Also wondering about the Red Sox IP problem arising? Do you feel they should acquire a veteran starter ? How about going a 6 man rotation to limit innings? Crispwell Wink or Dick Fitts? Let me know what you think.
It seems like it was only yesterday that Duran couldn't track down a fly ball. Now Duran is making the best of reels! Netflix is filming the team. They have something to prove!
This team honestly reminds me of last year's D-Backs, and we know where that team got. It's an exciting young core that has the potential to make a statement come October.
I have believed in this team since the start of the season. Have not faltered. As the great Tug McGraw once said. "You Gotta Believe" !!! Love these guys. So exciting to watch. Despite injuries they have been winning. Getting some of the injured players back is priceless. The promise of the youngsters is coming to fruition. And when you take a look at whats coming in the pipeline you gotta smile. I have been following Marcello Mayer . He is a good defender and hitter. Teel, Anthony and Yorke. Nice problems to have. I don't miss a single game. Great video Corbin!!! Joe
I watch whenever I can every year no matter how they are playing since67 I enjoy it more when they are playing good ball as a team which they are right now enjoy the moment and watch and see how it plays out these guys seem to have a great chemistry and just a hell of lotta fun to watch!GOSOX!!
Duran is one of the most exciting players in baseball. Hitting, fielding, stealing.... and hustling. He is inspiring a lot of the younger players on the team.
The Red Sox are 14-7 in June so far. Catching the Yankees is not out of the question. They have a shot as long as their within 10 games by the All Star Break. There is a lot of season left.
I was not fully invested on this year’s team until the last home stand and the 9 stolen bases game specifically. When I realized that I’m watching the core players of this team for years to come and that they’re really,really exciting to watch, now I’m all in. I’m along for the ride and really feel like it’s only going to get more exciting
We’ve proved a lot of people wrong, and I am proud of that. Everyone has done their part for this team in one way or another. Heck, Bobby is even got a hit while he was up here. We just gotta keep this momentum going and not get any of the second half jitters.
Good morning, Corbin and Red Seat Radio faithful. East Boston checking in from South Florida. I fell asleep early and woke up to Duran walking off. I started my morning by voting for all of our boys to go to the all-star game. Five more votes tomorrow. Duran, Wong, and Ref should be in Texas!
I’ve been watching nearly every game and have been pleasantly surprised by its performance. Last nights game was especially fun to watch. If they keep it up they will definitely be contenders. I’m excited to watch the second half of the season!
I'm loving the ride. I think the biggest weakness is the one we thought it would be: starting pitching. Every one of the starting pitchers has a June ERA way above the April ERA. It hasn't been so obvious because the offense has increased to make wins anyway. But with most of our pitchers about to exceed their season innings records, I fear they'll start getting really gassed. I expect if the winning is to continue, reinforcements are needed.
It'll be interesting to see what the rotation ends up looking like by the end of the year honestly. I think for the most part the rotation has been fine I think we all knew they were never going to be the best in baseball, but above average was the goal and that is where they are at right now. Going into the second half they are absolutely going to need someone though as you're right everyone even Houck is going to be blowing past his innings high by early August
Great game last night.. we did get some help by the ump in the end with that “balk”. But if we keep trucking we might make it I’ll still keep saying our starting pitching is not where it needs to be .. apart from Tanner, we keep playing catch up with horrible starting pitching. Nick and Crawford need to do better. We need and rely on them. Glad our defense and outfield is stellar and lucky our opponents haven’t been playing their A game.
In all fairness by rule definition that was a balk, it was the right call. Nick hasn't been great, Kutter has had his moments, but he has also had two quality starts (6 innings 3 or fewer runs) in his last 2 games. He gives the sox close to that every time out The sox will be in good shape.
Kutter has been improving slightly that’s a fact.. But again a lot of close calls. hope so! I’m loving the fire 🔥 so far.. hope Bello brings the heat today.. he’s also has been subpar with a lot of errors. I guess the END result is what matters but I’d like to see a little more stability is what I’m saying.
Every guy in that dugout plays for each other you can see the camaraderie you can see the closeness between every player if one guy doesn't do it the next guy will pick him up this is the most fun I've had as a Red Sox fan in probably the last 2 years!!⚾⚾
Great video 👍🏻. It’s amazing to me that there are still many people (online at least) scoffing at this team. They are fun as hell to watch and they play their asses off. And they’re a young team that has now acquired hard earned confidence. That makes them a dangerous team. Re Vaughan Grissom - honestly, they need to get him a whole lot of reps in the minors before they even consider putting him back in the lineup. I think he will ultimately be a very good player but he had no Spring Training, got sick and lost a lot of weight, and was then rushed into the Majors. It resulted into him being a virtual automatic out and losing a lot of confidence. Hamilton and Valdez have been a great addition to the team and they deserve to remain up. Because of the youth & athleticism, this team is the most fun Red Sox team to watch since the 2018 team.
AC won't get manager of the year bc Vogt has been impressive with the Guards for sure, but man is he gonna break Craig Counsell's record contract. I just hope it's with Boston. There's games that it feels like he wins. Him giving the kids confidence to play is why we are where we are, that's why Campbell got the chance, it's trusting them to do what they can do.
