Boston, the simulcast has followed us here to July Stadium,

where we're here for Patriots training camp.

We'll get to some football stuff later this hour.

But I want to finish up all this Red Sox stuff.

And not finish it up, I want to hit on it all day because it's just sort of like even in a great win,

even in a, you know, another come from behind or clutch and late performance,

it's sort of that Red Sox game last night fed some of your worst fears if you have those worst fears. And, you know, many callers have said, and the last one certainly said that they keep winning, so what's the diff? And so, I mean, I ask you, if they keep winning, what's the diff? Well, so the look, that's right. I mean, at the end of the day, it's all about the wins. But I'll tell you, look, in some ways, the last little bit here, because again, the two nights here against the Yankees and then Toronto, essentially get the same thing, that your bullpen's cracking, but you're winning the games anyway because your lineup is so good, you've got some balls you know what team was like

that the o three red sox they had unbelievable balls they came back over and over and over again and

they won and then they got into the playoffs and their manager was so traumatized by their bullpen

that even when they started to pitch well he couldn't go to them so i i just worry about the cumulative effected that and and core is an element in this discussion too mike that when you look at it you say you know does this affect the way he looks at his bullpen and when he gets to october he's going to try to do it a certain way you look at him last night or is it all on the pitchers no to me it the pitchers. Was there any situation there that you second guess?

No, because Pomerant sucks so bad. They went to their bullpen and, you know, they were just, the big one last night was Kimbril. Because the other guys, none of them had the lead. Kimball finally got the lead and then gave it back. But when you weigh it all out on top of everything else that we believe, you look at it and He said, you know, now that I think of it, Kelly get in the game and threw the ball away.

Barnes get in the game and threw the ball away,

Barnes get in the game and gave up a double to the gap. Kimbril came in the game and gave up a game tying Homer, and then Thornburg had a 10-5 lead and gives up a two-run homer. So they all got hit every single one of them. and can you win by pounding people into submission?

Yeah, you can.

I just like the odds better. single one of them. And, you know, can you win by pounding people into submission?

Yeah, you can.
