I don't know what you should do, Mike.

I think I'd rather take a bullet in the head.

I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.

I don't know what to say.

The Beyond Dumb 2 to 6 show, right? Jackpot! 985. The Sports Hub. Ken Giles, the Astros Closer is in, and the Red Sox have the bottom of the lineup coming up. 7, 8, 9. Okay, and, you know, interesting the way this game went down. Rick Porcelo kept you in it.

He gave a base runners all over the place, but at the end of the day, only two runs, right? In three innings, right. And then they bring in Chris Sale for four. And then manager John goes from Sale to Kimball. Sale can't hold the lead. He's got a three-two lead. Both managers go to their aces. Verlander comes in for Houston, Sale comes in for Boston. Sale came in first.

And... Well, Sale can't hold the lead. He's got a three-two lead. Both managers go to their aces. Verlander comes in for Houston.

Sale comes in for Boston.

Sale came in first. And Verlander gave up a two-run, home run, and then Sale, in his very last inning, gave up a solo shot to tie it. Then they go to Kimball, and Kimball gives up one here in the ninth, and so this is where we're at. So the question that people are going to have is whether or not sales should have gone out there for the eighth inning.

And if it were me, I'd have done it.

I'd have sent him out there.

You know, the Red Sox did, and it failed and blew up on them miserably. And just to me, what is revealing about these last couple of days, price going four and was prepared to go fifth, the Red Sox were prepared to use them there, they didn't want to go to Addison Reed in either game. With their season on the line, they didn't want to go to Addison Reed. They wanted to skip them both times. Team that had one of the best bullpens in baseball, at the end of the day, didn't trust anyone out there other than Craig Kimberle. Team with the best bullpen in baseball all season long, and the playoffs went to starters out

there.

Correct.

Were they the wrong moves, though? No. Price saved your ass yesterday. Yeah, no, no, no. They were not the wrong moves. I just think it tells you how managers ultimately look at the postseason versus the regular season, right? Addison Reed, we acquired him. He's going to be our eighth inning guy. but when it came to nut-cutting time

Farrell didn't want him in the game either

the only guy he was willing to go to in the bullpen there was Kimbril. Okay, so Rafi Devers has hit a either lead-off double or triple. Raffy Devers has hit a lead-off triple. Maybe more. They're going to hold him at... Nope. He has hit a lead- inside the park home run. So Raphael Devers has had a lead off inside the park home run to make it five to four. Rafael Devers, who's slow. So that should tell you what happened. The ball hit the wall in left center field and trickled all the way over to the triangle. So there you go. Five, four, three outs to go. Which I called off the air, by the way. We can react as we go along here, as events transpiring, right when it's over,

we'll give you immediate post-game coverage. This is unbelievable. Robert in California, what do you got for us, Robert, on the NFL? Hi, and I'm, hi, guys. How are you doing today? Good. I'm thinking the best quarterback right now that I've been seeing playing consistently as the Sean Watson,

because even though he's got that goober of a John Farrell coach out there that can't make a decision or chokes up, Deshaun Watson still is playing phenomenal ball. So I watched a little bit of that game last night. He's still raw, man. He's still inconsistent. I mean, he lit you up. He, you know, they put up whatever, 52 the next week. And then last night, sort of again, like that thing I was saying about James Winston, he got to be able to take the easy money off the table, man. There's too many short, easy throws that are just chucked over a guy's head or just not out. But he made a couple plays. He made one play. Did you see the long touchdown to Fuller? Yes. Where he gets blitzed up the middle. The guy's got a hand on him. He dips out of the guy's tackle, steps up, and just flick of the wrist, 55 yards in the air, right on Fuller touchdown. That was an insane play. Like, he's going to be an insane player. He just, he needs seasoning. a special you know he looks like they hit they hit on him you know doshan watson i love him in college and already he's making throws like that what's he going to be in a couple of years you know like that looks like that's going to be a special quarterback i mean the athleticism is off the charts he's got a little ways to go though it felt like late in that game he was just chucking him deep a few times. Sure was. Whipping it up there. 617-779-0-985. Dave and Cambridge, go ahead. Hey, how you doing, guys? Good. Okay, Red Sox, first of all. I mean, everyone's talking about best bullpen and baseball. Okay, well, you know what? the only one in the bullpen that's been reliable, the whole series, is a guy who used to be a starter, David Price. So there goes that argument. And real quick, best quarterback in the league right now, Alex Smith, because now he's learning how to throw down field and he's not throwing it up. And you put any other on that team and he's a liability with that defense and their weapons look out for them. Okay. Well, time, the difference in Casey is Alex Smith pushing the ball down the field and making plays down the field. I agree. I don't think he's the best quarterback in the game. It's Rogers Brady and whatever order you want to put him. I mean, even the, even the short touchdown, was it The first one he threw to Charcandric West. Tremendous play. What a great play that was.

I mean, even the short touchdown, was it the first one he threw to Charcandric

West?

Tremendous play. What a great play that was. I mean, really, he extended that play. You know, he was running to his left on that one, too, if I remember right. Yes, he sure was. Like, you know, that's a great play. He's playing out of his mind right now. Would I be worried about if I were Kansas City? The injuries, because they're starting to pile up. I mean, they've already lost Eric Berry.
