What should we expect from the most talked about Sox pitching prospect in recent memory?

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. And, the back end of the bullpen has certainty, but Payton Tolle and Walker Buehler could cause some major shifts entering the final month of the regular season.

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.

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.

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. What's been the best part about watching these Sox during another hot stretch that has them in a firm playoff position?

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.
