Locked On Red Sox - Daily Podcast On The Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox have had better weekends.

After winning in thrilling extra-inning fashion Friday in a 5-4 victory over the New York Yankees, Boston dropped the next two games to officially close out the second half of the 2022 MLB season. But more than losing another series to another AL East opponent, the Red Sox also lost Chris Sale in the first inning of Sunday's game after getting hit with a 106-mph comebacker that broke his pinky finger on his left hand.

NESN's Lauren Campbell recaps the weekend and what Sale's injury could mean for the Red Sox at the Aug 2. MLB trade deadline. Lauren also looks at who the Red Sox selected in this year's MLB Draft and why no one should panic because they selected two shortstops.

In this episode of our segment called the Farm Report, Connor Wong joins Massachusetts Pirates Team Insider Jake Ignaszewski to talk about what's helped him have so much success at the plate in Worcester, what he's currently working on, favorite hobbies outside of baseball and more!

Connor Wong was a part of the trade package sent to the Red Sox in the Mookie Betts trade with the Dodgers and has been playing with the Worcester Red Sox this season. Wong has seen time in the majors last season and this season but has mainly made an impact in AAA so far. His production at the plate has massively improved from last season to this season which has mixed well with his stellar defense. Wong's current future with the Red Sox is unknown at the moment but he could be a replacement candidate for Christian Vazquez or Kevin Plawecki in 2023.

Red Sox struggles continue against AL East teams and that showed as the Sox get swept by the Rays in 3 games. All three phases were sloppy in this series and those mistakes really hurt the Sox when it mattered. Things continue to get worse for this team as injuries continue to pile up but luckily some of their most reliable rotation arms are coming back for the series against the Yankees.

Massachusetts Pirates Team Insider Jake Ignaszewski breaks down the tough losses on Wednesday and Thursday and tries to find some positives about each game. On Thursday, Kutter Crawford had a masterful outing through six innings but things blew up in the 7th. Iggy gives insight on why Cora wanted to leave him out there and what went wrong in that inning for the Rays to score 5 runs to take the lead.

Iggy then looks at where this sweep puts the Red Sox in the Wild Card standings and explains why it's so important for the team to improve their performance against AL East team for the remainder of the season. Then Iggy shares some injury updates and previews the pitching matchups in the Yankees series.

Lastly, Iggy shares a mental health minute!

Chris Sale made his 2022 debut for the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday and did enough to give his team. the win, but the bullpen and some sloppy play on the basepath proved costly in the Red Sox's 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field.

NESN's Lauren Campbell breaks down the loss and dives into Sale's start and why fans should be encouraged by it -- especially when it comes to his velocity. Lauren also goes over a slew of injury updates including Trevor Story and Matt Strahm -- who were injured Tuesday -- Matt Barnes, Nate Eovaldi and Garrett Whitlock. There unfortunately is some bad news surrounding Kiké Hernández, will this mean the Red Sox will look to add outfield depth at the MLB trade deadline Aug. 2?

Red Sox continues their stretch of games that are against AL East rivals and now starts a 3-game series vs the Rays in Tampa Bay. Due to injuries, Brayan Bello is forced to make the 2nd start of his MLB career and continued to struggle against MLB batters allowing 5 runs in 3 innings. The Sox were able to tie it up in 3 innings due to clutch hits by JD Martinez, Jarren Duran and Xander Bogaerts. The bullpen blew it to hand the Red Sox the loss in Game one of the series.

Massachusetts Pirates Team Insider Jake Ignaszewski breaks down everything that happened in Monday night's loss and explains why fans should still stay optimistic about Brayan Bello even though he's struggled in his first two starts in the majors. Then Iggy breaks down the meltdown in the later innings that blew open the game. Chris Sale will be BACK tonight to make his second debut and Jake looks into his return to the team.

Lastly, Iggy does a mental health minute and looks at your reactions to the game on Twitter.

After injuries keep piling on for the Red Sox, they still found a way to split the series with their rival the Yankees this weekend. Despite rough pitching performances, the offense played a huge role in the Red Sox winning on both Saturday and Sunday. Clutch hits on Sunday from JD Martinez, Franchy Cordero and Christian Vazquez helped the Red Sox score eight runs from the 5th inning to the 7th inning to help them beat the Yankees 11-6.

NESN's Lauren Campbell and Massachusetts Pirates Team Insider Jake Ignaszewski break down everything that happened in Sunday's win and look at how the injury replacements from Worcester like Jeter Downs and Kaleb Ort played a big role in the victory. Then they share injury updates on Chris Sale, Garrett Whitlock and Nathan Eovaldi and look at what moves the Red Sox might have to make when they all return.

Then they talk about Rafael Devers and Xander Bogaerts both being selected to the 2022 All-Star game.

Lastly, the duo finishes the episodes with a mental health minute.

Red Sox ace Chris Sale is very close to coming back to the team after sustaining a stress fracture injury during Spring Training. Sale made his fourth rehab appearance of this stint on Wednesday but this time in Worcester and ended up pitching 3.2 innings and only allowing one run on three hits and striking out 5 batters. The main statistic that Sale was most frustrated about was that he walked 5 batters and he explained more of what he needs to work on before rejoining the Red Sox in his post-game press conference.

Massachusetts Pirates Team Insider Jake Ignaszewski had the opportunity to take part in the post-game press conference after Chris Sale's rehab start on Wednesday and asked Chris how this recent injury has changed his preparation at all and what his favorite foods at Fenway are. Other reporters from the Boston media asked Sale about his thoughts on his performances, his excitement about the young Red Sox pitchers and more.
