Felger & Mazz: September 4, 2013
Hour 1
Felger and Massarotti are broadcasting from the Ace Ticket Studio and opened the day discussing the Boston Red Sox and last night's 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. Felger says last night was a "Big Boy" win and a "Big Boy" performance by Jon Lester. Does manager John Farrell deserve a little more credit for how he has handled the bullpen? With the experience that he has, should David Ross be the catcher in the playoffs? Felger and Mazz went on the talk about the success of closer Koji Uehara. Uehara earned his 17th save last night and has not allowed a run in his last 25 innings. Is Uehara the Sox M.V.P. this year? Finally, the guys poked a little fun at the NESN broadcast.
In Hour 2, Felger and Mazz continued to talk some Red Sox and the reasons for the turnaround. The Sox have the best record in the American League at 83-57. What have been some of the keys to the Sox success this season? Is Jon Lester the team's playoff ace?
