Bruins Sign James Hagens to Entry Level Deal // Red Sox Take 2 of 3 from Brewers // Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini Allegations - 4/8 (Hour 3)

I think that feels like a nice package there. Yeah. Wow. Look at those phones, Lider. It's Felger and Maz. Somebody climbed the sports hub. Bruins News. The Bruins have officially signed and brought up James Higgins, their first round pick from last year. Maz, what was your reaction again, Jimmy? Higgins is here. Maz is excited. I want to see the kid play. Okay, we'll give you some thoughts on that coming up, but I promised to phone, so let's do it. Here's Dylan in the car. Go ahead, Dylan. Hello, Dylan. Okay, going to set you up any better there. DJ and Lawrence. Hi, DJ. Guys, come on. Are these guys potted up? How about Ron in Medford? Go ahead, Ron. You guys got to be kidding me. You guys couldn't go any softer on this woman. I mean, this woman's literally giving up her ass to have important papers to do. I mean, you got to be kidding. You're going to be destroying a marriage in the meantime. Is that any different than what the Sullig's reporters do to that team every day? What it did with Chisholm when he kissed his ass to this? Kiss him. That was, that was some full on that. I mean, you got to be kidding. What Himmelsbach did to Chisholm the other day is outlawed in the 38 of the 50 states. Were you kidding me? It's all one form of servicing. Servicing these guys or not. Some truth to that. Sully is in Charlestown. Go ahead, Sully. Mike, what's up, buddy? How you doing? Good, Sully. What do you got? Good. So the whole, you know, rabble, Racini things reminiscent of that Google, but John Farrell and uh, Jess Moran. There's another one. You got a nice journalist reporter and you know, it kind of leaves a stain on for them that are trying to get stories. Cause then now if one breaks a story and any, in any industry, any sports, you give and think to yourself, who'd she pork to get that inside school now? Cause I, you know, I'm thinking that and I'm just to be, you know, respectful and fair. No, no, yeah, that was very respectful. Who she pork and to get that. That was, there was nothing but respect for that. So right. So look, this is, but this is the, the obstacle you're facing the business. If you're a woman, I'm a woman, I'm pissed about it. Right. And nobody says that if you're a guy. And I think it's unfair. And it's totally unfair. Like, and look, and I say it from the standpoint of like, you know, nobody assumes that a guy might be gay or whatever. Like it's just not done that way for whatever reason, just cause a history. Like it could be just as true for a guy and no one knows. You've run into that one mess. Me? No. No, what do you mean? Like am I gay? Yeah. No, like, I mean, someone wanted you to be a little gay for a story. Oh, no. And again, not going full gay, just, you know, climbing the hot tub with a guy. Someone proposition. Just a little size. I'll take a hot tub. Not as a professional. No. Did this happen to you, Mike? I'm trying to think. That's the room of yours. Yeah. Someone was ahead of it a while ago. That is true. But no, listen. I could get a good story back in my beat reporter days. And the guy was gay and he only wanted to say a hot tub. That's it. No. I wouldn't do it. I climb right in the hot tub. Yeah, but the hot tub is going to lead to the next thing you know, what's a hand on your thigh. The next thing is no, no, no, no, no, no, we're going to hot tub. I'm going to take a hot tub. Yeah. No. Dylan's in the car. Go ahead. Dylan, this is getting uncomfortable. Hi, Dylan. What do you got? Hi. I'm here. I'm here. Just one, I think this whole thing in a big New York misdirection campaign. So as we start getting momentum, you know, drink the navigator and leave us towards the promised land coach, Mike, he's got our back. What are they? They did the same thing with Kraft and it's not fair. Real quick, just one more thing. Well, there's, you know, there's one way to avoid it, Dylan. Yeah, don't do it. Stop running around. Right. Stop lying and cheating. Like it's, it's, this is like, I have no sympathy for Vable and I covered him for a long time and I like him like everybody else. But I've always felt this way. You want to run around. It doesn't make you the worst person in the world. I'm not telling you to throw you in jail or like we're not human. We don't make mistakes, but if you want to run around and you make that bed, then you line it. That's, it's a very simple way not to end up on page six. Exactly. You know, and listen, I've ended up there, but when I have, it's been because of something I've said, it's stupid. It was my fault. So if you want to, I don't know what's page six, but you know what I mean. So you don't want to get photographed canoodling on the roof of a sunset bungalow in Sedona. Then don't canoodle on the roof of a sunset bungalow in Sedona. It's pretty simple. Exactly right. I can almost respect to take that wacky from superpats fans though, that this is the rest of the NFL. Now that we're back, they got to try to find a way to take us up. Oh my gosh. Here we go. Like seriously, here we go. Hey, listen, if they can't beat us on the field, there's only one way to do it. Yeah. Get out the telescopic lens. Yeah, they hate us because they hate us. Watch what you're doing because they're coming for us now. Once again, it's deflated balls. Alex and Vermont. Hi, Alex. Hey, how you doing? She had an incident in Washington with the general manager there in 2015. Yeah, we mentioned it. She did. Yeah. Oh, right on. Yeah, right on. So it's not her first rodeo as they say. Yeah, so look now, now that, you know, that obviously works against her in this story. So you know, we always look back and say, well, what's the history of it? Does a person have a history doing something? Are they not? And in her case, she does. Now she was young. She was single then, I think. I don't think she was married at that point. Now she's married and has a family. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. And the eyes of some people, it wouldn't. The eyes of others, it wouldn't. So I'm not going to argue that one with people because everybody can believe what the hell they want to believe and they're going to no matter what you say. So but yes, that works against her. No question about it. But you guys think you are among the camp if it's not, you know, rival AFC East operatives, you think this was a setup of some kind. I do. Yeah. And Mike, it also was someone was tipped off. Yeah. And it could be as simple as it's someone who is a paparazzi, you know, member of the paparazzi who makes a living doing this and someone says, Hey, you might want to know this and gets a call from someone at the hotel that we get, you know, so we got Vrabel and Racini staying here and they're both married. So you want to make a couple of bucks? Come on over and take a picture. Yeah. It could be someone working the front desk or, you know, a cleaning lady that knows that this again is a known do an hotel and paparazzi has gone in there before and said, You ever see anyone famous? You want to make some extra money? Let us know. I mean, that's how they make a living. Those people. Again, this, um, this hotel is billed as a couple's hotel. And what do you call it, Murray? It's a do an hotel. Again, go to this website. All you got to do is go to this ambiente, A M B I N I E N T E a landscape hotel. And at the bottom, they're, they're racking up how many birthdays they've hosted over 2600 anniversaries, proposals, baby moons, honey moons, baby moons. I could figure out what refresh my memory. What is it? I guess if you're about to have a kid or a baby, you just did and you're, oh, so that's what it is. I think what you have the nice you've conceived. No, no. Well, it could be that too. Yeah, I'll look at it. You know, one is on the way. So let's like have one last, you know, good time before the baby comes. That's what that is. I think. Or is it? I don't know. I don't have kids. I mean, sometimes people have a baby and then, you know, when the child is young, because of the work involved in with an infant, someone comes and takes the kid for a new go away for a week. That's a baby moon. I don't know. I'm asking. But anyway, if you go to this website, relaxing vacation taken by expectant parents usually during the second trimester to reconnect and pamper themselves before the baby around. But either way, the only thing missing from the bottom of this in terms of what they should be racking up are trists in times you're just going there to get done. We've all been there with either what we've gone to these type of hotels. I know you've booked them with your wives or significant others or in the past. We've all booked hotels before they're doing hotel standard in New York. Any double you ever stayed at W. W is a doing hotel. Are you implying Mike for able to not drive four hours round trip through the desert to hang out with a bunch of girls on a hike? Correct. Yes, I am. No, he said he was just hanging out with a bunch of girls who were hiking. You mean you don't drive four hours through the desert to hang out with a bunch of women who are hiking? What a hell that would be. I mean, like I said, that or you can shoot me to the moon. And I don't have to come around the back side. You just shoot me into space left in the dark side of the moon. Honestly, four hours through the desert and then all day with a bunch of women on a hike. Or car car. You can shoot me into space. He believed how many bugs there are out there while we were hiking. Oh, my feet are telling me. Come on, come on, come on. Oh, yeah, no. Let me spend two hours there, two hours on the way back. That's why he went. That's a believable one, Mike. I would have come up with a better one than that. There's a golf course nearby or a casino or something. Right. You went out to hang out with a bunch of girls who are hiking. Stop it. Oh, yeah, no way. Welcome to the ambientee. Casino, air conditioning, bone dancing. The room's available. This team telling you they just can't keep it in their pants. Can they? The Red Sox have gone final and the Bruins have called up their young phenom reaction to both of those and more of the variable stuff if you want. Six one seven seven seven nine zero ninety eight five to you right after this. Hagans is here. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Now more of Belger and Burge on the Sports Hub. Nobody aboard in two down in the top of the ninth inning. And a high fly ball to center. That should wrap it up. Sadon Rafael in. He makes the play in the Red Sox of women and they have taken their first series of the season as they knock off Milwaukee by a final score of five to nothing. More good starting pitching this time on a study grade today. Struggle early on is no question about it. But you end this little homestand and a good no win in a couple games in your first series of the year. And it's all you can really do. Can't worry about the past. You worry about this weekend and go into St. Louis and try to win another series offense did enough pitching was really good last couple nights. Red Sox take two or three from the brew crew. Maz what stood out today. So Sonny Gray I would say is the big one and the way they generated the first three ones runs by giving you an order. Sonny Gray patrol at the beginning and end of the homestand. So they've won two games two games behind crocheted two games behind Gray. Now I thought based on what I saw during obviously during the show here while we were on the air Gray looked pretty good in this game. So I thought he was good. And this is the bigger story really is probably the way they scored runs. I mean they scored a they had a three run inning in which they hit one ball I believe out of the infield. Let me give a tip bottom of the third it's scoreless. And I think what started at all is they actually laid down a sacrifice bond that turned into a single. So they lead off the third again scoreless. I think only one of the runners had reached base. Rafael is single to left and then kind of left. It came up and laid down a bun and it was it wasn't bunting for a single. If I'm if my memory serves it was just a really good bun that Sanchez the catcher then kind of threw away. He missed the first baseman. And that put runners on first and second. Nobody out and the Brewers started this rookie pitcher Drohan who you had sent to them as part of the Durbin trade. So there's an interesting side light there that I'll get back to. But this was a young pitcher. Well he's not that young he's 27 but he was making his major league debut. And now there's runners on first and second. And he got a little rattled. The next batter Roman Anthony grounded out to first. So he moved the runners. It was a productive out. Then there was a walk that loaded the bases and contrast walk to bring in a run. Then there was an infield single that brought in another run. And then there was a sacrifice fly to right. And the next thing you know there's three runs on the board and you kind of scored them in the Brewers fashion. Walk infield single sacrifice sacrifice. That's how you scored your three runs. Yeah totally. It was a complete like manufactured inning. It all started with I think it all started with that. It did. It did. It totally did. And this is sort of the lesson in it. And by the way this is how they're going to have to play because they don't have thunder in the middle of the batting order. You know they have a couple of guys who have some power but they don't have thunder the way like the Yankees do. So they're going to have to put the ball in play make the other team make some plays run the bases smartly and aggressively and then pitch and play defense. So last night's game was three to two. This one the opposition didn't score. This might have been I would say could have been their cleanest game of the year. No errors. Seven hits but I don't know how many extra base hits they had. They didn't hit any home runs. I don't think how many times do they strike out. Let me give it to you in a second. Mass. Stand by please. Six strikeouts which for them is low. OK so more hits than strikeouts six strikeouts. No extra base hits. Unless I'm missing it. I don't think they had an extra base hit. So they had seven hits all singles. Only six strikeouts. The sacrifice got the inning going where they scored the three runs. They stole a base and no errors. Clean. There you go. Yeah clean. That's how they're going to have to play. Yeah. Now can you win a championship doing that. Thank you Jimmy. They drew eight walks. There you go. Yeah. So my my my thing would be you can't. I don't think you can win a championship doing this. But you can beat a lot of teams doing this. And this is kind of what they built. So you have to start here and then see if you can fill in some of the pieces whether it's now in the future or whatever. But four and eight is better than two three and eight three and nine two and ten. This is a this was a big swing game. I would say the last two they just won two games in less than 24 hours. Yeah. And you know crochet did his job last night. I was shaping up. You know that was a good game early on. It was great. Fun pitchers duel. The last two games young Brewer pitchers just ran out of gas. They lost the plate and couldn't regain it. And they had the pitching depth to overcome it. So you really wanted on starting pitching the last two nights. But it was interesting. The Brewer started this draw hand today. That was the third piece they got from you for Caleb Durbin. So we've talked a lot about the Kyle Harrison kid who's off to a good start for the Brewers already one and all with the two six ERA. Hamilton you know you've seen all weekend looks like you know he's a factor for the Brewers factor in that win the other night. And then they threw this draw is his first major league appearance. And I think the Brewers might have been trying to shove it in your face a little bit like if this had gone the other way and this throw hand looked good. And the Brewers had won. You come out of this one saying boy did you get