Last nights game was awesome, I thought about going bed when it was getting late, but I’m glad I didn’t, 2 run homer from Hamilton and then next inning with bases loaded 2 run single by Gonzalez, then fast Red Sox manage to win from a double by Duran with 43 scoring all the way from second to win the game
I'm in anyways because I'm still a fan. Regardless of win or lose. We can do it though and also I think we can possibly get into the World Series and win it all
My way of supporting this team? I’m a fan who moved from CT to Delaware when I was a teen (Boggs was my favorite as a kid), so I have to pay $140 or something crazy yearly just to watch these guys. I almost cancelled before the season started but decided against it. My way of officially being on board is making that financial purpose and I’m really glad I did. Last two seasons I didn’t watch any games for the last month except the last game one year as a way of saying goodbye to Eck. This team the past couple of years had a decent record around this time but fell apart later on. It really does feel like it’s going to be different this year. If I could get my full money’s worth wanting to actually watch games the whole time, I’ll consider that a win. Any playoff game victory is a cherry on top. I had no expectations for this team so I am pleasantly surprised. Last night was awesome and I haven’t watched that at Fenway in a long time.
Always up for watching the Sox, been doing so since the late 60s even though it's not always been easy and won't stop now. Agree they're playing great just now, just hope they can keep it up. The potential is certainly there. I think their playing better defensively has a lot to do with their recent good run, still committing more errors than they should (although recent games have been much better) but also some great defensive plays, so much better than the horror show of earlier in the season.
These guys have really come together and have been so much fun to watch! Really hoping they make some kind of splash at the deadline. Wanted to get your opinion on a trade possibility that will likely never happen, but I think would make some sense. Send Dom, Masa, and maybe a prospect or two to the Jays for Vladdy... he would provide some more right handed power thats been a big focus for this season, gives you someone you can platoon with Casas as he gets back on his feet and a full time DH after, and then someone that you can rotate in for Casas or even Raffy (big stretch) to give them days at DH or off entirely. Totally wild, or just crazy enough? I really just want to see Raffy and Vladdy scaring teams back to back in the lineup.
Corbin what we're seeing is John Henry's dream coming to fruition! Chaim Bloom did a very good job! Now we're seeing the vision coming true! Hopefully Craig Breslow can add to it! Finally The future is looking bright with Houk and Duran leading the way!
- this team has been a pleasant surprise. Let's hope they can get some guys back from injury to help contribute. - They are a lot of fun to watch, I love the athleticism. Stealing bases, making incredible defensive plays in the outfield. I hope the front office actually gets them some help at the trade deadline this season. - Whether or not they make the playoffs this year, I think the future is bright for the Red Sox. They have a really nice nucleus of young players. - Hopefully they bring Alex Cora back. I think he has done a really good job so far this season.
I have enjoyed all 66years andvthis year im enjoying even more the grit, pride and determination is amazing. Add in the all around play( pitching, getting better on defense, power) The thing I am getting excited about is the speed. I thought they would be good, think they are good and definitely think its sustainable!! Can't wait for all the injured to be back it should be fun!!
I absolutely believe in this team, have from the start. I, like others wanted that big pitcher signing, but those big pitchers are all faltering so glad we didn't waste money and a lost pick on one of those guys.... Great take as always Corbin! You put in the work to put the best content for Red Sox on UA-cam 😊
Last night was truly amazing Houck was likely going to be the tough luck loser and then turned into an incredible win. I'm going to watch either but it's been much easier to watch when they play well. Let's keep it going 👍
2-3 weeks ago I'd have declared last nights game as over in the top 8th. What a damn win. Hamilton is a DAWG right now. Romy is one of our most versatile bench pieces of the past 5 years imo. If the Sox can get a sweep vs the Jays and win the series vs the Padres, Marlins, and Yankees they will be looking NICE. Os are struggling a lot too recently and have a lot of pitching depth sidelined. A lot could change fast by the break
Not sure we need them to win every single series the rest of the month that is massive expectations, but just don't lose more than you win and by the end of july youll be in a good spot
@@redseatradio Yeah for sure lol but I wouldnt put it out of the question to win the next 3-4 series between the weak competition and the Sox current play. The Marlins stink, they've been crushing the Jays so far and fared well the 1st time vs the Yankees. Tonight won't be an easy matchup with Bello vs Gausman though! Im hoping they can go something like 11-6 til the break.
This team is special and we are just gonna get better it’s time to show the league that we are a competitive baseball team with the talent we have on the field
I am a die hard sox fan since the late 1970's this is a great team to watch. The only problem i have is that the ownership only cares for the bottom line. They won't add anything at the deadline in fact I bet they will trade away more high dollar contracts. I love this young core and I hope they give us more of this, but you know they will run out of gas as the season goes on, but let's enjoy it while we can
I’ve been on board pretty much this whole wild ride. But let’s face it, the Reds and Jays kind of gifted a few wins. Red Sox are one of the best teams in the month of June. We Believe!
One of the local sportswriters recently said that it's a problem that the Sox were developing guys in the majors instead of in the minors (Duran as an example). Implied that it hurt the team and wasted time. But guys like him have to polish their game at all levels, making adjustments as they go. These 28 and under players are a major strength of the team now, along with improvement of the pitching and getting more out of guys who were already here for a year or two. So far, so good. A gamble? Somewhat. But pretty good for a bridge year.
They're doing it in spite of ownership. Maybe Henry's callous remarks lit a fire. Guys coming back soon is a good thing and who knows what could happen if they get in via the second or third wild card. Even if they win 85 to 88 games this year, it's a lot better than was predicted for them, so the future looks bright IF ownership lets Breslow add a few pieces ay the trade deadline and during the offseason. I'm hoping that Henry won't say look what we did with a lower payroll and just go with all the young guys. Let Breslow add a left-handed ace or number 2 pitcher and for more than a year or two and some depth pieces and not just waiver wire pickups and they could make some noise the next few years. I don't have confidence that Henry will do that, but maybe Theo can convince him. All in all though, they do look a lot better than advertised since he came out with his remarks. Keep it up guys.
