00:00Well, you're a bray you continuing his hotness his hot streak to open the season single-handedly won them a game in
00:06Texas the only game they won at that point in Texas and then helped them with the sweep yesterday and it's led to this whole
00:14conversation with high and blooms cardinals in town and the trade he made that brought in will your a bray you and all it's
00:21Like well, some of these young guys are his yeah
00:24No one said he left the Red Sox with absolutely nothing
00:28But are we suddenly gonna say he shouldn't have been fired or he deserved more time to enact the plan or would he
00:35Have enacted the plan if he were still the GM of the Boston Red Sox or president of baseball operations
00:41Whatever the title is would they have gotten crochet with because one of the questions about him was
00:45Willingness to pull off deals to pull
00:48To pull off deals when it came down to with Chris sale and others. So I
00:54Don't he gets the credit he deserves just like Bill Parcells gets the credit
00:59He deserves for Bill Belichick's Patriots or any of these look a G
01:03Did Danny Ainge is he the only reason the Celtics won a title because he certainly brought you Brown and Tatum like, okay
01:10The previous GM didn't leave the cupboard completely bare in most situations
01:15He left you with something to start from build on add on and Craig Breslow has done a nice job with that
01:21Some of that is the young players. Some of that is a guy like William Abreu
01:24But no, the short answer is no high in bloom does not deserve more credit for the Boston Red Sox right now
01:30Yeah
01:30but I feel like the reason why some people wonder aloud if he does is because
01:35He's so often derided and the bloom era is looked upon with such disdain
01:39But that's because the guy was in charge of the team during the kovat era when the when uncle Ron renegades
01:47Red Sox were just an absolute clown show
01:49the first this first order of business when he gets to town is he has to trade mookie bets and the best he gets for
01:56It is dimes on the dollar and I guess that's being kind to him and a couple times at the all-star break or just shortly
02:03thereafter by the trade deadline
02:06Heim bloom was hesitant Danny Ainge style to pull the trigger and move some pieces for the necessary components
02:12The team believed it needed to win. So I see why people are harsh on him
02:16but if you want to go through the long litany of GM's from Dan Duquette up to now none of them get the credit they
02:22Deserve because there's recency bias and what have you done for me lately attitude from fans in the baseball media?
02:28So I get it
02:29but I think I think we need to look upon the Heim bloom era a little more favorably just because of
02:35Three months of Vasquez for William Abreu. Holy smokes deal of the century
02:40Well, and that was one of my trades that I used as an example last year and it was like you got to make deals
02:45at the deadline because you never know what you're gonna get out of it and you're
02:49floundering
02:50Move on trade in a piece for a younger piece because William Abreu it became evident pretty quickly
02:56Oh, you got something out of this trade you made out on the better end of this trade
03:00So the more actually the more often you do that the more you increase your chances of getting pieces like that
03:06But in general
03:06No
03:07The guy who deserves credit is almost always the current guy who puts it over the top who decides what to keep what to move
03:13On from like, you know
03:16Would Heim bloom have traded Kyle teal for crochet in that deal or would have been probably I drafted him
03:23I want to keep him who's gonna be our backup catcher our catcher of the future
03:26Like he would have overthought it over analyzed it and crocheted be pitching for somebody else right now
03:30So no, I'm giving Breslau and obviously by extension John Henry for what he's done in terms of spending money
03:37I'm giving those guys the credit Heim bloom performed for a period of time. He did have to fall on the Mookie bet sword
03:44That's the reality. He took the job
03:46That was he knew it when he when he took the job if he didn't want to do that
03:49He shouldn't have taken the job because that came with that was literally in the you know job description
03:55Trade best player see what you can get. That was a bullet point
03:59He knew it he did it and he'll have to live with that. But now I wish him well in his future endeavors in st
04:05Louis they got a good young team funny thing is they're already talking about
04:09The Cardinals having to do with the Red Sox have done
04:12this is a weird world for me to live in last night in the broadcast they were like Cardinals got a lot of good young
04:16talent and
04:17They haven't started to do like the Red Sox and lock up the good young talent to give themselves a foundation for the future
04:24When did all this happen, when did we stop bitching about the Red Sox because they don't sign anybody and they don't become the model
04:30Franchise, yeah, exactly. Yeah, all of a sudden. There's a quick narrative shift all of a sudden. We're the gold standard now
04:36It's so strange, but it's also enjoyable. So we're gonna enjoy it here at Fenway Park today
04:41Bluejays in town start another series see if the Red Sox can stay
04:45Undefeated at home the Celtics let me down and lost a ton of games at home when I thought they might go undefeated at TD
04:51Garden the Red Sox could still go undefeated at Fenway Park. We'll see if that continues tonight