passed on that deal. They're running around with Harrison draw hand and Kyle Hamilton or Dave Hamilton and you're stuck with this Durbin kid hitting one 11 on the season which is what he's hitting on the season. And I don't know if the Brewers overplayed that a little bit or maybe they were just trying to get something out of the draw hand kid. Hey we're going to start you against the team that drafted you and then gave up on you trying to draw a little extra motivation. Sure why not. But it was a thing you know the Brewers tried that they threw that out there and it kind of blew up in their face because the kid wasn't ready as soon as he lost the plate he lost the plate. But so but that had a chance to be quite a swing like if this draw hand one today bloodbath you know what I mean among the fans to sell the team thing. Yes. Bloodbath. So I was important that you won. It's important that this draw hand lost and we'll see where it goes from here. I still don't believe in the Red Sox having a great ceiling. But as you said four and eight sure beats three and nine and now you've won your first series and here you go. Schedule softens if you care now I think it's St. Louis and Minnesota to correct him. You've got it. Toe teams are in complete rebuild mold. Yep. So you're getting some lambs and if you want to climb back into it now's the time to climb back into it. Yeah. Fight your way back to 500. So it's going to take a few series but if you can win the next couple then you within a couple of games. So you know look they're not dead. The question is what are they going to be and you know in the bigger picture but you take them one at a time as the saying goes corny as stupid as that is. Anything else on today. I would say no. No I think you know I mean again I would say based on what I saw was their cleanest game of the year. Just trying to look. Did anybody have more than one hit. Yeah. In this game. Rafael had two. Abreo was two for four. But again unless I'm missing it forgive me if I get in the game was on it and I think I'm in the box score. I don't think they had a single extra base hit. So that's like a that's kind of a template. Are you ready for it. Boston like is not many Red Sox teams in your lifetime. Anyone's lifetime that plays this way. Five runs with no extra base hits. Only seven singles. Eight walks stolen base and a sacrifice that gets the in and going. Are you ready for that. You better be. If you want to win that's what they're going to have to do. OK. Meanwhile breaking Bruins News this afternoon. Here it is with Big Jammerian. We're back with your calls on everything. Don't go anywhere. Boston's best sports talk. You can count on it. To the plus a tool is a fact. Me as an old pop up. Yeah. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. Bruins have called up James Higgins and they weaseled a point last night in Carolina although Jeremy Swamin has hit the skids. That's Mads on Higgins not Swamin hitting the skids. We have Celtics with a finally a game they had to grind out and I think there's a little more value in that win last night for them and these honest rumors to the Celtics just won't go away. That's on the board and the Red Sox win today win a series and look a little bit more how they're going to have to have to look to get it done this season. So all that is on the board back to your phones on everything is promised. Rich and Littleton what do you got on Vrable. Hey guys. Hi Rich go ahead. Good. Hey I can't believe you guys are connecting the dots on all this very well thing. Remember before the Super Bowl he'd said it you cut his junk off. Apparently it hasn't been cut off. It's still in working order. I don't know if it's I can't tell when people are joking or not as you can tell. What does that got to do with connecting. I don't know Tommy and Lynn what do you got to say today Tommy. And what's up boys. This is what I gotta say today. I want to talk about Haggin. I'm glad that he's up here finally Felga. I'm glad we got him. We brought him up here. We finally brought him up here and they did the right move. And now Felga I want to talk about passing it. All right. Yeah. Why is passing it been so brutal out there lately. Huh. Why has he been so brutal to watch Felga. I thought he was a big pass. I'm a big pass and that guy. All right. It's not. It's not. Why is he so lazy lately. I'll tell you why Tommy. I'll tell you why. Because you know what. So they would have told me that fellow Bruins fans and the Bruins themselves are too soft on him. He's not held accountable for how irresponsible he is with the puck. That's why he's allowed to play that way. There's your answer. If the coach or the team and then far less but maybe you but just if the team didn't allow it if they said you know what if you're going to be so careless with the puck you're going to have to sit in certain situations. Maybe he'd get in his head that he can't play that way or should do his should try a little harder to dial it back. But I don't think he's ever held accountable. I don't feel like his ice time ever gets challenged. I don't feel like there's ever pressure put. I never watch Nessan. I never ever. And if it had if it happened please tell me because I don't watch every Nessan post game show or between period show. But I don't see Barry Peterson and Jaffe putting together a little highlight reel of post not giving the puck