Jordan and Isiah recap another series loss for the Boston Red Sox, who fall to 7-11 on the season. It was a historically bad start for Garrett Crochet, with Sonny Gray following up with a not-so impressive outing as well. Connelly Early salvaged the weekday series with six strong innings, as Trevor Story plates five runs. The story, however, was Jarren Duran's antics again. Jordan and Isiah recap that and give their thoughts on Duran's history with fans, as well his fit with the Red Sox and the awkwardness of them keeping all their outfielders.

The weekend crew gets after it following another Boston Red Sox series win. Ranger got back on track, as did Bello. Also... offense? The lineup, despite a dud in Game 1 and nothing from Roman Anthony in the final two games, scored 16 runs across the final two games. They set a new season-high in runs twice. Willson Contreras is a beast. Are we happy with how the offseason played out if it was Bregman OR Ranger and Contreras?

Derrik and Hunter are back for another episode of MiLB Talk, this week with Nate Wollenhaupt joining the show. They start with the dominance of Worcester’s offense, the big bounce back start of Payton Tolle, and Jake Bennett’s dominance. John Holobetz was a lone bright spot in Portland. Justin Gonzales might be the best player of all-time, and Greenville’s pitching is ridiculously exciting. Salem had more fireworks than expected, getting us pretty excited.

Marathon episode for the weekday crew despite the Boston Red Sox losing their third series in a row to open the 2026 season. Sonny Gray was great in Game 1, Connelly Early less so in Game 2, Ranger Suarez even less so in Game 3. The offense showed some signs of life, but not good enough to win the series against an equally slow-starting San Diego Padres team. The trio talk about local food spots, lobstah poutine, and possible solutions to the problems surrounding this team through nine games. They may be fine, but good teams don't start 2-7.

Matt, Isiah, and Jordan recap briefly the Boston Red Sox series against the Houston Astros. There wasn’t a whole lot to discuss, as it was more of the same of what went wrong against the Reds. Pitching wasn’t good enough, the offense sputtered, but Wilyer Abreu and Connor Wong hit really well. The trio talks road trip snacks, lobster poutine, and the 9 and 9 in 9 challenge before previewing the inaugural home series against the San Diego Padres.
