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.

Also, Walker Buehler may have saved himself at least one more start in the rotation, but the need for another arm is up there with a bat and a reliever. And, Garrett Crochet, Aroldis Chapman, and Alex Bregman will represent the Sox at the All Star Game, but there are definitely names that can be argued should have made the roster.

Then, it should be pretty obvious that Roman Anthony is a solution, but not everyone within the organization seems to be thinking that way. And, the struggles seem to circle around Rafael Devers not playing in the field while Ceddanne Rafaela and Trevor Story's upsides could determine who gets to play shortstop.

Things have taken a drastic turn for the worse as Gordo and Pat give their thoughts on more lackluster efforts from the Red Sox lineup.

Not only was the weather cold, but so was the Red Sox offense which Gordo, Sammy, and Pat focus on with a walk-off win salvaging a home series with the Blue Jays? How angry and frustrated should Sox fans be with three of four losses this early in the season to a division rival?
