You are a Lop Don Red Sox post cast, part of Lop Don Sports Boston, on the Lop Don podcast network. Your team's every day. Hello disturbing trend continuing for Red Sox starting pitchers. It continued Saturday. This time the Padres' thumping 10 are out. Sox losing game two of the series against the Padres by a score of 11 to 1. Sox have lost three in a row. The Padres are surging. They've taken the first two games of the series at Fenway. Not time to hit the pounding button, but we certainly want to ask the question, how do the Red Sox turn things around and get back to those positive vibes? Welcome to the lockdown Red Sox post cast. I'm Steve Lennox. I've covered amateur college, minor league baseball, major league baseball on radio, and TV going back to 1997, the same year that Wally the Green Monster became the official mascot of the Red Sox. No, we are not the same age. We are providing reaction every Red Sox game on the lockdown Sports Boston YouTube channel as well as a lockdown Red Sox podcast feed, which is free and available wherever you get your podcasts and where Gabby Herlbert produces in-depth Red Sox content Monday through Friday. Tonight's show we're talking about trying to find that spark again. Don't jump off the bandwagon, Tanner Houthey laid a sock starting pitcher to get roughed up. He departed early and another new guy making his big league debut for the Boston Red Sox. And I'm wondering if it's too early for a top prospect to come up and perhaps light a fire, provide a spark, something for this team. Something has to be shaken up here before the all-star break. You cannot have what you had over the previous couple of weeks come to a bitter end and have that bitter feeling in your mouth, whether it's the team front office, fan base, ownership, whatever. None of those groups that I just mentioned can fall flat and have that bitter taste come back. Our latest episode of the lockdown Red Sox podcast is brought to you by booking.com booking. Yeah, the right way and the right stay can make you a fan of any city, even your rivals. Check out booking.com for your stay today. So we recap it, Tanner Houthey, the birthday boy, 28 Saturday, but not a great birthday for Tanner Houthey in terms of getting the start against the Padres. They got going with the run of the second, two more on the third, one in the fourth inning. They led four nothing. Then they led ten nothing, six run fifth inning. Friday night, nine run fifth inning against Pavetta and the bullpen and Greg Weisert. Well, Saturday, six run fifth inning, Houthey, chase from the game. How did they get there? A walk, a single, a single Manny Machado, three run home run, the second of the game from Machado off Tanner Houthey and Houthey again on his 28th birthday, four to third and it's nine hits, seven earned runs total in his outing and a rough one for Houthey and a rough one for the Red Sox. Actually, eight runs, seven earned, walked one, struck out four, Houthey giving up three home runs, had given up just two home runs, over a hundred plus innings going in to a start on Saturday. Again, Manny Machado, villain, a 29 ballparks around Major League Baseball, certainly cheered at Pennco Park in San Diego, his home ballpark right now, but Machado again, doing it to the Red Sox, two home runs and you know, you go from there as the Red Sox take it on the chin and we'll talk about Belly Horn making his big league debut coming up, but the Red Sox right now, this has got to stop. It's got to stop somewhere and did you tax your bullpen? You know, right now, last weekend, remember, Zach Kelly got an opener role in the series finale against the Reds. You had a day off in there, you had the rain out, you've had, you've had time to get the pitching in shape and I don't want to hear, well, this guy's pitching with an extra days rest or, you know, things have happened along those lines. This has to stop. Red Sox have to get back and going in the right direction, somehow, someway. Got to figure it out. Have to figure it out. How that happens? I don't know. Another Brad, Brad Pitt, Moneyball, playing Billy Bean, goes into the office, talks to Jonah says, hey, we got to shake things up here. I don't know how you shake it up here. I don't and I don't, but something, something sort of has to be done. Costas is not coming back in the next week. Costas is probably not coming back before the All-Star break, but you know what, Tristan Costas is a bat in a lineup, a lefty bat in a lineup. Better defensive first baseman. Dom Smith's got some opportunities here. Dom Smith's probably looking at when Costas comes back, I'm going to be, I'm going to be. Dom Smith did work the ninth inning, by the way, gave up two out hit. Of course it was to Luis Arise because Luis Arise wants his hits. That's what he's known for. He wants