Justin LadaHOST
We'll see what the other ones do as far as Cantillo, but if you just shrink the pitching staffs down to the guys that I think are gonna pitch the most innings in this series, I like Cleveland's pitching a lot better.
Justin LadaHOST
Um, unfortunately I think for the Guardians is like [laughs] it, a lot of the series might ride on David Fry because of how many lefties the White Sox carry.
Justin LadaHOST
That's my biggest worry is like, White Sox carrying Smith and Schultz and Hudson and Newcombe and Anthony Kay if he pitches out of the bullpen.
Justin LadaHOST
Like, I think that's what it's gonna come down to.
Luke GableHOST
And Fry was really good, like...
Luke GableHOST
Not all-star David Fry, but Fry was giving you enough that last few weeks of the season as a right-handed bat, hit some really timely home runs, some really timely big hits.
Luke GableHOST
And a guy who, as we've seen in the past, comes up in the big moments, especially in the postseason, that pretty historical run he had in 2024 with the big home run in Detroit to prolong that series.
Luke GableHOST
Guardians down in the seventh inning.
Luke GableHOST
To give them the lead, they win that one, bring it back home to Cleveland.
Luke GableHOST
And then you see him in the Yankees series, hits the walk-off to bring that big win after the John Kenzie Noel home run.
Luke GableHOST
So we've seen David Fry come up in these big moments before, so I think he fits the role of what you want there.
Luke GableHOST
He also has some versatility.
Justin LadaHOST
You gotta hit the home run.
Justin LadaHOST
Like, who on the bench is gonna hit a homer? Like, maybe David Fry.
Justin LadaHOST
There's a chance Manzardo could, but they... you know, him and Rhys Hoskins haven't faced a Major League pitch-
Jeff EllisHOST
Rh- Rhys Hoskins is, is on the disabled list due to being old.
Terry PlutoGUEST
there to go with Hedges.
Terry PlutoGUEST
Then they turned around and they sent David Fry, who the, I mean, GM, manager, coaches, teammates, they love David Fry.
Terry PlutoGUEST
But Fry wasn't hitting, sent him to the minors.
Terry PlutoGUEST
I'm going to mention they sent Manzaro to the minors.
Mike MahoneyGUEST
How mad would you be? They're not going to hit Josh Hader well, are they? No one hits Josh Hader well, and that's fine, but you have to hit one of the blokes in their bullpen or one of the blokes in their rotation that's not Hunter Brown.
Quincy WheelerHOST
Can't you see David Frye hitting a home run off Josh Hader? I think so.
Mike MahoneyGUEST
I guess it's
Quincy WheelerHOST
randomly.
Justin LadaHOST
And then Da...
Justin LadaHOST
I mean, but in that game, David Fry had a home run and, you know, he hasn't been very good a lot of times-
Jeff EllisHOST
No
Justin LadaHOST

Jeff EllisHOST
wayYeah, and when I was talking about, like, just who's been excelling, like, that was the timeline I was using is that, uh, August 20th, where it's like, you know, Kwan, DeLauder, Bailey, Bazan, and Martinez are between 140 and, you know, 167.
Jeff EllisHOST
Like, just 40 to 60% above league average.
Jeff EllisHOST
And then you got, as much as I do bag on David Fry, you know what, a 124 during that time, 24% better than league average.
Jeff EllisHOST
Rocchio, 116, about 16% above league average.
Davey BarrisHOST
It does not matter.
Davey BarrisHOST
Can you get a big hit in the playoffs? David Fry, definitely not the season he wanted, was sent down to the minor leagues at one point.
Davey BarrisHOST
He has a big homer in this final series.
Davey BarrisHOST
Can he come through off a left-handed pitcher and give us a big home run? I believe this is Joe Adele's first playoff appearance ever.
5 MINS LATER
Davey BarrisHOST
It brings in Bobby Witt to score again.
Davey BarrisHOST
So now it's 5-4 Royals.
Davey BarrisHOST
Here comes David Frye.
Davey BarrisHOST
Here's the big David Frye moment.
T.J. ZuppeHOST
7th in Major League Baseball offensively from their catchers.
T.J. ZuppeHOST
Their combination, which I don't know if David Fry would have fit into this category at that point, but more than likely it is all Patrick Bailey and Austin Hedges.
T.J. ZuppeHOST
That is absolutely incredible.
T.J. ZuppeHOST
And credit to them.
Tom HamiltonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
If that ball isn't deflected off the glove of Toley and changed directions, then it goes up the middle, and Monasterio, the second baseman, would have had a play.
Tom HamiltonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
but that deflection fortuitous for Cleveland and give David Fry his 18th RBI.
Jim RosenhausHOST
Later on in the inning, the Guardians scored one more on a double play ball to make it 2-0, and then Boston got one of those runs back in the bottom of the second to make it a 2-1 Guardians lead.
Jim RosenhausHOST
That would be it for scoring for a while thanks to another terrific outing from starting pitcher, the rookie, Parker Messick.
10 MINS LATER
Jim RosenhausHOST
Once again, the Royals responded in the bottom of the inning, scoring twice, and all of a sudden they had the lead at 5-4.
Jim RosenhausHOST
But in the fifth, it was the Guardians' turn to answer.
Jim RosenhausHOST
Joe Adele led off with a double, and then David Fry stepped in.
Jim RosenhausHOST
Here's the 1-0, swung on,