away. I don't think he's held accountable for how he plays is the long and short of it. So he plays the way he wants to play. And it really hurts the team in a lot of cases. I thought last night he was better. The puck stuck on his stick a little bit better. But that's why he plays the way he plays Tommy's because he's allowed to. Now Hagan's just quickly a pass. He was definitely better last night. He got lucky on the second goal by Geekies. Well, they could have been a goalie interference. No, no, the one before that he was trying to flick the puck around the boards backhanded and he kind of flubbed it and came back to him and then he fed Geekies. So I feel that happens to him a lot. I'm trying to think about I thought the second one, Maaz, the second one was the goalie interference one. The first one was that got Geekie off the Schneid was pass into the slot and he beat the goalie along the post. And I believe the second one Geekie was right on the doorstep, but Pausenach created it coming out of the corner. Right. That was a great play. And then he crashed into the goalie and they let it go. And then the third one Geekie tipped a Zidore off shot. Right. So I'm not sure what you're referring to. I think it was the second Geekie goal. He's going behind the net and he tries to flip the puck into the corner and around, kind of flubbed it and it came back to him and then he passed the Geekie in front. Got it. So he got a little bit of a lucky. You know, I don't think it was designed based on how we flip the puck. He got a little lucky, but he made the play. I'm just not that he plays that way because the team lets him is the answer. Hagen's, I don't know if this is the right move and neither do you. Unless you've been watching him in Providence, unless you've got a keen eye and I don't blame you for the fact that you don't. Do you want to see it? Yeah. Don't you want to get curious? But let me tell you, you don't know. I don't know if he's ready. My guess is he's not ready. My guess is if he were obviously ready, he wouldn't even gone to Providence. They just want to send him straight up or he would have started the year here if he were ready. The reason he wasn't here to start the year and the reason they sent him there in the first place is because he's probably not ready. So all you want is that sugar hive. Oh, we drafted a guy seven. We can put him in the lineup. Wee. And I admit, that's fun. So do I want to see that mass? Sure. I don't hate fun all that much. It doesn't sound like you're into this, but I'm realistic about the thing. I'm telling you, the kid's probably not ready. I think it's obvious he's probably not ready. Just on the just on the pure fact. Listen, the Bruins aren't afraid to start an 18 year old with the big club. Posternak was here at 18 years old the entire year because even though he didn't really show out that year, they felt he was ready for it. And McAvoy was in Providence for like two minutes before they brought him. Didn't he play like only two games or something? Something like that. They had injuries, though. Yeah. But he was clearly physically ready. And then he played really well in that playoffs series against Ottawa. He was ready. They brought up 18 year olds. They took their time with this kid because he's probably not ready. And I'm just and I don't I don't need to like it's just so easy to say, yeah, put him in there. But what if he's not close to being ready? Like, what good is that? Because to me, you at least it's fun to see. Oh, yeah. But it's going to be fun to see what happens. But so. But if you can get over like just wanted that little thing, it might he might not be ready. Yeah, I can't get over that little thing. And here's the other thing. I would like to see him get in against NHL competition before next year rolls around. That's a big one for me. I believe in that. Like, I got get a guy up at the end of the year. He was the seventh pick. Now he might be too small. All that might be true. He had four points in the six games down there. But in retrospect, all on the I think most of them are on the power play. OK, but they could use that because their power play blows. Well, listen, there is use. They can't gain the zone. And set up half the time. You see that power play at the end of the second one. Oh, my God. At the end of the game. Glad you just brought this. So they tie it up. Yeah, five, five. And then they get a power play with like three minutes left. Did you see this thing? Just of the puck going the other way. Bruins players reaching for it with their stick. It is a that thing was a comedy of errors. I mean, people just think about the power play when you're set up in the zone, you can't score. No, no, no, no, no. A big part of the power play is gaining the zone and getting set up in the first place. The Bruins cannot do it most nights. Cannot do it. They blow at it. So I don't know what Higgins is going to do there. But we go ahead. Here comes Higgins. He was drafted seven overall here that all the time, too. So what? Zach Hamill was eighth. He couldn't play. I'll give you any number of guys who were drafted seven who. I'll objectively, objectively suck. Just because he drafts, you drafted him seven, doesn't mean he can play. I also think in retrospect, this thing was a bad job that he agreed to go down for a short period of time with the understanding they were going to bring