The Boston Red Sox picked up another big win over the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night, but it was another interesting outing for starter Brayan Bello. On Wednesday’s Felger and Mazz, Jim Murray gave his thoughts on Bello and how he lacks mental toughness.  

Jim Murray: Brayan Bello. I don’t trust him. And I can’t be alone in saying I question his mental toughness. It doesn’t take much for this kid to fall completely off the beam. 5th inning, when it’s 3-1, the second out is a shot down the first baseline, which Dom Smith actually for a tubby guy makes kind of an athletic play, gets turned around and Bello has to run to first, they get the second out. Then Bello comes back to the mound and it’s like the gathering of the masses. In comes Wong, the infield comes in, and they were saying to the broadcast like, “oh, he’s just trying to get his breath”. Like, dude, how? How old are you. And at that point I thought, I wish I wasn’t so lazy, I would’ve got my phone and made live bets, I go “he’s going to implode” and he imploded. Next batter, home run. Then a Bobby Witt single, all of a sudden. Bing bang boom. It’s a 3-3 game. It doesn’t take much. We’ve seen his before Mazz, you so much as breathe on Brayan Bello and it all goes to crap for this kid. No mental toughness.  

Mazz: When Bello did get back on the mound, and Murray’s right, home run, single, double, walk, Cora came out and yanked him. Like that’s the other thing is Cora saw it because he’s seen it before. Cora said, “here we go. Here we go. It’s coming apart. He’s losing it fast. Getting him out of there.”

16 Best New England vacation spots, according to Felger

On Friday’s Felger & Mazz program, Mike Felger gives his list of best summer vacation spots in New England.

Felger Vacation Tiers

Mike Felger is well-traveled over the New England area. Many know of his love for the Island of Nantucket, but as it turns out, he’s been to more vacation spots in New England than you’d think. 

On Thursday’s show, the first of August, Felger and “Big Jim” Murray did a remote broadcast from The Faregrounds Restaurant on Nantucket. And it only seemed right for the guys to rank their best summer vacation spots. And while Murray and Matt McCarthy—stuck back at the Town Fair Tire Studios in Waltham—chimed in, Felger wanted everyone to know that these are his Tiers. Nobody else’s. 

From time to time, Felger can be seen doing remote broadcasts from his backyard in Nantucket. Thursday’s event, however, was a little more dressed up as Heineken Silver sponsored the broadcast. And the Faregrounds are known to be a regularly frequented spot by Felger.  

Jim Murray, on the other hand, is less privy to the secrets of Nantucket. He did take the pro move by taking a flight to the island, though. Typically, many passengers will take a one- to two-hour ferry to Nantucket. 

But flying regionally out of a local New England airport will get you to the Island in a mere 20-30 minutes. Felger was almost too scared to share this secret on the air, as he was afraid too many people would find out about this ultimate life hack.

And now… Mike Felger’s ultimate list of best New England Vacation spots, going from worst to best…
