Episodes

#194: Sh-t Happens! 29.04.2025

This one is GREAT. From literally, um, having accidents in your pants, to the Netflix Red Sox series to baseball in Orlando and Colorado -- give this one a listen!!

#193: Springtime! 23.04.2025

Some green shoots of optimism in Boston. Meanwhile, the Yankees are in first but seem to lack depth. Plus, the Braves and bad leadership ... along with some bad umpiring.

Sox need to make changes. NOW! Plus, a great breakdown of the World Baseball Classic.

#191: Fenway Sucks! 14.04.2025

John goes OFF on Fenway after going for the first time in years. Oh yeah, we also evaluate first leg of season and assess jinxing no-no's. Enjoy!

#190: Openers 08.04.2025

Brian shares his thoughts on Fenway and his first-hand look at the team -- Devers still liked, Abreu LOVED. John talks contracts and early season take on Yanks et al.

#189 Judge-ing bats, Devers 31.03.2025

Aaron Judge and the Yankees have been monstrous. Is it those weird bats? And can Devers not see through his tears or is he really hurt?

#188: Here We Go! 26.03.2025

We set the table for the Sox and Yanks, make our picks division by division and pick a winner -- with SOME surprises.

#187: Capitulation 17.03.2025

Raffy Devers caves, Yankees pitching is thin ... maybe call Joey Gallo?!?!

#186: Cole Blooded Reality 11.03.2025

Is it a 5-alarm fire for the Yankees? John's hot take may surprise you. Regardless, the AL East may now be wide open. Buckle up.

#185: Spring Updates 04.03.2025

No Devers yet -- Good for Sox? Yankee injuries mount. Plus, Pete Rose and ... Andre Agassi?!

#184: Beards, Boone and Bregman 21.02.2025

Triple B! Who's gonna be the first Yankee to test the new beard policy? And will Boone actually manage for the full length of his deal. And yes, Brian is still pissed at Raffy Devers.

#183: Bregman, Devers and Dogs 18.02.2025

The real reason Bregman may work in Boston and why John thinks Devers is done at third. Plus, facial hair ... and we have dogs!

#182: Alex Bregman! 13.02.2025

He signs for 40 million a year and won't even play his true position. Good or bad deal? A good fast listen on a huge signing.

#181: Dom Rivers 29.01.2025

Dom is a baseball lifer, from OG Roto to Elly De La Cruz, he knows A LOT. He gives us a bunch of takes, including the Sox and Yanks. Good stuff!

#177: So Long Soto 09.12.2024

Juan Soto is a Met. WTF do the Yankees do now? And did you even believe the Sox tried? We pick up the pieces as the Winter Meetings begin and EVERYONE expects a Yankee response.

HOT Stove 27.11.2024

Blake Snell gets paid ... by the evil empire! What it means for the whole market, and of course, Juan Soto. AND do you believe the Sox are in on all these FA's? (Hint: No)

#175: Only Two! 13.11.2024

John says only TWO teams will compete for Juan Soto. You know one of them. Who's the other?

Our picks for the LCS. Plus, we talk options for the Rays stadium and whether we'd pay a player to get a piece of his future earnings, something you can actually do.
