Now that the trade deadline has passed, this is the time when the Red Sox need to go on a run if they want to make the playoffs. Unfortunately, Wednesday wasn't the best start as the Red Sox lost to the Astros and were no-hit by Jose Urquidy for the first six innings. The Sox are now back to .500 but luckily the trade deadline acquisitions of Tommy Pham and Resse McGuire made an impact.

Massachusetts Pirates Team Insider Jake Ignaszewski and NESN's Lauren Campbell try to stay positive with everything happening. They give their full reactions to the trade deadline moves and explain what they think the Red Sox should've done. Then they break down Wednesday's loss to the Astros and preview the Royals series.