Corbin, you say fight for a wild card spot however what about fighting to get into the playoffs another way by actually fighting to be the top dog like first place.
The Sox minor league depth has been the saving grace for the 2024 season, after all the injuries. I still think, as I've said at the beginning of the year, that they need to acquire a pitching ace. So far the Sale trade for Grissom didn't pan out. By this time NEXT year, we are going to be overloaded with middle infielders. Some will need to be swapped for pitching.
@@redseatradio Grissom could still be a great player, but as far as THIS year, I'd rather have Sale than Grissom. Next year, Grissom, Hamilton, Story, Yorke, Cedanne, Meidroth and Mayer will all be competing for infield spots. Cedanne could be playing center, but who do you sit then, Abreu, Duran or O'Neill?
@@redseatradio I guess I just don't know who to sit out. I've grown attached to the current group they are running out there. Especially Hamilton and Rafaela.
I’m in lockstep with you. This team feels a lot deeper than years past. Bullpen is strong. Bottom of the lineup has been a catalyst for the offense. Shoutout to Campbell last night for setting up the biggest win of the season. If they get to 10 games over .500 by the deadline they have to buy. I’m not saying get crochet or Robert or someone like that but give the fans something to sink their teeth into and show the team you’re committed to winning. Most of the positions are locked up once the big 3 debut so start dealing from your 40 man crunch coming this offseason and get a RHH platoon bat and another starter and you should be able to make some noise
This team is finally starting to pull it all together. And imagine, they are doing it without Casas. Imagine when he gets back. David Hamilton has been a revelation, Rafaela has finally figured out the bat, and Jarren Duran is showing us what he's capable of. Devers has found consistency and Tyler O'Neill is swinging a better bat lately as well.
I agree!!! The Red Sox are absolutely on fire now, and they definitely appear to have turned things around!!! If ownership does not invest even a little bit in this team at the trade deadline, shame on them. Go Red Sox!!!
I'm going to play my "seniority card," and point out the similarities between this years' Sox and the 1967 Impossible Dream team.... Where the part of Jim Lonborg is played by Tanner Houk, and Jarren Duran is a poor-man's version of Carl Yastrzemski. The '67 Sox were very flawed and were very short on pitching. They played the first 75 games at or around .500, but won 10 straight around the All Star break to get into contention. But the one big difference between 1967 and 2024, is that in '67 there were NO dominant teams in the AL, and the Sox ended up as first among equals. (Sorry for the Old Bastard Basebll rant.)
I respectfully disagree in that I believe Minnesota (1965 AL Champs) and Detroit (1968 World Series Champs) were both dominant ball clubs in 1967 who "on paper" should have prevented the Red Sox from winning the pennant ... Yastremski and Lonborg had incredible career seasons that anchored and somehow willed the "Cardiac Kid" Red Sox into the World Series past these two experienced and veteran accomplished teams ... Minnesota had a solid club in 1967 with three future HOF's in their batting order (Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva and Rod Carew who was in his rookie season) along with Bob Allison, Cesar Tovar and Ted Uhlaender also putting up some decent offensive numbers ... They also had a strong starting pitching staff with Dean Chance winning 20 games with a 2.73 ERA and Jim Kaat, Jim Merritt and Dave Boswell winning more than 13 each with a 3.27 or better ERA ... Their bullpen also was quite capable with Ron Kline, Jim Perry and Al Worthington each pitching 71 or more innings and individually winning 7 or more games ... The 1967 Detroit Tigers were also a very talented ball club with future HOF Al Kaline leading the way with a .308 AVE, 25 HRs and a .952 OPS ... Their batting order also included other highly productive run producers in Norm Cash, Bill Freehan, Willie Horton, Dick McAuliffe and Jim Northrup who all had 60 or more RBI's ... The Tigers starting pitching was led by Earl Wilson who won 22 games along with Denny McLain, Joe Sparma and Mickey Lolich all pitching over 200 innings while also individually winning 14 or more games ... Their bullpen was equally solid with Hank Aguirre, Pat Dobson, Mike Marshall, Dave Wickersham, and Fred Gladding all having an ERA of 2.92 or less ...
The Sox are fun to watch. I still think they are second tier. The Yankees, Orioles, and Cleveland all have run differentials greater than 100. I do think the Sox have a good chance of being at the top of the next tier. Minnesota and Kansas City are teams the Sox can and should beat. Even Seattle is not out of reach record wise. I would note however that Houston and to a lesser extent Texas are showing signs of life, and with a half season to go they will likely be back in the wildcard mix.
Of course. And yeah it’s not gonna be easy to get in and that’s why I said I am not trying to convince you they should be World Series projectors but they can and should compete
The team is taking advantage of subpar teams, but that's what good teams do. Masa and Abreu are not in the zone, but that will change. I've been in on the team since the start of baseball in March. Remember I said back then that if they came out of April with a winning record, they were a good team. Cases is getting closer as well. My only concern at this point is that they might trade Kenley Jansen. He has 14 saves and a 90% success rate. Let's hope that doesn't happen. With strong pitching, this team is built for the playoffs
Winning really fixes alot. I’m a patient fan. It makes me sick when a player is given too much money and they sour in the sun. The kids take awhile. And I know that. Mayer and Teel might need more time. Or maybe you bring them up for a cup of coffee and let them experience things? I think Cora is a good manager. I hope he’s on board with things. I smarted quite a bit when Mookie left town. But look at the Celtics. They have to pay big dollars, but when you have youth you have to pay up. Contract talk needs to be done outside the press. Better to move early than wait too long. Don’t want to lose this kid Duran.