his hits, but again, look at the outings, couple of, you know, last Saturday, Pavetta, Inc. Cincinnati, four and a third innings, Kelly, the opener, two and two thirds, scoreless, and then the bullpen took it the rest of the way. How glass timeout gave up three runs to earned against the Toronto Blue Jays and making back to back starts against Toronto. How worked into the seventh inning, ran into some trouble, had to, he was cruising, he's cruising right along, and Bea a conquer. And you don't know what would have happened in that game on Wednesday, where it was suspended early on against the Blue Jays, but the Blue Jays were starting to sort of break out of it. They were showing signs. Butter Crawford got the start, game suspended, zero, zero, they'll make it up in August. But you're looking at three straight losses right now, and who knows, you could be looking at four straight losses. If they lost the game just a couple of days ago, on Wednesday, you had the off day. The bullpen, you know, you haven't seen Canley so far in this series, no need. You haven't had a lead. So how, again, four and a third, nine hits, eight runs, seven heard, not pretty, Pavetta last night, four plus innings, five earned runs. And you know, 20 runs total for the Padres over the first two games. Padres are on a roll. Red Sox have dropped three in a row. Good thing for tomorrow. You've been successful in series finale slightly, we've touched on that. So go out, avoid the series sweep, avoid a four straight loss, but you've got to stop it. You've got to stop it before it really snowballs. You're already starting to inch towards that ledge, you've got to stop it. How does it happen? I'm about going out there and simply somehow, some way, getting runners on base, having that foot traffic, the Padres, and during the successful run that the Red Sox got to where there were seven games over 500 traffic on the basis, I'm going to touch on home runs and why sometimes home runs aren't the greatest thing in the world. I'm going to do that in our next segment. But right now you look at the Red Sox, the way things are going, that's three straight losses. Those positive vibes you just had. You're not all the way gone, but I'm not going to listen to this team's plane above its head. This team's plane above expectations, no, no, you should have thought this. And when you got to that point of seven games over 500, you continue going in that the right direction. And there's a theme to these losses. Three errors, the first one resulting early on in an unearned run. How might have had an opportunity to get out of that inning early on in the game against the Padres? Now, it was that going to change things from the third inning on where they got two in the third, one in the fourth and six runs in the fifth inning? I don't know. But in that second inning, it could have been bases loaded one out, instead single to center field, they had base runners on error by the center fielder, Jaren Duran. That allows the run to score. Hassan Kim did not get credit for an RBI, unearned run, how it got a strikeout, got the final out, inning over. Maybe he could have left the bases loaded there in the second and all of a sudden that's a jolt. Instead, you're down one nothing. Instead, there was an error there. Belly Horn had an error where, you know, field your position, throw it to first base. As soon as he threw the ball, you're watching it, you knew that ball was going over. Dom Smith at first base, he just air mailed it. Okay. Deborah's had an error. Okay. Three errors in the game. And that's when the errors sort of add up for the Red Sox. That's a theme. All of a sudden, you know, Luis Arise in the ninth inning, okay? Working in minor league baseball for years, you'd see a guy have three hits, content to have three hits. The Red Sox down, one nothing, three nothing, four nothing, ten nothing, lose 11 to one. Just going up there, giving it bats away. Luis Arise for the Padres is not one of those guys. He wants his hit. He wants his hits. He wants multiple hits in a game. Had three hits, scored two runs for the Padres on Saturday and a lopsided win for San Diego. Red Sox hitters, no, they had a couple opportunities, hit into a couple of double plays. Leadoff man gets on every once in a while. Just two more walks. I'm going to harp on that number for a while. I'm going to go back and take a look at the walks over the last couple of weeks. Two walks and back to back games, a two out or a walk in the ninth inning to reach McGuire. Had a good at bat, played appearance. Worked a walk. But with your speed guys, get on base. Work those pitch counts. One was good. Michael King was solid. Six innings. Picks up the win at sixth. But how takes a loss? Red Sox again, looking at being swept at home in a series. I don't know how you