WEEI's Boston Red Sox insider, Lou Merloni, joined Gresh and Fauria to discuss Red Sox current winning streak, the Sox bullpen, the adjustments made by Masataka Yoshida, who may be the Red Sox best pure hitter, and what's been going right for pitcher Nick Pivetta.

Hour 2 - Joe Weil rolls on with Red Sox Review, hitting on the offense getting 16 hits in tonight's 11-5 win over Toronto. The bats keep on swinging for the Sox, like Masataka Yoshida now on a 14 game hitting streak. With the offense rolling, can the pitching come around to really make a push for a wild card spot? Also, Justin Turner speaks to the media post Blue Jays.  

Hour 1 - Joe Weil takes you thought the Red Sox sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays, the first time since 2002 the Sox have swept the Blue Jays in a 4 or more game series. The Red Sox are now 19-14 and 3rd in the AL east. Alex Cora also speaks to the media post win.

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): It's not always easy to become a star in the major leagues, which is a reality Bradfo helps remind us on today's podcast. He reflects on one of the best examples of how patience is key in developing stars, talking with both Terry Francona and Alex Cora about Dustin Pedroia's 2007 turnaround in his Rookie of the Year season. Bradfo then catches up with Blue Jays ace Kevin Gausman, whose journey wasn't an easy one despite being the fourth overall pick in 2012. It is a powerful podcast for all of those believing baseball is easy for everyone.

From 'The Bradfo Sho' (subscribe here): Gordo and Coop are holding down the fort on a mid-week Who Says No ahead of the crux of this Blue Jays-Red Sox series. Tonight Alek Manoah will finally square off against Verdugo, but we're a bit more concerned with what this pitching staff will be needing to look like in June. Which guys will still be in the starting rotation, and who will be bumped to the pen... or even worse?
