| 0:00.0 | Hey, Pick Central listeners, you can find us every Monday through Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. |
| 0:05.9 | Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. |
| 0:09.6 | Welcome to Pick Central. |
| 0:12.0 | Today, we have a very special guest, a man who has taken the Red Sox every night of this year. |
| 0:19.4 | Plans on taking them all 162 and they're one in five. Dave, thanks for joining us. Yeah, yeah, of course. Happy to make time. Yeah, thank you. So what's been, I keep seeing your tweet about the Red Sox. And just picturing you just on your beach pissed off by them, what's been the main, like, thing that you just can't stand right now? Well, they're awful in all respects, but it's really John Henry, the owner, is what's getting to me. And I guess it starts, I thought they're going to be good. They've been awful. So far it's early. I get I'm, I'm being Frank. I get it like Frank Fleming, early onset Fleming. I have a lot more respect for him watching 162, like his game seven of the World Series |
| 0:58.5 | every single year. |
| 0:59.6 | They are awful. |
| 1:01.8 | You know, going into the season, the Bregman, well, it's Devers to Bggman to now nobody. |
| 1:11.2 | Like you have Caleb Durbin, who's not, by the way, he may be okay. |
| 1:15.8 | But he's 0 for 18 to start the season. |
| 1:18.0 | So it's glaring, and their lineup is glaringly weak right now. |
| 1:24.1 | Roman Anthony got off to a slow start. |
| 1:25.6 | But it's just like, why isn't Breggman at third? Like by all accounts, Bregman wants to stay in Boston. He was love the team, love the guys, and they just got outbid by the Cubs. I don't think there's a person on the planet who's like, Durbin's a better player than Bregman. So why isn't Breggman at third base? It's just a financial issue. |
| 1:44.5 | And then you just start going down the path of rehashing everything they've done, |
| 1:49.0 | really, since they let Mookie Betts go. |
| 1:51.3 | And it's like infuriating because the Red Sox are a huge, like, you know, |
| 1:57.8 | part of Boston in this huge franchise in Major League Baseball and in sports. |
| 2:01.9 | So they have money. |
| 2:03.2 | They have the following. |
| 2:04.6 | They can drive revenue. |
| 2:06.2 | And clearly, after they won, they've made the decision that as long as we're okay, |
| 2:12.7 | like if they stink, they're going to be fine until the All-Star break, no matter what. |
