Chapter 2: What are the implications of the Red Sox firing their entire coaching staff?
Strike three.
I don't think so.
Base at the middle. No. No. Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball presented by Fanatics Markets where fans trade on sports. Fanatics Markets available now on the App Store. I am Jake Storielli. That is Trevor Plouffe. We're talking ball. Rob Scirocco producing, Dalton Feely with all of the information.
And there's a lot of information to go through because a corny line that I think I created and I'm keeping is that sports are the best reality TV show ever.
Chapter 3: How is the Red Sox organization perceived in terms of market size?
You just need to know the characters and play and all the involvement. And like, I don't know, reality TV is kind of you're playing for money and stuff like that. That's literally what's kind of happening on the athletic fields. And we had an all-timer this weekend. The Red Sox stealing the show with the Red Wedding or whatever we want to call it.
that we're going to talk about that a lot this episode.
Chapter 4: What changes are expected with John Henry's involvement?
So that's going to take up a chunk of your team might not get hit fully today. And then, I don't know, I'm half expecting that while we're recording this, there might be some news about Mendoza maybe having to look for a different job opportunity. So with that, Coach Trev, getting nasty in Calabasas.
Couple things. Phillies stink too. We just can't forget that. Stink? Like Phillies stink too. So like we keep mentioning the Mets. Alex Cora, great. The Phillies stink too. And this is my org. I'm a Philly guy.
Chapter 5: How do recent performances impact the outlook for the Red Sox?
Everybody knows that. Yeah. But that's my number one point or one of my number one points. Number two, Demetri Young, Demet Hook, 789 OPS against lefties. So don't think he's just going to strike out against Chris Sale.
How many of them were Chris Sale?
Also, I told you before the show, I had two ducks in my yard. They've been coming in my pool lately. Same two ducks.
Cute.
The reason I chose Demetri Young as my hitter this morning is He had a similar thing happen to him in his pool, and then he started to feed these ducks. Before he knew it, he had like 30 ducks in the pool. So don't feed the ducks.
Unless you want that. I don't know.
You don't want 30 ducks in your pool.
It's disgusting. I don't think you want that. One of my buddy's significant other just kind of tricked him into getting a duck. I don't know. They seem happy.
As a pet?

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the Red Sox firing their coaching staff?
The Mets shook it up, dude. The Mets shook it up a lot. The Mets shook. They shook it up and opened the can right away. That's what happened. You can't do that, Mets. Let it settle a little bit.
Shaking cans over there? Psst. And, dude, this is where it's so funny, and this is where I almost get nervous talking ball sometimes because I just mentioned I quote-unquote like what the Giants are doing. They're 13 and 15. They're going to Philadelphia.
Chapter 7: How does team performance impact player morale and coaching decisions?
And, like, what is it? It's Lizardo, Sanchez, and Painter. Like, we could very well be here on Friday and being like, whoo. Phillies allowed zero earned runs over 19 innings. But you have to do that at some point. And also, where baseball can be sick is, okay, if the Giants break Lizardo or Sanchez and they see young Andrew Painter out there, they could be saying, all right, this is how we win.
So, I don't know. I... I want the Mets or Phillies to get back in the mix.
Chapter 8: What trends are emerging among struggling batters this season?
If there could be a June episode where it's like, did you know the Phillies are 500 again? That's when you can really start getting the juices going, and there's still time for that. We didn't really see that happen last year. The Braves got buried, and we were kind of like, are they going to go? Two years ago, Houston dug a nasty hole, and they worked their way out of it.
So that's where April, there's still like a... Yeah. There's still hope. There's still hope.
There is still hope, but, you know, the hour is getting late, as one would say.

The Mets, I don't know how much time you want to spend on them. This is one thing I will say. It's been a disaster. There's no doubt about that. But not having your two best players in the lineup at the same time will kind of do that to you. whether they like each other or not. It seems like they're like, oh, you're here? I'm out of here. That's not what's happening, people.
But I'll give them a little bit of a break for that. Although, again, as you mentioned, Carlos Mendoza, jolly, jolly Olive, who said they were going to win the NL East this year. They got me all fired up. He called for Mendoza's head last night.
The vibes couldn't possibly be worse. Like, the Red Sox look like a party compared to the Mets right now. And, Trev, I'm not doing this to twist your own words, but, you know, you mentioned the Phillies might have the worst offense in baseball by a little bit. The Mets are 30th in on base, 30th in OPS, 26th in homers. So it's kind of just like...
