From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): 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? Also, the confidence in the roster is skyrocketing with Masataka Yoshida returning and Alex Bregman soon to follow, but a move for the crowded outfield still seems inevitable. And, Joe Ryan reportedly has interest from the Sox, but its going to take a big haul to poach him from Minnesota.

(00:00) Fred opens up the show talking about “Booty Bandits”, ASMR and algorithms. (22:48) WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT: Sergio Busquets may be the teammate most in sync with Lionel Messi, as their 2-1 win over the Revolution marked their 628th game together since 2008. Masataka Yoshida went 3-for-4 with an RBI in his season debut as the Red Sox swept the Rockies with a 10-2 win.

The Boston Red Sox absolutely smoked the Colorado Rockies this week, sweeping the series and winning in aggregate 29-7. Masataka Yoshida made his return to the bigs, contributing three hits and an RBI to tie Connor Wong with one (1) run batted in on the season. It's great to see his perfect running form back at Fenway Park.Jordan, Doink and Bayleigh go off on a few tangents, we're sorry to confess one was about Rafael Devers (again), but another was a major flip-flop on Jarren Duran and the Red Sox outfield. Why not Masa at 1B?!Brayan Bello pitched his first nine-inning complete game on Tuesday, and Lucas Giolito dominated again on Wednesday. Just a tremendous series of belt to ass again for the Boston Red Sox!Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport.

We like to think the Reds series was promising. We describe it in this episode as eating something delicious followed by eating something terrible, in so many words. We like to think the Nationals series was awesome. Stop using Greg Weissert, you animals. The hosts went on excursions this week. Jack made a pilgrimage to Worcester to see everyone's darling boy Masataka Yoshida rehab. Ian went to Fenway for a little banana ball. They both return with good news of the state of baseball. Would you rather go to the White House or the zoo? Apparently the zoo is awesome according to former DC area native, Jack Webster. Reminder! We are not a political podcast!

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Right before they head down to Spring Training, Gordo and Sammy get into the latest developments regarding the roster construction and who may be in what roles. Is Aroldis Chapman really the right choice Alex Cora should make for closer?

And, Rafael Devers being promised one thing while the team doing another might cause a problem that is small now, but could grow in an instant.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are joined by Mass Live's Red Sox insider Chris Cotillo fresh off the heels of his article detailing Nolan Arenado's preference to being traded to Boston.

HR4 - KJ and Jon shift to the Red Sox and still slow market for the big bats still available to sign.

Then, the guys outline what the sox starting rotation should look like and lay out the best and worst-case scenarios for their season.

And, how much better would the Sox lineup against lefties do with Diaz in the mix?

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat get you in the holiday spirit by boasting about the latest Red Sox signing Patrick Sandoval. Why they push back on those critiquing a signing that could work out in the back half of this season and the full 2026 campaign? Also, the Alex Bregman talk ramps up with the Sox need for a right-handed bat, but the defense and where he'll play is the biggest question to discuss along with how Masataka Yoshida provides a roadblock for some of these moves. And, with the Twins potentially selling off their pieces for a team sale, the Sox should have eyes on Pablo Lopez as a bolster to the rotation.
