Thanks for choosing Felger and Maz to entertain my nickname is Kloon and inform you in the afternoon. The people who like licorice, really like licorice. 985, the Sports Hub. Felger and Mazurati on a Tuesday. We're going to start with some Red Sox. They went again last night. Yay! In Miami. Are you going to be sarcastic about that? Maz, are you feeling anything with your baseball team? Well, when does a regular season start? When do these spring training games wrap up?

I'm wondering. Yay! In Miami, are you going to be sarcastic about that? Mads, are you feeling anything with your baseball team?

Well, when does a regular season start? When do these spring training games wrap up? I'm wondering, because it feels to me like they're just playing the same old crappy spring training teams. So you're already diminishing what they've done? Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, they're playing spring training teams. They haven't left the state of Florida. as far as I'm concerned, it's still grapefruit league for crying out loud.

They might as well be playing the Minnesota Twins at Lee County Stadium or whatever they call that stupid-ass place now. Go up to Tampa, play the race in that place, and drive down to Miami or fly or whatever they did, play the Marlins. It's the same minor league outfits that they've been playing throughout the spring.

Four and one, they should be five and oh. I'm just having a hard time getting into it. That's all. That's all. Four and one's good. They should be five and oh. Four and one's obviously good. Well, you better get into it for at least the next 40 minutes, pal. Okay, because we're starting Red Sox. Yeah, I'm into it.

I told you, I was into it right up until the point that Hanley hit the home run last night, and then... I got it, I got it, I got it.

I'm sorry, I woke up, and it was seven or three.

I said, good, boom, time for bed.

Here we go.

I caught up on it.

I did.

I just think their competition right now is so bad. It is so freaking bad. And I don't think it's going to get better anytime soon. They could be like 9 and 1 by the 8 and 2 by the time the Yankees come into here next week. So, but even so, they're beating the teams they should be, give them credit for that, and they did

hit the ball around a little bit last night, hit the ball out of the ballpark. So to me, all a good sign. Rack up all the wins while you can. Rack them up while you can, because if you win the division and you can overtake the Yankees, which I doubt they'll be able to do, it gives them a huge leg up. Maybe you catch a break and the Yankees get bounced.

J.S. too, you can open the phones immediately.

If you want to talk Red Sox folks, now's your chance.

I can't guarantee what else you're going to get. it gives him a huge leg up. Maybe you catch a break and the Yankees get bounced. Jay, Stu, you can open the phones immediately.

If you want to talk Red Sox folks, now's your chance. I can't guarantee what else you're going to get today in terms of socks stuff. So if you want to do it, now is your time. 617-779-0-98-5. I wonder, man, this isn't a side about Major League Baseball. it feels like the tanking thing in baseball is bigger and more important than ever, and there's more teams who are in that category now. It's a problem. Because there's so many teams that had success with it, the last two World Series champions, I say, you know, the Cubs and Astros did it and did it as well as you could possibly do it. And the problem with baseball, you tank, you also get money out of it.

You get revenue sharing out of it. So, I mean, it's like a really, I mean, it's a real problem because now it's it's working. You get rewarded for it in the short term, too. That's the thing. Right. So it's like become a preferred method to build a champion. It's stealing. And in the short term, you actually make money out of it because of the revenue

sharing. So they got to do so about And in the short term, you actually make money out of it because of the revenue sharing.

So they got to do so about that because it feels like, you know, I mean, every year or two,

there's going to be a team that's just wretched, but it feels like now it's engineered.

I mean, Miami and Tampa are purposely trying to be at the bottom of the league here.