him up. I agree. There's no compelling reason based on how he played to bring him up. He's not producing five on five. They've kind of, I was saying, it's kind of solidified that playoff spot. They just scored five goals last night. Like all of a sudden you have to have it. No, I think I think it was in the bag. I think you're right. Yeah, I think it was part of the deal. My guess is that they had made it clear from the time he got drafted. They wanted to play by the end of the year so that he burned his first year and could get to free agency quicker. And the Bruins are probably, you know, probably didn't put up much of a fight because these kids now in that league have more power than ever to put the squeeze on teams and get to the NHL. So he might be early. I still want to see him. Jason and Brooklyn on Vrabel. Yes, Jason. Jason, half of you guys aren't ready to go. Ryan in the car. Go ahead, Ryan. I don't love the news after like having such a great year. But I mean, after seeing and reading and like watching the pictures and everything, unless you're more and I wouldn't be surprised if he was going to that doing hotel with Diana plus one of her hotel friends. I mean, who knows? So you think it was a little threesome action? It was it was multiples. Hello, caller. Oh, you don't know. No, that's Jason and Brooklyn. Are you there, Jason? No, so I don't know where you get the threesome from. But this I imagination, this I do believe. The man is not driving four hours through the desert to hang out with a bunch of girlfriends who are on a hiking trip. No way. Just because he wants to hang out by the pool with the girls who are on a hiking trip. That's the one that makes zero. He had to come up with a better one than that. That one, that one made me chuckle because nothing more than I want to do than drive four hours through the desert to hang out with the friends because Lord knows those friends are. Oh, what a nightmare that would be after a day. Oh, my God, a hike was so hot in the bugs on the bugs. Mike, you should have saw the bugs. And there is these scary lizards and snakes and everything. Yeah, tell me what should I get? I don't know. I'd like to get a margarita. But should I get rocks or a salt? I don't know. Can you tell me what kind of a margarita I can. For eight hours, you have mimosas or do you have Bellini's? I was maybe thinking of peach Bellini. Do you want do you want some peach Bellini girls? Or do you want to do Marx? Do we want to do Marx? Do you want to get spicy Marx? Did they do the salt on the rim? Oh, you know, let me drive two hours there for that. Two hours on the way back. Four hours of a beer for a day of that. I drive off the road from if I did do it, I drive off the road from exhaustion on the way back. I drive into a cactus and just end it versus have to do that. Anything other than that? Have you ever actually hit it? I mean, like stepped into a cactus or anything. It's not it's not fun. I can't imagine that it is. It's spiky. It is. I did it on the golf course. It's not fun. This is another Maz aside. We have to flush out a little bit. Since you mentioned it, I thought I'd slip. Yeah, all I'm saying is the man to not drive four hours round trip through the desert to hang out with the gals. That's not your football coach. Have you met Patrick Mahomes? What's he like? Have you met Gronk? Gronk's so handsome. Were you like Gronk when you played? Didn't you catch touchdowns? Oh, you know, I'd be I'd want to be around that all the long commercial free segment comes your way next. I want to get to the gossip. Everything you said is right. Kind of for Lefa dropping down a bunch. What is the walkie base ball? The captain's rose off line and a great play there. Just to make sure that didn't get by. Sometimes you get rewarded by playing again the right way. We talked about it the other day with the Brewers. This is an absolutely beautiful punt. He degons this thing, makes Sanchez go all the way. And again, and he goes in. He's looking for sometimes doesn't matter. Put the pressure on the defense. Vases loaded and the three two. And inside ball four and the Red Sox have the lead. That'll force in Seydan Raffiella. Contreras continues to get it done. That'll be his fifth RBI and the Red Sox lead and one nothing. That'll skip off of Hamilton right to the shortstop through the first. Not in time to run scores. It's this ball hard, doesn't he? Right to Hamilton who tries to pick it. Couldn't come up with it or tease. Tried to make this play, but this is the progression of. The William Ray just against the left. You know, hitting the ball hard, not going to get him. RBI single and now Trevor Storie. Swing a high twisting fly into right field. Coming on free. Like coming on to make the catch. Tagging up. Here comes the runner and another one is in. Monastereal score three to nothing. Seven hits all singles. No extra base hits on the day. Eight walks. They scored three in the whatever that was the third to break it open on the benefit in the back of while we really got started with a sacrifice, but that turned into a single. That led to the Brewers. Rookie pitcher kind of imploding. That's it. There it is. Can they do that? Can they maintain that? Can they be that kind of team? I mean, you know, if you want to look at the last few games, they had the lead against the Padres four zip and they blew the game. They wanted to