We need to solidify our core by extending the young players that are really driving the team here. Duran, comes to mind as a no brainer. And I think Casas should be extended as well. I love the fact that we are doing this well without the bigger name players like story and grissom
Casas yes, Duran is a really interesting conversation because he’s not a FA until he’s 33 years old idk if the Sox would wanna extend him into his mid to late 30s
One way to eradicate some mistakes made this last offseason could be a move in a lateral move for a starting pitcher. Would Detroit take Lucas Giolito,Vaughn Grissom,Cooper Criswell and a lower prospect for Jack Flaherty if we pay the remaining part of Giolitos 2024 salary plus 65% of his team option for next year? We have the $$. And we are so deep that Grissom truly won't be missed. Hamilton,Romy Gonzalez, Valdez,Yorke,Chase meidroth,Kristian Campbell,cutter coffey and yoeilin cespedes should be plenty enough for us to forget about Grissom.
The problem with trying to land Flaherty as a rental is that there will be mulitple bidders, including the Baltimore Orioles who should be willing to offer #27 prospect Coby Mayo, who is blocked at the MLB level byJordan Westburg. So why would the Tigers go for your deal of getting 5 nickels for a quarter? The Tigers will hold out for Kyle Teel, who is blocked at the mlb level by Connor Wong. Trying to fill a team's pitching needs at the trade deadline is very expensive. Kind of like going to Cumberland Farms on Thanksgiving morning to buy your groceries for dinner that day. It costs twice as much and the quality is not as good.
@@atgn70 Are you too young to remember Bagwell for Larry Anderson? Flaherty is worth all that to the Orioles, who haven't been to a WS since 1983 and have a much more talented team than the Red Sox. To the O's, Flaherty is the last missing piece. If the Red Sox got him in a trade, they'd still be a longshot contender to make the WS
@jackm4457 I lost my mind the day we gave up Bagwell for andersen instead of something else. .Maybe I'm questioning Flahertys value considering he wouldn't be the only valuable guy out there. I thought adding Bleis to that package would be too much. Lol. Another name may be Max Scherzer. Even with Luzardos back being an issue today,Id still be on him too even if he cost more.
@@atgn70 What other rentals are out there that would be clearly preferable to Flaherty? (and that is not a rhetorical question... I'm not sure.) I just feel that making 'impactful" trades at the deadline means the contending team is always almost going to get fleeced. Larry Anderson DID help the Sox win the AL East in 1990... they just went on to get swept by a very strong A's team in the ALCS. Flaherty could well help the Sox win a WC sport, but I don't think he'd have much impact in getting the Sox even past the ALDS. But different risk/reward scenario for Baltimore. JMO, of oourse.
Honestly I think he still has the talent I just don't know if that will get proven in MLB at any point. He is only going to get maybe 1-2 more chances before they make a move. That has been something the sox have been really good about this year
I’m pleasantly surprised by their recent success but I’m still not buying in 1. The recent success of Duran and Hamilton is not substainable 2. The pitching is definitely not substainable
💯 % been on board since the get go. With that tsunami of injuries, at first I thought it was just gonna be a fun year to watch the young talent develop but then the pitching started to be off the hook GOOD! Then all these names that made you go WHO!? started to get GOOD too. Then came the doldrums with all of the errors and blown games leading up to the Phillies and Stankees ass kicking series wins followed by sweeping Toronto. All of a sudden we're beating the best teams in baseball PLUS the mediocre and crummy ones instead of them beating us. The developing camaraderie and emergence of our young studs becoming superstars has been worth every minute of pain we have endured. GO RED SOX! PS - Ownership group, you suck!🖕
we need to shore up a starter, and get rid of isaiah campbell. we have to stop trying to squeeze blood from a stone, and get a solid mid-relief guy, as well as another solid bat. it doesn't have to be a superstar, but consistent guys. the isaiah campbell's, and brad keller's of the world have only hurt us...joeley rodriguez style guys will only cost us winnable games.
I always believe in the Sox until they force to not to. Would love to see ownership go get us a 5th starter and maybe a bullpen arm at the deadline… or Vladdy?!?! And please for the love of god send Isaiah Campbell back down to the minors!!
22 games into his Red Sox career btw. About the same time when people said Casas was a bust, or wilyer was a bust or duran was a bust. Oh and he never fully healed from his injury and lost 14 pounds due to the flue in those 22 games. At least know what you're talking about

Great game last night.. we did get some help by the ump in the end with that “balk”. But if we keep trucking we might make it
I’ll still keep saying our starting pitching is not where it needs to be .. apart from Tanner, we keep playing catch up with horrible starting pitching. Nick and Crawford need to do better. We need and rely on them.
Glad our defense and outfield is stellar and lucky our opponents haven’t been playing their A game.
In all fairness by rule definition that was a balk, it was the right call. Nick hasn't been great, Kutter has had his moments, but he has also had two quality starts (6 innings 3 or fewer runs) in his last 2 games. He gives the sox close to that every time out The sox will be in good shape.
Kutter has been improving slightly that’s a fact.. But again a lot of close calls. hope so! I’m loving the fire 🔥 so far.. hope Bello brings the heat today.. he’s also has been subpar with a lot of errors. I guess the END result is what matters but I’d like to see a little more stability is what I’m saying.
Exactly what I’m talking about.. we’re playing catch up with our starting pitchers. Bello in this case right now
Beautiful time to head into July !!
