The Sox Win on Opening Day. Plus, the Celts Make a Statement, With Michael Pina.

Brian breaks down the Red Sox’s Opening Day win over the Reds, including a three-hit game from Roman Anthony and another dominant start from Garrett Crochet (0:00). Then, he chats with The Ringer’s Michael Pina about the Celtics’ impressive win over the Thunder on Wednesday, how the Celtics cracked the Thunder’s stout defense, teams for the Celtics to avoid in the first round of the playoffs, and more (25:00). Then, Brian and Jamie offer up some final thoughts on Opening Day (1:22:25).
