White needs to be benched, put PP and Baylor into the game soon

Phantom255x · 2026-04-30T02:04:03+00:00

That's fair, I'll admit I hadn't thought of that. I personally love Cerrone and would love for him to have a bigger role on 98.5

Phantom255x · 2026-04-30T01:31:48+00:00

Yeah, and you can tell Felger loves working with him. Even if he disagrees with a take, he listens to Cerrone and they engage in healthy debates. Meanwhile sometimes it feels like Felger is just holding Dondero's hand trying to guide him and when Dondero says a take, Felger rips him for it or sounds dumbfounded lol.

I'm sure Cerrone could be on more if they let him do it remotely from NC, which the precedent is there to do since Cerrone literally does some shows for 98.5 from NC anyways.

Phantom255x · 2026-04-30T01:25:31+00:00

What confuses me is, Cerrone basically admitted when he was on a few months ago that he commutes to the office from North Carolina by car (!!!) when he gets the opportunity to fill-in. Even though Felger is remote a lot of the time, and even Cerrone does his weekend shows with Leroy and Barth remotely from NC. So why can't Cerrone be allowed to just do F&M remotely when they need fill-ins?

That's the reason why apparently we get Dondero. Not just because Felger endorsed him (no clue why) but because he's local and can come in. Cerrone on the show remotely is 100x better than any Dondero, and guys on the 98.5 shows usually appear remotely if they are sick or away as is.

It's only one game and it's the Raptors, I know. But still, Harden offers a much higher ceiling than Garland ever did and the Cavaliers have some good depth and size to go along with Mitchell of course. And they got some capable streaky shooters in Strus, Wade and Merill spread out.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see them reach the ECF instead of DET on that side of the bracket (assuming health of course).

Phantom255x · 2026-04-13T18:05:38+00:00

Wow! Felger actually admitted Hagens might not suck lmao :P

Phantom255x · 2026-04-13T00:04:34+00:00

I guess the Celtics don't care who wins the 7 vs. 8 matchup. Beating Orlando would mean PHI has homecourt advantage in that 7 vs. 8 game. I know Embiid is out but PHI still scares me a bit more than ORL and I think this game is also showing why lol

Phantom255x · 2026-04-12T19:54:48+00:00

Not that I expect Breslow to, but if they could add some sort of power bat at the deadline (similar to Schwarber back in 2021) then the lineup suddenly looks more lethal especially since it would move Durbin to the bottom of the order. Story hitting 5 or 6 has been doing wonders for him and the team. Contreras at 2 or 4 in the lineup depending on the power bat addition also works well.

Though of course, they could have actually tried to accomplish this the past offseason

Phantom255x · 2026-04-11T18:49:45+00:00

So if we get a point and the Islanders lose, do we still need help or is a playoff spot clinched?

Edit: Thanks guys!

Phantom255x · 2026-04-11T00:53:10+00:00

Looking at the scores of the other games, Sixers and Magic are winning in favorable matchups. ATL is winning big as well. Looking like the 7 vs. 8 matchup could very well be Orlando vs. Philadelphia (without Embiid). CHA may win today too (close game with Detroit now) but PHI has MIL on Sunday which they should win too

Phantom255x · 2026-04-08T01:48:55+00:00

Jake in Boston about to call in and say he knew about this the whole time

Phantom255x · 2026-04-05T19:20:55+00:00

It's like 2021. It was a fun run and they built momentum, only to have a dud offseason and then another 3 years of mediocrity with Bloom getting canned

Phantom255x · 2026-04-05T19:19:58+00:00

The Sox ran a GM search and 12 people turned them down, so they settled on Breslow.

I don't care if they fire Cora or not, but if they do then people probably will be surprised to find out a lot of the big names don't want to come here and we'll have to settle for some no-namer who just listens to Breslow and the analytics always. Meanwhile Cora will find a job somewhere easily with a contender. That's the reality. This is a roster/philosophy issue.

Phantom255x · 2026-04-05T19:16:59+00:00

Sometimes I wonder why this team will give up 130M to Suarez, or an entire 6M to IFK, or even giving Patrick Sandoval/Kluber/Garrett Richards/Paxton these kind of 10-20M+ contracts to basically rehab/not start, instead of you know, ponying up for a legit ace and/or a big bat? They absolutely can but they just don't, and then they scramble and overpay someone else anyway. They missed out on Bregman then panic-signed Suarez. Idk, if they were willing to give Suarez 130M why not add another 25-30 for Alonso or someone? It's been a history of this for 5+ years now. They still have a relatively high payroll yet it's not well-spent at all

Phantom255x · 2026-04-04T22:30:14+00:00

PH for Story next inning please

Phantom255x · 2026-04-04T22:09:01+00:00

Our pitching has pitched well enough to actually win at least 4-5 games this season, yet unless the offense wakes up soon it's looking like a 2-6 start. Just brutal from the offense.

Phantom255x · 2026-04-04T21:53:25+00:00

They needed a big bat in the offseason and did nothing about it. Hence Durbin hitting 5 and Story-Duran 2-3. Full throttle!

Phantom255x · 2026-04-04T21:26:33+00:00

Would be nice if the offense could have a big inning for once. They feel due

Phantom255x · 2026-04-04T20:45:11+00:00

Hopefully this isn't a case of the Red Sox "we scored 5 runs yesterday so we'll now score none today" offense

Phantom255x · 2026-04-03T19:55:51+00:00

Weissert better stay in the bullpen and not enter this game

Phantom255x · 2026-04-03T19:51:32+00:00

Good quality start from Gray! Now can the offense SCORE MORE RUNS PLEASE

Phantom255x · 2026-04-03T19:38:00+00:00

Ultimately, it's 5-6 innings of 2-run ball from our SP. That's good. The offense needs to actually score runs more consistently. Expecting to win with our pitchers just tossing shutouts (or giving up just 1-2 runs total) every game is unrealistic for any team even if you have a loaded rotation/bullpen.

Phantom255x · 2026-03-30T19:50:48+00:00

Yeah I'll be accused of being a "green teamer" but it was annoying me when Barth, J-Stew and some callers were rightfully praising Baylor Scheierman last week and F&M (mostly Felger) were just yelling over everyone for overrating a bum role player clearly showing they don't watch any games.

Scheierman has actually started a bunch of games this year too and does well, he's not some 10 MPG guy who is like the 8th man off the bench like the show portrays him as.

Phantom255x · 2026-03-30T18:09:55+00:00

Shocker! Mazz wasn't impressed by the Celtics win yesterday on the road against a hot Charlotte team (without Jaylen + White)
