Now, the show that Red Sox Nation turns to

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

The baseball reporter with Tony Mazz.

Brought you by Rockland Federal Code Union, Anderson McQuade, architectural moldings,

sweetened fat loss, and Jordan's furniture.

On Boston's Home for Sports, 985, the Sports Hub.

Okay, so here's what we're going to do.

If you want to get beyond that Patriots, Loss,

I'll talk baseball for the next hour here on the baseball reporter.

6177790985.

I'll ask our producer Jimmy Stewart to open up the phone lines right away.

And remind you that the baseball reporters is brought to by Jackson, Lumber, and Millworks,

supplying contractors and homeowners with residential and commercial building materials since

1946.

One more time, 617-779098-5. We drove open lines. And we're going to get to Jared Krabba's here, Barstool Sports, who was going to join us earlier in the week. If you remember this, Jim Murray, we were going to have Jared on by phone. We had trouble connecting with him. And then Jimmy Stewart said to me, well, Jared's going to be in sound this weekend. What about Friday? In studio, like we usually had him here earlier in the

year. So

Jared joins us now. The obvious place for me to start with you is. The whole Red Sox, Yankees,

Apple Watch, dugout camera, spying nonsense. I honestly have not read anything you've written on this topic. Don't take it personally. It's been an unusual week for me. Sure. But where do you generally stand on the whole thing? Oh, that it's blown out of proportion. And you kind of look at what the penalty is going to be and that the league is calling it a slap on the wrist. That's because it's not that big of a deal. Like, I think that the general reaction to this, especially from the Yankee fan side of things, is, oh, the Red So, why are they cheaters? And if you ask, you know, 9 out of 10 Yankee fans would be, oh, because they were stealing signs. Stealing signs is not illegal. It's how they were stealing signs. And the whole Apple watch, that's just lazy to to me. The Red Sox should be punished more for being stupid and lazy than for cheating because stealing signs has been a part of the game for as long as signs have been a part of the game. So I think it was blown out of proportion. So without being the honk you are that I know you to be, who do you blame for the thing? John Farrell, because it happened under his watch.

No pun intended.

Jimmy, did you get to him before you got him on the air?

Oh, we had a long discussion.