get or the game they lost against the Brewers. They were up three on blew that game. So, you know, had they just done what they were supposed to do, which is catch the ball, throw the ball, you know, et cetera. And they could have, you know, what's that? What would that be now? Six wins? I mean, if they just you're up three, oh, four, oh, you're expected to win those games and they they imploded. So the but the problem is going to be whether or not they can do it consistently. I don't believe in their defense and I'm not sure I believe in the rotation one to five. So we'll see how that shakes out. They're not probably not going to score a lot. And I'm not sure they're going to catch it a lot. Back to your phones on everything. Andrew and Winthrop on the James Hagan's signing by the Bruins. Yes, Andrew. Hi, I like to think that Mako has done more for this team than anybody else this year. Right. Remember where we were? OK. Mako didn't want Hagan's up. So we need one in him up all the time. I think it's a bad move. I think they should have called up fortress. I mean, Hagan's could really use some time in the miners. Let's not forget what school you went to. Goat areas. Thank you. So I'm taking my B.C. bias out of it. I honestly. It's just a it's just it's a fan thing. You drafted him something. Let's see him start the quarterback right away. Bring the kid up. Put him in there. It's just a knee jerk fan thing. It's because it's fun like I get it. I I I I I don't care for fun myself. But I can recognize that you can have fun with that approach. I get it. But more than that, the guys aren't ready. So I don't do it just to do it. And that's I wonder if the Bruins are doing it just to do it or. They gave Hagan's a word. He'd get up here. Burn the year. And they waited for so long because he wasn't ready. But they have to have now that the playoffs are kind of secured. We'll throw him in there. But if I had to guess he's going to play and you're going to see that he ain't ready. That's probably what's going to happen. I mean, I mean, on that part, I would agree. I do. I'd be willing to bet, though, that look, I'm just going by what Ty and McBride and all those guys were saying that most of these guys now come up and play almost right away. And so, you know, this is what the players are demanding. And Ty remembers the names. And I'm sure the majority might remember, too. And I'm sorry, Ma's, they're doing that because of the business part of it. That the players and their agents are insisting on this. Right. And the and the teams are giving in. It's not necessarily that they're quote unquote ready. No, correct. Yeah. So yeah, no, the players are pushing the envelope. There were a couple of guys that Ty was saying, I don't remember the names. They say maybe majority does a couple of guys who put the pressure on the team and the team said, we're not going to bring up. And they said, get me out of here. Yeah. And they started issuing ultimatums. So the players have more power now they want to play. So bring them up. Here's DJ and Lawrence on Vrable. Yes, DJ. I'm just disappointed with all the talent. You can't even head into the desert and shack up with some mid big forehead reporter anymore. I'm not going to allow you to besmirch Diana Rossini. Who are you? Brad Pitt. Yeah, exactly. Right. George Clooney on the phone here. Like, who are you to diminish someone else's looks? I had to guess you run about 280 and lacking hair would be my guess. You guys got cactus for hair. Like, I love it. When we sit around, she's not that hot. Yeah, OK, OK. Burt Reynolds over there. Joe in the car on James Hagan's. Yes, Joe. There's a couple things I'm not sure why I went Burt Reynolds. I was just trying to think of a sex symbol. Yeah, yeah, I would have gone like, you know, again, Brad Pitt would have been fine. Joe in the car. Go ahead, Joe. Clooney. You're good. You're good. Yeah, she's beautiful. Anyhoo, Hagan's like, could he not be another tie? I say you can come in helping out the team. Swamin kind of if you on him and then how come the Red Sox and the Celtics with the same old story, they just get repeated. He's talked about over and over the same old story. OK, again, Stephen Wright on the phone. I'm lying to go ahead. I'm really excited about the Browns bringing up James Hagan's. He seems like he could be fast like Tyler Sagan. Just not a lot of energy for no problem. That's very much like Stephen Wright. OK, so here's another reason I'm lary of James Hagan's and there's nothing to do with him. It's not his fault. I don't know if we've fully been satisfied with any top 10 pick. Maybe they've ever had. And again, I'm hesitating because I maybe I'm missing some. But let me just give you their last, however many top 10 picks. I'll just go back through history and stop, you know, just stop when we go too far back. This should be pretty good. Actually, go the last time they had a top 10 pick was 2011. Doug Hamilton. No, nope. I do not feel good about him as a top 10 pick. The year before Tyler Sagan. Number two, that's a hit. No. I mean, so listen, I didn't say hit or miss. I didn't say bust. I just said, yeah, we got that guy. I never felt that way about Sagan. He would throw him in there at the cup year and he contributed one game. So you got Tampa shot out of hell in game two of that East final against Tampa. Six of five. And then other than that, he kind of