comfortable for young guys as a high fly and the center field should be handled by

Seidon. He's underneath it. He makes the play and the ball game is over. For the first time

this season, the Red Sox have won a series. They take two of three from the reigning

National League Central champions. The Milwaukee Brewers, Sunny Gray was great. The offense really capitalized,

and they shut down the Brewers five to nothing. How about that? Stress-free win all the way through.

That was the first one of those all year. You agree with that, Keith? Your guy Will. Well, both wills. You saw him yesterday at Fenway? Yeah, get along with the Wills. You agree with that, Keith? Your guy will. Well, both wills.

You saw him yesterday at Fenway? Yeah, get along with the wills. You agree with Middlebrooks? It was stress-free yesterday. You know, Sunny Gray was pretty good. I think the second you bring in Weissert, though, I get a little stress. Yeah, I get a little stress based on the early season returns on Weissert. On the Red Sox meter this year, it was a dress-free.

Yeah, you do that.

But that's seventh inning.

Gray walks the lead-off guy. He has a chat with Cora to come back out for the seventh inning. You're going to hear what he told Cora coming up. He walks the lead-off guy. He gets an out. Then Weiser comes in and you're like, oh, God.

Yeah.

Plus, remember, it's only 3-0.

It's not 5-0 yet. So 3-0, and then a runner on, Weissert on. I would say that was when the most stress there was. And then you get Hamilton, scratches one out with two outs, and he's on base. And I have two guys on against Weissert. and yeah, that was a little bit stressful,

but I guess by the Red Sox standards this year, that's about as stress free of a win as you're going to get. They've won two in a row, which, look, they still have a long way to go. They're four and eight. But they are no longer the worst team in baseball. They're no longer the worst team in the American League. Their odds, according to some of the prediction markets, not the betting websites,

but Kalshi among them, still has the Red Sox among the top four teams to win the American

League, which maybe, as you pointed out earlier, Keith, has more to do with their preseason

feeling on the team and just being slow to adjust and not overreact than anything else. But, all right, maybe now they've

bottomed out and maybe now you can catch your breath a little bit with an off day and reset

going into what's a very, very, very winnable series against the Cardinals. Oh, definitely. And

you know, I still think, I win these series, right? I mean, if you can get greedy and sweep, they're not good teams at all. I mean, that's St. Louis team. They're just selling all their players. They're in like tank slash rebuild mode. You got Minnesota after that. No great shakes. So they could potentially go on a little bit of a run, but taking two out of three from the Brewers, so we're a really good team. That's another real positive step for them. And now it feels like after two good starts from Sunny Gray, the idea was you'd have five starters that you feel really good about. That's what it looks like on paper. There's a chance for that. Two turns through the rotation, There's like two and a half. Right. Like you feel good about crochet. You feel good about Sunny Gray. I overall feel good about Connolly early, but it was one good, one bad. And then Baye and Suarez, we're going to be going Saturday and Sunday. Like those guys obviously need to pitch a lot better. But like one thing at a time, I guess.

And so Sonny Gray's gone back-to-back good starts now. Like, I'll take that. And not to go off on a tangent because I agree. Sunny Gray and, you know, some of the other off-season additions have started to pick up finally. Yeah, Contreras had a good series. Just a little bit. but like the cardinal series is a good

not measuring stick for the red soxiss had a good series. Just a little bit. But like the Cardinal series is a good, not measuring stick for the Red Sox, but just a good reminder of who your GM used to be versus who your GM currently is.
