The Red Sox win another series, this team against the first-place Minnesota Twins! Chris Sale was filthy. We’re talking about how he looked like vintage Sale and might’ve just needed to get angry to get his swagger back. Alex Verdugo is tearing the cover off the ball, Jarren Duran looks like a whole new player at the plate, Yoshida seems to be making progress in his approach, and Tanner Houck had the best start of his career. The vibes are high going into the weekend, enjoy! If you or someone yo...

The Red Sox took three of four from the Angels in a much-needed series win. Garrett Whitlock became the first starter to go past five innings and Tyler is finally joining the Whitlock as a starter bandwagon. The Ohtani/Bello matchup was cut short by the rain, but we’re talking about if we’re worried about what we saw from Brayan today. It’s a real tough KKSMVP decision, so Coley joins to help settle the debate. Tyler also introduces his theory about dolphin people and Coley gives his thoughts on...

Welp, the Rays swept the Red Sox. The theme of today's episode is roster construction. There was a lot made of the lineup that the Red Sox trotted out the last two days and we're taking a look at how we even got to this point. Plain and simple, some of the guys in the starting lineup today and yesterday should not be who you are relying on to get the job done against a divisional rival. We're talking about who's to blame and where we go from here. At the end of the day it's April 13th and anythi...

The Red Sox swept the Tigers and as much as we’d like to celebrate the series, we’re in limbo waiting on the Adam Duvall news. Coley joins the show today to talk about the roster moves that could coincide with Duvall going on the IL and Whitlock joining the team. Will Kiké move to center? Will Braiser be DFA’d? Will Bobby Dalbec start at shortstop and welcome in the era of #BobStop? A lot of questions will be answered when the lineup card drops today, and boy could this get bad for Tyler. We als...

After taking two out of three from the Orioles and starting the season with the vibes high, the Red Sox offense disappeared as they got swept by the Pirates. We're reacting to the disappointing series loss to Pittsburgh but also staying realistic. It was a tough series, but there's tons of season left. Today we're talking about how much of an impact Bello, Whitlock, and Paxton could be when they return from injury. We're also comparing and contrasting the Orioles and Pirates series and talking a...

We’re talking whether we’re concerned about Kluber and Sale’s rocky starts, the lineup catching fire, Ort’s gutsy performances, the new LED lights at Fenway and the light show, and more!

Today we’re saying goodbye to Pat Light. Pat has informed us that he will be taking a lesser role in the podcast and will only join us “from time to time” when it fits his schedule. So he will basically be playing the exact same role as last year and nothing is changing. Other topics include the signing of Adam Duvall, Winter Weekend activities, projecting the 2023 Red Sox lineup, and Yoshi’s celebration when he gets a hit.

Trevor Story got surgery on his elbow earlier this week and will miss a significant chunk of the 2023 season if not all of it. We're talking about the Red Sox options at SS until he gets back and who they might target to fill in the gaps. The Red Sox called to check in on Carlos Correa which Jared hinted at on Twitter, which naturally led to people thinking it was a done deal that he was coming to Boston.

Another integral member of the 18' Championship team is no longer with the Red Sox. Nate Eovaldi signed with the Rangers this week and we're saying our goodbyes. The Red Sox signed Corey Kluber in response and we're comparing what kind of production he can bring to this rotation vs Eovaldi. With JD and Eovaldi no longer on the team, we're looking back at the 2022 trade deadline and wondering why the Red Sox didn't offload them midseason if they weren't going to keep them.

Everyone's tired of the negativity so we're doing a strictly positive podcast! Xander Bogaerts is a San Diego Padre baby!

It’s been CHAOS in the streets this week with Xander Bogaerts rumors leaking left and right, so we got our pal Coley Mick on the pod to make heads or tails of it all. The front office has reportedly been texting NONSTOP, even during Thanksgiving dinner. Good to hear they didn’t shut their phones off during the heigh of free agency. Peter Gammons tweeted that Xander had “severed ties” with the Red Sox earlier this week which threw Twitter into an absolute frenzy. Thankfully many people know this ...

The Red Sox finally made a move this offseason and signed Joelyz Rodríguez. The Red Sox promised that they were going to spend this offseason and boy did they ever. Many people are saying this is the piece that will put them over the hump in the bullpen and make this club a championship caliber team. Jared tries to think of a Mets fan he can call to get the rundown on the Z man but he comes up short. This leads to the realization that we don't have a trustworthy Red Sox beat writer on our side a...
