00:00First time in the history of Major League Baseball that a team has swept a first-place team six times
00:07in the same season, according to Elias.
00:10Why not us, Curtis?
00:13Has that been used before?
00:14No, never.
00:15I think the teams hate us because they jealous us.
00:18And see, that's why I think, and I don't say people will look at this year as being a failure,
00:23but you asked a great question early this morning.
00:26Thank you, Coach.
00:26You're welcome.
00:27It was my own, by the way.
00:28I know ChatGPT utilized at all.
00:31Well, sometimes.
00:32Because I care about the planet.
00:35Oh, okay.
00:36And there are 50 gallons of water that are utilized every time you use ChatGPT.
00:41I still don't get that.
00:42I'm using a lot of water.
00:43By the way, you use the free version, not the pay version.
00:47No, I did upgrade to the pay version.
00:49Oh, you did?
00:49I did.
00:50Oh, all right.
00:51What's next, Spotify?
00:52Are you going to pay for Spotify now?
00:52No, no, not Spotify, because I still get some cool little commercials in there to help me out with, like
00:57I told you,
00:57Fightland is one of the things I got from Spotify.
01:00But, yeah, I don't know.
01:01I don't.
01:02There's plenty of water in the world, so I don't think, I think we will be fine if we need
01:06it.
01:08But you asked a great question about expectations.
01:12Has it changed?
01:13Yes, and for me, I'm not going to be like, oh, this is a failure of a season if they
01:18lose in the playoffs.
01:20But I will be, like, disappointed because of the way that you have shown me that you can play.
01:27And so I will be looking at, okay, why did you potentially, if they are to lose the series early
01:33and get bouncing, you know, in the first round, why?
01:37I think that's a different answer, though.
01:40Like, you're answering a different question than Greg's asking.
01:42Like, a disappointment is different than asking how something happened.
01:47Like, I think that for me, if I look at it, will I be disappointed if they get bounced early?
01:52Yes.
01:53Is it a waste of a season?
01:55No.
01:55Like, it's a success of a season.
01:58Yeah, but he didn't ask him whether it was a success.
02:00He had expectations.
02:00Have your expectations changed?
02:01My expectations have not changed.
02:03I'll be disappointed.
02:03I was merely saying, it's been a rollercoaster of a ride.
02:08And so at one point, we were wondering whether they could get to 100 losses.
02:13Right.
02:14And now, at that point, you might have said, wow, if this team could possibly be the third wildcard team,
02:21then that would be unbelievable.
02:23I'm just wondering, when they go 31-5 in their last 36, oftentimes against teams that are over 500, does
02:35your expectation change?
02:37And if they don't get to the World Series, is that a bit of a failure?
02:41Yes, because how could it be a failure on a team that was the worst team in baseball history?
02:46I totally get it.
02:46Here's why.
02:47I totally get it.
02:48Here's why.
02:49I demand results, Curtis.
02:50When we looked at the Patriots last year and the way that they were performing and throughout the season, our
02:59expectations weren't them getting to the Super Bowl.
03:01But if they would have got bounced in the first round, there's no way on God's green earth you would
03:06be telling, you could tell me that we would not be sitting here going,
03:10that was a major disappointment on what they did based on how we've seen them perform all season long.
03:18Disappointing and failure are two very different things.
03:21I mean, potato, tomato.
03:25That's not.
03:27Did he just say potato or did you say tomato?
03:29Tomato, tomato, potato, potato.
03:31He said potato.
03:32Potato, tomato.
03:33That's better than too big for his bridges.
03:36Yeah, you know what I was thinking?
03:37I have, you know what's crazy?
03:39I had potato in my mind from Spider-Man.
03:42Oh, Shime's not paying attention?
03:45He's trying to get the audio.
03:46I had potato in my mind because from Spider-Man, they kept talking about potato.
03:50Okay.
03:51But it'll be a disappointment.