turn it around right now, but also how do you figure this out at home? It's not just this year, it's going back. You've got the support, you know, Monday, the victory against the Blue Jays. Celtics were there celebrating their 18th NBA title in franchise history. He vibes, right? That's the way you want the ballpark every single night. They talked about it on the radio broadcast on Friday with Will Fleming and Lou Marloney. Alex Cora wants a Friday night happening. This is the spot to be. Make this our home ballpark. If the visiting team has fans in the ballpark, you don't want to hear, "Let's go Yankees, let alone, let's go Padres," which you heard. You heard that on Friday. With the loss, Red Sox, again, have dropped three in a row and all three at Fenway Park, now 19 and 23 at home. Four games under 500 at home. Still can't be consistent at home. And you won four of six against the Phillies and the Yankees. That's now in the rear view. You can't cling to that any further. First loss for Tanner Hough since mid-May against the race. He had been seven at home, or the Red Sox had been seven at home in his previous seven outings. We don't know when those seven starts. First loss with Hough making the start for the Red Sox since mid-April, April 15th, against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Padres clinched the series, they've won five in a row and nine of ten. When tomorrow, avoid the series sweep day off in Miami on Monday, three game series against the Marlins and don't look ahead to the Marlins series and say, "Hey, let's go take two out of three." That is a feisty team. We'll have more on them with our look ahead on Sunday after the series finale. But the Red Sox, again, get the leadoff man on, put the pressure on the pitcher, move base runners, but it's hard to steal bases with trailing by three, four, five runs. The Reds are a team that will steal bases in any circumstance. I think it's one of those things that Alex Corey is not just going to give the green light when you're down three, four, five runs. But we haven't even gotten those base runners on in order to force that action. You go from there. Asking on the mount against a knuckleballer, Matt Waldron going to the hill for the San Diego Padres in the finale on Sunday afternoon, believe 135 first pitch. When our home runs, when our home runs not good for a team, discuss that next. And our Lockdown Red Sox postcast is brought to you by our friends at booking.com.

I was curious what the FanDuel under and with the 11 runs scored by the Padres. Yeah, the over is where you wanted to go on Saturday. Back at it, segment number two, Padres wins Saturday, Thump Tanner, Hauke and the bullpen. And a home run streak, we're going to get into that here. Jared Duran did hit a home run for the Red Sox in the ballgame on Saturday. Duran, home run in the sixth inning to start things off. Red Sox now have at least one home run in 10 straight games, 18 total and a lot of solo shots during that current stretch where they've hit at least one home run in 10 games. But Duran, sixth inning. One is a home run, not a good, not a, not ideal, okay? Are the Red Sox think about this? Are the Red Sox better suited with Duran hitting a lead off home run? First run of the game, avoid a shutout bid for the Padres and their pitching staff. Or the Red Sox better suited with Duran leading off the sixth inning, down big, but getting on base. This isn't just down big. This isn't any game. We're in a situation, get on base, let those guys behind you move that line. Let the pitcher work from the stretch. Now a lot of pitchers nowadays work from the stretch 100% of the time. But it's a little different pitching from the stretch with a runner on base. It is. It just simply is. A lot of people will tell you that. So with that, Duran hits the home run. Okay. You're happy. There's a good vibe there. It didn't over. But just overall, you're looking at it and you're saying in this situation, if you've gotten on base with a walk or a hit, he's at first, lead off man aboard, nobody out. You go from there. Sometimes managers, and I heard this in the minor leagues many years ago of, you know, hey, you get a three run home run, it brings you to within a run or two, but now you've got to start all over. And that's where you're starting with Duran leading off the sixth inning with a home run. You may not agree with that logic, but there is some logic to it. Again, you hit a three run home run, you're down five runs, you're within two. You now need another base runner. If you get on base, now you're giving that next guy an opportunity with runners on base. Sometimes home runs are rally killers, Duran's again, guy with speed. Are you running in that situation down 10 runs at the time? No, you're not. But at least you're on base, but in a three