Darnell McDonald had a short but memorable career with the Boston Red Sox, and now he gets to help call games for the team he loved with NESN!

NESN's Lauren Willand and Jake Ignaszewski welcome McDonald to the show to talk about his time with the Red Sox, his memorable walk-off single on the day he got called up, mentors around the clubhouse such as Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz, memories of the culture and so much more!

McDonald reveals what he's looking forward to the most as he gets set to make his debut in the NESN booth for this season. The mental aspect of the game also is talked about and McDonald has an important message for Bobby Dalbec and Jarren Duran -- who both will begin the 2023 MLB season with Triple-A Worcester.

Of course, McDonald reflects on playing for Bobby Valentine and how the culture during that season was much different than his other seasons.

Are the Boston Red Sox underrated this year?

NESN’s Lauren Willand and Jake Ignaszewski look at the Locked On power rankings for all 30 MLB teams this year. The Red Sox came in at No. 21 and the two wonder whether that’s too low, and also look at a few teams that were ranked higher than the Red Sox that probably should have been ranked a tad lower.

Lauren and Jake then look at Masataka Yoshida’s strong World Baseball Classic after Team Japan took down Team USA in the WBC championship game, and Chris Sale's latest spring training start.

Later, ESPN’s Eduardo Perez and Karl Ravech answered Jake’s question and they bring up the Red Sox as an underrated team.
