Man, that's so dumb. Felger. Oh, you idiot. In Mass. Holy crap. Felger and Mass. I hate that. 985. The Sports Hub. Runners will be all for the crack of the bat with two outs. Kimbril Deals, Brickman in the air, left field. Ben Tendentendie dies. And he makes the kids. Oh, what a play!

0:22.3

Game saver!

0:24.0

Andrew Benintendi!

0:26.7

The Red Sox win on a spectacular catch by Benintendi in left field.

0:34.2

Wow.

0:35.6

What a game.

0:38.7

What a game. What a finish. All right. Your reaction. Final hour here on Felger and Maserati. The lineups are out for tonight. Real quick note. I want Maz's thoughts on the Red Sox lineup. There were some changes there. And what do you think it means and just your thoughts on it? Okay. So the ones that catch my attention, Mitch Morland at first base, has not played first base the whole series. He has excellent, excellent career matchup numbers against Justin

1:11.1

Verlander. That was obviously true early in the series and they didn't play him, so they clearly

1:15.3

think he's healthier now and can play the field, but his career OPS against Verlander 847.

1:20.6

So he's in there, and Kinsler at second base, which is the opposite direction, right? Holt

1:26.0

played game one against Verlander and got absolutely manhandled. Struck out three times, if you remember it. So Cora clearly saw something there that didn't like to go in with Kinsler there. So it does feel to me, though, like you're getting better defense on the right side of the infield all the way around. And so it would be interesting to see how Cora explains that, whether Morland's matchup numbers factored in or whether it's really designed for more defense on that

1:48.5

side of the infield. For the for the Astros, you have the most notable change is Mariznick

1:55.9

in center field. He's getting a right-handed bat in there against Price. You know, it doesn't, he doesn't have great matchup numbers or anything of the like. Kemp is still in left, which means they don't have L-Tuve on the field because he's moving right. I mean, I think that's an easy one. But, you know, they want another right-handed bat in there against Price, probably to bring that short left field porch into play.

2:17.8

I mean, he's looking for offense, right?

2:19.2

Okay, Price ain't going long. I think it's going to be hard for him to get a win. Yeah. I think it's hard for him to go five innings. So I think if they get four, they're happy. Who backs them up? Good question. I think it depends on the score. But I probably would say Joe Kelly. again.

2:33.0

That would be my guess.

2:34.5

I mean, I don't remember

2:35.1

to Kelly pitch game three.

2:36.7

Yeah, I can't remember.

2:37.9

So I don't. but I probably would say Joe Kelly. Again. That would be my guess.

2:35.1

I mean, I don't remember.

2:36.2

Did Kelly pitch game three?
