Episode Summary

Nick Face filled in for Jim Dalfino after the Red Sox got obliterated 8–1 by the Braves, and the crew absolutely unloaded on Brayan Bello, Craig Breslow, Trevor Story, and the entire direction of the organization. The show centered around Bello’s latest disaster start, the offense continuing to disappear for weeks at a time, and the growing frustration with how the Red Sox are handling Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony. Thayer Doyle questioned whether Breslow has any clue what he’s doing, John Martinello called Peyton Toley the most exciting player on the team, and everyone agreed this roster currently feels lifeless and mentally broken. They also debated Trevor Story’s future, possible Aroldis Chapman trade destinations, Roman Anthony’s endless injury delays, and previewed the upcoming Royals series with about as much optimism as a rain delay at a funeral.

Takeaways

* Brayan Bello got torched again and the crew thinks the “starter experiment” may officially be dead.

* Thayer blasted Craig Breslow and called the organizational direction “malpractice.”

* Peyton Toley continues to emerge as the lone bright spot in the rotation.

* Trevor Story landing on the IL opened the door for more Marcelo Mayer shortstop talk.

* The panel believes Roman Anthony has been set up to fail by the organization.

* John Martinello floated a conspiracy theory that the offense is intentionally rebelling against Breslow.

* The Red Sox offense has become “unwatchable” and continues failing to score early in games.

* Aroldis Chapman was discussed as Boston’s best remaining trade chip.

* The crew questioned whether the Red Sox are mentally preparing prospects for MLB life.

* Predictions for the Royals series were… let’s say “not hopeful.”
