Is Felgrine Maize your favorite afternoon show?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

I wrote that Theo Epstein has been disappointed in Craig Breslo's pretty much a hard-blind analytics approach to building a front office, running the Red Sox and things along

those lines, because CO believes strongly in balance of data and technology and analytics

and all of that new school baseball stuff, which isn't so new anymore. It's been a couple

decades now.

And balance that with the human side and scouting and intangibles and things along those lines.

So for as much as we might think back on CO, especially young, brand new GM CEO.

He was never a numbers only or extreme on the numbers kind of guy.

He was always a balance in all types of information executive.

Despite that being 0304, the beginning of the money ball error and the Red Sox having a lot of success with that and benefiting from it in a lot of ways.

So as I reported, Theo's been just disappointed in the lack of balance with the modern-day Red Sox on that front.

Craig Brazzell could get it this weekend because John Henry tends to move on or make his big moves in and around failures against the New York Yankees. Yeah, they've been flashpoint moments for this team of the last decade plus. And, you know, some have been good last year. They sweep the Yankee six game winning streak, but then they trade Devers. But other than that, they've lost the Eurogrott swept and something's happened, whether he's hired Dave Dombrovsky, fired Dave Dombrovsky, fired Heimbloom in 2023, and then they got swept by the Yankees earlier this year, and Alex Cora, nearly the entire coaching staff has gone a few days later. So yes, I think this is Craig Bresdell gets fired weekend down on the Bronx. Okay, so that was Big Jemarie's opening take. He has a fresh take for five, or is it that? No, I got a fresh one. Fresh one. It's a knit to pick because I found myself watching the Stanley Cup final last night. And, you know, anytime they go, you know, in between the periods, they go back into the room, right? And it's, or they're at the stadium, and it's Mark Messier and why can't I remember his name? P.K. Suban? Well, I'll get to him in a second, but who's the other? Steve Levy. Steve Levy, Mark Messier, and P.K. Subbin. And I know when he's in studio, P.K. Suban, great, like, where are what you want. But Stanley Cup finals, this whole postseason run, it's really started to bother me.

I don't care.

This is old man yelling at the cloud. P.K. Subban. Great. Like, wear what you want. But Stanley Cup finals, this whole postseason run,

it's really started to bother me. I don't care. This is old man yelling at the cloud. It's the back of the old Sports Illustrated magazine, sign of the apocalypse. How is a producer? Jimmy Patero, who runs ESPN now, not called him up or sent him a text and say, stop dressing like an a hole. Last night, he looked like he was wearing something that was like my old grandmother's

couch.

Before that, like you tune in and it's like suit, suit, looking, he's dressed like a Shaolin

monk.

It's the Stanley Cup final.

They're supposed to have some weight to it.

You're in studio, midweek, fine.
