Felger on Craig Breslow: He's Not The Guy - Felger & Mazz - 11-2-23

Felger and Mazz discuss the Boston Red Sox hiring of Craig Breslow as their new General Manager and Felger talks about how he doesn't think Breslow is the guy for the job.

[@chuzzrocket]

This is so hilarious!!!! Thank you Felgz, Mazz and Murray for this. Unbelievably funny!

[@Thatscrazy92]

Breslow actually played the game and was an effective reliever for multiple years. Who’s Felger to criticize how he talks 😂

[@chrish2112]

He sounds like a guy at a friggen yacht club. You're clueless.

[@conor2439]

How does being a slightly above average 6th and 7th inning reliever correlate with running a front office?

[@jeffpolidor8041]

You guys are just complaining that he’s smart and speaks like someone who went to college

[@YTparodyrap]

But he didn't use specific examples and avoided any questions about fixing/adding to the current roster.

[@JEBossTon92]

@@YTparodyrapbecause free agency hasn’t even started yet. He was asked directly about Shohei Ohtani maybe 5 times today that I’ve seen in all of the press coverage. It’s smart of him to do so. Beyond that, I’m sure there are rules regarding speculating or tampering and such.

They went to college too lol Felger went to BU and Mazz went to Tufts. Source: Wikipedia

[@YTparodyrap]

@@nikm4253 so did Chaim Bloom. Being smart doesn't make you good at this job automatically

[@Tmillea]

Last time I saw a rookie GM this confident… Theo

[@eddymahon1503]

Sounds pretty intelligent. Couldn’t have taken many “head shots” playing. That’s why football types can’t string together too many nerd words

[@YTparodyrap]

He didn't mention any specifics though, and teetered around the big questions by not specifically recognizing key players

[@it1988a]

It's baseball! Not a Harvard thesis.

[@Cblan1224]

This was freaking hilarious And very sad

[@jeffbacon4933]

What i never understand from any of these owners... you already won "the game". Youre RICH and always going to be.. who cares if you lose .1 or .2 off a billion. You're gonna die still.. enjoy your team spend the ceiling or get out and some other rich prick might

[@haroldthefrog]

OMG HE SAYS BIG WORDS!! NOT THE GUY!!

[@joshbalulu2582]

Why?? Give him a chance.. Boston radio are always a hate

[@SauceBoss127]

Even if he pieces together a somewhat decent effective pitching staff I'll be good with that, the offense is gonna come with devers, story, masa, casas, etc. The pitching is atrocious so hopefully he'll figure it out.

[@YTparodyrap]

He was the only choice, as embarrassing as that sounds. I agree with them on that, but i do think it was worth siging him. He has enough playing and executive experience to do at least better than Chaim Bloom

[@Anthony__420]

First of all these same guys hated the Theo Epstein choice when Henry and gang bought the team. How did that workout?

[@zeked4200]

They weren't on the air in 2001 when Henry bought the team or in 2004 (edit: 2002) when Theo was hired. I'm pretty sure Felger was still a beat reporter for the Patriots, so I highly doubt he had that strong of a take on either of those things. Mazz on the other hand...you may be right about 😂 Either way, none of that has anything to do with whether Breslow is the guy or not. "Theo worked out fine, so Breslow will too" - That's your best argument for Breslow? That's kind of weak...

[@josephamato2031]

I have a feeling this video won't age well 😅

[@EL_LeonFredo9]

Not a human being 😂

[@keithmaysles1928]

Breslow is just a big dork

[@JEBossTon92]

And you’re clearly a basic baseball fan… educate yourself and what he did in his baseball career and what he did in the Cubs front office.

[@HashHyped]

i’m 💯 with Felger , this dude ain’t it

[@miguelespinal2889]

Who cares what he sounds like? The guy was on the 2013 World Series Champs Redsoxs team and probably knows a thing or two on what winning looks like plus he was with the cubs front office and helped build their farm system with pitching talent, at least wait and see what moves he makes in the off-season before you start criticizing f-ing crybabies.

[@DSlav2488]

I agree that breslow probably isn't the guy. I wanted Stearns, but he went to the Mets

[@markpeterson03275]

He sounds like Mark Zuckerberg

[@stevedeame3276]

Zuckerberg created Facebook. He’s worth billions. I’m fine with that

[@nnis75]

What is wrong with having an expansive vocabulary? We are growing dumber by the day.

[@johnlucier8572]

Red sox will be last again next year..watch. need to get rid of Cora and then work on a good manager for this team, otherwise forget it. More 9f much of the same..

[@chrish2112]

You're a disabled person if you think the manager is the problem. Stop talking.

[@devinberry4472]

Name 5 managers better than Cora

[@dansullivan6825]

Baseball viewership is falling off a cliff. The league is in managed decline mode and have the right commissioner at the helm. ai balls and strike calls to go along with ai GMs anyone?