nothing ball game, you get on base. Now you've got the tying run on deck. You still have that, but you're starting over with that next hitter when he leads off with a home run. But the table setters right now for the Red Sox, again, the number that's driving me crazy is two and numbers of the night coming up in our next segment. But two walks, four walks total in each of the first two games. The leadoff man has gotten on five times and nine opportunities on Friday. But again, you were playing catch up. And there was not a lot done. Devers, remember last night, home run to lead off in any, get some guys on base in front of Tyler O'Neill and Raffi Devers. O'Neill, rough Saturday, over four, three K's, Devers over four, two K's. And sometimes guys like that in the lineup, the onus isn't completely on the guys in front of them. But those table setters, you bring up your three, four, five hitters in the lineup. They've got runners on base. Now it's different these days. It doesn't automatically assume or it's not automatically going to be a given where those hitters with runners on base, the three, four, poppers in the lineup are going to see steady diet of fastballs. They're still going to see that breaking stop. But you've got to get those guys on base consistently. It's great when they're going well, but their funks have to be few and far between. How do you do that? Work deep counts. Don't put the ball in the air. Duran's going to probably hit 15 to 20 over the course of the season. How many of those home runs are going to be clutch home runs, tire, put a team in front, or extend a lead that's one or two runs. Hamilton has hit some clutch home runs recently, adding on to leads, putting the team in front. But those guys, more valuable, getting on base, working walks, working deep counts, not necessarily the case in recent games for the Red Sox. Not just piling on because now they've lost three in a row, but I go back to the Cincinnati series. There weren't a lot of walks or weren't a lot of freebies. Ballyhorn did make his major league debut. Reliever went two and two thirds, gave up four hits, two more runs, walked two, struck out a pair and gave up one home run, came in in that rough inning, the sixth or the fifth inning where the Padres scored six runs, and Ballyhorn making his major league debut. He'll be part of our numbers of the night coming up, but gave up the home run in that fifth inning. And that was kind of, you know, the cherry on top, Sullivan touching him up for a two run shot, scored house on Kim and the fifth inning, that made it 10-nothing. So Ballyhorn, major league debut, entered in the fifth inning, gave up the two run home run to Brett Sullivan, that made it two-nothing, or 10-nothing rather, and he did leave the bases full in the seventh inning. And Horn again, making his major league debut. Great to see how he celebrates a birthday with a rough one. Horn celebrates his major league debut with a rough game for the team. So he's not in the clubhouse necessarily after the game celebrating that. I'm sure a couple of guys came up and said, "Hey, congratulations." It's been an interesting story. Ties to Craig Breslow and both were with the Cubs. But overall, table setters, new guy, those are a couple of the positives. One more positive from Saturday, Connor Wong, had a base hit in the fifth inning, got that base hit. So he extends his hit streak. He's now hit safely in 15 straight games. And Dom Smith, you want to call it saving the bullpen, Dom Smith did work the ninth inning. He was on the mound through Slough, Slower, and at his slowest. Dom Smith kind of pitched that ninth inning the way Dom Smith plays baseball. There's not going to be that grind, well, there's going to be grind out at pass. But it's just going to be, you know, at his speed. And again, Dom Smith's probably looking at, you know, the possibility of finding a new team in a few weeks when Tristan Costas comes back, but he's been given opportunity. He's hit some balls hard. He's made a handful of decent plays at first base, but you just sometimes are left scratching your head with Dom Smith. Again, he worked a scoreless ninth inning. Alex Cora did not have to go to the bullpen one more time. He gave up the hit until Louisa rise. What do you have? Three fly ball outs, I think. Retired the first two, gave up the hit, got the next batter on a flyout inning over. So Dom Smith, Chuckle, Chuckle, and an 11-1 laugher, had to have one more laugh there. You got it on the top of the ninth inning with Dom Smith making the start. Numbers of the night, we look ahead, Sox are going to face a knuckle baller. I'll tell you about Matt Waldron when we continue. Lockdown Red Sox Postcast, part of the Lockdown Sports Boss on YouTube channel. We are available wherever you get your podcasts as well.

