These guys know how to connect with you about Boston Sports. Say that more slowly because I'm stupid. Pelgar and Maher on 985. The Sports Hub. In the middle last year, I think it was in June, you sort of changed your policy about talking. Are you going to go back to before that or is it? I mean, we can talk, but you know, you're not going to come over and kind of overload me with negativity that's

just not going to happen all right that's not going to happen that's the answer I'll talk but if you start

pulling your crap I'm out viper all right that's David price said today we've started red Sox your thoughts

what's their ceiling can they win the world series can they of course they can. Murray says no. No. Jimmy Stewart, can they? Is there a ceiling a World Series championship? I would put it at 1%. No, that's too low. I mean, but... This team is missing that attitude that want to win a World Series. I don't think they have it. I didn't say, will they?

And I agree.

I don't think they will.

Okay, but can they? Can they if... No, there's enough there for them to win with. And I agree. And I also agree with Stu that they're missing that thing. And that's how we let off the show. They did nothing to address it other than change the manager. Is that enough? See, I feel like it isn't because I think they need a legit power hitter.

That's my assessment.

But if you told me that, you know, price and sale both won 20 games, is that that outlandish? No. And that they got in and shut down the opposition because they finally got, you know, clued in and pitched well in October. That wouldn't stun me either. And again, between all the abilities there... All the kids that had downish years last year, if you just get three of them. Bradley, Betts, Ben Intendi, Bogart's, Devers, you get three of those guys to bounce back. Your lineups good. Not great, but good. Yeah, so again, I'm not saying they're favorite. But Hanley on the, like it's...

So now you, of all people, believe in Haley Ramirez. I'm just saying they're sealing. Yeah, good luck. They have ceiling. I do not believe in having them. This team feels like the Oakland Athletics under the Moneyball era. Good regular season team will clean up on some of the dwellers, but once it gets October. Oh, my hands are off. I've done all that I can do. All right, so let's start mixing

in some calls. Sure, yes. With your... clean up on some of the dwellers. But once it gets to October, oh, my hands are off.

I've done all that I can do. All right. So let's start mixing in some calls. Sure, yes. With your thoughts. Pete and Delaware, go Pete. Hey, guys. Comment on the question. Comedy, the relaxed comment, he made only bothers me from the standpoint that this team was very accepting of the way they lose in the playoffs. They just, there's no emotion when they lose.

We saw it on the playing field.

They got their butts kicked. was very accepting of the way they lose in the playoffs. There's no emotion when they lose.

We saw it on the playing field.

They got their butts kicked, and nobody, it just was very accepting.

So I hope someone gets really angry or whatever and changes this because it's just too accepting of it.

And, hey, Matt, question for you, as far as the economics this year, we've seen with

the free agent signings, the money going down, is there anything you can point to that you see that's causing that? So, look, I think it's a lot of factors like anything. I don't think it's worse. Yeah, I mean, that's part of it. But I also think that teams just say, well, you know, it's okay. We'll suck for a couple of years. Like to me, there were a lot of elements there, which is honestly too long a discussion to have for right now.

But as for this team... okay, we'll suck for a couple of years. To me, there are a lot of elements there, which is honestly too long a discussion to have

for right now.

But as for this team, their potential is good.
