Zolak & Bertrand: Triston Casas wrong for questioning the Red Seat?
On Monday’s edition of Zolak & Bertrand, the crew dives into whether Triston Casas actually hit the Red Seat at Fenway Park. Casas questioned whether the legendary Williams’ homer was a myth after Saturday’s game.
Who is Triston Casas to question it?
Joe Murray: I put respect on Ted Williams name. I believe the ball was hit up there, whether he did it or not.
Marc Bertrand: All right. Let’s say it’s fudged a little bit. I bet Milliken’s a Ted Williams truther. So, Casas hit one 429 FT. That’s how far he hit the ball. And let’s say 502 FT is wrong. They fudged it for Ted Williams a little bit. Ted Williams being the greatest hitter that ever lived. So what was it then? He thinks Ted hit it 429 FT? He thinks he beat Ted Williams over the weekend?
Joe Murray: I agree with that one.
Marc Bertrand: Because I would say, kiss my ass, Casas. What are you talking about? All right, so he didn’t hit it 502. He hit it for 490 FT. He hit 485 FT. I can tell you this. You didn’t come close. So shut your mouth, Casas. And don’t start picking a fight with the legend of Ted Williams. Don’t do that. That’s stupid. Idiot.
Joe Murray: Triston Casas shouldn’t be talking about how far his home runs go. That’s the point of all this.
Marc Bertrand: Bingo. That’s kind of my point. If you don’t think it was 502 FT, you think you beat him over the weekend, pal. You thought that Ted Williams was 425 FT? By the way, I fully believe that Ted Williams could hit the ball 500 FT. I don’t know if the seat is legit or not, but I’ll tell you what. If it’s not legit, he came close.
