00:00This is my question about Garrett Crochet to get back on topic here.
00:04The question with Crochet is, does he know this team blows
00:07and it doesn't make sense for him to get back out on the mound
00:09and start throwing right now when he could get to 100% health physically
00:15before he picks up a baseball again?
00:18It's not a terrible idea.
00:20I don't blame him if he's feeling that way.
00:23But as you say, it's contagious on a bad team.
00:27It's called being in a tank.
00:29Is his lat feeling a little more tight given that he watches this team every night
00:33and thinks to himself, why would I jeopardize future health or re-injury for this team?
00:39This doesn't make any sense for me or the team moving forward.
00:43I remember we were 0-7 at Arizona Parcells, and that's when he snapped at halftime.
00:47When are you guys going to stop being one of the losers?
00:49He goes, this guy's nicked, this guy's hurt, this guy's in the tub.
00:53Get hurt in your own damn time.
00:55You want to be a football team? Be a football team.
00:57But you're a bunch of losers right now.
00:59Nobody wants to play.
01:01And it resonated, and it changed after that.
01:05Because we were used to losing.
01:07And everything hurts.
01:09There's no Bill Parcells at Fenway, though.
01:12It doesn't explain away, though, why they're on different pages still.
01:15It's different.
01:16I mean, I don't mean it that way because it's football versus baseball.
01:20But, like, I know former players I've talked to that played baseball said they don't make them like they used
01:26to.
01:27And Ortiz and Pedroia and guys like Trott Nixon were brought up to me, and guys have played through things.
01:33And it took them hours to get ready to play a game.
01:37They got guys that show up late.
01:39They got the catcher that was just benched by Cora because he missed a meeting or missed the early thing.
01:44They weren't in it, and they weren't ready to go from day one.
