Video Transcript
You know, the other, the other th the other game tonight, you mentioned it earlier, I didn't realize this, Joe, because I'm, as we're doing this I'm sort of just watching previews too of, of the games- Mm-hmm coming up to talk about, is that I didn't realize that Freddy Peralta, his first two starts for Tampa, is this right, Colorado and t- and, and, and Sacramento?
He's gotta go to those two places- Correct for his first two starts.
That's correct.
That's horrible.
Yep.
Yep.
That's horrible.
Not good.
That's not fair.
Not good.
He's not gonna pitch well there tonight.
And he got lit up in Colorado.
No.
I don't think he's gonna pitch well- And he got lit up- in, in, Sacramento tonight.
Yeah.
That's kinda why I'm thinking here.
I'm looking to get gonna get runs.
Of course we're gonna get runs.
Listen, Lopez has not been great either.
You know, Tampa just played a whole bunch of two runs, three runs, four run games there with, against Seattle.
Now they get to go to this launch pad here.
But still not seeing 10 and a half, 11, 11 and a halves here.
Only seeing 10.
I, I re- I don't know.
Are we giving Peralta too much credit here?
And I, I hate the fact that the Athletics had to fly back home across country from Boston after winning the last two games of that series, and Tampa's sitting there waiting.
But, I If you're expecting Peralta to lay a buck 60- I'm not I don't know that I can do that either.
I, I can't do that.
Right?
I, I may- No I may do the pl- I may do the plus one and a half side with the A's tonight.
Maybe that, that, that record.
I don't- I like where you're going.
Yeah, maybe that.
I would- 'Cause I don't know about winning the game outright and, and how could they close out a game when the A's are 47 and 71, man.
Like, I can't do that.
Tampa playing well.
Yeah.
But yeah, this, this is, you know, this could be one of those seven to four games, you know?
Like- Yes e- either way, I just, I, I, I, I, I, I think Tampa's gonna get Peralta right eventually, but this is, this is, outside of Colorado, the worst environment to pitch in.
And the A's pitchers, by the way, have been getting smashed as well.
Lopez ERA I think is, like, pushing six.
Yep.
Yeah.
And once that bullpen gets involved it's even, worse.
Which again, which was shocking, that they ended up taking, the final two games of that, Red Sox series here.
Yeah.
In that one.
