Criticism and Accountability

We've been catching some heat on the pod for not criticizing the team and holding them accountable, so that's exactly what we do in this episode. Jared debuts a brand new segment where everyone has to say something bad about the Red Sox. It's tough that we've gotten to this point but at the end of the day when you're playing bad you're playing bad. We're not giving up on the season yet and this is still a team come September that could be in the mix, but you have to acknowledge a bad start when you see one. We talk about Story's lackluster start to the year, Verdugo falling off a cliff, poor offensive numbers for pretty much everyone besides Xander and JD, the bullpen being disastrous as of late, and whole bunch more fun stuff. Pete is now 0-4 on the year which also sucks. Jared previews the upcoming matchups against the White Sox and talks about going to Fenway with Tyler and Jake this weekend. There's also free {name redacted} podcast merch on the line for anyone who asks Jake for his first picture. Let's try and uh, win some games! Enjoy!