03:53If you want to call it a failure, I will call it a failure because of how well you perform
03:58up into the second half of the season and then to get bounced in the first round.
04:03Potato, tomato.
04:06Nailed it.
04:07I just don't think you can compare to the Patriots because the Patriots started winning at the beginning of last
04:11season.
04:12No, no, but I'm just saying how we feel.
04:14No, I know, but that's why for this Red Sox team, it's expectations versus disappointment are different.
04:21Let me ask you this question.
04:22My expectation for you.
04:22For me.
04:23For the turnaround.
04:24The turnaround is the success.
04:26Is almost, is the success.
04:28Is the success in my mind.
04:29Of course.
04:29You now have a manager going forward.
04:31You have the general manager.
04:33We thought they were going to have to clean house entirely.
04:36Yeah.
04:36The future of this organization is now healthy again.
04:40There has been a, it resuscitated in a way that none of us in a million years could have ever
04:45expected.
04:46Potato, tomato.
04:47The notion that they could lose in the first round.
04:50The reason the Patriots expectations shifted in the playoffs was because you're losing, you would have lost to the Broncos
04:57with their backup quarterback, a guy that was your second stringer here in Jarrett Stidham.
05:02Loses mindset.
05:03I'm kind of sitting around me because I would ask you this.
05:06Who's the.
05:06Not me though.
05:07No, no, not you.
05:08Potato, tomato.
05:09Who's the best team in baseball right now?
05:11The Red Sox.
05:12So Dodgers.
05:13I would say.
05:14Potato, tomato.
05:15I would say you just beat the best team in baseball.
05:19You swept them.
05:19And I look at you as being, all right, if you want to say the Dodgers, I still would say
05:24you're the second best team in baseball.
05:26Let's say the Yankees get healthy with Aaron Judge and they beat you in the playoffs.
05:29If you lose, it is a failure because of what you were able to do in the second half of
05:37the season.
05:37So going into the postseason, I'm expecting that you are the favorite or one of the favorites.
05:44And if you get bounced in the first round, to me, it was a failure of what you were able
05:50to accomplish that second half of the season and where you're going.
05:53I'm not saying people should be fired or anything like that.
05:56But to sit here and say, you wouldn't look at that as a failure based off of the way that
06:01they're playing tells me you have a loser's mentality.
06:03Also, you look at last, you look at, I mean, I'm just keeping it a bean.
06:07Are you saying Courtney and Curtis have a loser's mentality?
06:09I don't, I do not agree with that.
06:11I mean, we lost a lot of BC.
06:12You wouldn't be satisfied with that.
06:14Well, I would say you have to look at last season and what they were able to accomplish.
06:18Right.
06:18And that is losing to the Yankees in round one, going into this season, pretty much the same team, minus
06:26Bregman.
06:27Your expectation was, I'm assuming they were going to get farther.
06:31Yes.
06:32Win that first round.
06:33And so your expectation should be that they are going to continue to advance.
06:38Yeah.
06:38You know why I called them frauds?
06:40Because, you know.
06:41Why are you angry?
06:42You didn't call me a fraud yet.
06:43It's not angry.
06:44You said, you said loser's mentality.
06:45Now I'm a fraud.
06:46Why do you, why do you have, why does passion mean anger to you?
06:50No, it's just the way, not angry.
06:51I like, I like when you're feisty.
06:53I would say, yeah, that's not anger.
06:55Because I would say this.
06:56You know what I always say about passion versus anger?
06:59Oh.
07:00That's too late now.
07:02Potato, tomato.
07:03Let them work now.
07:04Exactly.
07:04But here's what I would say.
07:05Here's why I'd call them frauds.
07:07Right?
07:07Because it was a.
07:08Here comes an analogy.
07:09No, no.
07:09It was a failure for a team that your expectations changed for with the Boston Celtics.
07:15All right.
07:16What is going on is insane.
07:19That was insane last night.
07:20Unbelievable.
07:21And so.
07:22There's a lot of people.
07:22You know what I mean?
