Derrik, Hunter and Jake were thrilled to be joined by Salem Red Sox manager Liam Carroll for this week’s MiLB Talk on the Pesky Report! We asked Liam about his unique path to working in Minor League Baseball in America, as he is believed to be the first European-developed ballplayer to become an MiLB manager. What was it like trying to follow MLB in England as a kid? We also asked him about his role managing in the Red Sox organization, Salem’s season to date, and how they approach player development. We talked to Carroll about his experience managing several current and former Salem players, including recent show guest Jojo Ingrassia as well as Allan Castro, Yordanny Monegro, Nelly Taylor and more. News broke this week about Miguel Bleis’ imminent promotion to Greenville, so we asked Carroll about how he’s changed since his injury last year, how he has handled his superstar prospect status and what it’s like to have him in the clubhouse. Later, we talked to Carroll about riding the buses in the minors, how he helps young players transition into their career as pros and much more.

Death. Taxes. Red Sox playing .500 baseball.

Jordan and Brian get together and discuss the Boston Red Sox splitting a four-game weekend series with the worst team in baseball: The Chicago White Sox.

The two *again* discuss Tanner Houck's case to start the All-Star Game for the American League, as well as discuss if the Red Sox ought to be worried that right-hander Brayan Bello has yet to ascend into the frontline-caliber starting pitcher they extended him in hopes he'd become.

They also shine light on the continued production out of middle infielder David Hamilton and give flowers to future Hall of Fame closer Kenley Jansen.

Later, they talk about John Henry's comments before discussing their All-Star ballots ahead of the Midsummer Classic in mid-July.
