The crew tackles the drama between Willson Contreras, Cade Cavalli, and the Fenway crowd, sparking an intense debate on whether today's athletes are getting "soft" when responding to social media trolls and stadium hecklers. Plus, an in-depth breakdown of Jarren Duran's ongoing battles with fans, his public mental health journey, and whether the home crowd is helping or hurting him.
