Thanks for choosing Felger and Maz to entertain. There's no reason to touch it. And inform you in the afternoon. I think your cheeks were a little loose. 985, the Sports Hub. How many endings do you think you could go in game one? As many as we need. There's no holding back now. I think my job's been the same since the first day I got here. You hand me the ball when you want me to throw it, and you take it out of my hand when you want

me. There's no holding back now. I think my job's been the same since the first day I got here.

You hand me the ball when you want me to throw it,

and you take it out of my hand when you want me to stop.

That's what I'm going with.

403 in the afternoon, Felgramaz here on 985, the Sports Hub,

FM dialing Boston simulcast across New England and the nation on NBC Sports Boston on the TV side.

Catch us on your phone on the 985 the Sports Hub app anytime, anywhere.

You miss it live.

The live stream pops right up when you open up the app.

But if you miss it live, catch us that night or the next morning and catch up on anything to do with Felger and maz that's how you get us that's chris sale yesterday on his expectation here going into game one what do you expect from amaz pitch count wise somewhere around 90 again i think that that's how you're going to get i think he gets to that number and the red sox knows he knows he knows he loses it and that's it so i don't know what that that means. Six in a perfect world, that's six.

I doubt you're getting seven. You're probably getting less than six because it's the World Series. So five and change. How about third time through the lineup? That's a big stat nerd thing. Absolutely it is. And so look, sale is a little different because he's sale. Right. So as long as he's throwing the ball well, you'll let him go through the lineup as many times as you want.

But sure, I think they all factor in.

I think... right so as long as he's throwing the ball well you'll let him go through the lineup as many times as you want but sure i i think they all factor in i think you watch him and keep an eye on him and see how it goes and you know i i i just i'm saying this to you yesterday but i think it's a big thing i don't think you can bank on him later in the series i just don't think he's bouncing back.

And so, do you know, your theory with the whole stomach thing, the more and more I think about it. Oh, yeah, you have a developing opinion on this. I do. The more I think about it, and you've said that it's a result of painkillers, or likely the result of painkillers for anti-inflammatories for his shoulder. And the more I think of that, I think you're on to something. Because when I went back and watched sales outing in game of one of the championship series,

that second inning, he was brutal. I mean, he was all over the place.

He couldn't finish a slider. The ball's finishing up and out of the strike zone,

which tells me it hurt. It hurt.

So he couldn't all of a sudden, you know, snap that slider into the strike zone like he wanted to. So maybe after the seconding, he went in there and they gave him more. Because in the third and fourth inning, he was better. I'm just not sure you can do that with a lot of that stuff. So, but again, maybe there's a reason. Maybe that's why. Maybe why he got sick. You overdid it. So what I've always heard on a lot of pain medication in football is that you sometimes get, you have to pick a half, which half? You're either medicated for the first half and that wears off in the second and they won't give you more, or you'll wait till the second half and do it then and you're good in the second half, but you struggle in the first. A lot of people think that's what happened to Aaron Rogers in that the playoff year they lost in Seattle. Seattle, right? He had a really great first half. He had a really bad ankle, and he had a really good first half, and then the second half was like weird, he couldn't move. And he was hobbling, yeah. And it was, they think, tort all or whatever he's on there wore off and he they're not they're not going to give you a second shot i just wonder would say because again if you go back and look at that game the third and fourth innings were different than the second but then didn't he settle down later those two then then he came out i see yeah that was it then he came out and so i just wonder I don't know, he strikes me as the kind of guy that would go in and take it on his own.

Like you're not going to give me more.

Fine, I'll grab it on my own. I don't know. I'm just throwing that out there. I have no idea if it works that way. I'm just, and I have no idea either. I'm just telling you that I wonder if something change in the middle of that game

and it's probably a crazy stupid carcamee theory