receded and overall, he's had a good career. You want to talk about, yeah, someone likes doing on the doing scale. Yeah, he had more prolific off the ice than on the ice. Sorry, Tyler Sagan. Nope. If I have the number two overall pick, I want more than Tyler Sagan. Before that, Zach Hamill. No, God, no. Before that, Phil Kessel. No, he was OK here. He was OK here. Yeah. And then you flipped him for a great return, which brought you Sagan and Doug Hamilton. Yeah, I'm sorry. No. If I'm drafted and Kessel was five overall. No, how many goals is a Kessel score in his career? Don't have it in front of me. In multiple 30 goal seasons. Neat. Neat. See, but some of the way, just quickly, I want champions. I know you want everyone to be gritsky or Sydney. No, no, no, no, no, champions. OK, but Phil Kessel won championships. Multiple three. Yeah, once he started attaching himself to Sydney Crosby's sack. OK, but why does everybody have to be Sydney Crosby? You don't have to be Sydney Crosby. Can you beat Patrice Bergeron? Can you just get a good player? I hated Phil Kessel. OK, but again, 400 goals in the league. Year 2000, you're the seventh overall pick. Does anyone remember the name Lars Jonsson? No, no, defenseman, I think, wasn't he? Well, then maybe you do, Mass, because he was a defenseman. Joe Thornton. Yeah, that is good. That's a good meal. Out. Bust. OK, so if you're going to throw him, I'll know what's the point. He's not a boss, but he never won. OK, but how much of that is the Bruins fault? Not because he went to San Jose and won exactly the same amount as he won in Boston. OK, he's a Hall of Famer, though. Donky do. But he's one of the great losers in the history of pro sports. So you don't want to pick in the top 10. I don't want to lose her. You don't want to pick in the top 10. I'm just telling you, none of these guys juice me. Sergei Samsonoff was the eighth overall pick that year. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I almost liked him better than Joe. Oh, come on. The year before that. We got a juice. Yeah, they had the eighth overall pick. Jonathan Aitken, anyone? No, no. The year before that, the ninth overall pick. Kyle McLaren. No. I liked him, but he was OK. He's higher on this list than most of you would have. Glenn Wesley, number three overall, 1987. So the player. Pretty good. No, I loved his work on the backhand with the net wide open in that overtime against Edmonton. So there was that. Remember that one? Oh, of course. This is most famous play as a Bruin. The only one I remember. The decent player, though. This is like me with quarterbacks. Yeah, it is. Yeah, that's a good analogy. Gordon Cluzac in 82. Not his fault. Listen to the tone. I don't like any of these guys. OK, here's one. Fine. Ray Bork, 1979, eighth overall. Ray Bork. Yep. Go back 50 years. I don't know. You feel good about Phil Kessel. You would do that all over again and take Phil F. and Kessel. OK, but again, that fat dump. OK, I'm not telling you, I like the player. He was a legit NHL player for a long time. He scored over 400 goals and Sagan has almost 400. You can have Sagan and Kessel. Never want a damn thing for and I know Kessel did. I'm told you're part of the problem in all those years. He kind of inserted himself into another situation. The Bruins culture all those years. Anyone who was a skill player that wouldn't fight and stick his nose in the corner is a guy that had to be traded because the Bruins wouldn't have it otherwise. Let me just the feel that dumb. I believe Phil Kessel is the consecutive games played streak. We team motto back then was stupid and slow. I can't wait for the tone to come in on James Hagen. Bruins lucky, slow and stupid. He had two goals against the lightning, but. We're tough. We're tough. I could have scored him off somebody's ass. Oh, no, you got Phil Kessel. You don't like that. You're just doing this. No, he had a good career. Back in the tapes when I got here in 2011. I've always been a Kessel guy. He was a fat dump. Phil was really was fat. Don't give me that. Let's see. Put the puck in the back of the net. But oh, oh, no, he doesn't play in his own zone. Can't have that here yet. You can have Michael Ryder. We didn't juice me. It's my type of guy. Did I say that? You did. I'm trying to see who there's no one else. I can't tell you that they drafted the wrong guy in Phil Kessel. Thank you. The next few guys off the board, Derek Brassard to Columbus, Kyle Acoposo, Wiggy's guy to the Islanders, Peter Muller to the Phoenix Coyotes, James Shepherd to Minnesota, Michael Frolic, look at 22 to Florida. Question. Huh? Claude Giroux to the Flyers at 20. Yeah. So like, I don't know. He hasn't won either, I don't think. But either way, I'm just prepared to be disappointed on James Haggins. I am call me defeatist or whatever. Defeatist. I think the kid, the kid's going to suck. And I, you know what? And I'll be on. This is worse than Maz and who's the ball player from me? Oh, oh, I'm a good player who watched him for two minutes on YouTube and said this kid doesn't have it. I haven't watched that on James. And I've watched no, I've watched zero James zero, zero. I never saw my PC. I didn't watch him at all in Providence. I haven't even seen a clip. I swear to God, I've not seen one clip ever of James Haggins. But you heard it here first. That kid's going to suck. 90 seconds, no commercials. I'm all right.
