Matt is joined by Kate (@_KateMack) to break down a tough series loss to the Blue Jays. We finally got good starting pitching AND offense was clicking, but the bullpen was the problem. They also look at how ridiculous of a Red Sox killer Dalton Varsho is, and which other teams he rakes against. They Compared Casas’s slow start in 23’ to 25’ and figure out how much of a leash does he have. They also figured out where Masataka Yoshida has been hiding. Crochet has already won more games in April then he did in every month other then May last season. They also preview the upcoming Twins series.               Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport.

MiLB Talk is back to discuss the recent wave of minor league promotions. Brandon Clarke and Franklin Arias jump to High-A with Hayden Mullins getting the promotion to Double-A. They talk about Salem’s ridiculous offensive week, as well as Worcester’s mashing that includes Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony going scorched earth on Syracuse pitching. Jake is completely over intentionally walking in the minor leagues. Portland had another weekend rained out, but still produced some good performances, and Miguel Bleis is waking up in Greenville.

Jordan, Brian and Jack recap a big weekend series for Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran, who managed seven hits across the team’s two wins, including a straight steal of home. The trio talks Duran, as well as when the dam will officially break for guys like Rafael Devers and Triston Casas before getting into some concerns about 2024 All-Star right-hander Tanner Houck.

Later, they get into what turned into a very solid outing from Brayan Bello in his 2025 road debut as well as guess who between top prospects Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony will debut first … also gauge how necessary it is for either of them to get the call imminently.

Lastly, they preview the upcoming series with the Toronto Blue Jays, as well as provide some x-factors.

Jake, Derrik, and Hunter return for a normal episode of MiLB Talk. The trio discusses the ridiculous offense of Triple-A over the last week, including big weeks from Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, and Vaughn Grissom. Andy Lugo and Big Al went viral for different (but great) reasons in Greenville. Jhostynxon Garcia and Mikey Romero’s improved approaches make us happy in Double-A. Salem’s offense is just the Franklin Arias and Antonio Anderson show. The pitching was great, though.               Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport.

The MiLB Talk crew is joined by Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. Jake, Derrik, and Hunter grill Speier about the Boston Red Sox farm system. What do the Red Sox do with Roman Anthony, and how soon does he push the issue? How does Speier (and people in the system) view Franklin Arias? Does Marcelo Mayer stay at shortstop, or do they move people around? The trio asks about a few standout hitters. They also talk plenty of pitching in the system, including Juan Valera, Brandon Clarke, Payton Tolle, and more.

Weather issues led to canceled games throughout the minor league system, but it couldn’t stop MiLB Talk. Derrik, Jake, and Hunter return to discuss the games that WERE played. Roman Anthony is hitting the ball hard, he’s not a first baseman, though, so stop asking. Portland’s offense is cold, but the pitchers are dazzling (including Yordanny Monegro’s Double-A debut). Yophery Rodriguez makes his organizational debut, and Miguel Bleis returns in High-A. Juan Valera is still a cheat code, and Franklin Arias isn’t going to be in Salem long.

Jordan and Brian are joined by Bayleigh to talk about a disappointing series against the Chicago White Sox, that saw the Red Sox drop two of the three games.

Some positives: Garrett Crochet is a stopper, Trevor Story has life and Triston Casas gave a media-trained response following his defensive woes in Game 1 of the series.

Negatives: Everything else.

Hopefully the 8-9 Red Sox come out to play at Steinbrenner Field against the Tampa Bay Rays, who have stayed a thorn in Boston's side for years regardless of the talent disparity.
