| 0:00.0 | Now, the show the Red Sox Nation turns to first. |
| 0:05.9 | This is Boston's most listened to nightly baseball show. |
| 0:09.3 | The baseball reporter with Tony Mad. |
| 0:11.8 | Brought you by Rotter Federal Credit Union, New England fat loss, and Jordan's furniture. |
| 0:15.5 | On Boston's home for sports, 985, the Sports Hub. |
| 0:23.2 | Okay, let's get this part out of the way here, right out of the shoot. |
| 0:26.1 | Baseball reporters is brought to you by Jackson Lumber and Millworks, |
| 0:30.1 | supplying contractors and homeowners with residential and commercial building material since |
| 0:34.8 | 1946. |
| 0:36.3 | You can check them out at Jacksonlumber.com. And candidly, that's not just lip service. I've shopped there. That place is absolutely fabulous. So check it out. Jacksonlumber.com. 617779.0985 is our number here on the baseball reporters, as is the case every Tuesday. Jared Carabas. Barstool Sports is alongside. He'll be with us for the next hour. |

| 1:25.8 | That's tomorrow night. |

You're going to get innings, obviously, when Porcelo pitches, you're going to get innings when sale pitches, so why have them go back to back? ultimately means you're going to tax your bullpen for three days, so that makes a lot of sense. And Hector Velasquez apparently now will start for the Red Sox on Thursday in Oakland, 28-year-old. I think he was signed as a minor league free agent. Yeah. And just again, this is the guy who pitched in spring training and pitched pretty well, and |
| 2:02.7 | then his arm flared up. |
| 2:04.0 | Apparently, he's been doing pretty well at Pawtucket. |
