Do you hear that mask?

I did.

I heard it.

You got first place.

That's correct.

Yep, they're finally in first place.

First place.

Okay.

Do you, and now acknowledge that? Yes, yep, they're in first place. So you fully accept that. I fully accept it. Okay. They're a half game in front. Sox are going to start here in about, I don't know, 15 minutes or so. So why don't we do some Red Sox up until first pitch?

If you all out there want to weigh in on the Red Sox now

is your one little sliver of a chance to do it,

617-779. So why don't we do some Red Sox up until first pitch? If you all out there want to weigh in on the Red Sox now is your one little sliver of a chance to do it?

617-779-0-98-Mas. Are you pleased that they're in first place? Last time it was a good win for them. They had to win that game because with Sale on the mound against that Kansas City team, that was their best shot. So, you know, you got Velasquez going in the opener.

In retrospect, they had a better chance to win that game than a lot of people would have given them credit for.

And they were short on the bench, as we all know. And so they made a couple of adjustments. And Marrero had an impact on that game last night. Travis made a contribution in that game last night. So to me, there was validation, or an acknowledgement, at least, from them, that they had a bad bench the night before. They adjusted, sale went out, and it was a good matchup for him, Kansas City. It's a team that swings aggressively. You're able to get 92 pitches, eight innings, I think it was, or 92 pitches, I think, was the number after eight. I have no idea why he went back out there for the ninth. Whoops. So, okay, they sent him out for the ninth. Yes. Eight to one, was it? Yes. Eight to three? Eight to one at the time. And he couldn't get through the ninth, as it was. And so I just look at it and say, and our buddy on Twitter at Boston Sports Inf, because once again, he couldn't fit the O into his handle.

I know I told him to go boss, but.

So it's Boston Sports Inf.

Tweeted out that Chris Sale has thrown more pitches than anybody in the American League.

It might have been more than anybody in baseball.

I read the tweet quickly.

And so I see that and say,

so that's a night where you can get them out of there. That's a night where you can get
