The show that Red Sox Nation turns to first. The baseball reporters, 985, the Sports Hub. Don't you find that ridiculous to believe that he had no – his players were involved? Yes. To some extent, yes. You know what I mean? And again, that might be part of my problem with what I have going on right now, is that if you're John – I mean, it's just basically Dumbrowski said, you know what? Yes, we did. You know, so everybody else from the bar, from him all the way down, there's got to be a message. Shut the door. Get your players, get the manager, get the president of baseball operations in a room and say, guys, this is what happened. The Yankees have caught us. We've been caught for crying out loud.

0:37.9

Step up in front of your locker and say, we did it. It's wrong. We apologize. Everybody's doing it in the game, but it still doesn't make it right. We're sorry. It won't happen again. Let's move on. That's the problem. There's no one strong message coming from everybody in that organization on anything. That's the problem with the organization right now.

0:56.2

Get your heads together, one message, and move on. strong message coming from everybody in that organization on anything. That's the problem with

0:54.6

the organization right now. Get your heads together, one message, and move on. It's pretty easy. Look at the Patriots. There's as good as we've ever seen to do in that. For him, that is irate. I mean, you know, Roche's is, you know. Mild manner as they come. Yeah, and look, Rochey can get animated, it's usually a positive animated.

1:12.5

Right, right. Like, he's got a lot of energy, but he gives most people the benefit of the doubt. I mean, Rochey really is, like, one of the nicer people in the business. He's a good guy. Roche's a good guy who generally sees things through positive eyes. He's all over the Red Sox on this thing. And that comment, Rochi, I thought Roachie nailed it. Boy, did he nail it. And he said, maybe this is why I'm as agitated about it as I am. That you've got Dumbrovsky here saying one thing. Farrell is, oh, yeah, we know the rules. Dumbrowski's laughing about it.

1:45.0

You know, the Red Sox are kind of all over the place, and they've been all over the place on any

1:49.1

story of significance. Where, you know, you go back to the whole David Price thing. David

1:53.8

Price is Rip a neck. Farrell won't apologize for it. Dombrowski won't apologize for it. Sam

apologize in behalf of the organization. The owners go in there, Henry and Warner, they

2:06.4

apologize. Like, it just feels like the Red Sox have nobody. Look at the rest of them saying,

2:11.8

guys, stop. You're embarrassing yourselves. We admit it. We move on.

2:18.5

2:22.5

And this is why I think, boy, Rochi really nailed it.

2:25.6

It's not really about the stealing of the signs.

2:28.3

It's about how they look after it.

2:31.0

And that, to me, is like one of the core things with this Red Sox team.

2:34.8

Good God, you've got to be kidding.

2:37.3

You get the president of baseball operations up there laughing about it.

2:41.0

You know, saying the Yankees leaked it to the media.

2:43.8

Instead of saying, we did it, we're not supposed to use technology. We got popped.
