In this episode, Joey recaps what happened in the Red Sox’s huge win over the Atlanta Braves last night, before previewing tonight’s Game 2 pitching matchup. He breaks down the recent success of Yu Chang and the turnaround of Triston Casas. After that, he moves onto summarizing what has happened in the Angels’ most recent games with them holding a 6-1 record over the last seven contests. He breaks down the Angels’ walk-off win last night over Detroit with a big hit from Mickey Moniak. Joey talks about Moniak’s impressive development and how Luis Rengifo has heated up at the dish. At the end, he makes the case for the Angels to not trade Shohei Ohtani due to their recent success cutting their deficit in the American League Wild Card race. Joey argues that the Red Sox and Angels should both be buyers at the approaching trade deadline on August 1.
