This, what are you doing that stupid trickery crap for?

Is Felger and Mass?

The continued issue, uh, on 985.

I just want to see what the fuss is about.

The Sports Hub.

I'll probably hate it.

All right, final hour here at 503 in the evening. Felgar and Maz, agenda-free Friday, brought you by Planet Fitness. The world judges they don't plant fitness.com. Everything on the table from the week, anything we've gotten to or have yet to get to. It is up to you. We just follow your lead on the phones. We're mostly Patriots and Red Sox right now, but we did some Bruins earlier in the program.

A little Celtics thought here and there.

So wherever you want to go, it's up to you.

We'll go back to the phones now unless someone here on the panel has a leadoff thought for this hour. God, no. No. Okay. Then we're just going to hear from you people. So it better be good. Don't suck. Bill in Connecticut. What do you got, Bill, on the Red Sox?

Yo, it's, why did you put sales in the bullpen?

You're trying to build his arm up.

So let him pitch one or two innings.

And then when he's in the World Series, he can pitch a whole game.

Okay, Bill. I'm not exactly sure that's how you do it.

But is Chris Sale at all a consideration for you for the bullpen? No. I mean, unless, you know, unless like there's no other choice at the end because you, no. No, sales starts. Does he go tomorrow or Sunday? He is pitching, I believe, Saturday or Sunday. Okay. And what is your, what is your expectation? What is your need there? What do you need to see from him on Sunday? Better command and control is the big one for me. It's not pitch count? Well, I mean, a little bit, but honestly, I think they sort of go hand in hand. Like, I think as long as he is executing and putting the ball where it's supposed to go,

I would also look at the break on his slider. Like to me, the stuff, the command of the stuff and the secondary stuff has to be better than it was in that game the other night. We got Ron and Worcester with the Patriots thought. Hi, Ron. Yeah, how you doing, Mike? A long time. Normally I call about hockey, but I've had to listen to you and Maz all winter and most of the summer,

talking about Garoppolo.

I don't understand your obsession with this guy.

As a matter of fact, you activate my gag reflex sometimes.

The thing that I'm trying to figure out is, number one, how many games is this guy won in the NFL? Seven. Matt Castle has won more games in the NFL than Garoppolo did. You talked about he was the future of the Patriots, which basically, I know you're on Nostradamus. You're on point on a lot of things, but the guy is not proven. Ron, can I stop you? Because we've been over this a million times. Personally, yes, I think he can play. I think he'll be good. But take me out of it. Take Mazz out of it. The whole issue here is that Belichick thought he was the guy. So all your second-guessing reserved for Belichick, because that's who I'm taking my cues from on this. all right, and the thing is, is the other thing that is that, in other we're talking about a very small sample size here, which is a phrase that you guys use by regularly. And again, Ron, I'm sorry. Bill liked him. But just interrupted. Bill's not going on a small sample size. Bill was with them for four straight years on the practice field in the meeting rooms,

face-to-face, hand-to-hand combat for four straight years. Bill is not going off of the two-and-a-half regular season games. He were one-and-half, whatever it was, that he played for you a couple years ago. He had much more knowledge of it. All right, your thought, you don't think this guy plays a little bit soft? I remember the game he opted out when he had this little dinky injury.
