Caleb Durbin

But there were too many other variables in there to put it all on that.

First of all, let's start with Caleb Durbin, who at that time, if you remember, became really the face of the Red Sox turnaround.

Caleb Durbin's season spun.

He completely went from one of the worst players in baseball on the verge of being sent to the minor leagues to one of the better players at his position, an amazing turnaround.

And Caleb Durbin went outside the organization completely.

for hitting advice that saved his season.

So in other words, if the message that Craig Breslow and the coaching staff is being more well-received by the players, why did Caleb Durbin have to go outside the organization? And the answer is because he didn't believe in the organization.

Further, Julian McWilliams, whom we had on, and I played it for you, we had him on a couple of weeks ago.

This was a prospect for prospect trade with Washington.

He gave up Luis Pirellas, but got Bennett, who proved a capable starter for them, and in a trade that initially didn't look so great, but now looks a lot better with Milwaukee, He acquired Caleb Durbin.

I always call him Chad, but it's Caleb Durbin and Andrew Monasterio, along with Anthony Sigler.

Now, Monasterio and Sigler kind of were big players and are big players, but they proved valuable as the Red Sox had their second half surge.

And of course, Durbin, after a terrible start, has proven to be quite capable offensively and defensively at third base.

He's gonna be out for this series as well, unless if something unforeseen happens.

But Caleb Durbin ever since June first, he's been hitting above a 275.

You've been able to have someone like Nick Sogard be able to give you a 340 on base, and both of these bullpens have been very rock solid.

For the Red Sox, top three team in terms of opening rate overall for the season.

It's also pretty clear that in game one, the Yankees are almost definitely, definitely, I don't even think it's an almost, going with their number one pitcher, their probable Cy Young winner in Cam Schlittler, who has kind of been crushing the Boston Red Sox.

Since that last wildcard game you played in, there was one game where Caleb Durbin got to him a little bit.

But outside of that, Cam Schlittler has a sub one ERA against the Red Sox in the regular season.

And obviously his last outing against him in the postseason was one of the grossest outings we've ever seen against the Boston Red Sox.

Wilson Contreras crushes lefties.

Caleb Durbin, actually above average against lefties as well.

And bullpen edge, you know, everyone talks about the...

Guardians bullpen for years and years and years.

Jaron Duran and too much Roman Anthony in that video.

When I watch it, I want a little more Caleb Durbin.

Well, I asked him Siegler.

I want some

Further, Julian McWilliams, whom we had on and I played it for you.

Because of, I hate to say this.

That one was because of Caleb Durbin.

No offense meant this isn't like cut him, but that was, he had like one of the worst things that I have ever seen someone have just on both ends of the game.

Listen, he's really had such an interesting season.

So go the Red Sox because he's playing well.

The team has been losing.

So I think that the title of that goes to, it has been passed on to Caleb Durbin.

I truly believe that.
