In this surprise and spontaneous episode, Joey returns to his old stomping grounds of the WZBC Sports studio before his Yawkey League baseball game in Brighton. He breaks down his thoughts on the Red Sox’s first half of the season, with a deep dive into the good and the bad of their first 91 games of the year. Joey analyzes the positive notes that have helped the Sox be in the American League Wild Card hunt, such as Brayan Bello’s excellence on the mound, the development of Jarren Duran, and Justin Turner’s hot streak. He talks about the looming MLB Trade Deadline on August 1 and mentions the possibility of the Angels trading Shohei Ohtani. At the end, he contemplates whether or not Chaim Bloom and Alex Cora’s jobs will be safe at the end of the season.