Every guy in that dugout plays for each other you can see the camaraderie you can see the closeness between every player if one guy doesn't do it the next guy will pick him up this is the most fun I've had as a Red Sox fan in probably the last 2 years!!⚾⚾
Yeah that’s what they need to do. Don’t play for anything else but each other
Great video 👍🏻. It’s amazing to me that there are still many people (online at least) scoffing at this team. They are fun as hell to watch and they play their asses off. And they’re a young team that has now acquired hard earned confidence. That makes them a dangerous team.
Re Vaughan Grissom - honestly, they need to get him a whole lot of reps in the minors before they even consider putting him back in the lineup. I think he will ultimately be a very good player but he had no Spring Training, got sick and lost a lot of weight, and was then rushed into the Majors. It resulted into him being a virtual automatic out and losing a lot of confidence. Hamilton and Valdez have been a great addition to the team and they deserve to remain up.
Because of the youth & athleticism, this team is the most fun Red Sox team to watch since the 2018 team.
I think it is just a lot of people sticking too their guns
Love what I’m seeing from Boston so far
AC won't get manager of the year bc Vogt has been impressive with the Guards for sure, but man is he gonna break Craig Counsell's record contract. I just hope it's with Boston. There's games that it feels like he wins. Him giving the kids confidence to play is why we are where we are, that's why Campbell got the chance, it's trusting them to do what they can do.
Yeah he has been really pulling some incredible strings so far this year
Last nights game was awesome, I thought about going bed when it was getting late, but I’m glad I didn’t, 2 run homer from Hamilton and then next inning with bases loaded 2 run single by Gonzalez, then fast Red Sox manage to win from a double by Duran with 43 scoring all the way from second to win the game
I'm in anyways because I'm still a fan. Regardless of win or lose. We can do it though and also I think we can possibly get into the World Series and win it all
I'm excited about this team. The youngsters are developing and the pitching is solid. Go Sox!
My way of supporting this team? I’m a fan who moved from CT to Delaware when I was a teen (Boggs was my favorite as a kid), so I have to pay $140 or something crazy yearly just to watch these guys. I almost cancelled before the season started but decided against it. My way of officially being on board is making that financial purpose and I’m really glad I did. Last two seasons I didn’t watch any games for the last month except the last game one year as a way of saying goodbye to Eck. This team the past couple of years had a decent record around this time but fell apart later on. It really does feel like it’s going to be different this year. If I could get my full money’s worth wanting to actually watch games the whole time, I’ll consider that a win. Any playoff game victory is a cherry on top. I had no expectations for this team so I am pleasantly surprised. Last night was awesome and I haven’t watched that at Fenway in a long time.
It does it does feel different this year. I really hope it is
Always up for watching the Sox, been doing so since the late 60s even though it's not always been easy and won't stop now. Agree they're playing great just now, just hope they can keep it up. The potential is certainly there. I think their playing better defensively has a lot to do with their recent good run, still committing more errors than they should (although recent games have been much better) but also some great defensive plays, so much better than the horror show of earlier in the season.
I've never been "off" board; through thick and thin, brother! 👊🏼
Ofc I believed in this team through thick and thin baby!!!!!!!!
I feel some 2021 vibes rn
It's been a wild ride!
I just get a 2021 feeling from the team and it makes me feel better that they are actually good
Does feel similar. Hopefully they can get there
@@redseatradio ya
These guys have really come together and have been so much fun to watch! Really hoping they make some kind of splash at the deadline. Wanted to get your opinion on a trade possibility that will likely never happen, but I think would make some sense. Send Dom, Masa, and maybe a prospect or two to the Jays for Vladdy... he would provide some more right handed power thats been a big focus for this season, gives you someone you can platoon with Casas as he gets back on his feet and a full time DH after, and then someone that you can rotate in for Casas or even Raffy (big stretch) to give them days at DH or off entirely. Totally wild, or just crazy enough? I really just want to see Raffy and Vladdy scaring teams back to back in the lineup.
Totally wild. The blue jays would never trade the face of their franchise for Masa, a DFA candidate and 1 prospect
I was worried they were gonna embarrass themselves in front of the celtics crowd but this team has so much heart.
Corbin what we're seeing is John Henry's dream coming to fruition! Chaim Bloom did a very good job! Now we're seeing the vision coming true! Hopefully Craig Breslow can add to it! Finally The future is looking bright with Houk and Duran leading the way!
- this team has been a pleasant surprise. Let's hope they can get some guys back from injury to help contribute.
- They are a lot of fun to watch, I love the athleticism. Stealing bases, making incredible defensive plays in the outfield. I hope the front office actually gets them some help at the trade deadline this season.
- Whether or not they make the playoffs this year, I think the future is bright for the Red Sox. They have a really nice nucleus of young players.
- Hopefully they bring Alex Cora back. I think he has done a really good job so far this season.
Top 3 OPS in the AL are AL east. Shows how tough this division is
The biggest question is… does ownership believe?
No they don't. they haven't this entire year. BUt right now that doesn't matter to this team, they are playing for each other, and this fan base
@@redseatradio hopefully ownership doesn’t force Breslow to sell at the deadline.
I have enjoyed all 66years andvthis year im enjoying even more the grit, pride and determination is amazing. Add in the all around play( pitching, getting better on defense, power) The thing I am getting excited about is the speed. I thought they would be good, think they are good and definitely think its sustainable!! Can't wait for all the injured to be back it should be fun!!
Yeah the speed has kind of surprised everyone we knew they were athletic but this is really a different level
I absolutely believe in this team, have from the start. I, like others wanted that big pitcher signing, but those big pitchers are all faltering so glad we didn't waste money and a lost pick on one of those guys....
