We have a show to do today.

The whole new acronym thing, drive me effing pen.

Can we call him by his name?

Shelver and Man, 198, the Sports Hub.

Okay, so you think there were too many guys here when someone's got to go?

Yeah, I think that it would be hard pressed to find a fan that disagrees with that. I think when, especially when the explanation after, you know, Roman got the day off after the day off, and you ask, why is that? You know, he's supposed to be the best player on the team. He's 21 years old. Why would he have a day off after the day off? And if the response is, well, that's the outfield rotation. Well, I think the outfield rotation sucks.

I think that that's a very dumb thing if, you know, we're sticking to a plan that has the best player on the team sitting on the bench the day after and off day. Who do you blame for that, Jared? Breslow. Yeah. I mean, that had to have been addressed. And I'm not saying that he should have rushed into a deal where, you know, it's unequivocally the Red Sox, the losers of that trade, not telling him how to do his job.

But there had to be a way to fix this roster crunch.

And I know that they tried, even into spring training, they tried to pull off the ESOC

Parades trade. I would feel a little bit more strongly about it if the Astros ended up trading Parades somewhere else. He's still with the Astros. It takes two to tango. I'm not saying they didn't try. But at some point, you have to get creative and figure it out. Hi, we're brought to by the Drafking Sportsbook here on 985 of Sports.

I'm FM dial in Boston simulcast, beams across New England and the country on NBC Sports, Boston.

That's presented by Supercuts, Real Smart Here.

Thought we'd start off with some Red Sox and play some Jared Carabas cuts from last night's baseball hour with Maz.

Every Wednesday you can catch Karabas on with Tony here on the 6 to 7 hour,

the baseball hour here on Felger and Maz.

And so I thought we'd start with a couple of items related to that outfield.

But that cut, just that piece before I get into some of the individual outfielders he was referencing there,

that piece in and of itself, Maz.

Is that your biggest second guest for Craig Breslow with this season?

Yes, absolutely, 100%.

I mean, you know, along with the right-handed bat, but I think they go hand in hand.

And when I say that, I mean, they have had a glut of left-handed hitting outfielders for a while now. And I would tell you that the prospects they've had in the system, save for Craig Campbell, all left-handed. Marcel O'Mears and infielder, but he bats left-handed. Kyle Teal, when they had him a catcher, bats left-handed. Kassas, who's not here, bats left-handed, Argyzstan, Yoshida, Roman
