Hour 1 - Bradford and Gordo put the 2026 Red Sox season to rest after their wild card loss. Why didn't they lean on their starting pitching more in those two games? Will the Red Sox every figure out…
This is like we said, this is a public service that we're doing today, which is this is your opportunity, 617-779-7937, just to get your feelings across.
And, and usually how this works, and I heard it t- this week, so obviously the game was, the last game was on Wednesday.
You have Thursday primarily all the reaction on EI and, and e- everywhere else, and then it g- it falls off a cliff.
It shouldn't go away in terms of our conversation, of our reflection because when you spend seven months of doing something, riding this wave, and then it ends, you have to figure out, "Well, well how was that ride?"

Yeah, what can they really say?
What did you learn? Like, what did you learn from these two games? Like, I think one of the things that Craig Breslow has done well over his tenure is that he has learned, he has evolved.
Definitely.
