The MiLB crew of Derrik, Hunter and Jake is back and they kick off with an in-depth discussion about Niko Kavadas, who had a big week for the WooSox and could possibly be seeing a promotion to the majors with Triston Casas’ possible long-term injury. What could we expect from the man who can drop Niko Nukes? Next, Derrik gives his report from his visit to Polar Park and his discussion with Vaughn Grissom and other observations. In Portland, the guys go over the redemption tour for Matthew Lugo, his rocky road as a prospect, and the strong numbers he’s put up to date. They also bring up Hunter Dobbins’ unique start, Marcelo Mayer’s walkoff, the possibility of a promotion for Mickey Gasper, and a strange week for Wikelman Gonzalez. There wasn’t as much to talk about in Greenville this week, but Juan Chacon is healthy and showing what he can do in his all-around game. In Salem, the Garcia brothers are still doing their thing, Natanael Yuten had a big week, and discussion about Jojo Ingrassia’s start and the continued velo bump for Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz led to a chat about the Red Sox difficulties developing homegrown pitching for decades. Then they wrap things up with Guess the Prospect.

Matthew Crory and Kevin Baver breakdown a series loss to the Guardians. The Sox are now 10-10 but that record just feels wrong. The defense is out of control, and this team is playing such sloppy baseball. The guys go over injury updates to O’Neill, Devers, Grissom, Romy Gonzalez and Pivetta, and what those impacts could mean to the lineup. Why is Rafaela not at SS? Houck threw a masterful game and the starting pitching continues to dominate, this team could be elite with the average defense and a lineup that isn’t asleep. Bobby Dalbec is discussed in depth. They also preview the upcoming Pirates series with predictions.

Derrik, Hunter and Jake are back together this week to run down all the happenings in the Red Sox minor league system. We start with the Sea Dogs, where Hunter got the chance to take in the action in Reading. Hunter recounted his conversation with Marcelo Mayer, who has been crushing it all season, proving doubters wrong and showing that his shoulder is healthy. Is there a path to the majors for him in 2024? The guys also talk about the other two members of the Big 3, Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel, and their equally strong start to the season for Portland. They spent a lot of time on the Sea Dogs, including Eddinson Paulino, Nick Yorke, Matthew Lugo, Zack Penrod and more. In Salem the Garcia brothers are hitting like crazy and it’s a fun story. They also discuss Miguel Bleis and a number of pitchers who had great weeks including Max Carlson, Isaac Stebbins, Noah Dean and more. For Greenville, Connelly Early has been the best pitcher and has been extremely impressive so far. They also discuss Kristian Campbell, Bryan Gonzalez, Luis Ravelo and others. The guys briefly touch on Worcester before finishing with Guess the Prospect.

Matthew Crory and Kevin Baver break down a toss sweep to the Orioles. Defense is so important to our team’s success and without Trevor story for the entire year now, its even more obvious that something needs to change. The guys talk about the current bullpen and some standouts from the series, they also talk about reinforcements that might be on the way soon. Mental Health is bigger then the game, and the guys talk about Jarren Duran’s post game 1 reaction and the plan to show him support with a standing ovation.. Not everyone liked that idea so much, including a famous Red Sox influencer. They Remember the Legacy of Tim Wakefield and Larry Lucchino and the 2004 Championship team that was celebrated at Fenway on opening day.

Is Justin Hagenman being groomed for a long man role? Then the guys talk about the Greenville Drive roster and how stacked their rotation could be especially once Yordanny Monegro returns from extended spring training. Luis Perales, Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, Jedixson Paez and more are discussed. What can we expect from a prospect like Caden Rose? And of course there’s lots of Allan Castro talk. The guys then chat about the Salem roster, especially the incredibly jacked Miguel Bleis and how fun guys like Nazzan Zanetello, Antonio Anderson, Johanfran Garcia and more can be.
