This looks like a clinic on how not to do things on the baseball field.

Now, the show that Red Sox Nation turns to.

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

The Baseball Reporter's with Tony Mazz.

Brought to you by Big White Grocery Store, Team Mobile, Needham Bank,

Boston's home for sports, 985, the Sports Hub. I don't feel that's the reason.

You know, we've been talking about it the whole time, and we don't feel it's a shoulder.

His mechanics were way off in the first outing.

Probably they got better, and then all of a sudden, you know, last one it wasn't there but we don't feel

it has to do anything we shoulder so that's the latest from alex core redsox manager on

chrisale obviously talking about that shoulder where he is and what the cause for or what the

cause is rather for the drop in velocity and sale on the mound the other night against the Baltimore Orioles. That's where we're going to start tonight, or really as it pertains to the Red Sox pitching staff as a whole. 617-779-0-985 is your number here on the baseball reporters. We'll open up the phone lines right away and remind you quickly that the baseball reporters is brought to by Mohegan Sun. Unlimited possibilities await

you at Mohegan Sun plan your stay at Mohegan Sun.com. So thanks to our friends of Mohegan

Sun. Again, 617779-0985. If you listen to this program last night, you know that I'm worried about the

of the Red Sox pitching staff as a whole. And Sale obviously is a central part of that. The

Red Sox tried to bring him back in Baltimore a couple of months ago. Sale came out of the gate

thrown 99 miles an hour. I think he finished that day at 68 pitches or somewhere thereabouts and then

went right back on the disabled list. So obviously now, Sale has not back to the level that we

were accustomed to seeing in the middle of the year. And one of the reasons that the Red Sox

approached it this year with Sale the way they did. And that was start slowly, build up, get him to a point in the middle of the season, save

pitches, save bullets, save us, so that he would have his legs and his power in September.

That was the whole idea.
