Orioles where the red socks have like a two or three run lead late. They blow that, but still win the game. Walk off. I like it. They're going to come close to losing a game. It's going to be like it's going to be one of those moments where it's like, oh Jesus Christ.
