And now, the show that's all about baseball.

That's when the game to me is at its best.

This is the baseball hour with Tony Mass.

I promise official I vitamin of the Boston Red Sox,

gravely zero-turned lawnmowers and Window World.

On Boston's home for sports, 985, the Sports Hub.

A month ago, we didn't even know who was going to play for us.

And throughout the series, you know, they took players out of the roster because of where we were.

But like I said before, I think those four games put us in a great spot.

You know, the first two games, although we lost, those kids that came up, they reset our bullpen.

It was pretty taxed.

And then, you know, we played some kids that nobody expected us to play, and they played the defense of the middle, and we've been in the last two games.

So I know they won the season series, but... us to play and they play good defense up the middle and we've been in the last two games.

So I know they won the season series, but if you look at the games, you know, it's a 1-0 game with a wild pitch in the 9th and in.

There was a sun ball at Fenway when we were up 7-1.

So I know they're really good.

They have a great team.

Coming into the season, a lot of people thought that they were the best team in the big leagues, but we feel we have a good team. And we're here. We'll show up, we'll play, and see where to take us. But a lot different than a month ago. Wow, way, way different. to Alex Cora, Red Sox manager asked yesterday during workout day about the differences in the Red Sox today as they begin game one of the division series against the Tampa Bay Rays versus just a few weeks ago.

If you remember, the Red Sox played down in Tampa, lost the first two games of the series.

We're in the midst of a COVID outbreak. and that goes back to really the beginning of September. September 1st and 2nd, the Red Sox played in Tampa in the final two games of a four-game series. They won them both. They had lost the first two games of the series. Murray, do you remember that? Do you remember Brad Peacock pitching for the Red Sox? No, vaguely.

Okay, so that was right around the time. I think I took the nail.
