Red Sox Segment
Steve and Chris are back with episode 51 of the Steve and the hood present boston sports podcast. As you know, a lot happened happened in the past week in the world of boston sports. Several Red Sox players participated in the All Star game, and the rest of the team had a nice break. We start off this episode by talking about the stellar first half of JD Martinez, and how he has helped other players become better hitters. We then discuss the first half record of the team, and if they will be able to continue it in the second half of the season. We also talk about potential deadline moves, and what we see is the biggest area of need for the club.
Patriots Segment
We discuss the future of Malcolm Mitchell.  Do you think he will be on the team this season? Mitchell was a vital part of the huge comeback in Super Bowl 49, and to be honest, it is difficult to see him struggle with injuries ever since. We also give our thoughts on if the Patriots should take a flyer on Dez Bryant if they can get him on a cheap 1 year prove it type of deal. If you were running the patriots, would you take a shot on him. Patriots training camp starts this week, and we get into what the biggest question mark is for the team. Do you see the biggest question WR, LB, or left tackle ?
We wrap up the episode by giving our reaction to the Marcus Smart contract. Do you like the deal, or is the price tag too much for your liking?
Thanks for listening and sharing this episode. Enjoy !
