[upbeat music] All right, welcome back to Blair and Barker, brought to you by Capital One. Capital One, giving Canadians credit for 30 years. Just to continue very briefly, we're talking about the issue with the Red Sox going back to the Devers, uh, to the Devers situation, and I think that fell on Craig Breslow's desk. And, um, yeah, this is, uh... You know, this is just a- almost, I think, a logical extension to that. And I-- the re- point I was making earlier was you think back to last year, seemed like a lot of times we had Rob Bradford or somebody on from Boston last year. Kevin, we were talking about who gets fired with Alex Cora, some of the coaches were gonna go. So- Yep ... and yeah, that's where we are. Uh, of course, the Red Sox are not the only team or teams that are scuffling. The, uh, the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets. New York Mets swept by the Colorado Rockies over the weekend. They're 10 and a half. Both teams are 10 and a half back, and it ain't the end of April. Um, we're gonna play a clip from SNY, uh, the Mets broadcasters. And, uh, those of you who are watching us on TV, it's a, it's, it's, it's a, a clip of Bo Bichette s- sitting in the dugout I don't know how long after the game has left. Let's, let's roll the clip and, and the audio as well, please.