Great take as always Corbin! You put in the work to put the best content for Red Sox on UA-cam 😊
Thanks a lot for watching Traci!
Ya but the Sox are performing wll DESPITE the moves made by management. Not because of them
Last night was truly amazing Houck was likely going to be the tough luck loser and then turned into an incredible win. I'm going to watch either but it's been much easier to watch when they play well. Let's keep it going 👍
Much easier lol
2-3 weeks ago I'd have declared last nights game as over in the top 8th. What a damn win. Hamilton is a DAWG right now. Romy is one of our most versatile bench pieces of the past 5 years imo.
If the Sox can get a sweep vs the Jays and win the series vs the Padres, Marlins, and Yankees they will be looking NICE. Os are struggling a lot too recently and have a lot of pitching depth sidelined. A lot could change fast by the break
Not sure we need them to win every single series the rest of the month that is massive expectations, but just don't lose more than you win and by the end of july youll be in a good spot
@@redseatradio Yeah for sure lol but I wouldnt put it out of the question to win the next 3-4 series between the weak competition and the Sox current play. The Marlins stink, they've been crushing the Jays so far and fared well the 1st time vs the Yankees. Tonight won't be an easy matchup with Bello vs Gausman though! Im hoping they can go something like 11-6 til the break.
I believe but if you heard Breslow last night I wasn’t convinced the brass will invest
They never were. This is about playing for each other and the fans
This team is special and we are just gonna get better it’s time to show the league that we are a competitive baseball team with the talent we have on the field
Preach step on the damn gas boston
The knock on wood with the zoom in had me dying
Had to make sure I didn’t jinx them
We should vote to get at least one Red Sox player in the all star game
I am a die hard sox fan since the late 1970's this is a great team to watch. The only problem i have is that the ownership only cares for the bottom line. They won't add anything at the deadline in fact I bet they will trade away more high dollar contracts. I love this young core and I hope they give us more of this, but you know they will run out of gas as the season goes on, but let's enjoy it while we can
I guess we will see if you’re wrong soon
hopefully they can build on last nights game, great win
Yeah they absolutely have too this was easily the best win of the year
I’ve been on board pretty much this whole wild ride. But let’s face it, the Reds and Jays kind of gifted a few wins. Red Sox are one of the best teams in the month of June. We Believe!
Jaren Duran better make the all star game!!
One of the local sportswriters recently said that it's a problem that the Sox were developing guys in the majors instead of in the minors (Duran as an example). Implied that it hurt the team and wasted time. But guys like him have to polish their game at all levels, making adjustments as they go. These 28 and under players are a major strength of the team now, along with improvement of the pitching and getting more out of guys who were already here for a year or two. So far, so good. A gamble? Somewhat. But pretty good for a bridge year.
Yeah that is absolutely the wrong take. Every single play needs to develop at the big league level. all of them. wow that is a brutal take
Corbin your the goat
Thank you!!
one word.......clutch
Very
Corbin el futuro se ve bienn red sox
Sí. Sí, lo hace
They're doing it in spite of ownership. Maybe Henry's callous remarks lit a fire. Guys coming back soon is a good thing and who knows what could happen if they get in via the second or third wild card. Even if they win 85 to 88 games this year, it's a lot better than was predicted for them, so the future looks bright IF ownership lets Breslow add a few pieces ay the trade deadline and during the offseason. I'm hoping that Henry won't say look what we did with a lower payroll and just go with all the young guys. Let Breslow add a left-handed ace or number 2 pitcher and for more than a year or two and some depth pieces and not just waiver wire pickups and they could make some noise the next few years. I don't have confidence that Henry will do that, but maybe Theo can convince him. All in all though, they do look a lot better than advertised since he came out with his remarks. Keep it up guys.
There should be an award for most improved big leaguer. We have several candidates.
Corbin, you say fight for a wild card spot however what about fighting to get into the playoffs another way by actually fighting to be the top dog like first place.
That would be awesome but I think it’s more realistic to look towards the wild card
Breslow is the smartest guy in baseball no matter what. I was talking like this in spring training.
Yay!! I'm believing!!!!!...until the next B.S. injury.
The Sox minor league depth has been the saving grace for the 2024 season, after all the injuries. I still think, as I've said at the beginning of the year, that they need to acquire a pitching ace. So far the Sale trade for Grissom didn't pan out. By this time NEXT year, we are going to be overloaded with middle infielders. Some will need to be swapped for pitching.
Hard to see them saying it’s a bust after just simply not being on the field and 22 games
@@redseatradio Grissom could still be a great player, but as far as THIS year, I'd rather have Sale than Grissom. Next year, Grissom, Hamilton, Story, Yorke, Cedanne, Meidroth and Mayer will all be competing for infield spots. Cedanne could be playing center, but who do you sit then, Abreu, Duran or O'Neill?
Grissom could be a decent back up player. Give some guys a break here and there.
He could be much better than that his potential is huge
@@redseatradio I guess I just don't know who to sit out. I've grown attached to the current group they are running out there. Especially Hamilton and Rafaela.
I’m in lockstep with you. This team feels a lot deeper than years past. Bullpen is strong. Bottom of the lineup has been a catalyst for the offense. Shoutout to Campbell last night for setting up the biggest win of the season. If they get to 10 games over .500 by the deadline they have to buy. I’m not saying get crochet or Robert or someone like that but give the fans something to sink their teeth into and show the team you’re committed to winning. Most of the positions are locked up once the big 3 debut so start dealing from your 40 man crunch coming this offseason and get a RHH platoon bat and another starter and you should be able to make some noise
Honestly even if they are 7-6 games up by the deadline they absolutely should buy
Hey Corbin, I think you need to do a campaign video for Duran and the ASG! This is getting redic that he doesn’t have the votes.
