Gordo and Sammy are out in the desert after witnessing the Sox look lifeless in the first two games against the D-Backs, but salvaged the series finale. How concerned should fans be with the struggles from the lineup without Roman Anthony and Payton Tolle? Also, its clear missing Roman AND Wilyer Abreu is hurting the offense so its right now about surviving until they return. And, there's more uncertainty in the back end of the bullpen and finding a fourth and fifth starter is more than crucial in this September run.

What kind of a gut punch did this injury leave to the Red Sox and their fanbase? Also, the upcoming west coast road trip to Arizona and Sacramento just got even more important.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): Red Sox video coordinator Mike Brenly returns to the podcast, this time to break down how he managed to identify that Trevor Story's home run - the shortest homer of the season - actually went off Jhonkensy Noel's glove and off the Fenway Park right field foul pole.

How great does it feel in the city of Boston to have the Sox in a playoff race entering the final month of the regular season?

What should we expect from the most talked about Sox pitching prospect in recent memory? Also, there may be a lineup change coming with David Hamilton heating up while Masataka Yoshida continues to struggle.

Even though they lost the series finale, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat call this weekend in The Bronx a success for the Red Sox with three wins over the Yankees. With the Sox now in the first Wild Card spot, how important is having home-field advantage? Then, Garrett Crochet was strong, but Brayan Bello was phenomenal which should calm everyone worrying about the second rotation spot for this year.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all gushing about Roman Anthony's first big time moment as a visitor in the historic Red Sox-Yankees rivalry. What level of stardom did the 21-year-old rookie rise to after an insurance two-run blast and pimp job to help snap a tough skid this past week? Also, lots of roster moves were made that could provide a spark including Richard Fitts heading to the bullpen and Jhostynxon Garcia set to make his debut.

While it was a series win for the Red Sox over the Marlins, it didn't feel like it for Gordo and Sammy after the Sunday finale loss. How much blame does Isaiah Campbell get for forcing Aroldis Chapman to be unavailable in a much-needed save situation? Also, everything again goes back to the trade deadline and the bullpen miss that Craig Breslow maybe didn't factor in. And, everyone will be happy with the Sox making the playoffs, but Gordo has bigger aspirations.

Its been a rough stretch for the Red Sox, but Gordo, Sammy, and Pat aren't freaking out about who the losses were to. Did Garrett Crochet's rough outing cause any concern while Dustin May provided some confidence? Then, Walker Buehler once again struggled and with the season nearing its end, how much longer can the Sox hope to rely on a turnaround? And, if Buehler loses his rotation spot, guys like Cooper Criswell and Kyle Harrison are waiting in the wings.

For the first time in a while, Gordo and Sammy react to a series loss from the Red Sox in San Diego against the Padres. Was this past weekend about what the Sox couldn't do or how good San Diego is? Also, there seems to be some great pitching depth that should be used whether its for Walker Buehler or a skipped start for Lucas Giolito. And, Alex Cora gave a rather odd answer for keeping in Giolito seemingly longer than he should while David Hamilton might need to go back to bunting basics.

Even though there was only one game between episodes, Gordo and Sammy got to recount to biggest headline of them all with Roman Anthony signing an extension. How happy should Red Sox fans be with the supposed future of the ballclub signing for an additional eight years of service? Also, this deal was signed well before Anthony hits the prime of his career which is something clearly John Henry and the front office learned. And, fans can stomach a loss after seven straight wins, but Dustin May didn't make the difference everyone was hoping in his Red Sox debut.

No crash landings expected for the Red Sox as they ride a seven-game winning streak that Gordo and Sammy are all excited about.

And, its clear to see how much Brayan Bello has changed with his continued success.

In a stunning change after a subpar trade deadline, the Red Sox came home swept the Houston Astros in seemingly convincing fashion. With the Sox now in the top Wild Card spot, should fans be expecting them to make the playoffs and even win the division? Also, reports of the price the Twins were asking for Joe Ryan should give some confidence that Garrett Crochet will have a reliable second starter behind him. And, Walker Buehler struggled once again and with the season winding down, time is ticking on his rotation spot if things don't turn around fast.

Safe to say Gordo, Sammy, and Pat aren't happy with the Red Sox action (or lack thereof) at the trade deadline. How frustrated are the guys with the Sox only grabbing a reliever in Steven Matz and a low-end starter in Dustin May? Also, even without big additions, the Sox are still a capable playoff team if the ball bounces the right way for them. And, Joe Ryan was the big fish the Sox couldn't get, but just like Garrett Crochet, the confidence in Ryan being traded to Boston might've actually increased.

Amidst a wild series in Minnesota so far, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all focused on the trade deadline which is now less than 48 hours away. Have the expectations changed because of the high price for controllable pieces? Also, rental starting pitchers seem to be the fad and a rumored name in Charlie Morton could be an option along with a Cleveland pitcher who's been in Sox rumors before. And, the bullpen name the guys would love to trade for and the likelihood the Rays decide to ship out Yandy Diaz.

And, off the heels of seeing old friend Kyle Schwarber, don't be surprised if his name gets floated for a potential reunion.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to the Red Sox losing two out of three games at Wrigley Field against the Cubs in their first series out of the All Star break. Did salvaging a win in the series finale help keep the vibes somewhat positive with another tough road series in Philadelphia up next? Also, the lineup was very quiet until the seventh inning in Game 3 which makes the need for another bat at the trade deadline more important than before. And, first base is the biggest offensive need and a debate between Ryan O'Hearn and Josh Naylor look like the obvious candidates.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat take into the All-Star break with the Red Sox on the highest of highs following their 10th straight win in a four-game home sweep of the Rays.

The Red Sox continue to win and win AND WIN which has Gordo, Sammy, and Pat debating if its time to embrace this team on the heels of seven straight victories. Are we ready call the Sox an elite team or is the relatively soft schedule clouding judgment?

Its Pat's turn to propose a Who Says No to Gordo and Sammy which solves the Red Sox need for another arm in the starting rotation. Would the Sox and Kansas City Royals agree to send Seth Lugo to Boston for a few prospects? Also, Lugo could be seen as a poison pill kind of player on an expiring deal and climbing up in age. Then, Mikey Romero is viewed as the biggest prospect in this deal, but Jhostynxon Garcia might need to be added and Kansas City would have to fall out of the race a little more.

The full crew is back as Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to a great 4th of July weekend for the Red Sox as they swept the Nationals on the road.

It may not feel like, but the Red Sox did win their series at home against the Reds which Gordo and Sammy are trying to figure out. How much did the loss in the series finale filled with self-inflicted wounds damper the mood surrounding the team? Then, reports say Aroldis Chapman and Alex Bregman are the most-likely trade deadline candidates, but it still doesn't feel like the time to have those conversations. And, Trevor Story is back on a hot streak while Masataka Yoshida is apparently adding first base to his rehab assignment.

And, Gordo throws Walker Buehler into the deal which gives some mixed feelings on how good of value that deal would be.

Those bad vibes for the Red Sox got worse as Gordo and Pat react to a fifth straight loss and a series sweep in Anaheim to finish a long west coast road trip. What was the most disappointing to see from the series against the Angels and how much longer of a leash does Walker Buehler have? Also, Alex Cora has tried everything to fix Jarren Duran's struggles, but if the Sox want to deal him his value may not be what they were hoping.