All right, I don't know if you can bring up a top prospect right now, but Marcelo Meyer in the same draft as Jackson Merrill for the San Diego Padres, Merrill's had his ups and downs. He's a short snap playing center field. He's an athlete. Similar to what the Red Sox have done, draft middle of the field of players over the last handful of years. Merrill is that. Meyer is not coming up in the next couple of weeks, I don't think, and I'd be shocked if he was going to come up. But the Red Sox need some sort of prospect to come up, okay? So the number is now five. Nelly Horn, the fifth player with the Red Sox to make his Major League debut in 2024. He is the fourth pitcher as well. Boozer, Slaton, Uwasawa, Pardon me, Jamie Westbrook, the only position player. They're all feel good stories, but they're all sort of minor league veterans. Bally is now up in the big leagues, right? Got his opportunity. Bally Horn is a big leader, fifth this year, but they're all similar. They've all got great longevity stories in the minor leagues. They persevered one way or another. And now it's, you know, what guy in the minor leagues, maybe it's a pitcher. Maybe you're calling down and Cooper Criswell is down there in the minors. He was part of the rotation until he wasn't, and it was more not on performance, but more on the way the schedule stacked up in the previous couple of weeks with the off days that were in there. They'll have another off day on Monday. So somebody who, you know, hey, who can come up here, give us a shot in the arm over the next couple of weeks. Maybe you're going to try to catch lightning in the bottle. But five players have now made their major league debut this year and all similar with the path, minor league, not lifers, but minor league longevity stories in terms of being out there with everything. So the Red Sox, again, with the numbers of the night, 20 runs, 28 hits, six home runs. Let's give those again. 20 runs, 28 hits, and six home runs for the Padres in taking the first two games of the series. They've given up 15 runs in the fifth inning. So if you have the lead after five on Sunday, if you're the Red Sox, just breathe a sigh of relief and sort of go from there. You're going to see a knuckle baller. If you don't know about Matt Waldron, he is tied to the late Tim Wakefield, and you're going to hear stories about that on Sunday. There are a couple of stories, Mike Monaco and Will Middlebrook's in the Nesson broadcast booth on Saturday, Nesson reference right there, I think my first of the postcast. But Waldron gets the start. Team seven to nine in his 16 outings. He is five and six with a 3.43 ERA. He does have, the team does have six wins in his last outings. They lost his first four early on in April, but Waldron of late has slimy teams with the knuckle ball. He's given up two earned runs or less in each of his last nine outings. That knuckle ball, he throws about 39% of the time. His four seem fast while he throws about 22% of the time, and he's in the low nineties. You almost want to knock Waldron out early because of knuckle baller. If you're in a funk right now, if you're coming to the ballpark, you're in the lineup on Sunday and you're in a funk, a knuckle baller can add to that. But he'll get the start, give up seven home runs early on mentioning he lost his first four outings, and the Padres lost his first four outings. He's given up just one home run in his last eight starts, but the Red Sox do have that stretch now, at least one home run in 10 straight games. Josh Wankowski gets the start Tuesday against Toronto in relief. Save the rest of the bullpen. Made you feel good, even though you lost the game. When six gave up six hits, two earned runs, a walk eight strikeouts. You'll take that on Sunday through 91 pitches, so he's extended and he can go. By the way, Dom Smith, the only Red Sox active position player that has any experience against Waldron, the knuckle baller, oh, for two career. No one else for the Red Sox has seen Matt Waldron in their career. So when Kowski gets the start, we'll see how he does. Gets an opportunity to be a part of the rotation, at least for the next couple of weeks. Then after, as you work the rotation, leading up to the all-star break, and then out of the all-star break, you can sort of set things up as well. Right now, this rotation, starting rotation, needs a shot in the arm. Where does it come from? Where does it come from? Does it come from Wankowski? The reliever/starter on Sunday. Padres take it, throwing 11 runs and winning 11-1 on Saturday, they've clinched a series. They'll go for the series sweep and try to extend their win streak on Sunday with the series finale.
