The Red Sox were steaming hot after sweeping the Blue Jays in 4 games and won the first 2 games against the Phillies to extend their 8-game winning streak. Boston snapped that streak on Sunday after a 6-1 loss and the first time the offense hadn't performed well in a week.

Jake Ignaszewski and NESN's Lauren Willand break down the Phillies series and discuss what went wrong during Sunday's loss. Jake and Lauren react to the Zack Littell trade and discuss the recent injuries as well as the player coming back from injury.

Lastly, Jake and Lauren announce some sad news regarding the podcast.

The Boston Red Sox extended their win streak with a four-game series sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays.

NESN's Lauren Willand and Jake Ignaszewski recap the 11-5 win from Thursday night and highlight the offense with players like Masataka Yoshida, Jarren Duran and Rafael Devers leading the way. They look at the lineup getting multiple hits throughout and how Duran looks like a completely different player of late.

They also look at Brayan Bello's start and provide an update on Joely Rodriguez and speculate what move the Red Sox could make once he's ready to return to the big leagues.

The Boston Red Sox won the series against the Toronto Blue Jays in an 8-3 victory at Fenway Park on Wednesday with one game left in the set.

NESN’s Lauren Willand looks at the win and how the offense performed well as it continues to heat up at the plate. Lauren highlights Triston Casas — who broke an 0-for-11 slump with a big night at the plate — and how Alex Cora’s willingness to stick with the rookie has paid off (remember Dustin Pedroia all those years back?). Lauren also highlights Masataka Yoshida as he continues to be a force at the plate.

In the second segment of the Locked On Red Sox podcast, Lauren turns to the pitching. Nick Pivetta was at his best, despite a balk (that wasn’t really a balk) that gave the Blue Jays a one-run lead, Chris Martin had a great outing and Kutter Crawford left early due to hamstring tightness.

Lauren ends the show with the mental health minute!

Jake and Craig preview Games 2 through 4 and discuss each pitching matchup. They then talk about the potential rivalry that could be brewing between Verdugo and Manoah.

Red Sox infield top prospect Nick Yorke is currently ranked the No. 5 Red Sox prospect in their farm system and was drafted by the team in the first round of the 2020 MLB Draft. When Yorke broke onto the scene, he impressed immediately and won the MiLB Player of the Year. Last season, he struggled a little bit and decided to change his stance in the Arizona Fall League and it worked wonders. Yorke is now playing for the Portland Sea Dogs, Red Sox Double-A affiliate and is producing better numbers due to his new stance and offseason work.

WooSox Production & Content Assistant Jake Ignaszewski is joined by Nick Yorke to talk about how his new stance is feeling and what other things he worked on during the offseason. Jake and Nick also discuss how he doesn't allow the pressure of being a prospect to get to him and what goes into his mental game. Nick then shares his favorite hobbies to do off the field and some fun things he's done with teammates so far while in Portland.

Red Sox lose the series to the Baltimore Orioles, but on the bright side, Masataka Yoshida can't stop hitting home runs. Tanner Houck was on the bump for Game 3 on Wednesday, which could be his final audition to stay in the rotation. With James Paxton and Chris Martin on their way back, there are a lot of interesting moves that could happen.

WooSox Production & Content Assistant Jake Ignaszewski is joined by Corbin of Red Seat Radio to break down Games 2 and 3 of the Orioles series and look at the positives that came from it. Iggy and Corbin then debate what the rotation will look like after James Paxton returns and predict which moves will be made when players return from injury.

With the middle infielders playing musical chairs at the moment due to injuries, Jake and Corbin discuss what the positions will look like once players return from injury and debate how long of a leash the team should give Christian Arroyo to prove that he can be a starter. Lastly, they preview the upcoming series versus the Guardians and Blue Jays.

Boston Red Sox were riding high from the Brewers series but got brought down to Earth by the Baltimore Orioles in Game 1 of the series. Chris Sale looked like his early season form instead of the dominance that he showed against the Twins which hurt the Red Sox's chance to win after he blew the team's 4-run lead. In other news, Brayan Bello was demoted, while a lefty reliever was promoted. Yu Chang could also possibly be placed on the IL, so that brings up the question of who will replace him.

WooSox Production & Content Assistant Jake Ignaszewski is joined by Nat Gordon aka Gordo to break down the tough loss to the O's. Gordo and Iggy look into what went wrong for Chris Sale and the inconsistency of multiple pitchers in this rotation. They then look into the improved offensive production from Masataka Yoshida and discuss why they hope a like Triston Casas can show similar consistent success as well.

Lastly, Jake and Gordo react to the Bello demote and debate who could be sent down next as well as who could replace Yu Chang if he's injured.
