It's a good one, enjoy! 

The Red Sox miiiiiight not be a good baseball team. We recap and discuss getting swept by the Orioles, winning 2/3 from the Angels, and the game against Cleveland today. We break down the defensive problems, what needs to change, elements of the roster construction, and more. We also talk about how bad David Hamilton is, how Kenley Jansen bothers us, make our case for Rafaela to be the SS, and ask where is Yu Chang?? It's a loaded episode, enjoy!

The Sox coasted on the West Coast, going 7-3 on the road trip! We talk all about it, recapping the A's and Angels series. We discuss the great pitching, poor defense, and hit on Trevor Story's injury and Kenley Jansen's shakiness. We also preview the Orioles series at Fenway. Enjoy!

The Red Sox split the series against a very good Mariners team and we are fired up to talk about real baseball! We recap the series, get heated about Joely and Kenley, praise guys like O'Neill and Rafaela, talk about how great the rotation has been and the value of Andrew Bailey, and touch on every part of the first 4 games. Then we preview the A's series, flip flopping our predictions but settling on the same outcome. We also get some weekly Bob Talk in. It's a classic, enjoy!

PREDICTIONS EPISODE! We give our predictions for the 2024 Red Sox season, including some BOLD ones. We also do a series preview for the opening series in Seattle, and get in some weekly Bobby Dalbec talk. Enjoy, go Sox!

We started off this episode very optimistic, talking about the Brayan Bello extension, highlighting the guys going off in Spring Training, and how good the offense looks. But then we realized we have no pitching depth and fell back into negativity as we broke down the weak rotation, discussed if Kenley even wants to play baseball anymore, and more. Fear not, we also got some classic Bobby Dalbec talk in as well. Great episode, enjoy!

Fenway Park has real ketchup again! That's hands down the biggest news of the offseason. Other than that, we breakdown the state of the Red Sox in Spring Training right now including the status of Jordan Montgomery's free agency outlook. We also run through a roster prediction, discuss the outfield alignment and bench roster crunch, and talk about the Liam Hendriks signing and its impact on Kenley. Full breakdown on everything coming out of Sox camp and the team heading deeper into spring, enjoy! 

This Red Sox team is like unseasoned meatloaf. We discuss the comments coming out of Spring Training camp and how bad the vibes are. We also talk about the idea of signing Trevor Bauer, the wonderful Michael Fulmer signing, and why we want Tommy Pham. Then we touch on the Red Sox Netflix special that was announced and Theo Epstein joining Fenway Sports Group. And Joey makes a BOLD prediction to end the show. Great episode, enjoy! 

We're in a downhill spiral as Red Sox ownership froze payroll and called us all liars. Being a Red Sox fan is not fun right now, so we rant about the state of our broken franchise. We discuss Justin Turner signing with the Blue Jays, the comments made by ownership at Winter Weekend, the logical errors in betting on the future of our young core, the possibility of Adam Duvall coming back, and much more. A fantastic therapy episode for frustrated Sox fans, enjoy!

The Red Sox refuse to spend money and are passing on big name free agents. It's looking like they won't be competitive in 2024. There is a solution though and it's Bobby Dalbec! Give me Bob in the 4-hole! Anyways, we talk about how spineless ownership is with all their empty promises and cheap spending. We rant about the lack of direction or consistency with their moves, how they're wasting Devers' prime, and the reputation all of this is creating for them. We also breakdown the Lucas Giolito signing, discuss the Chris Sale trade, and a lot more.  We are BACK with a new logo and consistent episode recording, let's roll!
