Are The Red Sox Good? with Rob Bradford

About this episode

Jake Iggy and Rob Bradford discuss the current state of the Red Sox, including player performances and team needs.

Jake Iggy is joined by the host of Baseball Isn't Boring and Red Sox writer/broadcaster for WEEI, Rob Bradford, to discuss everything going on with the Red Sox over the last week. Jake and Rob start by talking about the leadership that Willson Contreras has shown to start the season and how the team has needed more energy. They then try to figure out what happened to Garrett Crochet against the Twins after he allowed 11 runs in his last outing and discuss when other pitchers like Patrick Sandoval, Tommy Kahnle, and Kutter Crawford will join the team. Lastly, they talk about pressing topics like whether this team has enough offense, Triston Casas's injury update, and what needs to happen for the team to get back on track.
