Now, the show that is all baseball.

They're better than they were a year ago.

This is the baseball hour with Tony Madge.

Brought to you by Jackson Lumber and Militwork, Bigelotee, Gravely Zero Turned lawnmowers, Zing Zongtale Cactus,

Win Waste Innovations, and Woodbridge Wines.

On Boston's Home for Sports, 985, the Sports Hub.

Brings up Matt Olson.

It's been a little trouble tonight with a double and a single.

He's gone two for four.

Swung on and missed struck him out and the Red Sox wrap it up.

They beat Atlanta.

Nine to four, Shriver, really good.

Rafi Devers with a grand slam and the Red Sox make it work to end a five-game losing skit. Whoa, a win for the Red Sox. How about that? It's been a minute. Feels a little better, doesn't it? Red Sox Nation. Hi, how you doing? It is the baseball hour. Better known at this time of year is the baseball half hour.

No Tony Maz tonight.

He's out.

So you get me, Matt McCarthy.

Sorry about that. Tell you what, Jimmy. Why don't we open the phone lines right now? 617-779-0-985. You want to talk some socks? we've got 26 minutes to do it, if my math is correct,

as we lead you up until Celtics and Bucks game five tonight at the Garden.

So this is your opportunity to talk Red Sox. And if you're bum that you don't get to do it with Mazz and you get to do it with me, I have good news for you because we have somebody that you do want to talk to. That would be Jared Karabas from Draft Kings. You know him as the host of the Jared Karabas podcast and baseball is dead. More importantly, he is my tribal chief and I acknowledge him. Hi, Jared. How you doing? Thank you for acknowledging me. That was important before I said anything. I'm excited. I'm excited for the show because I feel like there's a lot of things we have to talk about today that things are happening right now now. Yeah, and that you're referencing Zander Bogarts are some rumors around Zander Bogart and we'll get to that because I think that really speaks the big picture with the Red Sox right now, Jared, and I'm kind of fascinated to get your opinion on that. But why don't we talk about the here and now first and foremost? Just because you and I haven't talked yet this baseball season,

are you concerned that this Red Sox season is over yes or no? Like, how do you feel about the state

of the Boston Red Sox right now? No, I don't think it's over. I don't, in me saying that I don't

think that it's over, that's not me saying that I think that they can still make the playoffs.
