00:00uh mark let's go back to the red sox here for a minute and they've won 15 games in a
00:04row they're
00:04going for 16 tonight in that double header against the baltimore orioles and you know i i guess it's
00:09more of a bigger picture question than it is necessarily about the red sox which is i which
00:13is why i think most teams outside of a handful mark going into next week are going to be paralyzed
00:19because i think that a lot of front office executives have to be looking at what the red
00:22sox did and say if we're only three games out look at them they won 15 games in a row
00:27how can
00:27we possibly punt if we are the padres or we are the blue jays or we are the orioles and
00:34to me that
00:34is kind of i i think going to be the story of the trade deadline i would expect of course
00:39trades to
00:39be to happen over the next 10 days but to me mark you know thinking anything's going to happen this
00:44week and early next week i just simply don't think so it feels like this is the most teams that
00:48i can
00:48ever recall being in the mix for the postseason well that's because the american league has been
00:54epically bad i mean look this is probably the most mediocre baseball season of my adult life
01:01save the los angeles dodgers nobody is any good like i don't even think the brewers are that good
01:07right like i mean sorry milwaukee fans like i've seen this script before you win 95 games and you're
01:13losing the first round of the playoffs like are we really worried about the brewers make a deep
01:16playoff run i mean objectively nobody in the al is good tampa may be the best team and they ain't
01:23that much better we know how pathetic the yankees are the red socks have come out of nowhere the
01:27orioles are still involved in this thing here as far as the wild card is concerned uh and you've got
01:32you know there are only two teams that are currently out of the third wild card with a positive run
01:39differential everybody else has a negative run differential it's been a bad year across major league
01:44baseball nobody is good so to your point craig everybody's still in this thing because everybody
01:49stinks so it doesn't take much for you to overcome what is the american league at this point in time
01:55nationally it's probably a little bit more competent but still not very deep i mean after you get past the
02:00cubs and the phillies like in the wild card world what else are we really talking about here like
02:04are you really scared of the pirates i mean the offense is great but are you really scared of the
02:09pirates d-backs cardinals and marlins i don't think so
02:11i don't think so
