Joey starts the episode by talking about the Red Sox-Yankees series from this past weekend, Boston’s first AL East series win of the year (1-10-1). He highlights the return of Kiké Hernandez and Rob Refsnyder who will both be back in the three-game series against Pittsburgh. He breaks down the struggles of Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez with analysis and statistics behind each of their recent performances over the last two weeks. Then, Joey transitions to storylines across the MLB, from Johnny Cueto’s resurgence as a White Sox, to the Yankees falling to 7-13 in their last 20 games, and all the way to Walker Buehler’s season-ending injury. He also discusses the dominance of Jacob DeGrom who has a 1.62 earned run average and 28 strikeouts to one walk in 16.2 innings pitched. After that, he moves onto Week 1 of the NFL preseason and touches on the performances of rookies Malik Willis, Kenny Pickett and Aidan Hutchinson. Joey mentions the Baltimore Ravens who extended their remarkable preseason win streak to 21 games, having not lost since 2015. At the end, he talks about the Seahawks training camp battle between Drew Lock and Geno Smith, and the unlucky New York Jets who lost QB Zach Wilson for 2-4 weeks with a meniscus injury and OT Mekhi Becton for the remainder of the season with a fractured kneecap.
