Oh, right, of course, because I should know who that is. I don't care what you think.

I'll tell you something that rub me right.

Felder and Mass on 985, the Sports Hub. Delighted to have Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslo with us. Great to see you. Thanks for popping in. My pleasure. Thank you. Two and six. Tell everybody a great reason to feel better about things right now, Craig. You get a couple of good lines here.

Well, you know, I think we still believe very, very strongly in this team. And, you know, it's funny on the way up.

I was just saying that, you know, your rational brain says baseball needs to be evaluated over the long term.

Eight games in, you know, it's not the time you want to draw conclusions. But your heart says, okay, you know, how do we, how do we help the group? What do we need to do? What are we missing? How do we turn this thing around? But we have a bunch of good players who are not performing up to their potential right now, and that's going to turn. Agenda free. And that means it's agenda free, as Mass tells you. Agenda Free Friday is brought you by our friends at Catchers Law. At Catchers, they specialize in helping those who have been injured not only from a one-time incident, but from a lifetime of hard work and labor. Does it sound like you? Then visit Catcherslaw.com, K-E-C-H-E-S. The format of Agenda-Free Friday is well known by now. you load the phones with your thoughts, your agenda, and we follow you. We have no agenda today. We have release a hounds at 617-779-0-98-5. The call screen is already populating. We'll go to you. First segment, if and when you're ready. We give you opening takes first. That was Craig Breslo from earlier in the week. It's just a way to get into Mazza's opening take. Go ahead, Anthony. Okay, so Craig Breslo did an interview with Alex Speer or the Boston Globe in which you talked about the state of the Red Sox. And to me, one of the real critical elements in the story comes at the end where Alex Spear asked Bresol what I would call an excellent question.

Okay, now I'm going to read from this quickly, but Speer writes,

Breslo has frequently cited the ability to remain strategically nimble as one of his foremost lessons since taking this job,

meaning he likes the flexibility, never lock yourself into a corner,

and give yourself wiggle room to get out of anything.

But Speer writes, but given that he had identified upgraded power as a key off-season focus,

might a more meaningful lesson be the need to extend further beyond the team's current, I'm sorry, beyond the team's comfort area and admitting a shortcoming to shore up a

shortcoming.

Breslow's answer.

And by the way, excellent question by Alex Spear.

You said you needed power.

So given what happened, don't you think there's a lesson here that you need to go beyond your comfort zone?
