Now, the show that Red Sox Nation turns to.

This is Boston's most listened to nightly baseball show.

The baseball reporter with Tony Mad.

Brought you by Rotter Federal Credit Union, Anderson McQuaid architectural moldings,

sweet with fat loss and Jordan's furniture.

On Boston's Home for Sports.

985, the Sports Hub.

All right. Welcome into the baseball reporters.

I'm going to ask our producer Jimmy Stewart to open up the phone lines right away. 617779-0985 is your number. Here's what we're going to do tonight because I obviously missed all the last week. So we're going to get caught up on just about anything and everything with the Red Sox and Major League Baseball. I have a few thoughts of things that took place over the weekend. David Price has returned to the mound yesterday in Tampa.

Alex Speer of the Globe had an interesting item on Raphael Devers today on Boston Globe.com.

There was also the Cleveland Indians clinching, the American League Central, which I want to get to a little later in the program.

But first, let me begin by telling you, the baseball reporters is brought to by Jackson, Lumber, and Millwork, supplying contractors

and homeowners with residential and commercial building materials since 1946.

You can check them out at Jacksonlumber.com.

Again, 617-779-0985.

I was out last week, as many of you know, because we lost my mother about nine

days ago. So that was actually eight days ago, September 10th, at our home here in the Boston

area, we were all there. So I'm going to defer commentary on that because I want to share some thoughts with everybody in just a little bit.

I don't want to start right out of the gate with that.

But I will get to what I promise because many of you reached out via email.

The showing here at the Sports Hub was absolutely tremendous.

So I want to get to that.
