The Red Sox Have Lost Their Way

March 07, 2016

John Henry, one of the leaders of baseball's analytical revolution, now says the Red Sox are stepping away from the numbers. But Dave Dombrowski, the team's president of baseball operations, says the Sox have actually expanded their analytics department. It's another contradiction from an organization that no longer seems to have a philosophy or a plan. It's very disconcerting.

In addition to Henry's comments, Alex talks about the Pablo Sandoval fallout and why lambasting him for his weight isn't "fat shaming."

In the "Around the League" segment, Alex explores why the Dexter Fowler situation is unavoidable in today's media climate and also condemns the decision to make the neighborhood play reviewable.
