[chuckles]

No, I hadn't even thought about that, but it, it, you know, it is really cool.

And like you said, that's, that was the last place where he won, you know, the Wor- won the World Series then, and just such a good, such an awesome tribute.

And I mean, pitching did kind of nail this down, you know, in the name of Don Cooper.

I mean, the way that bullpen really battled back after facing a little bit of adversity there.

Um, but you know, after, after Brazoban, you know, had a couple hiccups.

He got a couple outs at least, but then you get K-KN to shut things down.

Sorry, Mike.

Easy out, but...

You guys already know my thoughts on Drew Thorpe.

I, I've written, I've talked about him on this podcast, I've talked about him on Twitter, wrote an article about it.

I, I have a lot to say about Drew Thorpe.

I do personally think that they should be getting him and honestly consider, considering how good David Sandlin, I know he was mentioned in the chat as well.

He's been lights out his last couple starts in Triple-A.

He's starting to kind of push for maybe he should be getting another look as well in the majors.

But whether it's Hagen Smith or Grant Taylor, just give it to the hot hand, is really the way that I see it.

Why is drew Thorpe number one?

If he was eligible, he would be number one.

No, I'm kidding.

No surprise to anyone, Rock Chulowski is the number one prospect in that updated top 30 that is out on the site.

You can find it at saxon35th.com. Yeah, there was a lot of movement in this iteration.

Had a lot of graduations, had...

I believe eight of our draft picks actually cracked the top 30 this time around, along with three that were dropped in our honorable mentions.

But now that it's actually happening, how do you feel about it? And how do you feel about the fact that it's center and not left or right that they're starting him in?

Do you feel like that's a detriment to the Sox at all in terms of where they stand right now, or do you still feel like, hey, they can still put together competitive packages for the deadline?

I mean, they've got some names that are some guys that are that kind of fit that demographic.

But if that is what sellers are looking for, then that does kind of put us a little bit behind.

You know, we like recently we've been doing a little bit better at drafting, you know, guys out of high school and like We just completely overhauled our international scouting system.

David Keller running it now, but we've already had several international classes in place before he even took that job.

So we're still a little bit behind in that department.

There's been a few breakout guys in the Dominican Summer League, but those are all...

And do you think there's any potential to leverage some of their veteran arms as trade chipset?

That's just my two cents.

I'm actually 100% with you, Nick.

Um, I-- It just seems like every day it looks like they have a different plan for him.

You know, like the other day he was the closer.

Some days he is a multi-inning type of guy.

So they bring him in in the fifth inning, and sometimes they bring him in the seventh inning because that's where the leverage would dictate, that's where the heart of the order is.

Sometimes they have him as an opener.

Can we start with that before we even talk about the rest of it? [chuckles]