What do we do with Grissom he’ll be back soon?????
Not sure tbh it depends on how Valdez does until he gets back
You had to go and curse us didn't you😂😂😂😂😂😂
This team is finally starting to pull it all together. And imagine, they are doing it without Casas. Imagine when he gets back. David Hamilton has been a revelation, Rafaela has finally figured out the bat, and Jarren Duran is showing us what he's capable of. Devers has found consistency and Tyler O'Neill is swinging a better bat lately as well.
Yep yep yep yep
Special moment last night? Oh yes! Will there be others? Stay tuned.
Have you seen these Sox in person yet? Maybe you should make plans!
Oh yeah I’ve been to quite a few games and have 3 coming up in the next 2 weeks
The Red Sox Radio crew need to get out & see them!
I agree!!! The Red Sox are absolutely on fire now, and they definitely appear to have turned things around!!! If ownership does not invest even a little bit in this team at the trade deadline, shame on them.
Go Red Sox!!!
Yeah it’ll be a big problem if they don’t at this point
Not to be that guy but I did comment “houck cy young” way back before the season started
I am hoping for a blockbuster trade that sends Robert and Crochet to the Red Sox. I am prepared to send out the farm for it too.
I'm going to play my "seniority card," and point out the similarities between this years' Sox and the 1967 Impossible Dream team.... Where the part of Jim Lonborg is played by Tanner Houk, and Jarren Duran is a poor-man's version of Carl Yastrzemski. The '67 Sox were very flawed and were very short on pitching. They played the first 75 games at or around .500, but won 10 straight around the All Star break to get into contention. But the one big difference between 1967 and 2024, is that in '67 there were NO dominant teams in the AL, and the Sox ended up as first among equals. (Sorry for the Old Bastard Basebll rant.)
Really fun comparison there
Interesting 🧐
I respectfully disagree in that I believe Minnesota (1965 AL Champs) and Detroit (1968 World Series Champs) were both dominant ball clubs in 1967 who "on paper" should have prevented the Red Sox from winning the pennant ... Yastremski and Lonborg had incredible career seasons that anchored and somehow willed the "Cardiac Kid" Red Sox into the World Series past these two experienced and veteran accomplished teams ...
Minnesota had a solid club in 1967 with three future HOF's in their batting order (Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva and Rod Carew who was in his rookie season) along with Bob Allison, Cesar Tovar and Ted Uhlaender also putting up some decent offensive numbers ... They also had a strong starting pitching staff with Dean Chance winning 20 games with a 2.73 ERA and Jim Kaat, Jim Merritt and Dave Boswell winning more than 13 each with a 3.27 or better ERA ... Their bullpen also was quite capable with Ron Kline, Jim Perry and Al Worthington each pitching 71 or more innings and individually winning 7 or more games ...
The 1967 Detroit Tigers were also a very talented ball club with future HOF Al Kaline leading the way with a .308 AVE, 25 HRs and a .952 OPS ... Their batting order also included other highly productive run producers in Norm Cash, Bill Freehan, Willie Horton, Dick McAuliffe and Jim Northrup who all had 60 or more RBI's ... The Tigers starting pitching was led by Earl Wilson who won 22 games along with Denny McLain, Joe Sparma and Mickey Lolich all pitching over 200 innings while also individually winning 14 or more games ... Their bullpen was equally solid with Hank Aguirre, Pat Dobson, Mike Marshall, Dave Wickersham, and Fred Gladding all having an ERA of 2.92 or less ...
The Sox are fun to watch. I still think they are second tier. The Yankees, Orioles, and Cleveland all have run differentials greater than 100.
I do think the Sox have a good chance of being at the top of the next tier. Minnesota and Kansas City are teams the Sox can and should beat. Even Seattle is not out of reach record wise. I would note however that Houston and to a lesser extent Texas are showing signs of life, and with a half season to go they will likely be back in the wildcard mix.
Of course. And yeah it’s not gonna be easy to get in and that’s why I said I am not trying to convince you they should be World Series projectors but they can and should compete
I’m in
The team is taking advantage of subpar teams, but that's what good teams do. Masa and Abreu are not in the zone, but that will change. I've been in on the team since the start of baseball in March. Remember I said back then that if they came out of April with a winning record, they were a good team. Cases is getting closer as well. My only concern at this point is that they might trade Kenley Jansen. He has 14 saves and a 90% success rate. Let's hope that doesn't happen. With strong pitching, this team is built for the playoffs
Yeah a year ago they played down to their competition, now they play up to their competition
Winning really fixes alot. I’m a patient fan. It makes me sick when a player is given too much money and they sour in the sun. The kids take awhile. And I know that. Mayer and Teel might need more time. Or maybe you bring them up for a cup of coffee and let them experience things? I think Cora is a good manager. I hope he’s on board with things. I smarted quite a bit when Mookie left town. But look at the Celtics. They have to pay big dollars, but when you have youth you have to pay up. Contract talk needs to be done outside the press. Better to move early than wait too long. Don’t want to lose this kid Duran.
