All right, welcome back into breaking balls. I want to get to a couple of things that

happened at the Red Sox over the weekend. They're now two and seven on the season. And I think

there are a couple of moments that you can really pick to identify what separates a loser team

from a winning team or a winner team. And a couple of guys I want to look at are guys who

overall have performed pretty decent, at least based on the numbers, for the Red Sox in the last couple of the, couple of years.

Trevor Story and Greg Weiser.

Okay.

Now, both of those guys, you look at them on paper and you say pretty good players, and they are.

But the problem is that when you get into key situations and they go up against good competition,

the vulnerabilities are there and teams exploit them.

So I want to start with Trevor's story.

I'll tell you what, let's do this.

Story had a pretty good year last year.

25 home runs, I think, was the final number.

And I want to show you, though, where the problem is with Trevor's story.

And so before I even, I'm going to back this up here for a second, just to tell you this.

Trevor's story has trouble with velocity and everybody knows it.

But it's also going to be in the right spot.

So last year of the 25 home runs that Trevor's story hit, and I want to give you the exact

number here so that we're completely accurate with the totals.

Story last season hit 25 home runs, finished with the 741 OPS.

He knocked in 96 runs, and on the surface, you would say all of those things look pretty good.
