Dustin Pedroia expects the Boston Red Sox to begin playing "winning baseball," even if the "only people who think we can do this are the 25 guys in here."

John Farrell held a team meeting prior to Monday night's game against the Atlanta Braves, which became the club's seventh-straight loss.

"We're worried about today's game," Pedroia said. "That's one thing that's going to start changing. We're not going to listen to you guys [media] bulls---. We're just going to play baseball. That's it."

Farrell touched on Pedroia's point about the team blocking out how the media is covering the team's performance.

"I don't know that I pay much attention to what's written or talked about," Farrell said. "I know it's all part of every major sports city. ... No one likes where we are, so that comes with the territory."
