We have a show to do today.

The whole new acronym thing drives me effing pen in.

Can we call him by his wing?

Shelver and Man.

On 985, the Sports Hub.

Let's go.

My question would be, is it better now than it was at the beginning of last year?

Sure.

I don't know what we get out of trying to compare, you know, a roster

before we played a game with one that finished a season. We're trying to build as competitive

a roster as we can, and I think there's a lot of things that go into that. I think we're going

to pitch really, really well, I think improved infield defense, you know, and a lot of offensive upside. But to talk about at this point, I'm not sure it does a lot of good. We're going to get evaluated based on how the season goes, and we understand that. I love that one, Maz. We're going to start off talking some baseball here on Felger and Maserati. Come to you on Thursday, February the 12th. I come to you from the remote A-hole chair location. Mazumurie in our town fair tire studios in Wallfam. As always, we're brought you by the Draft King Sportsbook here on 985, the Sportsup Simulcast, where we beam across New England and the country. It's brought you by Supercuts, real smart hair. That one was rich. Are you better or worse than you were last year?

Well, I don't know what it really means or what the value is in comparing one year to the next.

I don't know what we get out of trying to compare a roster before we played a game.

Maz, let me ask you something.

If the Red Sox were better, how would he answer that question?

Oh, he'd say we think we've improved tremendously.

We're ready to begin the season and we're chasing a championship.

Simplest thing.

I mean, I don't even know about that the last three quarters of your statement.

But do you think you're better than you were last year?

Yeah.
