We Need A Closer

After a promising start to the short series in Atlanta, the Red Sox found a way to blow Game 2 and come out of the series with a split. The Red Sox are technically still undefeated with beardless Cora (since he got ejected in the sixth inning of Game 2), but a horrendous missed call and lack of reliable relievers spoiled what could've been a turning point for this team. Instead, they drop the second game and lose another contest that seemingly could've been won if they had a legit closer. Jared talks about what the Red Sox' record could look like if they had a legitimate closer since day one. Pat rejoins the show after a short hiatus for the Kentucky Derby (which was held in Kentucky this year), and talks about how if a few ball/strike calls went his way he could still be in the league today. He also explains that the Red Sox' attitude about this series will play a huge factor going into the series against the Rangers this weekend. We also talk about JBJ potentially being a better hitter than Kiké right now, the Bogaerts to the Cardinals rumors, who should be getting more looks for the ninth inning role, and pitching matchups against the Rangers this weekend. Pat also dives into his Kentucky Derby experience and ranks it amongst other live sporting events he's been to.