What they do with Isaiah Campbell? If they DFA him then Booser+Criswell can't replace him for about a week. Mata time?u
Kinda stuck with him for a little bit tbh at least the next week or So. Probably some low leverage spots to try and build him back up a bit
We need to solidify our core by extending the young players that are really driving the team here. Duran, comes to mind as a no brainer. And I think Casas should be extended as well. I love the fact that we are doing this well without the bigger name players like story and grissom
Casas yes, Duran is a really interesting conversation because he’s not a FA until he’s 33 years old idk if the Sox would wanna extend him into his mid to late 30s
I think if he wants to stick around then keep him around. Reward his effort with a longer contract if that's what he wants. Thanks for the videos!
Can’t believe I turned the game off after that 7th inning (I had to go somewhere but still 😂)
Maybe you need to do that every night
Cora 2nd best manager in MLB give him his due
One way to eradicate some mistakes made this last offseason could be a move in a lateral move for a starting pitcher. Would Detroit take Lucas Giolito,Vaughn Grissom,Cooper Criswell and a lower prospect for Jack Flaherty if we pay the remaining part of Giolitos 2024 salary plus 65% of his team option for next year? We have the $$. And we are so deep that Grissom truly won't be missed. Hamilton,Romy Gonzalez, Valdez,Yorke,Chase meidroth,Kristian Campbell,cutter coffey and yoeilin cespedes should be plenty enough for us to forget about Grissom.
The problem with trying to land Flaherty as a rental is that there will be mulitple bidders, including the Baltimore Orioles who should be willing to offer #27 prospect Coby Mayo, who is blocked at the MLB level byJordan Westburg. So why would the Tigers go for your deal of getting 5 nickels for a quarter? The Tigers will hold out for Kyle Teel, who is blocked at the mlb level by Connor Wong. Trying to fill a team's pitching needs at the trade deadline is very expensive. Kind of like going to Cumberland Farms on Thanksgiving morning to buy your groceries for dinner that day. It costs twice as much and the quality is not as good.
@jackm4457 You think Flaherty on a rental is worth that much? 27th prospect in the big leagues? Then adding Miguel Bleis would help?
@@atgn70 Are you too young to remember Bagwell for Larry Anderson? Flaherty is worth all that to the Orioles, who haven't been to a WS since 1983 and have a much more talented team than the Red Sox. To the O's, Flaherty is the last missing piece. If the Red Sox got him in a trade, they'd still be a longshot contender to make the WS
@jackm4457 I lost my mind the day we gave up Bagwell for andersen instead of something else. .Maybe I'm questioning Flahertys value considering he wouldn't be the only valuable guy out there. I thought adding Bleis to that package would be too much. Lol. Another name may be Max Scherzer. Even with Luzardos back being an issue today,Id still be on him too even if he cost more.
@@atgn70 What other rentals are out there that would be clearly preferable to Flaherty? (and that is not a rhetorical question... I'm not sure.) I just feel that making 'impactful" trades at the deadline means the contending team is always almost going to get fleeced. Larry Anderson DID help the Sox win the AL East in 1990... they just went on to get swept by a very strong A's team in the ALCS. Flaherty could well help the Sox win a WC sport, but I don't think he'd have much impact in getting the Sox even past the ALDS. But different risk/reward scenario for Baltimore. JMO, of oourse.
Do you think that Isaiah Campbell will do good and yesterday was just a fluke or was that his one chance to prove himself to Cora?
Honestly I think he still has the talent I just don't know if that will get proven in MLB at any point. He is only going to get maybe 1-2 more chances before they make a move. That has been something the sox have been really good about this year
I wonder what it would take to pry JT away from Toronto.
Just made 3 accounts on MLB Jarren Durran is getting 15 votes a day for me
Hell yea
I’m pleasantly surprised by their recent success but I’m still not buying in
1. The recent success of Duran and Hamilton is not substainable
2. The pitching is definitely not substainable
its amazing how bello is our 5th starter right now he sucks .
💯 % been on board since the get go. With that tsunami of injuries, at first I thought it was just gonna be a fun year to watch the young talent develop but then the pitching started to be off the hook GOOD! Then all these names that made you go WHO!? started to get GOOD too. Then came the doldrums with all of the errors and blown games leading up to the Phillies and Stankees ass kicking series wins followed by sweeping Toronto. All of a sudden we're beating the best teams in baseball PLUS the mediocre and crummy ones instead of them beating us. The developing camaraderie and emergence of our young studs becoming superstars has been worth every minute of pain we have endured. GO RED SOX! PS - Ownership group, you suck!🖕
Their defense will be their end..
Maybe maybe not
IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN THIS TEAM YOU DONT KNOW BALL
Durans gunna get traded then we'll suck for 6 more years
we need to shore up a starter, and get rid of isaiah campbell. we have to stop trying to squeeze blood from a stone, and get a solid mid-relief guy, as well as another solid bat. it doesn't have to be a superstar, but consistent guys. the isaiah campbell's, and brad keller's of the world have only hurt us...joeley rodriguez style guys will only cost us winnable games.
I always believe in the Sox until they force to not to. Would love to see ownership go get us a 5th starter and maybe a bullpen arm at the deadline… or Vladdy?!?!
And please for the love of god send Isaiah Campbell back down to the minors!!
lmao vladdy would be so much fun
Grissom is not good bro. He's not apart of the future. Trade was a bust.
22 games into his Red Sox career btw. About the same time when people said Casas was a bust, or wilyer was a bust or duran was a bust. Oh and he never fully healed from his injury and lost 14 pounds due to the flue in those 22 games. At least know what you're talking about
1st time watching them and they lost 😅
maybe this is what they meant when they said full throttle
Never wanna hear those words again
LET'S GO REDSOX!!🔴💺📻❤️🖤🚀🚀🚀
