Tonight on Red Sox Digest LIVE, we break down Boston’s 9–3 “route” of the Colorado Rockies—and why it wasn’t as impressive as it sounds. From Dick Fitts’s reluctant victory to Roman Anthony’s highlight-reel night, plus an inexcusable blunder in the infield, we cover it all.

Topics we’ll cover:

⚾ Starter or bulk reliever? Is Richard “Dick” Fitts rotation-worthy or destined for mop-up duty?

💥 Roman Anthony’s rise: The rookie’s power surge and wheels-on-fire base running

🤦‍♂️ Eaton’s abomination: That third-base play that should’ve never happened

💸 Yoshida’s contract horror: Why Masataka is clogging up the roster and no one wants him

🔄 Trade rumors: Is Jarren Duran heading out for real pitching help at the deadline?

🔮 Series preview: Brian Bello takes on Kyle Freeland in Game 2

Tonight on Red Sox Digest LIVE, Jim Dalfino is joined by Nick Face and Curry Mitchell to celebrate a sweep of the Nationals—because nothing says “we’re barely above .500” like beating a team in full teardown mode. We’ll dissect every angle of Boston’s three-game clinic and ask the hard questions no one else will:

• ⚾ Ceddanne Rafaela: Is his hot bat a sign of things to come or just Nationals-only fireworks?
• 🎯 Garrett Crochet: Ride the strikeout king to the All-Star break or start managing those innings before he craps out?
• 🔒 Hicks vs. Chapman: Who really belongs in the ninth inning—and is Boston showcasing trade bait?
• 🔥 Trevor Story: Real turnaround or another June fluke destined to crater?
• 💥 Nationals’ Fire Sale: Credit (or blame) the Sox for DC’s franchise purge—and should Boston be dialing for CJ Abrams or James Wood?
• 🏔️ Rockies Preview: Can Boston keep rolling and sweep Colorado, or will the thin air thin out your patience?
